Validate that the username portion of ~username paths contains only
valid characters (alphanumeric, dot, hyphen, underscore) before passing
to shell echo for expansion. Previously, paths like '~; rm -rf /'
would be passed unquoted to self._exec(f'echo {path}'), allowing
arbitrary command execution.
The approach validates the username rather than using shlex.quote(),
which would prevent tilde expansion from working at all since
echo '~user' outputs the literal string instead of expanding it.
Added tests for injection blocking and valid ~username/path expansion.
Credit to @alireza78a for reporting (PR #442, issue #442).
Vision auto-mode previously only tried OpenRouter, Nous, and Codex
for multimodal — deliberately skipping custom endpoints with the
assumption they 'may not handle vision input.' This caused silent
failures for users running local multimodal models (Qwen-VL, LLaVA,
Pixtral, etc.) without any cloud API keys.
Now custom endpoints are tried as a last resort in auto mode. If the
model doesn't support vision, the API call fails gracefully — but
users with local vision models no longer need to manually set
auxiliary.vision.provider: main in config.yaml.

- Register no-op app_mention event handler to suppress Bolt 404 errors.
The 'message' handler already processes @mentions in channels, so
app_mention is acknowledged without duplicate processing.
- Add send_document() for native file attachments (PDFs, CSVs, etc.)
via files_upload_v2, matching the pattern from Telegram PR #779.
- Add send_video() for native video uploads via files_upload_v2.
- Handle incoming document attachments from users: download, cache,
and inject text content for .txt/.md files (capped at 100KB),
following the same pattern as the Telegram adapter.
- Add _download_slack_file_bytes() helper for raw byte downloads.
- Add 24 new tests covering all new functionality.
Fixes the unhandled app_mention events reported in gateway logs.
Add MCP sampling/createMessage capability via SamplingHandler class.
Text-only sampling + tool use in sampling with governance (rate limits,
model whitelist, token caps, tool loop limits). Per-server audit metrics.
Based on concept from PR #366 by eren-karakus0. Restructured as class-based
design with bug fixes and tests using real MCP SDK types.
50 new tests, 2600 total passing.
Two changes to prevent unnecessary Anthropic prompt cache misses in the
gateway, where a fresh AIAgent is created per user message:
1. Reuse stored system prompt for continuing sessions:
When conversation_history is non-empty, load the system prompt from
the session DB instead of rebuilding from disk. The model already has
updated memory in its conversation history (it wrote it!), so
re-reading memory from disk produces a different system prompt that
breaks the cache prefix.
2. Stabilize Honcho context per session:
- Only prefetch Honcho context on the first turn (empty history)
- Bake Honcho context into the cached system prompt and store to DB
- Remove the per-turn Honcho injection from the API call loop
This ensures the system message is identical across all turns in a
session. Previously, re-fetching Honcho could return different context
on each turn, changing the system message and invalidating the cache.
Both changes preserve the existing behavior for compression (which
invalidates the prompt and rebuilds from scratch) and for the CLI
(where the same AIAgent persists and the cached prompt is already
stable across turns).
Tests: 2556 passed (6 new)
Terminal output was already redacted via redact_sensitive_text() but
read_file and search_files returned raw content. Now both tools
redact secrets before returning results to the LLM.
Based on PR #372 by @teyrebaz33 (closes#363) — applied manually
due to branch conflicts with the current codebase.
The summary message was always injected as 'user' role, which causes
consecutive user messages when the last preserved head message is also
'user'. Some APIs reject this (400 error), and it produces malformed
training data.
Fix: check the role of the last head message and pick the opposite role
for the summary — 'user' after assistant/tool, 'assistant' after user.
Based on PR #328 by johnh4098. Closes#328.
Split fallback provider handling into two clean registries:
_FALLBACK_API_KEY_PROVIDERS — env-var-based (openrouter, zai, kimi, minimax)
_FALLBACK_OAUTH_PROVIDERS — OAuth-based (openai-codex, nous)
New _resolve_fallback_credentials() method handles all three cases
(OAuth, API key, custom endpoint) and returns a uniform (key, url, mode)
tuple. _try_activate_fallback() is now just validation + client build.
Adds Nous Portal as a fallback provider — uses the same OAuth flow
as the primary provider (hermes login), returns chat_completions mode.
OAuth providers get credential refresh for free: the existing 401
retry handlers (_try_refresh_codex/nous_client_credentials) check
self.provider, which is set correctly after fallback activation.
4 new tests (nous activation, nous no-login, codex retained).
27 total fallback tests passing, 2548 full suite.
Codex OAuth uses a different auth flow (OAuth tokens, not env vars)
and a different API mode (codex_responses, not chat_completions).
The fallback now handles this specially:
- Resolves credentials via resolve_codex_runtime_credentials()
- Sets api_mode to codex_responses
- Fails gracefully if no Codex OAuth session exists
Also added to the commented-out config.yaml example.
2 new tests (codex activation + graceful failure).
The gateway had a SEPARATE compression system ('session hygiene')
with hardcoded thresholds (100k tokens / 200 messages) that were
completely disconnected from the model's context length and the
user's compression config in config.yaml. This caused premature
auto-compression on Telegram/Discord — triggering at ~60k tokens
(from the 200-message threshold) or inconsistent token counts.
Changes:
- Gateway hygiene now reads model name from config.yaml and uses
get_model_context_length() to derive the actual context limit
- Compression threshold comes from compression.threshold in
config.yaml (default 0.85), same as the agent's ContextCompressor
- Removed the message-count-based trigger (was redundant and caused
false positives in tool-heavy sessions)
- Removed the undocumented session_hygiene config section — the
standard compression.* config now controls everything
- Env var overrides (CONTEXT_COMPRESSION_THRESHOLD,
CONTEXT_COMPRESSION_ENABLED) are respected
- Warn threshold is now 95% of model context (was hardcoded 200k)
- Updated tests to verify model-aware thresholds, scaling across
models, and that message count alone no longer triggers compression
For claude-opus-4.6 (200k context) at 85% threshold: gateway
hygiene now triggers at 170k tokens instead of the old 100k.
New browser capabilities and a built-in skill for agent-driven web QA.
## New tool: browser_console
Returns console messages (log/warn/error/info) AND uncaught JavaScript
exceptions in a single call. Uses agent-browser's 'console' and 'errors'
commands through the existing session plumbing. Supports --clear to reset
buffers. Verified working in both local and Browserbase cloud modes.
## Enhanced tool: browser_vision(annotate=True)
New boolean parameter on browser_vision. When true, agent-browser overlays
numbered [N] labels on interactive elements — each [N] maps to ref @eN.
Annotation data (element name, role, bounding box) returned alongside the
vision analysis. Useful for QA reports and spatial reasoning.
## Config: browser.record_sessions
Auto-record browser sessions as WebM video files when enabled:
- Starts recording on first browser_navigate
- Stops and saves on browser_close
- Saves to ~/.hermes/browser_recordings/
- Works in both local and cloud modes (verified)
- Disabled by default
## Built-in skill: dogfood
Systematic exploratory QA testing for web applications. Teaches the agent
a 5-phase workflow:
1. Plan — accept URL, create output dirs, set scope
2. Explore — systematic crawl with annotated screenshots
3. Collect Evidence — screenshots, console errors, JS exceptions
4. Categorize — severity (Critical/High/Medium/Low) and category
(Functional/Visual/Accessibility/Console/UX/Content)
5. Report — structured markdown with per-issue evidence
Includes:
- skills/dogfood/SKILL.md — full workflow instructions
- skills/dogfood/references/issue-taxonomy.md — severity/category defs
- skills/dogfood/templates/dogfood-report-template.md — report template
## Tests
21 new tests covering:
- browser_console message/error parsing, clear flag, empty/failed states
- browser_console schema registration
- browser_vision annotate schema and flag passing
- record_sessions config defaults and recording lifecycle
- Dogfood skill file existence and content validation
Addresses #315.
Remove hallucinated providers (openai, deepseek, together, groq,
fireworks, mistral, gemini, nous) from the fallback provider map.
These don't exist in hermes-agent's provider system.
The real supported providers for fallback are:
openrouter (OPENROUTER_API_KEY)
zai (ZAI_API_KEY)
kimi-coding (KIMI_API_KEY)
minimax (MINIMAX_API_KEY)
minimax-cn (MINIMAX_CN_API_KEY)
For any other OpenAI-compatible endpoint, users can use the
base_url + api_key_env overrides in the config.
Also adds Kimi User-Agent header for kimi fallback (matching
the main provider system).
When the primary model/provider fails after retries (rate limit, overload,
auth errors, connection failures), Hermes automatically switches to a
configured fallback model for the remainder of the session.
Config (in ~/.hermes/config.yaml):
fallback_model:
provider: openrouter
model: anthropic/claude-sonnet-4
Supports all major providers: OpenRouter, OpenAI, Nous, DeepSeek, Together,
Groq, Fireworks, Mistral, Gemini — plus custom endpoints via base_url and
api_key_env overrides.
Design principles:
- Dead simple: one fallback model, not a chain
- One-shot: switches once, doesn't ping-pong back
- Zero new dependencies: uses existing OpenAI client
- Minimal code: ~100 lines in run_agent.py, ~5 lines in cli.py/gateway
- Three trigger points: max retries exhausted, non-retryable client errors,
and invalid response exhaustion
Does NOT trigger on context overflow or payload-too-large errors (those
are handled by the existing compression system).
Addresses #737.
25 new tests, 2492 total passing.
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.

The 'openai' provider was redundant — using OPENAI_BASE_URL +
OPENAI_API_KEY with provider: 'main' already covers direct OpenAI API.
Provider options are now: auto, openrouter, nous, codex, main.
- Removed _try_openai(), _OPENAI_AUX_MODEL, _OPENAI_BASE_URL
- Replaced openai tests with codex provider tests
- Updated all docs to remove 'openai' option and clarify 'main'
- 'main' description now explicitly mentions it works with OpenAI API,
local models, and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint
Tests: 2467 passed.
The Codex Responses API (chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex) supports
vision via gpt-5.3-codex. This was verified with real API calls
using image analysis.
Changes to _CodexCompletionsAdapter:
- Added _convert_content_for_responses() to translate chat.completions
multimodal format to Responses API format:
- {type: 'text'} → {type: 'input_text'}
- {type: 'image_url', image_url: {url: '...'}} → {type: 'input_image', image_url: '...'}
- Fixed: removed 'stream' from resp_kwargs (responses.stream() handles it)
- Fixed: removed max_output_tokens and temperature (Codex endpoint rejects them)
Provider changes:
- Added 'codex' as explicit auxiliary provider option
- Vision auto-fallback now includes Codex (OpenRouter → Nous → Codex)
since gpt-5.3-codex supports multimodal input
- Updated docs with Codex OAuth examples
Tested with real Codex OAuth token + ~/.hermes/image2.png — confirmed
working end-to-end through the full adapter pipeline.
Tests: 2459 passed.
The Codex model normalization was rejecting any model without 'codex'
in its name, forcing a fallback to gpt-5.3-codex. This blocked models
like gpt-5.4 that the Codex API actually supports.
The fix simplifies _normalize_model_for_provider() to two operations:
1. Strip provider prefixes (API needs bare slugs)
2. Replace the *untouched default* model with a Codex-compatible one
If the user explicitly chose a model — any model — we trust them and
let the API be the judge. No allowlists, no slug checks.
Also removes the 'codex not in slug' filter from _read_cache_models()
so the local cache preserves all API-available models.
Inspired by OpenClaw's approach which explicitly lists non-codex models
(gpt-5.4, gpt-5.2) as valid Codex models.
Users can now set provider: "openai" for auxiliary tasks (vision, web
extract, compression) to use OpenAI's API directly with their
OPENAI_API_KEY. This hits api.openai.com/v1 with gpt-4o-mini as the
default model — supports vision since GPT-4o handles image input.
Provider options are now: auto, openrouter, nous, openai, main.
Changes:
- agent/auxiliary_client.py: added _try_openai(), "openai" case in
_resolve_forced_provider(), updated auxiliary_max_tokens_param()
to use max_completion_tokens for OpenAI
- Updated docs: cli-config.yaml.example, AGENTS.md, and user-facing
configuration.md with Common Setups section showing OpenAI,
OpenRouter, and local model examples
- 3 new tests for OpenAI provider resolution
Tests: 2459 passed (was 2429).
Improvements on top of PR #606 (auxiliary model configuration):
1. Gateway bridge: Added auxiliary.* and compression.summary_provider
config bridging to gateway/run.py so config.yaml settings work from
messaging platforms (not just CLI). Matches the pattern in cli.py.
2. Vision auto-fallback safety: In auto mode, vision now only tries
OpenRouter + Nous Portal (known multimodal-capable providers).
Custom endpoints, Codex, and API-key providers are skipped to avoid
confusing errors from providers that don't support vision input.
Explicit provider override (AUXILIARY_VISION_PROVIDER=main) still
allows using any provider.
3. Comprehensive tests (46 new):
- _get_auxiliary_provider env var resolution (8 tests)
- _resolve_forced_provider with all provider types (8 tests)
- Per-task provider routing integration (4 tests)
- Vision auto-fallback safety (7 tests)
- Config bridging logic (11 tests)
- Gateway/CLI bridge parity (2 tests)
- Vision model override via env var (2 tests)
- DEFAULT_CONFIG shape validation (4 tests)
4. Docs: Added auxiliary_client.py to AGENTS.md project structure.
Updated module docstring with separate text/vision resolution chains.
Tests: 2429 passed (was 2383).
- Added support for auxiliary model overrides in the configuration, allowing users to specify providers and models for vision and web extraction tasks.
- Updated the CLI configuration example to include new auxiliary model settings.
- Enhanced the environment variable mapping in the CLI to accommodate auxiliary model configurations.
- Improved the resolution logic for auxiliary clients to support task-specific provider overrides.
- Updated relevant documentation and comments for clarity on the new features and their usage.
Add contextual [Hint: ...] suffixes to tool results where they save
real iterations:
- patch (no match): suggests read_file/search_files to verify content
before retrying — addresses the common pattern where the agent retries
with stale old_string instead of re-reading the file.
- search_files (truncated): provides explicit next offset and suggests
narrowing the search — clearer than relying on total_count inference.
Other hints proposed in #722 (terminal, web_search, web_extract,
browser_snapshot, search zero-results, search content-matches) were
evaluated and found to be low-value: either already covered by existing
mechanisms (read_file pagination, similar-files, schema descriptions)
or guidance the agent already follows from its own reasoning.
5 new tests covering hint presence/absence for both tools.
When resuming a session via --continue or --resume, show a compact recap
of the previous conversation inside a Rich panel before the input prompt.
This gives users immediate visual context about what was discussed.
Changes:
- Add _preload_resumed_session() to load session history early (in run(),
before banner) so _init_agent() doesn't need a separate DB round-trip
- Add _display_resumed_history() that renders a formatted recap panel:
* User messages shown with gold bullet (truncated at 300 chars)
* Assistant responses shown with green diamond (truncated at 200 chars / 3 lines)
* Tool calls collapsed to count + tool names
* System messages and tool results hidden
* <REASONING_SCRATCHPAD> blocks stripped from display
* Pure-reasoning messages (no visible output) skipped entirely
* Capped at last 10 exchanges with 'N earlier messages' indicator
* Dim/muted styling distinguishes recap from active conversation
- Add display.resume_display config option: 'full' (default) or 'minimal'
- Store resume_display as instance variable (like compact) for testability
- 27 new tests covering all display scenarios, config, and edge cases
Closes#719
NOUS_API_KEY is unused — vision tools use OPENROUTER_API_KEY or Nous
Portal OAuth (auth.json), and MoA tools use OPENROUTER_API_KEY.
Removed from:
- hermes_cli/config.py: api_keys allowlist for config set routing
- .env.example: example env file entry and comment
- tests/hermes_cli/test_set_config_value.py: parametrize test data
- tests/integration/test_web_tools.py: updated comments and log
messages to reference 'auxiliary LLM provider' instead of NOUS_API_KEY
No HECATE references found in codebase (already cleaned up).
Add `hermes sessions browse` — a curses-based interactive session picker
with live type-to-search filtering, arrow key navigation, and seamless
session resume via Enter.
Features:
- Arrow keys to navigate, Enter to select and resume, Esc/q to quit
- Type characters to live-filter sessions by title, preview, source, or ID
- Backspace to edit filter, first Esc clears filter, second Esc exits
- Adaptive column layout (title/preview, last active, source, ID)
- Scrolling support for long session lists
- --source flag to filter by platform (cli, telegram, discord, etc.)
- --limit flag to control how many sessions to load (default: 50)
- Windows fallback: numbered list with input prompt
- After selection, seamlessly execs into `hermes --resume <id>`
Design decisions:
- Separate subcommand (not a flag on -c) — preserves `hermes -c` as-is
for instant most-recent-session resume
- Uses curses (not simple_term_menu) per Known Pitfalls to avoid the
arrow-key ghost-duplication rendering bug in tmux/iTerm
- Follows existing curses pattern from hermes_cli/tools_config.py
Also fixes: removed redundant `import os` inside cmd_sessions stats
block that shadowed the module-level import (would cause UnboundLocalError
if browse action was taken in the same function).
Tests: 33 new tests covering curses picker, fallback mode, filtering,
navigation, edge cases, and argument parser registration.
Verifies that setup.py imports the correct function name
(get_codex_model_ids) from codex_models.py. This would have caught
the ImportError bug before it reached users.
Source code (hermes_cli/clipboard.py):
- _convert_to_png() lost the file when both Pillow and ImageMagick were
unavailable: path.rename(tmp) moved the file to .bmp, then subprocess.run
raised FileNotFoundError, but the file was never renamed back. The final
fallback 'return path.exists()' returned False.
- Fix: restore the original file in both except handlers by renaming tmp
back to path when the original is missing.
Test (tests/tools/test_clipboard.py):
- test_file_still_usable_when_no_converter expected 'from PIL import Image'
to raise an Exception, but Pillow is installed so pytest.raises fired
'DID NOT RAISE'. The test also never called _convert_to_png().
- Fix: properly mock PIL unavailability via patch.dict(sys.modules),
actually call _convert_to_png(), and assert the correct result.
Messaging users can now switch back to previously-named sessions:
- /resume My Project — resolves the title (with auto-lineage) and
restores that session's conversation history
- /resume (no args) — lists recent titled sessions to choose from
Adds SessionStore.switch_session() which ends the current session and
points the session entry at the target session ID so the old transcript
is loaded on the next message. Running agents are cleared on switch.
Completes the session naming feature from PR #720 for gateway users.
8 new tests covering: name resolution, lineage auto-latest, already-on-
session check, nonexistent names, agent cleanup, no-DB fallback, and
listing titled sessions.
When _ensure_runtime_credentials() resolves the provider to openai-codex,
check if the active model is Codex-compatible. If not (e.g. the default
anthropic/claude-opus-4.6), swap it for the best available Codex model.
Also strips provider prefixes the Codex API rejects (openai/gpt-5.3-codex
→ gpt-5.3-codex).
Adds _model_is_default flag so warnings are only shown when the user
explicitly chose an incompatible model (not when it's the config default).
Fixes#651.

Previously, search_files would silently return 0 results when the
search path didn't exist (e.g., /root/.hermes/... when HOME is
/home/user). The path was passed to rg/grep/find which would fail
silently, and the empty stdout was parsed as 'no matches found'.
Changes:
- Add path existence check at the top of search() using test -e.
Returns SearchResult with a clear error message when path doesn't exist.
- Add exit code 2 checks in _search_with_rg() and _search_with_grep()
as secondary safety net for other error types (bad regex, permissions).
- Add 4 new tests covering: nonexistent path (content mode), nonexistent
path (files mode), existing path proceeds normally, rg error exit code.
Tests: 37 → 41 in test_file_operations.py, full suite 2330 passed.
- Empty string titles normalized to None (prevents uncaught IntegrityError
when two sessions both get empty-string titles via the unique index)
- Escape SQL LIKE wildcards (%, _) in resolve_session_by_title and
get_next_title_in_lineage to prevent false matches on titles like
'test_project' matching 'testXproject #2'
- Optimize list_sessions_rich from N+2 queries to a single query with
correlated subqueries (preview + last_active computed in SQL)
- Add /title slash command to gateway (Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp)
with set and show modes, uniqueness conflict handling
- Add /title to gateway /help text and _known_commands
- 12 new tests: empty string normalization, multi-empty-title safety,
SQL wildcard edge cases, gateway /title set/show/conflict/cross-platform
Call ensure_hub_dirs() at the start of hermes skills list so the\nSkills Hub directory structure is created before reading hub\nmetadata.\n\nAdd a regression test covering the empty-home path where\ndoctor recommends running the list command.\n\nRefs: #703
Images pasted in the CLI were embedded as raw base64 image_url content
parts in the conversation history, which only works with vision-capable
models. If the main model (e.g. Nous API) doesn't support vision, this
breaks the request and poisons all subsequent messages.
Now the CLI uses the same approach as the messaging gateway: images are
pre-processed through the auxiliary vision model (Gemini Flash via
OpenRouter or Nous Portal) and converted to text descriptions. The
local file path is included so the agent can re-examine via
vision_analyze if needed. Works with any model.
Fixes#638.
User messaging improvements:
- Rejection: '(>_<) Error: not a valid model' instead of '(^_^) Warning: Error:'
- Rejection: shows 'Model unchanged' + tip about /model and /provider
- Session-only: explains 'this session only' with reason and 'will revert on restart'
- Saved: clear '(saved to config)' confirmation
Docs updated:
- cli-commands.md, cli.md, messaging/index.md: /model now shows
provider:model syntax, /provider command added to tables
Test fixes: deduplicated test names, assertions match new messages.
/provider command (CLI + gateway):
Shows all providers with auth status (✓/✗), aliases, and active marker.
Users can now discover what provider names work with provider:model syntax.
Gateway bugs fixed:
- Config was saved even when validation.persist=False (told user 'session
only' but actually persisted the unvalidated model)
- HERMES_INFERENCE_PROVIDER env var not set on provider switch, causing
the switch to be silently overridden if that env var was already set
parse_model_input hardened:
- Colon only treated as provider delimiter if left side is a recognized
provider name or alias. 'anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet:beta' now passes
through as a model name instead of trying provider='anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet'.
- HTTP URLs, random colons no longer misinterpreted.
56 tests passing across model validation, CLI commands, and integration.
