Thorough code review found 5 issues across run_agent.py, cli.py, and gateway/:
1. CRITICAL — Gateway stream consumer task never started: stream_consumer_holder
was checked BEFORE run_sync populated it. Fixed with async polling pattern
(same as track_agent).
2. MEDIUM-HIGH — Streaming fallback after partial delivery caused double-response:
if streaming failed after some tokens were delivered, the fallback would
re-deliver the full response. Now tracks deltas_were_sent and only falls
back when no tokens reached consumers yet.
3. MEDIUM — Codex mode lost on_first_delta spinner callback: _run_codex_stream
now accepts on_first_delta parameter, fires it on first text delta. Passed
through from _interruptible_streaming_api_call via _codex_on_first_delta
instance attribute.
4. MEDIUM — CLI close-tag after-text bypassed tag filtering: text after a
reasoning close tag was sent directly to _emit_stream_text, skipping
open-tag detection. Now routes through _stream_delta for full filtering.
5. LOW — Removed 140 lines of dead code: old _streaming_api_call method
(superseded by _interruptible_streaming_api_call). Updated 13 tests in
test_run_agent.py and test_openai_client_lifecycle.py to use the new
method name and signature.
4573 tests passing.
Previously the fallback only triggered on specific error keywords like
'streaming is not supported'. Many third-party providers have partial
or broken streaming — rejecting stream=True, crashing on stream_options,
dropping connections mid-stream, returning malformed chunks, etc.
Now: any exception during the streaming API call triggers an automatic
fallback to the standard non-streaming request path. The error is logged
at INFO level for diagnostics but never surfaces to the user. If the
fallback also fails, THAT error propagates normally.
This ensures streaming is additive — it improves UX when it works but
never breaks providers that don't support it.
Tests: 2 new (any-error fallback, double-failure propagation), 15 total.
Fixes#1445 — When using Docker backend, the user's current working
directory is now automatically bind-mounted to /workspace inside the
container. This allows users to run `cd my-project && hermes` and have
their project files accessible to the agent without manual volume config.
Changes:
- Add host_cwd and auto_mount_cwd parameters to DockerEnvironment
- Capture original host CWD in _get_env_config() before container fallback
- Pass host_cwd through _create_environment() to Docker backend
- Add TERMINAL_DOCKER_NO_AUTO_MOUNT env var to disable if needed
- Skip auto-mount when /workspace is already explicitly mounted
- Add tests for auto-mount behavior
- Add documentation for the new feature
The auto-mount is skipped when:
1. TERMINAL_DOCKER_NO_AUTO_MOUNT=true is set
2. User configured docker_volumes with :/workspace
3. persistent_filesystem=true (persistent sandbox mode)
This makes the Docker backend behave more intuitively — the agent
operates on the user's actual project directory by default.
Salvaged from PR #1104 by kshitijk4poor. Closes#683.
Adds a persistent status bar to the CLI showing model name, context
window usage with visual bar, estimated cost, and session duration.
Responsive layout degrades gracefully for narrow terminals.
Changes:
- agent/usage_pricing.py: shared pricing table, cost estimation with
Decimal arithmetic, duration/token formatting helpers
- agent/insights.py: refactored to reuse usage_pricing (eliminates
duplicate pricing table and formatting logic)
- cli.py: status bar with FormattedTextControl fragments, color-coded
context thresholds (green/yellow/orange/red), enhanced /usage with
cost breakdown, 1Hz idle refresh for status bar updates
- tests/test_cli_status_bar.py: status bar snapshot, width collapsing,
usage report with/without pricing, zero-priced model handling
- tests/test_insights.py: verify zero-priced providers show as unknown
Salvage fixes:
- Resolved conflict with voice status bar (both coexist in layout)
- Import _format_context_length from hermes_cli.banner (moved since PR)

When typing /model deepseek-chat while on a different provider, the
model name now auto-resolves to the correct provider instead of
silently staying on the wrong one and causing API errors.
Detection priority:
1. Direct provider with credentials (e.g. DEEPSEEK_API_KEY set)
2. OpenRouter catalog match with proper slug remapping
3. Direct provider without creds (clear error beats silent failure)
Also adds DeepSeek as a first-class API-key provider — just set
DEEPSEEK_API_KEY and /model deepseek-chat routes directly.
Bare model names get remapped to proper OpenRouter slugs:
/model gpt-5.4 → openai/gpt-5.4
/model claude-opus-4.6 → anthropic/claude-opus-4.6
Salvages the concept from PR #1177 by @virtaava with credential
awareness and OpenRouter slug mapping added.

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.
Include participant identifiers in non-DM session keys when available so group and channel conversations no longer share one transcript across every active user in the chat.
Add _ensure_ssl_certs() that discovers CA certificate bundles before any
HTTP library is imported. Resolution order:
1. Python's ssl.get_default_verify_paths()
2. certifi (if installed)
3. Common distro/macOS paths
Only sets SSL_CERT_FILE if not already present in the environment.
Wrapped in a function (called immediately) to avoid polluting module
namespace.
Based on PR #1151 by sylvesterroos.
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.
Complete the YAML null handling for all three SessionResetPolicy fields.
at_hour and idle_minutes already had null coalescing; mode was still
using data.get('mode', 'both') which returns None when the key exists
with an explicit null value.
Add regression test covering all-null input.

* fix(agent): skip reasoning extra_body for models that don't support it
Sending reasoning config to models like MiniMax or Nvidia via OpenRouter
causes a 400 BadRequestError. Previously, reasoning extra_body was sent
to all OpenRouter and Nous models unconditionally.
Fix: only send reasoning extra_body when the model slug starts with a
known reasoning-capable prefix (deepseek/, anthropic/, openai/, x-ai/,
google/gemini-2, qwen/qwen3) or when using Nous Portal directly.
Applies to both the main API call path (_build_api_kwargs) and the
conversation summary path.
Fixes#1083

- Add 'emoji' field to ToolEntry and 'get_emoji()' to ToolRegistry
- Add emoji= to all 50+ registry.register() calls across tool files
- Add get_tool_emoji() helper in agent/display.py with 3-tier resolution:
skin override → registry default → hardcoded fallback
- Replace hardcoded emoji maps in run_agent.py, delegate_tool.py, and
gateway/run.py with centralized get_tool_emoji() calls
- Add 'tool_emojis' field to SkinConfig so skins can override per-tool
emojis (e.g. ares skin could use swords instead of wrenches)
- Add 11 tests (5 registry emoji, 6 display/skin integration)
- Update AGENTS.md skin docs table
Based on the approach from PR #1061 by ForgingAlex (emoji centralization
in registry). This salvage fixes several issues from the original:
- Does NOT split the cronjob tool (which would crash on missing schemas)
- Does NOT change image_generate toolset/requires_env/is_async
- Does NOT delete existing tests
- Completes the centralization (gateway/run.py was missed)
- Hooks into the skin system for full customizability
SSH persistent shell now defaults to true — non-local backends benefit
most from state persistence across execute() calls. Local backend
remains opt-in via TERMINAL_LOCAL_PERSISTENT env var.
New config.yaml option: terminal.persistent_shell (default: true)
Controls the default for non-local backends. Users can disable with:
hermes config set terminal.persistent_shell false
Precedence: per-backend env var > TERMINAL_PERSISTENT_SHELL > default.
Wired through cli.py, gateway/run.py, and hermes_cli/config.py so the
config.yaml value reaches terminal_tool via env var bridge.
Fixes#1036
After adding an MCP server to config.yaml, users had to restart Hermes
before the new tools became visible — even though /reload-mcp existed.
Add _check_config_mcp_changes() called from process_loop every 5s:
- stat() config.yaml for mtime changes (fast path, no YAML parse)
- On mtime change, parse and compare mcp_servers section
- If mcp_servers changed, auto-trigger _reload_mcp() and notify user
- Skip check while agent is running to avoid interrupting tool calls
- Throttled to CONFIG_WATCH_INTERVAL=5s to avoid busy-polling
/reload-mcp still works for manual force-reload.
Tests: 6 new tests in TestMCPConfigWatch, all passed

Restore the existing vLLM integration test module that was accidentally replaced during development and add a focused agent-loop regression test for dict tool-call arguments from OpenAI-compatible local backends.
Normalize tool call arguments when OpenAI-compatible backends return parsed dict/list payloads instead of JSON strings. This prevents the .strip() crash during tool-call validation for llama.cpp and similar servers, while preserving existing empty-string and invalid-JSON handling. Adds a focused regression test for dict arguments in the agent loop.
Two changes to align Discord behavior with Slack:
1. Auto-thread on @mention (default: true)
- When someone @mentions the bot in a server channel, a thread is
automatically created from their message and the response goes there.
- Each thread gets its own isolated session (like Slack).
- Configurable via discord.auto_thread in config.yaml (default: true)
or DISCORD_AUTO_THREAD env var (env takes precedence).
- DMs and existing threads are unaffected.
2. Skip @mention in bot-participated threads
- Once the bot has responded in a thread (auto-created or manually
entered), subsequent messages in that thread no longer require
@mention. Users can just type normally.
- Tracked via in-memory set (_bot_participated_threads). After a
gateway restart, users need to @mention once to re-establish.
- Threads the bot hasn't participated in still require @mention.
Config change:
discord:
auto_thread: true # new, added to DEFAULT_CONFIG
Tests: 7 new tests covering auto-thread default, disable, bot thread
participation tracking, and mention skip logic. All 903 gateway tests pass.
When a cronjob is created from within a Telegram or Slack thread,
deliver=origin was posting to the parent channel instead of the thread.
Root cause: the gateway never set HERMES_SESSION_THREAD_ID in the
session environment, so cronjob_tools.py could not capture thread_id
into the job's origin metadata — even though the scheduler already
reads origin.get('thread_id').
Fix:
- gateway/run.py: set HERMES_SESSION_THREAD_ID when thread_id is
present on the session context, and clear it in _clear_session_env
- tools/cronjob_tools.py: read HERMES_SESSION_THREAD_ID into origin
Closes#1219
Hermes startup entrypoints now load ~/.hermes/.env and project fallback env files with user config taking precedence over stale shell-exported values. This makes model/provider/base URL changes in .env actually take effect after restarting Hermes. Adds a shared env loader plus regression coverage, and reproduces the original bug case where OPENAI_BASE_URL and HERMES_INFERENCE_PROVIDER remained stuck on old shell values before import.
Add an explicit messaging-extra install hint to the missing PyNaCl/davey error path, cover it with a voice-channel join regression test, and skip the low-level NaCl packet tests when PyNaCl is not installed locally.
Tests cover the actual code paths changed in voice fixes:
_on_packet DAVE passthrough (8 tests):
- Known SSRC + DAVE decrypt success → buffered
- Unknown SSRC + DAVE → skip DAVE, passthrough to Opus
- DAVE "Unencrypted" error → passthrough, not dropped
- DAVE other error → packet dropped
- No DAVE session → direct decode
- Bot's own SSRC → ignored (echo prevention)
- Multiple SSRCs → separate buffers
SSRC auto-mapping (6 tests):
- Single allowed user → auto-mapped
- Multiple allowed users → no auto-map
- No allowlist → sole non-bot member inferred
- Unallowed user → rejected
- Only bot in channel → no map
- Auto-map persists across checks
Buffer lifecycle (4 tests):
- Known SSRC completed utterance
- Short buffer ignored
- Recent audio waits
- Stale unknown buffer discarded
TTS playback (10 tests):
- play_tts calls play_in_voice_channel in VC
- play_tts falls through when not in VC
- play_tts wrong channel no match
- Voice input dedup (runner skips)
- Text + voice_mode combinations
- Error/empty response skipped
- Agent TTS tool dedup
UDP keepalive (2 tests):
- Interval within bounds
- Silence frame actually sent via send_packet
play_tts was returning success without playing anything when bot was
in a voice channel. Now it calls play_in_voice_channel directly.
Simplified skip_double dedup: base adapter handles voice input TTS
via play_tts (which now works for VC), runner skips to avoid double.
Track adapter background message-processing tasks, cancel them during gateway shutdown, and interrupt running agents before disconnecting adapters. This prevents old gateway instances from continuing in-flight work after stop/replace, which was contributing to the restart-time task continuation/flicker behavior reported in #1414. Adds regression coverage for adapter task cancellation and shutdown interrupts.
Resolve session IDs by exact match or unique prefix for sessions delete/export/rename so IDs copied from Preview Last Active Src ID

_save_platform_tools() overwrote the entire platform_toolsets list with
only the toolsets known to CONFIGURABLE_TOOLSETS. This silently dropped
any MCP server toolsets that users had added manually to config.yaml.
Fix: collect any existing toolset keys that are not in CONFIGURABLE_TOOLSETS
and append them back after the wizard's selections are written. This ensures
MCP toolsets survive a hermes tools save.
Fixes#1247
Extend subprocess env sanitization beyond provider credentials by blocking Hermes-managed tool, messaging, and related gateway runtime vars. Reuse a shared sanitizer in LocalEnvironment and ProcessRegistry so background and PTY processes honor the same blocklist and _HERMES_FORCE_ escape hatch. Add regression coverage for local env execution and process_registry spawning.
Update interrupt-key expectations for namespaced DM session keys and add a regression test that different DM chat IDs produce distinct gateway sessions.
