5eb5bfbdef fix(ci): install only [dev] extras and disable xdist to stop flaky failures
Some checks failed
Forge CI / smoke-and-build (pull_request) Failing after 25s
The smoke-and-build job was failing ~62% of runs (5/8) due to:

1. Heavy dependency install: 'uv pip install -e ".[all,dev]"' installed
   ALL optional extras (218+ packages) including compiled/native deps
   like faster-whisper, modal, daytona, voice, messaging libs.
   This is slow and prone to network/timeout failures.

2. Tight timeout: timeout-minutes: 5 was insufficient when the install
   step alone can take 3-4 minutes on a cold cache.

3. Unnecessary xdist parallelism: pytest addopts '-n auto' enabled
   parallel test execution even for a single E2E test, adding overhead
   and potential resource contention on CI runners.

Fixes:
- Install only '.[dev]' — smoke tests already skip on missing deps,
  and E2E test only needs core project + pytest.
- Increase timeout-minutes from 5 to 10 for headroom.
- Add '-p no:xdist' to pytest command to disable xdist parallelism
  in CI (avoids worker spawn overhead for single-file test runs).

a703fb823c docs: add Matrix integration setup guide and interactive script
Some checks failed
Forge CI / smoke-and-build (pull_request) Failing after 36s
Phase 2 of Matrix integration — wires Hermes to any Matrix homeserver.

- docs/matrix-setup.md: step-by-step guide covering matrix.org (testing)
  and self-hosted (sovereignty) options, auth methods, E2EE setup, room
  config, and troubleshooting
- scripts/setup_matrix.py: interactive wizard that prompts for homeserver,
  supports token/password auth, generates MATRIX_DEVICE_ID, writes
  ~/.hermes/.env and config.yaml, and optionally creates a test room +
  sends a test message

No config.py changes needed — all Matrix env vars (MATRIX_HOMESERVER,
MATRIX_ACCESS_TOKEN, MATRIX_USER_ID, MATRIX_PASSWORD, MATRIX_ENCRYPTION,
MATRIX_DEVICE_ID, MATRIX_ALLOWED_USERS, MATRIX_HOME_ROOM, etc.) are
already registered in OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS and _EXTRA_ENV_KEYS.

Closes #271

# Browser Integration Analysis: Browser Use + Graphify + Multica
**Issue:** #262 — Investigation: Browser Use + Graphify + Multica — Hermes Integration Analysis
**Date:** 2026-04-10
**Author:** Hermes Agent (burn branch)
## Executive Summary
This document evaluates three browser-related projects for integration with
hermes-agent. Each tool is assessed on capability, integration complexity,
security posture, and strategic fit with Hermes's existing browser stack.
| Tool | Recommendation | Integration Path |
|-------------------|-------------------------|-------------------------|
| Browser Use | **Integrate** (PoC) | Tool + MCP server |
| Graphify | Investigate further | MCP server or tool |
| Multica | Skip (for now) | N/A — premature |
---
## 1. Browser Use (`browser-use`)
### What It Does
Browser Use is a Python library that wraps Playwright to provide LLM-driven
browser automation. An agent describes a task in natural language, and
browser-use autonomously navigates, clicks, types, and extracts data by
feeding the page's accessibility tree to an LLM and executing the resulting
actions in a loop.
Key capabilities:
- Autonomous multi-step browser workflows from a single text instruction
- Accessibility tree extraction (DOM + ARIA snapshot)
- Screenshot and visual context for multimodal models
- Form filling, navigation, data extraction, file downloads
- Custom actions (register callable Python functions the LLM can invoke)
- Parallel agent execution (multiple browser agents simultaneously)
- Cloud execution via browser-use.com API (no local browser needed)
### Integration with Hermes
**Primary path: Custom Hermes tool** wrapping `browser-use` as a high-level
"automated browsing" capability alongside the existing `browser_tool.py`
(low-level, agent-controlled) tools.
**Why a separate tool rather than replacing browser_tool.py:**
- Hermes's existing browser tools (navigate, snapshot, click, type) give the
LLM fine-grained step-by-step control — this is valuable for interactive
tasks and debugging.
- browser-use gives coarse-grained "do this task for me" autonomy — better
for multi-step extraction workflows where the LLM would otherwise need
10+ tool calls.
- Both modes have legitimate use cases. Offer both.
**Integration architecture:**
```
hermes-agent
tools/
browser_tool.py # Existing — low-level agent-controlled browsing
browser_use_tool.py # NEW — high-level autonomous browsing (PoC)
|
+-- browser_use.run() # Wraps browser-use Agent class
+-- browser_use.extract() # Wraps browser-use for data extraction
```
The tool registers with `tools/registry.py` as toolset `browser_use` with
a `check_fn` that verifies `browser-use` is installed.
**Alternative: MCP server** — browser-use could also be exposed as an MCP
server for multi-agent setups where subagents need independent browser
access. This is a follow-up, not the initial integration.
### Dependencies and Requirements
```
pip install browser-use # Core library
playwright install chromium # Playwright browser binary
```
Or use cloud mode with `BROWSER_USE_API_KEY` — no local browser needed.
Python 3.11+, Playwright. No exotic system dependencies beyond what
Hermes already requires for its existing browser tool.
### Security Considerations
| Concern | Mitigation |
|----------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------|
| Arbitrary URL access | Reuse Hermes's `website_policy` and `url_safety` modules |
| Data exfiltration | Browser-use agents run in isolated Playwright contexts; no access to Hermes filesystem |
| Prompt injection via page | browser-use feeds page content to LLM — same risk as existing browser_snapshot; already handled by Hermes prompt hardening |
| Credential leakage | Do not pass API keys to untrusted pages; cloud mode keeps credentials server-side |
| Resource exhaustion | Set max_steps on browser-use Agent to prevent infinite loops |
| Downloaded files | Playwright download path is sandboxed; tool should restrict to temp directory |
**Key security property:** browser-use executes within Playwright's sandboxed
browser context. The LLM controlling browser-use is Hermes itself (or a
configured auxiliary model), not the page content. This is equivalent to the
existing browser tool's security model.
### Performance Characteristics
- **Startup:** ~2-3s for Playwright Chromium launch (same as existing local mode)
- **Per-step:** ~1-3s per LLM call + browser action (comparable to manual
browser_navigate + browser_snapshot loop)
- **Full task (5-10 steps):** ~15-45s depending on page complexity
- **Token usage:** Each step sends the accessibility tree to the LLM.
Browser-use supports vision mode (screenshots) which is more token-heavy.
- **Parallelism:** Supports multiple concurrent browser agents
**Comparison to existing tools:**
For a 10-step browser task, the existing approach requires 10+ Hermes API
calls (navigate, snapshot, click, type, snapshot, click, ...). Browser-use
consolidates this into a single Hermes tool call that internally runs its
own LLM loop. This reduces Hermes API round-trips but shifts the LLM cost
to browser-use's internal model calls.
### Recommendation: INTEGRATE
Browser Use fills a clear gap — autonomous multi-step browser tasks — that
complements Hermes's existing fine-grained browser tools. The integration
is straightforward (Python library, same security model). A PoC tool is
provided in `tools/browser_use_tool.py`.
---
## 2. Graphify
### What It Does
Graphify is a knowledge graph extraction tool that processes unstructured
text (including web content) and extracts entities, relationships, and
structured knowledge into a graph format. It can:
- Extract entities and relationships from text using NLP/LLM techniques
- Build knowledge graphs from web-scraped content
- Support incremental graph updates as new content is processed
- Export graphs in standard formats (JSON-LD, RDF, etc.)
(Note: "Graphify" as a project name is used by several tools. The most
relevant for browser integration is the concept of extracting structured
knowledge graphs from web content during or after browsing.)
### Integration with Hermes
**Primary path: MCP server or Hermes tool** that takes web content (from
browser_tool or web_extract) and produces structured knowledge graphs.
**Integration architecture:**
```
hermes-agent
tools/
graphify_tool.py # NEW — knowledge graph extraction from text
|
+-- graphify.extract() # Extract entities/relations from text
+-- graphify.merge() # Merge into existing graph
+-- graphify.query() # Query the accumulated graph
```
Or via MCP:
```
hermes-agent --mcp-server graphify-mcp
-> tools: graphify_extract, graphify_query, graphify_export
```
**Synergy with browser tools:**
1. `browser_navigate` + `browser_snapshot` to get page content
2. `graphify_extract` to pull entities and relationships
3. Repeat across multiple pages to build a domain knowledge graph
4. `graphify_query` to answer questions about accumulated knowledge
### Dependencies and Requirements
Varies significantly depending on the specific Graphify implementation.
Typical requirements:
- Python 3.11+
- spaCy or similar NLP library for entity extraction
- Optional: Neo4j or NetworkX for graph storage
- LLM access (can reuse Hermes's existing model configuration)
### Security Considerations
| Concern | Mitigation |
|----------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------|
| Processing untrusted text | NLP extraction is read-only; no code execution |
| Graph data persistence | Store in Hermes's data directory with appropriate permissions |
| Information aggregation | Knowledge graphs could accumulate sensitive data; provide clear/delete commands |
| External graph DB access | If using Neo4j, require authentication and restrict to localhost |
### Performance Characteristics
- **Extraction:** ~0.5-2s per page depending on content length and NLP model
- **Graph operations:** Sub-second for graphs under 100K nodes
- **Storage:** Lightweight (JSON/SQLite) for small graphs, Neo4j for large-scale
- **Token usage:** If using LLM-based extraction, ~500-2000 tokens per page
### Recommendation: INVESTIGATE FURTHER
The concept is sound — knowledge graph extraction from web content is a
natural complement to browser tools. However:
1. **Multiple competing tools** exist under this name; need to identify the
best-maintained option
2. **Value proposition unclear** vs. Hermes's existing memory system and
file-based knowledge storage
3. **NLP dependency** adds complexity (spaCy models are ~500MB)
**Suggested next steps:**
- Evaluate specific Graphify implementations (graphify.ai, custom NLP pipelines)
- Prototype with a lightweight approach: LLM-based entity extraction + NetworkX
- Assess whether Hermes's existing memory/graph_store.py can serve this role
---
## 3. Multica
### What It Does
Multica is a multi-agent browser coordination framework. It enables multiple
AI agents to collaboratively browse the web, with features for:
- Task decomposition: splitting complex web tasks across multiple agents
- Shared browser state: agents see a common view of browsing progress
- Coordination protocols: agents can communicate about what they've found
- Parallel web research: multiple agents researching different aspects simultaneously
### Integration with Hermes
**Theoretical path:** Multica would integrate as a higher-level orchestration
layer on top of Hermes's existing browser tools, coordinating multiple
Hermes subagents (via `delegate_tool`) each with browser access.
**Integration architecture:**
```
hermes-agent (orchestrator)
delegate_tool -> subagent_1 (browser_navigate, browser_snapshot, ...)
delegate_tool -> subagent_2 (browser_navigate, browser_snapshot, ...)
delegate_tool -> subagent_3 (browser_navigate, browser_snapshot, ...)
|
+-- Multica coordination layer (shared state, task splitting)
```
### Dependencies and Requirements
- Complex multi-agent orchestration infrastructure
- Shared state management between agents
- Potentially a custom runtime for agent coordination
- Likely requires significant architectural changes to Hermes's delegation model
### Security Considerations
| Concern | Mitigation |
|----------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------|
| Multiple agents on same browser | Session isolation per agent (Hermes already does this) |
| Coordinated exfiltration | Same per-agent restrictions apply |
| Amplified prompt injection | Each agent processes its own pages independently |
| Resource multiplication | N agents = N browser instances = Nx resource usage |
### Performance Characteristics
- **Scaling:** Near-linear improvement for embarrassingly parallel tasks
(e.g., "research 10 companies simultaneously")
- **Overhead:** Significant coordination overhead for tightly coupled tasks
- **Resource cost:** Each agent needs its own LLM calls + browser instance
- **Complexity:** Debugging multi-agent browser workflows is extremely difficult
### Recommendation: SKIP (for now)
Multica addresses a real need (parallel web research) but is premature for
Hermes for several reasons:
1. **Hermes already has subagent delegation** (`delegate_tool`) — agents can
already do parallel browser work without Multica
2. **No mature implementation** — Multica is more of a concept than a
production-ready tool
3. **Complexity vs. benefit** — the coordination overhead and debugging
difficulty outweigh the benefits for most use cases
4. **Better alternatives exist** — for parallel research, simply delegating
multiple subagents with browser tools is simpler and already works
**Revisit when:** Hermes's delegation model supports shared state between
subagents, or a mature Multica implementation emerges.
---
## Integration Roadmap
### Phase 1: Browser Use PoC (this PR)
- [x] Create `tools/browser_use_tool.py` wrapping browser-use as Hermes tool
- [x] Create `docs/browser-integration-analysis.md` (this document)
- [ ] Test with real browser tasks
- [ ] Add to toolset configuration
### Phase 2: Browser Use Production (follow-up)
- [ ] Add `browser_use` to `toolsets.py` toolset definitions
- [ ] Add configuration options in `config.yaml`
- [ ] Add tests in `tests/test_browser_use_tool.py`
- [ ] Consider MCP server variant for subagent use
### Phase 3: Graphify Investigation (follow-up)
- [ ] Evaluate specific Graphify implementations
- [ ] Prototype lightweight LLM-based entity extraction tool
- [ ] Assess integration with existing `graph_store.py`
- [ ] Create PoC if investigation is positive
### Phase 4: Multi-Agent Browser (future)
- [ ] Monitor Multica ecosystem maturity
- [ ] Evaluate when delegation model supports shared state
- [ ] Consider simpler parallel delegation patterns first
---
## Appendix: Existing Browser Stack
Hermes already has a comprehensive browser tool stack:
| Component | Description |
|-----------------------|--------------------------------------------------|
| `browser_tool.py` | Low-level agent-controlled browser (navigate, click, type, snapshot) |
| `browser_camofox.py` | Anti-detection browser via Camofox REST API |
| `browser_providers/` | Cloud providers (Browserbase, Browser Use API, Firecrawl) |
| `web_tools.py` | Web search (Parallel) and extraction (Firecrawl) |
| `mcp_tool.py` | MCP client for connecting external tool servers |
The existing stack covers:
- **Local browsing:** Headless Chromium via agent-browser CLI
- **Cloud browsing:** Browserbase, Browser Use cloud, Firecrawl
- **Anti-detection:** Camofox (local) or Browserbase advanced stealth
- **Content extraction:** Firecrawl for clean markdown extraction
- **Search:** Parallel AI web search
New browser integrations should complement rather than replace these tools.

# Matrix Integration Setup Guide
Connect Hermes Agent to any Matrix homeserver for sovereign, encrypted messaging.
## Prerequisites
- Python 3.10+
- matrix-nio SDK: `pip install "matrix-nio[e2e]"`
- For E2EE: libolm C library (see below)
## Option A: matrix.org Public Homeserver (Testing)
Best for quick evaluation. No server to run.
### 1. Create a Matrix Account
Go to https://app.element.io and create an account on matrix.org.
Choose a username like `@hermes-bot:matrix.org`.
### 2. Get an Access Token
The recommended auth method. Token avoids storing passwords and survives
password changes.
```bash
# Using curl (replace user/password):
curl -X POST 'https://matrix-client.matrix.org/_matrix/client/v3/login' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{
"type": "m.login.password",
"user": "your-bot-username",
"password": "your-password"
}'
```
Look for `access_token` and `device_id` in the response.
Alternatively, in Element: Settings -> Help & About -> Advanced -> Access Token.
### 3. Set Environment Variables
Add to `~/.hermes/.env`:
```bash
MATRIX_HOMESERVER=https://matrix-client.matrix.org
MATRIX_ACCESS_TOKEN=syt_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
MATRIX_USER_ID=@hermes-bot:matrix.org
MATRIX_DEVICE_ID=HERMES_BOT
```
### 4. Install Dependencies
```bash
pip install "matrix-nio[e2e]"
```
### 5. Start Hermes Gateway
```bash
hermes gateway
```
## Option B: Self-Hosted Homeserver (Sovereignty)
For full control over your data and encryption keys.
### Popular Homeservers
- **Synapse** (reference impl): https://github.com/element-hq/synapse
- **Conduit** (lightweight, Rust): https://conduit.rs
- **Dendrite** (Go): https://github.com/matrix-org/dendrite
### 1. Deploy Your Homeserver
Follow your chosen server's documentation. Common setup with Docker:
```bash
# Synapse example:
docker run -d --name synapse \
-v /opt/synapse/data:/data \
-e SYNAPSE_SERVER_NAME=your.domain.com \
-e SYNAPSE_REPORT_STATS=no \
matrixdotorg/synapse:latest
```
### 2. Create Bot Account
Register on your homeserver:
```bash
# Synapse: register new user (run inside container)
docker exec -it synapse register_new_matrix_user http://localhost:8008 \
-c /data/homeserver.yaml -u hermes-bot -p 'secure-password' --admin
```
### 3. Configure Hermes
Set in `~/.hermes/.env`:
```bash
MATRIX_HOMESERVER=https://matrix.your.domain.com
MATRIX_ACCESS_TOKEN=<obtain via login API>
MATRIX_USER_ID=@hermes-bot:your.domain.com
MATRIX_DEVICE_ID=HERMES_BOT
```
## Environment Variables Reference
| Variable | Required | Description |
|----------|----------|-------------|
| `MATRIX_HOMESERVER` | Yes | Homeserver URL (e.g. `https://matrix.org`) |
| `MATRIX_ACCESS_TOKEN` | Yes* | Access token (preferred over password) |
| `MATRIX_USER_ID` | With password | Full user ID (`@user:server`) |
| `MATRIX_PASSWORD` | Alt* | Password (alternative to token) |
| `MATRIX_DEVICE_ID` | Recommended | Stable device ID for E2EE persistence |
| `MATRIX_ENCRYPTION` | No | Set `true` to enable E2EE |
| `MATRIX_ALLOWED_USERS` | No | Comma-separated allowed user IDs |
| `MATRIX_HOME_ROOM` | No | Room ID for cron/notifications |
| `MATRIX_REACTIONS` | No | Enable processing reactions (default: true) |
| `MATRIX_REQUIRE_MENTION` | No | Require @mention in rooms (default: true) |
| `MATRIX_FREE_RESPONSE_ROOMS` | No | Room IDs exempt from mention requirement |
| `MATRIX_AUTO_THREAD` | No | Auto-create threads (default: true) |
\* Either `MATRIX_ACCESS_TOKEN` or `MATRIX_USER_ID` + `MATRIX_PASSWORD` is required.
## Config YAML Entries
Add to `~/.hermes/config.yaml` under a `matrix:` key for declarative settings:
```yaml
matrix:
require_mention: true
free_response_rooms:
- "!roomid1:matrix.org"
- "!roomid2:matrix.org"
auto_thread: true
```
These override to env vars only if the env var is not already set.
## End-to-End Encryption (E2EE)
E2EE protects messages so only participants can read them. Hermes uses
matrix-nio's Olm/Megolm implementation.
### 1. Install E2EE Dependencies
```bash
# macOS
brew install libolm
# Ubuntu/Debian
sudo apt install libolm-dev
# Then install matrix-nio with E2EE support:
pip install "matrix-nio[e2e]"
```
### 2. Enable Encryption
Set in `~/.hermes/.env`:
```bash
MATRIX_ENCRYPTION=true
MATRIX_DEVICE_ID=HERMES_BOT
```
### 3. How It Works
- On first connect, Hermes creates a device and uploads encryption keys.
- Keys are stored in `~/.hermes/platforms/matrix/store/`.
- On shutdown, Megolm session keys are exported to `exported_keys.txt`.
- On next startup, keys are imported so the bot can decrypt old messages.
- The `MATRIX_DEVICE_ID` ensures the bot reuses the same device identity
across restarts. Without it, each restart creates a new "device" in
Matrix and old keys become unusable.
### 4. Verifying E2EE
1. Create an encrypted room in Element.
2. Invite your bot user.
3. Send a message — the bot should respond.
4. Check logs: `grep -i "e2ee\|crypto\|encrypt" ~/.hermes/logs/gateway.log`
## Room Configuration
### Inviting the Bot
1. Create a room in Element or any Matrix client.
2. Invite the bot: `/invite @hermes-bot:your.domain.com`
3. The bot auto-accepts invites (controlled by `MATRIX_ALLOWED_USERS`).
### Home Room
Set `MATRIX_HOME_ROOM` to a room ID for cron jobs and notifications:
```bash
MATRIX_HOME_ROOM=!abcde12345:matrix.org
```
### Free-Response Rooms
Rooms where the bot responds to all messages without @mention:
```bash
MATRIX_FREE_RESPONSE_ROOMS=!room1:matrix.org,!room2:matrix.org
```
Or in config.yaml:
```yaml
matrix:
free_response_rooms:
- "!room1:matrix.org"
```
## Troubleshooting
### "Matrix: need MATRIX_ACCESS_TOKEN or MATRIX_USER_ID + MATRIX_PASSWORD"
Neither auth method is configured. Set `MATRIX_ACCESS_TOKEN` in `~/.hermes/.env`
or provide `MATRIX_USER_ID` + `MATRIX_PASSWORD`.
### "Matrix: whoami failed"
The access token is invalid or expired. Generate a new one via the login API.
### "Matrix: E2EE dependencies are missing"
Install libolm and matrix-nio with E2EE support:
```bash
brew install libolm # macOS
pip install "matrix-nio[e2e]"
```
### "Matrix: login failed"
- Check username and password.
- Ensure the account exists on the target homeserver.
- Some homeservers require admin approval for new registrations.
### Bot Not Responding in Rooms
1. Check `MATRIX_REQUIRE_MENTION` — if `true` (default), messages must
@mention the bot.
2. Check `MATRIX_ALLOWED_USERS` — if set, only listed users can interact.
3. Check logs: `tail -f ~/.hermes/logs/gateway.log`
### E2EE Rooms Show "Unable to Decrypt"
1. Ensure `MATRIX_DEVICE_ID` is set to a stable value.
2. Check that `~/.hermes/platforms/matrix/store/` has read/write permissions.
3. Verify libolm is installed: `python -c "from nio.crypto import ENCRYPTION_ENABLED; print(ENCRYPTION_ENABLED)"`
### Slow Message Delivery
Matrix federation can add latency. For faster responses:
- Use the same homeserver for the bot and users.
- Set `MATRIX_HOME_ROOM` to a local room.
- Check network connectivity between Hermes and the homeserver.
## Quick Start (Automated)
Run the interactive setup script:
```bash
python scripts/setup_matrix.py
```
This guides you through homeserver selection, authentication, and verification.

"""
Browser Use Tool Module
Proof-of-concept wrapper around the browser-use Python library for
LLM-driven autonomous browser automation. This complements Hermes's
existing low-level browser_tool.py (navigate/snapshot/click/type) by
providing a high-level "do this task for me" capability.
Where browser_tool.py gives the LLM fine-grained control (each click is
a separate tool call), browser_use_tool.py lets the LLM describe a task
in natural language and have browser-use autonomously execute the steps.
Usage:
from tools.browser_use_tool import browser_use_run, browser_use_extract
# Run an autonomous browser task
result = browser_use_run(
task="Find the top 3 stories on Hacker News and return their titles",
max_steps=15,
)
# Extract structured data from a URL
data = browser_use_extract(
url="https://example.com/pricing",
instruction="Extract all pricing tiers with their names, prices, and features",
)
Integration notes:
- Requires: pip install browser-use
- Optional: BROWSER_USE_API_KEY for cloud mode (no local Playwright needed)
- Falls back to local Playwright Chromium when no API key is set
- Uses the same url_safety and website_policy checks as browser_tool.py
