- Use Optional[List[str]] instead of List[str] | None (consistency)
- Add header, per-platform counts, and checkmark list format
- Matches the visual style of the interactive configurator
Documents the two-tier budget warning system from PR #762:
- Explains caution (70%) and warning (90%) thresholds
- Table showing what the model sees at each tier
- Notes on how injection preserves prompt caching
- Links to max_turns config
Authored by aydnOktay. Replaces print() statements with structured
logging calls (error/warning/info/debug) throughout the Telegram
adapter. Adds exc_info=True for stack traces on failures.
Two-tier warning system that nudges the LLM as it approaches
max_iterations, injected into the last tool result JSON rather
than as a separate system message:
- Caution (70%): {"_budget_warning": "[BUDGET: 42/60...]"}
- Warning (90%): {"_budget_warning": "[BUDGET WARNING: 54/60...]"}
For JSON tool results, adds a _budget_warning field to the existing
dict. For plain text results, appends the warning as text.
Key properties:
- No system messages injected mid-conversation
- No changes to message structure
- Prompt cache stays valid
- Configurable thresholds (0.7 / 0.9)
- Can be disabled: _budget_pressure_enabled = False
Inspired by PR #421 (@Bartok9) and issue #414.
8 tests covering thresholds, edge cases, JSON and text injection.
Authored by aydnOktay. Replaces bare print statements with structured
logger calls (error/warning/info) and adds exc_info=True for stack
traces on failure paths.
Documents the quick_commands config feature from PR #746:
- configuration.md: full section with examples (server status, disk,
gpu, update), behavior notes (timeout, priority, works everywhere)
- cli.md: brief section with config example + link to config guide
Replaces head-only stdout capture with a two-buffer approach (40% head,
60% tail rolling window) so scripts that print() their final results
at the end never lose them. Adds truncation notice between sections.
Cherry-picked from PR #755, conflict resolved (test file additions).
3 new tests for short output, head+tail preservation, and notice format.
Adds configurable bot message filtering via DISCORD_ALLOW_BOTS env var:
- 'none' (default): ignore all bot messages
- 'mentions': accept bots only when they @mention us
- 'all': accept all bot messages
Includes 8 tests.
Authored by teyrebaz33. Adds config-driven quick commands that execute
shell commands without invoking the LLM — zero token usage, works from
Telegram/Discord/Slack/etc. Closes#744.
Post-merge follow-up to PR #752 — adds 10 commands that were added
since the PR was submitted:
Session: /title, /compress, /rollback
Configuration: /provider, /verbose, /skin
Tools & Skills: /reload-mcp (+ full /skills description)
Info: /usage, /insights, /paste
Also preserved existing color formatting (_cprint, _GOLD, _BOLD, _DIM)
and skill commands section from main.
- Organize COMMANDS into COMMANDS_BY_CATEGORY dict
- Group commands: Session, Configuration, Tools & Skills, Info, Exit
- Add visual category headers with spacing
- Maintain backwards compat via flat COMMANDS dict
- Better visual hierarchy and scannability
Before:
/help - Show this help message
/tools - List available tools
... (dense list)
After:
── Session ──
/new Start a new conversation
/reset Reset conversation only
...
── Configuration ──
/config Show current configuration
...
Closes#640
Follow-up to 58dbd81 — ensures smooth transition for existing users:
- Backward compat: old session files without last_prompt_tokens
default to 0 via data.get('last_prompt_tokens', 0)
- /compress, /undo, /retry: reset last_prompt_tokens to 0 after
rewriting transcripts (stale token counts would under-report)
- Auto-compression hygiene: reset last_prompt_tokens after rewriting
- update_session: use None sentinel (not 0) as default so callers
can explicitly reset to 0 while normal calls don't clobber
- 6 new tests covering: default value, serialization roundtrip,
old-format migration, set/reset/no-change semantics
- /reset: new SessionEntry naturally gets last_prompt_tokens=0
2942 tests pass.
Adds two tests for _handle_retry_command: verifies /retry returns the
agent response (not None), and verifies graceful handling when no
previous message exists.

Root cause of aggressive gateway compression vs CLI:
- CLI: single AIAgent persists across conversation, uses real API-reported
prompt_tokens for compression decisions — accurate
- Gateway: each message creates fresh AIAgent, token count discarded after,
next message pre-check falls back to rough str(msg)//4 estimate which
overestimates 30-50% on tool-heavy conversations
Fix:
- Add last_prompt_tokens field to SessionEntry — stores the actual
API-reported prompt token count from the most recent agent turn
- After run_conversation(), extract context_compressor.last_prompt_tokens
and persist it via update_session()
- Gateway pre-check now uses stored actual tokens when available (exact
same accuracy as CLI), falling back to rough estimate with 1.4x safety
factor only for the first message of a session
This makes gateway compression behave identically to CLI compression
for all turns after the first. Reported by TigerHix.
fetch_nous_models() returned models in whatever order the API gave
them, which put sonnet near the top. Add a priority sort so users
see the best models first: opus > pro > other > sonnet.
The gateway's session hygiene pre-check uses a rough char-based token
estimate (total_chars / 4) to decide whether to compress before the
agent starts. This significantly overestimates for tool-heavy and
code-heavy conversations because:
1. str(msg) on dicts includes Python repr overhead (keys, brackets, etc.)
2. Code/JSON tokenizes at 5-7+ chars/token, not the assumed 4
This caused users with 200k context to see compression trigger at
~100-113k actual tokens instead of the expected 170k (85% threshold).
Reported by TigerHix on Twitter.
Fix: apply a 1.4x safety factor to the gateway pre-check threshold.
This pre-check is only meant to catch pathologically large transcripts
— the agent's own compression uses actual API-reported token counts
for precise threshold management.
Authored by dmahan93. Adds HERMES_YOLO_MODE env var and --yolo CLI flag
to auto-approve all dangerous command prompts.
Post-merge: renamed --fuck-it-ship-it to --yolo for brevity,
resolved conflict with --checkpoints flag.
Adds -Q/--quiet to `hermes chat` for use by external orchestrators
(Paperclip, scripts, CI). When combined with -q, suppresses:
- Banner and ASCII art
- Spinner animations
- Tool preview lines (┊ prefix)
Only outputs:
- The agent's final response text
- A parseable 'session_id: <id>' line for session resumption
Usage: hermes chat -q 'Do something' -Q
Used by: Paperclip adapter (@nousresearch/paperclip-adapter-hermes)
On macOS, Docker Desktop installs the CLI to /usr/local/bin/docker, but
when Hermes runs as a gateway service (launchd) or in other non-login
contexts, /usr/local/bin is often not in PATH. This causes the Docker
requirements check to fail with 'No such file or directory: docker' even
though docker works fine from the user's terminal.
Add find_docker() helper that uses shutil.which() first, then probes
common Docker Desktop install paths on macOS (/usr/local/bin,
/opt/homebrew/bin, Docker.app bundle). The resolved path is cached and
passed to mini-swe-agent via its 'executable' parameter.
- tools/environments/docker.py: add find_docker(), use it in
_storage_opt_supported() and pass to _Docker(executable=...)
- tools/terminal_tool.py: use find_docker() in requirements check
- tests/tools/test_docker_find.py: 4 tests (PATH, fallback, not found, cache)
2877 tests pass.
Shows an immediate status message and braille spinner for slow slash
commands (/skills search|browse|inspect|install, /reload-mcp). Makes
input read-only while the command runs so the CLI doesn't appear frozen.

Two related bugs prevented users from reliably switching providers:
1. OPENAI_BASE_URL poisoning OpenRouter resolution: When a user with a
custom endpoint ran /model openrouter:model, _resolve_openrouter_runtime
picked up OPENAI_BASE_URL instead of the OpenRouter URL, causing model
validation to probe the wrong API and reject valid models.
Fix: skip OPENAI_BASE_URL when requested_provider is explicitly
'openrouter'.
2. Provider never saved to config: _save_model_choice() could save
config.model as a plain string. All five _model_flow_* functions then
checked isinstance(model, dict) before writing the provider — which
silently failed on strings. With no provider in config, auto-detection
would pick up stale credentials (e.g. Codex desktop app) instead of
the user's explicit choice.
Fix: _save_model_choice() now always saves as dict format. All flow
functions also normalize string->dict as a safety net before writing
provider.
Adds 4 regression tests. 2873 tests pass.
Follow-up to PR #716 (0xbyt4):
- Log the third remaining silent except-pass in scheduler (prefill
messages JSON parse failure)
- Fix test mock: run → run_conversation (matches actual agent API)
- Remove unused imports (asyncio, AsyncMock)
- Add test for prefill_messages parse failure logging
The 4 early-return paths in _spawn_training_run (API exit, trainer
exit, env not found, env exit) were doing manual process.terminate()
or returning without cleanup, leaking open log file handles. Now all
paths call _stop_training_run() which handles both process termination
and file handle closure.
Also adds 12 tests for _stop_training_run covering file handle
cleanup, process termination, status transitions, and edge cases.
Inspired by PR #715 (0xbyt4) which identified the early-return issue.
Core file handle fix was already on main via e28dc13 (memosr.eth).
Follow-up to PR #705 (merged from 0xbyt4). Addresses several issues:
1. CONSECUTIVE-ONLY TRACKING: Redesigned the read/search tracker to only
warn/block on truly consecutive identical calls. Any other tool call
in between (write, patch, terminal, etc.) resets the counter via
notify_other_tool_call(), called from handle_function_call() in
model_tools.py. This prevents false blocks in read→edit→verify flows.
2. THRESHOLD ADJUSTMENT: Warn on 3rd consecutive (was 2nd), block on
4th+ consecutive (was 3rd+). Gives the model more room before
intervening.
3. TUPLE UNPACKING BUG: Fixed get_read_files_summary() which crashed on
search keys (5-tuple) when trying to unpack as 3-tuple. Now uses a
separate read_history set that only tracks file reads.
4. WEB_EXTRACT DOCSTRING: Reverted incorrect removal of 'title' from
web_extract return docs in code_execution_tool.py — the field IS
returned by web_tools.py.
5. TESTS: Rewrote test_read_loop_detection.py (35 tests) to cover
consecutive-only behavior, notify_other_tool_call, interleaved
read/search, and summary-unaffected-by-searches.
Use rich_box.HORIZONTALS instead of the default ROUNDED box style
for the agent response panel. This keeps the top/bottom horizontal
rules (with title) but removes the vertical │ borders on left and
right, making it much easier to copy-paste response text from the
terminal.
Three separate code paths all wrote to the same SQLite state.db with
no deduplication, inflating session transcripts by 3-4x:
1. _log_msg_to_db() — wrote each message individually after append
2. _flush_messages_to_session_db() — re-wrote ALL new messages at
every _persist_session() call (~18 exit points), with no tracking
of what was already written
3. gateway append_to_transcript() — wrote everything a third time
after the agent returned
Since load_transcript() prefers SQLite over JSONL, the inflated data
was loaded on every session resume, causing proportional token waste.
Fix:
- Remove _log_msg_to_db() and all 16 call sites (redundant with flush)
- Add _last_flushed_db_idx tracking in _flush_messages_to_session_db()
so repeated _persist_session() calls only write truly new messages
- Reset flush cursor on compression (new session ID)
- Add skip_db parameter to SessionStore.append_to_transcript() so the
gateway skips SQLite writes when the agent already persisted them
- Gateway now passes skip_db=True for agent-managed messages, still
writes to JSONL as backup
Verified: a 12-message CLI session with tool calls produces exactly
12 SQLite rows with zero duplicates (previously would be 36-48).
Tests: 9 new tests covering flush deduplication, skip_db behavior,
compression reset, and initialization. Full suite passes (2869 tests).
Signal's send() used 'text' instead of 'content' and 'reply_to_message_id'
instead of 'reply_to', mismatching BasePlatformAdapter.send(). Callers in
gateway/run.py use keyword args matching the base interface, so Signal's
send() was missing its required 'text' positional arg.
Fixes: 'SignalAdapter.send() missing 1 required positional argument: text'
_keep_typing() was called with metadata= for thread-aware typing
indicators, but neither it nor the base send_typing() accepted
that parameter. Most adapter overrides (Slack, Discord, Telegram,
WhatsApp, HA) already accept metadata=None, but the base class
and Signal adapter did not.
- Add metadata=None to BasePlatformAdapter.send_typing()
- Add metadata=None to BasePlatformAdapter._keep_typing(), pass through
- Add metadata=None to SignalAdapter.send_typing()
Fixes TypeError in _process_message_background for Signal.
The Signal adapter was passing image_paths, audio_path, and document_paths
to MessageEvent.__init__(), but those fields don't exist on the dataclass.
MessageEvent uses media_urls (List[str]) and media_types (List[str]).
Changes:
- Replace separate image_paths/audio_path/document_paths with unified
media_urls and media_types lists (matching Discord, Slack, etc.)
- Add _ext_to_mime() helper to map file extensions to MIME types
- Use Signal's contentType from attachment metadata when available,
falling back to extension-based mapping
- Update message type detection to check media_types prefixes
Fixes TypeError: MessageEvent.__init__() got an unexpected keyword
argument 'image_paths'
