- add stt.enabled to the default user config
- make transcription_tools respect the disabled flag globally
- surface disabled state cleanly in voice mode diagnostics
- add regression coverage for disabled STT provider selection
- mark private-channel scopes/events as optional
- note reinstall requirement after scope/event changes
- correct Slack allowlist messaging to match gateway behavior
- Add background thread mechanism (prefetch_update_check/get_update_result)
so git fetch runs in parallel with skill sync and agent init
- Fix repo path fallback in check_for_updates() for dev installs
- Remove duplicate build_welcome_banner (~180 lines) and
_format_context_length from cli.py — the banner.py version is
now the single source of truth
- Port skin banner_hero/banner_logo support and terminal width check
from cli.py's version into banner.py
- Add update status output to hermes version command
- Add unit tests for update check, prefetch, and version string
Add base_url/api_key overrides for auxiliary tasks and delegation so users can
route those flows straight to a custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint without
having to rely on provider=main or named custom providers.
Also clear gateway session env vars in test isolation so the full suite stays
deterministic when run from a messaging-backed agent session.
Moonshot (legacy key) users were shown kimi-for-coding and
kimi-k2-thinking-turbo which only work on the Coding Plan endpoint
(api.kimi.com/coding/v1). Add a separate "moonshot" model list that
excludes plan-specific models.
`hermes update` crashed with CalledProcessError when run on a local-only
branch (e.g. fix/stoicneko) because `git rev-list HEAD..origin/{branch}`
fails when origin/{branch} doesn't exist. Now verifies the remote branch
exists first and falls back to origin/main.
Fixes#1005
Without linger, user-level systemd services stop when the SSH session
ends — even though systemctl --user status shows active (running).
Changes to systemd_install():
- Try loginctl enable-linger automatically (succeeds when the process
has the required privileges)
- If loginctl fails (no privileges), print a clear, copy-pasteable
warning with the exact command the user must run
New helper: _ensure_linger_enabled()
- Fast path: checks /var/lib/systemd/linger/<user> (no subprocess)
- Auto-enable: loginctl enable-linger <user>
- Fallback: actionable warning with sudo command + restart instructions
Tests: 4 new tests in TestEnsureLingerEnabled, 205 passed total
Keep the argparse CLI aligned with the slash command so --yes and -y
behave the same as --force for hermes skills install.
Add a parser-level regression test.
Salvaged from PR #1007 by stablegenius49.
- let INSTALL_POLICY decide dangerous verdict handling for builtin skills
- allow --force to override blocked dangerous decisions for trusted and community sources
- accept --yes / -y as aliases for --force in /skills install
- update regression tests to match the intended policy precedence
Follow up on salvaged PR #1012.
Prevents raw custom-provider names from intercepting built-in provider ids,
and keeps the regression coverage focused on current-main behavior.
Add regression coverage for the new provider-aware vision setup flow and make the default OpenAI choice write AUXILIARY_VISION_MODEL so auxiliary vision requests don't fall back to the main model slug.
The old flow blindly asked for an OpenRouter API key after ANY non-OR
provider selection, even for Nous Portal and Codex which already
support vision natively. This was confusing and annoying.
New behavior:
- OpenRouter: skip — vision uses Gemini via their OR key
- Nous Portal OAuth: skip — vision uses Gemini via Nous
- OpenAI Codex: skip — gpt-5.3-codex supports vision
- Custom endpoint (api.openai.com): show OpenAI vision model picker
(gpt-4o, gpt-4o-mini, gpt-4.1, etc.), saves AUXILIARY_VISION_MODEL
- Custom (other) / z.ai / kimi / minimax / nous-api:
- First checks if existing OR/Nous creds already cover vision
- If not, offers friendly choice: OpenRouter / OpenAI / Skip
- No more 'enter OpenRouter key' thrown in your face
Also fixes the setup summary to check actual vision availability
across all providers instead of hardcoding 'requires OPENROUTER_API_KEY'.
MoA still correctly requires OpenRouter (calls multiple frontier models).
Update the unknown-subcommand config help output to use placeholder syntax too,
and extend the placeholder regression tests to cover show_config() and that
fallback help path.
Round out the skills hub integration with:
- richer skills.sh metadata and security surfacing during inspect/install
- generic check/update flows for hub-installed skills
- support for well-known Agent Skills endpoints via /.well-known/skills/index.json
Also persist upstream bundle metadata in the lock file and add
regression coverage plus live-compatible path handling for both
skills.sh aliases and well-known endpoints.
Seed ~/.hermes/SOUL.md when missing, load SOUL only from HERMES_HOME, and inject raw SOUL content without wrapper text. If the file exists but is empty, nothing is added to the system prompt.
- store gateway PID metadata and validate the live process before trusting gateway.pid
- auto-refresh outdated systemd user units before start/restart so installs pick up --replace fixes
- sweep stray manual gateway processes after service stops
- add regression tests for PID validation and service drift recovery
Harden the skills.sh hub adapter by parsing skill detail pages when
search slugs do not map cleanly onto GitHub skill folder names.
This adds detail-page resolution for alias-style skills, improves
inspect metadata from the page itself, and covers the behavior with
regression tests plus live smoke validation for json-render-react.
