Introduced a new command "/compress" to the CLI, allowing users to manually trigger context compression on the current conversation. The method checks for sufficient conversation history and active agent status before performing compression, providing feedback on the number of messages and tokens before and after the operation. Updated command documentation accordingly.
Two fixes to the subagent progress display from PR #186:
1. Task index prefix: show 1-indexed prefix ([1], [2], ...) for ALL
tasks in batch mode (task_count > 1). Single tasks get no prefix.
Previously task 0 had no prefix while others did, making batch
output confusing.
2. Completion indicator: use spinner.print_above() instead of raw
print() for per-task completion lines (✓ [1/2] ...). Raw print
collided with the active spinner, mushing the completion text
onto the spinner line. Now prints cleanly above.
Added task_count parameter to _build_child_progress_callback and
_run_single_child. Updated tests accordingly.
print_above() used \033[K (erase-to-end-of-line) to clear the spinner
line before printing text above it. This causes garbled escape codes when
prompt_toolkit's patch_stdout is active in CLI mode.
Switched to the same spaces-based clearing approach used by stop() —
overwrite with blanks, then carriage return back to start of line.
Updated test assertion to match the new clearing method.
When subagents run via delegate_task, the user now sees real-time
progress instead of silence:
CLI: tree-view activity lines print above the delegation spinner

Gateway (Telegram/Discord): batched progress summaries sent every
5 tool calls to avoid message spam. Remaining tools flushed on
subagent completion.
Changes:
- agent/display.py: add KawaiiSpinner.print_above() to print
status lines above an active spinner without disrupting animation.
Uses captured stdout (self._out) so it works inside the child's
redirect_stdout(devnull).
- tools/delegate_tool.py: add _build_child_progress_callback()
that creates a per-child callback relaying tool calls and
thinking events to the parent's spinner (CLI) or progress
queue (gateway). Each child gets its own callback instance,
so parallel subagents don't share state. Includes _flush()
for gateway batch completion.
- run_agent.py: fire tool_progress_callback with '_thinking'
event when the model produces text content. Guarded by
_delegate_depth > 0 so only subagents fire this (prevents
gateway spam from main agent). REASONING_SCRATCHPAD/think/
reasoning XML tags are stripped before display.
Tests: 21 new tests covering print_above, callback builder,
thinking relay, SCRATCHPAD filtering, batching, flush, thread
isolation, delegate_depth guard, and prefix handling.
- Introduce a new test suite in `test_file_tools_live.py` to validate file operations and ensure accurate command execution in a real environment.
- Implement assertions to check for shell noise contamination in outputs, enhancing the reliability of command results.
- Create fixtures for setting up a local environment and populating directories with known file contents for comprehensive testing.
- Refactor shell noise handling in `process_registry.py` and `local.py` to support multiple noise patterns, improving output cleanliness.
- Introduce a separate error log for capturing warnings and errors related to tool execution, ensuring detailed inspection of issues post-failure.
- Enhance error handling in the AIAgent class to log exceptions with stack traces for better debugging.
- Add a similar error logging mechanism in the gateway to streamline debugging processes.
- Implement logic to distinguish between "full" memory errors and actual failures in the `_detect_tool_failure` function.
- Add JSON parsing to identify specific error messages related to memory limits, improving error handling for memory-related tools.
- Introduce a new test suite for the `redact_sensitive_text` function, covering various sensitive data formats including API keys, tokens, and environment variables.
- Ensure that sensitive information is properly masked in logs and outputs while non-sensitive data remains unchanged.
- Add tests for different scenarios including JSON fields, authorization headers, and environment variable assignments.
- Implement a redacting formatter for logging to enhance security during log output.
- Replace `hermes login` with `hermes model` for selecting providers and managing authentication.
- Update documentation and CLI commands to reflect the new provider selection process.
- Introduce a new redaction system for logging sensitive information.
- Enhance Codex model discovery by integrating API fetching and local cache.
- Adjust max turns configuration logic for better clarity and precedence.
- Improve error handling and user feedback during authentication processes.
- Enhanced Codex model discovery by fetching available models from the API, with fallback to local cache and defaults.
- Updated the context compressor's summary target tokens to 2500 for improved performance.
- Added external credential detection for Codex CLI to streamline authentication.
- Refactored various components to ensure consistent handling of authentication and model selection across the application.
Add a new hooks system allowing users to run custom code at key lifecycle points in the agent's operation. This includes support for events such as `gateway:startup`, `session:start`, `agent:step`, and more. Documentation for creating hooks and available events has been added to `README.md` and a new `hooks.md` file. Additionally, integrate step callbacks in the agent to facilitate hook execution during tool-calling iterations.
Refactor the extraction of MEDIA paths to collect them from the history before processing the current turn's messages. This change ensures that MEDIA tags are deduplicated based on previously seen paths, preventing TTS voice messages from being re-attached in subsequent replies. This addresses the issue outlined in #160.
Fixes#160
The issue was that MEDIA tags were being extracted from ALL messages
in the conversation history, not just messages from the current turn.
This caused TTS voice messages generated in earlier turns to be
re-attached to every subsequent reply.
The fix:
- Track history_len before calling run_conversation
- Only scan messages AFTER history_len for MEDIA tags
- Add comprehensive tests to prevent regression
This ensures each voice message is sent exactly once, when it's
generated, not on every subsequent message in the session.
Fixes#149
The _strip_think_blocks() method existed but was not applied to the
final_response in the normal completion path. This caused <think>...</think>
XML tags to leak into user-facing responses on all platforms (CLI, Telegram,
Discord, Slack, WhatsApp).
Changes:
- Strip think blocks from final_response before returning in normal path (line ~2600)
- Strip think blocks from fallback content when salvaging from prior tool_calls turn
Notes:
- The raw content with think blocks is preserved in messages[] for trajectory
export - this only affects the user-facing final_response
- The _has_content_after_think_block() check still uses raw content before
stripping, which is correct for detecting think-only responses
