element descriptions, responsive width behavior, and color-coded
context threshold table
- Update /usage description in slash-commands reference to mention
cost breakdown and session duration

- Fix config path (checkpoints.enabled, not agent.checkpoints_enabled)
- Consolidate features/checkpoints.md to brief summary with link
- Update messaging guide to use 'hermes gateway' CLI commands instead
of raw systemctl (auto-resolves the correct service name)
- Add info callout explaining multi-install service name scoping
- Update HERMES_HOME env var docs to mention PID + service name scoping
Salvaged from PR #1470 by adavyas.
Core fix: Honcho tool calls in a multi-session gateway could route to
the wrong session because honcho_tools.py relied on process-global
state. Now threads session context through the call chain:
AIAgent._invoke_tool() → handle_function_call() → registry.dispatch()
→ handler **kw → _resolve_session_context()
Changes:
- Add _resolve_session_context() to prefer per-call context over globals
- Plumb honcho_manager + honcho_session_key through handle_function_call
- Add sync_honcho=False to run_conversation() for synthetic flush turns
- Pass honcho_session_key through gateway memory flush lifecycle
- Harden gateway PID detection when /proc cmdline is unreadable
- Make interrupt test scripts import-safe for pytest-xdist
- Wrap BibTeX examples in Jekyll raw blocks for docs build
- Fix thread-order-dependent assertion in client lifecycle test
- Expand Honcho docs: session isolation, lifecycle, routing internals
Dropped from original PR:
- Indentation change in _create_request_openai_client that would move
client creation inside the lock (causes unnecessary contention)

default group and channel sessions to per-user isolation, allow opting back into shared room sessions via config.yaml, and document Discord gateway routing and session behavior.
Restore local STT command fallback for voice transcription, detect whisper and ffmpeg in common local install paths, and avoid bogus no-provider messaging when only a backend-specific key is missing.
* docs: comprehensive fallback providers documentation
- New dedicated page: user-guide/features/fallback-providers.md covering
both primary model fallback and auxiliary task fallback systems
- Updated configuration.md with fallback_model config section
- Updated environment-variables.md noting fallback is config-only
- Fleshed out developer-guide/provider-runtime.md fallback section with
internal architecture details (trigger points, activation flow, config flow)
- Added cross-reference from provider-routing.md distinguishing OpenRouter
sub-provider routing from Hermes-level model fallback
- Added new page to sidebar under Integrations
* docs: comprehensive /background command documentation
- Added Background Sessions section to cli.md covering how it works
(daemon threads, isolated sessions, config inheritance, Rich panel
output, bell notification, concurrent tasks)
- Added Background Sessions section to messaging/index.md covering
messaging-specific behavior (async execution, result delivery back
to same chat, fire-and-forget pattern)
- Documented background_process_notifications config
(all/result/error/off) in messaging docs and configuration.md
- Added HERMES_BACKGROUND_NOTIFICATIONS env var to reference page
- Fixed inconsistency in slash-commands.md: /background was listed as
messaging-only but works in both CLI and messaging. Moved it to the
'both surfaces' note.
- Expanded one-liner table descriptions with detail and cross-references
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.
Allow cron runs to keep using send_message for additional destinations, but
skip same-target sends when the scheduler will already auto-deliver the final
response there. Add prompt/tool guidance, docs, and regression coverage for
origin/home-channel resolution and thread-aware comparisons.
Add a hands-on guide for using voice mode with Hermes, fix and expand the main voice-mode docs, surface /voice in messaging docs, and improve discoverability from the homepage and learning path.
Document the expanded skills hub functionality, including:
- skills.sh source usage
- well-known endpoint discovery
- check/update commands
- real install/inspect examples
- accurate --force semantics and trust policy behavior
Also verified the docs site with a successful Docusaurus production build.
Document the new global-only SOUL behavior, add a dedicated use guide, update personality/context/config docs, and fix docs language that still described cwd-local SOUL loading.
Expand the MCP feature docs with filtering and capability-aware registration details, add a practical 'Use MCP with Hermes' tutorial, add a config reference page, and wire the new docs into the sidebar and landing page.
Remove web UI gateway (web.py, tests, docs, toolset, env vars, Platform.WEB
enum) per maintainer request — Nous is building their own official chat UI.
Fix 1: Replace sd.wait() with polling pattern in play_audio_file() to prevent
indefinite hang when audio device stalls (consistent with play_beep()).
Fix 2: Use importlib.util.find_spec() for faster_whisper/openai availability
checks instead of module-level imports that trigger heavy native library
loading (CUDA/cuDNN) at import time.
Fix 3: Remove inspect.signature() hack in _send_voice_reply() — add **kwargs
to Telegram send_voice() so all adapters accept metadata uniformly.
Fix 4: Make session loading resilient to removed platform enum values — skip
entries with unknown platforms instead of crashing the entire gateway.
Merge main's faster-whisper (local, free) with our Groq support into a
unified three-provider STT pipeline: local > groq > openai.
Provider priority ensures free options are tried first. Each provider
has its own transcriber function with model auto-correction, env-
overridable endpoints, and proper error handling.
74 tests cover the full provider matrix, fallback chains, model
correction, config loading, validation edge cases, and dispatch.
- Use hmac.compare_digest for timing-safe token comparison (3 endpoints)
- Default bind to 127.0.0.1 instead of 0.0.0.0
- Sanitize upload filenames with Path.name to prevent path traversal
- Add DOMPurify to sanitize marked.parse() output against XSS
- Replace add_static with authenticated media handler
- Hide token in group chats for /remote-control command
- Use ctypes.util.find_library for Opus instead of hardcoded paths
- Add force=True to 5 interrupt _vprint calls for visibility
- Log Opus decode errors and voice restart failures instead of swallowing
