46176c8029 refactor: centralize slash command registry (#1603)
* refactor: centralize slash command registry

Replace 7+ scattered command definition sites with a single
CommandDef registry in hermes_cli/commands.py. All downstream
consumers now derive from this registry:

- CLI process_command() resolves aliases via resolve_command()
- Gateway _known_commands uses GATEWAY_KNOWN_COMMANDS frozenset
- Gateway help text generated by gateway_help_lines()
- Telegram BotCommands generated by telegram_bot_commands()
- Slack subcommand map generated by slack_subcommand_map()

Adding a command or alias is now a one-line change to
COMMAND_REGISTRY instead of touching 6+ files.

Bugfixes included:
- Telegram now registers /rollback, /background (were missing)
- Slack now has /voice, /update, /reload-mcp (were missing)
- Gateway duplicate 'reasoning' dispatch (dead code) removed
- Gateway help text can no longer drift from CLI help

Backwards-compatible: COMMANDS and COMMANDS_BY_CATEGORY dicts are
rebuilt from the registry, so existing imports work unchanged.

* docs: update developer docs for centralized command registry

Update AGENTS.md with full 'Slash Command Registry' and 'Adding a
Slash Command' sections covering CommandDef fields, registry helpers,
and the one-line alias workflow.

Also update:
- CONTRIBUTING.md: commands.py description
- website/docs/reference/slash-commands.md: reference central registry
- docs/plans/centralize-command-registry.md: mark COMPLETED
- plans/checkpoint-rollback.md: reference new pattern
- hermes-agent-dev skill: architecture table

* chore: remove stale plan docs

6794e79bb4 feat: add /bg as alias for /background slash command (#1590)
* feat: add optional smart model routing

Add a conservative cheap-vs-strong routing option that can send very short/simple turns to a cheaper model across providers while keeping the primary model for complex work. Wire it through CLI, gateway, and cron, and document the config.yaml workflow.

* fix(gateway): remove recursive ExecStop from systemd units, extend TimeoutStopSec to 60s

* fix(gateway): avoid recursive ExecStop in user systemd unit

* fix: extend ExecStop removal and TimeoutStopSec=60 to system unit

The cherry-picked PR #1448 fix only covered the user systemd unit.
The system unit had the same TimeoutStopSec=15 and could benefit
from the same 60s timeout for clean shutdown. Also adds a regression
test for the system unit.

* feat(skills): add blender-mcp optional skill for 3D modeling

Control a running Blender instance from Hermes via socket connection
to the blender-mcp addon (port 9876). Supports creating 3D objects,
materials, animations, and running arbitrary bpy code.

Placed in optional-skills/ since it requires Blender 4.3+ desktop
with a third-party addon manually started each session.

* feat(acp): support slash commands in ACP adapter (#1532)

Adds /help, /model, /tools, /context, /reset, /compact, /version
to the ACP adapter (VS Code, Zed, JetBrains). Commands are handled
directly in the server without instantiating the TUI — each command
queries agent/session state and returns plain text.

Unrecognized /commands fall through to the LLM as normal messages.

/model uses detect_provider_for_model() for auto-detection when
switching models, matching the CLI and gateway behavior.

Fixes #1402

* fix(logging): improve error logging in session search tool (#1533)

* fix(gateway): restart on retryable startup failures (#1517)

* feat(email): add skip_attachments option via config.yaml

* feat(email): add skip_attachments option via config.yaml

Adds a config.yaml-driven option to skip email attachments in the
gateway email adapter. Useful for malware protection and bandwidth
savings.

Configure in config.yaml:
  platforms:
    email:
      skip_attachments: true

Based on PR #1521 by @an420eth, changed from env var to config.yaml
(via PlatformConfig.extra) to match the project's config-first pattern.

* docs: document skip_attachments option for email adapter

* fix(telegram): retry on transient TLS failures during connect and send

Add exponential-backoff retry (3 attempts) around initialize() to
handle transient TLS resets during gateway startup. Also catches
TimedOut and OSError in addition to NetworkError.

Add exponential-backoff retry (3 attempts) around send_message() for
NetworkError during message delivery, wrapping the existing Markdown
fallback logic.

Both imports are guarded with try/except ImportError for test
environments where telegram is mocked.

Based on PR #1527 by cmd8. Closes #1526.

* feat: permissive block_anchor thresholds and unicode normalization (#1539)

Salvaged from PR #1528 by an420eth. Closes #517.

Improves _strategy_block_anchor in fuzzy_match.py:
- Add unicode normalization (smart quotes, em/en-dashes, ellipsis,
  non-breaking spaces → ASCII) so LLM-produced unicode artifacts
  don't break anchor line matching
- Lower thresholds: 0.10 for unique matches (was 0.70), 0.30 for
  multiple candidates — if first/last lines match exactly, the
  block is almost certainly correct
- Use original (non-normalized) content for offset calculation to
  preserve correct character positions

Tested: 3 new scenarios fixed (em-dash anchors, non-breaking space
anchors, very-low-similarity unique matches), zero regressions on
all 9 existing fuzzy match tests.

* feat(cli): add file path autocomplete in the input prompt (#1545)

When typing a path-like token (./  ../  ~/  /  or containing /),
the CLI now shows filesystem completions in the dropdown menu.
Directories show a trailing slash and 'dir' label; files show
their size. Completions are case-insensitive and capped at 30
entries.

Triggered by tokens like:
  edit ./src/ma     → shows ./src/main.py, ./src/manifest.json, ...
  check ~/doc       → shows ~/docs/, ~/documents/, ...
  read /etc/hos     → shows /etc/hosts, /etc/hostname, ...
  open tools/reg    → shows tools/registry.py

Slash command autocomplete (/help, /model, etc.) is unaffected —
it still triggers when the input starts with /.

Inspired by OpenCode PR #145 (file path completion menu).

Implementation:
- hermes_cli/commands.py: _extract_path_word() detects path-like
  tokens, _path_completions() yields filesystem Completions with
  size labels, get_completions() routes to paths vs slash commands
- tests/hermes_cli/test_path_completion.py: 26 tests covering
  path extraction, prefix filtering, directory markers, home
  expansion, case-insensitivity, integration with slash commands

* feat(privacy): redact PII from LLM context when privacy.redact_pii is enabled

Add privacy.redact_pii config option (boolean, default false). When
enabled, the gateway redacts personally identifiable information from
the system prompt before sending it to the LLM provider:

- Phone numbers (user IDs on WhatsApp/Signal) → hashed to user_<sha256>
- User IDs → hashed to user_<sha256>
- Chat IDs → numeric portion hashed, platform prefix preserved
- Home channel IDs → hashed
- Names/usernames → NOT affected (user-chosen, publicly visible)

Hashes are deterministic (same user → same hash) so the model can
still distinguish users in group chats. Routing and delivery use
the original values internally — redaction only affects LLM context.

Inspired by OpenClaw PR #47959.

* fix(privacy): skip PII redaction on Discord/Slack (mentions need real IDs)

Discord uses <@user_id> for mentions and Slack uses <@U12345> — the LLM
needs the real ID to tag users. Redaction now only applies to WhatsApp,
Signal, and Telegram where IDs are pure routing metadata.

Add 4 platform-specific tests covering Discord, WhatsApp, Signal, Slack.

* feat: smart approvals + /stop command (inspired by OpenAI Codex)

* feat: smart approvals — LLM-based risk assessment for dangerous commands

Adds a 'smart' approval mode that uses the auxiliary LLM to assess
whether a flagged command is genuinely dangerous or a false positive,
auto-approving low-risk commands without prompting the user.

Inspired by OpenAI Codex's Smart Approvals guardian subagent
(openai/codex#13860).

Config (config.yaml):
  approvals:
    mode: manual   # manual (default), smart, off

Modes:
- manual — current behavior, always prompt the user
- smart  — aux LLM evaluates risk: APPROVE (auto-allow), DENY (block),
           or ESCALATE (fall through to manual prompt)
- off    — skip all approval prompts (equivalent to --yolo)

When smart mode auto-approves, the pattern gets session-level approval
so subsequent uses of the same pattern don't trigger another LLM call.
When it denies, the command is blocked without user prompt. When
uncertain, it escalates to the normal manual approval flow.

The LLM prompt is carefully scoped: it sees only the command text and
the flagged reason, assesses actual risk vs false positive, and returns
a single-word verdict.

* feat: make smart approval model configurable via config.yaml

Adds auxiliary.approval section to config.yaml with the same
provider/model/base_url/api_key pattern as other aux tasks (vision,
web_extract, compression, etc.).

Config:
  auxiliary:
    approval:
      provider: auto
      model: ''        # fast/cheap model recommended
      base_url: ''
      api_key: ''

Bridged to env vars in both CLI and gateway paths so the aux client
picks them up automatically.

* feat: add /stop command to kill all background processes

Adds a /stop slash command that kills all running background processes
at once. Currently users have to process(list) then process(kill) for
each one individually.

Inspired by OpenAI Codex's separation of interrupt (Ctrl+C stops current
turn) from /stop (cleans up background processes). See openai/codex#14602.

Ctrl+C continues to only interrupt the active agent turn — background
dev servers, watchers, etc. are preserved. /stop is the explicit way
to clean them all up.

* feat: first-class plugin architecture + hide status bar cost by default (#1544)

The persistent status bar now shows context %, token counts, and
duration but NOT $ cost by default. Cost display is opt-in via:

  display:
    show_cost: true

in config.yaml, or: hermes config set display.show_cost true

The /usage command still shows full cost breakdown since the user
explicitly asked for it — this only affects the always-visible bar.

Status bar without cost:
  ⚕ claude-sonnet-4 │ 12K/200K │ 6% │ 15m

Status bar with show_cost: true:
  ⚕ claude-sonnet-4 │ 12K/200K │ 6% │ $0.06 │ 15m

* feat: improve memory prioritization + aggressive skill updates (inspired by OpenAI Codex)

* feat: improve memory prioritization — user preferences over procedural knowledge

Inspired by OpenAI Codex's memory prompt improvements (openai/codex#14493)
which focus memory writes on user preferences and recurring patterns
rather than procedural task details.

Key insight: 'Optimize for reducing future user steering — the most
valuable memory prevents the user from having to repeat themselves.'

Changes:
- MEMORY_GUIDANCE (prompt_builder.py): added prioritization hierarchy
  and the core principle about reducing user steering
- MEMORY_SCHEMA (memory_tool.py): reordered WHEN TO SAVE list to put
  corrections first, added explicit PRIORITY guidance
- Memory nudge (run_agent.py): now asks specifically about preferences,
  corrections, and workflow patterns instead of generic 'anything'
- Memory flush (run_agent.py): now instructs to prioritize user
  preferences and corrections over task-specific details

* feat: more aggressive skill creation and update prompting

Press harder on skill updates — the agent should proactively patch
skills when it encounters issues during use, not wait to be asked.

Changes:
- SKILLS_GUIDANCE: 'consider saving' → 'save'; added explicit instruction
  to patch skills immediately when found outdated/wrong
- Skills header: added instruction to update loaded skills before finishing
  if they had missing steps or wrong commands
- Skill nudge: more assertive ('save the approach' not 'consider saving'),
  now also prompts for updating existing skills used in the task
- Skill nudge interval: lowered default from 15 to 10 iterations
- skill_manage schema: added 'patch it immediately' to update triggers

* feat: first-class plugin architecture (#1555)

Plugin system for extending Hermes with custom tools, hooks, and
integrations — no source code changes required.

Core system (hermes_cli/plugins.py):
  - Plugin discovery from ~/.hermes/plugins/, .hermes/plugins/, and
    pip entry_points (hermes_agent.plugins group)
  - PluginContext with register_tool() and register_hook()
  - 6 lifecycle hooks: pre/post tool_call, pre/post llm_call,
    on_session_start/end
  - Namespace package handling for relative imports in plugins
  - Graceful error isolation — broken plugins never crash the agent

Integration (model_tools.py):
  - Plugin discovery runs after built-in + MCP tools
  - Plugin tools bypass toolset filter via get_plugin_tool_names()
  - Pre/post tool call hooks fire in handle_function_call()

CLI:
  - /plugins command shows loaded plugins, tool counts, status
  - Added to COMMANDS dict for autocomplete

Docs:
  - Getting started guide (build-a-hermes-plugin.md) — full tutorial
    building a calculator plugin step by step
  - Reference page (features/plugins.md) — quick overview + tables
  - Covers: file structure, schemas, handlers, hooks, data files,
    bundled skills, env var gating, pip distribution, common mistakes

Tests: 16 tests covering discovery, loading, hooks, tool visibility.

* feat: add /bg as alias for /background slash command

Adds /bg alias across CLI, gateway, and Slack platform adapter.
Updates help text, autocomplete, known_commands set, and dispatch
logic. Includes tests for the new alias.

* docs: add plan for centralized slash command registry

Scopes a refactor to replace 7+ scattered command definition sites
with a single CommandDef registry in hermes_cli/commands.py. Includes
derived helper functions for gateway help text, Telegram BotCommands,
Slack subcommand maps, and alias resolution.

Documents current drift (Telegram missing /rollback + /background,
Slack missing /voice + /update, gateway dead code) that the refactor
fixes for free.

b8c3bc7841 feat: browser screenshot sharing via MEDIA: on all messaging platforms
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).

e2a834578d refactor: extract clipboard methods + comprehensive tests (37 tests)
Refactored image paste internals for testability:
- Extracted _try_attach_clipboard_image() method (clipboard → state)
- Extracted _build_multimodal_content() method (images → OpenAI format)
- chat() now delegates to these instead of inline logic

Tests organized in 4 levels:
  Level 1 (19 tests): Clipboard module — every platform path with
    realistic subprocess simulation (tools writing files, timeouts,
    empty files, cleanup on failure)
  Level 2 (8 tests): _build_multimodal_content — base64 encoding,
    MIME types (png/jpg/webp/unknown), missing files, multiple images,
    default question for empty text
  Level 3 (5 tests): _try_attach_clipboard_image — state management,
    counter increment/rollback, naming convention, mixed success/failure
  Level 4 (5 tests): Queue routing — tuple unpacking, command detection,
    images-only payloads, text-only payloads

d400fb8b23 feat: add /update slash command for gateway platforms
Adds a /update command to Telegram, Discord, and other gateway platforms
that runs `hermes update` to pull the latest code, update dependencies,
sync skills, and restart the gateway.

Implementation:
- Spawns `hermes update` in a separate systemd scope (systemd-run --user
  --scope) so the process survives the gateway restart that hermes update
  triggers at the end. Falls back to nohup if systemd-run is unavailable.
- Writes a marker file (.update_pending.json) with the originating
  platform and chat_id before spawning the update.
- On gateway startup, _send_update_notification() checks for the marker,
  reads the captured update output, sends the results back to the user,
  and cleans up.

Also:
- Registers /update as a Discord slash command
- Updates README.md, docs/messaging.md, docs/slash-commands.md
- Adds 18 tests covering handler, notification, and edge cases
