- Added _max_tokens_param method in AIAgent to return appropriate max tokens parameter based on the provider (OpenAI vs. others).
- Updated API calls in AIAgent to utilize the new max tokens handling.
- Introduced auxiliary_max_tokens_param function in auxiliary_client for consistent max tokens management across auxiliary clients.
- Refactored multiple tools to use auxiliary_max_tokens_param for improved compatibility with different models and providers.
- Added functionality to include product attribution tags for Nous Portal in auxiliary API calls.
- Introduced a mechanism to determine if the auxiliary client is backed by Nous Portal, affecting the extra body of requests.
- Updated various tools to utilize the new extra body configuration for enhanced tracking in API calls.
- Added a new function to resolve child sessions to their parent, improving session grouping and deduplication.
- Refactored session summarization to run in parallel, enhancing performance and responsiveness.
- Updated search syntax documentation to clarify usage of keywords and phrases for better search results.
- Introduced a new `_format_timestamp` function to convert Unix timestamps and ISO strings into a human-readable date format.
- Updated the session metadata handling to use the new formatting function for improved clarity in session start dates.
- Adjusted the output structure to reflect the change from "Session started" to "Session date" for better user understanding.
- Introduced MEMORY_GUIDANCE and SESSION_SEARCH_GUIDANCE to improve agent's contextual awareness and proactive assistance.
- Updated AIAgent to conditionally include tool-aware guidance in prompts based on available tools.
- Enhanced descriptions in memory and session search schemas for clearer user instructions on when to utilize these features.
- Introduced a new DebugSession class in tools/debug_helpers.py to centralize debug logging functionality, replacing duplicated code across various tool modules.
- Updated image_generation_tool.py, mixture_of_agents_tool.py, vision_tools.py, web_tools.py, and others to utilize the new DebugSession for logging tool calls and saving debug logs.
- Enhanced maintainability and consistency in debug logging practices across the codebase.
Two-part implementation:
Part A - Curated Bounded Memory:
- New memory tool (tools/memory_tool.py) with MEMORY.md + USER.md stores
- Character-limited (2200/1375 chars), § delimited entries
- Frozen snapshot injected into system prompt at session start
- Model manages pruning via replace/remove with substring matching
- Usage indicator shown in system prompt header
Part B - SQLite Session Store:
- New hermes_state.py with SessionDB class, FTS5 full-text search
- Gateway session.py rewritten to dual-write SQLite + legacy JSONL
- Compression-triggered session splitting with parent_session_id chains
- New session_search tool with Gemini Flash summarization of matched sessions
- CLI session lifecycle (create on launch, close on exit)
Also:
- System prompt now cached per session, only rebuilt on compression
(fixes prefix cache invalidation from date/time changes every turn)
- Config version bumped to 3, hermes doctor checks for new artifacts
- Disabled in batch_runner and RL environments
