df806bdbaf feat(cron): add cron.wrap_response config to disable delivery wrapping (#3807)
Adds a config option to suppress the header/footer text that wraps
cron job responses when delivered to messaging platforms.

Set cron.wrap_response: false in config.yaml for clean output without
the 'Cronjob Response: <name>' header and 'The agent cannot see this
message' footer.  Default is true (preserves current behavior).

c4cf20f564 fix: clear __pycache__ during update to prevent stale bytecode ImportError (#3819)
Third report of gateway crashing with:
  ImportError: cannot import name 'get_hermes_home' from 'hermes_constants'

Root cause: stale .pyc bytecode files survive code updates. When Python
loads a cached .pyc that references names from the old source, the import
fails and the gateway won't start.

Two bugs fixed:
1. Git update path: no cache clearing at all after git pull
2. ZIP update path: __pycache__ was explicitly in the preserve set

Added _clear_bytecode_cache() helper that removes all __pycache__ dirs
under PROJECT_ROOT (skipping venv/node_modules/.git/.worktrees). Called
in both git and ZIP update paths, before pip install.

252fbea005 feat(providers): add ordered fallback provider chain (salvage #1761) (#3813)
Extends the single fallback_model mechanism into an ordered chain.
When the primary model fails, Hermes tries each fallback provider in
sequence until one succeeds or the chain is exhausted.

Config format (new):
  fallback_providers:
    - provider: openrouter
      model: anthropic/claude-sonnet-4
    - provider: openai
      model: gpt-4o

Legacy single-dict fallback_model format still works unchanged.

Key fix vs original PR: the call sites in the retry loop now use
_fallback_index < len(_fallback_chain) instead of the old one-shot
_fallback_activated guard, so the chain actually advances through
all configured providers.

Changes:
- run_agent.py: _fallback_chain list + _fallback_index replaces
  one-shot _fallback_model; _try_activate_fallback() advances
  through chain; failed provider resolution skips to next entry;
  call sites updated to allow chain advancement
- cli.py: reads fallback_providers with legacy fallback_model compat
- gateway/run.py: same
- hermes_cli/config.py: fallback_providers: [] in DEFAULT_CONFIG
- tests: 12 new chain tests + 6 existing test fixtures updated

6716e66e89 feat: add MCP server mode — hermes mcp serve (#3795)
hermes mcp serve starts a stdio MCP server that lets any MCP client
(Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, etc.) interact with Hermes conversations.

Matches OpenClaw's 9-tool channel bridge surface:

Tools exposed:
- conversations_list: list active sessions across all platforms
- conversation_get: details on one conversation
- messages_read: read message history
- attachments_fetch: extract non-text content from messages
- events_poll: poll for new events since a cursor
- events_wait: long-poll / block until next event (near-real-time)
- messages_send: send to any platform via send_message_tool
- channels_list: browse available messaging targets
- permissions_list_open: list pending approval requests
- permissions_respond: allow/deny approvals

Architecture:
- EventBridge: background thread polls SessionDB for new messages,
  maintains in-memory event queue with waiter support
- Reads sessions.json + SessionDB directly (no gateway dep for reads)
- Reuses send_message_tool for sending (same platform adapters)
- FastMCP server with stdio transport
- Zero new dependencies (uses existing mcp>=1.2.0 optional dep)

Files:
- mcp_serve.py: MCP server + EventBridge (~600 lines)
- hermes_cli/main.py: added serve sub-parser to hermes mcp
- hermes_cli/mcp_config.py: route serve action to run_mcp_server
- tests/test_mcp_serve.py: 53 tests
- docs: updated MCP page + CLI commands reference

ee3d2941cc feat: show estimated tool token context in hermes tools checklist (#3805)
* feat: show estimated tool token context in hermes tools checklist

Adds a live token estimate indicator to the bottom of the interactive
tool configuration checklist (hermes tools / hermes setup). As users
toggle toolsets on/off, the total estimated context cost updates in
real time.

Implementation:
- tools/registry.py: Add get_schema() for check_fn-free schema access
- hermes_cli/curses_ui.py: Add optional status_fn callback to
  curses_checklist — renders at bottom-right of terminal, stays fixed
  while items scroll
- hermes_cli/tools_config.py: Add _estimate_tool_tokens() using
  tiktoken (cl100k_base, already installed) to count tokens in the
  JSON-serialised OpenAI-format tool schemas. Results are cached
  per-process. The status function deduplicates overlapping tools
  (e.g. browser includes web_search) for accurate totals.
- 12 new tests covering estimation, caching, graceful degradation
  when tiktoken is unavailable, status_fn wiring, deduplication,
  and the numbered fallback display

* fix: use effective toolsets (includes plugins) for token estimation index mapping

The status_fn closure built ts_keys from CONFIGURABLE_TOOLSETS but the
checklist uses _get_effective_configurable_toolsets() which appends plugin
toolsets. With plugins present, the indices would mismatch, causing
IndexError when selecting a plugin toolset.

c62cadb73a fix: make display_hermes_home imports lazy to prevent ImportError during hermes update (#3776)
When a user runs 'hermes update', the Python process caches old modules
in sys.modules.  After git pull updates files on disk, lazy imports of
newly-updated modules fail because they try to import display_hermes_home
from the cached (old) hermes_constants which doesn't have the function.

This specifically broke the gateway auto-restart in cmd_update — importing
hermes_cli/gateway.py triggered the top-level 'from hermes_constants
import display_hermes_home' against the cached old module.  The ImportError
was silently caught, so the gateway was never restarted after update.

Users with a running gateway then hit the ImportError on their next
Telegram/Discord message when the stale gateway process lazily loaded
run_agent.py (new version) which also had the top-level import.

Fixes:
- hermes_cli/gateway.py: lazy import at call site (line 940)
- run_agent.py: lazy import at call site (line 6927)
- tools/terminal_tool.py: lazy imports at 3 call sites
- tools/tts_tool.py: static schema string (no module-level call)
- hermes_cli/auth.py: lazy import at call site (line 2024)
- hermes_cli/main.py: reload hermes_constants after git pull in cmd_update

Also fixes 4 pre-existing test failures in test_parse_env_var caused by
NameError on display_hermes_home in terminal_tool.py.

f6db1b27ba feat: add profiles — run multiple isolated Hermes instances (#3681)
Each profile is a fully independent HERMES_HOME with its own config,
API keys, memory, sessions, skills, gateway, cron, and state.db.

Core module: hermes_cli/profiles.py (~900 lines)
  - Profile CRUD: create, delete, list, show, rename
  - Three clone levels: blank, --clone (config), --clone-all (everything)
  - Export/import: tar.gz archive for backup and migration
  - Wrapper alias scripts (~/.local/bin/<name>)
  - Collision detection for alias names
  - Sticky default via ~/.hermes/active_profile
  - Skill seeding via subprocess (handles module-level caching)
  - Auto-stop gateway on delete with disable-before-stop for services
  - Tab completion generation for bash and zsh

CLI integration (hermes_cli/main.py):
  - _apply_profile_override(): pre-import -p/--profile flag + sticky default
  - Full 'hermes profile' subcommand: list, use, create, delete, show,
    alias, rename, export, import
  - 'hermes completion bash/zsh' command
  - Multi-profile skill sync in hermes update

Display (cli.py, banner.py, gateway/run.py):
  - CLI prompt: 'coder ❯' when using a non-default profile
  - Banner shows profile name
  - Gateway startup log includes profile name

Gateway safety:
  - Token locks: Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal (extends Telegram pattern)
  - Port conflict detection: API server, webhook adapter

Diagnostics (hermes_cli/doctor.py):
  - Profile health section: lists profiles, checks config, .env, aliases
  - Orphan alias detection: warns when wrapper points to deleted profile

Tests (tests/hermes_cli/test_profiles.py):
  - 71 automated tests covering: validation, CRUD, clone levels, rename,
    export/import, active profile, isolation, alias collision, completion
  - Full suite: 6760 passed, 0 new failures

Documentation:
  - website/docs/user-guide/profiles.md: full user guide (12 sections)
  - website/docs/reference/profile-commands.md: command reference (12 commands)
  - website/docs/reference/faq.md: 6 profile FAQ entries
  - website/sidebars.ts: navigation updated

0df4d1278e feat(plugins): add enable/disable commands + interactive toggle UI (#3747)
Adds plugin management with three interfaces:

  hermes plugins          # interactive curses checklist (like hermes tools)
  hermes plugins enable   # non-interactive enable
  hermes plugins disable  # non-interactive disable
  hermes plugins list     # table with status column

Disabled plugins are stored in config.yaml under plugins.disabled and
skipped during discovery. Uses the same curses_checklist component as
hermes tools for the interactive UI.

Changes:
- hermes_cli/plugins.py: _get_disabled_plugins() + skip disabled during
  discover_and_load()
- hermes_cli/plugins_cmd.py: cmd_toggle() interactive UI, cmd_enable(),
  cmd_disable(), updated cmd_list() with status column
- hermes_cli/main.py: enable/disable subparser entries
- website/docs/reference/cli-commands.md: updated plugins section

909de72426 fix: set api_mode when switching providers via hermes model (#3726)
When switching providers via 'hermes model', the previous provider's
api_mode persisted in config.yaml. Switching from Copilot
(codex_responses) to a chat_completions provider like Z.AI would send
requests to the wrong endpoint (404).

Set api_mode = chat_completions in the 4 provider flows that were
missing it: OpenRouter, custom endpoint, Kimi, and api_key_provider.

fcd1645223 feat(skills): support external skill directories via config (#3678)
Add skills.external_dirs config option — a list of additional directories
to scan for skills alongside ~/.hermes/skills/. External dirs are read-only:
skill creation/editing always writes to the local dir. Local skills take
precedence when names collide.

This lets users share skills across tools/agents without copying them into
Hermes's own directory (e.g. ~/.agents/skills, /shared/team-skills).

Changes:
- agent/skill_utils.py: add get_external_skills_dirs() and get_all_skills_dirs()
- agent/prompt_builder.py: scan external dirs in build_skills_system_prompt()
- tools/skills_tool.py: _find_all_skills() and skill_view() search external dirs;
  security check recognizes configured external dirs as trusted
- agent/skill_commands.py: /skill slash commands discover external skills
- hermes_cli/config.py: add skills.external_dirs to DEFAULT_CONFIG
- cli-config.yaml.example: document the option
- tests/agent/test_external_skills.py: 11 tests covering discovery, precedence,
  deduplication, and skill_view for external skills

Add per-task timeout settings under auxiliary.{task}.timeout in config.yaml

dabe3c34cc feat(webhook): hermes webhook CLI + skill for event-driven subscriptions (#3578)
Adds 'hermes webhook' CLI subcommand and a skill — zero new model tools.

CLI commands (require webhook platform to be enabled):
  hermes webhook subscribe <name> [--events, --prompt, --deliver, ...]
  hermes webhook list
  hermes webhook remove <name>
  hermes webhook test <name>

All commands gate on webhook platform being enabled in config. If not
configured, prints setup instructions (gateway setup wizard, manual
config.yaml, or env vars).

The agent uses these via terminal tool, guided by the webhook-subscriptions
skill which documents setup, common patterns (GitHub, Stripe, CI/CD,
monitoring), prompt template syntax, security, and troubleshooting.

Adapter enhancement: webhook.py hot-reloads dynamic subscriptions from
~/.hermes/webhook_subscriptions.json on each incoming request (mtime-gated).
Static config.yaml routes always take precedence.

Docs: updated webhooks.md with Dynamic Subscriptions section, added
hermes webhook to cli-commands.md reference.

No new model tools. No toolset changes.

24 new tests for CLI CRUD, persistence, enabled-gate, and adapter
dynamic route loading.

82d6c28bd5 fix(skills): cache-aware /skills install and uninstall in TUI (#3586)
Two fixes for /skills install and /skills uninstall slash commands:

1. input() hangs indefinitely inside prompt_toolkit's TUI event loop,
   soft-locking the CLI. The user typing the slash command is already
   implicit consent, so confirmation is now always skipped.

2. Cache invalidation was unconditional — installing or uninstalling a
   skill mid-session silently broke the prompt cache, increasing costs.
   The slash handler now defers cache invalidation by default (skill
   takes effect next session). Pass --now to invalidate immediately,
   with a message explaining the cost tradeoff. The CLI argparse path
   (hermes skills install) is unaffected and still invalidates.

e97c0cb578 fix: replace hardcoded ~/.hermes paths with get_hermes_home() for profile support
* feat: GPT tool-use steering + strip budget warnings from history

Two changes to improve tool reliability, especially for OpenAI GPT models:

1. GPT tool-use enforcement prompt: Adds GPT_TOOL_USE_GUIDANCE to the
   system prompt when the model name contains 'gpt' and tools are loaded.
   This addresses a known behavioral pattern where GPT models describe
   intended actions ('I will run the tests') instead of actually making
   tool calls. Inspired by similar steering in OpenCode (beast.txt) and
   Cline (GPT-5.1 variant).

2. Budget warning history stripping: Budget pressure warnings injected by
   _get_budget_warning() into tool results are now stripped when
   conversation history is replayed via run_conversation(). Previously,
   these turn-scoped signals persisted across turns, causing models to
   avoid tool calls in all subsequent messages after any turn that hit
   the 70-90% iteration threshold.

* fix: replace hardcoded ~/.hermes paths with get_hermes_home() for profile support

Prep for the upcoming profiles feature — each profile is a separate
HERMES_HOME directory, so all paths must respect the env var.

Fixes:
- gateway/platforms/matrix.py: Matrix E2EE store was hardcoded to
  ~/.hermes/matrix/store, ignoring HERMES_HOME. Now uses
  get_hermes_home() so each profile gets its own Matrix state.

- gateway/platforms/telegram.py: Two locations reading config.yaml via
  Path.home()/.hermes instead of get_hermes_home(). DM topic thread_id
  persistence and hot-reload would read the wrong config in a profile.

- tools/file_tools.py: Security path for hub index blocking was
  hardcoded to ~/.hermes, would miss the actual profile's hub cache.

- hermes_cli/gateway.py: Service naming now uses the profile name
  (hermes-gateway-coder) instead of a cryptic hash suffix. Extracted
  _profile_suffix() helper shared by systemd and launchd.

- hermes_cli/gateway.py: Launchd plist path and Label now scoped per
  profile (ai.hermes.gateway-coder.plist). Previously all profiles
  would collide on the same plist file on macOS.

- hermes_cli/gateway.py: Launchd plist now includes HERMES_HOME in
  EnvironmentVariables — was missing entirely, making custom
  HERMES_HOME broken on macOS launchd (pre-existing bug).

- All launchctl commands in gateway.py, main.py, status.py updated
  to use get_launchd_label() instead of hardcoded string.

Test fixes: DM topic tests now set HERMES_HOME env var alongside
Path.home() mock. Launchd test uses get_launchd_label() for expected
commands.

returns None, then .strip() crashes with AttributeError.

Use (x or '') pattern to handle both missing and null cases.

df6ce848e9 fix(provider): remove MiniMax /v1→/anthropic auto-correction to allow user override (#3553)
The minimax-specific auto-correction in runtime_provider.py was
preventing users from overriding to the OpenAI-compatible endpoint
via MINIMAX_BASE_URL. Users in certain regions get nginx 404 on
api.minimax.io/anthropic and need to switch to api.minimax.chat/v1.

The generic URL-suffix detection already handles /anthropic →
anthropic_messages, so the minimax-specific code was redundant for
the default path and harmful for the override path.

Now: default /anthropic URL works via generic detection, user
override to /v1 gets chat_completions mode naturally.

Closes #3546 (different approach — respects user overrides instead
of changing the default endpoint).

735ca9dfb2 refactor: replace swe-rex with native Modal SDK for Modal backend (#3538)
Drop the swe-rex dependency for Modal terminal backend and use the
Modal SDK directly (Sandbox.create + Sandbox.exec). This fixes:

- AsyncUsageWarning from synchronous App.lookup() in async context
- DeprecationError from unencrypted_ports / .url on unencrypted tunnels
  (deprecated 2026-03-05)

The new implementation:
- Uses modal.App.lookup.aio() for async-safe app creation
- Uses Sandbox.create.aio() with 'sleep infinity' entrypoint
- Uses Sandbox.exec.aio() for direct command execution (no HTTP server
  or tunnel needed)
- Keeps all existing features: persistent filesystem snapshots,
  configurable resources (CPU/memory/disk), sudo support, interrupt
  handling, _AsyncWorker for event loop safety

Consistent with the Docker backend precedent (PR #2804) where we
removed mini-swe-agent in favor of direct docker run.

Files changed:
- tools/environments/modal.py - core rewrite
- tools/terminal_tool.py - health check: modal instead of swerex
- hermes_cli/setup.py - install modal instead of swe-rex[modal]
- pyproject.toml - modal extra: modal>=1.0.0 instead of swe-rex[modal]
- scripts/kill_modal.sh - grep for hermes-agent instead of swe-rex
- tests/ - updated for new implementation
- environments/README.md - updated patches section
- website/docs - updated install command

455bf2e853 feat: activate plugin lifecycle hooks (pre/post_llm_call, session start/end) (#3542)
The plugin system defined six lifecycle hooks but only pre_tool_call and
post_tool_call were invoked.  This activates the remaining four so that
external plugins (e.g. memory systems) can hook into the conversation
loop without touching core code.

Hook semantics:
- on_session_start: fires once when a new session is created
- pre_llm_call: fires once per turn before the tool-calling loop;
  plugins can return {"context": "..."} to inject into the ephemeral
  system prompt (not cached, not persisted)
- post_llm_call: fires once per turn after the loop completes, with
  user_message and assistant_response for sync/storage
- on_session_end: fires at the end of every run_conversation call

invoke_hook() now returns a list of non-None callback return values,
enabling pre_llm_call context injection while remaining backward
compatible (existing hooks that return None are unaffected).

9d4b3e5470 fix: harden hermes update against diverged history, non-main branches, and gateway edge cases (salvage #3489) (#3492)
* fix: harden `hermes update` against diverged history, non-main branches, and gateway edge cases

The self-update command (`hermes update` / gateway `/update`) could fail
or silently corrupt state in several scenarios:

1. **Diverged history** — `git pull --ff-only` aborts with a cryptic
   subprocess error when upstream has force-pushed or rebased. Now falls
   back to `git reset --hard origin/main` since local changes are already
   stashed.

2. **User on a feature branch / detached HEAD** — the old code would
   either clobber the feature branch HEAD to point at origin/main, or
   silently pull against a non-existent remote branch. Now auto-checkouts
   main before pulling, with a clear warning.

3. **Fetch failures** — network or auth errors produced raw subprocess
   tracebacks. Now shows user-friendly messages ("Network error",
   "Authentication failed") with actionable hints.

4. **reset --hard failure** — if the fallback reset itself fails (disk
   full, permissions), the old code would still attempt stash restore on
   a broken working tree. Now skips restore and tells the user their
   changes are safe in stash.

5. **Gateway /update stash conflicts** — non-interactive mode (Telegram
   `/update`) called sys.exit(1) when stash restore had conflicts, making
   the entire update report as failed even though the code update itself
   succeeded. Now treats stash conflicts as non-fatal in non-interactive
   mode (returns False instead of exiting).

* fix: restore stash and branch on 'already up to date' early return

The PR moved stash creation before the commit-count check (needed for
the branch-switching feature), but the 'already up to date' early return
didn't restore the stash or switch back to the original branch — leaving
the user stranded on main with changes trapped in a stash.

Now the early-return path restores the stash and checks out the original
branch when applicable.

09796b183b fix: alibaba provider default endpoint and model list (#3484)
- Change default inference_base_url from dashscope-intl Anthropic-compat
  endpoint to coding-intl OpenAI-compat /v1 endpoint. The old Anthropic
  endpoint 404'd when used with the OpenAI SDK (which appends
  /chat/completions to a /apps/anthropic base URL).

- Update curated model list: remove models unavailable on coding-intl
  (qwen3-max, qwen-plus-latest, qwen3.5-flash, qwen-vl-max), add
  third-party models available on the platform (glm-5, glm-4.7,
  kimi-k2.5, MiniMax-M2.5).

- URL-based api_mode auto-detection still works: overriding
  DASHSCOPE_BASE_URL to an /apps/anthropic endpoint automatically
  switches to anthropic_messages mode.

- Update provider description and env var descriptions to reflect the
  coding-intl multi-provider platform.

- Update tests to match new default URL and test the anthropic override
  path instead.

b6b87dedd4 fix: discover plugins before reading plugin toolsets in tools_config (#3457)
hermes tools and _get_platform_tools() call get_plugin_toolsets() /
_get_plugin_toolset_keys() without first ensuring plugins have been
discovered. discover_plugins() only runs as a side effect of importing
model_tools.py, which hermes tools never does. This means:

- hermes tools TUI never shows plugin toolsets (invisible to users)
- _get_platform_tools() in standalone processes misses plugin toolsets

Fix: call discover_plugins() (idempotent) in both
_get_plugin_toolset_keys() and _get_effective_configurable_toolsets()
before accessing plugin state. In the gateway/CLI where model_tools.py
is already imported, the call is a no-op (discover_and_load checks
_discovered flag).

5127567d5d perf(ttft): cache skills prompt with shared skill_utils module (salvage #3366) (#3421)
Two-layer caching for build_skills_system_prompt():
  1. In-process LRU (OrderedDict, max 8) — same-process: 546ms → <1ms
  2. Disk snapshot (.skills_prompt_snapshot.json) — cold start: 297ms → 103ms

Key improvements over original PR #3366:
- Extract shared logic into agent/skill_utils.py (parse_frontmatter,
  skill_matches_platform, get_disabled_skill_names, extract_skill_conditions,
  extract_skill_description, iter_skill_index_files)
- tools/skills_tool.py delegates to shared module — zero code duplication
- Proper LRU eviction via OrderedDict.move_to_end + popitem(last=False)
- Cache invalidation on all skill mutation paths:
  - skill_manage tool (in-conversation writes)
  - hermes skills install (CLI hub)
  - hermes skills uninstall (CLI hub)
  - Automatic via mtime/size manifest on cold start

prompt_builder.py no longer imports tools.skills_tool (avoids pulling
in the entire tool registry chain at prompt build time).

6301 tests pass, 0 failures.

18d28c63a7 fix: add explicit hermes-api-server toolset for API server platform (#3304)
The API server adapter was creating agents without specifying
enabled_toolsets, causing ALL tools to load — including clarify,
send_message, and text_to_speech which don't work without interactive
callbacks or gateway dispatch.

Changes:
- toolsets.py: Add hermes-api-server toolset (core tools minus clarify,
  send_message, text_to_speech)
- api_server.py: Resolve toolsets from config.yaml platform_toolsets
  via _get_platform_tools() — same path as all other gateway platforms.
  Falls back to hermes-api-server default when no override configured.
- tools_config.py: Add api_server to PLATFORMS dict so users can
  customize via 'hermes tools' or platform_toolsets.api_server in
  config.yaml
- 12 tests covering toolset definition, config resolution, and
  user override

2d232c9991 feat(cli): configurable busy input mode + fix /queue always working (#3298)
Two changes:

1. Fix /queue command: remove the _agent_running guard that rejected
   /queue after the agent finished. The prompt was deferred in
   _pending_input until the agent completed, then the handler checked
   _agent_running (now False) and rejected it. /queue now always queues
   regardless of timing.

2. Add display.busy_input_mode config (CLI-only):
   - 'interrupt' (default): Enter while busy interrupts the current run
     (preserves existing behavior)
   - 'queue': Enter while busy queues the message for the next turn,
     with a 'Queued for the next turn: ...' confirmation
   Ctrl+C always interrupts regardless of this setting.

Salvaged from PR #3037 by StefanoChiodino. Key differences:
- Default is 'interrupt' (preserves existing behavior) not 'queue'
- No config version bump (unnecessary for new key in existing section)
- Simpler normalization (no alias map)
- /queue fix is simpler: just remove the guard instead of intercepting
  commands during busy state

bdccdd67a1 fix: OpenClaw migration overwrites defaults and setup wizard skips imported sections (#3282)
Two bugs caused the OpenClaw migration during first-time setup to be
ineffective, forcing users to reconfigure everything manually:

1. The setup wizard created config.yaml with all defaults BEFORE running
   the migration, then the migrator ran with overwrite=False. Every config
   setting was reported as a 'conflict' against the defaults and skipped.
   Fix: use overwrite=True during setup-time migration (safe because only
   defaults exist at that point). The hermes claw migrate CLI command
   still defaults to overwrite=False for post-setup use.

2. After migration, the full setup wizard ran all 5 sections unconditionally,
   forcing the user through model/terminal/agent/messaging/tools configuration
   even when those settings were just imported.
   Fix: add _get_section_config_summary() and _skip_configured_section()
   helpers. After migration, each section checks if it's already configured
   (API keys present, non-default values, platform tokens) and offers
   'Reconfigure? [y/N]' with default No. Unconfigured sections still run
   normally.

72250b5f62 feat: config-gated /verbose command for messaging gateway (#3262)
* feat: config-gated /verbose command for messaging gateway

Add gateway_config_gate field to CommandDef, allowing cli_only commands
to be conditionally available in the gateway based on a config value.

- CommandDef gains gateway_config_gate: str | None — a config dotpath
  that, when truthy, overrides cli_only for gateway surfaces
- /verbose uses gateway_config_gate='display.tool_progress_command'
- Default is off (cli_only behavior preserved)
- When enabled, /verbose cycles tool_progress mode (off/new/all/verbose)
  in the gateway, saving to config.yaml — same cycle as the CLI
- Gateway helpers (help, telegram menus, slack mapping) dynamically
  check config to include/exclude config-gated commands
- GATEWAY_KNOWN_COMMANDS always includes config-gated commands so
  the gateway recognizes them and can respond appropriately
- Handles YAML 1.1 bool coercion (bare 'off' parses as False)
- 8 new tests for the config gate mechanism + gateway handler

* docs: document gateway_config_gate and /verbose messaging support

- AGENTS.md: add gateway_config_gate to CommandDef fields
- slash-commands.md: note /verbose can be enabled for messaging, update Notes
- configuration.md: add tool_progress_command to display section + usage note
- cli.md: cross-link to config docs for messaging enablement
- messaging/index.md: show tool_progress_command in config snippet

- Strip skills-sh/ prefix in _resolve_trust_level() so trusted repos
  stay trusted when installed through skills.sh
- Use resolved identifier (from bundle/meta) for scan_skill source

Cherry-picked from PR #3001 by kshitijk4poor.

* fix: restore candidate loop in SkillsShSource.fetch() for consistency

The cherry-picked PR only tried the first candidate identifier in
fetch() while inspect() (via _resolve_github_meta) tried all four.
This meant skills at repo/skills/path would be found by inspect but
missed by fetch, forcing it through the heavier _discover_identifier
flow. Restore the candidate loop so both paths behave identically.

Updated the test assertion to match.

Gateway sessions had their own inline toolset resolution that only read
platform_toolsets from config, which never includes MCP server names.
MCP tools were discovered and registered but invisible to the model.

- Replace duplicated gateway toolset resolution in _run_agent() and

- Extend _get_platform_tools() to include globally enabled MCP servers
  at runtime (include_default_mcp_servers=True), while config-editing
  flows use include_default_mcp_servers=False to avoid persisting
  implicit MCP defaults into platform_toolsets
- Add homeassistant to PLATFORMS dict (was missing, caused KeyError)
- Fix CLI entry point to use _get_platform_tools() as well, so MCP
  tools are visible in CLI mode too
