Authored by Himess. Three independent fixes:
- cron/jobs.py: respect HERMES_HOME env var (consistent with scheduler.py)
- gateway/run.py: add Platform.HOMEASSISTANT to toolset mappings
- tools/environments/daytona.py: use time.monotonic() for timeout deadline
Added support for loading reasoning configuration, prefill messages, and provider routing from environment variables or config.yaml in the run_job function. This improves flexibility and customization for job execution, allowing for better control over agent behavior and message handling.
Authored by areu01or00. Adds timezone support via hermes_time.now() helper
with IANA timezone resolution (HERMES_TIMEZONE env → config.yaml → server-local).
Updates system prompt timestamp, cron scheduling, and execute_code sandbox TZ
injection. Includes config migration (v4→v5) and comprehensive test coverage.
1. cron/jobs.py: respect HERMES_HOME env var for job storage path.
scheduler.py already uses os.getenv("HERMES_HOME", ...) but jobs.py
hardcodes Path.home() / ".hermes", causing path mismatch when
HERMES_HOME is set.
2. gateway/run.py: add Platform.HOMEASSISTANT to default_toolset_map
and platform_config_key. The adapter and hermes-homeassistant
toolset both exist but the mapping dicts omit it, so HomeAssistant
events silently fall back to the Telegram toolset.
3. tools/environments/daytona.py: use time.monotonic() for deadline
instead of float subtraction. All other backends (docker, ssh,
singularity, local) use monotonic clock for timeout tracking.
The accumulator pattern (deadline -= 0.2) drifts because
t.join(0.2) + interrupt checks take longer than 0.2s per iteration.
Authored by alireza78a. When flock() raises on a concurrent tick, the
file descriptor was leaked because the except clause returned without
closing it. Adds lock_fd=None init and close in the except path.
Both entry points hardcoded Path.home() / ".hermes" for .env, config.yaml,
logs, and lock files. Now uses _hermes_home which reads HERMES_HOME env var
with ~/.hermes as default, matching cli.py and run_agent.py.

- Implemented dynamic loading of environment variables and configuration settings for job execution, allowing for real-time updates without restarting the gateway.
- Enhanced model and API configuration retrieval from both environment variables and a YAML configuration file, improving flexibility and adaptability of the job execution process.
- Introduced a new channel directory to cache reachable channels/contacts for messaging platforms, enhancing the send_message tool's ability to resolve human-friendly names to numeric IDs.
- Added functionality to mirror sent messages into the target's session transcript, providing context for cross-platform message delivery.
- Updated the send_message tool to support listing available targets and improved error handling for channel resolution.
- Enhanced the gateway to build and refresh the channel directory during startup and at regular intervals, ensuring up-to-date channel information.
- Enhanced warning in `_deliver_result` to provide clearer instructions for setting the home channel.
- Updated error message in `send_message_tool` to specify how to set a home channel when no chat ID is provided, improving user guidance.
- Introduced a new `_deliver_result` function to handle job output delivery to specified platforms.
- Added origin resolution logic to determine the correct delivery target based on job configuration.
- Updated `run_job` to return the final response along with the output for improved context.
- Integrated delivery of job results to the origin chat or fallback channels, with error handling for delivery failures.
- Cleaned up environment variables after job execution to prevent leakage between jobs.
- Removed legacy cron daemon functionality, integrating cron job execution directly into the gateway process for improved efficiency.
- Updated CLI commands to reflect changes, replacing `hermes cron daemon` with `hermes cron status` and enhancing documentation for cron job management.
- Clarified messaging in the README and other documentation regarding the gateway's role in managing cron jobs.
- Removed obsolete terminal_hecate tool and related configurations to simplify the codebase.
- Introduced logging functionality in cli.py, run_agent.py, scheduler.py, and various tool modules to replace print statements with structured logging.
- Enhanced error handling and informational messages to improve debugging and monitoring capabilities.
- Ensured consistent logging practices across the codebase, facilitating better traceability and maintenance.
- Added `max_tokens`, `reasoning_config`, and `prefill_messages` parameters to `BatchRunner` and `AIAgent` for improved model response control.
- Updated CLI to support new options for reasoning effort and prefill messages from a JSON file.
- Modified example configuration files to reflect changes in default model and summary model.
- Improved error handling for loading prefill messages and reasoning configurations in the CLI.
- Updated documentation to include new parameters and usage examples.
- 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).
- Implemented a gateway system for handling messaging interactions, including session management and delivery routing for cron job outputs.
- Added support for environment variable configuration and a dedicated gateway configuration file for advanced settings.
- Enhanced documentation in README.md and added a new messaging.md file to guide users on platform integrations and setup.
- Updated toolsets to include platform-specific capabilities for Telegram, Discord, and WhatsApp, ensuring secure and tailored interactions.
- Introduced a new cron job system allowing users to schedule automated tasks via the CLI, supporting one-time reminders and recurring jobs.
- Added commands for managing cron jobs: `/cron` to list jobs, `/cron add` to create new jobs, and `/cron remove` to delete jobs.
- Implemented job storage in `~/.hermes/cron/jobs.json` with output saved to `~/.hermes/cron/output/{job_id}/{timestamp}.md`.
- Enhanced the CLI and README documentation to include detailed usage instructions and examples for cron job management.
- Integrated cron job tools into the hermes-cli toolset, ensuring they are only available in interactive CLI mode.
- Added support for cron expression parsing with the `croniter` package, enabling flexible scheduling options.
