Allow users to interact with Hermes by sending and receiving emails.
Uses IMAP polling for incoming messages and SMTP for replies with
proper threading (In-Reply-To, References headers).
Integrates with all 14 gateway extension points: config, adapter
factory, authorization, send_message tool, cron delivery, toolsets,
prompt hints, channel directory, setup wizard, status display, and
env example.
65 tests covering config, parsing, dispatch, threading, IMAP fetch,
SMTP send, attachments, and all integration points.
Authored by shitcoinsherpa. Adds encoding='utf-8' to all text-mode
open() calls in gateway/run.py, gateway/config.py, hermes_cli/config.py,
hermes_cli/main.py, and hermes_cli/status.py. Prevents encoding errors
on Windows where the default locale is not UTF-8.
Also fixed 4 additional open() calls in gateway/run.py that were added
after the PR branch was created.
- tools_config.py: Add 'Local Browser' as first provider option
(no API keys needed, same npm install for agent-browser)
- setup.py: Show 'Browser Automation (local)' when agent-browser
CLI is found but no Browserbase key is set
- config.py: Mark BROWSERBASE_* descriptions as optional
- status.py: Note that local browser works without Browserbase
Adds 4 new direct API-key providers (zai, kimi-coding, minimax, minimax-cn)
to the inference provider system. All use standard OpenAI-compatible
chat/completions endpoints with Bearer token auth.
Core changes:
- auth.py: Extended ProviderConfig with api_key_env_vars and base_url_env_var
fields. Added providers to PROVIDER_REGISTRY. Added provider aliases
(glm, z-ai, zhipu, kimi, moonshot). Added auto-detection of API-key
providers in resolve_provider(). Added resolve_api_key_provider_credentials()
and get_api_key_provider_status() helpers.
- runtime_provider.py: Added generic API-key provider branch in
resolve_runtime_provider() — any provider with auth_type='api_key'
is automatically handled.
- main.py: Added providers to hermes model menu with generic
_model_flow_api_key_provider() flow. Updated _has_any_provider_configured()
to check all provider env vars. Updated argparse --provider choices.
- setup.py: Added providers to setup wizard with API key prompts and
curated model lists.
- config.py: Added env vars (GLM_API_KEY, KIMI_API_KEY, MINIMAX_API_KEY,
etc.) to OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS.
- status.py: Added API key display and provider status section.
- doctor.py: Added connectivity checks for each provider endpoint.
- cli.py: Updated provider docstrings.
Docs: Updated README.md, .env.example, cli-config.yaml.example,
cli-commands.md, environment-variables.md, configuration.md.
Tests: 50 new tests covering registry, aliases, resolution, auto-detection,
credential resolution, and runtime provider dispatch.
Inspired by PR #33 (numman-ali) which proposed a provider registry approach.
Credit to tars90percent (PR #473) and manuelschipper (PR #420) for related
provider improvements merged earlier in this changeset.
Authored by PercyDikec. Fixes#447. The status display used
codex_status.get('auth_file') but get_codex_auth_status() in auth.py
returns the path under 'auth_store' (line 1220). This one-char key
mismatch silently dropped the auth file path from 'hermes status'.
On Windows, open() defaults to the system locale encoding (cp1252,
cp1254, etc.) rather than UTF-8. This breaks any file containing
non-ASCII characters, and also causes crashes when writing JSON with
ensure_ascii=False.
This adds encoding="utf-8" to open() calls in:
- gateway/run.py (config.yaml reads/writes throughout)
- gateway/config.py (gateway.json and config.yaml)
- hermes_cli/config.py (config.yaml load/save)
- hermes_cli/main.py (session export with ensure_ascii=False)
- hermes_cli/status.py (jobs.json and sessions.json)
Add Daytona as a backend choice in the interactive setup wizard with
SDK installation and API key prompts. Show Daytona image in status
output and validate API key + SDK in doctor checks. Add OPTION 6
example in cli-config.yaml.example.

- Enhanced Codex model discovery by fetching available models from the API, with fallback to local cache and defaults.
- Updated the context compressor's summary target tokens to 2500 for improved performance.
- Added external credential detection for Codex CLI to streamline authentication.
- Refactored various components to ensure consistent handling of authentication and model selection across the application.
The `hermes` CLI entry point (hermes_cli/main.py) and the agent runner
(run_agent.py) only loaded .env from the project installation directory.
After the standard installer, code lives at ~/.hermes/hermes-agent/ but
config lives at ~/.hermes/ — so the .env was never found.
Aligns these entry points with the pattern already used by gateway/run.py
and rl_cli.py: load ~/.hermes/.env first, fall back to project root .env
for dev-mode compatibility.
Also fixes:
- status.py checking .env existence and API keys at PROJECT_ROOT
- doctor.py KeyError on tool availability (missing_vars vs env_vars)
- doctor.py checking logs/ and Skills Hub at PROJECT_ROOT instead of HERMES_HOME
- doctor.py redundant logs/ check (already covered by subdirectory loop)
- mini-swe-agent loading config from platformdirs default instead of ~/.hermes/

- Updated the README to include a new banner image and changed the title emoji from 🦋 to ⚕.
- Modified various CLI outputs and scripts to reflect the new branding, ensuring consistency in the use of the ⚕ emoji.
- Added a new banner image asset for enhanced visual appeal during installation and setup processes.
- Implemented a multi-provider authentication system for the Hermes Agent, supporting OAuth for Nous Portal and traditional API key methods for OpenRouter and custom endpoints.
- Enhanced CLI with commands for logging in and out of providers, allowing users to authenticate and manage their credentials easily.
- Updated configuration options to select inference providers, with detailed documentation on usage and setup.
- Improved status reporting to include authentication status and provider details, enhancing user awareness of their current configuration.
- Added new files for authentication handling and updated existing components to integrate the new provider system.
Two config systems used different key names for the terminal backend:
- hermes_cli/config.py, README, and all docs use "terminal.backend"
- cli.py's env var mapping only recognized "terminal.env_type"
Users following the docs who set `backend: modal` in ~/.hermes/config.yaml
had it silently ignored -- TERMINAL_ENV always defaulted to "local".
Additionally, when no config file existed, cli.py's hardcoded defaults
overwrote any TERMINAL_ENV=modal set in .env, despite the comment saying
"env vars take precedence."
Fixes:
- cli.py now normalizes "backend" -> "env_type" (backend takes precedence)
- Defaults no longer overwrite .env when no config file terminal section exists
- hermes status reads from config as fallback when env var isn't set
Also fixes four related bugs found in the Modal/sandbox lifecycle:
- file_tools cache not cleared on sandbox cleanup (stale ops on dead sandbox)
- Global lock held during slow Modal teardown (blocked all tool calls 10-15s)
- Race condition in file_tools between existence check and access (KeyError)
- Per-task creation locks never cleaned up (memory leak)
- Updated `.env.example` to include Tinker and WandB API keys for reinforcement learning training.
- Enhanced `model_tools.py` to clarify configuration options and streamline the RL training process.
- Expanded `README.md` with detailed instructions for setting up RL training using Tinker and WandB.
- Modified `hermes_cli` files to integrate RL training tools and ensure proper configuration checks.
- Improved `rl_training_tool.py` to reflect changes in training parameters and configuration management.
- 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.
