* feat: config-gated /verbose command for messaging gateway
Add gateway_config_gate field to CommandDef, allowing cli_only commands
to be conditionally available in the gateway based on a config value.
- CommandDef gains gateway_config_gate: str | None — a config dotpath
that, when truthy, overrides cli_only for gateway surfaces
- /verbose uses gateway_config_gate='display.tool_progress_command'
- Default is off (cli_only behavior preserved)
- When enabled, /verbose cycles tool_progress mode (off/new/all/verbose)
in the gateway, saving to config.yaml — same cycle as the CLI
- Gateway helpers (help, telegram menus, slack mapping) dynamically
check config to include/exclude config-gated commands
- GATEWAY_KNOWN_COMMANDS always includes config-gated commands so
the gateway recognizes them and can respond appropriately
- Handles YAML 1.1 bool coercion (bare 'off' parses as False)
- 8 new tests for the config gate mechanism + gateway handler
* docs: document gateway_config_gate and /verbose messaging support
- AGENTS.md: add gateway_config_gate to CommandDef fields
- slash-commands.md: note /verbose can be enabled for messaging, update Notes
- configuration.md: add tool_progress_command to display section + usage note
- cli.md: cross-link to config docs for messaging enablement
- messaging/index.md: show tool_progress_command in config snippet
- plugins.md: add gateway_config_gate to register_command parameter table
Previously, Tab only handled dropdown completions. Users seeing gray
ghost text from history-based suggestions had no way to accept them
with Tab - they had to use Right arrow or Ctrl+E.
Now Tab follows priority:
1. Completion menu open → accept selected completion
2. Ghost text suggestion available → accept auto-suggestion
3. Otherwise → start completion menu
This matches user intuition that Tab should 'complete what I see.'
- Add Status Bar section to user-guide/cli.md with layout example,
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
* 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 code-derived reference pages for slash commands, tools, toolsets,
bundled skills, and official optional skills
- document the skin system and link visual theming separately from
conversational personality
- refresh quickstart, configuration, environment variable, and messaging
docs to match current provider, gateway, and browser behavior
- fix stale command, session, and Home Assistant configuration guidance
Combined implementation of reasoning management:
- /reasoning Show current effort level and display state
- /reasoning <level> Set reasoning effort (none, low, medium, high, xhigh)
- /reasoning show|on Show model thinking/reasoning in output
- /reasoning hide|off Hide model thinking/reasoning from output
Effort level changes persist to config and force agent re-init.
Display toggle updates the agent callback dynamically without re-init.
When display is enabled:
- Intermediate reasoning shown as dim [thinking] lines during tool loops
- Final reasoning shown in a bordered box above the response
- Long reasoning collapsed (5 lines intermediate, 10 lines final)
Also adds:
- reasoning_callback parameter to AIAgent
- last_reasoning in run_conversation result dict
- show_reasoning config option (display section, default: false)
- Display section in /config output
- 34 tests covering both features
Combines functionality from PR #789 and PR #790.

Documents the quick_commands config feature from PR #746:
- configuration.md: full section with examples (server status, disk,
gpu, update), behavior notes (timeout, priority, works everywhere)
- cli.md: brief section with config example + link to config guide
- sessions.md: New 'Conversation Recap on Resume' subsection with visual
example, feature bullet points, and config snippet
- cli.md: New 'Session Resume Display' subsection with cross-reference
- configuration.md: Add resume_display to display settings YAML block
- AGENTS.md: Add _preload_resumed_session() and _display_resumed_history()
to key components, add UX note about resume panel
- website/docs/user-guide/sessions.md: New 'Session Naming' section
with /title usage, title rules, auto-lineage, gateway support.
Updated 'Resume by Name' section, 'Rename a Session' subsection,
updated sessions list output format, updated DB schema description.
- website/docs/reference/cli-commands.md: Added -c "name" and
--resume by title to Core Commands, sessions rename to Sessions
table, /title to slash commands.
- website/docs/user-guide/cli.md: Added -c "name" and --resume by
title to resume options.
- AGENTS.md: Added -c, --resume, sessions list/rename to CLI commands
table. Added hermes_state.py to project structure.
- CONTRIBUTING.md: Updated hermes_state.py and session persistence
descriptions to mention titles.
- hermes_cli/main.py: Fixed sessions help string to include 'rename'.
User messaging improvements:
- Rejection: '(>_<) Error: not a valid model' instead of '(^_^) Warning: Error:'
- Rejection: shows 'Model unchanged' + tip about /model and /provider
- Session-only: explains 'this session only' with reason and 'will revert on restart'
- Saved: clear '(saved to config)' confirmation
Docs updated:
- cli-commands.md, cli.md, messaging/index.md: /model now shows
provider:model syntax, /provider command added to tables
Test fixes: deduplicated test names, assertions match new messages.
Critical fixes:
- Add --worktree/-w to hermes_cli/main.py argparse (both chat
subcommand and top-level parser) so 'hermes -w' works via the
actual CLI entry point, not just 'python cli.py -w'
- Pass worktree flag through cmd_chat() kwargs to cli_main()
- Handle worktree attr in bare 'hermes' and --resume/--continue paths
Bug fixes in cli.py:
- Skip worktree creation for --list-tools/--list-toolsets (wasteful)
- Wrap git worktree subprocess.run in try/except (crash on timeout)
- Add stale worktree pruning on startup (_prune_stale_worktrees):
removes clean worktrees older than 24h left by crashed/killed sessions
Documentation updates:
- AGENTS.md: add --worktree to CLI commands table
- cli-config.yaml.example: add worktree config section
- website/docs/reference/cli-commands.md: add to core commands
- website/docs/user-guide/cli.md: add usage examples
- website/docs/user-guide/configuration.md: add config docs

- Stale worktree pruning (prune old clean, keep recent, keep dirty)
- Directory symlink via .worktreeinclude
- Edge cases (no commits, not a repo, pre-existing .worktrees/)
- CLI flag/config OR logic
- TERMINAL_CWD integration
