_mute_post_response was set True whenever a turn had both content
and tool_calls, suppressing ALL subsequent _vprint output including
tool completion messages. This meant users only saw "preparing
search_files..." but never the result.
Now only mutes output when every tool in the batch is housekeeping
(memory, todo, skill_manage, session_search). Substantive tools
like search_files, read_file, write_file, terminal etc. keep their
completion messages visible.
Also fixes: run_conversation no longer raises on max retries
(returns graceful error dict instead), and cli.py wraps the agent
thread in try/except as a safety net.

The non-streaming API call path (_interruptible_api_call) had no
wall-clock timeout. When providers keep connections alive with SSE
keep-alive pings but never deliver a response, httpx's inactivity
timeout never fires and the call hangs indefinitely.
Subagents always used the non-streaming path because they have no
stream consumers (quiet_mode=True). This caused delegate_task to
hang for 40+ minutes in production.
The streaming path has two layers of protection:
- httpx read timeout (60s, HERMES_STREAM_READ_TIMEOUT)
- Stale stream detection (90s, HERMES_STREAM_STALE_TIMEOUT)
Both work because streaming sends chunks continuously — a 90-second
gap between chunks genuinely means the connection is broken, even for
reasoning models that take minutes to complete.
Now run_conversation() always prefers the streaming path. The streaming
method falls back to non-streaming automatically if the provider
doesn't support it. Stream delta callbacks are no-ops when no
consumers are registered, so there's no overhead for subagents.
Add _emit_status() helper that sends lifecycle notifications to both
CLI (via _vprint force=True) and gateway (via status_callback). No
retry, fallback, or compression path is silent anymore.
Pathways surfaced:
- General retry backoff: was logger-only, now shows countdown
- Provider fallback: changed raw print() to _emit_status for gateway
- Rate limit eager fallback: new notification before switching
- Empty/malformed response fallback: new notification
- Client error fallback: new notification with HTTP status
- Max retries fallback: new notification before attempting
- Max retries giving up: upgraded from _vprint to _emit_status
- Compression retry (413 + context overflow): upgraded to _emit_status
- Compression success + retry: upgraded to _emit_status (2 instances)
Three categories of cleanup, all zero-behavioral-change:
1. F-strings without placeholders (154 fixes across 29 files)
- Converted f'...' to '...' where no {expression} was present
- Heaviest files: run_agent.py (24), cli.py (20), honcho_integration/cli.py (34)
2. Simplify defensive patterns in run_agent.py
- Added explicit self._is_anthropic_oauth = False in __init__ (before
the api_mode branch that conditionally sets it)
- Replaced 7x getattr(self, '_is_anthropic_oauth', False) with direct
self._is_anthropic_oauth (attribute always initialized now)
- Added _is_openrouter_url() and _is_anthropic_url() helper methods
- Replaced 3 inline 'openrouter' in self._base_url_lower checks
3. Remove dead code in small files
- hermes_cli/claw.py: removed unused 'total' computation
- tools/fuzzy_match.py: removed unused strip_indent() function and
pattern_stripped variable
Full test suite: 6184 passed, 0 failures
E2E PTY: banner clean, tool calls work, zero garbled ANSI
run_conversation raised the raw exception after exhausting retries,
which crashed the background thread in cli.py (unhandled exception
in Thread). Now returns a proper error result dict with failed=True
and persists the session, matching the pattern used by other error
paths (invalid responses, empty content, etc.).
Also wraps cli.py's run_agent thread function in try/except as a
safety net against any future unhandled exceptions from
run_conversation.

Local models (Ollama, LM Studio) embed reasoning in <think> tags in
delta.content. During streaming, _stream_delta() already displays these
blocks. Then _build_assistant_message() extracts them again and fires
reasoning_callback, causing duplicate display.
Track whether reasoning came from structured fields (reasoning_content)
vs <think> tag extraction. Only fire the callback for <think>-extracted
reasoning when stream_delta_callback is NOT active. Structured reasoning
always fires regardless.
Salvaged from PR #2076 by dusterbloom (Fix A only — Fix B was already
covered by PR #3013's _current_reasoning_callback centralization).
Closes#2069.
Three problems with API error debugging:
1. Terminal showed str(error)[:200] — raw HTML gibberish for Cloudflare
502/503 pages instead of "502 Bad Gateway"
2. errors.log dumped the entire HTML page as unstructured text
3. _dump_api_request_debug was never called when retries exhausted,
only for non-retryable 4xx errors
Adds _summarize_api_error() that extracts <title> and Cloudflare Ray ID
from HTML error pages, and falls back to SDK error body messages. Now
the terminal shows clean one-liners like:
📝 Error: HTTP 502 — openrouter.ai | 502: Bad gateway — Ray 9e226...
Also calls _dump_api_request_debug on max_retries_exhausted so the full
request context is written to ~/.hermes/sessions/ for post-mortem.

When fallback activates (e.g. minimax → OpenRouter), self.provider,
self.base_url, self.api_mode, and self._client_kwargs were all updated
but self.api_key was not. delegate_tool.py reads parent_agent.api_key
to pass credentials to child agents, so subagents inherited the stale
pre-fallback key (e.g. a minimax key sent to OpenRouter), causing 401
Missing Authentication errors.
Add self.api_key = ... in both the anthropic_messages and
chat_completions branches of _try_activate_fallback().
reset_session_state() was missing two fields added after it was written:
- _user_turn_count: kept accumulating across sessions, affecting
flush_min_turns guard behavior
- context_compressor._previous_summary: old session's compression
summary leaked into new session's iterative compression
Cherry-picked from PR #2640 by dusterbloom. Closes#2635.
When an API call fails, the terminal output now includes the HTTP status
code in the header line and, for 400 errors, the response body from the
provider (truncated to 300 chars). Makes it much easier to diagnose
issues like invalid model names or malformed requests that were
previously hidden behind generic error messages.
Salvaged from PR #2646 by Mibayy. Fixes#2644.
When API calls fail with HTML error pages (e.g., CloudFlare errors), the CLI
was dumping raw HTML content to users like:
📝 Error: <!DOCTYPE html><!--[if lt IE 7]> <html class="no-js ie6...
This commit adds a _clean_error_message() utility method that:
- Detects HTML content and replaces with user-friendly message
- Collapses multiline errors to single line
- Truncates overly long errors (>150 chars)
- Preserves meaningful error text for regular errors
Applied to all user-facing error displays:
- API call failure messages (line 6314)
- Interrupt error responses (line 6324)
- Invalid response error messages (line 6000)
Before: 📝 Error: <!DOCTYPE html><!--[if lt IE 7]>...
After: 📝 Error: Service temporarily unavailable (HTML error page returned)
When context overflow triggers compression, the outer retry loop
restarts via continue without incrementing retry_count. If compression
reduces messages but not enough to fit the context window, this creates
an infinite loop burning API credits: API call → overflow → compress →
retry → overflow → compress → ...
Increment retry_count on compression restarts so the loop exits after
max_retries total attempts.
Cherry-picked from PR #2766 by dieutx.
Adds a wall-clock stale stream detector (HERMES_STREAM_STALE_TIMEOUT,
default 90s) that force-closes the httpx client when no real chunks
arrive, even if SSE keep-alive pings keep the socket alive. Works
with the existing streaming retry loop to recover via fresh connection.

Centralizes two widely-duplicated patterns into hermes_constants.py:
1. get_hermes_home() — Path resolution for ~/.hermes (HERMES_HOME env var)
- Was copy-pasted inline across 30+ files as:
Path(os.getenv("HERMES_HOME", Path.home() / ".hermes"))
- Now defined once in hermes_constants.py (zero-dependency module)
- hermes_cli/config.py re-exports it for backward compatibility
- Removed local wrapper functions in honcho_integration/client.py,
tools/website_policy.py, tools/tirith_security.py, hermes_cli/uninstall.py
2. parse_reasoning_effort() — Reasoning effort string validation
- Was copy-pasted in cli.py, gateway/run.py, cron/scheduler.py
- Same validation logic: check against (xhigh, high, medium, low, minimal, none)
- Now defined once in hermes_constants.py, called from all 3 locations
- Warning log for unknown values kept at call sites (context-specific)

Each subagent now gets its own IterationBudget instead of sharing the
parent's. The per-subagent cap is controlled by delegation.max_iterations
in config.yaml (default 50). Total iterations across parent + subagents
can exceed the parent's max_iterations, but the user retains control via
the config setting.
Previously, subagents shared the parent's budget, so three parallel
subagents configured for max_iterations=50 racing against a parent that
already used 60 of 90 would each only get ~10 iterations.
Inspired by PR #2928 (Bartok9) which identified the issue (#2873).
* fix(session): surface silent SessionDB failures that cause session data loss
SessionDB initialization and operation failures were logged at debug level
or silently swallowed, causing sessions to never be indexed in the FTS5
database. This made session_search unable to find affected conversations.
In practice, ~48% of sessions can be lost without any visible indication.
The JSON session files are still written (separate code path), but the
SQLite/FTS5 index gets nothing — making session_search return empty results
for affected sessions.
Changes:
- cli.py: Log warnings (not debug) when SessionDB init fails at both
__init__ and _start_session entry points
- run_agent.py: Log warnings on create_session, append_message, and
compression split failures
- run_agent.py: Set _session_db = None after create_session failure to
fail fast instead of silently dropping every message for the session
Root cause: When gateway restarts or DB lock contention occurs during
SessionDB() init, the exception is caught and swallowed. The agent
continues running normally — JSON session logs are written to disk —
but no messages reach the FTS5 index.
* fix: use module logger instead of root logging for SessionDB warnings
Follow-up to cherry-picked PR #2939 — the original used logging.warning()
(root logger) instead of logger.warning() (module logger) in the 5 new
warning calls. Module logger preserves the logger hierarchy and shows the
correct module name in log output.

feat: persist reasoning across gateway session turns (schema v6)
Tested against OpenAI Codex (direct), Anthropic (direct + OAI-compat), and OpenRouter → 6 backends. All reasoning field types (reasoning, reasoning_details, codex_reasoning_items) round-trip through the DB correctly.
* fix(run_agent): ensure _fire_first_delta() is called for tool generation events
Added calls to _fire_first_delta() in the AIAgent class to improve the handling of tool generation events, ensuring timely notifications during the processing of function calls and tool usage.
* fix(run_agent): improve timeout handling for chat completions
Enhanced the timeout configuration for chat completions in the AIAgent class by introducing customizable connection, read, and write timeouts using environment variables. This ensures more robust handling of API requests during streaming operations.
* fix(run_agent): reduce default stream read timeout for chat completions
Updated the default stream read timeout from 120 seconds to 60 seconds in the AIAgent class, enhancing the timeout configuration for chat completions. This change aims to improve responsiveness during streaming operations.
* fix(run_agent): enhance streaming error handling and retry logic
Improved the error handling and retry mechanism for streaming requests in the AIAgent class. Introduced a configurable maximum number of stream retries and refined the handling of transient network errors, allowing for retries with fresh connections. Non-transient errors now trigger a fallback to non-streaming only when appropriate, ensuring better resilience during API interactions.
* fix: skills-sh install fails for deeply nested repo structures
Skills in repos with deep directory nesting (e.g.
cli-tool/components/skills/development/senior-backend/) could not be
installed because the candidate path generation and shallow root-dir
scan never reached them.
Added GitHubSource._find_skill_in_repo_tree() which uses the GitHub
Trees API to recursively search the entire repo tree in a single API
call. This is used as a final fallback in
SkillsShSource._discover_identifier() when the standard candidate
paths and shallow scan both fail.
Fixes installation of skills from repos like davila7/claude-code-templates
where skills are nested 4+ levels deep.

* docs: unify hooks documentation — add plugin hooks to hooks page, add session:end event
The hooks page only documented gateway event hooks (HOOK.yaml system).
The plugins page listed plugin hooks (pre_tool_call, etc.) that weren't
referenced from the hooks page, which was confusing.
Changes:
- hooks.md: Add overview table showing both hook systems
- hooks.md: Add Plugin Hooks section with available hooks, callback
signatures, and example
- hooks.md: Add missing session:end gateway event (emitted but undocumented)
- hooks.md: Mark pre_llm_call, post_llm_call, on_session_start,
on_session_end as planned (defined in VALID_HOOKS but not yet invoked)
- hooks.md: Update info box to cross-reference plugin hooks
- hooks.md: Fix heading hierarchy (gateway content as subsections)
- plugins.md: Add cross-reference to hooks page for full details
- plugins.md: Mark planned hooks as (planned)
* feat(session_search): add recent sessions mode when query is omitted
When session_search is called without a query (or with an empty query),
it now returns metadata for the most recent sessions instead of erroring.
This lets the agent quickly see what was worked on recently without
needing specific keywords.
Returns for each session: session_id, title, source, started_at,
last_active, message_count, preview (first user message).
Zero LLM cost — pure DB query. Current session lineage and child
delegation sessions are excluded.
The agent can then keyword-search specific sessions if it needs
deeper context from any of them.
* docs: clarify two-mode behavior in session_search schema description
* fix(compression): restore sane defaults and cap summary at 12K tokens
- threshold: 0.80 → 0.50 (compress at 50%, not 80%)
- target_ratio: 0.40 → 0.20, now relative to threshold not total context
(20% of 50% = 10% of context as tail budget)
- summary ceiling: 32K → 12K (Gemini can't output more than ~12K)
- Updated DEFAULT_CONFIG, config display, example config, and tests
* fix: browser_vision ignores auxiliary.vision.timeout config (#2901)

* fix: browser_vision ignores auxiliary.vision.timeout config
browser_vision called call_llm() without passing a timeout parameter,
so it always used the 30-second default in auxiliary_client.py. This
made vision analysis with local models (llama.cpp, ollama) impossible
since they typically need more than 30s for screenshot analysis.
Now browser_vision reads auxiliary.vision.timeout from config.yaml
(same config key that vision_analyze already uses) and passes it
through to call_llm().
Also bumped the default vision timeout from 30s to 120s in both
browser_vision and vision_analyze — 30s is too aggressive for local
models and the previous default silently failed for anyone running
vision locally.
Fixes user report from GamerGB1988.
* fix(skills): agent-created skills were incorrectly treated as untrusted community content
_resolve_trust_level() didn't handle 'agent-created' source, so it
fell through to 'community' trust level. Community policy blocks on
any caution or dangerous findings, which meant common patterns like
curl with env vars, systemctl, crontab, cloudflared references etc.
would block skill creation/patching.
The agent-created policy row already existed in INSTALL_POLICY with
permissive settings (allow caution, ask on dangerous) but was never
reached. Now it is.
Fixes reports of skill_manage being blocked by security scanner.
* fix(cli): enhance real-time reasoning output by forcing flush of long partial lines
Updated the reasoning output mechanism to emit complete lines and force-flush long partial lines, ensuring reasoning is visible in real-time even without newlines. This improves user experience during reasoning sessions.
* fix: skip KawaiiSpinner when TUI handles tool progress
In the interactive CLI, the agent runs with quiet_mode=True and
tool_progress_callback set. The quiet_mode condition triggered
KawaiiSpinner for every tool call, but the TUI was already handling
progress display via the spinner widget.
The KawaiiSpinner writes carriage-return animation through StdoutProxy,
triggering run_in_terminal() erase/redraw cycles on every flush. These
redundant cycles cause the status bar to ghost into terminal scrollback.
The thinking spinner already had this guard (checks thinking_callback).
This extends the same pattern to the three tool spinner creation sites:
concurrent tools, delegate_task, and single tool execution.
- threshold: 0.80 → 0.50 (compress at 50%, not 80%)
- target_ratio: 0.40 → 0.20, now relative to threshold not total context
(20% of 50% = 10% of context as tail budget)
- summary ceiling: 32K → 12K (Gemini can't output more than ~12K)
- Updated DEFAULT_CONFIG, config display, example config, and tests
The summary_target_tokens parameter was accepted in the constructor,
stored on the instance, and never used — the summary budget was always
computed from hardcoded module constants (_SUMMARY_RATIO=0.20,
_MAX_SUMMARY_TOKENS=8000). This caused two compounding problems:
1. The config value was silently ignored, giving users no control
over post-compression size.
2. Fixed budgets (20K tail, 8K summary cap) didn't scale with
context window size. Switching from a 1M-context model to a
200K model would trigger compression that nuked 350K tokens
of conversation history down to ~30K.
Changes:
- Replace summary_target_tokens with summary_target_ratio (default 0.40)
which sets the post-compression target as a fraction of context_length.
Tail token budget and summary cap now scale proportionally:
MiniMax 200K → ~80K post-compression
GPT-5 1M → ~400K post-compression
- Change threshold_percent default: 0.50 → 0.80 (don't fire until
80% of context is consumed)
- Change protect_last_n default: 4 → 20 (preserve ~10 full turns)
- Summary token cap scales to 5% of context (was fixed 8K), capped
at 32K ceiling
- Read target_ratio and protect_last_n from config.yaml compression
section (both are now configurable)
- Remove hardcoded summary_target_tokens=500 from run_agent.py
- Add 5 new tests for ratio scaling, clamping, and new defaults
The gateway process runs from the hermes-agent install directory, so
os.getcwd() picks up the repo's AGENTS.md (16k chars) and other dev
context files — inflating input tokens by ~10k on every gateway message.
Fix: use TERMINAL_CWD (which the gateway sets to MESSAGING_CWD or
$HOME) as the cwd for build_context_files_prompt(). In CLI mode,
TERMINAL_CWD is the user's actual project directory, so behavior
is unchanged.
Before: gateway 15-20k input tokens, CLI 6-8k
After: gateway ~6-8k input tokens (same as CLI)

Reset context pressure warnings and update last_prompt_tokens and last_completion_tokens in the context compressor to prevent stale values from causing excessive warnings and re-triggering compression. This change ensures accurate pressure calculations following the compaction process.
Complete cleanup after dropping the mini-swe-agent submodule (PR #2804):
- Remove MSWEA_SILENT_STARTUP and MSWEA_GLOBAL_CONFIG_DIR env var
settings from cli.py, run_agent.py, hermes_cli/main.py, doctor.py
- Remove mini-swe-agent health check from hermes doctor
- Remove 'minisweagent' from logger suppression lists
- Remove litellm/typer/platformdirs from requirements.txt
- Remove mini-swe-agent install steps from install.ps1 (Windows)
- Remove mini-swe-agent install steps from website docs
- Update all stale comments/docstrings referencing mini-swe-agent
in terminal_tool.py, tools/__init__.py, code_execution_tool.py,
environments/README.md, environments/agent_loop.py
- Remove mini_swe_runner from pyproject.toml py-modules
(still exists as standalone script for RL training use)
- Shrink test_minisweagent_path.py to empty stub
The orphaned mini-swe-agent/ directory on disk needs manual removal:
rm -rf mini-swe-agent/
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.
- Added calls to `_fire_first_delta()` in the `AIAgent` class to ensure that the first delta is triggered for both reasoning and thinking updates. This change improves the handling of delta events during streaming, enhancing the responsiveness of the agent's reasoning capabilities.
- Introduced `_on_tool_gen_start` in `HermesCLI` to indicate when tool-call arguments are being generated, enhancing user feedback during streaming.
- Updated `AIAgent` to support a new `tool_gen_callback`, notifying the display layer when tool generation starts, allowing for better user experience during large payloads.
- Ensured that the callback is triggered appropriately during streaming events to prevent user interface freezing.
Added explicit closing of the OpenAI/httpx client in the background review process to prevent "Event loop is closed" errors. This change ensures that the client is properly cleaned up when the review agent is no longer needed, enhancing stability and resource management.
Follow-up to 669c60a6 (cherry-pick of PR #2187, fixes#2177).
The original fix emits a "\n\n" delta immediately after every
_execute_tool_calls() invocation. When the model runs multiple
consecutive tool iterations before producing text (common with
search → read → analyze flows), each iteration appends its own
paragraph break, resulting in 4-6+ blank lines before the actual
response.
Replace the immediate delta with a deferred flag
(_stream_needs_break). _fire_stream_delta() checks the flag and
prepends a single "\n\n" only when the first real text delta
arrives, so multiple back-to-back tool iterations still produce
exactly one paragraph break.
Reverts the sanitizer addition from PR #2466 (originally #2129).
We already have _empty_content_retries handling for reasoning-only
responses. The trailing strip risks silently eating valid messages
and is redundant with existing empty-content handling.
When subagents run in ThreadPoolExecutor threads, the shared stdout handle
can close between thread teardown and KawaiiSpinner cleanup. Python raises
ValueError (not OSError) for I/O operations on closed files:
ValueError: I/O operation on closed file
The _SafeWriter class was only catching OSError, missing this case.
Changes:
- Add ValueError to exception handling in write(), flush(), and isatty()
- Update docstring to document the ThreadPoolExecutor teardown scenario
Fixes#2428
Two related root causes for the '?[33mTool progress: NEW?[0m' garbling
reported on kitty, alacritty, ghostty and gnome-console:
1. /verbose label printing used self.console.print() with Rich markup
([yellow]...[/]). self.console is a plain Rich Console() whose output
goes directly to sys.stdout, which patch_stdout's StdoutProxy
intercepts and mangles raw ANSI sequences.
2. Context pressure status lines (e.g. 'approaching compaction') from
AIAgent._safe_print() had the same problem -- _safe_print() was a
@staticmethod that always called builtin print(), bypassing the
prompt_toolkit renderer entirely.
Fix:
- Convert AIAgent._safe_print() from @staticmethod to an instance method
that delegates to self._print_fn (defaults to builtin print, preserving
all non-CLI behaviour).
- After the CLI creates its AIAgent instance, wire self.agent._print_fn to
the existing _cprint() helper which routes through
prompt_toolkit.print_formatted_text(ANSI(text)).
- Rewrite the /verbose feedback labels to use hermes_cli.colors.Colors
ANSI constants in f-strings and emit them via _cprint() directly,
removing the Rich-markup-inside-patch_stdout anti-pattern.

When a non-OpenRouter provider (e.g. minimax, anthropic) is set in
config.yaml but its API key is missing, Hermes silently fell back to
OpenRouter, causing confusing 404 errors.
Now checks if the user explicitly configured a provider before falling
back. Explicit providers raise RuntimeError with a clear message naming
the missing env var. Auto/openrouter/custom providers still fall through
to OpenRouter as before.
Three code paths fixed:
- run_agent.py AIAgent.__init__ — main client initialization
- auxiliary_client.py call_llm — sync auxiliary calls
- auxiliary_client.py call_llm_streaming — async auxiliary calls
Based on PR #2272 by @StefanIsMe. Applied manually to fix a
pconfig NameError in the original and extend to call_llm_streaming.

Cherry-picked from PR #2187 by @devorun. Fixes#2177.
When streaming is enabled, text before and after tool calls gets
concatenated without separation. Adds a paragraph break delta after
_execute_tool_calls() so stream consumers insert proper whitespace
between iteration boundaries.
On the native Anthropic Messages API path, convert_messages_to_anthropic()
moves top-level cache_control on role:tool messages inside the tool_result
block. On OpenRouter (chat_completions), no such conversion happens — the
unexpected top-level field causes a silent hang on the second tool call.
Add native_anthropic parameter to _apply_cache_marker() and
apply_anthropic_cache_control(). When False (OpenRouter), role:tool messages
are skipped entirely. When True (native Anthropic), existing behaviour is
preserved.
Fixes#2362
* fix: prevent Anthropic token fallback leaking to third-party anthropic_messages providers
When provider is minimax/alibaba/etc and MINIMAX_API_KEY is not set,
the code fell back to resolve_anthropic_token() sending Anthropic OAuth
credentials to third-party endpoints, causing 401 errors.
Now only provider=="anthropic" triggers the fallback. Generalizes the
Alibaba-specific guard from #1739 to all non-Anthropic providers.
* fix: set provider='anthropic' in credential refresh tests
Follow-up for cherry-picked PR #2383 — existing tests didn't set
agent.provider, which the new guard requires to allow Anthropic
token refresh.

PR #2314 checked for provider names 'alibaba-coding-plan' and
'alibaba-coding-plan-anthropic' which don't exist in the provider
registry. The provider is always 'alibaba' — the condition was dead
code. Fixed to check self.provider == 'alibaba'.
When using Alibaba (DashScope) with an anthropic-compatible endpoint,
model names like qwen3.5-plus were being normalized to qwen3-5-plus.
Alibaba's API expects the dot. Added preserve_dots parameter to
normalize_model_name() and build_anthropic_kwargs().
Also fixed 401 auth: when provider is alibaba or base_url contains
dashscope/aliyuncs, use only the resolved API key (DASHSCOPE_API_KEY).
Never fall back to resolve_anthropic_token(), and skip Anthropic
credential refresh for DashScope endpoints.
Cherry-picked from PR #1748 by crazywriter1. Fixes#1739.
- Add resolve_config_path(): checks $HERMES_HOME/honcho.json first,
falls back to ~/.honcho/config.json. Enables isolated Hermes instances
with independent Honcho credentials and settings.
- Update CLI and doctor to use resolved path instead of hardcoded global.
- Change default session_strategy from per-session to per-directory.
