- Fix Gemini streaming tool call merge bug: multiple tool calls with same
index but different IDs are now parsed as separate calls instead of
concatenating names (e.g. ha_call_serviceha_call_service)
- Handle partial results in voice mode: show error and stop continuous
mode when agent returns partial/failed results with empty response
- Fix error display during streaming TTS: error messages are shown in
full response box even when streaming box was already opened
- Add duplicate sentence filter in TTS: skip near-duplicate sentences
from LLM repetition
- Fix fake HA server state mutation: turn_on/turn_off/set_temperature
correctly update entity states; temperature sensor simulates change
when thermostat is adjusted
- Atomic check-and-set for _voice_recording flag with _voice_lock
- Guard _voice_stop_and_transcribe against concurrent invocation
- Remove premature flag clearing from Ctrl+R handler
- Clean up temp WAV files in finally block (_play_via_tempfile)
- Use buffer-level regex for <think> block filtering (handles chunked tags)
- Prevent /voice on prompt accumulation on repeated calls
- Include Groq in STT key error message
Move screen output from stream_callback to display_callback called by
TTS consumer thread. Text now appears sentence-by-sentence in sync with
audio instead of streaming ahead at LLM speed. Removes quiet_mode hack.
sounddevice raises OSError (not ImportError) when the PortAudio C
library is missing. This broke test collection on CI runners that
have the Python package installed but lack the native library.
Stream audio to speaker as the agent generates tokens instead of
waiting for the full response. First sentence plays within ~1-2s
of agent starting to respond.
- run_agent: add stream_callback to run_conversation/chat, streaming
path in _interruptible_api_call accumulates chunks into mock
ChatCompletion while forwarding content deltas to callback
- tts_tool: add stream_tts_to_speaker() with sentence buffering,
think block filtering, markdown stripping, ElevenLabs pcm_24000
streaming to sounddevice OutputStream
- cli: wire up streaming TTS pipeline in chat(), detect elevenlabs
provider + sounddevice availability, skip batch TTS when streaming
is active, signal stop on interrupt
Falls back to batch TTS for Edge/OpenAI providers or when
elevenlabs/sounddevice are not available. Zero impact on non-voice
mode (callback defaults to None).
- Removed fallback to OPENAI_API_KEY in favor of exclusively using VOICE_TOOLS_OPENAI_KEY for improved clarity and consistency.
- Updated environment variable checks to ensure only VOICE_TOOLS_OPENAI_KEY is considered, enhancing error handling and messaging.
- Introduced a new static method `_clean_session_content` in the `AIAgent` class to convert REASONING_SCRATCHPAD tags to <think> blocks and clean up whitespace in session logs.
- Updated the `_save_session_log` method to utilize the cleaned content for assistant messages, ensuring consistency in session logs.
- Changed the default output directory for TTS audio files from `~/voice-memos` to `~/.hermes/audio_cache`, reflecting a more appropriate storage location.
- Updated the README to include new badges, a detailed description of the Hermes Agent, and a table summarizing its features, improving clarity and presentation for users.
- Modified the API client initialization in `transcription_tools.py` and `tts_tool.py` to include a base URL, ensuring compatibility with the OpenAI API.
- Updated the environment variable name from HERMES_OPENAI_API_KEY to VOICE_TOOLS_OPENAI_KEY across multiple files to avoid interference with OpenRouter.
- Adjusted related error messages and configuration prompts to reflect the new variable name, ensuring consistency throughout the codebase.
- Updated various modules including cli.py, run_agent.py, gateway, and tools to replace silent exception handling with structured logging.
- Improved error messages to provide more context, aiding in debugging and monitoring.
- Ensured consistent logging practices throughout the codebase, enhancing traceability and maintainability.
- Introduced logging functionality in cli.py, run_agent.py, scheduler.py, and various tool modules to replace print statements with structured logging.
- Enhanced error handling and informational messages to improve debugging and monitoring capabilities.
- Ensured consistent logging practices across the codebase, facilitating better traceability and maintenance.
- Added detection of the platform from the environment variable to determine the appropriate audio output format.
- Implemented logic to output Opus (.ogg) files for Telegram when using compatible TTS providers, while defaulting to MP3 for others.
