`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.
Fixes#1005
Without linger, user-level systemd services stop when the SSH session
ends — even though systemctl --user status shows active (running).
Changes to systemd_install():
- Try loginctl enable-linger automatically (succeeds when the process
has the required privileges)
- If loginctl fails (no privileges), print a clear, copy-pasteable
warning with the exact command the user must run
New helper: _ensure_linger_enabled()
- Fast path: checks /var/lib/systemd/linger/<user> (no subprocess)
- Auto-enable: loginctl enable-linger <user>
- Fallback: actionable warning with sudo command + restart instructions
Tests: 4 new tests in TestEnsureLingerEnabled, 205 passed total
Keep the argparse CLI aligned with the slash command so --yes and -y
behave the same as --force for hermes skills install.
Add a parser-level regression test.
Salvaged from PR #1007 by stablegenius49.
- let INSTALL_POLICY decide dangerous verdict handling for builtin skills
- allow --force to override blocked dangerous decisions for trusted and community sources
- accept --yes / -y as aliases for --force in /skills install
- update regression tests to match the intended policy precedence
Follow up on salvaged PR #1012.
Prevents raw custom-provider names from intercepting built-in provider ids,
and keeps the regression coverage focused on current-main behavior.
Add regression coverage for the new provider-aware vision setup flow and make the default OpenAI choice write AUXILIARY_VISION_MODEL so auxiliary vision requests don't fall back to the main model slug.
The old flow blindly asked for an OpenRouter API key after ANY non-OR
provider selection, even for Nous Portal and Codex which already
support vision natively. This was confusing and annoying.
New behavior:
- OpenRouter: skip — vision uses Gemini via their OR key
- Nous Portal OAuth: skip — vision uses Gemini via Nous
- OpenAI Codex: skip — gpt-5.3-codex supports vision
- Custom endpoint (api.openai.com): show OpenAI vision model picker
(gpt-4o, gpt-4o-mini, gpt-4.1, etc.), saves AUXILIARY_VISION_MODEL
- Custom (other) / z.ai / kimi / minimax / nous-api:
- First checks if existing OR/Nous creds already cover vision
- If not, offers friendly choice: OpenRouter / OpenAI / Skip
- No more 'enter OpenRouter key' thrown in your face
Also fixes the setup summary to check actual vision availability
across all providers instead of hardcoding 'requires OPENROUTER_API_KEY'.
MoA still correctly requires OpenRouter (calls multiple frontier models).
Update the unknown-subcommand config help output to use placeholder syntax too,
and extend the placeholder regression tests to cover show_config() and that
fallback help path.
Round out the skills hub integration with:
- richer skills.sh metadata and security surfacing during inspect/install
- generic check/update flows for hub-installed skills
- support for well-known Agent Skills endpoints via /.well-known/skills/index.json
Also persist upstream bundle metadata in the lock file and add
regression coverage plus live-compatible path handling for both
skills.sh aliases and well-known endpoints.
Seed ~/.hermes/SOUL.md when missing, load SOUL only from HERMES_HOME, and inject raw SOUL content without wrapper text. If the file exists but is empty, nothing is added to the system prompt.
- store gateway PID metadata and validate the live process before trusting gateway.pid
- auto-refresh outdated systemd user units before start/restart so installs pick up --replace fixes
- sweep stray manual gateway processes after service stops
- add regression tests for PID validation and service drift recovery
Harden the skills.sh hub adapter by parsing skill detail pages when
search slugs do not map cleanly onto GitHub skill folder names.
This adds detail-page resolution for alias-style skills, improves
inspect metadata from the page itself, and covers the behavior with
regression tests plus live smoke validation for json-render-react.
Add a skills.sh-backed source adapter for the Hermes Skills Hub.
The new adapter uses skills.sh search results for discovery, falls back to
featured homepage links for browse-style queries, and resolves installs /
inspects through the underlying GitHub repo using common Agent Skills
layout conventions. Also expose skills-sh in CLI source filters and add
regression coverage for search, alias resolution, and source routing.
* fix(gateway): surface missing linger in status and doctor
Warn when a systemd user gateway service has linger disabled so users can
spot the common 'gateway sleeps after logout' deployment issue from both
hermes doctor and hermes gateway status.
* fix(gateway): check linger status after install
After installing the systemd user service, report whether linger is
already enabled instead of always printing the generic hint. This makes
post-install guidance match the user's actual deployment state.
Add a restore prompt for interactive updates, keep the stash when the user declines, and print a post-restore warning that local changes were reapplied on top of updated code.
- Add multi-provider STT support (OpenAI > Groq fallback) in transcription_tools
- Auto-correct model selection when provider doesn't support the configured model
- Change voice record key from Ctrl+Space to Ctrl+R (macOS compatibility)
- Fix duplicate transcript echo in voice pipeline
- Add GROQ_API_KEY to .env.example
Salvaged from PR #932 by Wayne onto current main.
Apply skin-aware prompt symbols and live prompt_toolkit color refresh,
replace lingering hardcoded accent output with active-skin colors, keep
ANSI-safe response rendering, preserve secret-capture and approval-prompt
state handling, and add integration coverage for prompt state and style
refresh behavior.
hermes setup hung indefinitely on headless SSH sessions, Docker
containers, and CI/CD environments because the interactive provider
selection menu could not receive input.
Two-layer fix:
1. sys.stdin.isatty() check — auto-detects non-interactive environments
2. --non-interactive flag support — already in CLI parser, now honored
In both cases the wizard exits immediately with helpful guidance
pointing users to 'hermes config set' commands.
Closes#905
Integrate tirith as a pre-execution security scanner that detects
homograph URLs, pipe-to-interpreter patterns, terminal injection,
zero-width Unicode, and environment variable manipulation — threats
the existing 50-pattern dangerous command detector doesn't cover.
Architecture: gather-then-decide — both tirith and the dangerous
command detector run before any approval prompt, preventing gateway
force=True replay from bypassing one check when only the other was
shown to the user.
New files:
- tools/tirith_security.py: subprocess wrapper with auto-installer,
mandatory cosign provenance verification, non-blocking background
download, disk-persistent failure markers with retryable-cause
tracking (cosign_missing auto-clears when cosign appears on PATH)
- tests/tools/test_tirith_security.py: 62 tests covering exit code
mapping, fail_open, cosign verification, background install,
HERMES_HOME isolation, and failure recovery
- tests/tools/test_command_guards.py: 21 integration tests for the
combined guard orchestration
Modified files:
- tools/approval.py: add check_all_command_guards() orchestrator,
add allow_permanent parameter to prompt_dangerous_approval()
- tools/terminal_tool.py: replace _check_dangerous_command with
consolidated check_all_command_guards
- cli.py: update _approval_callback for allow_permanent kwarg,
call ensure_installed() at startup
- gateway/run.py: iterate pattern_keys list on replay approval,
call ensure_installed() at startup
- hermes_cli/config.py: add security config defaults, split
commented sections for independent fallback
- cli-config.yaml.example: document tirith security config
Restore the ACP editor-integration implementation that was present on the
original PR branch but did not actually land in main.
Includes:
- acp_adapter/ server, session manager, event bridge, auth, permissions,
and tool helpers
- hermes acp subcommand and hermes-acp entry point
- hermes-acp curated toolset
- ACP registry manifest, setup guide, and ACP test suite
- jupyter-live-kernel data science skill from the original branch
Also updates the revived ACP code for current main by:
- resolving runtime providers through the modern shared provider router
- binding ACP sessions to per-session cwd task overrides
- tracking duplicate same-name tool calls with FIFO IDs
- restoring terminal approval callbacks after prompts
- normalizing supporting docs/skill metadata
Validated with tests/acp and the full pytest suite (-n0).
- Introduced _approval_lock to ensure that approval prompts are handled sequentially, preventing state clobbering from parallel delegation subtasks.
- Updated approval_callback and HermesCLI methods to utilize the lock for managing approval state and deadlines.
- Added tests for the config bridging logic to ensure correct environment variable mapping from config.yaml.
Create a new session DB row when starting fresh from the CLI, reset the
agent DB flush cursor and todo state, and update session timing/session ID
bookkeeping so follow-up logging stays correct.
Also update slash-command descriptions and add regression tests for /new,
/reset, and /clear.
Supersedes PR #899.
Closes#641.
