* 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

save_job_output() used bare open('w') which truncates the output file
immediately. A crash or OOM kill between truncation and the completed
write would silently wipe the job output.
Write now goes to a temp file first, then os.replace() swaps it
atomically — matching the existing save_jobs() pattern in the same file.
Preserves _secure_file() permissions and uses safe cleanup on error.
Cherry-picked from PR #874 by alireza78a, rebased onto current main
with conflict resolution and fixes:
- Kept _secure_dir/_secure_file security calls from PR #757
- Used except BaseException (not bare except) to match save_jobs pattern
- Wrapped os.unlink in try/except OSError to avoid masking errors

Terminal subprocesses inherit OPENAI_BASE_URL and other provider env
vars loaded from ~/.hermes/.env, silently misrouting external CLIs
like codex. Build a blocklist dynamically from the provider registry
so new providers are automatically covered. Callers that truly need
a blocked var can opt in via the _HERMES_FORCE_ prefix.

Session hygiene was firing at the same threshold (50%) as the agent's
own context compressor, causing premature compression on every turn
in long gateway sessions (especially Telegram).
Hygiene is a safety net for pathologically large sessions that would
cause API failures — it should NOT be doing normal compression work.
The agent's own compressor handles that during its tool loop with
accurate real token counts from the API.
Changes:
- Default hygiene threshold: 0.50 → 0.85 (fires only when truly large)
- Hygiene threshold is now independent of compression.threshold config
(that setting controls the agent's compressor, not the pre-agent safety net)
- Removed env var override for hygiene threshold (CONTEXT_COMPRESSION_THRESHOLD
still controls the agent's own compressor)
Critical bug: when the agent's context compressor fires during a tool
loop (_compress_context), it creates a new session_id and writes the
compressed messages there. But the gateway's session_entry still pointed
to the old session_id. On the next message, load_transcript() loaded
the stale pre-compression transcript, causing:
- Context bloat returning every turn
- Repeated compression cycles
- Loss of carefully compressed context
Fix: after run_conversation() returns, check if the agent's session_id
changed (compression split) and sync it back to the session store entry.
Also pass the effective session_id in the result dict so _handle_message
writes transcript entries to the correct session.
This affects ALL gateway adapters, not just webhook.
The old message referenced 'hermes setup' which doesn't handle
skill-specific env vars. Updated to direct users to load the skill
in the local CLI (which triggers the secure prompt) or add the key
to ~/.hermes/.env manually.
When a skill declares required_environment_variables in its YAML
frontmatter, missing env vars trigger a secure TUI prompt (identical
to the sudo password widget) when the skill is loaded. Secrets flow
directly to ~/.hermes/.env, never entering LLM context.
Key changes:
- New required_environment_variables frontmatter field for skills
- Secure TUI widget (masked input, 120s timeout)
- Gateway safety: messaging platforms show local setup guidance
- Legacy prerequisites.env_vars normalized into new format
- Remote backend handling: conservative setup_needed=True
- Env var name validation, file permissions hardened to 0o600
- Redact patterns extended for secret-related JSON fields
- 12 existing skills updated with prerequisites declarations
- ~48 new tests covering skip, timeout, gateway, remote backends
- Dynamic panel widget sizing (fixes hardcoded width from original PR)

anthropic/claude-opus-4.6 (OpenRouter format) was being sent as
claude-opus-4.6 to the Anthropic API, which expects claude-opus-4-6
(hyphens, not dots).
normalize_model_name() now converts dots to hyphens after stripping
the provider prefix, matching Anthropic's naming convention.
Fixes 404: 'model: claude-opus-4.6 was not found'
When the model returns multiple tool calls in a single response, they are
now executed concurrently using a thread pool instead of sequentially.
This significantly reduces wall-clock time when multiple independent tools
are batched (e.g. parallel web_search, read_file, terminal calls).
Architecture:
- _execute_tool_calls() dispatches to sequential or concurrent path
- Single tool calls and batches containing 'clarify' use sequential path
- Multiple non-interactive tools use ThreadPoolExecutor (max 8 workers)
- Results are collected and appended to messages in original order
- _invoke_tool() extracted as shared tool invocation helper
Safety:
- Pre-flight interrupt check skips all tools if interrupted
- Per-tool exception handling: one failure doesn't crash the batch
- Result truncation (100k char limit) applied per tool
- Budget pressure injection after all tools complete
- Checkpoints taken before file-mutating tools
- CLI spinner shows batch progress, then per-tool completion messages
Tests: 10 new tests covering dispatch logic, ordering, error handling,
interrupt behavior, truncation, and _invoke_tool routing.
- Updated command output handling to use RichText for ANSI formatting.
- Improved response display in chat console with RichText integration.
- Ensured fallback for empty command outputs with a clear message.
Fixes Anthropic OAuth/subscription authentication end-to-end:
Auth failures (401 errors):
- Add missing 'claude-code-20250219' beta header for OAuth tokens. Both
clawdbot and OpenCode include this alongside 'oauth-2025-04-20' — without
it, Anthropic's API rejects OAuth tokens with 401 authentication errors.
- Fix _fetch_anthropic_models() to use canonical beta headers from
_COMMON_BETAS + _OAUTH_ONLY_BETAS instead of hardcoding.
Token refresh:
- Add _refresh_oauth_token() — when Claude Code credentials from
~/.claude/.credentials.json are expired but have a refresh token,
automatically POST to console.anthropic.com/v1/oauth/token to get
a new access token. Uses the same client_id as Claude Code / OpenCode.
- Add _write_claude_code_credentials() — writes refreshed tokens back
to ~/.claude/.credentials.json, preserving other fields.
- resolve_anthropic_token() now auto-refreshes expired tokens before
returning None.
Config contamination:
- Anthropic's _model_flow_anthropic() no longer saves base_url to config.
Since resolve_runtime_provider() always hardcodes Anthropic's URL, the
stale base_url was contaminating other providers when users switched
without re-running 'hermes model' (e.g., Codex hitting api.anthropic.com).
- _update_config_for_provider() now pops base_url when passed empty string.
- Same fix in setup.py.
Flow/UX (hermes model command):
- CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN env var now checked in credential detection
- Reauthentication option when existing credentials found
- run_oauth_setup_token() runs 'claude setup-token' as interactive
subprocess, then auto-detects saved credentials
- Clean has_creds/needs_auth flow in both main.py and setup.py
Tests (14 new):
- Beta header assertions for claude-code-20250219
- Token refresh: successful refresh with credential writeback, failed
refresh returns None, no refresh token returns None
- Credential writeback: new file creation, preserving existing fields
- Auto-refresh integration in resolve_anthropic_token()
- CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN fallback, credential file auto-discovery
- run_oauth_setup_token() (5 scenarios)
Haiku models don't support extended thinking at all. Without this
guard, claude-haiku-4-5-20251001 would receive type=enabled +
budget_tokens and return a 400 error.
Incorporates the fix from PR #1127 (by frizynn) on top of #1128's
adaptive thinking refactor.
Verified live with Claude Code OAuth:
claude-opus-4-6 → adaptive thinking ✓
claude-haiku-4-5 → no thinking params ✓
claude-sonnet-4 → enabled thinking ✓
Doctor-only override so honcho shows as available when configured,
even outside a live agent session. Runtime tool gate unchanged.

For Claude 4.6 models (Opus and Sonnet), the Anthropic API rejects
budget_tokens when thinking.type is 'adaptive'. This was causing a
400 error: 'thinking.adaptive.budget_tokens: Extra inputs are not
permitted'.
Changes:
- Send thinking: {type: 'adaptive'} without budget_tokens for 4.6
- Move effort control to output_config: {effort: ...} per Anthropic docs
- Map Hermes effort levels to Anthropic effort levels (xhigh->max, etc.)
- Narrow adaptive detection to 4.6 models only (4.5 still uses manual)
- Add tests for adaptive thinking on 4.6 and manual thinking on pre-4.6
Fixes#1126
When Anthropic returns 401 and credential refresh doesn't help,
now prints actionable troubleshooting info:
- Which auth method was used (Bearer vs x-api-key)
- Token prefix for debugging
- Common fixes (stale ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, verify key, refresh login)
- How to clear stale keys
Clean fix — removes dead code that crashed with NameError on is_coding_plan. The generic _setup_provider_model_selection() already handles all affected providers.
Remove 50 lines of unreachable duplicate model selection logic in
setup_model_provider() for zai/kimi-coding/minimax/minimax-cn providers.
The code referenced undefined `is_coding_plan` variable, crashing setup.
_setup_provider_model_selection() already handles these providers correctly
via _DEFAULT_PROVIDER_MODELS dict.
Fallback paths in send_image_file, send_video, and send_document called
super() without metadata, causing replies to appear outside the thread
when file upload fails. Use self.send() with metadata instead to preserve
thread_ts context.
- Pass self.max_tokens to build_anthropic_kwargs instead of hardcoded None
- Add anthropic case to _try_activate_fallback (was only handling openai-codex)
- Remove 'anthropic in base_url' filter that blocked custom proxy URLs
- Increase MAX_MESSAGE_LENGTH from 3,900 to 39,000 (Slack API allows 40k)
- Implement real typing indicator using assistant.threads.setStatus API
- Shows 'BotName is thinking...' next to the bot name in threads
- Auto-clears when the bot sends a reply
- Requires assistant:write or chat:write scope
- Falls back silently if scope unavailable (reactions still work)
- 4 new tests for typing indicator
The memory flush path extracted tool_calls from the response assuming
OpenAI format (response.choices[0].message.tool_calls). When using
the Anthropic client directly (aux unavailable), the response is an
Anthropic Message object which has no .choices attribute. Now uses
normalize_anthropic_response() to extract tool_calls correctly.
- quickstart.md: Add Anthropic to the provider comparison table
- configuration.md: Add Anthropic to provider list table, add full
'Anthropic (Native)' section with three auth methods (API key,
setup-token, Claude Code auto-detect), config.yaml example,
and provider alias tip
- environment-variables.md: Add ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, ANTHROPIC_TOKEN,
CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN to LLM Providers table; add 'anthropic'
to HERMES_INFERENCE_PROVIDER values list
Remaining issues from deep scan:
Adapter (agent/anthropic_adapter.py):
- Add _sanitize_tool_id() — Anthropic requires IDs matching [a-zA-Z0-9_-],
now strips invalid chars and ensures non-empty (both tool_use and tool_result)
- Empty tool result content → '(no output)' placeholder (Anthropic rejects empty)
- Set temperature=1 when thinking type='enabled' on older models (required)
- normalize_model_name now case-insensitive for 'Anthropic/' prefix
- Fix stale docstrings referencing only ~/.claude/.credentials.json
Agent loop (run_agent.py):
- Guard memory flush path (line ~2684) — was calling self.client.chat.completions
which is None in anthropic_messages mode. Now routes through Anthropic client.
- Guard summary generation path (line ~3171) — same crash when reaching
iteration limit. Now builds proper Anthropic kwargs and normalizes response.
- Guard retry summary path (line ~3200) — same fix for the summary retry loop.
All three self.client.chat.completions.create() calls outside the main
loop now have anthropic_messages branches to prevent NoneType crashes.
Fixes from comprehensive code review and cross-referencing with
clawdbot/OpenCode implementations:
CRITICAL:
- Add one-shot guard (anthropic_auth_retry_attempted) to prevent
infinite 401 retry loops when credentials keep changing
- Fix _is_oauth_token(): managed keys from ~/.claude.json are NOT
regular API keys (don't start with sk-ant-api). Inverted the logic:
only sk-ant-api* is treated as API key auth, everything else uses
Bearer auth + oauth beta headers
HIGH:
- Wrap json.loads(args) in try/except in message conversion — malformed
tool_call arguments no longer crash the entire conversation
- Raise AuthError in runtime_provider when no Anthropic token found
(was silently passing empty string, causing confusing API errors)
- Remove broken _try_anthropic() from auxiliary vision chain — the
centralized router creates an OpenAI client for api_key providers
which doesn't work with Anthropic's Messages API
MEDIUM:
- Handle empty assistant message content — Anthropic rejects empty
content blocks, now inserts '(empty)' placeholder
- Fix setup.py existing_key logic — set to 'KEEP' sentinel instead
of None to prevent falling through to the auth choice prompt
- Add debug logging to _fetch_anthropic_models on failure
Tests: 43 adapter tests (2 new for token detection), 3197 total passed
- Add _fetch_anthropic_models() to hermes_cli/models.py — hits the
Anthropic /v1/models endpoint to get the live model catalog. Handles
both API key and OAuth token auth headers.
- Wire it into provider_model_ids() so both 'hermes model' and
'hermes setup model' show the live list instead of a stale static one.
- Update static _PROVIDER_MODELS fallback with full current catalog:
opus-4-6, sonnet-4-6, opus-4-5, sonnet-4-5, opus-4, sonnet-4, haiku-4-5
- Update model_metadata.py with context lengths for all current models.
- Fix thinking parameter for 4.5+ models: use type='adaptive' instead
of type='enabled' (Anthropic deprecated 'enabled' for newer models,
warns at runtime). Detects model version from the model name string.
Verified live:
hermes model → Anthropic → auto-detected creds → shows 7 live models
hermes chat --provider anthropic --model claude-opus-4-6 → works
