Part 2 of thread_id forum topic fix: add metadata param to
send_voice, send_image, send_animation, send_typing in Telegram
adapter and pass message_thread_id to all Bot API calls. Update
send_typing signature in Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, HomeAssistant
for compatibility.
Based on the fix proposed by @Bitstreamono in PR #656.
Adds a 'find-nearby' skill for discovering nearby places using
OpenStreetMap (Overpass + Nominatim). No API keys needed. Works with:
- Coordinates (from Telegram location pins)
- Addresses, cities, zip codes, landmarks (auto-geocoded)
- Multiple place types (restaurant, cafe, bar, pharmacy, etc.)
Returns names, distances, cuisine, hours, addresses, and Google Maps
links (pin + directions). 184-line stdlib-only script.
Also adds Telegram location message handling:
- New MessageType.LOCATION in gateway base
- Telegram adapter handles LOCATION and VENUE messages
- Injects lat/lon coordinates into conversation context
- Prompts agent to ask what the user wants nearby
Inspired by PR #422 (reimplemented with simpler script and broader
skill scope — addresses/cities/zips, not just Telegram coordinates).
Telegram: add /insights, /update, /reload_mcp (underscore variant since
Telegram BotCommand names don't allow hyphens).
Discord: add /insights (with days parameter), /reload-mcp.
Also add reload_mcp as an alias for reload-mcp in the gateway command
dispatcher so Telegram's underscore form works, and add resume/provider
to the _known_commands set for hook emission.
Add /title, /resume, /compress, /provider, /usage to Telegram's
set_my_commands so they appear in the / autocomplete menu.
Add /title, /resume, /compress, /provider, /usage, /help as Discord
slash commands so they appear in Discord's native command picker.
These commands were functional via text but not registered with the
platform-native command menus, so users couldn't discover them.
browser_vision now saves screenshots persistently to ~/.hermes/browser_screenshots/
and returns the screenshot_path in its JSON response. The model can include
MEDIA:<path> in its response to share screenshots as native photos.
Changes:
- browser_tool.py: Save screenshots persistently, return screenshot_path,
auto-cleanup files older than 24 hours, mkdir moved inside try/except
- telegram.py: Add send_image_file() — sends local images via bot.send_photo()
- discord.py: Add send_image_file() — sends local images via discord.File
- slack.py: Add send_image_file() — sends local images via files_upload_v2()
(WhatsApp already had send_image_file — no changes needed)
- prompt_builder.py: Updated Telegram hint to list image extensions,
added Discord and Slack MEDIA: platform hints
- browser.md: Document screenshot sharing and 24h cleanup
- send_file_integration_map.md: Updated to reflect send_image_file is now
implemented on Telegram/Discord/Slack
- test_send_image_file.py: 19 tests covering MEDIA: .png extraction,
send_image_file on all platforms, and screenshot cleanup
Partially addresses #466 (Phase 0: platform adapter gaps for send_image_file).
Telegram's send_photo via URL has a ~5MB limit. Upscaled images from
fal.ai's Clarity Upscaler often exceed this, causing 'Wrong type of
web page content' or 'Failed to get http url content' errors.
Fix: Add download-and-upload fallback in Telegram's send_image().
When URL-based send_photo fails, download the image via httpx and
re-upload as bytes (supports up to 10MB file uploads).
Also: convert print() to logger.warning/error in image sending path
for proper log visibility (print goes to socket, invisible in logs).
When MarkdownV2 parsing fails, _strip_mdv2() removes escape backslashes
and bold markers (*text*) but missed italic markers (_text_). Users saw
raw underscores around italic text in the plaintext fallback.
- Add regex to strip _text_ italic markers in _strip_mdv2()
- Use word boundary lookaround to preserve snake_case identifiers
- Add tests for _strip_mdv2 covering italic, bold, snake_case, and edge cases
When Telegram's MarkdownV2 parser rejects a message, the send() fallback
was sending the already-escaped text as plain text. This caused users to
see raw backslashes before every special character (periods, dashes,
parentheses, etc.) — e.g. 'sentence\.' or '\-\-auto\-approve'.
Changes:
- Add _strip_mdv2() to reverse MarkdownV2 escaping for clean plaintext
- Use stripped text in the send() fallback path instead of raw escaped chunk
- Add logging when the MDV2 fallback is triggered for diagnostics
- Add logger to telegram.py (was missing)
The edit_message() fallback already correctly used the original content;
this brings send() in line with that behavior.
Building on PR #288's edit_message() abstraction:
- Telegram: edit_message_text() with MarkdownV2 + plain text fallback
- Discord: channel.fetch_message() + msg.edit() with length capping
- Slack: chat_update() via slack_bolt client
Also fixes the fallback regression in send_progress_messages() where
platforms that don't support editing would receive duplicated accumulated
tool lines. Now uses a can_edit flag — after the first failed edit, falls
back to sending individual lines (matching pre-PR behavior).

The italic regex [^*]+ matched across newlines, corrupting bullet lists
using * markers (e.g. '* Item one\n* Item two' became italic garbage).
Fixed by adding \n to the negated character class: [^*\n]+.
The ImportError fallback set ContextTypes = Any, but then
ContextTypes.DEFAULT_TYPE was used as a type annotation at class
definition time — Any doesn't have .DEFAULT_TYPE, causing AttributeError.
Fix: create a _MockContextTypes class with DEFAULT_TYPE = Any.
Also stub CommandHandler, TelegramMessageHandler, filters, ParseMode,
and ChatType to prevent potential NameErrors.
Fixes#304.
The italic regex \*([^*]+)\* used [^*] which matches newlines, causing
bullet lists with * markers to be incorrectly converted to italic text.
Changed to [^*\n]+ to prevent cross-line matching.
Adds 43 tests for _escape_mdv2 and format_message covering code blocks,
bold/italic, headers, links, mixed formatting, and the regression case.
- Sanitize filenames in cache_document_from_bytes to prevent path traversal (strip directory components, null bytes, resolve check)
- Reject documents with None file_size instead of silently allowing download
- Cap text file injection at 100 KB to prevent oversized prompt payloads
- Sanitize display_name in run.py context notes to block prompt injection via filenames
- Add 35 unit tests covering document cache utilities and Telegram document handling
