* 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.

Checkpoint & rollback upgrades:
1. Enabled by default — checkpoints are now on for all new sessions.
Zero cost when no file-mutating tools fire. Disable with
checkpoints.enabled: false in config.yaml.
2. Diff preview — /rollback diff <N> shows a git diff between the
checkpoint and current working tree before committing to a restore.
3. File-level restore — /rollback <N> <file> restores a single file
from a checkpoint instead of the entire directory.
4. Conversation undo on rollback — when restoring files, the last
chat turn is automatically undone so the agent's context matches
the restored filesystem state.
5. Terminal command checkpoints — destructive terminal commands (rm,
mv, sed -i, truncate, git reset/clean, output redirects) now
trigger automatic checkpoints before execution. Previously only
write_file and patch were covered.
6. Change summary in listing — /rollback now shows file count and
+insertions/-deletions for each checkpoint.
7. Fixed dead code — removed duplicate _run_git call in
list_checkpoints with nonsensical --all if False condition.
8. Updated help text — /rollback with no args now shows available
subcommands (diff, file-level restore).
Multiple Hermes installations on the same machine now get unique
systemd service names:
- Default ~/.hermes → hermes-gateway (backward compatible)
- Custom HERMES_HOME → hermes-gateway-<8-char-hash>
Changes:
- Add get_service_name() in hermes_cli/gateway.py that derives a
deterministic service name from HERMES_HOME via SHA256
- Replace all hardcoded 'hermes-gateway' systemd references with
get_service_name() across gateway.py, main.py, status.py, uninstall.py
- Add HERMES_HOME env var to both user and system systemd unit templates
so the gateway process uses the correct installation
- Update tests to use get_service_name() in assertions
cmd_update only ran 'systemctl --user restart hermes-gateway', which
left manually-started gateway processes alive, causing duplicates.
Now uses get_running_pid() from gateway/status.py (scoped to
HERMES_HOME) to find and SIGTERM this installation's gateway before
restarting. Safe with multiple Hermes installations since each
HERMES_HOME has its own PID file.
If no systemd service exists, informs the user to restart manually.
Based on PR #1131 by teknium1. Dropped the cli.py Rich from_ansi
changes (already on main).
When typing /model deepseek-chat while on a different provider, the
model name now auto-resolves to the correct provider instead of
silently staying on the wrong one and causing API errors.
Detection priority:
1. Direct provider with credentials (e.g. DEEPSEEK_API_KEY set)
2. OpenRouter catalog match with proper slug remapping
3. Direct provider without creds (clear error beats silent failure)
Also adds DeepSeek as a first-class API-key provider — just set
DEEPSEEK_API_KEY and /model deepseek-chat routes directly.
Bare model names get remapped to proper OpenRouter slugs:
/model gpt-5.4 → openai/gpt-5.4
/model claude-opus-4.6 → anthropic/claude-opus-4.6
Salvages the concept from PR #1177 by @virtaava with credential
awareness and OpenRouter slug mapping added.

_update_config_for_provider() was called immediately after provider
selection for zai, kimi-coding, minimax, minimax-cn, and anthropic —
before model selection happened. Since the gateway re-reads config.yaml
per-message, this created a race where the gateway would pick up the
new provider but still use the old (incompatible) model name.
Capture selected_base_url in each provider block, then call
_update_config_for_provider() once, after model selection completes,
right before save_config(). The in-memory _set_model_provider() calls
stay in place so the config object remains consistent during setup.
Closes#1182
- Add 'emoji' field to ToolEntry and 'get_emoji()' to ToolRegistry
- Add emoji= to all 50+ registry.register() calls across tool files
- Add get_tool_emoji() helper in agent/display.py with 3-tier resolution:
skin override → registry default → hardcoded fallback
- Replace hardcoded emoji maps in run_agent.py, delegate_tool.py, and
gateway/run.py with centralized get_tool_emoji() calls
- Add 'tool_emojis' field to SkinConfig so skins can override per-tool
emojis (e.g. ares skin could use swords instead of wrenches)
- Add 11 tests (5 registry emoji, 6 display/skin integration)
- Update AGENTS.md skin docs table
Based on the approach from PR #1061 by ForgingAlex (emoji centralization
in registry). This salvage fixes several issues from the original:
- Does NOT split the cronjob tool (which would crash on missing schemas)
- Does NOT change image_generate toolset/requires_env/is_async
- Does NOT delete existing tests
- Completes the centralization (gateway/run.py was missed)
- Hooks into the skin system for full customizability
SSH persistent shell now defaults to true — non-local backends benefit
most from state persistence across execute() calls. Local backend
remains opt-in via TERMINAL_LOCAL_PERSISTENT env var.
New config.yaml option: terminal.persistent_shell (default: true)
Controls the default for non-local backends. Users can disable with:
hermes config set terminal.persistent_shell false
Precedence: per-backend env var > TERMINAL_PERSISTENT_SHELL > default.
Wired through cli.py, gateway/run.py, and hermes_cli/config.py so the
config.yaml value reaches terminal_tool via env var bridge.
Two changes to align Discord behavior with Slack:
1. Auto-thread on @mention (default: true)
- When someone @mentions the bot in a server channel, a thread is
automatically created from their message and the response goes there.
- Each thread gets its own isolated session (like Slack).
- Configurable via discord.auto_thread in config.yaml (default: true)
or DISCORD_AUTO_THREAD env var (env takes precedence).
- DMs and existing threads are unaffected.
2. Skip @mention in bot-participated threads
- Once the bot has responded in a thread (auto-created or manually
entered), subsequent messages in that thread no longer require
@mention. Users can just type normally.
- Tracked via in-memory set (_bot_participated_threads). After a
gateway restart, users need to @mention once to re-establish.
- Threads the bot hasn't participated in still require @mention.
Config change:
discord:
auto_thread: true # new, added to DEFAULT_CONFIG
Tests: 7 new tests covering auto-thread default, disable, bot thread
participation tracking, and mention skip logic. All 903 gateway tests pass.
Hermes startup entrypoints now load ~/.hermes/.env and project fallback env files with user config taking precedence over stale shell-exported values. This makes model/provider/base URL changes in .env actually take effect after restarting Hermes. Adds a shared env loader plus regression coverage, and reproduces the original bug case where OPENAI_BASE_URL and HERMES_INFERENCE_PROVIDER remained stuck on old shell values before import.

_save_platform_tools() overwrote the entire platform_toolsets list with
only the toolsets known to CONFIGURABLE_TOOLSETS. This silently dropped
any MCP server toolsets that users had added manually to config.yaml.
Fix: collect any existing toolset keys that are not in CONFIGURABLE_TOOLSETS
and append them back after the wizard's selections are written. This ensures
MCP toolsets survive a hermes tools save.
Fixes#1247
- add stt.enabled to the default user config
- make transcription_tools respect the disabled flag globally
- surface disabled state cleanly in voice mode diagnostics
- add regression coverage for disabled STT provider selection
- mark private-channel scopes/events as optional
- note reinstall requirement after scope/event changes
- correct Slack allowlist messaging to match gateway behavior
- Add background thread mechanism (prefetch_update_check/get_update_result)
so git fetch runs in parallel with skill sync and agent init
- Fix repo path fallback in check_for_updates() for dev installs
- Remove duplicate build_welcome_banner (~180 lines) and
_format_context_length from cli.py — the banner.py version is
now the single source of truth
- Port skin banner_hero/banner_logo support and terminal width check
from cli.py's version into banner.py
- Add update status output to hermes version command
- Add unit tests for update check, prefetch, and version string
Add base_url/api_key overrides for auxiliary tasks and delegation so users can
route those flows straight to a custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint without
having to rely on provider=main or named custom providers.
Also clear gateway session env vars in test isolation so the full suite stays
deterministic when run from a messaging-backed agent session.
Moonshot (legacy key) users were shown kimi-for-coding and
kimi-k2-thinking-turbo which only work on the Coding Plan endpoint
(api.kimi.com/coding/v1). Add a separate "moonshot" model list that
excludes plan-specific models.
`hermes update` crashed with CalledProcessError when run on a local-only
branch (e.g. fix/stoicneko) because `git rev-list HEAD..origin/{branch}`
fails when origin/{branch} doesn't exist. Now verifies the remote branch
exists first and falls back to origin/main.
