load_cli_config() only merged keys present in its hardcoded defaults
dict, silently dropping user-added keys like platform_toolsets (saved
by 'hermes tools'), provider_routing, memory, honcho, etc.
Added a second pass to carry over all file_config keys that aren't in
defaults, so 'hermes tools' changes actually take effect in CLI mode.
The gateway was unaffected (reads YAML directly via yaml.safe_load).
Introduced a new `provider_routing` section in the CLI configuration to control how requests are routed across providers when using OpenRouter. This includes options for sorting providers by throughput, latency, or price, as well as allowing or ignoring specific providers, setting the order of provider attempts, and managing data collection policies. Updated relevant classes and documentation to support these features, enhancing flexibility in provider selection.
Updated the CLI header formatting for tool and configuration displays to center titles within their respective widths. Enhanced the display of command descriptions to include an ellipsis for longer texts, ensuring better readability. This refactor improves the overall user interface of the CLI.
Introduced a new command "/usage" in the CLI to show cumulative token usage for the current session. This includes details on prompt tokens, completion tokens, total tokens, API calls, and context state. Updated command documentation to reflect this addition. Enhanced the AIAgent class to track token usage throughout the session.
Introduced a new command "/compress" to the CLI, allowing users to manually trigger context compression on the current conversation. The method checks for sufficient conversation history and active agent status before performing compression, providing feedback on the number of messages and tokens before and after the operation. Updated command documentation accordingly.
- Enhanced Codex model discovery by fetching available models from the API, with fallback to local cache and defaults.
- Updated the context compressor's summary target tokens to 2500 for improved performance.
- Added external credential detection for Codex CLI to streamline authentication.
- Refactored various components to ensure consistent handling of authentication and model selection across the application.
Closes#77. Users can now type /verbose in the CLI to toggle verbose
mode on or off without restarting. When enabled, full tool call
parameters, results, and debug logs are shown. The agent's
verbose_logging and quiet_mode flags are updated live, and Python
logging levels are reconfigured accordingly.

Opt-in persistent cross-session user modeling via Honcho. Reads
~/.honcho/config.json as single source of truth (shared with
Claude Code, Cursor, and other Honcho-enabled tools). Zero impact
when disabled or unconfigured.
- honcho_integration/ package (client, session manager, peer resolution)
- Host-based config resolution matching claude-honcho/cursor-honcho pattern
- Prefetch user context into system prompt per conversation turn
- Sync user/assistant messages to Honcho after each exchange
- query_user_context tool for mid-conversation dialectic reasoning
- Gated activation: requires ~/.honcho/config.json with enabled=true
show_config() always checked cli-config.yaml in the project directory,
but load_cli_config() first looks at ~/.hermes/config.yaml. When the
user config existed, /config would display "cli-config.yaml (not found)"
even though configuration was loaded successfully from ~/.hermes/.
Use the same lookup order as load_cli_config and display the actual
resolved path.
max_turns used 60 as both the default and the sentinel to detect
whether the user passed the flag. This meant `--max-turns 60` was
indistinguishable from "not passed", so the env var
HERMES_MAX_ITERATIONS would silently override the explicit CLI value.
Change the default to None so any user-supplied value takes priority.
The _on_text_changed handler collapsed buffer contents into a file
reference whenever the buffer had 5+ newlines, regardless of how
those lines were entered. This meant manually typing with Alt+Enter
would trigger the paste heuristic and silently replace the user's
carefully typed input.
Track the previous buffer length and only treat a change as a paste
when more than one character is added at once (real pastes insert many
characters in a single event, while typing adds one at a time).
load_cli_config() supports both string and dict formats for the model
key (e.g. `model: "anthropic/claude-opus-4"`), but save_config_value()
assumed all intermediate keys are dicts. When the config file used the
string format, running `/model <name>` would crash with TypeError:
'str' object does not support item assignment.
Add an isinstance check so non-dict values are replaced with a fresh
dict before descending.
- Updated the description extraction logic to split on ". " (period+space) to avoid breaking on abbreviations like "e.g." or version numbers.
- Changed the method to prioritize the first line of the description, ensuring more relevant information is captured for display.
Load ~/.hermes/.env first with project root as dev fallback, and remove
redundant second load_dotenv call inside load_cli_config(). Also sets
MSWEA_GLOBAL_CONFIG_DIR so mini-swe-agent shares the same config.
