Salvaged from PR #1104 by kshitijk4poor. Closes#683.
Adds a persistent status bar to the CLI showing model name, context
window usage with visual bar, estimated cost, and session duration.
Responsive layout degrades gracefully for narrow terminals.
Changes:
- agent/usage_pricing.py: shared pricing table, cost estimation with
Decimal arithmetic, duration/token formatting helpers
- agent/insights.py: refactored to reuse usage_pricing (eliminates
duplicate pricing table and formatting logic)
- cli.py: status bar with FormattedTextControl fragments, color-coded
context thresholds (green/yellow/orange/red), enhanced /usage with
cost breakdown, 1Hz idle refresh for status bar updates
- tests/test_cli_status_bar.py: status bar snapshot, width collapsing,
usage report with/without pricing, zero-priced model handling
- tests/test_insights.py: verify zero-priced providers show as unknown
Salvage fixes:
- Resolved conflict with voice status bar (both coexist in layout)
- Import _format_context_length from hermes_cli.banner (moved since PR)

When typing /model deepseek-chat while on a different provider, the
model name now auto-resolves to the correct provider instead of
silently staying on the wrong one and causing API errors.
Detection priority:
1. Direct provider with credentials (e.g. DEEPSEEK_API_KEY set)
2. OpenRouter catalog match with proper slug remapping
3. Direct provider without creds (clear error beats silent failure)
Also adds DeepSeek as a first-class API-key provider — just set
DEEPSEEK_API_KEY and /model deepseek-chat routes directly.
Bare model names get remapped to proper OpenRouter slugs:
/model gpt-5.4 → openai/gpt-5.4
/model claude-opus-4.6 → anthropic/claude-opus-4.6
Salvages the concept from PR #1177 by @virtaava with credential
awareness and OpenRouter slug mapping added.

Core fix: Honcho tool calls in a multi-session gateway could route to
the wrong session because honcho_tools.py relied on process-global
state. Now threads session context through the call chain:
AIAgent._invoke_tool() → handle_function_call() → registry.dispatch()
→ handler **kw → _resolve_session_context()
Changes:
- Add _resolve_session_context() to prefer per-call context over globals
- Plumb honcho_manager + honcho_session_key through handle_function_call
- Add sync_honcho=False to run_conversation() for synthetic flush turns
- Pass honcho_session_key through gateway memory flush lifecycle
- Harden gateway PID detection when /proc cmdline is unreadable
- Make interrupt test scripts import-safe for pytest-xdist
- Wrap BibTeX examples in Jekyll raw blocks for docs build
- Fix thread-order-dependent assertion in client lifecycle test
- Expand Honcho docs: session isolation, lifecycle, routing internals
Dropped from original PR:
- Indentation change in _create_request_openai_client that would move
client creation inside the lock (causes unnecessary contention)

Token usage was tracked in-memory during CLI sessions (session_prompt_tokens,
session_completion_tokens) but never written to the SQLite session DB. The
gateway persisted tokens via session_store.update_session(), but CLI sessions
always showed 0 tokens in /insights.
Now run_agent.py persists token deltas to the DB after each API call for CLI
sessions. Gateway sessions continue to use their existing persist path to
avoid double-counting.
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.
Include participant identifiers in non-DM session keys when available so group and channel conversations no longer share one transcript across every active user in the chat.
Add _ensure_ssl_certs() that discovers CA certificate bundles before any
HTTP library is imported. Resolution order:
1. Python's ssl.get_default_verify_paths()
2. certifi (if installed)
3. Common distro/macOS paths
Only sets SSL_CERT_FILE if not already present in the environment.
Wrapped in a function (called immediately) to avoid polluting module
namespace.

Background process progress/completion messages were sent with only
chat_id, landing in the general topic instead of the originating forum
topic. Thread the thread_id from HERMES_SESSION_THREAD_ID through the
watcher payload and pass it as metadata to adapter.send() so Telegram
routes notifications to the correct topic.
The env var export (HERMES_SESSION_THREAD_ID in _set_session_env /
_clear_session_env) already existed on main — this commit adds the
missing watcher plumbing.

Restore local STT command fallback for voice transcription, detect whisper and ffmpeg in common local install paths, and avoid bogus no-provider messaging when only a backend-specific key is missing.
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.

* fix(agent): skip reasoning extra_body for models that don't support it
Sending reasoning config to models like MiniMax or Nvidia via OpenRouter
causes a 400 BadRequestError. Previously, reasoning extra_body was sent
to all OpenRouter and Nous models unconditionally.
Fix: only send reasoning extra_body when the model slug starts with a
known reasoning-capable prefix (deepseek/, anthropic/, openai/, x-ai/,
google/gemini-2, qwen/qwen3) or when using Nous Portal directly.
Applies to both the main API call path (_build_api_kwargs) and the
conversation summary path.

- Add 'emoji' field to ToolEntry and 'get_emoji()' to ToolRegistry
- Add emoji= to all 50+ registry.register() calls across tool files
- Add get_tool_emoji() helper in agent/display.py with 3-tier resolution:
skin override → registry default → hardcoded fallback
- Replace hardcoded emoji maps in run_agent.py, delegate_tool.py, and
gateway/run.py with centralized get_tool_emoji() calls
- Add 'tool_emojis' field to SkinConfig so skins can override per-tool
emojis (e.g. ares skin could use swords instead of wrenches)
- Add 11 tests (5 registry emoji, 6 display/skin integration)
- Update AGENTS.md skin docs table
Based on the approach from PR #1061 by ForgingAlex (emoji centralization
in registry). This salvage fixes several issues from the original:
- Does NOT split the cronjob tool (which would crash on missing schemas)
- Does NOT change image_generate toolset/requires_env/is_async
- Does NOT delete existing tests
- Completes the centralization (gateway/run.py was missed)
- Hooks into the skin system for full customizability
SSH persistent shell now defaults to true — non-local backends benefit
most from state persistence across execute() calls. Local backend
remains opt-in via TERMINAL_LOCAL_PERSISTENT env var.
New config.yaml option: terminal.persistent_shell (default: true)
Controls the default for non-local backends. Users can disable with:
hermes config set terminal.persistent_shell false
Precedence: per-backend env var > TERMINAL_PERSISTENT_SHELL > default.
Wired through cli.py, gateway/run.py, and hermes_cli/config.py so the
config.yaml value reaches terminal_tool via env var bridge.
* fix(cli): silence tirith prefetch install warnings at startup
* fix: verbose mode now shows full untruncated tool args, results, content, and think blocks
When tool progress is set to 'verbose' (via /verbose or config), the display
was still truncating tool arguments to 100 chars, tool results to 100-200 chars,
assistant content to 100 chars, and think blocks to 5 lines. This defeated the
purpose of verbose mode.
Changes:
- Tool args: show full JSON args (not truncated to log_prefix_chars)
- Tool results: show full result content in both display and debug logs
- Assistant content: show full content during tool-call loops
- Think blocks: show full reasoning text (not truncated to 5 lines/100 chars)
- Auto-enable reasoning display when verbose mode is active
- Fix initial agent creation to respect verbose config (was always quiet_mode=True)
- Updated verbose label to mention think blocks
The seed_ai_identity method was calling assistant_peer.add_message() which
doesn't exist on the Honcho SDK's Peer class. Fixed to use the correct
pattern: session.add_messages([peer.message(content)]), matching the
existing message sync code at line 294.

Fixes#1036
After adding an MCP server to config.yaml, users had to restart Hermes
before the new tools became visible — even though /reload-mcp existed.
Add _check_config_mcp_changes() called from process_loop every 5s:
- stat() config.yaml for mtime changes (fast path, no YAML parse)
- On mtime change, parse and compare mcp_servers section
- If mcp_servers changed, auto-trigger _reload_mcp() and notify user
- Skip check while agent is running to avoid interrupting tool calls
- Throttled to CONFIG_WATCH_INTERVAL=5s to avoid busy-polling
/reload-mcp still works for manual force-reload.
Tests: 6 new tests in TestMCPConfigWatch, all passed

Restore the existing vLLM integration test module that was accidentally replaced during development and add a focused agent-loop regression test for dict tool-call arguments from OpenAI-compatible local backends.
Normalize tool call arguments when OpenAI-compatible backends return parsed dict/list payloads instead of JSON strings. This prevents the .strip() crash during tool-call validation for llama.cpp and similar servers, while preserving existing empty-string and invalid-JSON handling. Adds a focused regression test for dict arguments in the agent loop.
Two changes to align Discord behavior with Slack:
1. Auto-thread on @mention (default: true)
- When someone @mentions the bot in a server channel, a thread is
automatically created from their message and the response goes there.
- Each thread gets its own isolated session (like Slack).
- Configurable via discord.auto_thread in config.yaml (default: true)
or DISCORD_AUTO_THREAD env var (env takes precedence).
- DMs and existing threads are unaffected.
2. Skip @mention in bot-participated threads
- Once the bot has responded in a thread (auto-created or manually
entered), subsequent messages in that thread no longer require
@mention. Users can just type normally.
- Tracked via in-memory set (_bot_participated_threads). After a
gateway restart, users need to @mention once to re-establish.
- Threads the bot hasn't participated in still require @mention.
Config change:
discord:
auto_thread: true # new, added to DEFAULT_CONFIG
Tests: 7 new tests covering auto-thread default, disable, bot thread
participation tracking, and mention skip logic. All 903 gateway tests pass.
When a cronjob is created from within a Telegram or Slack thread,
deliver=origin was posting to the parent channel instead of the thread.
Root cause: the gateway never set HERMES_SESSION_THREAD_ID in the
session environment, so cronjob_tools.py could not capture thread_id
into the job's origin metadata — even though the scheduler already
reads origin.get('thread_id').
Fix:
- gateway/run.py: set HERMES_SESSION_THREAD_ID when thread_id is
present on the session context, and clear it in _clear_session_env
- tools/cronjob_tools.py: read HERMES_SESSION_THREAD_ID into origin
Closes#1219
Hermes startup entrypoints now load ~/.hermes/.env and project fallback env files with user config taking precedence over stale shell-exported values. This makes model/provider/base URL changes in .env actually take effect after restarting Hermes. Adds a shared env loader plus regression coverage, and reproduces the original bug case where OPENAI_BASE_URL and HERMES_INFERENCE_PROVIDER remained stuck on old shell values before import.
* docs: comprehensive fallback providers documentation
- New dedicated page: user-guide/features/fallback-providers.md covering
both primary model fallback and auxiliary task fallback systems
- Updated configuration.md with fallback_model config section
- Updated environment-variables.md noting fallback is config-only
- Fleshed out developer-guide/provider-runtime.md fallback section with
internal architecture details (trigger points, activation flow, config flow)
- Added cross-reference from provider-routing.md distinguishing OpenRouter
sub-provider routing from Hermes-level model fallback
- Added new page to sidebar under Integrations
* docs: comprehensive /background command documentation
- Added Background Sessions section to cli.md covering how it works
(daemon threads, isolated sessions, config inheritance, Rich panel
output, bell notification, concurrent tasks)
- Added Background Sessions section to messaging/index.md covering
messaging-specific behavior (async execution, result delivery back
to same chat, fire-and-forget pattern)
- Documented background_process_notifications config
(all/result/error/off) in messaging docs and configuration.md
- Added HERMES_BACKGROUND_NOTIFICATIONS env var to reference page
- Fixed inconsistency in slash-commands.md: /background was listed as
messaging-only but works in both CLI and messaging. Moved it to the
'both surfaces' note.
- Expanded one-liner table descriptions with detail and cross-references
Add an explicit messaging-extra install hint to the missing PyNaCl/davey error path, cover it with a voice-channel join regression test, and skip the low-level NaCl packet tests when PyNaCl is not installed locally.
Checks the full voice environment and reports what's missing:
- Python packages: discord.py, PyNaCl, davey, STT/TTS providers
- System tools: Opus codec (macOS + Linux paths), ffmpeg
- Environment: bot token, allowed users (resolved to usernames), API keys
- Configuration: STT/TTS provider, voice mode state
- Bot permissions: live Discord API check for Connect, Speak, VAD, etc.
All sensitive values are masked. Gracefully handles missing deps,
invalid tokens, API timeouts, and unreachable Discord API.
