The /title command would fail with 'Session not found in database.' when
used as the first command in a new session. This happened because:
1. Gateway creates session in session_store (in-memory)
2. But SQLite _session_db only gets sessions when agent flushes messages
3. set_session_title() does UPDATE which fails if row doesn't exist
Now we check if session exists in SQLite and create it if needed before
attempting to set the title.
Fixes: Session not found in database. error on /title in new chats
When streaming is enabled, text chunks are sent to the user in
real-time including raw MEDIA: tags. The normal post-processing in
_process_message_background is skipped when already_sent=True, so
MEDIA: files were never extracted or delivered — the user just saw
the raw MEDIA:/path/to/file text.
Fix: after streaming completes, extract MEDIA: tags and local file
paths from the response and deliver them via the platform adapter.
The text is already sent (with the raw tag visible in the stream),
but the actual files now get delivered as attachments.
Add @file:path, @folder:dir, @diff, @staged, @git:N, and @url:
references that expand inline before the message reaches the LLM.
Supports line ranges (@file:main.py:10-50), token budget enforcement
(soft warn at 25%, hard block at 50%), and path sandboxing for gateway.
Core module from PR #2090 by @kshitijk4poor. CLI and gateway wiring
rewritten against current main. Fixed asyncio.run() crash when called
from inside a running event loop (gateway).
Closes#682.
When streaming is enabled, the base adapter receives None from
_handle_message (already_sent=True) and cannot run auto-TTS for
voice input. The runner was unconditionally skipping voice input
TTS assuming the base adapter would handle it.
Now the runner takes over TTS responsibility when streaming has
already delivered the text response, so voice channel playback
works with both streaming on and off.
Streaming off behavior is unchanged (default already_sent=False
preserves the original code path exactly).

Mirrors the CLI fix for the gateway /model handler. When the user is on
a custom provider (provider=custom, localhost, or 127.0.0.1 endpoint),
/model <name> no longer tries to auto-detect a provider switch.
Previously, typing /model openrouter/nvidia/nemotron:free on Telegram
while on a localhost endpoint would silently accept the model name on
the local server — auto-detection failed to match the free model, so
the provider stayed as custom with the localhost base_url. The user saw
'Model changed' but requests still went to localhost, which doesn't
serve that model.
Now shows the endpoint URL and provider:model syntax tip, matching
the CLI behavior.
Adds /queue <prompt> (alias /q) that queues a message for the next
turn while the agent is busy, without interrupting the current run.
- CLI: /queue <prompt> puts it in _pending_input for the next turn
- Gateway: /queue <prompt> creates a pending MessageEvent on the
adapter, picked up after the current agent run finishes
- Enter still interrupts as usual (no behavior change)
- /queue with no prompt shows usage
- /queue when agent is idle tells user to just type normally

Two fixes for Telegram/gateway-specific bugs:
1. Anthropic adapter: strip orphaned tool_result blocks (mirror of
existing tool_use stripping). Context compression or session
truncation can remove an assistant message containing a tool_use
while leaving the subsequent tool_result intact. Anthropic rejects
these with a 400: 'unexpected tool_use_id found in tool_result
blocks'. The adapter now collects all tool_use IDs and filters out
any tool_result blocks referencing IDs not in that set.
2. Gateway: /reset and /new now bypass the running-agent guard (like
/status already does). Previously, sending /reset while an agent
was running caused the raw text to be queued and later fed back as
a user message with the same broken history — replaying the
corrupted session instead of resetting it. Now the running agent is
interrupted, pending messages are cleared, and the reset command
dispatches immediately.
Tests updated: existing tests now include proper tool_use→tool_result
pairs; two new tests cover orphaned tool_result stripping.

* feat: context pressure warnings for CLI and gateway
User-facing notifications as context approaches the compaction threshold.
Warnings fire at 60% and 85% of the way to compaction — relative to
the configured compression threshold, not the raw context window.
CLI: Formatted line with a progress bar showing distance to compaction.
Cyan at 60% (approaching), bold yellow at 85% (imminent).
◐ context ▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▱▱▱▱▱▱▱▱ 60% to compaction 100k threshold (50%) · approaching compaction
⚠ context ▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▱▱▱ 85% to compaction 100k threshold (50%) · compaction imminent
Gateway: Plain-text notification sent to the user's chat via the new
status_callback mechanism (asyncio.run_coroutine_threadsafe bridge,
same pattern as step_callback).
Does NOT inject into the message stream. The LLM never sees these
warnings. Flags reset after each compaction cycle.
Files changed:
- agent/display.py — format_context_pressure(), format_context_pressure_gateway()
- run_agent.py — status_callback param, _context_50/70_warned flags,

Place a sentinel in _running_agents immediately after the "already
running" guard check passes — before any await. Without this, the
numerous await points between the guard (line 1324) and agent
registration (track_agent at line 4790) create a window where a
second message for the same session can bypass the guard and start
a duplicate agent, corrupting the transcript.
The await gap includes: hook emissions, vision enrichment (external
API call), audio transcription (external API call), session hygiene
compression, and the run_in_executor call itself. For messages with
media attachments the window can be several seconds wide.
The sentinel is wrapped in try/finally so it is always cleaned up —
even if the handler raises or takes an early-return path. When the
real AIAgent is created, track_agent() overwrites the sentinel with
the actual instance (preserving interrupt support).
Also handles the edge case where a message arrives while the sentinel
is set but no real agent exists yet: the message is queued via the
adapter's pending-message mechanism instead of attempting to call
interrupt() on the sentinel object.
Two issues with /model preventing proper provider switching:
1. Bare provider names not detected: typing '/model nous' treated 'nous'
as a model name instead of triggering a provider switch. Fixed by adding
step 0 in detect_provider_for_model() that checks if the input matches
a known provider name/alias (excluding 'custom'/'openrouter' which need
explicit model names) and returns that provider's default model.
2. Custom endpoint details hidden: /model (no args) showed '[custom]' with
just a usage hint but no endpoint URL or model name. Now displays the
configured base_url for custom providers in both CLI and gateway.
Note: config base_url and OPENAI_BASE_URL are intentionally NOT cleared on
provider switch — dedicated provider paths (nous, anthropic, codex) have
their own credential resolution that ignores these, and clearing them would
destroy the user's custom endpoint config, preventing switching back.

The gateway approval system previously intercepted bare 'yes'/'no' text
from the user's next message to approve/deny dangerous commands. This was
fragile and dangerous — if the agent asked a clarify question and the user
said 'yes' to answer it, the gateway would execute the pending dangerous
command instead. (Fixes#1888)
Changes:
- Remove bare text matching ('yes', 'y', 'approve', 'ok', etc.) from
_handle_message approval check
- Add /approve and /deny as gateway-only slash commands in the command
registry
- /approve supports scoping: /approve (one-time), /approve session,
/approve always (permanent)
- Add 5-minute timeout for stale approvals
- Gateway appends structured instructions to the agent response when a
dangerous command is pending, telling the user exactly how to respond
- 9 tests covering approve, deny, timeout, scoping, and verification
that bare 'yes' no longer triggers execution

Only mention the hermes-agent-setup skill in STT failure notes (both
the direct user message and the agent context note) when the skill is
actually installed. Uses _find_skill() from skill_manager_tool.
Also confirmed: STT is the only user-facing failure case where the
setup skill hint helps. Vision failures are transient API issues,
runtime transcription errors indicate a configured-but-broken provider,
and platform startup warnings are server logs.
Skill now covers full CLI usage (hermes setup, hermes skills, hermes
tools, hermes config, session management, etc.), config file reference,
and expanded gateway commands.
Agent context notes for STT failure now mention the hermes-agent-setup
skill is available to help users configure Hermes features.
When a user sends a voice message and STT isn't configured, the gateway
now sends a clear message directly to the user explaining how to set up
voice transcription, rather than relying on the agent to relay an
injected context note (which often gets misinterpreted).
Also adds a hermes-agent-setup bundled skill covering STT/TTS setup,
tool configuration, dependency installation, and troubleshooting.
Add first-class GitHub Copilot and Copilot ACP provider support across

* 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.

and the config version gap discovery.

After the first user→assistant exchange, Hermes now generates a short
descriptive session title via the auxiliary LLM (compression task config).
Title generation runs in a background thread so it never delays the
user-facing response.
Key behaviors:
- Fires only on the first 1-2 exchanges (checks user message count)
- Skips if a title already exists (user-set titles are never overwritten)
- Uses call_llm with compression task config (cheapest/fastest model)
- Truncates long messages to keep the title generation request small
- Cleans up LLM output: strips quotes, 'Title:' prefixes, enforces 80 char max
- Works in both CLI and gateway (Telegram/Discord/etc.)
Also updates /title (no args) to show the session ID alongside the title
in both CLI and gateway.

The privacy.redact_pii config reader on line 1546 used bare 'yaml'
which is not in scope — yaml is imported as '_yaml' at module level
(line 93) and as '_y' in other methods. The NameError was silently
caught by the try/except, so PII redaction never activated even when
configured.
Add a local 'import yaml as _pii_yaml' consistent with the pattern
used elsewhere in the file.
Line 1482 referenced 'session_key' which is not defined until line 1519,
causing a NameError on every skill slash command invocation in the gateway
(e.g. /deploy, /plan-with-skill). The try/except silently swallowed the
error, making all user-defined skill slash commands silently fail.
The correct variable is '_quick_key', defined at line 1292 (same variable
used by the /plan handler on line 1379).
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).

* fix: thread safety for concurrent subagent delegation
Four thread-safety fixes that prevent crashes and data races when
running multiple subagents concurrently via delegate_task:
1. Remove redirect_stdout/stderr from delegate_tool — mutating global
sys.stdout races with the spinner thread when multiple children start
concurrently, causing segfaults. Children already run with
quiet_mode=True so the redirect was redundant.
2. Split _run_single_child into _build_child_agent (main thread) +
_run_single_child (worker thread). AIAgent construction creates
httpx/SSL clients which are not thread-safe to initialize
concurrently.
3. Add threading.Lock to SessionDB — subagents share the parent's
SessionDB and call create_session/append_message from worker threads
with no synchronization.
4. Add _active_children_lock to AIAgent — interrupt() iterates
_active_children while worker threads append/remove children.
5. Add _client_cache_lock to auxiliary_client — multiple subagent
threads may resolve clients concurrently via call_llm().

* feat: Honcho base_url override via config.yaml + quick command alias type
Two features salvaged from PR #1576:
1. Honcho base_url override: allows pointing Hermes at a remote
self-hosted Honcho deployment via config.yaml:
honcho:
base_url: "http://192.168.x.x:8000"
When set, this overrides the Honcho SDK's environment mapping
(production/local), enabling LAN/VPN Honcho deployments without
requiring the server to live on localhost. Uses config.yaml instead
of env var (HONCHO_URL) per project convention.
2. Quick command alias type: adds a new 'alias' quick command type
that rewrites to another slash command before normal dispatch:
quick_commands:
sc:
type: alias
target: /context
Supports both CLI and gateway. Arguments are forwarded to the
target command.

* fix: prevent infinite 400 failure loop on context overflow (#1630)
When a gateway session exceeds the model's context window, Anthropic may
return a generic 400 invalid_request_error with just 'Error' as the
message. This bypassed the phrase-based context-length detection,
causing the agent to treat it as a non-retryable client error. Worse,
the failed user message was still persisted to the transcript, making
the session even larger on each attempt — creating an infinite loop.
Three-layer fix:
1. run_agent.py — Fallback heuristic: when a 400 error has a very short
generic message AND the session is large (>40% of context or >80
messages), treat it as a probable context overflow and trigger
compression instead of aborting.
2. run_agent.py + gateway/run.py — Don't persist failed messages:
when the agent returns failed=True before generating any response,
skip writing the user's message to the transcript/DB. This prevents
the session from growing on each failure.
3. gateway/run.py — Smarter error messages: detect context-overflow
failures and suggest /compact or /reset specifically, instead of a
generic 'try again' that will fail identically.
* fix(skills): detect prompt injection patterns and block cache file reads
Adds two security layers to prevent prompt injection via skills hub
cache files (#1558):
1. read_file: blocks direct reads of ~/.hermes/skills/.hub/ directory
(index-cache, catalog files). The 3.5MB clawhub_catalog_v1.json
was the original injection vector — untrusted skill descriptions
in the catalog contained adversarial text that the model executed.
2. skill_view: warns when skills are loaded from outside the trusted
~/.hermes/skills/ directory, and detects common injection patterns
in skill content ("ignore previous instructions", "<system>", etc.).
Cherry-picked from PR #1562 by ygd58.
* fix(tools): chunk long messages in send_message_tool before dispatch (#1552)
Long messages sent via send_message tool or cron delivery silently
failed when exceeding platform limits. Gateway adapters handle this
via truncate_message(), but the standalone senders in send_message_tool
bypassed that entirely.
- Apply truncate_message() chunking in _send_to_platform() before
dispatching to individual platform senders
- Remove naive message[i:i+2000] character split in _send_discord()
in favor of centralized smart splitting
- Attach media files to last chunk only for Telegram
- Add regression tests for chunking and media placement

* fix(approval): show full command in dangerous command approval (#1553)
Previously the command was truncated to 80 chars in CLI (with a
[v]iew full option), 500 chars in Discord embeds, and missing entirely
in Telegram/Slack approval messages. Now the full command is always
displayed everywhere:
- CLI: removed 80-char truncation and [v]iew full menu option
- Gateway (TG/Slack): approval_required message includes full command
in a code block
- Discord: embed shows full command up to 4096-char limit
- Windows: skip SIGALRM-based test timeout (Unix-only)
- Updated tests: replaced view-flow tests with direct approval tests

* fix(cli): flush stdout during agent loop to prevent macOS display freeze (#1624)
The interrupt polling loop in chat() waited on the queue without
invalidating the prompt_toolkit renderer. On macOS, the StdoutProxy
buffer only flushed on input events, causing the CLI to appear frozen
during tool execution until the user typed a key.
Fix: call _invalidate() on each queue timeout (every ~100ms, throttled
to 150ms) to force the renderer to flush buffered agent output.
* fix(claw): warn when API keys are skipped during OpenClaw migration (#1580)
When --migrate-secrets is not passed (the default), API keys like
OPENROUTER_API_KEY are silently skipped with no warning. Users don't
realize their keys weren't migrated until the agent fails to connect.
Add a post-migration warning with actionable instructions: either
re-run with --migrate-secrets or add the key manually via
hermes config set.

* fix(gateway): cap interrupt recursion depth to prevent resource exhaustion (#816)
When a user sends multiple messages while the agent keeps failing,
_run_agent() calls itself recursively with no depth limit. This can
exhaust stack/memory if the agent is in a failure loop.
Add _MAX_INTERRUPT_DEPTH = 3. When exceeded, the pending message is
logged and the current result is returned instead of recursing deeper.
The log handler duplication bug described in #816 was already fixed
separately (AIAgent.__init__ deduplicates handlers).
* fix(gateway): /model shows active fallback model instead of config default (#1615)
When the agent falls back to a different model (e.g. due to rate
limiting), /model still showed the config default. Now tracks the
effective model/provider after each agent run and displays it.
Cleared when the primary model succeeds again or the user explicitly
switches via /model.
Cherry-picked from PR #1616 by MaxKerkula. Added hasattr guard for
test compatibility.
* feat(gateway): inject reply-to message context for out-of-session replies (#1594)
When a user replies to a Telegram message, check if the quoted text
exists in the current session transcript. If missing (from cron jobs,
background tasks, or old sessions), prepend [Replying to: "..."] to
the message so the agent has context about what's being referenced.
- Add reply_to_text field to MessageEvent (base.py)
- Populate from Telegram's reply_to_message (text or caption)
- Inject context in _handle_message when not found in history
Based on PR #1596 by anpicasso (cherry-picked reply-to feature only,
excluded unrelated /server command and background delegation changes).

* fix(tools): chunk long messages in send_message_tool before dispatch (#1552)
Long messages sent via send_message tool or cron delivery silently
failed when exceeding platform limits. Gateway adapters handle this
via truncate_message(), but the standalone senders in send_message_tool
bypassed that entirely.
- Apply truncate_message() chunking in _send_to_platform() before
dispatching to individual platform senders
- Remove naive message[i:i+2000] character split in _send_discord()
in favor of centralized smart splitting
- Attach media files to last chunk only for Telegram
- Add regression tests for chunking and media placement

* fix(approval): show full command in dangerous command approval (#1553)
Previously the command was truncated to 80 chars in CLI (with a
[v]iew full option), 500 chars in Discord embeds, and missing entirely
in Telegram/Slack approval messages. Now the full command is always
displayed everywhere:
- CLI: removed 80-char truncation and [v]iew full menu option
- Gateway (TG/Slack): approval_required message includes full command
in a code block
- Discord: embed shows full command up to 4096-char limit
- Windows: skip SIGALRM-based test timeout (Unix-only)
- Updated tests: replaced view-flow tests with direct approval tests

* fix(cli): flush stdout during agent loop to prevent macOS display freeze (#1624)
The interrupt polling loop in chat() waited on the queue without
invalidating the prompt_toolkit renderer. On macOS, the StdoutProxy
buffer only flushed on input events, causing the CLI to appear frozen
during tool execution until the user typed a key.
Fix: call _invalidate() on each queue timeout (every ~100ms, throttled
to 150ms) to force the renderer to flush buffered agent output.
* fix(claw): warn when API keys are skipped during OpenClaw migration (#1580)
When --migrate-secrets is not passed (the default), API keys like
OPENROUTER_API_KEY are silently skipped with no warning. Users don't
realize their keys weren't migrated until the agent fails to connect.
Add a post-migration warning with actionable instructions: either
re-run with --migrate-secrets or add the key manually via
hermes config set.

* fix(security): block sandbox backend creds from subprocess env (#1264)
Add Modal and Daytona sandbox credentials to the subprocess env
blocklist so they're not leaked to agent terminal sessions via
printenv/env.

* fix(gateway): cap interrupt recursion depth to prevent resource exhaustion (#816)
When a user sends multiple messages while the agent keeps failing,
_run_agent() calls itself recursively with no depth limit. This can
exhaust stack/memory if the agent is in a failure loop.
Add _MAX_INTERRUPT_DEPTH = 3. When exceeded, the pending message is
logged and the current result is returned instead of recursing deeper.
The log handler duplication bug described in #816 was already fixed
separately (AIAgent.__init__ deduplicates handlers).
* fix(gateway): /model shows active fallback model instead of config default (#1615)
When the agent falls back to a different model (e.g. due to rate
limiting), /model still showed the config default. Now tracks the
effective model/provider after each agent run and displays it.
Cleared when the primary model succeeds again or the user explicitly
switches via /model.
Cherry-picked from PR #1616 by MaxKerkula. Added hasattr guard for
test compatibility.

* fix: prevent infinite 400 failure loop on context overflow (#1630)
When a gateway session exceeds the model's context window, Anthropic may
return a generic 400 invalid_request_error with just 'Error' as the
message. This bypassed the phrase-based context-length detection,
causing the agent to treat it as a non-retryable client error. Worse,
the failed user message was still persisted to the transcript, making
the session even larger on each attempt — creating an infinite loop.
Three-layer fix:
1. run_agent.py — Fallback heuristic: when a 400 error has a very short
generic message AND the session is large (>40% of context or >80
messages), treat it as a probable context overflow and trigger
compression instead of aborting.
2. run_agent.py + gateway/run.py — Don't persist failed messages:
when the agent returns failed=True before generating any response,
skip writing the user's message to the transcript/DB. This prevents
the session from growing on each failure.
3. gateway/run.py — Smarter error messages: detect context-overflow
failures and suggest /compact or /reset specifically, instead of a
generic 'try again' that will fail identically.
* fix(skills): detect prompt injection patterns and block cache file reads
Adds two security layers to prevent prompt injection via skills hub
cache files (#1558):
1. read_file: blocks direct reads of ~/.hermes/skills/.hub/ directory
(index-cache, catalog files). The 3.5MB clawhub_catalog_v1.json
was the original injection vector — untrusted skill descriptions
in the catalog contained adversarial text that the model executed.
2. skill_view: warns when skills are loaded from outside the trusted
~/.hermes/skills/ directory, and detects common injection patterns
in skill content ("ignore previous instructions", "<system>", etc.).

* refactor: centralize slash command registry
Replace 7+ scattered command definition sites with a single
CommandDef registry in hermes_cli/commands.py. All downstream
consumers now derive from this registry:
- CLI process_command() resolves aliases via resolve_command()
- Gateway _known_commands uses GATEWAY_KNOWN_COMMANDS frozenset
- Gateway help text generated by gateway_help_lines()
- Telegram BotCommands generated by telegram_bot_commands()
- Slack subcommand map generated by slack_subcommand_map()
Adding a command or alias is now a one-line change to
COMMAND_REGISTRY instead of touching 6+ files.
Bugfixes included:
- Telegram now registers /rollback, /background (were missing)
- Slack now has /voice, /update, /reload-mcp (were missing)
- Gateway duplicate 'reasoning' dispatch (dead code) removed
- Gateway help text can no longer drift from CLI help
Backwards-compatible: COMMANDS and COMMANDS_BY_CATEGORY dicts are
rebuilt from the registry, so existing imports work unchanged.
* docs: update developer docs for centralized command registry
Update AGENTS.md with full 'Slash Command Registry' and 'Adding a
Slash Command' sections covering CommandDef fields, registry helpers,
and the one-line alias workflow.
Also update:
- CONTRIBUTING.md: commands.py description
- website/docs/reference/slash-commands.md: reference central registry
- docs/plans/centralize-command-registry.md: mark COMPLETED
- plans/checkpoint-rollback.md: reference new pattern
- hermes-agent-dev skill: architecture table
* chore: remove stale plan docs
* feat: add optional smart model routing
Add a conservative cheap-vs-strong routing option that can send very short/simple turns to a cheaper model across providers while keeping the primary model for complex work. Wire it through CLI, gateway, and cron, and document the config.yaml workflow.
* fix(gateway): remove recursive ExecStop from systemd units, extend TimeoutStopSec to 60s
* fix(gateway): avoid recursive ExecStop in user systemd unit
* fix: extend ExecStop removal and TimeoutStopSec=60 to system unit
The cherry-picked PR #1448 fix only covered the user systemd unit.
The system unit had the same TimeoutStopSec=15 and could benefit
from the same 60s timeout for clean shutdown. Also adds a regression
test for the system unit.

* feat(skills): add blender-mcp optional skill for 3D modeling
Control a running Blender instance from Hermes via socket connection
to the blender-mcp addon (port 9876). Supports creating 3D objects,
materials, animations, and running arbitrary bpy code.
Placed in optional-skills/ since it requires Blender 4.3+ desktop
with a third-party addon manually started each session.
* feat(acp): support slash commands in ACP adapter (#1532)
Adds /help, /model, /tools, /context, /reset, /compact, /version
to the ACP adapter (VS Code, Zed, JetBrains). Commands are handled
directly in the server without instantiating the TUI — each command
queries agent/session state and returns plain text.
Unrecognized /commands fall through to the LLM as normal messages.
/model uses detect_provider_for_model() for auto-detection when
switching models, matching the CLI and gateway behavior.
Fixes#1402
* fix(logging): improve error logging in session search tool (#1533)
* fix(gateway): restart on retryable startup failures (#1517)
* feat(email): add skip_attachments option via config.yaml
* feat(email): add skip_attachments option via config.yaml
Adds a config.yaml-driven option to skip email attachments in the
gateway email adapter. Useful for malware protection and bandwidth
savings.
Configure in config.yaml:
platforms:
email:
skip_attachments: true
Based on PR #1521 by @an420eth, changed from env var to config.yaml
(via PlatformConfig.extra) to match the project's config-first pattern.
* docs: document skip_attachments option for email adapter
* fix(telegram): retry on transient TLS failures during connect and send
Add exponential-backoff retry (3 attempts) around initialize() to
handle transient TLS resets during gateway startup. Also catches
TimedOut and OSError in addition to NetworkError.
Add exponential-backoff retry (3 attempts) around send_message() for
NetworkError during message delivery, wrapping the existing Markdown
fallback logic.
Both imports are guarded with try/except ImportError for test
environments where telegram is mocked.
Based on PR #1527 by cmd8. Closes#1526.
* feat: permissive block_anchor thresholds and unicode normalization (#1539)
Salvaged from PR #1528 by an420eth. Closes#517.
Improves _strategy_block_anchor in fuzzy_match.py:
- Add unicode normalization (smart quotes, em/en-dashes, ellipsis,
non-breaking spaces → ASCII) so LLM-produced unicode artifacts
don't break anchor line matching
- Lower thresholds: 0.10 for unique matches (was 0.70), 0.30 for
multiple candidates — if first/last lines match exactly, the
block is almost certainly correct
- Use original (non-normalized) content for offset calculation to
preserve correct character positions
Tested: 3 new scenarios fixed (em-dash anchors, non-breaking space
anchors, very-low-similarity unique matches), zero regressions on
all 9 existing fuzzy match tests.

* feat(cli): add file path autocomplete in the input prompt (#1545)
When typing a path-like token (./ ../ ~/ / or containing /),
the CLI now shows filesystem completions in the dropdown menu.
Directories show a trailing slash and 'dir' label; files show
their size. Completions are case-insensitive and capped at 30
entries.
Triggered by tokens like:
edit ./src/ma → shows ./src/main.py, ./src/manifest.json, ...
check ~/doc → shows ~/docs/, ~/documents/, ...
read /etc/hos → shows /etc/hosts, /etc/hostname, ...
open tools/reg → shows tools/registry.py
Slash command autocomplete (/help, /model, etc.) is unaffected —
it still triggers when the input starts with /.
Inspired by OpenCode PR #145 (file path completion menu).
Implementation:
- hermes_cli/commands.py: _extract_path_word() detects path-like
tokens, _path_completions() yields filesystem Completions with
size labels, get_completions() routes to paths vs slash commands
- tests/hermes_cli/test_path_completion.py: 26 tests covering
path extraction, prefix filtering, directory markers, home
expansion, case-insensitivity, integration with slash commands
* feat(privacy): redact PII from LLM context when privacy.redact_pii is enabled
Add privacy.redact_pii config option (boolean, default false). When
enabled, the gateway redacts personally identifiable information from
the system prompt before sending it to the LLM provider:
- Phone numbers (user IDs on WhatsApp/Signal) → hashed to user_<sha256>
- User IDs → hashed to user_<sha256>
- Chat IDs → numeric portion hashed, platform prefix preserved
- Home channel IDs → hashed
- Names/usernames → NOT affected (user-chosen, publicly visible)
Hashes are deterministic (same user → same hash) so the model can
still distinguish users in group chats. Routing and delivery use
the original values internally — redaction only affects LLM context.
Inspired by OpenClaw PR #47959.
* fix(privacy): skip PII redaction on Discord/Slack (mentions need real IDs)
Discord uses <@user_id> for mentions and Slack uses <@U12345> — the LLM
needs the real ID to tag users. Redaction now only applies to WhatsApp,
Signal, and Telegram where IDs are pure routing metadata.
Add 4 platform-specific tests covering Discord, WhatsApp, Signal, Slack.
* feat: smart approvals + /stop command (inspired by OpenAI Codex)
* feat: smart approvals — LLM-based risk assessment for dangerous commands
Adds a 'smart' approval mode that uses the auxiliary LLM to assess
whether a flagged command is genuinely dangerous or a false positive,
auto-approving low-risk commands without prompting the user.
Inspired by OpenAI Codex's Smart Approvals guardian subagent
(openai/codex#13860).
Config (config.yaml):
approvals:
mode: manual # manual (default), smart, off
Modes:
- manual — current behavior, always prompt the user
- smart — aux LLM evaluates risk: APPROVE (auto-allow), DENY (block),
or ESCALATE (fall through to manual prompt)
- off — skip all approval prompts (equivalent to --yolo)
When smart mode auto-approves, the pattern gets session-level approval
so subsequent uses of the same pattern don't trigger another LLM call.
When it denies, the command is blocked without user prompt. When
uncertain, it escalates to the normal manual approval flow.
The LLM prompt is carefully scoped: it sees only the command text and
the flagged reason, assesses actual risk vs false positive, and returns
a single-word verdict.
* feat: make smart approval model configurable via config.yaml
Adds auxiliary.approval section to config.yaml with the same
provider/model/base_url/api_key pattern as other aux tasks (vision,
web_extract, compression, etc.).
Config:
auxiliary:
approval:
provider: auto
model: '' # fast/cheap model recommended
base_url: ''
api_key: ''
Bridged to env vars in both CLI and gateway paths so the aux client
picks them up automatically.
* feat: add /stop command to kill all background processes
Adds a /stop slash command that kills all running background processes
at once. Currently users have to process(list) then process(kill) for
each one individually.
Inspired by OpenAI Codex's separation of interrupt (Ctrl+C stops current
turn) from /stop (cleans up background processes). See openai/codex#14602.
Ctrl+C continues to only interrupt the active agent turn — background
dev servers, watchers, etc. are preserved. /stop is the explicit way
to clean them all up.
* feat: first-class plugin architecture + hide status bar cost by default (#1544)
The persistent status bar now shows context %, token counts, and
duration but NOT $ cost by default. Cost display is opt-in via:
display:
show_cost: true
in config.yaml, or: hermes config set display.show_cost true
The /usage command still shows full cost breakdown since the user
explicitly asked for it — this only affects the always-visible bar.
Status bar without cost:
⚕ claude-sonnet-4 │ 12K/200K │ 6% │ 15m
Status bar with show_cost: true:
⚕ claude-sonnet-4 │ 12K/200K │ 6% │ $0.06 │ 15m
* feat: improve memory prioritization + aggressive skill updates (inspired by OpenAI Codex)
* feat: improve memory prioritization — user preferences over procedural knowledge
Inspired by OpenAI Codex's memory prompt improvements (openai/codex#14493)
which focus memory writes on user preferences and recurring patterns
rather than procedural task details.
Key insight: 'Optimize for reducing future user steering — the most
valuable memory prevents the user from having to repeat themselves.'
Changes:
- MEMORY_GUIDANCE (prompt_builder.py): added prioritization hierarchy
and the core principle about reducing user steering
- MEMORY_SCHEMA (memory_tool.py): reordered WHEN TO SAVE list to put
corrections first, added explicit PRIORITY guidance
- Memory nudge (run_agent.py): now asks specifically about preferences,
corrections, and workflow patterns instead of generic 'anything'
- Memory flush (run_agent.py): now instructs to prioritize user
preferences and corrections over task-specific details
* feat: more aggressive skill creation and update prompting
Press harder on skill updates — the agent should proactively patch
skills when it encounters issues during use, not wait to be asked.
Changes:
- SKILLS_GUIDANCE: 'consider saving' → 'save'; added explicit instruction
to patch skills immediately when found outdated/wrong
- Skills header: added instruction to update loaded skills before finishing
if they had missing steps or wrong commands
- Skill nudge: more assertive ('save the approach' not 'consider saving'),
now also prompts for updating existing skills used in the task
- Skill nudge interval: lowered default from 15 to 10 iterations
- skill_manage schema: added 'patch it immediately' to update triggers
* feat: first-class plugin architecture (#1555)
Plugin system for extending Hermes with custom tools, hooks, and
integrations — no source code changes required.
Core system (hermes_cli/plugins.py):
- Plugin discovery from ~/.hermes/plugins/, .hermes/plugins/, and
pip entry_points (hermes_agent.plugins group)
- PluginContext with register_tool() and register_hook()
- 6 lifecycle hooks: pre/post tool_call, pre/post llm_call,
on_session_start/end
- Namespace package handling for relative imports in plugins
- Graceful error isolation — broken plugins never crash the agent
Integration (model_tools.py):
- Plugin discovery runs after built-in + MCP tools
- Plugin tools bypass toolset filter via get_plugin_tool_names()
- Pre/post tool call hooks fire in handle_function_call()
CLI:
- /plugins command shows loaded plugins, tool counts, status
- Added to COMMANDS dict for autocomplete
Docs:
- Getting started guide (build-a-hermes-plugin.md) — full tutorial
building a calculator plugin step by step
- Reference page (features/plugins.md) — quick overview + tables
- Covers: file structure, schemas, handlers, hooks, data files,
bundled skills, env var gating, pip distribution, common mistakes
Tests: 16 tests covering discovery, loading, hooks, tool visibility.
* feat: add /bg as alias for /background slash command
Adds /bg alias across CLI, gateway, and Slack platform adapter.
Updates help text, autocomplete, known_commands set, and dispatch
logic. Includes tests for the new alias.
* docs: add plan for centralized slash command registry
Scopes a refactor to replace 7+ scattered command definition sites
with a single CommandDef registry in hermes_cli/commands.py. Includes
derived helper functions for gateway help text, Telegram BotCommands,
Slack subcommand maps, and alias resolution.
Documents current drift (Telegram missing /rollback + /background,
Slack missing /voice + /update, gateway dead code) that the refactor
fixes for free.

- 429 rate limit and 529 overloaded were incorrectly treated as
non-retryable client errors, causing immediate failure instead of
exponential backoff retry. Users hitting Anthropic rate limits got
silent failures or no response at all.
- Generic "Sorry, I encountered an unexpected error" now includes
error type, details, and status-specific hints (auth, rate limit,
overloaded).
- Failed agent with final_response=None now surfaces the actual
error message instead of returning an empty response.
