+
+          ## 1. Open Issues & PRs Audit
+
+          Review all open issues and PRs for security-relevant content. Tag any that touch attack surfaces with the `security` label.
+
+          - [ ] Review open issues older than 30 days for unaddressed security concerns
+          - [ ] Tag security-relevant open PRs with `needs-security-review`
+          - [ ] Check for any issues referencing CVEs or known vulnerabilities
+          - [ ] Review recently closed security issues — are fixes deployed?
+
+          ## 2. Dependency Audit
+
+          - [ ] Run `pip-audit` against current `requirements.txt` / `pyproject.toml`
+          - [ ] Check `uv.lock` for any pinned versions with known CVEs
+          - [ ] Review any `git+` dependencies for recent changes or compromise signals
+          - [ ] Update vulnerable dependencies and open PRs for each
+
+          ## 3. Critical Path Review
+
+          Review recent changes to attack-surface paths:
+
+          - [ ] `gateway/` — authentication, message routing, platform adapters
+          - [ ] `tools/` — file I/O, command execution, web access

+
+          - [ ] Run secret scanner on the full codebase (not just diffs)
+          - [ ] Verify no credentials are present in git history
+          - [ ] Confirm all API keys/tokens in use are rotated on a regular schedule
+
+          ## 5. Access & Permissions Review
+
+          - [ ] Review who has write access to the main branch
+          - [ ] Confirm branch protection rules are still in place (require PR + review)
+          - [ ] Verify CI/CD secrets are scoped correctly (not over-permissioned)
+          - [ ] Review CODEOWNERS file for accuracy

-## TUI Architecture (ui-tui + tui_gateway)
-
-The TUI is a full replacement for the classic (prompt_toolkit) CLI, activated via `hermes --tui` or `HERMES_TUI=1`.
-
-### Process Model
-
-```
-hermes --tui
-  └─ Node (Ink)  ──stdio JSON-RPC──  Python (tui_gateway)
-       │                                  └─ AIAgent + tools + sessions
-       └─ renders transcript, composer, prompts, activity
-```
-
-TypeScript owns the screen. Python owns sessions, tools, model calls, and slash command logic.
-
-### Transport
-
-Newline-delimited JSON-RPC over stdio. Requests from Ink, events from Python. See `tui_gateway/server.py` for the full method/event catalog.
-
-### Key Surfaces
-
-| Surface | Ink component | Gateway method |
-|---------|---------------|----------------|
-| Chat streaming | `app.tsx` + `messageLine.tsx` | `prompt.submit` → `message.delta/complete` |
-| Tool activity | `thinking.tsx` | `tool.start/progress/complete` |
-| Approvals | `prompts.tsx` | `approval.respond` ← `approval.request` |
-| Clarify/sudo/secret | `prompts.tsx`, `maskedPrompt.tsx` | `clarify/sudo/secret.respond` |
-| Session picker | `sessionPicker.tsx` | `session.list/resume` |
-| Slash commands | Local handler + fallthrough | `slash.exec` → `_SlashWorker`, `command.dispatch` |
-| Completions | `useCompletion` hook | `complete.slash`, `complete.path` |
-| Theming | `theme.ts` + `branding.tsx` | `gateway.ready` with skin data |
-
-### Slash Command Flow
-
-1. Built-in client commands (`/help`, `/quit`, `/clear`, `/resume`, `/copy`, `/paste`, etc.) handled locally in `app.tsx`
-2. Everything else → `slash.exec` (runs in persistent `_SlashWorker` subprocess) → `command.dispatch` fallback
-
-### Dev Commands
-
-```bash
-cd ui-tui
-npm install       # first time
-npm run dev       # watch mode (rebuilds hermes-ink + tsx --watch)
-npm start         # production
-npm run build     # full build (hermes-ink + tsc)
-npm run type-check # typecheck only (tsc --noEmit)
-npm run lint      # eslint
-npm run fmt       # prettier
-npm test          # vitest

 ## Testing
 
-**ALWAYS use `scripts/run_tests.sh`** — do not call `pytest` directly. The script enforces
-hermetic environment parity with CI (unset credential vars, TZ=UTC, LANG=C.UTF-8,
-4 xdist workers matching GHA ubuntu-latest). Direct `pytest` on a 16+ core
-developer machine with API keys set diverges from CI in ways that have caused
-multiple "works locally, fails in CI" incidents (and the reverse).
-
-```bash
-scripts/run_tests.sh                                  # full suite, CI-parity
-scripts/run_tests.sh tests/gateway/                   # one directory
-scripts/run_tests.sh tests/agent/test_foo.py::test_x  # one test
-scripts/run_tests.sh -v --tb=long                     # pass-through pytest flags
-```
-
-### Why the wrapper (and why the old "just call pytest" doesn't work)
-
-Five real sources of local-vs-CI drift the script closes:
-
-| | Without wrapper | With wrapper |
-|---|---|---|
-| Provider API keys | Whatever is in your env (auto-detects pool) | All `*_API_KEY`/`*_TOKEN`/etc. unset |
-| HOME / `~/.hermes/` | Your real config+auth.json | Temp dir per test |
-| Timezone | Local TZ (PDT etc.) | UTC |
-| Locale | Whatever is set | C.UTF-8 |
-| xdist workers | `-n auto` = all cores (20+ on a workstation) | `-n 4` matching CI |
-
-`tests/conftest.py` also enforces points 1-4 as an autouse fixture so ANY pytest
-invocation (including IDE integrations) gets hermetic behavior — but the wrapper
-is belt-and-suspenders.
-
-### Running without the wrapper (only if you must)
-
-If you can't use the wrapper (e.g. on Windows or inside an IDE that shells
-pytest directly), at minimum activate the venv and pass `-n 4`:
-
 ```bash
 source venv/bin/activate

-Worker count above 4 will surface test-ordering flakes that CI never sees.
-
 Always run the full suite before pushing changes.
-
-### Don't write change-detector tests
-
-A test is a **change-detector** if it fails whenever data that is **expected
-to change** gets updated — model catalogs, config version numbers,
-enumeration counts, hardcoded lists of provider models. These tests add no
-behavioral coverage; they just guarantee that routine source updates break
-CI and cost engineering time to "fix."
-
-**Do not write:**
-
-```python
-# catalog snapshot — breaks every model release
-assert "gemini-2.5-pro" in _PROVIDER_MODELS["gemini"]
-assert "MiniMax-M2.7" in models
-
-# config version literal — breaks every schema bump
-assert DEFAULT_CONFIG["_config_version"] == 21
-
-# enumeration count — breaks every time a skill/provider is added
-assert len(_PROVIDER_MODELS["huggingface"]) == 8
-```
-
-**Do write:**
-
-```python
-# behavior: does the catalog plumbing work at all?
-assert "gemini" in _PROVIDER_MODELS
-assert len(_PROVIDER_MODELS["gemini"]) >= 1
-
-# behavior: does migration bump the user's version to current latest?
-assert raw["_config_version"] == DEFAULT_CONFIG["_config_version"]
-
-# invariant: no plan-only model leaks into the legacy list
-assert not (set(moonshot_models) & coding_plan_only_models)
-
-# invariant: every model in the catalog has a context-length entry
-for m in _PROVIDER_MODELS["huggingface"]:
-    assert m.lower() in DEFAULT_CONTEXT_LENGTHS_LOWER
-```
-
-The rule: if the test reads like a snapshot of current data, delete it. If
-it reads like a contract about how two pieces of data must relate, keep it.
-When a PR adds a new provider/model and you want a test, make the test
-assert the relationship (e.g. "catalog entries all have context lengths"),
-not the specific names.
-
-Reviewers should reject new change-detector tests; authors should convert
-them into invariants before re-requesting review.

+# BOOT.md — Hermes Agent
+
+Fast path from clone to productive. Target: <10 minutes.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Prerequisites
+
+| Tool | Why |
+|---|---|
+| Git | Clone + submodules |
+| Python 3.11+ | Runtime requirement |
+| uv | Package manager (install: `curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh \| sh`) |
+| Node.js 18+ | Optional — browser tools, WhatsApp bridge |
+
+---
+
+## 2. First-Time Setup
+
+```bash
+git clone --recurse-submodules https://forge.alexanderwhitestone.com/Timmy_Foundation/hermes-agent.git
+cd hermes-agent
+
+# Create venv
+uv venv .venv --python 3.11
+source .venv/bin/activate
+
+# Install with all extras + dev tools
+uv pip install -e ".[all,dev]"
+```
+
+> **Common pitfall:** If `uv` is not on PATH, the `setup-hermes.sh` script will attempt to install it, but manual `uv` install is faster.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Smoke Tests (< 30 sec)
+
+```bash
+python scripts/smoke_test.py
+```
+
+Expected output:
+```
+OK: 4 core imports
+OK: 1 CLI entrypoints
+Smoke tests passed.
+```
+
+If imports fail with `ModuleNotFoundError`, re-run: `uv pip install -e ".[all,dev]"`
+
+---
+
+## 4. Full Test Suite (excluding integration)
+
+```bash
+pytest tests/ -x --ignore=tests/integration
+```
+
+> Integration tests require a running gateway + API keys. Skip them unless you are testing platform connectivity.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Run the CLI
+
+```bash
+python cli.py --help
+```
+
+To start the gateway (after configuring `~/.hermes/config.yaml`):
+```bash
+hermes gateway run
+```
+
+---
+
+## 6. Repo Layout for Agents
+
+| Path | What lives here |
+|---|---|
+| `cli.py` | Main entrypoint |
+| `hermes/` | Core agent logic |
+| `toolsets/` | Built-in tool implementations |
+| `skills/` | Bundled skills (loaded automatically) |
+| `optional-skills/` | Official but opt-in skills |
+| `tests/` | pytest suite |
+| `scripts/` | Utility scripts (smoke tests, deploy validation, etc.) |
+| `.gitea/workflows/` | Forge CI (smoke + build) |
+| `.github/workflows/` | GitHub mirror CI |
+
+---
+
+## 7. Gitea Workflow Conventions
+
+- **Push to `main`**: triggers `ci.yml` (smoke + build, < 5 min)
+- **Pull requests**: same CI + notebook CI if notebooks changed
+- **Merge requirement**: green smoke tests
+- Security scans run on schedule via `.github/workflows/`
+
+---
+
+## 8. Common Pitfalls
+
+| Symptom | Fix |
+|---|---|
+| `No module named httpx` | `uv pip install -e ".[all,dev]"` |
+| `prompt_toolkit` missing | Included in `[all]`, but install explicitly if you used minimal deps |
+| CLI hangs on start | Check `~/.hermes/config.yaml` exists and is valid YAML |
+| API key errors | Copy `.env.example` → `.env` and fill required keys |
+| Browser tools fail | Run `npm install` in repo root |
+
+---
+
+## 9. Quick Reference
+
+```bash
+# Reinstall after dependency changes
+uv pip install -e ".[all,dev]"
+
+# Run only smoke tests
+python scripts/smoke_test.py
+
+# Run syntax guard
+python scripts/syntax_guard.py
+
+# Start gateway
+hermes gateway run
+```

+
+## 1. Prerequisites
+
+| Requirement | Minimum | Recommended |
+|-------------|---------|-------------|
+| OS | Ubuntu 22.04 LTS | Ubuntu 24.04 LTS |
+| RAM | 512 MB | 2 GB |
+| CPU | 1 vCPU | 2 vCPU |
+| Disk | 5 GB | 20 GB |
+| Python | 3.11 | 3.12 |

+| Git | any | any |
+
+**Optional but recommended:**
+- Docker Engine ≥ 24 + Compose plugin (for containerised deployment)
+- `curl`, `jq` (for health-check scripting)
+
+---
+
+## 2. Environment Setup
+
+### 2a. Create a dedicated system user (bare-metal deployments)
+
+```bash
+sudo useradd -m -s /bin/bash hermes
+sudo su - hermes
+```
+
+### 2b. Install Hermes
+
+```bash
+# Official one-liner installer
+curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/main/scripts/install.sh | bash
+
+# Reload PATH so `hermes` is available
+source ~/.bashrc
+```
+
+The installer places:
+- The agent code at `~/.local/lib/python3.x/site-packages/` (pip editable install)
+- The `hermes` entry point at `~/.local/bin/hermes`
+- Default config directory at `~/.hermes/`
+
+### 2c. Verify installation
+
+```bash
+hermes --version
+hermes doctor
+```
+
+---
+
+## 3. Secret Injection
+
+**Rule: secrets never live in the repository. They live only in `~/.hermes/.env`.**
+
+```bash
+# Copy the template (do NOT edit the repo copy)
+cp /path/to/hermes-agent/.env.example ~/.hermes/.env
+chmod 600 ~/.hermes/.env
+
+# Edit with your preferred editor
+nano ~/.hermes/.env
+```
+
+### Minimum required keys
+
+| Variable | Purpose | Where to get it |
+|----------|---------|----------------|
+| `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` | LLM inference | https://openrouter.ai/keys |
+| `TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN` | Telegram gateway | @BotFather on Telegram |
+
+### Optional but common keys
+
+| Variable | Purpose |
+|----------|---------|
+| `DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN` | Discord gateway |
+| `SLACK_BOT_TOKEN` + `SLACK_APP_TOKEN` | Slack gateway |
+| `EXA_API_KEY` | Web search tool |
+| `FAL_KEY` | Image generation |
+| `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` | Direct Anthropic inference |
+
+### Pre-flight validation
+
+Before starting the stack, run:
+
+```bash
+python scripts/deploy-validate --check-ports --skip-health
+```
+
+This catches missing keys, placeholder values, and misconfigurations without touching running services.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Installation
+
+### 4a. Clone the repository (if not using the installer)
+
+```bash
+git clone https://forge.alexanderwhitestone.com/Timmy_Foundation/hermes-agent.git
+cd hermes-agent
+pip install -e ".[all]" --user
+npm install
+```
+
+### 4b. Run the setup wizard
+
+```bash
+hermes setup
+```
+
+The wizard configures your LLM provider, messaging platforms, and data directory interactively.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Starting the Stack
+
+### Bare-metal (foreground — useful for first run)
+
+```bash
+# Agent + gateway combined
+hermes gateway start
+
+# Or just the CLI agent (no messaging)
+hermes
+```
+
+### Bare-metal (background daemon)
+
+```bash
+hermes gateway start &
+echo $! > ~/.hermes/gateway.pid
+```
+
+### Via systemd (recommended for production)
+
+See [Section 12](#12-systemd-deployment).
+
+### Via Docker Compose
+
+See [Section 11](#11-docker-compose-deployment).
+
+---
+
+## 6. Health Checks
+
+### 6a. API server liveness probe
+
+The API server (enabled via `api_server` platform in gateway config) exposes `/health`:
+
+```bash
+curl -s http://127.0.0.1:8642/health | jq .
+```
+
+Expected response:
+
+```json
+{
+  "status": "ok",
+  "platform": "hermes-agent",
+  "version": "0.5.0",
+  "uptime_seconds": 123,
+  "gateway_state": "running",
+  "platforms": {
+    "telegram": {"state": "connected"},
+    "discord":  {"state": "connected"}
+  }
+}
+```
+
+| Field | Meaning |
+|-------|---------|
+| `status` | `"ok"` — HTTP server is alive. Any non-200 = down. |
+| `gateway_state` | `"running"` — all platforms started. `"starting"` — still initialising. |
+| `platforms` | Per-adapter connection state. |
+
+### 6b. Gateway runtime status file
+
+```bash
+cat ~/.hermes/gateway_state.json | jq '{state: .gateway_state, platforms: .platforms}'
+```
+
+### 6c. Deploy-validate script
+
+```bash
+python scripts/deploy-validate
+```
+
+Runs all checks and prints a pass/fail summary. Exit code 0 = healthy.
+
+### 6d. systemd health
+
+```bash
+systemctl status hermes-gateway
+journalctl -u hermes-gateway --since "5 minutes ago"
+```
+
+---
+
+## 7. Stop / Restart Procedures
+
+### Graceful stop
+
+```bash
+# systemd
+sudo systemctl stop hermes-gateway
+
+# Docker Compose
+docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yml down
+
+# Process signal (if running ad-hoc)
+kill -TERM $(cat ~/.hermes/gateway.pid)
+```
+
+### Restart
+
+```bash
+# systemd
+sudo systemctl restart hermes-gateway
+
+# Docker Compose
+docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yml restart hermes
+
+# Ad-hoc
+hermes gateway start --replace
+```
+
+The `--replace` flag removes stale PID/lock files from an unclean shutdown before starting.
+
+---
+
+## 8. Zero-Downtime Restart
+
+Hermes is a stateful long-running process (persistent sessions, active cron jobs). True zero-downtime requires careful sequencing.
+
+### Strategy A — systemd rolling restart (recommended)
+
+systemd's `Restart=on-failure` with a 5-second back-off ensures automatic recovery from crashes. For intentional restarts, use:
+
+```bash
+sudo systemctl reload-or-restart hermes-gateway
+```
+
+`hermes-gateway.service` uses `TimeoutStopSec=30` so in-flight agent turns finish before the old process dies.
+
+> **Note:** Active messaging conversations will see a brief pause (< 30 s) while the gateway reconnects to platforms. The session store is file-based and persists across restarts — conversations resume where they left off.
+
+### Strategy B — Blue/green with two HERMES_HOME directories
+
+For zero-downtime where even a brief pause is unacceptable:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Prepare the new environment (different HERMES_HOME)
+export HERMES_HOME=/home/hermes/.hermes-green
+hermes setup   # configure green env with same .env
+
+# 2. Start green on a different port (e.g. 8643)
+API_SERVER_PORT=8643 hermes gateway start &
+
+# 3. Verify green is healthy
+curl -s http://127.0.0.1:8643/health | jq .gateway_state
+
+# 4. Switch load balancer (nginx/caddy) to port 8643
+
+# 5. Gracefully stop blue
+kill -TERM $(cat ~/.hermes/.hermes/gateway.pid)
+```
+
+### Strategy C — Docker Compose rolling update
+
+```bash
+# Pull the new image
+docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yml pull hermes
+
+# Recreate with zero-downtime if you have a replicated setup
+docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yml up -d --no-deps hermes
+```
+
+Docker stops the old container only after the new one passes its healthcheck.
+
+---
+
+## 9. Rollback Procedure
+
+### 9a. Code rollback (pip install)
+
+```bash
+# Find the previous version tag
+git log --oneline --tags | head -10
+
+# Roll back to a specific tag
+git checkout v0.4.0
+pip install -e ".[all]" --user --quiet
+
+# Restart the gateway
+sudo systemctl restart hermes-gateway
+```
+
+### 9b. Docker image rollback
+
+```bash
+# Pull a specific version
+docker pull ghcr.io/nousresearch/hermes-agent:v0.4.0
+
+# Update docker-compose.yml image tag, then:
+docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yml up -d
+```
+
+### 9c. State / data rollback
+
+The data directory (`~/.hermes/` or the Docker volume `hermes_data`) contains sessions, memories, cron jobs, and the response store. Back it up before every update:
+
+```bash
+# Backup (run BEFORE updating)
+tar czf ~/backups/hermes_data_$(date +%F_%H%M).tar.gz ~/.hermes/
+
+# Restore from backup
+sudo systemctl stop hermes-gateway
+rm -rf ~/.hermes/
+tar xzf ~/backups/hermes_data_2026-04-06_1200.tar.gz -C ~/
+sudo systemctl start hermes-gateway
+```
+
+> **Tested rollback**: The rollback procedure above was validated in staging on 2026-04-06. Data integrity was confirmed by checking session count before/after: `ls ~/.hermes/sessions/ | wc -l`.
+
+---
+
+## 10. Database / State Migrations
+
+Hermes uses two persistent stores:
+
+| Store | Location | Format |
+|-------|----------|--------|
+| Session store | `~/.hermes/sessions/*.json` | JSON files |
+| Response store (API server) | `~/.hermes/response_store.db` | SQLite WAL |
+| Gateway state | `~/.hermes/gateway_state.json` | JSON |
+| Memories | `~/.hermes/memories/*.md` | Markdown files |
+| Cron jobs | `~/.hermes/cron/*.json` | JSON files |
+
+### Migration steps (between versions)
+
+1. **Stop** the gateway before migrating.
+2. **Backup** the data directory (see Section 9c).
+3. **Check release notes** for migration instructions (see `RELEASE_*.md`).
+4. **Run** `hermes doctor` after starting the new version — it validates state compatibility.
+5. **Verify** health via `python scripts/deploy-validate`.
+
+There are currently no SQL migrations to run manually. The SQLite schema is
+created automatically on first use with `CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS`.
+
+---
+
+## 11. Docker Compose Deployment
+
+### First-time setup
+
+```bash
+# 1. Copy .env.example to .env in the repo root
+cp .env.example .env
+nano .env   # fill in your API keys
+
+# 2. Validate config before starting
+python scripts/deploy-validate --skip-health
+
+# 3. Start the stack
+docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yml up -d
+
+# 4. Watch startup logs
+docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yml logs -f
+
+# 5. Verify health
+curl -s http://127.0.0.1:8642/health | jq .
+```
+
+### Updating to a new version
+
+```bash
+# Pull latest image
+docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yml pull
+
+# Recreate container (Docker waits for healthcheck before stopping old)
+docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yml up -d
+
+# Watch logs
+docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yml logs -f --since 2m
+```
+
+### Data backup (Docker)
+
+```bash
+docker run --rm \
+  -v hermes_data:/data \
+  -v $(pwd)/backups:/backup \
+  alpine tar czf /backup/hermes_data_$(date +%F).tar.gz /data
+```
+
+---
+
+## 12. systemd Deployment
+
+### Install unit files
+
+```bash
+# From the repo root
+sudo cp deploy/hermes-agent.service  /etc/systemd/system/
+sudo cp deploy/hermes-gateway.service /etc/systemd/system/
+
+sudo systemctl daemon-reload
+
+# Enable on boot + start now
+sudo systemctl enable --now hermes-gateway
+
+# (Optional) also run the CLI agent as a background service
+# sudo systemctl enable --now hermes-agent
+```
+
+### Adjust the unit file for your user/paths
+
+Edit `/etc/systemd/system/hermes-gateway.service`:
+
+```ini
+[Service]
+User=youruser          # change from 'hermes'
+WorkingDirectory=/home/youruser
+EnvironmentFile=/home/youruser/.hermes/.env
+ExecStart=/home/youruser/.local/bin/hermes gateway start --replace
+```
+
+Then:
+
+```bash
+sudo systemctl daemon-reload
+sudo systemctl restart hermes-gateway
+```
+
+### Verify
+
+```bash
+systemctl status hermes-gateway
+journalctl -u hermes-gateway -f
+```
+
+---
+
+## 13. Monitoring & Logs
+
+### Log locations
+
+| Log | Location |
+|-----|----------|
+| Gateway (systemd) | `journalctl -u hermes-gateway` |
+| Gateway (Docker) | `docker compose logs hermes` |
+| Session trajectories | `~/.hermes/logs/session_*.json` |
+| Deploy events | `~/.hermes/logs/deploy.log` |
+| Runtime state | `~/.hermes/gateway_state.json` |
+
+### Useful log commands
+
+```bash
+# Last 100 lines, follow
+journalctl -u hermes-gateway -n 100 -f
+
+# Errors only
+journalctl -u hermes-gateway -p err --since today
+
+# Docker: structured logs with timestamps
+docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yml logs --timestamps hermes
+```
+
+### Alerting
+
+Add a cron job on the host to page you if the health check fails:
+
+```bash
+# /etc/cron.d/hermes-healthcheck
+* * * * * root curl -sf http://127.0.0.1:8642/health > /dev/null || \
+  echo "Hermes unhealthy at $(date)" | mail -s "ALERT: Hermes down" ops@example.com
+```
+
+---
+
+## 14. Security Checklist
+
+- [ ] `.env` has permissions `600` and is **not** tracked by git (`git ls-files .env` returns nothing).
+- [ ] `API_SERVER_KEY` is set if the API server is exposed beyond `127.0.0.1`.
+- [ ] API server is bound to `127.0.0.1` (not `0.0.0.0`) unless behind a TLS-terminating reverse proxy.
+- [ ] Firewall allows only the ports your platforms require (no unnecessary open ports).
+- [ ] systemd unit uses `NoNewPrivileges=true`, `PrivateTmp=true`, `ProtectSystem=strict`.
+- [ ] Docker container has resource limits set (`deploy.resources.limits`).
+- [ ] Backups of `~/.hermes/` are stored outside the server (e.g. S3, remote NAS).
+- [ ] `hermes doctor` returns no errors on the running instance.
+- [ ] `python scripts/deploy-validate` exits 0 after every configuration change.
+
+---
+
+## 15. Troubleshooting
+
+### Gateway won't start
+
+```bash
+hermes gateway start --replace   # clears stale PID files
+
+# Check for port conflicts
+ss -tlnp | grep 8642
+
+# Verbose logs
+HERMES_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG hermes gateway start
+```
+
+### Health check returns `gateway_state: "starting"` for more than 60 s
+
+Platform adapters take time to authenticate (especially Telegram + Discord). Check logs for auth errors:
+
+```bash
+journalctl -u hermes-gateway --since "2 minutes ago" | grep -i "error\|token\|auth"
+```
+
+### `/health` returns connection refused
+
+The API server platform may not be enabled. Verify your gateway config (`~/.hermes/config.yaml`) includes:
+
+```yaml
+gateway:
+  platforms:
+    - api_server
+```
+
+### Rollback needed after failed update
+
+See [Section 9](#9-rollback-procedure). If you backed up before updating, rollback takes < 5 minutes.
+
+### Sessions lost after restart
+
+Sessions are file-based in `~/.hermes/sessions/`. They persist across restarts. If they are gone, check:
+
+```bash
+ls -la ~/.hermes/sessions/
+# Verify the volume is mounted (Docker):
+docker exec hermes-agent ls /opt/data/sessions/
+```

 **The self-improving AI agent built by [Nous Research](https://nousresearch.com).** It's the only agent with a built-in learning loop — it creates skills from experience, improves them during use, nudges itself to persist knowledge, searches its own past conversations, and builds a deepening model of who you are across sessions. Run it on a $5 VPS, a GPU cluster, or serverless infrastructure that costs nearly nothing when idle. It's not tied to your laptop — talk to it from Telegram while it works on a cloud VM.

-# Hermes Agent v0.10.0 (v2026.4.16)
-
-**Release Date:** April 16, 2026
-
-> The Tool Gateway release — paid Nous Portal subscribers can now use web search, image generation, text-to-speech, and browser automation through their existing subscription with zero additional API keys.
-
----
-
-## ✨ Highlights
-
-- **Nous Tool Gateway** — Paid [Nous Portal](https://portal.nousresearch.com) subscribers now get automatic access to **web search** (Firecrawl), **image generation** (FAL / FLUX 2 Pro), **text-to-speech** (OpenAI TTS), and **browser automation** (Browser Use) through their existing subscription. No separate API keys needed — just run `hermes model`, select Nous Portal, and pick which tools to enable. Per-tool opt-in via `use_gateway` config, full integration with `hermes tools` and `hermes status`, and the runtime correctly prefers the gateway even when direct API keys exist. Replaces the old hidden `HERMES_ENABLE_NOUS_MANAGED_TOOLS` env var with clean subscription-based detection. ([#11206](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/11206), based on work by @jquesnelle; docs: [#11208](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/11208))

-# Hermes Agent v0.3.0 (v2026.3.17)
-
-**Release Date:** March 17, 2026
-
-> The streaming, plugins, and provider release — unified real-time token delivery, first-class plugin architecture, rebuilt provider system with Vercel AI Gateway, native Anthropic provider, smart approvals, live Chrome CDP browser connect, ACP IDE integration, Honcho memory, voice mode, persistent shell, and 50+ bug fixes across every platform.
-
----
-
-## ✨ Highlights
-
-- **Unified Streaming Infrastructure** — Real-time token-by-token delivery in CLI and all gateway platforms. Responses stream as they're generated instead of arriving as a block. ([#1538](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1538))
-
-- **First-Class Plugin Architecture** — Drop Python files into `~/.hermes/plugins/` to extend Hermes with custom tools, commands, and hooks. No forking required. ([#1544](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1544), [#1555](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1555))
-
-- **Native Anthropic Provider** — Direct Anthropic API calls with Claude Code credential auto-discovery, OAuth PKCE flows, and native prompt caching. No OpenRouter middleman needed. ([#1097](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1097))
-
-- **Smart Approvals + /stop Command** — Codex-inspired approval system that learns which commands are safe and remembers your preferences. `/stop` kills the current agent run immediately. ([#1543](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1543))
-
-- **Honcho Memory Integration** — Async memory writes, configurable recall modes, session title integration, and multi-user isolation in gateway mode. By @erosika. ([#736](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/736))
-
-- **Voice Mode** — Push-to-talk in CLI, voice notes in Telegram/Discord, Discord voice channel support, and local Whisper transcription via faster-whisper. ([#1299](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1299), [#1185](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1185), [#1429](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1429))
-
-- **Concurrent Tool Execution** — Multiple independent tool calls now run in parallel via ThreadPoolExecutor, significantly reducing latency for multi-tool turns. ([#1152](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1152))
-
-- **PII Redaction** — When `privacy.redact_pii` is enabled, personally identifiable information is automatically scrubbed before sending context to LLM providers. ([#1542](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1542))
-
-- **`/browser connect` via CDP** — Attach browser tools to a live Chrome instance through Chrome DevTools Protocol. Debug, inspect, and interact with pages you already have open. ([#1549](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1549))
-
-- **Vercel AI Gateway Provider** — Route Hermes through Vercel's AI Gateway for access to their model catalog and infrastructure. ([#1628](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1628))
-
-- **Centralized Provider Router** — Rebuilt provider system with `call_llm` API, unified `/model` command, auto-detect provider on model switch, and direct endpoint overrides for auxiliary/delegation clients. ([#1003](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1003), [#1506](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1506), [#1375](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1375))
-
-- **ACP Server (IDE Integration)** — VS Code, Zed, and JetBrains can now connect to Hermes as an agent backend, with full slash command support. ([#1254](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1254), [#1532](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1532))
-
-- **Persistent Shell Mode** — Local and SSH terminal backends can maintain shell state across tool calls — cd, env vars, and aliases persist. By @alt-glitch. ([#1067](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1067), [#1483](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1483))
-
-- **Agentic On-Policy Distillation (OPD)** — New RL training environment for distilling agent policies, expanding the Atropos training ecosystem. ([#1149](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1149))
-

-
-## ✨ Highlights
-
-- **Nous Portal now supports 400+ models** — The Nous Research inference portal has expanded dramatically, giving Hermes Agent users access to over 400 models through a single provider endpoint
-
-- **Hugging Face as a first-class inference provider** — Full integration with HF Inference API including curated agentic model picker that maps to OpenRouter analogues, live `/models` endpoint probe, and setup wizard flow ([#3419](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3419), [#3440](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3440))
-
-- **Telegram Private Chat Topics** — Project-based conversations with functional skill binding per topic, enabling isolated workflows within a single Telegram chat ([#3163](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3163))
-
-- **Native Modal SDK backend** — Replaced swe-rex dependency with native Modal SDK (`Sandbox.create.aio` + `exec.aio`), eliminating tunnels and simplifying the Modal terminal backend ([#3538](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3538))
-
-- **Plugin lifecycle hooks activated** — `pre_llm_call`, `post_llm_call`, `on_session_start`, and `on_session_end` hooks now fire in the agent loop and CLI/gateway, completing the plugin hook system ([#3542](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3542))
-

-# Hermes Agent v0.6.0 (v2026.3.30)
-
-**Release Date:** March 30, 2026
-
-> The multi-instance release — Profiles for running isolated agent instances, MCP server mode, Docker container, fallback provider chains, two new messaging platforms (Feishu/Lark and WeCom), Telegram webhook mode, Slack multi-workspace OAuth, 95 PRs and 16 resolved issues in 2 days.
-
----
-
-## ✨ Highlights
-
-- **Profiles — Multi-Instance Hermes** — Run multiple isolated Hermes instances from the same installation. Each profile gets its own config, memory, sessions, skills, and gateway service. Create with `hermes profile create`, switch with `hermes -p <name>`, export/import for sharing. Full token-lock isolation prevents two profiles from using the same bot credential. ([#3681](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3681))
-
-- **MCP Server Mode** — Expose Hermes conversations and sessions to any MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, etc.) via `hermes mcp serve`. Browse conversations, read messages, search across sessions, and manage attachments — all through the Model Context Protocol. Supports both stdio and Streamable HTTP transports. ([#3795](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3795))
-
-- **Docker Container** — Official Dockerfile for running Hermes Agent in a container. Supports both CLI and gateway modes with volume-mounted config. ([#3668](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3668), closes [#850](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/issues/850))
-
-- **Ordered Fallback Provider Chain** — Configure multiple inference providers with automatic failover. When your primary provider returns errors or is unreachable, Hermes automatically tries the next provider in the chain. Configure via `fallback_providers` in config.yaml. ([#3813](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3813), closes [#1734](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/issues/1734))
-
-- **Feishu/Lark Platform Support** — Full gateway adapter for Feishu (飞书) and Lark with event subscriptions, message cards, group chat, image/file attachments, and interactive card callbacks. ([#3799](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3799), [#3817](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3817), closes [#1788](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/issues/1788))
-
-- **WeCom (Enterprise WeChat) Platform Support** — New gateway adapter for WeCom (企业微信) with text/image/voice messages, group chats, and callback verification. ([#3847](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3847))
-
-- **Slack Multi-Workspace OAuth** — Connect a single Hermes gateway to multiple Slack workspaces via OAuth token file. Each workspace gets its own bot token, resolved dynamically per incoming event. ([#3903](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3903))
-
-- **Telegram Webhook Mode & Group Controls** — Run the Telegram adapter in webhook mode as an alternative to polling — faster response times and better for production deployments behind a reverse proxy. New group mention gating controls when the bot responds: always, only when @mentioned, or via regex triggers. ([#3880](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3880), [#3870](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3870))
-
-- **Exa Search Backend** — Add Exa as an alternative web search and content extraction backend alongside Firecrawl and DuckDuckGo. Set `EXA_API_KEY` and configure as preferred backend. ([#3648](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3648))
-
-- **Skills & Credentials on Remote Backends** — Mount skill directories and credential files into Modal and Docker containers, so remote terminal sessions have access to the same skills and secrets as local execution. ([#3890](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3890), [#3671](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3671), closes [#3665](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/issues/3665), [#3433](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/issues/3433))

-## 🏗️ Core Agent & Architecture
-
-### Provider & Model Support
-- **Ordered fallback provider chain** — automatic failover across multiple configured providers ([#3813](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3813))
-- **Fix api_mode on provider switch** — switching providers via `hermes model` now correctly clears stale `api_mode` instead of hardcoding `chat_completions`, fixing 404s for providers with Anthropic-compatible endpoints ([#3726](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3726), [#3857](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3857), closes [#3685](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/issues/3685))
-- **Stop silent OpenRouter fallback** — when no provider is configured, Hermes now raises a clear error instead of silently routing to OpenRouter ([#3807](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3807), [#3862](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3862))
-- **Gemini 3.1 preview models** — added to OpenRouter and Nous Portal catalogs ([#3803](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3803), closes [#3753](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/issues/3753))
-- **Gemini direct API context length** — full context length resolution for direct Google AI endpoints ([#3876](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3876))
-- **gpt-5.4-mini** added to Codex fallback catalog ([#3855](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3855))
-- **Curated model lists preferred** over live API probe when the probe returns fewer models ([#3856](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3856), [#3867](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3867))
-- **User-friendly 429 rate limit messages** with Retry-After countdown ([#3809](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3809))
-- **Auxiliary client placeholder key** for local servers without auth requirements ([#3842](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3842))
-- **INFO-level logging** for auxiliary provider resolution ([#3866](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3866))
-
-### Agent Loop & Conversation
-- **Subagent status reporting** — reports `completed` status when summary exists instead of generic failure ([#3829](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3829))
-- **Session log file updated during compression** — prevents stale file references after context compression ([#3835](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3835))
-- **Omit empty tools param** — sends no `tools` parameter when empty instead of `None`, fixing compatibility with strict providers ([#3820](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3820))
-
-### Profiles & Multi-Instance
-- **Profiles system** — `hermes profile create/list/switch/delete/export/import/rename`. Each profile gets isolated HERMES_HOME, gateway service, CLI wrapper. Token locks prevent credential collisions. Tab completion for profile names. ([#3681](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3681))
-- **Profile-aware display paths** — all user-facing `~/.hermes` paths replaced with `display_hermes_home()` to show the correct profile directory ([#3623](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3623))
-- **Lazy display_hermes_home imports** — prevents `ImportError` during `hermes update` when modules cache stale bytecode ([#3776](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3776))
-- **HERMES_HOME for protected paths** — `.env` write-deny path now respects HERMES_HOME instead of hardcoded `~/.hermes` ([#3840](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3840))

-## ✨ Highlights
-
-- **Pluggable Memory Provider Interface** — Memory is now an extensible plugin system. Third-party memory backends (Honcho, vector stores, custom DBs) implement a simple provider ABC and register via the plugin system. Built-in memory is the default provider. Honcho integration restored to full parity as the reference plugin with profile-scoped host/peer resolution. ([#4623](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4623), [#4616](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4616), [#4355](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4355))
-
-- **Same-Provider Credential Pools** — Configure multiple API keys for the same provider with automatic rotation. Thread-safe `least_used` strategy distributes load across keys, and 401 failures trigger automatic rotation to the next credential. Set up via the setup wizard or `credential_pool` config. ([#4188](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4188), [#4300](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4300), [#4361](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4361))
-
-- **Camofox Anti-Detection Browser Backend** — New local browser backend using Camoufox for stealth browsing. Persistent sessions with VNC URL discovery for visual debugging, configurable SSRF bypass for local backends, auto-install via `hermes tools`. ([#4008](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4008), [#4419](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4419), [#4292](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4292))
-
-- **Inline Diff Previews** — File write and patch operations now show inline diffs in the tool activity feed, giving you visual confirmation of what changed before the agent moves on. ([#4411](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4411), [#4423](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4423))
-
-- **API Server Session Continuity & Tool Streaming** — The API server (Open WebUI integration) now streams tool progress events in real-time and supports `X-Hermes-Session-Id` headers for persistent sessions across requests. Sessions persist to the shared SessionDB. ([#4092](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4092), [#4478](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4478), [#4802](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4802))
-
-- **ACP: Client-Provided MCP Servers** — Editor integrations (VS Code, Zed, JetBrains) can now register their own MCP servers, which Hermes picks up as additional agent tools. Your editor's MCP ecosystem flows directly into the agent. ([#4705](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4705))
-
-- **Gateway Hardening** — Major stability pass across race conditions, photo media delivery, flood control, stuck sessions, approval routing, and compression death spirals. The gateway is substantially more reliable in production. ([#4727](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4727), [#4750](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4750), [#4798](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4798), [#4557](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4557))
-
-- **Security: Secret Exfiltration Blocking** — Browser URLs and LLM responses are now scanned for secret patterns, blocking exfiltration attempts via URL encoding, base64, or prompt injection. Credential directory protections expanded to `.docker`, `.azure`, `.config/gh`. Execute_code sandbox output is redacted. ([#4483](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4483), [#4360](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4360), [#4305](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4305), [#4327](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4327))

-# Hermes Agent v0.8.0 (v2026.4.8)
-
-**Release Date:** April 8, 2026
-
-> The intelligence release — background task auto-notifications, free MiMo v2 Pro on Nous Portal, live model switching across all platforms, self-optimized GPT/Codex guidance, native Google AI Studio, smart inactivity timeouts, approval buttons, MCP OAuth 2.1, and 209 merged PRs with 82 resolved issues.
-
----
-
-## ✨ Highlights
-
-- **Background Process Auto-Notifications (`notify_on_complete`)** — Background tasks can now automatically notify the agent when they finish. Start a long-running process (AI model training, test suites, deployments, builds) and the agent gets notified on completion — no polling needed. The agent can keep working on other things and pick up results when they land. ([#5779](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/5779))
-
-- **Free Xiaomi MiMo v2 Pro on Nous Portal** — Nous Portal now supports the free-tier Xiaomi MiMo v2 Pro model for auxiliary tasks (compression, vision, summarization), with free-tier model gating and pricing display in model selection. ([#6018](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/6018), [#5880](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/5880))
-
-- **Live Model Switching (`/model` Command)** — Switch models and providers mid-session from CLI, Telegram, Discord, Slack, or any gateway platform. Aggregator-aware resolution keeps you on OpenRouter/Nous when possible, with automatic cross-provider fallback when needed. Interactive model pickers on Telegram and Discord with inline buttons. ([#5181](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/5181), [#5742](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/5742))
-
-- **Self-Optimized GPT/Codex Tool-Use Guidance** — The agent diagnosed and patched 5 failure modes in GPT and Codex tool calling through automated behavioral benchmarking, dramatically improving reliability on OpenAI models. Includes execution discipline guidance and thinking-only prefill continuation for structured reasoning. ([#6120](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/6120), [#5414](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/5414), [#5931](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/5931))
-
-- **Google AI Studio (Gemini) Native Provider** — Direct access to Gemini models through Google's AI Studio API. Includes automatic models.dev registry integration for real-time context length detection across any provider. ([#5577](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/5577))
-
-- **Inactivity-Based Agent Timeouts** — Gateway and cron timeouts now track actual tool activity instead of wall-clock time. Long-running tasks that are actively working will never be killed — only truly idle agents time out. ([#5389](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/5389), [#5440](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/5440))
-
-- **Approval Buttons on Slack & Telegram** — Dangerous command approval via native platform buttons instead of typing `/approve`. Slack gets thread context preservation; Telegram gets emoji reactions for approval status. ([#5890](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/5890), [#5975](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/5975))
-
-- **MCP OAuth 2.1 PKCE + OSV Malware Scanning** — Full standards-compliant OAuth for MCP server authentication, plus automatic malware scanning of MCP extension packages via the OSV vulnerability database. ([#5420](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/5420), [#5305](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/5305))
-
-- **Centralized Logging & Config Validation** — Structured logging to `~/.hermes/logs/` (agent.log + errors.log) with the `hermes logs` command for tailing and filtering. Config structure validation catches malformed YAML at startup before it causes cryptic failures. ([#5430](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/5430), [#5426](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/5426))
-
-- **Plugin System Expansion** — Plugins can now register CLI subcommands, receive request-scoped API hooks with correlation IDs, prompt for required env vars during install, and hook into session lifecycle events (finalize/reset). ([#5295](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/5295), [#5427](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/5427), [#5470](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/5470), [#6129](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/6129))
-
-- **Matrix Tier 1 & Platform Hardening** — Matrix gets reactions, read receipts, rich formatting, and room management. Discord adds channel controls and ignored channels. Signal gets full MEDIA: tag delivery. Mattermost gets file attachments. Comprehensive reliability fixes across all platforms. ([#5275](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/5275), [#5975](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/5975), [#5602](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/5602))
-
-- **Security Hardening Pass** — Consolidated SSRF protections, timing attack mitigations, tar traversal prevention, credential leakage guards, cron path traversal hardening, and cross-session isolation. Terminal workdir sanitization across all backends. ([#5944](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/5944), [#5613](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/5613), [#5629](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/5629))

-> The everywhere release — Hermes goes mobile with Termux/Android, adds iMessage and WeChat, ships Fast Mode for OpenAI and Anthropic, introduces background process monitoring, launches a local web dashboard for managing your agent, and delivers the deepest security hardening pass yet across 16 supported platforms.
-
----
-
-## ✨ Highlights
-
-- **Local Web Dashboard** — A new browser-based dashboard for managing your Hermes Agent locally. Configure settings, monitor sessions, browse skills, and manage your gateway — all from a clean web interface without touching config files or the terminal. The easiest way to get started with Hermes.
-
-- **Fast Mode (`/fast`)** — Priority processing for OpenAI and Anthropic models. Toggle `/fast` to route through priority queues for significantly lower latency on supported models (GPT-5.4, Codex, Claude). Expands across all OpenAI Priority Processing models and Anthropic's fast tier. ([#6875](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/6875), [#6960](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/6960), [#7037](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/7037))
-
-- **iMessage via BlueBubbles** — Full iMessage integration through BlueBubbles, bringing Hermes to Apple's messaging ecosystem. Auto-webhook registration, setup wizard integration, and crash resilience. ([#6437](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/6437), [#6460](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/6460), [#6494](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/6494))
-
-- **WeChat (Weixin) & WeCom Callback Mode** — Native WeChat support via iLink Bot API and a new WeCom callback-mode adapter for self-built enterprise apps. Streaming cursor, media uploads, markdown link handling, and atomic state persistence. Hermes now covers the Chinese messaging ecosystem end-to-end. ([#7166](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/7166), [#7943](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/7943))
-
-- **Termux / Android Support** — Run Hermes natively on Android via Termux. Adapted install paths, TUI optimizations for mobile screens, voice backend support, and the `/image` command work on-device. ([#6834](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/6834))
-
-- **Background Process Monitoring (`watch_patterns`)** — Set patterns to watch for in background process output and get notified in real-time when they match. Monitor for errors, wait for specific events ("listening on port"), or watch build logs — all without polling. ([#7635](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/7635))
-
-- **Native xAI & Xiaomi MiMo Providers** — First-class provider support for xAI (Grok) and Xiaomi MiMo, with direct API access, model catalogs, and setup wizard integration. Plus Qwen OAuth with portal request support. ([#7372](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/7372), [#7855](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/7855))
-
-- **Pluggable Context Engine** — Context management is now a pluggable slot via `hermes plugins`. Swap in custom context engines that control what the agent sees each turn — filtering, summarization, or domain-specific context injection. ([#7464](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/7464))
-
-- **Unified Proxy Support** — SOCKS proxy, `DISCORD_PROXY`, and system proxy auto-detection across all gateway platforms. Hermes behind corporate firewalls just works. ([#6814](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/6814))
-
-- **Comprehensive Security Hardening** — Path traversal protection in checkpoint manager, shell injection neutralization in sandbox writes, SSRF redirect guards in Slack image uploads, Twilio webhook signature validation (SMS RCE fix), API server auth enforcement, git argument injection prevention, and approval button authorization. ([#7933](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/7933), [#7944](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/7944), [#7940](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/7940), [#7151](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/7151), [#7156](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/7156))
-
-- **`hermes backup` & `hermes import`** — Full backup and restore of your Hermes configuration, sessions, skills, and memory. Migrate between machines or create snapshots before major changes. ([#7997](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/7997))
-
-- **16 Supported Platforms** — With BlueBubbles (iMessage) and WeChat joining Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, Matrix, Email, SMS, DingTalk, Feishu, WeCom, Mattermost, Home Assistant, and Webhooks, Hermes now runs on 16 messaging platforms out of the box.
-
-- **`/debug` & `hermes debug share`** — New debugging toolkit: `/debug` slash command across all platforms for quick diagnostics, plus `hermes debug share` to upload a full debug report to a pastebin for easy sharing when troubleshooting. ([#8681](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/8681))

+# SECURE CODING GUIDELINES
+
+## Hermes Agent Development Security Standards
+**Version:** 1.0  
+**Effective Date:** March 30, 2026
+
+---
+
+## 1. GENERAL PRINCIPLES
+
+### 1.1 Security-First Mindset
+- Every feature must be designed with security in mind
+- Assume all input is malicious until proven otherwise
+- Defense in depth: multiple layers of security controls
+- Fail securely: when security controls fail, default to denial
+
+### 1.2 Threat Model
+Primary threats to consider:
+- Malicious user prompts
+- Compromised or malicious skills
+- Supply chain attacks
+- Insider threats
+- Accidental data exposure
+
+---
+
+## 2. INPUT VALIDATION
+
+### 2.1 Validate All Input
+```python
+# ❌ INCORRECT
+def process_file(path: str):
+    with open(path) as f:
+        return f.read()
+
+# ✅ CORRECT
+from pydantic import BaseModel, validator
+import re
+
+class FileRequest(BaseModel):
+    path: str
+    max_size: int = 1000000
+    
+    @validator('path')
+    def validate_path(cls, v):
+        # Block path traversal
+        if '..' in v or v.startswith('/'):
+            raise ValueError('Invalid path characters')
+        # Allowlist safe characters
+        if not re.match(r'^[\w\-./]+$', v):
+            raise ValueError('Invalid characters in path')
+        return v
+    
+    @validator('max_size')
+    def validate_size(cls, v):
+        if v < 0 or v > 10000000:
+            raise ValueError('Size out of range')
+        return v
+
+def process_file(request: FileRequest):
+    # Now safe to use request.path
+    pass
+```
+
+### 2.2 Length Limits
+Always enforce maximum lengths:
+```python
+MAX_INPUT_LENGTH = 10000
+MAX_FILENAME_LENGTH = 255
+MAX_PATH_LENGTH = 4096
+
+def validate_length(value: str, max_len: int, field_name: str):
+    if len(value) > max_len:
+        raise ValueError(f"{field_name} exceeds maximum length of {max_len}")
+```
+
+### 2.3 Type Safety
+Use type hints and enforce them:
+```python
+from typing import Union
+
+def safe_function(user_id: int, message: str) -> dict:
+    if not isinstance(user_id, int):
+        raise TypeError("user_id must be an integer")
+    if not isinstance(message, str):
+        raise TypeError("message must be a string")
+    # ... function logic
+```
+
+---
+
+## 3. COMMAND EXECUTION
+
+### 3.1 Never Use shell=True
+```python
+import subprocess
+import shlex
+
+# ❌ NEVER DO THIS
+subprocess.run(f"ls {user_input}", shell=True)
+
+# ❌ NEVER DO THIS EITHER
+cmd = f"cat {filename}"
+os.system(cmd)
+
+# ✅ CORRECT - Use list arguments
+subprocess.run(["ls", user_input], shell=False)
+
+# ✅ CORRECT - Use shlex for complex cases
+cmd_parts = shlex.split(user_input)
+subprocess.run(["ls"] + cmd_parts, shell=False)
+```
+
+### 3.2 Command Allowlisting
+```python
+ALLOWED_COMMANDS = frozenset([
+    "ls", "cat", "grep", "find", "git", "python", "pip"
+])
+
+def validate_command(command: str):
+    parts = shlex.split(command)
+    if parts[0] not in ALLOWED_COMMANDS:
+        raise SecurityError(f"Command '{parts[0]}' not allowed")
+```
+
+### 3.3 Input Sanitization
+```python
+import re
+
+def sanitize_shell_input(value: str) -> str:
+    """Remove dangerous shell metacharacters."""
+    # Block shell metacharacters
+    dangerous = re.compile(r'[;&|`$(){}[\]\\]')
+    if dangerous.search(value):
+        raise ValueError("Shell metacharacters not allowed")
+    return value
+```
+
+---
+
+## 4. FILE OPERATIONS
+
+### 4.1 Path Validation
+```python
+from pathlib import Path
+
+class FileSandbox:
+    def __init__(self, root: Path):
+        self.root = root.resolve()
+    
+    def validate_path(self, user_path: str) -> Path:
+        """Validate and resolve user-provided path within sandbox."""
+        # Expand user home
+        expanded = Path(user_path).expanduser()
+        
+        # Resolve to absolute path
+        try:
+            resolved = expanded.resolve()
+        except (OSError, ValueError) as e:
+            raise SecurityError(f"Invalid path: {e}")
+        
+        # Ensure path is within sandbox
+        try:
+            resolved.relative_to(self.root)
+        except ValueError:
+            raise SecurityError("Path outside sandbox")
+        
+        return resolved
+    
+    def safe_open(self, user_path: str, mode: str = 'r'):
+        safe_path = self.validate_path(user_path)
+        return open(safe_path, mode)
+```
+
+### 4.2 Prevent Symlink Attacks
+```python
+import os
+
+def safe_read_file(filepath: Path):
+    """Read file, following symlinks only within allowed directories."""
+    # Resolve symlinks
+    real_path = filepath.resolve()
+    
+    # Verify still in allowed location after resolution
+    if not str(real_path).startswith(str(SAFE_ROOT)):
+        raise SecurityError("Symlink escape detected")
+    
+    # Verify it's a regular file
+    if not real_path.is_file():
+        raise SecurityError("Not a regular file")
+    
+    return real_path.read_text()
+```
+
+### 4.3 Temporary Files
+```python
+import tempfile
+import os
+
+def create_secure_temp_file():
+    """Create temp file with restricted permissions."""
+    # Create with restrictive permissions
+    fd, path = tempfile.mkstemp(prefix="hermes_", suffix=".tmp")
+    try:
+        # Set owner-read/write only
+        os.chmod(path, 0o600)
+        return fd, path
+    except:
+        os.close(fd)
+        os.unlink(path)
+        raise
+```
+
+---
+
+## 5. SECRET MANAGEMENT
+
+### 5.1 Environment Variables
+```python
+import os
+
+# ❌ NEVER DO THIS
+def execute_command(command: str):
+    # Child inherits ALL environment
+    subprocess.run(command, shell=True, env=os.environ)
+
+# ✅ CORRECT - Explicit whitelisting
+_ALLOWED_ENV = frozenset([
+    "PATH", "HOME", "USER", "LANG", "TERM", "SHELL"
+])
+
+def get_safe_environment():
+    return {k: v for k, v in os.environ.items() 
+            if k in _ALLOWED_ENV}
+
+def execute_command(command: str):
+    subprocess.run(
+        command, 
+        shell=False, 
+        env=get_safe_environment()
+    )
+```
+
+### 5.2 Secret Detection
+```python

+    re.compile(r'[a-zA-Z0-9]{40}'),      # Generic high-entropy strings
+]
+
+def detect_secrets(text: str) -> list:

+        findings.extend(matches)
+    return findings
+
+def redact_secrets(text: str) -> str:
+    """Redact detected secrets."""
+    for pattern in _SECRET_PATTERNS:
+        text = pattern.sub('***REDACTED***', text)
+    return text
+```
+
+### 5.3 Secure Logging
+```python
+import logging
+from agent.redact import redact_sensitive_text
+
+class SecureLogger:
+    def __init__(self, logger: logging.Logger):
+        self.logger = logger
+

+
+## 6. NETWORK SECURITY
+
+### 6.1 URL Validation
+```python
+from urllib.parse import urlparse
+import ipaddress
+
+_BLOCKED_SCHEMES = frozenset(['file', 'ftp', 'gopher'])

+    except ValueError:
+        pass  # Not an IP, continue
+    
+    return True
+```
+
+### 6.2 Redirect Handling
+```python
+import requests
+
+def safe_get(url: str, max_redirects: int = 5):
+    """GET URL with redirect validation."""
+    session = requests.Session()
+    session.max_redirects = max_redirects

+    )
+    
+    return response
+```
+
+---
+
+## 7. AUTHENTICATION & AUTHORIZATION
+
+### 7.1 API Key Validation
+```python
+import secrets
+import hmac
+import hashlib
+
+def constant_time_compare(val1: str, val2: str) -> bool:

+
+### 7.2 Session Management

+
+### 8.1 Secure Error Messages
+```python
+import logging
+
+# Internal detailed logging
+logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
+
+class UserFacingError(Exception):
+    """Error safe to show to users."""
+    pass

+        # Generic message to user
+        raise UserFacingError("An error occurred")
+```
+
+### 8.2 Exception Handling
+```python
+def safe_operation():
+    try:
+        risky_operation()
+    except Exception as e:
+        # Always clean up resources
+        cleanup_resources()

+        # Re-raise or convert
+        raise
+```
+
+---
+
+## 9. CRYPTOGRAPHY
+
+### 9.1 Password Hashing
+```python
+import bcrypt
+
+def hash_password(password: str) -> str:
+    """Hash password using bcrypt."""
+    salt = bcrypt.gensalt(rounds=12)

+
+def verify_password(password: str, hashed: str) -> bool:
+    """Verify password against hash."""
+    return bcrypt.checkpw(password.encode(), hashed.encode())
+```
+
+### 9.2 Secure Random
+```python
+import secrets

+def generate_token(length: int = 32) -> str:
+    """Generate cryptographically secure token."""
+    return secrets.token_urlsafe(length)
+

-# Hermes Agent Security Policy
-
-This document outlines the security protocols, trust model, and deployment hardening guidelines for the **Hermes Agent** project.
-
-## 1. Vulnerability Reporting
-
-Hermes Agent does **not** operate a bug bounty program. Security issues should be reported via [GitHub Security Advisories (GHSA)](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/security/advisories/new) or by emailing **security@nousresearch.com**. Do not open public issues for security vulnerabilities.
-
-### Required Submission Details
-- **Title & Severity:** Concise description and CVSS score/rating.
-- **Affected Component:** Exact file path and line range (e.g., `tools/approval.py:120-145`).
-- **Environment:** Output of `hermes version`, commit SHA, OS, and Python version.
-- **Reproduction:** Step-by-step Proof-of-Concept (PoC) against `main` or the latest release.
-- **Impact:** Explanation of what trust boundary was crossed.
-
----
-
-## 2. Trust Model
-
-The core assumption is that Hermes is a **personal agent** with one trusted operator.
-
-### Operator & Session Trust
-- **Single Tenant:** The system protects the operator from LLM actions, not from malicious co-tenants. Multi-user isolation must happen at the OS/host level.
-- **Gateway Security:** Authorized callers (Telegram, Discord, Slack, etc.) receive equal trust. Session keys are used for routing, not as authorization boundaries.
-- **Execution:** Defaults to `terminal.backend: local` (direct host execution). Container isolation (Docker, Modal, Daytona) is opt-in for sandboxing.
-
-### Dangerous Command Approval
-The approval system (`tools/approval.py`) is a core security boundary. Terminal commands, file operations, and other potentially destructive actions are gated behind explicit user confirmation before execution. The approval mode is configurable via `approvals.mode` in `config.yaml`:
-- `"on"` (default) — prompts the user to approve dangerous commands.
-- `"auto"` — auto-approves after a configurable delay.
-- `"off"` — disables the gate entirely (break-glass; see Section 3).
-
-### Output Redaction
-`agent/redact.py` strips secret-like patterns (API keys, tokens, credentials) from all display output before it reaches the terminal or gateway platform. This prevents accidental credential leakage in chat logs, tool previews, and response text. Redaction operates on the display layer only — underlying values remain intact for internal agent operations.
-
-### Skills vs. MCP Servers
-- **Installed Skills:** High trust. Equivalent to local host code; skills can read environment variables and run arbitrary commands.
-- **MCP Servers:** Lower trust. MCP subprocesses receive a filtered environment (`_build_safe_env()` in `tools/mcp_tool.py`) — only safe baseline variables (`PATH`, `HOME`, `XDG_*`) plus variables explicitly declared in the server's `env` config block are passed through. Host credentials are stripped by default. Additionally, packages invoked via `npx`/`uvx` are checked against the OSV malware database before spawning.
-
-### Code Execution Sandbox
-The `execute_code` tool (`tools/code_execution_tool.py`) runs LLM-generated Python scripts in a child process with API keys and tokens stripped from the environment to prevent credential exfiltration. Only environment variables explicitly declared by loaded skills (via `env_passthrough`) or by the user in `config.yaml` (`terminal.env_passthrough`) are passed through. The child accesses Hermes tools via RPC, not direct API calls.
-
-### Subagents
-- **No recursive delegation:** The `delegate_task` tool is disabled for child agents.
-- **Depth limit:** `MAX_DEPTH = 2` — parent (depth 0) can spawn a child (depth 1); grandchildren are rejected.
-- **Memory isolation:** Subagents run with `skip_memory=True` and do not have access to the parent's persistent memory provider. The parent receives only the task prompt and final response as an observation.
-
----
-
-## 3. Out of Scope (Non-Vulnerabilities)
-
-The following scenarios are **not** considered security breaches:
-- **Prompt Injection:** Unless it results in a concrete bypass of the approval system, toolset restrictions, or container sandbox.
-- **Public Exposure:** Deploying the gateway to the public internet without external authentication or network protection.
-- **Trusted State Access:** Reports that require pre-existing write access to `~/.hermes/`, `.env`, or `config.yaml` (these are operator-owned files).
-- **Default Behavior:** Host-level command execution when `terminal.backend` is set to `local` — this is the documented default, not a vulnerability.
-- **Configuration Trade-offs:** Intentional break-glass settings such as `approvals.mode: "off"` or `terminal.backend: local` in production.
-- **Tool-level read/access restrictions:** The agent has unrestricted shell access via the `terminal` tool by design. Reports that a specific tool (e.g., `read_file`) can access a resource are not vulnerabilities if the same access is available through `terminal`. Tool-level deny lists only constitute a meaningful security boundary when paired with equivalent restrictions on the terminal side (as with write operations, where `WRITE_DENIED_PATHS` is paired with the dangerous command approval system).
-
----
-
-## 4. Deployment Hardening & Best Practices
-
-### Filesystem & Network
-- **Production sandboxing:** Use container backends (`docker`, `modal`, `daytona`) instead of `local` for untrusted workloads.
-- **File permissions:** Run as non-root (the Docker image uses UID 10000); protect credentials with `chmod 600 ~/.hermes/.env` on local installs.
-- **Network exposure:** Do not expose the gateway or API server to the public internet without VPN, Tailscale, or firewall protection. SSRF protection is enabled by default across all gateway platform adapters (Telegram, Discord, Slack, Matrix, Mattermost, etc.) with redirect validation. Note: the local terminal backend does not apply SSRF filtering, as it operates within the trusted operator's environment.
-
-### Skills & Supply Chain
-- **Skill installation:** Review Skills Guard reports (`tools/skills_guard.py`) before installing third-party skills. The audit log at `~/.hermes/skills/.hub/audit.log` tracks every install and removal.
-- **MCP safety:** OSV malware checking runs automatically for `npx`/`uvx` packages before MCP server processes are spawned.
-- **CI/CD:** GitHub Actions are pinned to full commit SHAs. The `supply-chain-audit.yml` workflow blocks PRs containing `.pth` files or suspicious `base64`+`exec` patterns.
-
-### Credential Storage
-- API keys and tokens belong exclusively in `~/.hermes/.env` — never in `config.yaml` or checked into version control.
-- The credential pool system (`agent/credential_pool.py`) handles key rotation and fallback. Credentials are resolved from environment variables, not stored in plaintext databases.
-
----
-
-## 5. Disclosure Process
-
-- **Coordinated Disclosure:** 90-day window or until a fix is released, whichever comes first.
-- **Communication:** All updates occur via the GHSA thread or email correspondence with security@nousresearch.com.
-- **Credits:** Reporters are credited in release notes unless anonymity is requested.

+# V-006 MCP OAuth Deserialization Vulnerability Fix
+
+## Summary
+Fixed the critical V-006 vulnerability (CVSS 8.8) in MCP OAuth handling that used insecure deserialization, potentially enabling remote code execution.
+
+## Changes Made
+
+### 1. Secure OAuth State Serialization (`tools/mcp_oauth.py`)
+- **Replaced pickle with JSON**: OAuth state is now serialized using JSON instead of `pickle.loads()`, eliminating the RCE vector
+- **Added HMAC-SHA256 signatures**: All state data is cryptographically signed to prevent tampering
+- **Implemented secure deserialization**: `SecureOAuthState.deserialize()` validates structure, signature, and expiration
+- **Added constant-time comparison**: Token validation uses `secrets.compare_digest()` to prevent timing attacks
+
+### 2. Token Storage Security Enhancements
+- **JSON Schema Validation**: Token data is validated against strict schemas before use
+- **HMAC Signing**: Stored tokens are signed with HMAC-SHA256 to detect file tampering
+- **Strict Type Checking**: All token fields are type-validated
+- **File Permissions**: Token directory created with 0o700, files with 0o600
+
+### 3. Security Features
+- **Nonce-based replay protection**: Each state has a unique nonce tracked by the state manager
+- **10-minute expiration**: States automatically expire after 600 seconds
+- **CSRF protection**: State validation prevents cross-site request forgery
+- **Environment-based keys**: Supports `HERMES_OAUTH_SECRET` and `HERMES_TOKEN_STORAGE_SECRET` env vars
+
+### 4. Comprehensive Security Tests (`tests/test_oauth_state_security.py`)
+54 security tests covering:
+- Serialization/deserialization roundtrips
+- Tampering detection (data and signature)
+- Schema validation for tokens and client info
+- Replay attack prevention
+- CSRF attack prevention
+- MITM attack detection
+- Pickle payload rejection
+- Performance tests
+
+## Files Modified
+- `tools/mcp_oauth.py` - Complete rewrite with secure state handling
+- `tests/test_oauth_state_security.py` - New comprehensive security test suite
+
+## Security Verification
+```bash
+# Run security tests
+python tests/test_oauth_state_security.py
+
+# All 54 tests pass:
+# - TestSecureOAuthState: 20 tests
+# - TestOAuthStateManager: 10 tests  
+# - TestSchemaValidation: 8 tests
+# - TestTokenStorageSecurity: 6 tests
+# - TestNoPickleUsage: 2 tests
+# - TestSecretKeyManagement: 3 tests
+# - TestOAuthFlowIntegration: 3 tests
+# - TestPerformance: 2 tests
+```
+
+## API Changes (Backwards Compatible)
+- `SecureOAuthState` - New class for secure state handling
+- `OAuthStateManager` - New class for state lifecycle management
+- `HermesTokenStorage` - Enhanced with schema validation and signing
+- `OAuthStateError` - New exception for security violations
+
+## Deployment Notes
+1. Existing token files will be invalidated (no signature) - users will need to re-authenticate
+2. New secret key will be auto-generated in `~/.hermes/.secrets/`
+3. Environment variables can override key locations:
+   - `HERMES_OAUTH_SECRET` - For state signing
+   - `HERMES_TOKEN_STORAGE_SECRET` - For token storage signing

-    Naming note — two distinct concepts, easily confused:
-      max_tokens     = OUTPUT token cap for a single response.
-                       Anthropic's API calls this "max_tokens" but it only
-                       limits the *output*.  Anthropic's own native SDK
-                       renamed it "max_output_tokens" for clarity.
-      context_length = TOTAL context window (input tokens + output tokens).
-                       The API enforces: input_tokens + max_tokens ≤ context_length.
-                       Stored on the ContextCompressor; reduced on overflow errors.
-
-    When *max_tokens* is None the model's native output ceiling is used
-    (e.g. 128K for Opus 4.6, 64K for Sonnet 4.6).
-
-    When *context_length* is provided and the model's native output ceiling
-    exceeds it (e.g. a local endpoint with an 8K window), the output cap is
-    clamped to context_length − 1.  This only kicks in for unusually small
-    context windows; for full-size models the native output cap is always
-    smaller than the context window so no clamping happens.
-    NOTE: this clamping does not account for prompt size — if the prompt is
-    large, Anthropic may still reject the request.  The caller must detect
-    "max_tokens too large given prompt" errors and retry with a smaller cap
-    (see parse_available_output_tokens_from_error + _ephemeral_max_output_tokens).
+    When *max_tokens* is None, the model's native output limit is used
+    (e.g. 128K for Opus 4.6, 64K for Sonnet 4.6).  If *context_length*
+    is provided, the effective limit is clamped so it doesn't exceed
+    the context window.
 
     When *is_oauth* is True, applies Claude Code compatibility transforms:
     system prompt prefix, tool name prefixing, and prompt sanitization.
 
     When *preserve_dots* is True, model name dots are not converted to hyphens
     (for Alibaba/DashScope anthropic-compatible endpoints: qwen3.5-plus).
-
-    When *base_url* points to a third-party Anthropic-compatible endpoint,
-    thinking block signatures are stripped (they are Anthropic-proprietary).
-
-    When *fast_mode* is True, adds ``extra_body["speed"] = "fast"`` and the
-    fast-mode beta header for ~2.5x faster output throughput on Opus 4.6.
-    Currently only supported on native Anthropic endpoints (not third-party

-"""Abstract base class for pluggable context engines.
-
-A context engine controls how conversation context is managed when
-approaching the model's token limit. The built-in ContextCompressor
-is the default implementation. Third-party engines (e.g. LCM) can
-replace it via the plugin system or by being placed in the
-``plugins/context_engine/<name>/`` directory.
-
-Selection is config-driven: ``context.engine`` in config.yaml.
-Default is ``"compressor"`` (the built-in). Only one engine is active.
-
-The engine is responsible for:
-  - Deciding when compaction should fire
-  - Performing compaction (summarization, DAG construction, etc.)
-  - Optionally exposing tools the agent can call (e.g. lcm_grep)
-  - Tracking token usage from API responses
-
-Lifecycle:
-  1. Engine is instantiated and registered (plugin register() or default)
-  2. on_session_start() called when a conversation begins
-  3. update_from_response() called after each API response with usage data
-  4. should_compress() checked after each turn
-  5. compress() called when should_compress() returns True
-  6. on_session_end() called at real session boundaries (CLI exit, /reset,
-     gateway session expiry) — NOT per-turn

-"""Context-RAG Decision Framework — adaptive retrieval based on context pressure.
-
-With models that have 128K-1M token context windows, always prefetching from
-RAG is wasteful when context is mostly empty and insufficient when context is
-nearly full. This module provides a strategy layer that adapts prefetch behavior
-to remaining context budget.
-
-Strategies:
-  - stuff:     Context < 30% used → prefetch aggressively, load more facts.
-               The model has room to reason over everything directly.
-  - hybrid:    Context 30-70% used → prefetch selectively with standard limits.
-               Key facts in context, rest available via tool calls.
-  - selective:  Context > 70% used → only prefetch on high-signal queries.
-               Tighter limits; defer to on-demand tool retrieval.
-
-The framework is deliberately simple — it's a decision heuristic, not a neural
-router. Simplicity means reliability at the edge cases that matter (crisis
-intervention, long debugging sessions, multi-hour research).

-"""Unified removal contract for every credential source Hermes reads from.
-
-Hermes seeds its credential pool from many places:
-
-    env:<VAR>     — os.environ / ~/.hermes/.env
-    claude_code   — ~/.claude/.credentials.json
-    hermes_pkce   — ~/.hermes/.anthropic_oauth.json
-    device_code   — auth.json providers.<provider> (nous, openai-codex, ...)
-    qwen-cli      — ~/.qwen/oauth_creds.json
-    gh_cli        — gh auth token
-    config:<name> — custom_providers config entry
-    model_config  — model.api_key when model.provider == "custom"
-    manual        — user ran `hermes auth add`
-
-Each source has its own reader inside ``agent.credential_pool._seed_from_*``
-(which keep their existing shape — we haven't restructured them).  What we
-unify here is **removal**:
-
-    ``hermes auth remove <provider> <N>`` must make the pool entry stay gone.
-
-Before this module, every source had an ad-hoc removal branch in
-``auth_remove_command``, and several sources had no branch at all — so
-``auth remove`` silently reverted on the next ``load_pool()`` call for
-qwen-cli, nous device_code (partial), hermes_pkce, copilot gh_cli, and
-custom-config sources.
-
-Now every source registers a ``RemovalStep`` that does exactly three things
-in the same shape:
-
-    1. Clean up whatever externally-readable state the source reads from
-       (.env line, auth.json block, OAuth file, etc.)
-    2. Suppress the ``(provider, source_id)`` in auth.json so the
-       corresponding ``_seed_from_*`` branch skips the upsert on re-load
-    3. Return ``RemovalResult`` describing what was cleaned and any
-       diagnostic hints the user should see (shell-exported env vars,
-       external credential files we deliberately don't delete, etc.)
-
-Adding a new credential source is:
-    - wire up a reader branch in ``_seed_from_*`` (existing pattern)
-    - gate that reader behind ``is_source_suppressed(provider, source_id)``
-    - register a ``RemovalStep`` here
-
-No more per-source if/elif chain in ``auth_remove_command``.

-"""OpenAI-compatible facade that talks to Google's Cloud Code Assist backend.
-
-This adapter lets Hermes use the ``google-gemini-cli`` provider as if it were
-a standard OpenAI-shaped chat completion endpoint, while the underlying HTTP
-traffic goes to ``cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com/v1internal:{generateContent,
-streamGenerateContent}`` with a Bearer access token obtained via OAuth PKCE.
-
-Architecture
-------------
-- ``GeminiCloudCodeClient`` exposes ``.chat.completions.create(**kwargs)``
-  mirroring the subset of the OpenAI SDK that ``run_agent.py`` uses.
-- Incoming OpenAI ``messages[]`` / ``tools[]`` / ``tool_choice`` are translated
-  to Gemini's native ``contents[]`` / ``tools[].functionDeclarations`` /
-  ``toolConfig`` / ``systemInstruction`` shape.
-- The request body is wrapped ``{project, model, user_prompt_id, request}``
-  per Code Assist API expectations.
-- Responses (``candidates[].content.parts[]``) are converted back to
-  OpenAI ``choices[0].message`` shape with ``content`` + ``tool_calls``.
-- Streaming uses SSE (``?alt=sse``) and yields OpenAI-shaped delta chunks.
-
-Attribution
------------
-Translation semantics follow jenslys/opencode-gemini-auth (MIT) and the public
-Gemini API docs. Request envelope shape
-(``{project, model, user_prompt_id, request}``) is documented nowhere; it is
-reverse-engineered from the opencode-gemini-auth and clawdbot implementations.

-"""OpenAI-compatible facade over Google AI Studio's native Gemini API.
-
-Hermes keeps ``api_mode='chat_completions'`` for the ``gemini`` provider so the
-main agent loop can keep using its existing OpenAI-shaped message flow.
-This adapter is the transport shim that converts those OpenAI-style
-``messages[]`` / ``tools[]`` requests into Gemini's native
-``models/{model}:generateContent`` schema and converts the responses back.
-
-Why this exists
----------------
-Google's OpenAI-compatible endpoint has been brittle for Hermes's multi-turn
-agent/tool loop (auth churn, tool-call replay quirks, thought-signature
-requirements).  The native Gemini API is the canonical path and avoids the
-OpenAI-compat layer entirely.

-"""Google Code Assist API client — project discovery, onboarding, quota.
-
-The Code Assist API powers Google's official gemini-cli. It sits at
-``cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com`` and provides:
-
-- Free tier access (generous daily quota) for personal Google accounts
-- Paid tier access via GCP projects with billing / Workspace / Standard / Enterprise
-
-This module handles the control-plane dance needed before inference:
-
-1. ``load_code_assist()`` — probe the user's account to learn what tier they're on
-   and whether a ``cloudaicompanionProject`` is already assigned.
-2. ``onboard_user()`` — if the user hasn't been onboarded yet (new account, fresh
-   free tier, etc.), call this with the chosen tier + project id. Supports LRO
-   polling for slow provisioning.
-3. ``retrieve_user_quota()`` — fetch the ``buckets[]`` array showing remaining
-   quota per model, used by the ``/gquota`` slash command.
-
-VPC-SC handling: enterprise accounts under a VPC Service Controls perimeter
-will get ``SECURITY_POLICY_VIOLATED`` on ``load_code_assist``. We catch this
-and force the account to ``standard-tier`` so the call chain still succeeds.
-
-Derived from opencode-gemini-auth (MIT) and clawdbot/extensions/google. The
-request/response shapes are specific to Google's internal Code Assist API,
-documented nowhere public — we copy them from the reference implementations.

-Shell-script hooks bridge.
-
-Reads the ``hooks:`` block from ``cli-config.yaml``, prompts the user for
-consent on first use of each ``(event, command)`` pair, and registers
-callbacks on the existing plugin hook manager so every existing
-``invoke_hook()`` site dispatches to the configured shell scripts — with
-zero changes to call sites.
-
-Design notes
-------------
-* Python plugins and shell hooks compose naturally: both flow through
-  :func:`hermes_cli.plugins.invoke_hook` and its aggregators.  Python
-  plugins are registered first (via ``discover_and_load()``) so their
-  block decisions win ties over shell-hook blocks.
-* Subprocess execution uses ``shlex.split(os.path.expanduser(command))``
-  with ``shell=False`` — no shell injection footguns.  Users that need
-  pipes/redirection wrap their logic in a script.
-* First-use consent is gated by the allowlist under
-  ``~/.hermes/shell-hooks-allowlist.json``.  Non-TTY callers must pass
-  ``accept_hooks=True`` (resolved from ``--accept-hooks``,
-  ``HERMES_ACCEPT_HOOKS``, or ``hooks_auto_accept: true`` in config)
-  for registration to succeed without a prompt.
-* Registration is idempotent — safe to invoke from both the CLI entry
-  point (``hermes_cli/main.py``) and the gateway entry point
-  (``gateway/run.py``).
