- Register /voice as Discord slash command with mode choices
- Fix _send_voice_reply to handle adapters that don't accept metadata
parameter (Discord) by inspecting the method signature at runtime
- /voice on: reply with voice when user sends voice messages
- /voice tts: reply with voice to all messages
- /voice off: disable, text-only replies
- /voice status: show current mode
- Per-chat state persisted to gateway_voice_mode.json
- Dedup: skips auto-reply if agent already called text_to_speech tool
- drop_pending_updates=True to ignore stale Telegram messages on restart
- 25 tests covering command handler, reply logic, and edge cases
- Keep InputStream alive across recordings to avoid CoreAudio hang on
repeated open/close cycles on macOS. New _ensure_stream() creates the
stream once; start()/stop()/cancel() only toggle frame collection.
- Add _close_stream_with_timeout() with daemon thread to prevent
stream.stop()/close() from blocking indefinitely.
- Add generation counter to detect stale stream-open completions after
cancel or restart.
- Run recorder.cancel() in background thread from Ctrl+C handler to
keep the event loop responsive.
- Add shutdown() method called on /voice off to release audio resources.
- Fix silence timer reset during active speech: use dip tolerance for
_resume_start tracker so natural speech pauses (< 0.3s) don't prevent
the silence timer from being reset.
- Update tests to match persistent stream behavior.
- process_loop's continuous mode restart called _voice_start_recording()
directly, blocking the loop if play_beep/sd.wait hangs — queued user
input would stall silently. Dispatch to daemon thread like Ctrl+B handler.
- Replace print() with _cprint() in _handle_voice_command for consistency
with the rest of the voice mode code.
The handle_voice_record key binding runs in prompt_toolkit's event-loop
thread. When silence auto-stopped recording, _voice_recording was False
but recorder.stop() still held AudioRecorder._lock. A concurrent Ctrl+B
press entered the START path and blocked on that lock, freezing all
keyboard input.
Three changes:
- Set _voice_processing atomically with _voice_recording=False in
_voice_stop_and_transcribe to close the race window
- Add _voice_processing guard in the START path to prevent starting
while stop/transcribe is still running
- Dispatch _voice_start_recording to a daemon thread so play_beep
(sd.wait) and AudioRecorder.start (lock acquire) never block the
event loop
browser_tool.py registered SIGINT/SIGTERM handlers that called sys.exit()
at module import time. When a signal arrived during a lock acquisition
(e.g. AudioRecorder._lock in voice mode), SystemExit was raised inside
prompt_toolkit's async event loop, corrupting coroutine state and making
the process unkillable (required SIGKILL).
atexit handler already ensures browser sessions are cleaned up on any
normal exit path, so the signal handlers were redundant and harmful.
- edge_tts NameError: _generate_edge_tts now calls _import_edge_tts()
instead of referencing bare module name (tts_tool.py)
- TTS thread leak: chat() finally block sends sentinel to text_queue,
sets stop_event, and joins tts_thread on exception paths (cli.py)
- output_stream leak: moved close() into finally block so audio device
is released even on exception (tts_tool.py)
- Ctrl+C continuous mode: cancel handler now resets _voice_continuous
to prevent auto-restart after user cancels recording (cli.py)
- _disable_voice_mode: now calls stop_playback() and sets
_voice_tts_done so TTS stops when voice mode is turned off (cli.py)
- _show_voice_status: reads record key from config instead of
hardcoding Ctrl+B (cli.py)
Bug A: Replace stale _HAS_ELEVENLABS/_HAS_AUDIO boolean imports with
lazy import function calls (_import_elevenlabs, _import_sounddevice).
The old constants no longer exist in tts_tool -- the try/except
silently swallowed the ImportError, leaving streaming TTS dead.
Bug B: Use user message prefix instead of modifying system prompt for
voice mode instruction. Changing ephemeral_system_prompt mid-session
invalidates the prompt cache. Now the concise-response hint is
prepended to the user_message passed to run_conversation while
conversation_history keeps the original text.
Minor: Add force parameter to _vprint so critical error messages
(max retries, non-retryable errors, API failures) are always shown
even during streaming TTS playback.
Tests: 15 new tests in test_voice_cli_integration.py covering all
three fixes -- lazy import activation, message prefix behavior,
history cleanliness, system prompt stability, and AST verification
that all critical _vprint calls use force=True.
1. Fully lazy imports: sounddevice, numpy, elevenlabs, edge_tts, and
openai are never imported at module level. Each is imported only when
the feature is explicitly activated, preventing crashes in headless
environments (SSH, Docker, WSL, no PortAudio).
2. No core agent loop changes: streaming TTS path extracted from
_interruptible_api_call() into separate _streaming_api_call() method.
The original method is restored to its upstream form.
3. Configurable key binding: push-to-talk key changed from Ctrl+R
(conflicts with readline reverse-search) to Ctrl+B by default.
Configurable via voice.push_to_talk_key in config.yaml.
4. Environment detection: new detect_audio_environment() function checks
for SSH, Docker, WSL, and missing audio devices before enabling voice
mode. Auto-disables with clear warnings in incompatible environments.
5. Graceful degradation: every audio touchpoint (sd.play, sd.InputStream,
sd.OutputStream) wrapped in try/except with ImportError/OSError
handling. Failures produce warnings, not crashes.
- Fix Gemini streaming tool call merge bug: multiple tool calls with same
index but different IDs are now parsed as separate calls instead of
concatenating names (e.g. ha_call_serviceha_call_service)
- Handle partial results in voice mode: show error and stop continuous
mode when agent returns partial/failed results with empty response
- Fix error display during streaming TTS: error messages are shown in
full response box even when streaming box was already opened
- Add duplicate sentence filter in TTS: skip near-duplicate sentences
from LLM repetition
- Fix fake HA server state mutation: turn_on/turn_off/set_temperature
correctly update entity states; temperature sensor simulates change
when thermostat is adjusted
- Audio cues: beep on record start (880Hz), double beep on stop (660Hz)
- Silence detection: auto-stop recording after 3s of silence (RMS-based)
- Continuous mode: auto-restart recording after agent responds
- Ctrl+R starts continuous mode, Ctrl+R during recording exits it
- Waits for TTS to finish before restarting to avoid recording speaker
- Tests: 7 new tests for beep generation and silence detection
The test was failing because GROQ_API_KEY leaked from the environment.
Now both VOICE_TOOLS_OPENAI_KEY and GROQ_API_KEY are removed to
properly test the "no STT key" scenario.
Salvaged from PR #932 by Wayne onto current main.
Apply skin-aware prompt symbols and live prompt_toolkit color refresh,
replace lingering hardcoded accent output with active-skin colors, keep
ANSI-safe response rendering, preserve secret-capture and approval-prompt
state handling, and add integration coverage for prompt state and style
refresh behavior.
* feat: improve context compaction handoff summaries
Adapt PR #916 onto current main by replacing the old context summary marker
with a clearer handoff wrapper, updating the summarization prompt for
resume-oriented summaries, and preserving the current call_llm-based
compression path.
* fix: clearer error when docker backend is unavailable
* fix: preserve docker discovery in backend preflight
Follow up on salvaged PR #940 by reusing find_docker() during the new
availability check so non-PATH Docker Desktop installs still work. Add
a regression test covering the resolved executable path.
* test: make gateway async tests xdist-safe
Replace sync test usage of asyncio.get_event_loop().run_until_complete()
with asyncio.run() so tests do not depend on an ambient current event loop.
Also create the email disconnect poll task inside a running loop. This fixes
xdist/CI failures where workers have no current loop in MainThread.

Use asyncio.run in sync tests that were relying on an implicit current event loop. This makes the gateway send-image and Slack connect tests pass reliably under Python 3.11+ and xdist workers.
Add a /reasoning command across gateway adapters so users can
inspect or change reasoning effort without editing config by hand.
Reload reasoning settings from config.yaml before each agent run,
including background tasks, so the next message picks up the new
value consistently.

hermes setup hung indefinitely on headless SSH sessions, Docker
containers, and CI/CD environments because the interactive provider
selection menu could not receive input.
Two-layer fix:
1. sys.stdin.isatty() check — auto-detects non-interactive environments
2. --non-interactive flag support — already in CLI parser, now honored
In both cases the wizard exits immediately with helpful guidance
pointing users to 'hermes config set' commands.
Closes#905
Restore gateway/run.py to current main behavior while keeping tirith startup
and pattern_keys replay, preserve yolo and non-interactive bypass semantics in
the combined guard, and add regression tests for yolo and view-full flows.
- store cron-run sessions with source=cron instead of falling back to cli
- close the per-run SessionDB after completion
- add regression coverage for cron session_db/platform wiring
Integrate tirith as a pre-execution security scanner that detects
homograph URLs, pipe-to-interpreter patterns, terminal injection,
zero-width Unicode, and environment variable manipulation — threats
the existing 50-pattern dangerous command detector doesn't cover.
Architecture: gather-then-decide — both tirith and the dangerous
command detector run before any approval prompt, preventing gateway
force=True replay from bypassing one check when only the other was
shown to the user.
New files:
- tools/tirith_security.py: subprocess wrapper with auto-installer,
mandatory cosign provenance verification, non-blocking background
download, disk-persistent failure markers with retryable-cause
tracking (cosign_missing auto-clears when cosign appears on PATH)
- tests/tools/test_tirith_security.py: 62 tests covering exit code
mapping, fail_open, cosign verification, background install,
HERMES_HOME isolation, and failure recovery
- tests/tools/test_command_guards.py: 21 integration tests for the
combined guard orchestration
Modified files:
- tools/approval.py: add check_all_command_guards() orchestrator,
add allow_permanent parameter to prompt_dangerous_approval()
- tools/terminal_tool.py: replace _check_dangerous_command with
consolidated check_all_command_guards
- cli.py: update _approval_callback for allow_permanent kwarg,
call ensure_installed() at startup
- gateway/run.py: iterate pattern_keys list on replay approval,
call ensure_installed() at startup
- hermes_cli/config.py: add security config defaults, split
commented sections for independent fallback
- cli-config.yaml.example: document tirith security config
