Prevent gateway.platforms.discord from crashing at import time when discord.py is unavailable. Python 3.11 eagerly evaluates annotations, so using discord.Interaction and similar annotations caused an AttributeError after the optional import fallback set discord=None. Add postponed annotation evaluation and a regression test covering import without discord installed.
- Use imap.uid() for search and fetch instead of imap.search/fetch.
Sequence numbers shift when messages are deleted, causing the adapter
to skip new messages or reprocess old ones. UIDs are stable.
- Pass ssl.create_default_context() to starttls() so the server
certificate is actually verified. Without it smtplib uses
ssl._create_stdlib_context() which skips verification.
1. Anthropic + ElevenLabs TTS silence: forward full response to TTS
callback for non-streaming providers (choices first, then native
content blocks fallback).
2. Subprocess timeout kill: play_audio_file now kills the process on
TimeoutExpired instead of leaving zombie processes.
3. Discord disconnect cleanup: leave all voice channels before closing
the client to prevent leaked state.
4. Audio stream leak: close InputStream if stream.start() fails.
5. Race condition: read/write _on_silence_stop under lock in audio
callback thread.
6. _vprint force=True: show API error, retry, and truncation messages
even during streaming TTS.
7. _refresh_level lock: read _voice_recording under _voice_lock.
1. Gate _streaming_api_call to chat_completions mode only — Anthropic and
Codex fall back to _interruptible_api_call. Preserve Anthropic base_url
across all client rebuild paths (interrupt, fallback, 401 refresh).
2. Discord VC synthetic events now use chat_type="channel" instead of
defaulting to "dm" — prevents session bleed into DM context.
Authorization runs before echoing transcript. Sanitize @everyone/@here
in voice transcripts.
3. CLI voice prefix ("[Voice input...]") is now API-call-local only —
stripped from returned history so it never persists to session DB or
resumed sessions.
4. /voice off now disables base adapter auto-TTS via _auto_tts_disabled_chats
set — voice input no longer triggers TTS when voice mode is off.
Remove web UI gateway (web.py, tests, docs, toolset, env vars, Platform.WEB
enum) per maintainer request — Nous is building their own official chat UI.
Fix 1: Replace sd.wait() with polling pattern in play_audio_file() to prevent
indefinite hang when audio device stalls (consistent with play_beep()).
Fix 2: Use importlib.util.find_spec() for faster_whisper/openai availability
checks instead of module-level imports that trigger heavy native library
loading (CUDA/cuDNN) at import time.
Fix 3: Remove inspect.signature() hack in _send_voice_reply() — add **kwargs
to Telegram send_voice() so all adapters accept metadata uniformly.
Fix 4: Make session loading resilient to removed platform enum values — skip
entries with unknown platforms instead of crashing the entire gateway.
- web.py: pass stt_model from config like discord.py and run.py do
- run.py: match new error messages (No STT provider / not set)
- _transcribe_local: add missing "provider": "local" to return dict
- Change RTP packet logging from INFO to DEBUG level to reduce noise
(SPEAKING events remain at INFO as they are important lifecycle events)
- Use per-session chat_id (web_{session_id}) instead of shared "web"
to isolate conversation context between simultaneous web users
When bound to 127.0.0.1, only show localhost URL instead of listing
unreachable network interfaces. Add hint about WEB_UI_HOST=0.0.0.0
for phone/tablet access. Add VPN/multi-interface and token exposure
tests (11 new tests).
Only print the access token when auto-generated (user needs it to
log in). When set via WEB_UI_TOKEN env var, just confirm it is set
without exposing the value in console output.
- Use hmac.compare_digest for timing-safe token comparison (3 endpoints)
- Default bind to 127.0.0.1 instead of 0.0.0.0
- Sanitize upload filenames with Path.name to prevent path traversal
- Add DOMPurify to sanitize marked.parse() output against XSS
- Replace add_static with authenticated media handler
- Hide token in group chats for /remote-control command
- Use ctypes.util.find_library for Opus instead of hardcoded paths
- Add force=True to 5 interrupt _vprint calls for visibility
- Log Opus decode errors and voice restart failures instead of swallowing
Duplicated YAML config parsing for stt.model existed in gateway/run.py
and gateway/platforms/discord.py. Moved to a single helper in
transcription_tools.py and added 5 tests covering all edge cases.
Code fixes:
- STT model, Groq base URL, and OpenAI STT base URL are now
configurable via env vars (STT_GROQ_MODEL, STT_OPENAI_MODEL,
GROQ_BASE_URL, STT_OPENAI_BASE_URL) instead of hardcoded
- Gateway and Discord VC now read stt.model from config.yaml
(previously only CLI did this — gateway always used defaults)
Doc fixes:
- voice-mode.md: move Web UI troubleshooting to web.md (was duplicated)
- voice-mode.md: simplify "How It Works" for end users (remove NaCl,
DAVE, RTP internals)
- voice-mode.md: clarify STT priority (OpenAI used first if both keys
set, Groq recommended for free tier)
- voice-mode.md: document new STT env overrides in config reference
- web.md: remove duplicate Quick Start / Step 1-3 sections
- web.md: add mobile HTTPS mic workarounds (moved from voice-mode.md)
- web.md: clarify STT fallback order
1. VoiceReceiver.stop() now acquires _lock before clearing shared state
to prevent race with _on_packet on the socket reader thread
2. _packet_debug_count moved from class-level to instance-level to avoid
cross-instance race condition in multi-guild setups
3. play_in_voice_channel uses asyncio.get_running_loop() instead of
deprecated asyncio.get_event_loop()
4. _send_voice_reply uses uuid for filenames instead of time-based names
that can collide when two replies happen in the same second
5. Voice timeout now notifies runner via _on_voice_disconnect callback
so runner cleans up _voice_mode state (prevents orphaned TTS replies)
6. play_in_voice_channel adds PLAYBACK_TIMEOUT (120s) to prevent
infinite blocking when FFmpeg callback is never called
7. _send_voice_reply moves temp file cleanup to finally block so files
are always cleaned up even when send_voice/play raises
8. Base adapter auto-TTS wraps play_tts in try/finally with os.remove
to clean up generated audio files after playback
18 new tests (120 total voice tests)
- Add lock protection around VoiceReceiver buffer writes in _on_packet
to prevent race condition with check_silence on different threads
- Wire _voice_input_callback BEFORE join_voice_channel to avoid
losing voice input during the join window
- Add try/except around leave_voice_channel to ensure state cleanup
(voice_mode, callback) even if leave raises an exception
- Guard against empty text after markdown stripping in base.py auto-TTS
- Add 11 tests proving each bug and verifying the fix
Mobile browsers require HTTPS for navigator.mediaDevices API.
Instead of hiding the mic button (confusing UX), show it as dimmed
and display an informative message when tapped explaining the HTTPS
requirement.
Override play_tts in DiscordAdapter to no-op when connected to a voice
channel for the same guild. The gateway runner already plays TTS audio
in the VC via play_in_voice_channel, so the base adapter's fallback
to send_voice (file attachment) was causing double audio output.
play_tts base class forwards metadata via **kwargs to send_voice,
but Discord and Slack adapters did not accept extra keyword arguments,
causing TypeError and silent message handling failure.
Also fix test_web_defaults to patch correct env var (WEB_UI_TOKEN).
- Voice mode: press mic once to enter, press again to exit
- VAD (Voice Activity Detection) auto-stops recording after 1.5s silence
- Continuous loop: speak → transcribe → agent responds → TTS plays → auto-listen
- Voice mode UI: input bar hides, large mic button centered
- Auto-restart listening when TTS playback finishes
- Fallback: restart listening on text response if no TTS arrives
- Auto-TTS: voice messages get spoken response (audio first, then text)
- STT: Groq Whisper fallback when VOICE_TOOLS_OPENAI_KEY not set
- Futuristic UI: glassmorphism, centered container, purple theme, glow effects
- Voice bubble: custom waveform player with seek and progress
- Invisible TTS playback via play_tts() method (no audio file in chat)
- Add hermes-web toolset with full tool access
- Register Platform.WEB in toolset/config maps
- Update docs for voice conversation feature
Detect all network interfaces instead of relying on UDP trick which
returns VPN IP. Prefers 192.168.x.x/10.x.x.x over VPN ranges.
Shows all available IPs in console output.
New platform adapter that serves a full-featured chat interface via HTTP.
Enables access from any device on the network (phone, tablet, desktop).
Features:
- aiohttp server with WebSocket real-time messaging
- Token-based authentication
- Markdown rendering (marked.js) + code highlighting (highlight.js)
- Voice recording via MediaRecorder API + STT transcription
- Image, voice, and document display
- Typing indicator + message editing (streaming support)
- Mobile responsive dark theme
- Auto-reconnect on disconnect
- Media file cleanup (24h TTL)
Config: WEB_UI_ENABLED=true, WEB_UI_PORT=8765, WEB_UI_TOKEN=<token>
No new dependencies — uses aiohttp already in [messaging] extra.
Phase 2 of voice channel support: bot listens to users speaking in VC,
transcribes speech via Groq Whisper, and processes through the agent pipeline.
- Add VoiceReceiver class for RTP packet capture, NaCl/DAVE decryption, Opus decode
- Add silence detection and per-user PCM buffering
- Wire voice input callback from adapter to GatewayRunner
- Fix adapter dict key: use Platform.DISCORD enum instead of string
- Fix guild_id extraction for synthetic voice events via SimpleNamespace raw_message
- Pause/resume receiver during TTS playback to prevent echo
- Send Discord voice messages with flags=8192 and waveform metadata
so they render as native voice bubbles instead of file attachments
- Use .mp3 output path for TTS so edge-tts opus conversion works
correctly (edge always outputs mp3, convert was skipped for .ogg)
- Use actual file_path from TTS result after potential opus conversion
- Register /voice as Discord slash command with mode choices
- Fix _send_voice_reply to handle adapters that don't accept metadata
parameter (Discord) by inspecting the method signature at runtime
- /voice on: reply with voice when user sends voice messages
- /voice tts: reply with voice to all messages
- /voice off: disable, text-only replies
- /voice status: show current mode
- Per-chat state persisted to gateway_voice_mode.json
- Dedup: skips auto-reply if agent already called text_to_speech tool
- drop_pending_updates=True to ignore stale Telegram messages on restart
- 25 tests covering command handler, reply logic, and edge cases
- prevent raw MEDIA tag leakage outside the gateway pipeline
- make extract_media handle quoted/backticked paths and optional whitespace
- send Telegram media natively with explicit error/warning handling
- add regression tests for Telegram media dispatch and MEDIA parsing
The send_message tool's _send_telegram() sent MEDIA:<path> tags as
literal text instead of delivering actual files. This fixes it by
extracting MEDIA tags via BasePlatformAdapter.extract_media() and
routing files to the appropriate Telegram Bot API method by extension.
Changes:
- send_message_tool: extract MEDIA tags and send files natively as
photo/video/voice/audio/document based on file extension
- send_message_tool: add per-file error handling and missing-file logging
- send_message_tool: use cleaned text in fallback to avoid leaking tags
- base.py extract_media: handle optional space after MEDIA: colon
- base.py extract_media: strip surrounding backticks/quotes from paths

Add a /reasoning command across gateway adapters so users can
inspect or change reasoning effort without editing config by hand.
Reload reasoning settings from config.yaml before each agent run,
including background tasks, so the next message picks up the new
value consistently.
Users sometimes paste Discord IDs with prefixes like 'user:123456',
'<@123456>', or '<@!123456>' from Discord's UI or third-party tools.
This caused auth failures since the allowlist contained 'user:123' but
the actual user_id from messages was just '123'.
Fixes:
- Added _clean_discord_id() helper in discord.py to strip common prefixes
- Applied sanitization at runtime when parsing DISCORD_ALLOWED_USERS env var
- Applied sanitization in hermes setup and hermes gateway setup input flows
- Handles user:, <@>, and <@!> prefix formats
- Add /thread slash command that creates a Discord thread and starts a
new Hermes session in it. The starter message (if provided) becomes
the first user input in the new session.
- Add discord.auto_thread config option (DISCORD_AUTO_THREAD env var):
when enabled, every message in a text channel automatically creates
a thread, allowing parallel isolated sessions.
- Fix Discord media method signatures to accept metadata kwarg
(send_voice, send_image_file, send_image) — prevents TypeError
when the base adapter passes platform metadata.
- Fix test mock isolation: add app_commands and ForumChannel to
discord mocks so tests pass in full-suite runs.
Based on PRs #866 and #1109 by insecurejezza, modified per review:
removed /channel command (unsafe), added auto_thread feature,
made /thread dispatch new sessions.

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.
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)

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.
- 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
Three bugs fixed in the Slack adapter:
1. Tool progress messages leaked to main channel instead of thread.
Root cause: metadata key mismatch — gateway uses 'thread_id' but
Slack adapter checked for 'thread_ts'. Added _resolve_thread_ts()
helper that checks both keys with correct precedence.
2. Bot responses could escape threads for replies.
Root cause: reply_to was set to the child message's ts, but Slack
API needs the parent message's ts for thread_ts. Now metadata
thread_id (always the parent ts) takes priority over reply_to.
3. All Slack DMs shared one session key ('agent:main:slack:dm'),
so a long-running task blocked all other DM conversations.
Fix: DMs with thread_id now get per-thread session keys. Top-level
DMs still share one session for conversation continuity.
Additional fix: All Slack media methods (send_image, send_voice,
send_video, send_document, send_image_file) now accept metadata
parameter for thread routing. Previously they only accepted reply_to,
which caused media to silently fail to post in threads.
Session key behavior after this change:
- Slack channel @mention: creates thread, thread = session
- Slack thread reply: stays in thread, same session
- Slack DM (top-level): one continuous session
- Slack DM (threaded): per-thread session
- Other platforms: unchanged
- Forum parent channel IDs now match free-response list (add a forum
channel ID and all its threads respond without mention)
- Better thread chat names: 'Guild / forum / thread' for forum threads
- Add discord.require_mention and discord.free_response_channels to
config.yaml (bridged to env vars, env vars still override)
- Keep require_mention defaulting to true (safe for shared servers)

Allow users to interact with Hermes by sending and receiving emails.
Uses IMAP polling for incoming messages and SMTP for replies with
proper threading (In-Reply-To, References headers).
Integrates with all 14 gateway extension points: config, adapter
factory, authorization, send_message tool, cron delivery, toolsets,
prompt hints, channel directory, setup wizard, status display, and
env example.
65 tests covering config, parsing, dispatch, threading, IMAP fetch,
SMTP send, attachments, and all integration points.
Replaces all ad-hoc print() calls in the Slack gateway adapter with
proper logging.getLogger(__name__) calls, matching the pattern already
used by every other platform adapter (telegram, discord, whatsapp,
signal, homeassistant).
Changes:
- Add import logging + module-level logger
- Use logger.error for failures, logger.warning for non-critical
fallbacks, logger.info for status, logger.debug for routine ops
- Add exc_info=True for full stack traces on all error/warning paths
- Use %s format strings (lazy evaluation) instead of f-strings
- Wrap disconnect() in try/except for safety
- Add structured context (file paths, channel IDs, URLs) to log messages
- Convert document handling prints added after the original PR

The MEDIA routing in _process_message_background passes
metadata=_thread_metadata to send_video, send_document, and
send_image_file — but none accepted it, causing TypeError silently
caught by the except handler. Files just failed to send.
Fix: add **kwargs to all four base class media methods and their
Telegram overrides.
