Cherry-picked from PR #2065 by @ygd58. Fixes#2062.
dingtalk-stream was required by gateway/platforms/dingtalk.py but not
listed in pyproject.toml, causing ImportError on pip install .[all].
Adds dingtalk extras group following the same pattern as slack/sms/etc.
Add first-class GitHub Copilot and Copilot ACP provider support across
model selection, runtime provider resolution, CLI sessions, delegated
subagents, cron jobs, and the Telegram gateway.
This also normalizes Copilot model catalogs and API modes, introduces a
Copilot ACP OpenAI-compatible shim, and fixes service-mode auth by
resolving Homebrew-installed gh binaries under launchd.

* feat(web): add Parallel as alternative web search/extract backend
Adds Parallel (parallel.ai) as a drop-in alternative to Firecrawl for
web_search and web_extract tools using the official parallel-web SDK.
- Backend selection via WEB_SEARCH_BACKEND env var (auto/parallel/firecrawl)
- Auto mode prefers Firecrawl when both keys present; Parallel when sole backend
- web_crawl remains Firecrawl-only with clear error when unavailable
- Lazy SDK imports, interrupt support, singleton clients
- 16 new unit tests for backend selection and client config
Co-authored-by: s-jag <s-jag@users.noreply.github.com>
* fix: add PARALLEL_API_KEY to config registry and fix web_crawl policy tests
Follow-up for Parallel backend integration:
- Add PARALLEL_API_KEY to OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS (hermes doctor, env blocklist)
- Add to set_config_value api_keys list (hermes config set)
- Add to doctor keys display
- Fix 2 web_crawl policy tests that didn't set FIRECRAWL_API_KEY
(needed now that web_crawl has a Firecrawl availability guard)
* refactor: explicit backend selection via hermes tools, not auto-detect
Replace the auto-detect backend selection with explicit user choice:
- hermes tools saves WEB_SEARCH_BACKEND to .env when user picks a provider
- _get_backend() reads the explicit choice first
- Fallback only for manual/legacy config (uses whichever key is present)
- _is_provider_active() shows [active] for the selected web backend
- Updated tests, docs, and .env.example to remove 'auto' mode language
* refactor: use config.yaml for web backend, not env var
Match the TTS/browser pattern — web.backend is stored in config.yaml
(set by hermes tools), not as a WEB_SEARCH_BACKEND env var.
- _load_web_config() reads web: section from config.yaml
- _get_backend() reads web.backend from config, falls back to key detection
- _configure_provider() saves to config dict (saved to config.yaml)
- _is_provider_active() reads from config dict
- Removed WEB_SEARCH_BACKEND from .env.example, set_config_value, docs
- Updated all tests to mock _load_web_config instead of env vars

Add support for Mattermost (self-hosted Slack alternative) and Matrix
(federated messaging protocol) as messaging platforms.
Mattermost adapter:
- REST API v4 client for posts, files, channels, typing indicators
- WebSocket listener for real-time 'posted' events with reconnect backoff
- Thread support via root_id
- File upload/download with auth-aware caching
- Dedup cache (5min TTL, 2000 entries)
- Full self-hosted instance support
Matrix adapter:
- matrix-nio AsyncClient with sync loop
- Dual auth: access token or user_id + password
- Optional E2EE via matrix-nio[e2e] (libolm)
- Thread support via m.thread (MSC3440)
- Reply support via m.in_reply_to with fallback stripping
- Media upload/download via mxc:// URLs (authenticated v1.11+ endpoint)
- Auto-join on room invite
- DM detection via m.direct account data with sync fallback
- Markdown to HTML conversion
Fixes applied over original PR #1225 by @cyb0rgk1tty:
- Mattermost: add timeout to file downloads, wrap API helpers in
try/except for network errors, download incoming files immediately
with auth headers instead of passing auth-required URLs
- Matrix: use authenticated media endpoint (/_matrix/client/v1/media/),
robust m.direct cache with sync fallback, prefer aiohttp over httpx
Install Matrix support: pip install 'hermes-agent[matrix]'
Mattermost needs no extra deps (uses aiohttp).
Salvaged from PR #1225 by @cyb0rgk1tty with fixes.
Restore the ACP editor-integration implementation that was present on the
original PR branch but did not actually land in main.
Includes:
- acp_adapter/ server, session manager, event bridge, auth, permissions,
and tool helpers
- hermes acp subcommand and hermes-acp entry point
- hermes-acp curated toolset
- ACP registry manifest, setup guide, and ACP test suite
- jupyter-live-kernel data science skill from the original branch
Also updates the revived ACP code for current main by:
- resolving runtime providers through the modern shared provider router
- binding ACP sessions to per-session cwd task overrides
- tracking duplicate same-name tool calls with FIFO IDs
- restoring terminal approval callbacks after prompts
- normalizing supporting docs/skill metadata
Validated with tests/acp and the full pytest suite (-n0).
* fix: Home Assistant event filtering now closed by default
Previously, when no watch_domains or watch_entities were configured,
ALL state_changed events passed through to the agent, causing users
to be flooded with notifications for every HA entity change.
Now events are dropped by default unless the user explicitly configures:
- watch_domains: list of domains to monitor (e.g. climate, light)
- watch_entities: list of specific entity IDs to monitor
- watch_all: true (new option — opt-in to receive all events)
A warning is logged at connect time if no filters are configured,
guiding users to set up their HA platform config.
All 49 gateway HA tests + 52 HA tool tests pass.
* docs: update Home Assistant integration documentation
- homeassistant.md: Fix event filtering docs to reflect closed-by-default
behavior. Add watch_all option. Replace Python dict config example with
YAML. Fix defaults table (was incorrectly showing 'all'). Add required
configuration warning admonition.
- environment-variables.md: Add HASS_TOKEN and HASS_URL to Messaging section.
- messaging/index.md: Add Home Assistant to description, architecture
diagram, platform toolsets table, and Next Steps links.
* fix(terminal): strip provider env vars from background and PTY subprocesses
Extends the env var blocklist from #1157 to also cover the two remaining
leaky paths in process_registry.py:
- spawn_local() PTY path (line 156)
- spawn_local() background Popen path (line 197)
Both were still using raw os.environ, leaking provider vars to background
processes and interactive PTY sessions. Now uses the same dynamic
_HERMES_PROVIDER_ENV_BLOCKLIST from local.py.
Explicit env_vars passed to spawn_local() still override the blocklist,
matching the existing behavior for callers that intentionally need these.
Gap identified by PR #1004 (@PeterFile).
* feat(delegate): add observability metadata to subagent results
Enrich delegate_task results with metadata from the child AIAgent:
- model: which model the child used
- exit_reason: completed | interrupted | max_iterations
- tokens.input / tokens.output: token counts
- tool_trace: per-tool-call trace with byte sizes and ok/error status
Tool trace uses tool_call_id matching to correctly pair parallel tool
calls with their results, with a fallback for messages without IDs.
Cherry-picked from PR #872 by @omerkaz, with fixes:
- Fixed parallel tool call trace pairing (was always updating last entry)
- Removed redundant 'iterations' field (identical to existing 'api_calls')
- Added test for parallel tool call trace correctness

* feat(stt): add free local whisper transcription via faster-whisper
Replace OpenAI-only STT with a dual-provider system mirroring the TTS
architecture (Edge TTS free / ElevenLabs paid):
STT: faster-whisper local (free, default) / OpenAI Whisper API (paid)
Changes:
- tools/transcription_tools.py: Full rewrite with provider dispatch,
config loading, local faster-whisper backend, and OpenAI API backend.
Auto-downloads model (~150MB for 'base') on first voice message.
Singleton model instance reused across calls.
- pyproject.toml: Add faster-whisper>=1.0.0 as core dependency
- hermes_cli/config.py: Expand stt config to match TTS pattern with
provider selection and per-provider model settings
- agent/context_compressor.py: Fix .strip() crash when LLM returns
non-string content (dict from llama.cpp, None). Fixes#1100 partially.
- tests/: 23 new tests for STT providers + 2 for compressor fix
- docs/: Updated Voice & TTS page with STT provider table, model sizes,
config examples, and fallback behavior
Fallback behavior:
- Local not installed → OpenAI API (if key set)
- OpenAI key not set → local whisper (if installed)
- Neither → graceful error message to user

The tinker-atropos submodule and its heavy dependencies (atroposlib, tinker,
wandb, fastapi, uvicorn) were being installed for all users by default,
adding significant install time and disk usage for most users who don't
need RL training capabilities.
Changes:
- install.sh: Only init mini-swe-agent submodule by default; skip
tinker-atropos clone and install entirely
- install.sh: Remove --recurse-submodules from git clone (only fetches
what's needed)
- pyproject.toml: Add [rl] optional dependency group for explicit opt-in
- rl_training_tool.py: Move LOGS_DIR.mkdir() from module-level to lazy
init (_ensure_logs_dir) to avoid side effects on import
- README.md: Update contributor quick start to not auto-fetch
tinker-atropos; add RL opt-in instructions
Users who want RL training can opt in with:
git submodule update --init tinker-atropos
uv pip install -e ./tinker-atropos
- Update __version__ to 0.2.0 (was 0.1.0)
- Update pyproject.toml to match
- Add RELEASE_v0.2.0.md with comprehensive changelog covering:
- All 231 merged PRs
- 120 resolved issues
- 74+ contributors credited
- Organized by feature area with PR links
Adds pytest-xdist to dev dependencies and -n auto to default pytest addopts
for parallel test execution across CPU cores.

- Add `agent`, `tools.*`, `gateway.*` to packages.find include
- Add `hermes_state`, `hermes_time`, `mini_swe_runner`, `rl_cli`, `utils` to py-modules
- Move rl_training_tool LOGS_DIR to ~/.hermes/logs/rl_training/ (was writing
into the package source tree, which fails on read-only installs)
These were masked in development (editable installs see the whole source tree)
but broke any non-editable install like `pip install .` or wheel builds.

- Add agent/embeddings.py with Embedder protocol, FastEmbedEmbedder, OpenAIEmbedder
- Factory function get_embedder() reads provider from config.yaml embeddings section
- Lazy initialization — no startup impact, model loaded on first embed call
- cosine_similarity() and cosine_similarity_matrix() utility functions included
- Add fastembed as optional dependency in pyproject.toml
- 30 unit tests, all passing
Closes#675
Authored by shitcoinsherpa. Imports winpty.PtyProcess on Windows instead
of ptyprocess.PtyProcess, and adds platform markers to the [pty] extra
so the correct package is installed automatically.
~2min sequential runs were painful. Added pytest-xdist and -n auto
to run across all available cores. Tests already isolate state via
tmp_path fixtures so no changes needed to test code.
Local: 2677 passed in ~30s. CI gets 4 vCPUs on ubuntu-latest.
MCP tests import from mcp.types but mcp wasn't in the dev optional
dependencies. Fresh 'pip install -e .[dev]' setups failed 3 tests.
Based on PR #427 by @teyrebaz33 (applied manually due to stale branch).
Adds eval-only benchmark for YC-Bench (collinear-ai/yc-bench), a
deterministic long-horizon benchmark where the agent acts as CEO of an
AI startup over a simulated 1-3 year run.
Key design decisions verified against the official yc-bench repo:
- Uses 'sim init' (NOT 'yc-bench run') to avoid starting a competing
built-in agent loop
- Correct DB table names: 'companies' and 'sim_events'
- Correct 4 domains: research, inference, data_environment, training
- Penalty values are preset-dependent (not hardcoded in system prompt)
- Sequential evaluation (each run is 100-500 turns)
- Follows TerminalBench2 patterns: KeyboardInterrupt handling,
cleanup_all_environments(), tqdm logging handler, streaming JSONL
yc-bench added as optional dependency: pip install hermes-agent[yc-bench]
Closes#340
Authored by rovle. Adds Daytona as the sixth terminal execution backend
with cloud sandboxes, persistent workspaces, and full CLI/gateway integration.
Includes 24 unit tests and 8 integration tests.
ptyprocess depends on Unix-only APIs (fork, openpty) and cannot work
on Windows at all. pywinpty provides a compatible PtyProcess interface
using the Windows ConPTY API.
This conditionally imports winpty.PtyProcess on Windows and
ptyprocess.PtyProcess on Unix. The pyproject.toml pty extra now uses
platform markers so the correct package is installed automatically.
Connect to external MCP servers via stdio transport, discover their tools
at startup, and register them into the hermes-agent tool registry.
- New tools/mcp_tool.py: config loading, server connection via background
event loop, tool handler factories, discovery, and graceful shutdown
- model_tools.py: trigger MCP discovery after built-in tool imports
- cli.py: call shutdown_mcp_servers in _run_cleanup
- pyproject.toml: add mcp>=1.2.0 as optional dependency
- 27 unit tests covering config, schema conversion, handlers, registration,
SDK interaction, toolset injection, graceful fallback, and shutdown
Config format (in ~/.hermes/config.yaml):
mcp_servers:
filesystem:
command: "npx"
args: ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", "/tmp"]
- Add ha_list_entities, ha_get_state, ha_call_service tools via REST API
- Add WebSocket gateway adapter for real-time state_changed event monitoring
- Support domain/entity filtering, cooldown, and auto-reconnect with backoff
- Use REST API for outbound notifications to avoid WS race condition
- Gate tool availability on HASS_TOKEN env var
- Add 82 unit tests covering real logic (filtering, payload building, event pipeline)
Opt-in persistent cross-session user modeling via Honcho. Reads
~/.honcho/config.json as single source of truth (shared with
Claude Code, Cursor, and other Honcho-enabled tools). Zero impact
when disabled or unconfigured.
- honcho_integration/ package (client, session manager, peer resolution)
- Host-based config resolution matching claude-honcho/cursor-honcho pattern
- Prefetch user context into system prompt per conversation turn
- Sync user/assistant messages to Honcho after each exchange
- query_user_context tool for mid-conversation dialectic reasoning
- Gated activation: requires ~/.honcho/config.json with enabled=true
New process registry and tool for managing long-running background processes
across all terminal backends (local, Docker, Singularity, Modal, SSH).
Process Registry (tools/process_registry.py):
- ProcessSession tracking with rolling 200KB output buffer
- spawn_local() with optional PTY via ptyprocess for interactive CLIs
- spawn_via_env() for non-local backends (runs inside sandbox, never on host)
- Background reader threads per process (Popen stdout or PTY)
- wait() with timeout clamping, interrupt support, and transparent limit reporting
- JSON checkpoint to ~/.hermes/processes.json for gateway crash recovery
- Module-level singleton shared across agent loop, gateway, and RL
Process Tool (model_tools.py):
- 7 actions: list, poll, log, wait, kill, write, submit
- Paired with terminal in all toolsets (CLI, messaging, RL)
- Timeout clamping with transparent notes in response
Terminal Tool Updates (tools/terminal_tool.py):
- Replaced nohup background mode with registry spawn (returns session_id)
- Added workdir parameter for per-command working directory
- Added check_interval parameter for gateway auto-check watchers
- Added pty parameter for interactive CLI tools (Codex, Claude Code)
- Updated TERMINAL_TOOL_DESCRIPTION with full background workflow docs
- Cleanup thread now respects active background processes (won't reap sandbox)
Gateway Integration (gateway/run.py, session.py, config.py):
- Session reset protection: sessions with active processes exempt from reset
- Default idle timeout increased from 2 hours to 24 hours
- from_dict fallback aligned to match (was 120, now 1440)
- session_key env var propagated to process registry for session mapping
- Crash recovery on gateway startup via checkpoint probe
- check_interval watcher: asyncio task polls process, delivers updates to platform
RL Safety (environments/):
- tool_context.py cleanup() kills background processes on episode end
- hermes_base_env.py warns when enabled_toolsets is None (loads all tools)
- Process tool safe in RL via wait() blocking the agent loop
Also:
- Added ptyprocess as optional dependency (in pyproject.toml [pty] extra + [all])
- Fixed pre-existing bug: rl_test_inference missing from TOOL_TO_TOOLSET_MAP
- Updated AGENTS.md with process management docs and project structure
- Updated README.md terminal section with process management overview

- Improved setup scripts to ensure proper installation of submodules and dependencies, enhancing user experience during setup.
- Changed default Docker, Singularity, and Modal images in configuration files to use "nikolaik/python-nodejs:python3.11-nodejs20" for improved compatibility.
- Updated the default model in the configuration to "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.5" and adjusted related setup prompts for API provider configuration.
- Introduced a new CLI option for selecting a custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint, enhancing flexibility in model provider setup.
- Enhanced the prompt choice functionality to support arrow key navigation for better user experience in CLI interactions.
- Updated documentation in relevant files to reflect these changes and improve user guidance.
- Updated CLI to load configuration from user-specific and project-specific YAML files, prioritizing user settings.
- Introduced a new command `/platforms` to display the status of connected messaging platforms (Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp).
