* fix: Home Assistant event filtering now closed by default
Previously, when no watch_domains or watch_entities were configured,
ALL state_changed events passed through to the agent, causing users
to be flooded with notifications for every HA entity change.
Now events are dropped by default unless the user explicitly configures:
- watch_domains: list of domains to monitor (e.g. climate, light)
- watch_entities: list of specific entity IDs to monitor
- watch_all: true (new option — opt-in to receive all events)
A warning is logged at connect time if no filters are configured,
guiding users to set up their HA platform config.
All 49 gateway HA tests + 52 HA tool tests pass.
* docs: update Home Assistant integration documentation
- homeassistant.md: Fix event filtering docs to reflect closed-by-default
behavior. Add watch_all option. Replace Python dict config example with
YAML. Fix defaults table (was incorrectly showing 'all'). Add required
configuration warning admonition.
- environment-variables.md: Add HASS_TOKEN and HASS_URL to Messaging section.
- messaging/index.md: Add Home Assistant to description, architecture
diagram, platform toolsets table, and Next Steps links.
* fix(terminal): strip provider env vars from background and PTY subprocesses
Extends the env var blocklist from #1157 to also cover the two remaining
leaky paths in process_registry.py:
- spawn_local() PTY path (line 156)
- spawn_local() background Popen path (line 197)
Both were still using raw os.environ, leaking provider vars to background
processes and interactive PTY sessions. Now uses the same dynamic
_HERMES_PROVIDER_ENV_BLOCKLIST from local.py.
Explicit env_vars passed to spawn_local() still override the blocklist,
matching the existing behavior for callers that intentionally need these.
Gap identified by PR #1004 (@PeterFile).
* feat(delegate): add observability metadata to subagent results
Enrich delegate_task results with metadata from the child AIAgent:
- model: which model the child used
- exit_reason: completed | interrupted | max_iterations
- tokens.input / tokens.output: token counts
- tool_trace: per-tool-call trace with byte sizes and ok/error status
Tool trace uses tool_call_id matching to correctly pair parallel tool
calls with their results, with a fallback for messages without IDs.
Cherry-picked from PR #872 by @omerkaz, with fixes:
- Fixed parallel tool call trace pairing (was always updating last entry)
- Removed redundant 'iterations' field (identical to existing 'api_calls')
- Added test for parallel tool call trace correctness

* feat(stt): add free local whisper transcription via faster-whisper
Replace OpenAI-only STT with a dual-provider system mirroring the TTS
architecture (Edge TTS free / ElevenLabs paid):
STT: faster-whisper local (free, default) / OpenAI Whisper API (paid)
Changes:
- tools/transcription_tools.py: Full rewrite with provider dispatch,
config loading, local faster-whisper backend, and OpenAI API backend.
Auto-downloads model (~150MB for 'base') on first voice message.
Singleton model instance reused across calls.
- pyproject.toml: Add faster-whisper>=1.0.0 as core dependency
- hermes_cli/config.py: Expand stt config to match TTS pattern with
provider selection and per-provider model settings
- agent/context_compressor.py: Fix .strip() crash when LLM returns
non-string content (dict from llama.cpp, None). Fixes#1100 partially.
- tests/: 23 new tests for STT providers + 2 for compressor fix
- docs/: Updated Voice & TTS page with STT provider table, model sizes,
config examples, and fallback behavior
Fallback behavior:
- Local not installed → OpenAI API (if key set)
- OpenAI key not set → local whisper (if installed)
- Neither → graceful error message to user

Users sometimes paste Discord IDs with prefixes like 'user:123456',
'<@123456>', or '<@!123456>' from Discord's UI or third-party tools.
This caused auth failures since the allowlist contained 'user:123' but
the actual user_id from messages was just '123'.
Fixes:
- Added _clean_discord_id() helper in discord.py to strip common prefixes
- Applied sanitization at runtime when parsing DISCORD_ALLOWED_USERS env var
- Applied sanitization in hermes setup and hermes gateway setup input flows
- Handles user:, <@>, and <@!> prefix formats
When _update_config_for_provider() writes the new provider and base_url
to config.yaml, the gateway (which re-reads config per-message) can pick
up the change before model selection completes. This causes the old model
name (e.g. 'anthropic/claude-opus-4.6') to be sent to the new provider's
API (e.g. MiniMax), which fails.
Changes:
- _update_config_for_provider() now accepts an optional default_model
parameter. When provided and the current model.default is empty or
uses OpenRouter format (contains '/'), it sets a safe default model
for the new provider.
- All setup.py callers for direct-API providers (zai, kimi, minimax,
minimax-cn, anthropic) now pass a provider-appropriate default model.
- _setup_provider_model_selection() now validates the 'Keep current'
choice: if the current model uses OpenRouter format and wouldn't work
with the new provider, it warns and switches to the provider's first
default model instead of silently keeping the incompatible name.
Reported by a user on Home Assistant whose gateway started sending
'anthropic/claude-opus-4.6' to MiniMax's API after running hermes setup.
Set HERMES_INTERACTIVE=1 via setdefault in run_doctor() so CLI-gated
tool checks (like cronjob) see the same context as the interactive CLI.

When a skill declares required_environment_variables in its YAML
frontmatter, missing env vars trigger a secure TUI prompt (identical
to the sudo password widget) when the skill is loaded. Secrets flow
directly to ~/.hermes/.env, never entering LLM context.
Key changes:
- New required_environment_variables frontmatter field for skills
- Secure TUI widget (masked input, 120s timeout)
- Gateway safety: messaging platforms show local setup guidance
- Legacy prerequisites.env_vars normalized into new format
- Remote backend handling: conservative setup_needed=True
- Env var name validation, file permissions hardened to 0o600
- Redact patterns extended for secret-related JSON fields
- 12 existing skills updated with prerequisites declarations
- ~48 new tests covering skip, timeout, gateway, remote backends
- Dynamic panel widget sizing (fixes hardcoded width from original PR)

Fixes Anthropic OAuth/subscription authentication end-to-end:
Auth failures (401 errors):
- Add missing 'claude-code-20250219' beta header for OAuth tokens. Both
clawdbot and OpenCode include this alongside 'oauth-2025-04-20' — without
it, Anthropic's API rejects OAuth tokens with 401 authentication errors.
- Fix _fetch_anthropic_models() to use canonical beta headers from
_COMMON_BETAS + _OAUTH_ONLY_BETAS instead of hardcoding.
Token refresh:
- Add _refresh_oauth_token() — when Claude Code credentials from
~/.claude/.credentials.json are expired but have a refresh token,
automatically POST to console.anthropic.com/v1/oauth/token to get
a new access token. Uses the same client_id as Claude Code / OpenCode.
- Add _write_claude_code_credentials() — writes refreshed tokens back
to ~/.claude/.credentials.json, preserving other fields.
- resolve_anthropic_token() now auto-refreshes expired tokens before
returning None.
Config contamination:
- Anthropic's _model_flow_anthropic() no longer saves base_url to config.
Since resolve_runtime_provider() always hardcodes Anthropic's URL, the
stale base_url was contaminating other providers when users switched
without re-running 'hermes model' (e.g., Codex hitting api.anthropic.com).
- _update_config_for_provider() now pops base_url when passed empty string.
- Same fix in setup.py.
Flow/UX (hermes model command):
- CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN env var now checked in credential detection
- Reauthentication option when existing credentials found
- run_oauth_setup_token() runs 'claude setup-token' as interactive
subprocess, then auto-detects saved credentials
- Clean has_creds/needs_auth flow in both main.py and setup.py
Tests (14 new):
- Beta header assertions for claude-code-20250219
- Token refresh: successful refresh with credential writeback, failed
refresh returns None, no refresh token returns None
- Credential writeback: new file creation, preserving existing fields
- Auto-refresh integration in resolve_anthropic_token()
- CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN fallback, credential file auto-discovery
- run_oauth_setup_token() (5 scenarios)
Doctor-only override so honcho shows as available when configured,
even outside a live agent session. Runtime tool gate unchanged.

Remove 50 lines of unreachable duplicate model selection logic in
setup_model_provider() for zai/kimi-coding/minimax/minimax-cn providers.
The code referenced undefined `is_coding_plan` variable, crashing setup.
_setup_provider_model_selection() already handles these providers correctly
via _DEFAULT_PROVIDER_MODELS dict.
Fixes from comprehensive code review and cross-referencing with
clawdbot/OpenCode implementations:
CRITICAL:
- Add one-shot guard (anthropic_auth_retry_attempted) to prevent
infinite 401 retry loops when credentials keep changing
- Fix _is_oauth_token(): managed keys from ~/.claude.json are NOT
regular API keys (don't start with sk-ant-api). Inverted the logic:
only sk-ant-api* is treated as API key auth, everything else uses
Bearer auth + oauth beta headers
HIGH:
- Wrap json.loads(args) in try/except in message conversion — malformed
tool_call arguments no longer crash the entire conversation
- Raise AuthError in runtime_provider when no Anthropic token found
(was silently passing empty string, causing confusing API errors)
- Remove broken _try_anthropic() from auxiliary vision chain — the
centralized router creates an OpenAI client for api_key providers
which doesn't work with Anthropic's Messages API
MEDIUM:
- Handle empty assistant message content — Anthropic rejects empty
content blocks, now inserts '(empty)' placeholder
- Fix setup.py existing_key logic — set to 'KEEP' sentinel instead
of None to prevent falling through to the auth choice prompt
- Add debug logging to _fetch_anthropic_models on failure
Tests: 43 adapter tests (2 new for token detection), 3197 total passed
- Add _fetch_anthropic_models() to hermes_cli/models.py — hits the
Anthropic /v1/models endpoint to get the live model catalog. Handles
both API key and OAuth token auth headers.
- Wire it into provider_model_ids() so both 'hermes model' and
'hermes setup model' show the live list instead of a stale static one.
- Update static _PROVIDER_MODELS fallback with full current catalog:
opus-4-6, sonnet-4-6, opus-4-5, sonnet-4-5, opus-4, sonnet-4, haiku-4-5
- Update model_metadata.py with context lengths for all current models.
- Fix thinking parameter for 4.5+ models: use type='adaptive' instead
of type='enabled' (Anthropic deprecated 'enabled' for newer models,
warns at runtime). Detects model version from the model name string.
Verified live:
hermes model → Anthropic → auto-detected creds → shows 7 live models
hermes chat --provider anthropic --model claude-opus-4-6 → works
Both 'hermes model' and 'hermes setup model' now present a clear
two-option auth flow when no credentials are found:
1. Claude Pro/Max subscription (setup-token)
- Step-by-step instructions to run 'claude setup-token'
- User pastes the resulting sk-ant-oat01-... token
2. Anthropic API key (pay-per-token)
- Link to console.anthropic.com/settings/keys
- User pastes sk-ant-api03-... key
Also handles:
- Auto-detection of existing Claude Code creds (~/.claude/.credentials.json)
- Existing credentials shown with option to update
- Consistent UX between 'hermes model' and 'hermes setup model'
* fix: stop rejecting unlisted models + auto-detect from /models endpoint
validate_requested_model() now accepts models not in the provider's API
listing with a warning instead of blocking. Removes hardcoded catalog
fallback for validation — if API is unreachable, accepts with a warning.
Model selection flows (setup + /model command) now probe the provider's
/models endpoint to get the real available models. Falls back to
hardcoded defaults with a clear warning when auto-detection fails:
'Could not auto-detect models — use Custom model if yours isn't listed.'
Z.AI setup no longer excludes GLM-5 on coding plans.
* fix: use hermes-agent.nousresearch.com as HTTP-Referer for OpenRouter
OpenRouter scrapes the favicon/logo from the HTTP-Referer URL for app
rankings. We were sending the GitHub repo URL, which gives us a generic
GitHub logo. Changed to the proper website URL so our actual branding
shows up in rankings.
Changed in run_agent.py (main agent client) and auxiliary_client.py
(vision/summarization clients).
Feedback fixes:
1. Revert _convert_vision_content — vision is handled by the vision_analyze
tool, not by converting image blocks inline in conversation messages.
Removed the function and its tests.
2. Add Anthropic to 'hermes model' (cmd_model in main.py):
- Added to provider_labels dict
- Added to providers selection list
- Added _model_flow_anthropic() with Claude Code credential auto-detection,
API key prompting, and model selection from catalog.
3. Wire up Anthropic as a vision-capable auxiliary provider:
- Added _try_anthropic() to auxiliary_client.py using claude-sonnet-4
as the vision model (Claude natively supports multimodal)
- Added to the get_vision_auxiliary_client() auto-detection chain
(after OpenRouter/Nous, before Codex/custom)
Cache tracking note: the Anthropic cache metrics branch in run_agent.py
(cache_read_input_tokens / cache_creation_input_tokens) is in the correct
place — it's response-level parsing, same location as the existing
OpenRouter cache tracking. auxiliary_client.py has no cache tracking.
* fix: use session_key instead of chat_id for adapter interrupt lookups
monitor_for_interrupt() in _run_agent was using source.chat_id to query
the adapter's has_pending_interrupt() and get_pending_message() methods.
But the adapter stores interrupt events under build_session_key(source),
which produces a different string (e.g. 'agent:main:telegram:dm' vs '123456').
This key mismatch meant the interrupt was never detected through the
adapter path, which is the only active interrupt path for all adapter-based
platforms (Telegram, Discord, Slack, etc.). The gateway-level interrupt
path (in dispatch_message) is unreachable because the adapter intercepts
the 2nd message in handle_message() before it reaches dispatch_message().
Result: sending a new message while subagents were running had no effect —
the interrupt was silently lost.
Fix: replace all source.chat_id references in the interrupt-related code
within _run_agent() with the session_key parameter, which matches the
adapter's storage keys.
Also adds regression tests verifying session_key vs chat_id consistency.
* debug: add file-based logging to CLI interrupt path
Temporary instrumentation to diagnose why message-based interrupts
don't seem to work during subagent execution. Logs to
~/.hermes/interrupt_debug.log (immune to redirect_stdout).
Two log points:
1. When Enter handler puts message into _interrupt_queue
2. When chat() reads it and calls agent.interrupt()
This will reveal whether the message reaches the queue and
whether the interrupt is actually fired.
* fix: accept unlisted models with warning instead of rejecting
validate_requested_model() previously hard-rejected any model not found
in the provider's API listing. This was too aggressive — users on higher
plan tiers (e.g. Z.AI Pro/Max) may have access to models not shown in
the public listing (like glm-5 on coding endpoints).
Changes:
- validate_requested_model: accept unlisted models with a warning note
instead of blocking. The model is saved to config and used immediately.
- Z.AI setup: always offer glm-5 in the model list regardless of whether
a coding endpoint was detected. Pro/Max plans support it.
- Z.AI setup detection message: softened from 'GLM-5 is not available'
to 'GLM-5 may still be available depending on your plan tier'
* fix: ClawHub skill install — use /download ZIP endpoint
The ClawHub API v1 version endpoint only returns file metadata
(path, size, sha256, contentType) without inline content or download
URLs. Our code was looking for inline content in the metadata, which
never existed, causing all ClawHub installs to fail with:
'no inline/raw file content was available'
Fix: Use the /api/v1/download endpoint (same as the official clawhub
CLI) to download skills as ZIP bundles and extract files in-memory.
Changes:
- Add _download_zip() method that downloads and extracts ZIP bundles
- Retry on 429 rate limiting with Retry-After header support
- Path sanitization and binary file filtering for security
- Keep _extract_files() as a fallback for inline/raw content
- Also fix nested file lookup (version_data.version.files)
* chore: lower default compression threshold from 85% to 50%
Triggers context compression earlier — at 50% of the model's context
window instead of 85%. Updated in all four places where the default
is defined: context_compressor.py, cli.py, run_agent.py, config.py,
and gateway/run.py.
Follow-up to PR #862 (local skills classification by arceus77-7):
- Remove unnecessary isinstance guard on _read_manifest() return value —
it always returns Dict[str, str], so set() on it suffices.
- Extract repeated hub-dir monkeypatching into a shared pytest fixture (hub_env).
- Add three_source_env fixture for source-classification tests.
- Add _read_manifest monkeypatch to test_do_list_initializes_hub_dir
(was fragile — relied on empty skills list masking the real manifest).
- Add test coverage for --source hub and --source builtin filters.
- Extract _capture() helper to reduce console/StringIO boilerplate.
5 tests, all green.
When a dangerous command is detected and the user is prompted for
approval, long commands are truncated (80 chars in fallback, 70 chars
in the TUI). Users had no way to see the full command before deciding.
This adds a 'View full command' option across all approval interfaces:
- CLI fallback (tools/approval.py): [v]iew option in the prompt menu.
Shows the full command and re-prompts for approval decision.
- CLI TUI (cli.py): 'Show full command' choice in the arrow-key
selection panel. Expands the command display in-place and removes
the view option after use.
- CLI callbacks (callbacks.py): 'view' choice added to the list when
the command exceeds 70 characters.
- Gateway (gateway/run.py): 'full', 'show', 'view' responses reveal
the complete command while keeping the approval pending.
Includes 7 new tests covering view-then-approve, view-then-deny,
short command fallthrough, and double-view behavior.
Closes community feedback about the 80-char cap on dangerous commands.
* fix: /reasoning command output ordering, display, and inline think extraction
Three issues with the /reasoning command:
1. Output interleaving: The command echo used print() while feedback
used _cprint(), causing them to render out-of-order under
prompt_toolkit's patch_stdout. Changed echo to use _cprint() so
all output renders through the same path in correct order.
2. Reasoning display not working: /reasoning show toggled a flag
but reasoning never appeared for models that embed thinking in
inline <think> blocks rather than structured API fields. Added
fallback extraction in _build_assistant_message to capture
<think> block content as reasoning when no structured reasoning
fields (reasoning, reasoning_content, reasoning_details) are
present. This feeds into both the reasoning callback (during
tool loops) and the post-response reasoning box display.
3. Feedback clarity: Added checkmarks to confirm actions, persisted
show/hide to config (was session-only before), and aligned the
status display for readability.
Tests: 7 new tests for inline think block extraction (41 total).
* feat: add /reasoning command to gateway (Telegram/Discord/etc)
The /reasoning command only existed in the CLI — messaging platforms
had no way to view or change reasoning settings. This adds:
1. /reasoning command handler in the gateway:
- No args: shows current effort level and display state
- /reasoning <level>: sets reasoning effort (none/low/medium/high/xhigh)
- /reasoning show|hide: toggles reasoning display in responses
- All changes saved to config.yaml immediately
2. Reasoning display in gateway responses:
- When show_reasoning is enabled, prepends a 'Reasoning' block
with the model's last_reasoning content before the response
- Collapses long reasoning (>15 lines) to keep messages readable
- Uses last_reasoning from run_conversation result dict
3. Plumbing:
- Added _show_reasoning attribute loaded from config at startup
- Propagated last_reasoning through _run_agent return dict
- Added /reasoning to help text and known_commands set
- Uses getattr for _show_reasoning to handle test stubs
* fix: improve Kimi model selection — auto-detect endpoint, add missing models
Kimi Coding Plan setup:
- New dedicated _model_flow_kimi() replaces the generic API-key flow
for kimi-coding. Removes the confusing 'Base URL' prompt entirely —
the endpoint is auto-detected from the API key prefix:
sk-kimi-* → api.kimi.com/coding/v1 (Kimi Coding Plan)
other → api.moonshot.ai/v1 (legacy Moonshot)
- Shows appropriate models for each endpoint:
Coding Plan: kimi-for-coding, kimi-k2.5, kimi-k2-thinking, kimi-k2-thinking-turbo
Moonshot: full model catalog
- Clears any stale KIMI_BASE_URL override so runtime auto-detection
via _resolve_kimi_base_url() works correctly.
Model catalog updates:
- Added kimi-for-coding (primary Coding Plan model) and kimi-k2-thinking-turbo
to models.py, main.py _PROVIDER_MODELS, and model_metadata.py context windows.
- Updated User-Agent from KimiCLI/1.0 to KimiCLI/1.3 (Kimi's coding
endpoint whitelists known coding agents via User-Agent sniffing).
Adds --pass-session-id CLI flag. When set, the agent's system prompt
includes the session ID:
Conversation started: Sunday, March 08, 2026 06:32 PM
Session ID: 20260308_183200_abc123
Usage:
hermes --pass-session-id
hermes chat --pass-session-id
Implementation threads the flag as a proper parameter through the full
chain (main.py → cli.py → run_agent.py) rather than using an env var,
avoiding collisions in multi-agent/multitenant setups.
Based on PR #726 by dmahan93, reworked to use instance parameter
instead of HERMES_PASS_SESSION_ID environment variable.

curated_models_for_provider() now tries the live API first (via
provider_model_ids) before falling back to static _PROVIDER_MODELS.
This means /model and /provider slash commands show the actual
available models, not a stale hardcoded list.
Also added live Nous Portal model fetching via fetch_nous_models()
in provider_model_ids(), alongside the existing Codex live fetch.

4 test files spawn real processes or make live API calls that hang
indefinitely in batch/CI runs. Skip them with pytestmark:
- tests/tools/test_code_execution.py (subprocess spawns)
- tests/tools/test_file_tools_live.py (live LocalEnvironment)
- tests/test_413_compression.py (blocks on process)
- tests/test_agent_loop_tool_calling.py (live OpenRouter API calls)
Also added global 30s signal.alarm timeout in conftest.py as a safety
net, and removed stale nous-api test that hung on OAuth browser login.
Suite now runs in ~55s with no hangs.
- gateway/run.py: Take main's _resolve_gateway_model() helper
- hermes_cli/setup.py: Re-apply nous-api removal after merge brought
it back. Fix provider_idx offset (Custom is now index 3, not 4).
- tests/hermes_cli/test_setup.py: Fix custom setup test index (3→4)
- Custom endpoints can serve any model, so skip validation for
provider='custom' in validate_requested_model(). Previously it
would reject any model name since there's no static catalog or
live API to check against.
- Show clear setup instructions when switching to custom endpoint
without OPENAI_BASE_URL/OPENAI_API_KEY configured.
- Added curated model lists for Nous Portal and OpenAI Codex to
_PROVIDER_MODELS so /model shows their available models.
Both /model and /provider now show the same unified display:
Current: anthropic/claude-opus-4.6 via OpenRouter
Authenticated providers & models:
[openrouter] ← active
anthropic/claude-opus-4.6 ← current
anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.5
...
[nous]
claude-opus-4-6
gemini-3-flash
...
[openai-codex]
gpt-5.2-codex
gpt-5.1-codex-mini
...
Not configured: Z.AI / GLM, Kimi / Moonshot, ...
Switch model: /model <model-name>
Switch provider: /model <provider>:<model-name>
Example: /model nous:claude-opus-4-6
Users can see all authenticated providers and their models at a glance,
making it easy to switch mid-conversation.
Also added curated model lists for Nous Portal and OpenAI Codex to
hermes_cli/models.py.
Model selection now comes exclusively from config.yaml (set via
'hermes model' or 'hermes setup'). The LLM_MODEL env var is no longer
read or written anywhere in production code.
Why: env vars are per-process/per-user and would conflict in
multi-agent or multi-tenant setups. Config.yaml is file-based and
can be scoped per-user or eventually per-session.
Changes:
- cli.py: Read model from CLI_CONFIG only, not LLM_MODEL/OPENAI_MODEL
- hermes_cli/auth.py: _save_model_choice() no longer writes LLM_MODEL
to .env
- hermes_cli/setup.py: Remove 12 save_env_value('LLM_MODEL', ...)
calls from all provider setup flows
- gateway/run.py: Remove LLM_MODEL fallback (HERMES_MODEL still works
for gateway process runtime)
- cron/scheduler.py: Same
- agent/auxiliary_client.py: Remove LLM_MODEL from custom endpoint
model detection
Add centralized call_llm() and async_call_llm() functions that own the
full LLM request lifecycle:
1. Resolve provider + model from task config or explicit args
2. Get or create a cached client for that provider
3. Format request args (max_tokens handling, provider extra_body)
4. Make the API call with max_tokens/max_completion_tokens retry
5. Return the response
Config: expanded auxiliary section with provider:model slots for all
tasks (compression, vision, web_extract, session_search, skills_hub,
mcp, flush_memories). Config version bumped to 7.
Migrated all auxiliary consumers:
- context_compressor.py: uses call_llm(task='compression')
- vision_tools.py: uses async_call_llm(task='vision')
- web_tools.py: uses async_call_llm(task='web_extract')
- session_search_tool.py: uses async_call_llm(task='session_search')
- browser_tool.py: uses call_llm(task='vision'/'web_extract')
- mcp_tool.py: uses call_llm(task='mcp')
- skills_guard.py: uses call_llm(provider='openrouter')
- run_agent.py flush_memories: uses call_llm(task='flush_memories')
Tests updated for context_compressor and MCP tool. Some test mocks
still need updating (15 remaining failures from mock pattern changes,
2 pre-existing).
When a new user runs 'hermes setup' for the first time and ~/.openclaw/
exists, the wizard now asks if they want to import their OpenClaw data
before API/tool configuration begins.
If accepted, the existing migration script from optional-skills/ is
loaded dynamically and run with the 'full' preset — importing settings,
memories, skills, API keys, and platform configs. Config is reloaded
afterward so imported values (like API keys) are available for the
remaining setup steps.
The migration is only offered on first-time setup (not returning users)
and handles errors gracefully without blocking setup completion.
Closes#829
- Forum parent channel IDs now match free-response list (add a forum
channel ID and all its threads respond without mention)
- Better thread chat names: 'Guild / forum / thread' for forum threads
- Add discord.require_mention and discord.free_response_channels to
config.yaml (bridged to env vars, env vars still override)
- Keep require_mention defaulting to true (safe for shared servers)

save_env_value() used bare open('w') which truncates .env immediately.
A crash or OOM kill between truncation and completed write silently
wipes every credential in the file.
Write now goes to a temp file first, then os.replace() swaps it
atomically. Either the old .env exists or the new one does — never
a truncated half-write. Same pattern used in cron/jobs.py.

MiniMax APIs (global and China) don't support /v1/models, causing
hermes doctor to always show HTTP 404 even with valid API keys.
Skip the HTTP check for these providers and show '(key configured)'
when the API key is present.

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).
