Salvaged fixes from community PRs:
- fix(model_switch): _read_auth_store → _load_auth_store + fix auth store
key lookup (was checking top-level dict instead of store['providers']).
OAuth providers now correctly detected in /model picker.
Cherry-picked from PR #5911 by Xule Lin (linxule).
- fix(ollama): pass num_ctx to override 2048 default context window.
Ollama defaults to 2048 context regardless of model capabilities. Now
auto-detects from /api/show metadata and injects num_ctx into every
request. Config override via model.ollama_num_ctx. Fixes#2708.
Cherry-picked from PR #5929 by kshitij (kshitijk4poor).
- fix(aux): normalize provider aliases for vision/auxiliary routing.
Adds _normalize_aux_provider() with 17 aliases (google→gemini,
claude→anthropic, glm→zai, etc). Fixes vision routing failure when
provider is set to 'google' instead of 'gemini'.
Cherry-picked from PR #5793 by e11i (Elizabeth1979).
- fix(aux): rewrite MiniMax /anthropic base URLs to /v1 for OpenAI SDK.
MiniMax's inference_base_url ends in /anthropic (Anthropic Messages API),
but auxiliary client uses OpenAI SDK which appends /chat/completions →
404 at /anthropic/chat/completions. Generic _to_openai_base_url() helper
rewrites terminal /anthropic to /v1 for OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
Inspired by PR #5786 by Lempkey.
Added debug logging to silent exception blocks across all fixes.

Free-tier Nous Portal users were getting mimo-v2-omni (a multimodal
model) for all auxiliary tasks including compression, session search,
and web extraction. Now routes non-vision tasks to mimo-v2-pro (a
text model) which is better suited for those workloads.
- Added _NOUS_FREE_TIER_AUX_MODEL constant for text auxiliary tasks
- _try_nous() accepts vision=False param to select the right model
- Vision path (_resolve_strict_vision_backend) passes vision=True
- All other callers default to vision=False → mimo-v2-pro
* fix(telegram): replace substring caption check with exact line-by-line match
Captions in photo bursts and media group albums were silently dropped when
a shorter caption happened to be a substring of an existing one (e.g.
"Meeting" lost inside "Meeting agenda"). Extract a shared _merge_caption
static helper that splits on "\n\n" and uses exact match with whitespace
normalisation, then use it in both _enqueue_photo_event and
_queue_media_group_event.
Adds 13 unit tests covering the fixed bug scenarios.
Cherry-picked from PR #2671 by Dilee.
* fix: extend caption substring fix to all platforms
Move _merge_caption helper from TelegramAdapter to BasePlatformAdapter
so all adapters inherit it. Fix the same substring-containment bug in:
- gateway/platforms/base.py (photo burst merging)
- gateway/run.py (priority photo follow-up merging)
- gateway/platforms/feishu.py (media batch merging)
The original fix only covered telegram.py. The same bug existed in base.py
and run.py (pure substring check) and feishu.py (list membership without
whitespace normalization).
* fix(auxiliary): resolve named custom providers and 'main' alias in auxiliary routing
Two bugs caused auxiliary tasks (vision, compression, etc.) to fail when
using named custom providers defined in config.yaml:
1. 'provider: main' was hardcoded to 'custom', which only checks legacy
OPENAI_BASE_URL env vars. Now reads _read_main_provider() to resolve
to the actual provider (e.g., 'custom:beans', 'openrouter', 'deepseek').
2. Named custom provider names (e.g., 'beans') fell through to
PROVIDER_REGISTRY which doesn't know about config.yaml entries.
Now checks _get_named_custom_provider() before the registry fallback.
Fixes both resolve_provider_client() and _normalize_vision_provider()
so the fix covers all auxiliary tasks (vision, compression, web_extract,
session_search, etc.).
Adds 13 unit tests. Reported by Laura via Discord.

16 callsites across 14 files were re-deriving the hermes home path
via os.environ.get('HERMES_HOME', ...) instead of using the canonical
get_hermes_home() from hermes_constants. This breaks profiles — each
profile has its own HERMES_HOME, and the inline fallback defaults to
~/.hermes regardless.
Fixed by importing and calling get_hermes_home() at each site. For
files already inside the hermes process (agent/, hermes_cli/, tools/,
gateway/, plugins/), this is always safe. Files that run outside the
process context (mcp_serve.py, mcp_oauth.py) already had correct
try/except ImportError fallbacks and were left alone.
Skipped: hermes_constants.py (IS the implementation), env_loader.py
(bootstrap), profiles.py (intentionally manipulates the env var),
standalone scripts (optional-skills/, skills/), and tests.
Comprehensive cleanup across 80 files based on automated (ruff, pyflakes, vulture)
and manual analysis of the entire codebase.
Changes by category:
Unused imports removed (~95 across 55 files):
- Removed genuinely unused imports from all major subsystems
- agent/, hermes_cli/, tools/, gateway/, plugins/, cron/
- Includes imports in try/except blocks that were truly unused
(vs availability checks which were left alone)
Unused variables removed (~25):
- Removed dead variables: connected, inner, channels, last_exc,
source, new_server_names, verify, pconfig, default_terminal,
result, pending_handled, temperature, loop
- Dropped unused argparse subparser assignments in hermes_cli/main.py
(12 instances of add_parser() where result was never used)
Dead code removed:
- run_agent.py: Removed dead ternary (None if False else None) and
surrounding unreachable branch in identity fallback
- run_agent.py: Removed write-only attribute _last_reported_tool
- hermes_cli/providers.py: Removed dead @property decorator on
module-level function (decorator has no effect outside a class)
- gateway/run.py: Removed unused MCP config load before reconnect
- gateway/platforms/slack.py: Removed dead SessionSource construction
Undefined name bugs fixed (would cause NameError at runtime):
- batch_runner.py: Added missing logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
- tools/environments/daytona.py: Added missing Dict and Path imports
Unnecessary global statements removed (14):
- tools/terminal_tool.py: 5 functions declared global for dicts
they only mutated via .pop()/[key]=value (no rebinding)
- tools/browser_tool.py: cleanup thread loop only reads flag
- tools/rl_training_tool.py: 4 functions only do dict mutations
- tools/mcp_oauth.py: only reads the global
- hermes_time.py: only reads cached values
Inefficient patterns fixed:
- startswith/endswith tuple form: 15 instances of
x.startswith('a') or x.startswith('b') consolidated to
x.startswith(('a', 'b'))
- len(x)==0 / len(x)>0: 13 instances replaced with pythonic
truthiness checks (not x / bool(x))
- in dict.keys(): 5 instances simplified to in dict
- Redefined unused name: removed duplicate _strip_mdv2 import in
send_message_tool.py
Other fixes:
- hermes_cli/doctor.py: Replaced undefined logger.debug() with pass
- hermes_cli/config.py: Consolidated chained .endswith() calls
Test results: 3934 passed, 17 failed (all pre-existing on main),
19 skipped. Zero regressions.
- Show pricing during initial Nous Portal login (was missing from
_login_nous, only shown in the already-logged-in hermes model path)
- Filter free models for paid subscribers: non-allowlisted free models
are hidden; allowlisted models (xiaomi/mimo-v2-pro, xiaomi/mimo-v2-omni)
only appear when actually priced as free
- Detect free-tier accounts via portal api/oauth/account endpoint
(monthly_charge == 0); free-tier users see only free models as
selectable, with paid models shown dimmed and unselectable
- Use xiaomi/mimo-v2-omni as the auxiliary vision model for free-tier
Nous users so vision_analyze and browser_vision work without paid
model access (replaces the default google/gemini-3-flash-preview)
- Unavailable models rendered via print() before TerminalMenu to avoid
simple_term_menu line-width padding artifacts; upgrade URL resolved
from auth state portal_base_url (supports staging/custom portals)
- Add 21 tests covering filter_nous_free_models, is_nous_free_tier,
and partition_nous_models_by_tier
* feat: switch managed browser provider from Browserbase to Browser Use
The Nous subscription tool gateway now routes browser automation through
Browser Use instead of Browserbase. This commit:
- Adds managed Nous gateway support to BrowserUseProvider (idempotency
keys, X-BB-API-Key auth header, external_call_id persistence)
- Removes managed gateway support from BrowserbaseProvider (now
direct-only via BROWSERBASE_API_KEY/BROWSERBASE_PROJECT_ID)
- Updates browser_tool.py fallback: prefers Browser Use over Browserbase
- Updates nous_subscription.py: gateway vendor 'browser-use', auto-config
sets cloud_provider='browser-use' for new subscribers
- Updates tools_config.py: Nous Subscription entry now uses Browser Use
- Updates setup.py, cli.py, status.py, prompt_builder.py display strings
- Updates all affected tests to match new behavior
Browserbase remains fully functional for users with direct API credentials.
The change only affects the managed/subscription path.
* chore: remove redundant Browser Use hint from system prompt
* fix: upgrade Browser Use provider to v3 API
- Base URL: api/v2 -> api/v3 (v2 is legacy)
- Unified all endpoints to use native Browser Use paths:
- POST /browsers (create session, returns cdpUrl)
- PATCH /browsers/{id} with {action: stop} (close session)
- Removed managed-mode branching that used Browserbase-style
/v1/sessions paths — v3 gateway now supports /browsers directly
- Removed unused managed_mode variable in close_session
* fix(browser-use): use X-Browser-Use-API-Key header for managed mode
The managed gateway expects X-Browser-Use-API-Key, not X-BB-API-Key
(which is a Browserbase-specific header). Using the wrong header caused
a 401 AUTH_ERROR on every managed-mode browser session create.
Simplified _headers() to always use X-Browser-Use-API-Key regardless
of direct vs managed mode.
* fix(nous_subscription): browserbase explicit provider is direct-only
Since managed Nous gateway now routes through Browser Use, the
browserbase explicit provider path should not check managed_browser_available
(which resolves against the browser-use gateway). Simplified to direct-only
with managed=False.
* fix(browser-use): port missing improvements from PR #5605
- CDP URL normalization: resolve HTTP discovery URLs to websocket after
cloud provider create_session() (prevents agent-browser failures)
- Managed session payload: send timeout=5 and proxyCountryCode=us for
gateway-backed sessions (prevents billing overruns)
- Update prompt builder, browser_close schema, and module docstring to
replace remaining Browserbase references with Browser Use
- Dynamic /browser status detection via _get_cloud_provider() instead
of hardcoded env var checks (future-proof for new providers)
- Rename post_setup key from 'browserbase' to 'agent_browser'
- Update setup hint to mention Browser Use alongside Browserbase
- Add tests: CDP normalization, browserbase direct-only guard,
managed browser-use gateway, direct browserbase fallback

* refactor: remove browser_close tool — auto-cleanup handles it
The browser_close tool was called in only 9% of browser sessions (13/144
navigations across 66 sessions), always redundantly — cleanup_browser()
already runs via _cleanup_task_resources() at conversation end, and the
background inactivity reaper catches anything else.
Removing it saves one tool schema slot in every browser-enabled API call.
Also fixes a latent bug: cleanup_browser() now handles Camofox sessions
too (previously only Browserbase). Camofox sessions were never auto-cleaned
per-task because they live in a separate dict from _active_sessions.
Files changed (13):
- tools/browser_tool.py: remove function, schema, registry entry; add
camofox cleanup to cleanup_browser()
- toolsets.py, model_tools.py, prompt_builder.py, display.py,
acp_adapter/tools.py: remove browser_close from all tool lists
- tests/: remove browser_close test, update toolset assertion
- docs/skills: remove all browser_close references
* fix: repeat browser_scroll 5x per call for meaningful page movement
Most backends scroll ~100px per call — barely visible on a typical
viewport. Repeating 5x gives ~500px (~half a viewport), making each
scroll tool call actually useful.
Backend-agnostic approach: works across all 7+ browser backends without
needing to configure each one's scroll amount individually. Breaks
early on error for the agent-browser path.
* feat: auto-return compact snapshot from browser_navigate
Every browser session starts with navigate → snapshot. Now navigate
returns the compact accessibility tree snapshot inline, saving one
tool call per browser task.
The snapshot captures the full page DOM (not viewport-limited), so
scroll position doesn't affect it. browser_snapshot remains available
for refreshing after interactions or getting full=true content.
Both Browserbase and Camofox paths auto-snapshot. If the snapshot
fails for any reason, navigation still succeeds — the snapshot is
a bonus, not a requirement.
Schema descriptions updated to guide models: navigate mentions it
returns a snapshot, snapshot mentions it's for refresh/full content.
* refactor: slim cronjob tool schema — consolidate model/provider, drop unused params
Session data (151 calls across 67 sessions) showed several schema
properties were never used by models. Consolidated and cleaned up:
Removed from schema (still work via backend/CLI):
- skill (singular): use skills array instead
- reason: pause-only, unnecessary
- include_disabled: now defaults to true
- base_url: extreme edge case, zero usage
- provider (standalone): merged into model object
Consolidated:
- model + provider → single 'model' object with {model, provider} fields.
If provider is omitted, the current main provider is pinned at creation
time so the job stays stable even if the user changes their default.
Kept:
- script: useful data collection feature
- skills array: standard interface for skill loading
Schema shrinks from 14 to 10 properties. All backend functionality
preserved — the Python function signature and handler lambda still
accept every parameter.
* fix: remove mixture_of_agents from core toolsets — opt-in only via hermes tools
MoA was in _HERMES_CORE_TOOLS and composite toolsets (hermes-cli,
hermes-messaging, safe), which meant it appeared in every session
for anyone with OPENROUTER_API_KEY set. The _DEFAULT_OFF_TOOLSETS
gate only works after running 'hermes tools' explicitly.
Now MoA only appears when a user explicitly enables it via
'hermes tools'. The moa toolset definition and check_fn remain
unchanged — it just needs to be opted into.
The credential pool seeder and runtime credential resolver hardcoded
api.z.ai/api/paas/v4 for all Z.AI keys. Keys on the Coding Plan (or CN
endpoint) would hit the wrong endpoint, causing 401/429 errors on the
first request even though a working endpoint exists.
Add _resolve_zai_base_url() that:
- Respects GLM_BASE_URL env var (no probe when explicitly set)
- Probes all candidate endpoints (global, cn, coding-global, coding-cn)
via detect_zai_endpoint() to find one that returns HTTP 200
- Caches the detected endpoint in provider state (auth.json) keyed on
a SHA-256 hash of the API key so subsequent starts skip the probe
- Falls back to the default URL if all probes fail
Wire into both _seed_from_env() in the credential pool and
resolve_api_key_provider_credentials() in the runtime resolver,
matching the pattern from the kimi-coding fix (PR #5566).
Fixes the same class of bug as #5561 but for the zai provider.
Cherry-picked from PR #5580 by MestreY0d4-Uninter.
- Share parent's credential pool with child agents for key rotation
- Leasing layer spreads parallel children across keys (least-loaded)
- Thread-safe acquire_lease/release_lease in CredentialPool
- Reverted sneaked-in tool-name restoration change (kept original
getattr + isinstance guard pattern)
Two remaining gaps from the codex empty-output spec:
1. Normalize dict-shaped streamed items: output_item.done events may
yield dicts (raw/fallback paths) instead of SDK objects. The
extraction loop now uses _item_get() that handles both getattr
and dict .get() access.
2. Avoid plain-text synthesis when function_call events were streamed:
tracks has_function_calls during streaming and skips text-delta
synthesis when tool calls are present — prevents collapsing a
tool-call response into a fake text message.
The _CodexCompletionsAdapter (used for compression, vision, web_extract,
session_search, and memory flush when on the codex provider) streamed
responses but discarded all events with 'for _event in stream: pass'.
When get_final_response() returned empty output (the same chatgpt.com
backend-api shape change), auxiliary calls silently returned None content.
Now collects response.output_item.done and text deltas during streaming
and backfills empty output — same pattern as _run_codex_stream().
Tested live against chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex with OAuth.
OpenAI OAuth refresh tokens are single-use and rotate on every refresh.
When the Codex CLI (or another Hermes profile) refreshes its token, the
pool entry's refresh_token becomes stale. Subsequent refresh attempts
fail with invalid_grant, and the entry enters a 24-hour exhaustion
cooldown with no recovery path.
This mirrors the existing _sync_anthropic_entry_from_credentials_file()
pattern: when an openai-codex entry is exhausted, compare its
refresh_token against ~/.codex/auth.json and sync the fresh pair if
they differ.
Fixes the common scenario where users run 'codex login' to refresh
their token externally and Hermes never picks it up.

Two fixes:
1. Replace all stale 'hermes login' references with 'hermes auth' across
auth.py, auxiliary_client.py, delegate_tool.py, config.py, run_agent.py,
and documentation. The 'hermes login' command was deprecated; 'hermes auth'
now handles OAuth credential management.
2. Fix credential removal not persisting for singleton-sourced credentials
(device_code for openai-codex/nous, hermes_pkce for anthropic).
auth_remove_command already cleared env vars for env-sourced credentials,
but singleton credentials stored in the auth store were re-seeded by
_seed_from_singletons() on the next load_pool() call. Now clears the
underlying auth store entry when removing singleton-sourced credentials.
Skills can now declare config.yaml settings via metadata.hermes.config
in their SKILL.md frontmatter. Values are stored under skills.config.*
namespace, prompted during hermes config migrate, shown in hermes config
show, and injected into the skill context at load time.
Also adds the llm-wiki skill (Karpathy's LLM Wiki pattern) as the first
skill to use the new config interface, declaring wiki.path.
Skill config interface (new):
- agent/skill_utils.py: extract_skill_config_vars(), discover_all_skill_config_vars(),
resolve_skill_config_values(), SKILL_CONFIG_PREFIX
- agent/skill_commands.py: _inject_skill_config() injects resolved values
into skill messages as [Skill config: ...] block
- hermes_cli/config.py: get_missing_skill_config_vars(), skill config
prompting in migrate_config(), Skill Settings in show_config()
LLM Wiki skill (skills/research/llm-wiki/SKILL.md):
- Three-layer architecture (raw sources, wiki pages, schema)
- Three operations (ingest, query, lint)
- Session orientation, page thresholds, tag taxonomy, update policy,
scaling guidance, log rotation, archiving workflow
Docs: creating-skills.md, configuration.md, skills.md, skills-catalog.md
Closes#5100
When a user runs out of OpenRouter credits and switches to Codex (or any
other provider), auxiliary tasks (compression, vision, web_extract) would
still try OpenRouter first and fail with 402. Two fixes:
1. Payment fallback in call_llm(): When a resolved provider returns HTTP 402
or a credit-related error, automatically retry with the next available
provider in the auto-detection chain. Skips the depleted provider and
tries Nous → Custom → Codex → API-key providers.
2. Remove hardcoded OpenRouter fallback: The old code fell back specifically
to OpenRouter when auto/custom resolution returned no client. Now falls
back to the full auto-detection chain, which handles any available
provider — not just OpenRouter.
Also extracts _get_provider_chain() as a shared function (replaces inline
tuple in _resolve_auto and the new fallback), built at call time so test
patches on _try_* functions remain visible.
Adds 16 tests covering _is_payment_error(), _get_provider_chain(),
_try_payment_fallback(), and call_llm() integration with 402 retry.
Telegram Bot API requires command names to contain only lowercase a-z,
digits 0-9, and underscores. Skill/plugin names containing characters
like +, /, @, or . caused set_my_commands to fail with
Bot_command_invalid.
Two-layer fix:
- scan_skill_commands(): strip non-alphanumeric/non-hyphen chars from
cmd_key at source, collapse consecutive hyphens, trim edges, skip
names that sanitize to empty string
- _sanitize_telegram_name(): centralized helper used by all 3 Telegram
name generation sites (core commands, plugin commands, skill commands)
with empty-name guard at each call site
Closes#5534
Grok models (x-ai/grok-4.20-beta, grok-code-fast-1) now receive tool-use
enforcement guidance, steering them to actually call tools instead of
describing intended actions. Matches both OpenRouter (x-ai/grok-*) and
direct xAI API usage.
Enable Hermes tool execution through the copilot-acp adapter by:
- Passing tool schemas and tool_choice into the ACP prompt text
- Instructing ACP backend to emit <tool_call>{...}</tool_call> blocks
- Parsing XML tool-call blocks and bare JSON fallback back into
Hermes-compatible SimpleNamespace tool call objects
- Setting finish_reason='tool_calls' when tool calls are extracted
- Cleaning tool-call markup from response text
Fix duplicate tool call extraction when both XML block and bare JSON
regexes matched the same content (XML blocks now take precedence).
Cherry-picked from PR #4536 by MestreY0d4-Uninter. Stripped heuristic
fallback system (auto-synthesized tool calls from prose) and
Portuguese-language patterns — tool execution should be model-decided,
not heuristic-guessed.
Consolidated salvage from PRs #5301 (qaqcvc), #5339 (lance0),
#5058 and #5098 (maymuneth).
Mem0 API v2 compatibility (#5301):
- All reads use filters={user_id: ...} instead of bare user_id= kwarg
- All writes use filters with user_id + agent_id for attribution
- Response unwrapping for v2 dict format {results: [...]}
- Split _read_filters() vs _write_filters() — reads are user-scoped
only for cross-session recall, writes include agent_id
- Preserved 'hermes-user' default (no breaking change for existing users)
- Omitted run_id scoping from #5301 — cross-session memory is Mem0's
core value, session-scoping reads would defeat that purpose
Memory prefetch context fencing (#5339):
- Wraps prefetched memory in <memory-context> fenced blocks with system
note marking content as recalled context, NOT user input
- Sanitizes provider output to strip fence-escape sequences, preventing
injection where memory content breaks out of the fence
- API-call-time only — never persisted to session history
Secret redaction (#5058, #5098):
- Added prefix patterns for Groq (gsk_), Matrix (syt_), RetainDB
(retaindb_), Hindsight (hsk-), Mem0 (mem0_), ByteRover (brv_)
Adds OPENAI_MODEL_EXECUTION_GUIDANCE — XML-tagged behavioral guidance
injected for GPT and Codex models alongside the existing tool-use
enforcement. Targets four specific failure modes:
- <tool_persistence>: retry on empty/partial results instead of giving up
- <prerequisite_checks>: do discovery/lookup before jumping to final action
- <verification>: check correctness/grounding/formatting before finalizing
- <missing_context>: use lookup tools instead of hallucinating
Follows the same injection pattern as GOOGLE_MODEL_OPERATIONAL_GUIDANCE
for Gemini/Gemma models. Inspired by OpenClaw PR #38953 and OpenAI's
GPT-5.4 prompting guide patterns.
As the agent navigates into subdirectories via tool calls (read_file,
terminal, search_files, etc.), automatically discover and load project
context files (AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, .cursorrules) from those directories.
Previously, context files were only loaded from the CWD at session start.
If the agent moved into backend/, frontend/, or any subdirectory with its
own AGENTS.md, those instructions were never seen.
Now, SubdirectoryHintTracker watches tool call arguments for file paths
and shell commands, resolves directories, and loads hint files on first
access. Discovered hints are appended to the tool result so the model
gets relevant context at the moment it starts working in a new area —
without modifying the system prompt (preserving prompt caching).
Features:
- Extracts paths from tool args (path, workdir) and shell commands
- Loads AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, .cursorrules (first match per directory)
- Deduplicates — each directory loaded at most once per session
- Ignores paths outside the working directory
- Truncates large hint files at 8K chars
- Works on both sequential and concurrent tool execution paths
Inspired by Block/goose SubdirectoryHintTracker.
Telegram's Bot API disallows hyphens in command names, so
_build_telegram_menu registers /claude-code as /claude_code. When the
user taps it from autocomplete, the gateway dispatch did a direct
lookup against skill_cmds (keyed on the hyphenated form) and missed,
silently falling through to the LLM as plain text. The model would
then typically call delegate_task, spawning a Hermes subagent instead
of invoking the intended skill.
Normalize underscores to hyphens in skill and plugin command lookup,
matching the existing pattern in _check_unavailable_skill.
Resolve exact label matches before treating digit-only input as a positional index so destructive auth removal does not mis-target credentials named with numeric labels.
Constraint: The CLI remove path must keep supporting existing index-based usage while adding safer label targeting
Rejected: Ban numeric labels | labels are free-form and existing users may already rely on them
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Reversibility: clean
Directive: When a destructive command accepts multiple identifier forms, prefer exact identity matches before fallback parsing heuristics
Tested: Focused pytest slice for auth commands, credential pool recovery, and routing (273 passed); py_compile on changed Python files
Not-tested: Full repository pytest suite
Persist structured exhaustion metadata from provider errors, use explicit reset timestamps when available, and expose label-based credential targeting in the auth CLI. This keeps long-lived Codex cooldowns from being misreported as one-hour waits and avoids forcing operators to manage entries by list position alone.
Constraint: Existing credential pool JSON needs to remain backward compatible with stored entries that only record status code and timestamp
Constraint: Runtime recovery must keep the existing retry-then-rotate semantics for 429s while enriching pool state with provider metadata
Rejected: Add a separate credential scheduler subsystem | too large for the Hermes pool architecture and unnecessary for this fix
Rejected: Only change CLI formatting | would leave runtime rotation blind to resets_at and preserve the serial-failure behavior
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Preserve structured rate-limit metadata when new providers expose reset hints; do not collapse back to status-code-only exhaustion tracking
Tested: Focused pytest slice for auth commands, credential pool recovery, and routing (272 passed); py_compile on changed Python files; hermes -w auth list/remove smoke test with temporary HERMES_HOME
Not-tested: Full repository pytest suite, broader gateway/integration flows outside the touched auth and pool paths
Users on direct API-key providers (Alibaba, DeepSeek, ZAI, etc.) without
an OpenRouter or Nous key would get broken auxiliary tasks (compression,
vision, etc.) because _resolve_auto() only tried aggregator providers
first, then fell back to iterating PROVIDER_REGISTRY with wrong default
model names.
Now _resolve_auto() checks the user's main provider first. If it's not
an aggregator (OpenRouter/Nous), it uses their main model directly for
all auxiliary tasks. Aggregator users still get the cheap gemini-flash
model as before.
Adds _read_main_provider() to read model.provider from config.yaml,
mirroring the existing _read_main_model().
Reported by SkyLinx — Alibaba Coding Plan user getting 400 errors from
google/gemini-3-flash-preview being sent to DashScope.
Bug fixes:
- agent/redact.py: catastrophic regex backtracking in _ENV_ASSIGN_RE — removed
re.IGNORECASE and changed [A-Z_]* to [A-Z0-9_]* to restrict matching to actual
env var name chars. Without this, the pattern backtracks exponentially on large
strings (e.g. 100K tool output), causing test_file_read_guards to time out.
- tools/file_operations.py: over-escaped newline in find -printf format string
produced literal backslash-n instead of a real newline, breaking file search
result parsing (total_count always 1, paths concatenated).
Test fixes:
- Remove stale pytestmark.skip from 4 test modules that were blanket-skipped as
'Hangs in non-interactive environments' but actually run fine:
- test_413_compression.py (12 tests, 25s)
- test_file_tools_live.py (71 tests, 24s)
- test_code_execution.py (61 tests, 99s)
- test_agent_loop_tool_calling.py (has proper OPENROUTER_API_KEY skip already)
- test_413_compression.py: fix threshold values in 2 preflight compression tests
where context_length was too small for the compressed output to fit in one pass.
- test_mcp_probe.py: add missing _MCP_AVAILABLE mock so tests work without MCP SDK.
- test_mcp_tool_issue_948.py: inject MCP symbols (StdioServerParameters etc.) when
SDK is not installed so patch() targets exist.
- test_approve_deny_commands.py: replace time.sleep(0.3) with deterministic polling
of _gateway_queues — fixes race condition where resolve fires before threads
register their approval entries, causing the test to hang indefinitely.
Net effect: +256 tests recovered from skip, 8 real failures fixed.
Address review feedback: replace bare `except: pass` with a debug
log when the post-retry write-back to ~/.claude/.credentials.json
fails. The write-back is best-effort (token is already resolved),
but logging helps troubleshooting.

OAuth refresh tokens are single-use. When multiple consumers share the
same Anthropic OAuth session (credential pool entries, Claude Code CLI,
multiple Hermes profiles), whichever refreshes first invalidates the
refresh token for all others. This causes a cascade:
1. Pool entry tries to refresh with a consumed refresh token → 400
2. Pool marks the credential as "exhausted" with a 24-hour cooldown
3. All subsequent heartbeats skip the credential entirely
4. The fallback to resolve_anthropic_token() only works while the
access token in ~/.claude/.credentials.json hasn't expired
5. Once it expires, nothing can auto-recover without manual re-login
Fix:
- Add _sync_anthropic_entry_from_credentials_file() to detect when
~/.claude/.credentials.json has a newer refresh token and sync it
into the pool entry, clearing exhaustion status
- After a successful pool refresh, write the new tokens back to
~/.claude/.credentials.json so other consumers stay in sync
- On refresh failure, check if the credentials file has a different
(newer) refresh token and retry once before marking exhausted
- In _available_entries(), sync exhausted claude_code entries from
the credentials file before applying the 24-hour cooldown, so a
manual re-login or external refresh immediately unblocks agents

Two pre-existing issues causing test_file_read_guards timeouts on CI:
1. agent/redact.py: _ENV_ASSIGN_RE used unbounded [A-Z_]* with
IGNORECASE, matching any letter/underscore to end-of-string at
each position → O(n²) backtracking on 100K+ char inputs.
Bounded to {0,50} since env var names are never that long.
2. tools/file_tools.py: redact_sensitive_text() ran BEFORE the
character-count guard, so oversized content (that would be rejected
anyway) went through the expensive regex first. Reordered to check
size limit before redaction.
The Anthropic SDK appends /v1/messages to the base_url, so OpenCode's
base URL https://opencode.ai/zen/go/v1 produced a double /v1 path
(https://opencode.ai/zen/go/v1/v1/messages), causing 404s for MiniMax
models. Strip trailing /v1 when api_mode is anthropic_messages.
Also adds MiMo-V2-Pro, MiMo-V2-Omni, and MiniMax-M2.5 to the OpenCode
Go model lists per their updated docs.
Fixes#4890
Three interconnected bugs caused `hermes skills config` per-platform
settings to be silently ignored:
1. telegram_menu_commands() never filtered disabled skills — all skills
consumed menu slots regardless of platform config, hitting Telegram's
100 command cap. Now loads disabled skills for 'telegram' and excludes
them from the menu.
2. Gateway skill dispatch executed disabled skills because
get_skill_commands() (process-global cache) only filters by the global
disabled list at scan time. Added per-platform check before execution,
returning an actionable 'skill is disabled' message.
3. get_disabled_skill_names() only checked HERMES_PLATFORM env var, but
the gateway sets HERMES_SESSION_PLATFORM instead. Added
HERMES_SESSION_PLATFORM as fallback, plus an explicit platform=
parameter for callers that know their platform (menu builder, gateway
dispatch). Also added platform to prompt_builder's skills cache key
so multi-platform gateways get correct per-platform skill prompts.

* feat(memory): add pluggable memory provider interface with profile isolation
Introduces a pluggable MemoryProvider ABC so external memory backends can
integrate with Hermes without modifying core files. Each backend becomes a
plugin implementing a standard interface, orchestrated by MemoryManager.
Key architecture:
- agent/memory_provider.py — ABC with core + optional lifecycle hooks
- agent/memory_manager.py — single integration point in the agent loop
- agent/builtin_memory_provider.py — wraps existing MEMORY.md/USER.md
Profile isolation fixes applied to all 6 shipped plugins:
- Cognitive Memory: use get_hermes_home() instead of raw env var
- Hindsight Memory: check $HERMES_HOME/hindsight/config.json first,
fall back to legacy ~/.hindsight/ for backward compat
- Hermes Memory Store: replace hardcoded ~/.hermes paths with
get_hermes_home() for config loading and DB path defaults
- Mem0 Memory: use get_hermes_home() instead of raw env var
- RetainDB Memory: auto-derive profile-scoped project name from
hermes_home path (hermes-<profile>), explicit env var overrides
- OpenViking Memory: read-only, no local state, isolation via .env
MemoryManager.initialize_all() now injects hermes_home into kwargs so
every provider can resolve profile-scoped storage without importing
get_hermes_home() themselves.
Plugin system: adds register_memory_provider() to PluginContext and
get_plugin_memory_providers() accessor.
Based on PR #3825. 46 tests (37 unit + 5 E2E + 4 plugin registration).
* refactor(memory): drop cognitive plugin, rewrite OpenViking as full provider
Remove cognitive-memory plugin (#727) — core mechanics are broken:
decay runs 24x too fast (hourly not daily), prefetch uses row ID as
timestamp, search limited by importance not similarity.
Rewrite openviking-memory plugin from a read-only search wrapper into
a full bidirectional memory provider using the complete OpenViking
session lifecycle API:
- sync_turn: records user/assistant messages to OpenViking session
(threaded, non-blocking)
- on_session_end: commits session to trigger automatic memory extraction
into 6 categories (profile, preferences, entities, events, cases,
patterns)
- prefetch: background semantic search via find() endpoint
- on_memory_write: mirrors built-in memory writes to the session
- is_available: checks env var only, no network calls (ABC compliance)
Tools expanded from 3 to 5:
- viking_search: semantic search with mode/scope/limit
- viking_read: tiered content (abstract ~100tok / overview ~2k / full)
- viking_browse: filesystem-style navigation (list/tree/stat)
- viking_remember: explicit memory storage via session
- viking_add_resource: ingest URLs/docs into knowledge base
Uses direct HTTP via httpx (no openviking SDK dependency needed).
Response truncation on viking_read to prevent context flooding.
* fix(memory): harden Mem0 plugin — thread safety, non-blocking sync, circuit breaker
- Remove redundant mem0_context tool (identical to mem0_search with
rerank=true, top_k=5 — wastes a tool slot and confuses the model)
- Thread sync_turn so it's non-blocking — Mem0's server-side LLM
extraction can take 5-10s, was stalling the agent after every turn
- Add threading.Lock around _get_client() for thread-safe lazy init
(prefetch and sync threads could race on first client creation)
- Add circuit breaker: after 5 consecutive API failures, pause calls
for 120s instead of hammering a down server every turn. Auto-resets
after cooldown. Logs a warning when tripped.
- Track success/failure in prefetch, sync_turn, and all tool calls
- Wait for previous sync to finish before starting a new one (prevents
unbounded thread accumulation on rapid turns)
- Clean up shutdown to join both prefetch and sync threads
* fix(memory): enforce single external memory provider limit
MemoryManager now rejects a second non-builtin provider with a warning.
Built-in memory (MEMORY.md/USER.md) is always accepted. Only ONE
external plugin provider is allowed at a time. This prevents tool
schema bloat (some providers add 3-5 tools each) and conflicting
memory backends.
The warning message directs users to configure memory.provider in
config.yaml to select which provider to activate.
Updated all 47 tests to use builtin + one external pattern instead
of multiple externals. Added test_second_external_rejected to verify
the enforcement.
* feat(memory): add ByteRover memory provider plugin
Implements the ByteRover integration (from PR #3499 by hieuntg81) as a
MemoryProvider plugin instead of direct run_agent.py modifications.
ByteRover provides persistent memory via the brv CLI — a hierarchical
knowledge tree with tiered retrieval (fuzzy text then LLM-driven search).
Local-first with optional cloud sync.
Plugin capabilities:
- prefetch: background brv query for relevant context
- sync_turn: curate conversation turns (threaded, non-blocking)
- on_memory_write: mirror built-in memory writes to brv
- on_pre_compress: extract insights before context compression
Tools (3):
- brv_query: search the knowledge tree
- brv_curate: store facts/decisions/patterns
- brv_status: check CLI version and context tree state
Profile isolation: working directory at $HERMES_HOME/byterover/ (scoped
per profile). Binary resolution cached with thread-safe double-checked
locking. All write operations threaded to avoid blocking the agent
(curate can take 120s with LLM processing).
* fix(memory): thread remaining sync_turns, fix holographic, add config key
Plugin fixes:
- Hindsight: thread sync_turn (was blocking up to 30s via _run_in_thread)
- RetainDB: thread sync_turn (was blocking on HTTP POST)
- Both: shutdown now joins sync threads alongside prefetch threads
Holographic retrieval fixes:
- reason(): removed dead intersection_key computation (bundled but never
used in scoring). Now reuses pre-computed entity_residuals directly,
moved role_content encoding outside the inner loop.
- contradict(): added _MAX_CONTRADICT_FACTS=500 scaling guard. Above
500 facts, only checks the most recently updated ones to avoid O(n^2)
explosion (~125K comparisons at 500 is acceptable).
Config:
- Added memory.provider key to DEFAULT_CONFIG ("" = builtin only).
No version bump needed (deep_merge handles new keys automatically).
* feat(memory): extract Honcho as a MemoryProvider plugin
Creates plugins/honcho-memory/ as a thin adapter over the existing
honcho_integration/ package. All 4 Honcho tools (profile, search,
context, conclude) move from the normal tool registry to the
MemoryProvider interface.
The plugin delegates all work to HonchoSessionManager — no Honcho
logic is reimplemented. It uses the existing config chain:
$HERMES_HOME/honcho.json -> ~/.honcho/config.json -> env vars.
Lifecycle hooks:
- initialize: creates HonchoSessionManager via existing client factory
- prefetch: background dialectic query
- sync_turn: records messages + flushes to API (threaded)
- on_memory_write: mirrors user profile writes as conclusions
- on_session_end: flushes all pending messages
This is a prerequisite for the MemoryManager wiring in run_agent.py.
Once wired, Honcho goes through the same provider interface as all
other memory plugins, and the scattered Honcho code in run_agent.py
can be consolidated into the single MemoryManager integration point.
* feat(memory): wire MemoryManager into run_agent.py
Adds 8 integration points for the external memory provider plugin,
all purely additive (zero existing code modified):
1. Init (~L1130): Create MemoryManager, find matching plugin provider
from memory.provider config, initialize with session context
2. Tool injection (~L1160): Append provider tool schemas to self.tools
and self.valid_tool_names after memory_manager init
3. System prompt (~L2705): Add external provider's system_prompt_block
alongside existing MEMORY.md/USER.md blocks
4. Tool routing (~L5362): Route provider tool calls through
memory_manager.handle_tool_call() before the catchall handler
5. Memory write bridge (~L5353): Notify external provider via
on_memory_write() when the built-in memory tool writes
6. Pre-compress (~L5233): Call on_pre_compress() before context
compression discards messages
7. Prefetch (~L6421): Inject provider prefetch results into the
current-turn user message (same pattern as Honcho turn context)
8. Turn sync + session end (~L8161, ~L8172): sync_all() after each
completed turn, queue_prefetch_all() for next turn, on_session_end()
+ shutdown_all() at conversation end
All hooks are wrapped in try/except — a failing provider never breaks
the agent. The existing memory system, Honcho integration, and all
other code paths are completely untouched.
Full suite: 7222 passed, 4 pre-existing failures.
* refactor(memory): remove legacy Honcho integration from core
Extracts all Honcho-specific code from run_agent.py, model_tools.py,
toolsets.py, and gateway/run.py. Honcho is now exclusively available
as a memory provider plugin (plugins/honcho-memory/).
Removed from run_agent.py (-457 lines):
- Honcho init block (session manager creation, activation, config)
- 8 Honcho methods: _honcho_should_activate, _strip_honcho_tools,
_activate_honcho, _register_honcho_exit_hook, _queue_honcho_prefetch,
_honcho_prefetch, _honcho_save_user_observation, _honcho_sync
- _inject_honcho_turn_context module-level function
- Honcho system prompt block (tool descriptions, CLI commands)
- Honcho context injection in api_messages building
- Honcho params from __init__ (honcho_session_key, honcho_manager,
honcho_config)
- HONCHO_TOOL_NAMES constant
- All honcho-specific tool dispatch forwarding
Removed from other files:
- model_tools.py: honcho_tools import, honcho params from handle_function_call
- toolsets.py: honcho toolset definition, honcho tools from core tools list
- gateway/run.py: honcho params from AIAgent constructor calls
Removed tests (-339 lines):
- 9 Honcho-specific test methods from test_run_agent.py
- TestHonchoAtexitFlush class from test_exit_cleanup_interrupt.py
Restored two regex constants (_SURROGATE_RE, _BUDGET_WARNING_RE) that
were accidentally removed during the honcho function extraction.
The honcho_integration/ package is kept intact — the plugin delegates
to it. tools/honcho_tools.py registry entries are now dead code (import
commented out in model_tools.py) but the file is preserved for reference.
Full suite: 7207 passed, 4 pre-existing failures. Zero regressions.
* refactor(memory): restructure plugins, add CLI, clean gateway, migration notice
Plugin restructure:
- Move all memory plugins from plugins/<name>-memory/ to plugins/memory/<name>/
(byterover, hindsight, holographic, honcho, mem0, openviking, retaindb)
- New plugins/memory/__init__.py discovery module that scans the directory
directly, loading providers by name without the general plugin system
- run_agent.py uses load_memory_provider() instead of get_plugin_memory_providers()
CLI wiring:
- hermes memory setup — interactive curses picker + config wizard
- hermes memory status — show active provider, config, availability
- hermes memory off — disable external provider (built-in only)
- hermes honcho — now shows migration notice pointing to hermes memory setup
Gateway cleanup:
- Remove _get_or_create_gateway_honcho (already removed in prev commit)
- Remove _shutdown_gateway_honcho and _shutdown_all_gateway_honcho methods
- Remove all calls to shutdown methods (4 call sites)
- Remove _honcho_managers/_honcho_configs dict references
Dead code removal:
- Delete tools/honcho_tools.py (279 lines, import was already commented out)
- Delete tests/gateway/test_honcho_lifecycle.py (131 lines, tested removed methods)
- Remove if False placeholder from run_agent.py
Migration:
- Honcho migration notice on startup: detects existing honcho.json or
~/.honcho/config.json, prints guidance to run hermes memory setup.
Only fires when memory.provider is not set and not in quiet mode.
Full suite: 7203 passed, 4 pre-existing failures. Zero regressions.
* feat(memory): standardize plugin config + add per-plugin documentation
Config architecture:
- Add save_config(values, hermes_home) to MemoryProvider ABC
- Honcho: writes to $HERMES_HOME/honcho.json (SDK native)
- Mem0: writes to $HERMES_HOME/mem0.json
- Hindsight: writes to $HERMES_HOME/hindsight/config.json
- Holographic: writes to config.yaml under plugins.hermes-memory-store
- OpenViking/RetainDB/ByteRover: env-var only (default no-op)
Setup wizard (hermes memory setup):
- Now calls provider.save_config() for non-secret config
- Secrets still go to .env via env vars
- Only memory.provider activation key goes to config.yaml
Documentation:
- README.md for each of the 7 providers in plugins/memory/<name>/
- Requirements, setup (wizard + manual), config reference, tools table
- Consistent format across all providers
The contract for new memory plugins:
- get_config_schema() declares all fields (REQUIRED)
- save_config() writes native config (REQUIRED if not env-var-only)
- Secrets use env_var field in schema, written to .env by wizard
- README.md in the plugin directory
* docs: add memory providers user guide + developer guide
New pages:
- user-guide/features/memory-providers.md — comprehensive guide covering
all 7 shipped providers (Honcho, OpenViking, Mem0, Hindsight,
Holographic, RetainDB, ByteRover). Each with setup, config, tools,
cost, and unique features. Includes comparison table and profile
isolation notes.
- developer-guide/memory-provider-plugin.md — how to build a new memory
provider plugin. Covers ABC, required methods, config schema,
save_config, threading contract, profile isolation, testing.
Updated pages:
- user-guide/features/memory.md — replaced Honcho section with link to
new Memory Providers page
- user-guide/features/honcho.md — replaced with migration redirect to
the new Memory Providers page
- sidebars.ts — added both new pages to navigation
* fix(memory): auto-migrate Honcho users to memory provider plugin
When honcho.json or ~/.honcho/config.json exists but memory.provider
is not set, automatically set memory.provider: honcho in config.yaml
and activate the plugin. The plugin reads the same config files, so
all data and credentials are preserved. Zero user action needed.
Persists the migration to config.yaml so it only fires once. Prints
a one-line confirmation in non-quiet mode.
* fix(memory): only auto-migrate Honcho when enabled + credentialed
Check HonchoClientConfig.enabled AND (api_key OR base_url) before
auto-migrating — not just file existence. Prevents false activation
for users who disabled Honcho, stopped using it (config lingers),
or have ~/.honcho/ from a different tool.
* feat(memory): auto-install pip dependencies during hermes memory setup
Reads pip_dependencies from plugin.yaml, checks which are missing,
installs them via pip before config walkthrough. Also shows install
guidance for external_dependencies (e.g. brv CLI for ByteRover).
Updated all 7 plugin.yaml files with pip_dependencies:
- honcho: honcho-ai
- mem0: mem0ai
- openviking: httpx
- hindsight: hindsight-client
- holographic: (none)
- retaindb: requests
- byterover: (external_dependencies for brv CLI)
* fix: remove remaining Honcho crash risks from cli.py and gateway
cli.py: removed Honcho session re-mapping block (would crash importing
deleted tools/honcho_tools.py), Honcho flush on compress, Honcho
session display on startup, Honcho shutdown on exit, honcho_session_key
AIAgent param.
gateway/run.py: removed honcho_session_key params from helper methods,
sync_honcho param, _honcho.shutdown() block.
tests: fixed test_cron_session_with_honcho_key_skipped (was passing
removed honcho_key param to _flush_memories_for_session).
* fix: include plugins/ in pyproject.toml package list
Without this, plugins/memory/ wouldn't be included in non-editable
installs. Hermes always runs from the repo checkout so this is belt-
and-suspenders, but prevents breakage if the install method changes.
* fix(memory): correct pip-to-import name mapping for dep checks
The heuristic dep.replace('-', '_') fails for packages where the pip
name differs from the import name: honcho-ai→honcho, mem0ai→mem0,
hindsight-client→hindsight_client. Added explicit mapping table so
hermes memory setup doesn't try to reinstall already-installed packages.
* chore: remove dead code from old plugin memory registration path
- hermes_cli/plugins.py: removed register_memory_provider(),
_memory_providers list, get_plugin_memory_providers() — memory
providers now use plugins/memory/ discovery, not the general plugin system
- hermes_cli/main.py: stripped 74 lines of dead honcho argparse
subparsers (setup, status, sessions, map, peer, mode, tokens,
identity, migrate) — kept only the migration redirect
- agent/memory_provider.py: updated docstring to reflect new
registration path
- tests: replaced TestPluginMemoryProviderRegistration with
TestPluginMemoryDiscovery that tests the actual plugins/memory/
discovery system. Added 3 new tests (discover, load, nonexistent).
* chore: delete dead honcho_integration/cli.py and its tests
cli.py (794 lines) was the old 'hermes honcho' command handler — nobody
calls it since cmd_honcho was replaced with a migration redirect.
Deleted tests that imported from removed code:
- tests/honcho_integration/test_cli.py (tested _resolve_api_key)
- tests/honcho_integration/test_config_isolation.py (tested CLI config paths)
- tests/tools/test_honcho_tools.py (tested the deleted tools/honcho_tools.py)
Remaining honcho_integration/ files (actively used by the plugin):
- client.py (445 lines) — config loading, SDK client creation
- session.py (991 lines) — session management, queries, flush
* refactor: move honcho_integration/ into the honcho plugin
Moves client.py (445 lines) and session.py (991 lines) from the
top-level honcho_integration/ package into plugins/memory/honcho/.
No Honcho code remains in the main codebase.
- plugins/memory/honcho/client.py — config loading, SDK client creation
- plugins/memory/honcho/session.py — session management, queries, flush
- Updated all imports: run_agent.py (auto-migration), hermes_cli/doctor.py,
plugin __init__.py, session.py cross-import, all tests
- Removed honcho_integration/ package and pyproject.toml entry
- Renamed tests/honcho_integration/ → tests/honcho_plugin/
* docs: update architecture + gateway-internals for memory provider system
- architecture.md: replaced honcho_integration/ with plugins/memory/
- gateway-internals.md: replaced Honcho-specific session routing and
flush lifecycle docs with generic memory provider interface docs
* fix: update stale mock path for resolve_active_host after honcho plugin migration
* fix(memory): address review feedback — P0 lifecycle, ABC contract, honcho CLI restore
Review feedback from Honcho devs (erosika):
P0 — Provider lifecycle:
- Remove on_session_end() + shutdown_all() from run_conversation() tail
(was killing providers after every turn in multi-turn sessions)
- Add shutdown_memory_provider() method on AIAgent for callers
- Wire shutdown into CLI atexit, reset_conversation, gateway stop/expiry
Bug fixes:
- Remove sync_honcho=False kwarg from /btw callsites (TypeError crash)
- Fix doctor.py references to dead 'hermes honcho setup' command
- Cache prefetch_all() before tool loop (was re-calling every iteration)
ABC contract hardening (all backwards-compatible):
- Add session_id kwarg to prefetch/sync_turn/queue_prefetch
- Make on_pre_compress() return str (provider insights in compression)
- Add **kwargs to on_turn_start() for runtime context
- Add on_delegation() hook for parent-side subagent observation
- Document agent_context/agent_identity/agent_workspace kwargs on
initialize() (prevents cron corruption, enables profile scoping)
- Fix docstring: single external provider, not multiple
Honcho CLI restoration:
- Add plugins/memory/honcho/cli.py (from main's honcho_integration/cli.py
with imports adapted to plugin path)
- Restore full hermes honcho command with all subcommands (status, peer,
mode, tokens, identity, enable/disable, sync, peers, --target-profile)
- Restore auto-clone on profile creation + sync on hermes update
- hermes honcho setup now redirects to hermes memory setup
* fix(memory): wire on_delegation, skip_memory for cron/flush, fix ByteRover return type
- Wire on_delegation() in delegate_tool.py — parent's memory provider
is notified with task+result after each subagent completes
- Add skip_memory=True to cron scheduler (prevents cron system prompts
from corrupting user representations — closes#4052)
- Add skip_memory=True to gateway flush agent (throwaway agent shouldn't
activate memory provider)
- Fix ByteRover on_pre_compress() return type: None -> str
* fix(honcho): port profile isolation fixes from PR #4632
Ports 5 bug fixes found during profile testing (erosika's PR #4632):
1. 3-tier config resolution — resolve_config_path() now checks
$HERMES_HOME/honcho.json → ~/.hermes/honcho.json → ~/.honcho/config.json
(non-default profiles couldn't find shared host blocks)
2. Thread host=_host_key() through from_global_config() in cmd_setup,
cmd_status, cmd_identity (--target-profile was being ignored)
3. Use bare profile name as aiPeer (not host key with dots) — Honcho's
peer ID pattern is ^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$, dots are invalid
4. Wrap add_peers() in try/except — was fatal on new AI peers, killed
all message uploads for the session
5. Gate Honcho clone behind --clone/--clone-all on profile create
(bare create should be blank-slate)
Also: sanitize assistant_peer_id via _sanitize_id()
* fix(tests): add module cleanup fixture to test_cli_provider_resolution
test_cli_provider_resolution._import_cli() wipes tools.*, cli, and
run_agent from sys.modules to force fresh imports, but had no cleanup.
This poisoned all subsequent tests on the same xdist worker — mocks
targeting tools.file_tools, tools.send_message_tool, etc. patched the
NEW module object while already-imported functions still referenced
the OLD one. Caused ~25 cascade failures: send_message KeyError,
process_registry FileNotFoundError, file_read_guards timeouts,
read_loop_detection file-not-found, mcp_oauth None port, and
provider_parity/codex_execution stale tool lists.
Fix: autouse fixture saves all affected modules before each test and
restores them after, matching the pattern in
test_managed_browserbase_and_modal.py.
Anthropic extended thinking blocks include an opaque 'signature' field
required for thinking chain continuity across multi-turn tool-use
conversations. Previously, normalize_anthropic_response() extracted
only the thinking text and set reasoning_details=None, discarding the
signature. On subsequent turns the API could not verify the chain.
Changes:
- _to_plain_data(): new recursive SDK-to-dict converter with depth cap
(20 levels) and path-based cycle detection for safety
- _extract_preserved_thinking_blocks(): rehydrates preserved thinking
blocks (including signature) from reasoning_details on assistant
messages, placing them before tool_use blocks as Anthropic requires
- normalize_anthropic_response(): stores full thinking blocks in
reasoning_details via _to_plain_data()
- _extract_reasoning(): adds 'thinking' key to the detail lookup chain
so Anthropic-format details are found alongside OpenRouter format
Salvaged from PR #4503 by @priveperfumes — focused on the thinking
block continuity fix only (cache strategy and other changes excluded).
Setup wizard now shows existing allowed_users when reconfiguring a
platform and preserves them if the user presses Enter. Previously the
wizard would display a misleading "No allowlist set" warning even when
the .env still held the original IDs.
Also downgrades the "provider X has no API key configured" log from
WARNING to DEBUG in resolve_provider_client — callers already handle
the None return with their own contextual messages. This eliminates
noisy startup warnings for providers in the fallback chain that the
user never configured (e.g. minimax).
- Add missing `from agent.credential_pool import load_pool` import to
auxiliary_client.py (introduced by the credential pool feature in main)
- Thread `args` through `select_provider_and_model(args=None)` so TLS
options from `cmd_model` reach `_model_flow_nous`
- Mock `_require_tty` in test_cmd_model_forwards_nous_login_tls_options
so it can run in non-interactive test environments

OpenAI's newer models (GPT-5, Codex) give stronger instruction-following
weight to the 'developer' role vs 'system'. Swap the role at the API
boundary in _build_api_kwargs() for the chat_completions path so internal
message representation stays consistent ('system' everywhere).
Applies regardless of provider — OpenRouter, Nous portal, direct, etc.
The codex_responses path (direct OpenAI) uses 'instructions' instead of
message roles, so it's unaffected.
DEVELOPER_ROLE_MODELS constant in prompt_builder.py defines the matching
model name substrings: ('gpt-5', 'codex').
When PyYAML is unavailable or YAML frontmatter is malformed, the fallback
parser may return metadata as a string instead of a dict. This causes
AttributeError when calling .get("hermes") on the string.
Added explicit type checks to handle cases where metadata or hermes fields
are not dicts, preventing the crash.

The total_tokens field includes cache_read + cache_write tokens, but
the display only showed input + output — making the math look wrong
(e.g. 765K + 134K displayed but total said 9.2M). Now shows a cache
line when cache tokens are present so all visible numbers sum to the
displayed total.
Affects both terminal (hermes insights) and gateway (/insights)
formats.
Show inline diffs in the CLI transcript when write_file, patch, or
skill_manage modifies files. Captures a filesystem snapshot before the
tool runs, computes a unified diff after, and renders it with ANSI
coloring in the activity feed.
Adds tool_start_callback and tool_complete_callback hooks to AIAgent
for pre/post tool execution notifications.
Also fixes _extract_parallel_scope_path to normalize relative paths
to absolute, preventing the parallel overlap detection from missing
conflicts when the same file is referenced with different path styles.
Gated by display.inline_diffs config option (default: true).
Based on PR #3774 by @kshitijk4poor.
