- Add summary_base_url config option to compression block for custom
OpenAI-compatible endpoints (e.g. zai, DeepSeek, Ollama)
- Remove compression env var bridges from cli.py and gateway/run.py
(CONTEXT_COMPRESSION_* env vars no longer set from config)
- Switch run_agent.py to read compression config directly from
config.yaml instead of env vars
- Fix backwards-compat block in _resolve_task_provider_model to also
fire when auxiliary.compression.provider is 'auto' (DEFAULT_CONFIG
sets this, which was silently preventing the compression section's
summary_* keys from being read)
- Add test for summary_base_url config-to-client flow
- Update docs to show compression as config.yaml-only
Closes#1591
Based on PR #1702 by @uzaylisak
Four small fixes:
1. model_tools.py: Tool import failures logged at WARNING instead of
DEBUG. If a tool module fails to import (syntax error, missing dep),
the user now sees a warning instead of the tool silently vanishing.
2. hermes_cli/config.py: Remove duplicate 'import sys' (lines 19, 21).
3. agent/model_metadata.py: Remove 6 duplicate entries in
DEFAULT_CONTEXT_LENGTHS dict. Python keeps the last value, so no
functional change, but removes maintenance confusion.
4. hermes_state.py: Add missing self._lock to the LIKE query in
resolve_session_id(). The exact-match path used get_session()
(which locks internally), but the prefix fallback queried _conn
without the lock.
Salvage of PR #1707 by @kshitijk4poor (cherry-picked with authorship preserved).
Adds Tavily as a third web backend alongside Firecrawl and Parallel, using the Tavily REST API via httpx.
- Backend selection via hermes tools → saved as web.backend in config.yaml
- All three tools supported: search, extract, crawl
- TAVILY_API_KEY in config registry, doctor, status, setup wizard
- 15 new Tavily tests + 9 backend selection tests + 5 config tests
- Backward compatible
Closes#1707
* feat(web): add Parallel as alternative web search/extract backend
Adds Parallel (parallel.ai) as a drop-in alternative to Firecrawl for
web_search and web_extract tools using the official parallel-web SDK.
- Backend selection via WEB_SEARCH_BACKEND env var (auto/parallel/firecrawl)
- Auto mode prefers Firecrawl when both keys present; Parallel when sole backend
- web_crawl remains Firecrawl-only with clear error when unavailable
- Lazy SDK imports, interrupt support, singleton clients
- 16 new unit tests for backend selection and client config
Co-authored-by: s-jag <s-jag@users.noreply.github.com>
* fix: add PARALLEL_API_KEY to config registry and fix web_crawl policy tests
Follow-up for Parallel backend integration:
- Add PARALLEL_API_KEY to OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS (hermes doctor, env blocklist)
- Add to set_config_value api_keys list (hermes config set)
- Add to doctor keys display
- Fix 2 web_crawl policy tests that didn't set FIRECRAWL_API_KEY
(needed now that web_crawl has a Firecrawl availability guard)
* refactor: explicit backend selection via hermes tools, not auto-detect
Replace the auto-detect backend selection with explicit user choice:
- hermes tools saves WEB_SEARCH_BACKEND to .env when user picks a provider
- _get_backend() reads the explicit choice first
- Fallback only for manual/legacy config (uses whichever key is present)
- _is_provider_active() shows [active] for the selected web backend
- Updated tests, docs, and .env.example to remove 'auto' mode language
* refactor: use config.yaml for web backend, not env var
Match the TTS/browser pattern — web.backend is stored in config.yaml
(set by hermes tools), not as a WEB_SEARCH_BACKEND env var.
- _load_web_config() reads web: section from config.yaml
- _get_backend() reads web.backend from config, falls back to key detection
- _configure_provider() saves to config dict (saved to config.yaml)
- _is_provider_active() reads from config dict
- Removed WEB_SEARCH_BACKEND from .env.example, set_config_value, docs
- Updated all tests to mock _load_web_config instead of env vars

The function uses subprocess.run() and subprocess.CalledProcessError but
never imported the module. This caused a NameError crash during setup
when users selected NeuTTS as their TTS provider.
Fixes#1698
Add the ability to selectively enable/disable individual MCP server
tools through the interactive 'hermes tools' TUI.
Changes:
- tools/mcp_tool.py: Add probe_mcp_server_tools() — lightweight function
that temporarily connects to configured MCP servers, discovers their
tools (names + descriptions), and disconnects. No registry side effects.
- hermes_cli/tools_config.py: Add 'Configure MCP tools' option to the
interactive menu. When selected:
1. Probes all enabled MCP servers for their available tools
2. Shows a per-server curses checklist with tool descriptions
3. Pre-selects tools based on existing include/exclude config
4. Writes changes back as tools.exclude entries in config.yaml
5. Reports which servers failed to connect
The existing CLI commands (hermes tools enable/disable server:tool)
continue to work unchanged. This adds the interactive TUI counterpart
so users can browse and toggle MCP tools visually.
Tests: 22 new tests covering probe function edge cases and interactive
flow (pre-selection, exclude/include modes, description truncation,
multi-server handling, error paths).
fetch_nous_models() uses keyword-only parameters (the * separator in
its signature), but models.py called it with positional args and in
the wrong order (api_key first, base_url second). This always raised
TypeError, silently caught by except Exception: pass.
Result: Nous provider model list was completely broken — /model
autocomplete and provider_model_ids('nous') always fell back to the
static model catalog instead of fetching live models.
Adds both platforms to the config system so hermes setup, hermes doctor,
and hermes config properly discover and manage their env vars.
- MATTERMOST_URL, MATTERMOST_TOKEN, MATTERMOST_ALLOWED_USERS
- MATRIX_HOMESERVER, MATRIX_ACCESS_TOKEN, MATRIX_USER_ID, MATRIX_ALLOWED_USERS
- Extra env keys for .env sanitizer: MATTERMOST_HOME_CHANNEL,
MATTERMOST_REPLY_MODE, MATRIX_PASSWORD, MATRIX_ENCRYPTION, MATRIX_HOME_ROOM
Add support for Mattermost (self-hosted Slack alternative) and Matrix
(federated messaging protocol) as messaging platforms.
Mattermost adapter:
- REST API v4 client for posts, files, channels, typing indicators
- WebSocket listener for real-time 'posted' events with reconnect backoff
- Thread support via root_id
- File upload/download with auth-aware caching
- Dedup cache (5min TTL, 2000 entries)
- Full self-hosted instance support
Matrix adapter:
- matrix-nio AsyncClient with sync loop
- Dual auth: access token or user_id + password
- Optional E2EE via matrix-nio[e2e] (libolm)
- Thread support via m.thread (MSC3440)
- Reply support via m.in_reply_to with fallback stripping
- Media upload/download via mxc:// URLs (authenticated v1.11+ endpoint)
- Auto-join on room invite
- DM detection via m.direct account data with sync fallback
- Markdown to HTML conversion
Fixes applied over original PR #1225 by @cyb0rgk1tty:
- Mattermost: add timeout to file downloads, wrap API helpers in
try/except for network errors, download incoming files immediately
with auth headers instead of passing auth-required URLs
- Matrix: use authenticated media endpoint (/_matrix/client/v1/media/),
robust m.direct cache with sync fallback, prefer aiohttp over httpx
Install Matrix support: pip install 'hermes-agent[matrix]'
Mattermost needs no extra deps (uses aiohttp).

* feat(gateway): add DingTalk platform adapter
Add DingTalk as a messaging platform using the dingtalk-stream SDK
for real-time message reception via Stream Mode (no webhook needed).
Replies are sent via session webhook using markdown format.
Features:
- Stream Mode connection (long-lived WebSocket, no public URL needed)
- Text and rich text message support
- DM and group chat support
- Message deduplication with 5-minute window
- Auto-reconnection with exponential backoff
- Session webhook caching for reply routing
Configuration:
export DINGTALK_CLIENT_ID=your-app-key
export DINGTALK_CLIENT_SECRET=your-app-secret
# or in config.yaml:
platforms:
dingtalk:
enabled: true
extra:
client_id: your-app-key
client_secret: your-app-secret

* docs: add Alibaba Cloud and DingTalk to setup wizard and docs
Wire Alibaba Cloud (DashScope) into hermes setup and hermes model
provider selection flows. Add DingTalk env vars to documentation.
Changes:
- setup.py: Add Alibaba Cloud as provider choice (index 11) with
DASHSCOPE_API_KEY prompt and model studio link
- main.py: Add alibaba to provider_labels, providers list, and
model flow dispatch
- environment-variables.md: Add DASHSCOPE_API_KEY, DINGTALK_CLIENT_ID,
DINGTALK_CLIENT_SECRET, and alibaba to HERMES_INFERENCE_PROVIDER
- Default enabled: false (zero overhead when not configured)
- Fast path: cached disabled state skips all work immediately
- TTL cache (30s) for parsed policy — avoids re-reading config.yaml
on every URL check
- Missing shared files warn + skip instead of crashing all web tools
- Lazy yaml import — missing PyYAML doesn't break browser toolset
- Guarded browser_tool import — fail-open lambda fallback
- check_website_access never raises for default path (fail-open with
warning log); only raises with explicit config_path (test mode)
- Simplified enforcement code in web_tools/browser_tool — no more
try/except wrappers since errors are handled internally

ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL collides with Claude Code and other Anthropic
tooling. Remove it from the Anthropic provider — base URL overrides
should go through config.yaml model.base_url instead.
The Alibaba/DashScope provider has its own dedicated base URL and
API key env vars which don't collide with anything.
Add display.theme_mode setting (auto/light/dark) that makes the CLI
readable on light terminal backgrounds.
- Auto-detect terminal background via COLORFGBG, OSC 11, and macOS
appearance (fallback chain in hermes_cli/colors.py)
- Add colors_light overrides to all 7 built-in skins with dark/readable
colors for light backgrounds
- SkinConfig.get_color() now returns light overrides when theme is light
- get_prompt_toolkit_style_overrides() uses light bg colors for
completion menus in light mode
- init_skin_from_config() reads display.theme_mode from config
- 7 new tests covering theme mode resolution, detection fallbacks,
and light-mode skin overrides

Add Alibaba Cloud (DashScope) as a first-class inference provider
using the Anthropic-compatible endpoint. This gives access to Qwen
models (qwen3.5-plus, qwen3-max, qwen3-coder-plus, etc.) through
the same api_mode as native Anthropic.
Also add ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL env var support so users can point the
Anthropic provider at any compatible endpoint.
Changes:
- auth.py: Add alibaba ProviderConfig + ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL on anthropic
- models.py: Add alibaba to catalog, labels, aliases (dashscope/aliyun/qwen), provider order
- runtime_provider.py: Add alibaba resolution (anthropic_messages api_mode) + ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL
- model_metadata.py: Add Qwen model context lengths (128K)
- config.py: Add DASHSCOPE_API_KEY, DASHSCOPE_BASE_URL, ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL env vars
Usage:
hermes --provider alibaba --model qwen3.5-plus
# or via aliases:
hermes --provider qwen --model qwen3-max
Add Kilo Gateway (kilo.ai) as an API-key provider with OpenAI-compatible
endpoint at https://api.kilo.ai/api/gateway. Supports 500+ models from
Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, xAI, Mistral, MiniMax via a single API key.
- Register kilocode in PROVIDER_REGISTRY with aliases (kilo, kilo-code,
kilo-gateway) and KILOCODE_API_KEY / KILOCODE_BASE_URL env vars
- Add to model catalog, CLI provider menu, setup wizard, doctor checks
- Add google/gemini-3-flash-preview as default aux model
- 12 new tests covering registration, aliases, credential resolution,
runtime config
- Documentation updates (env vars, config, fallback providers)
- Fix setup test index shift from provider insertion

Docker terminal sessions are secret-dark by default. This adds
terminal.docker_forward_env as an explicit allowlist for env vars
that may be forwarded into Docker containers.
Values resolve from the current shell first, then fall back to
~/.hermes/.env. Only variables the user explicitly lists are
forwarded — nothing is auto-exposed.

Remove the optional skill (redundant now that NeuTTS is a built-in TTS
provider). Replace neutts_cli dependency with a standalone synthesis
helper (tools/neutts_synth.py) that calls the neutts Python API directly
in a subprocess.
Add TTS provider selection to hermes setup:
- 'hermes setup' now prompts for TTS provider after model selection
- 'hermes setup tts' available as standalone section
- Selecting NeuTTS checks for deps and offers to install:
espeak-ng (system) + neutts[all] (pip)
- ElevenLabs/OpenAI selections prompt for API keys
- Tool status display shows NeuTTS install state
Changes:
- Remove optional-skills/mlops/models/neutts/ (skill + CLI scaffold)
- Add tools/neutts_synth.py (standalone synthesis subprocess helper)
- Move jo.wav/jo.txt to tools/neutts_samples/ (bundled default voice)
- Refactor _generate_neutts() — uses neutts API via subprocess, no
neutts_cli dependency, config-driven ref_audio/ref_text/model/device
- Add TTS setup to hermes_cli/setup.py (SETUP_SECTIONS, tool status)
- Update config.py defaults (ref_audio, ref_text, model, device)
* fix: prevent infinite 400 failure loop on context overflow (#1630)
When a gateway session exceeds the model's context window, Anthropic may
return a generic 400 invalid_request_error with just 'Error' as the
message. This bypassed the phrase-based context-length detection,
causing the agent to treat it as a non-retryable client error. Worse,
the failed user message was still persisted to the transcript, making
the session even larger on each attempt — creating an infinite loop.
Three-layer fix:
1. run_agent.py — Fallback heuristic: when a 400 error has a very short
generic message AND the session is large (>40% of context or >80
messages), treat it as a probable context overflow and trigger
compression instead of aborting.
2. run_agent.py + gateway/run.py — Don't persist failed messages:
when the agent returns failed=True before generating any response,
skip writing the user's message to the transcript/DB. This prevents
the session from growing on each failure.
3. gateway/run.py — Smarter error messages: detect context-overflow
failures and suggest /compact or /reset specifically, instead of a
generic 'try again' that will fail identically.
* fix(skills): detect prompt injection patterns and block cache file reads
Adds two security layers to prevent prompt injection via skills hub
cache files (#1558):
1. read_file: blocks direct reads of ~/.hermes/skills/.hub/ directory
(index-cache, catalog files). The 3.5MB clawhub_catalog_v1.json
was the original injection vector — untrusted skill descriptions
in the catalog contained adversarial text that the model executed.
2. skill_view: warns when skills are loaded from outside the trusted
~/.hermes/skills/ directory, and detects common injection patterns
in skill content ("ignore previous instructions", "<system>", etc.).
Cherry-picked from PR #1562 by ygd58.
* fix(tools): chunk long messages in send_message_tool before dispatch (#1552)
Long messages sent via send_message tool or cron delivery silently
failed when exceeding platform limits. Gateway adapters handle this
via truncate_message(), but the standalone senders in send_message_tool
bypassed that entirely.
- Apply truncate_message() chunking in _send_to_platform() before
dispatching to individual platform senders
- Remove naive message[i:i+2000] character split in _send_discord()
in favor of centralized smart splitting
- Attach media files to last chunk only for Telegram
- Add regression tests for chunking and media placement
Cherry-picked from PR #1557 by llbn.
* fix(approval): show full command in dangerous command approval (#1553)
Previously the command was truncated to 80 chars in CLI (with a
[v]iew full option), 500 chars in Discord embeds, and missing entirely
in Telegram/Slack approval messages. Now the full command is always
displayed everywhere:
- CLI: removed 80-char truncation and [v]iew full menu option
- Gateway (TG/Slack): approval_required message includes full command
in a code block
- Discord: embed shows full command up to 4096-char limit
- Windows: skip SIGALRM-based test timeout (Unix-only)
- Updated tests: replaced view-flow tests with direct approval tests
Cherry-picked from PR #1566 by crazywriter1.
* fix(cli): flush stdout during agent loop to prevent macOS display freeze (#1624)
The interrupt polling loop in chat() waited on the queue without
invalidating the prompt_toolkit renderer. On macOS, the StdoutProxy
buffer only flushed on input events, causing the CLI to appear frozen
during tool execution until the user typed a key.
Fix: call _invalidate() on each queue timeout (every ~100ms, throttled
to 150ms) to force the renderer to flush buffered agent output.
* fix(claw): warn when API keys are skipped during OpenClaw migration (#1580)
When --migrate-secrets is not passed (the default), API keys like
OPENROUTER_API_KEY are silently skipped with no warning. Users don't
realize their keys weren't migrated until the agent fails to connect.
Add a post-migration warning with actionable instructions: either
re-run with --migrate-secrets or add the key manually via
hermes config set.

* fix(security): block sandbox backend creds from subprocess env (#1264)
Add Modal and Daytona sandbox credentials to the subprocess env
blocklist so they're not leaked to agent terminal sessions via
printenv/env.
Cherry-picked from PR #1571 by ygd58.
* fix(gateway): cap interrupt recursion depth to prevent resource exhaustion (#816)
When a user sends multiple messages while the agent keeps failing,
_run_agent() calls itself recursively with no depth limit. This can
exhaust stack/memory if the agent is in a failure loop.
Add _MAX_INTERRUPT_DEPTH = 3. When exceeded, the pending message is
logged and the current result is returned instead of recursing deeper.
The log handler duplication bug described in #816 was already fixed
separately (AIAgent.__init__ deduplicates handlers).
* fix(gateway): /model shows active fallback model instead of config default (#1615)
When the agent falls back to a different model (e.g. due to rate
limiting), /model still showed the config default. Now tracks the
effective model/provider after each agent run and displays it.
Cleared when the primary model succeeds again or the user explicitly
switches via /model.
Cherry-picked from PR #1616 by MaxKerkula. Added hasattr guard for
test compatibility.
* feat(gateway): inject reply-to message context for out-of-session replies (#1594)
When a user replies to a Telegram message, check if the quoted text
exists in the current session transcript. If missing (from cron jobs,
background tasks, or old sessions), prepend [Replying to: "..."] to
the message so the agent has context about what's being referenced.
- Add reply_to_text field to MessageEvent (base.py)
- Populate from Telegram's reply_to_message (text or caption)
- Inject context in _handle_message when not found in history
Based on PR #1596 by anpicasso (cherry-picked reply-to feature only,
excluded unrelated /server command and background delegation changes).
* fix: recognize Claude Code OAuth credentials in startup gate (#1455)
The _has_any_provider_configured() startup check didn't look for
Claude Code OAuth credentials (~/.claude/.credentials.json). Users

* fix(security): harden terminal safety and sandbox file writes
Two security improvements:
1. Dangerous command detection: expand shell -c pattern to catch
combined flags (bash -lc, bash -ic, ksh -c) that were previously
undetected. Pattern changed from matching only 'bash -c' to
matching any shell invocation with -c anywhere in the flags.
2. File write sandboxing: add HERMES_WRITE_SAFE_ROOT env var that
constrains all write_file/patch operations to a configured directory
tree. Opt-in — when unset, behavior is unchanged. Useful for
gateway/messaging deployments that should only touch a workspace.

- tests/tools/test_skills_hub.py — regression tests for binary assets
* feat(tts): add NeuTTS as local TTS provider backend
Add NeuTTS as a fourth TTS provider option alongside Edge, ElevenLabs,
and OpenAI. NeuTTS runs fully on-device via neutts_cli — no API key
needed.
Provider behavior:
- Explicit: set tts.provider to 'neutts' in config.yaml
- Fallback: when Edge TTS is unavailable and neutts_cli is installed,
automatically falls back to NeuTTS instead of failing
- check_tts_requirements() now includes NeuTTS in availability checks
NeuTTS outputs WAV natively. For Telegram voice bubbles, ffmpeg
converts to Opus (same pattern as Edge TTS).
Changes:
- tools/tts_tool.py — _generate_neutts(), _check_neutts_available(),
provider dispatch, fallback logic, Opus conversion

validates a value against the whitelist without reading env vars.
Both paths (model config and named custom providers) now read api_mode

To preserve prompt caching, /tools disable/enable in a chat session
saves the change to config and resets the session cleanly — the user
is asked to confirm before the reset happens.
Also improves prefix matching: /qui now dispatches to /quit instead
of showing ambiguous when longer skill commands like /quint-pipeline
are installed.

Add HERMES_API_MODE env var and model.api_mode config field to let
custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints opt into codex_responses mode
without requiring the OpenAI Codex OAuth provider path.
- _get_configured_api_mode() reads HERMES_API_MODE env (precedence)
then model.api_mode from config.yaml; validates against whitelist
- Applied in both _resolve_openrouter_runtime() and
_resolve_named_custom_runtime() (original PR only covered openrouter)
- Fix _dump_api_request_debug() to show /responses URL when in
codex_responses mode instead of always showing /chat/completions
- Tests for config override, env override, invalid values, named
custom providers, and debug dump URL for both API modes

Add support for OpenCode Zen (pay-as-you-go, 35+ curated models) and
OpenCode Go ($10/month subscription, open models) as first-class providers.
Both are OpenAI-compatible endpoints resolved via the generic api_key
provider flow — no custom adapter needed.
Files changed:
- hermes_cli/auth.py — ProviderConfig entries + aliases
- hermes_cli/config.py — OPENCODE_ZEN/GO API key env vars
- hermes_cli/models.py — model catalogs, labels, aliases, provider order
- hermes_cli/main.py — provider labels, menu entries, model flow dispatch
- hermes_cli/setup.py — setup wizard branches (idx 10, 11)
- agent/model_metadata.py — context lengths for all OpenCode models
- agent/auxiliary_client.py — default aux models
- .env.example — documentation

Fixes hanging when using /skills install or /skills uninstall from the
TUI — bare input() calls hang inside prompt_toolkit's event loop.
Changes:
- Add skip_confirm parameter to do_install() and do_uninstall()
- Separate --yes/-y (confirmation bypass) from --force (scan override)
in both argparse and slash command handlers
- Update usage hint for /skills uninstall to show [--yes]
The original PR (#1595) accidentally deleted the install_from_quarantine()
call, which would have broken all installs. That bug is not present here.

Add 'custom' to the provider order so custom OpenAI-compatible
endpoints appear in /model list. Probes the endpoint's /models API
to dynamically discover available models.
Changes:
- Add 'custom' to _PROVIDER_ORDER in list_available_providers()
- Add _get_custom_base_url() helper to read model.base_url from config
- Add custom branch in provider_model_ids() using fetch_api_models()
- Custom endpoint detection via base_url presence for has_creds check

* feat(cli): two-stage /model autocomplete with ghost text suggestions
- SlashCommandCompleter: Tab-complete providers first (anthropic:, openrouter:, etc.)
then models within the selected provider
- SlashCommandAutoSuggest: inline ghost text for slash commands, subcommands,
and /model provider:model two-stage suggestions
- Custom Tab key binding: accepts provider completion and immediately
re-triggers completions to show that provider's models
- COMMANDS_BY_CATEGORY: structured format with explicit subcommands for
tab completion and ghost text (prompt, reasoning, voice, skills, cron, browser)
- SUBCOMMANDS dict auto-extracted from command definitions
- Model/provider info cached 60s for responsive completions
* fix: repair test regression and restore gold color from PR #1622
- Fix test_unknown_command_still_shows_error: patch _cprint instead of
console.print to match the _cprint switch in process_command()
- Restore gold color on 'Type /help' hint using _DIM + _GOLD constants
instead of bare \033[2m (was losing the #B8860B gold)
- Use _GOLD constant for ambiguous command message for consistency
- Add clarifying comment on SUBCOMMANDS regex fallback

- Bump _config_version 8 → 9
- Move stale ANTHROPIC_TOKEN clearing into 'if current_ver < 9' block
so it only runs once during the upgrade, not on every migrate_config()
- ANTHROPIC_TOKEN is still a valid auth path (OAuth flow), so we don't
want to clear it repeatedly — only during the one-time migration from
old setups that left it stale
- Add test_skips_on_version_9_or_later to verify one-time behavior
- All tests set config version 8 to trigger migration
- Remove *** placeholder detection from _sanitize_env_lines (was based on
confusing terminal redaction with literal file content)
- Add migrate_config() logic to clear stale ANTHROPIC_TOKEN when better
credentials exist (ANTHROPIC_API_KEY or Claude Code auto-discovery)
- Old ANTHROPIC_TOKEN values shadow Claude Code credential fallthrough,
breaking auth for users who updated without re-running setup
- Preserves ANTHROPIC_TOKEN when it's the only auth method available
- 3 new migration tests, updated existing tests
Fixes two corruption patterns that break API keys during updates:
1. Concatenated KEY=VALUE pairs on a single line due to missing newlines
(e.g. ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-...OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://...). Uses a
known-keys set to safely detect and split concatenated entries without
false-splitting values that contain uppercase text.
2. Stale KEY=*** placeholder entries left by incomplete setup runs that
never get updated and shadow real credentials.
Changes:
- Add _sanitize_env_lines() that splits concatenated known keys and drops
*** placeholders
- Add sanitize_env_file() public API for explicit repair
- Call sanitization in save_env_value() on every read (self-healing)
- Call sanitize_env_file() at the start of migrate_config() so existing
corrupted files are repaired on update
- 12 new tests covering splits, placeholders, edge cases, and integration
Introduce a cloud browser provider abstraction so users can switch
between Local Browser, Browserbase, and Browser Use (or future providers)
via hermes tools / hermes setup.
Cloud browser providers are behind an ABC (tools/browser_providers/base.py)
so adding a new provider is a single-file addition with no changes to
browser_tool.py internals.
Changes:
- tools/browser_providers/ package with ABC, Browserbase extraction,
and Browser Use provider
- browser_tool.py refactored to use _PROVIDER_REGISTRY + _get_cloud_provider()
(cached) instead of hardcoded _is_local_mode() / _create_browserbase_session()
- tools_config.py: generic _is_provider_active() / _detect_active_provider_index()
replace TTS-only logic; Browser Use added as third browser option
- config.py: BROWSER_USE_API_KEY added to OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS + show_config + allowlist
- subprocess pipe hang fix: agent-browser daemon inherits pipe fds,
communicate() blocks. Replaced with Popen + temp files.
