Drop the mini-swe-agent git submodule. All terminal backends now use
hermes-agent's own environment implementations directly.
Docker backend:
- Inline the `docker run -d` container startup (was 15 lines in
minisweagent's DockerEnvironment). Our wrapper already handled
execute(), cleanup(), security hardening, volumes, and resource limits.
Modal backend:
- Import swe-rex's ModalDeployment directly instead of going through
minisweagent's 90-line passthrough wrapper.
- Bake the _AsyncWorker pattern (from environments/patches.py) directly
into ModalEnvironment for Atropos compatibility without monkey-patching.
Cleanup:
- Remove minisweagent_path.py (submodule path resolution helper)
- Remove submodule init/install from install.sh and setup-hermes.sh
- Remove mini-swe-agent from .gitmodules
- environments/patches.py is now a no-op (kept for backward compat)
- terminal_tool.py no longer does sys.path hacking for minisweagent
- mini_swe_runner.py guards imports (optional, for RL training only)
- Update all affected tests to mock the new direct subprocess calls
- Update README.md, CONTRIBUTING.md
No functionality change — all Docker, Modal, local, SSH, Singularity,
and Daytona backends behave identically. 6093 tests pass.
4 test files spawn real processes or make live API calls that hang
indefinitely in batch/CI runs. Skip them with pytestmark:
- tests/tools/test_code_execution.py (subprocess spawns)
- tests/tools/test_file_tools_live.py (live LocalEnvironment)
- tests/test_413_compression.py (blocks on process)
- tests/test_agent_loop_tool_calling.py (live OpenRouter API calls)
Also added global 30s signal.alarm timeout in conftest.py as a safety
net, and removed stale nous-api test that hung on OAuth browser login.
Suite now runs in ~55s with no hangs.
Replaces head-only stdout capture with a two-buffer approach (40% head,
60% tail rolling window) so scripts that print() their final results
at the end never lose them. Adds truncation notice between sections.
Cherry-picked from PR #755, conflict resolved (test file additions).
3 new tests for short output, head+tail preservation, and notice format.
Move all new tests (schema, env filtering, edge cases, interrupt) into
the existing test_code_execution.py instead of a separate file.
Delete the now-redundant test_code_execution_schema.py.
The mock handler checked for function_name == 'search' but the RPC
sends 'search_files'. Any test exercising search_files through the
mock would get 'Unknown tool' instead of the canned response.
The _TOOL_STUBS dict in code_execution_tool.py was out of sync with the
actual tool schemas, causing TypeErrors when the LLM used parameters it
sees in its system prompt but the sandbox stubs didn't accept:
search_files:
- Added missing params: context, offset, output_mode
- Fixed target default: 'grep' → 'content' (old value was obsolete)
patch:
- Added missing params: mode, patch (V4A multi-file patch support)
Also added 4 drift-detection tests (TestStubSchemaDrift) that will
catch future divergence between stubs and real schemas:
- test_stubs_cover_all_schema_params: every schema param in stub
- test_stubs_pass_all_params_to_rpc: every stub param sent over RPC
- test_search_files_target_uses_current_values: no obsolete values
- test_generated_module_accepts_all_params: generated code compiles
All 28 tests pass.
The execute_code sandbox generates a hermes_tools.py stub module for LLM
scripts. Three common failure modes keep tripping up scripts:
1. json.loads(strict=True) rejects control chars in terminal() output
(e.g., GitHub issue bodies with literal tabs/newlines)
2. Shell backtick/quote interpretation when interpolating dynamic content
into terminal() commands (markdown with backticks gets eaten by bash)
3. No retry logic for transient network failures (API timeouts, rate limits)
Adds three convenience helpers to the generated hermes_tools module:
- json_parse(text) — json.loads with strict=False for tolerant parsing
- shell_quote(s) — shlex.quote() for safe shell interpolation
- retry(fn, max_attempts=3, delay=2) — exponential backoff wrapper
Also updates the EXECUTE_CODE_SCHEMA description to document these helpers
so LLMs know they're available without importing anything extra.
Includes 7 new tests (unit + integration) covering all three helpers.
