"""Context engine plugin discovery.
Scans ``plugins/context_engine/<name>/`` directories for context engine
plugins. Each subdirectory must contain ``__init__.py`` with a class
implementing the ContextEngine ABC.
Context engines are separate from the general plugin system they live
in the repo and are always available without user installation. Only ONE
can be active at a time, selected via ``context.engine`` in config.yaml.
The default engine is ``"compressor"`` (the built-in ContextCompressor).
Usage:
from plugins.context_engine import discover_context_engines, load_context_engine
available = discover_context_engines() # [(name, desc, available), ...]
engine = load_context_engine("lcm") # ContextEngine instance

feat(cross-platform): psutil for PID/process management + Windows footgun checker ## Why Hermes supports Linux, macOS, and native Windows, but the codebase grew up POSIX-first and has accumulated patterns that silently break (or worse, silently kill!) on Windows: - `os.kill(pid, 0)` as a liveness probe — on Windows this maps to CTRL_C_EVENT and broadcasts Ctrl+C to the target's entire console process group (bpo-14484, open since 2012). - `os.killpg` — doesn't exist on Windows at all (AttributeError). - `os.setsid` / `os.getuid` / `os.geteuid` — same. - `signal.SIGKILL` / `signal.SIGHUP` / `signal.SIGUSR1` — module-attr errors at runtime on Windows. - `open(path)` / `open(path, "r")` without explicit encoding= — inherits the platform default, which is cp1252/mbcs on Windows (UTF-8 on POSIX), causing mojibake round-tripping between hosts. - `wmic` — removed from Windows 10 21H1+. This commit does three things: 1. Makes `psutil` a core dependency and migrates critical callsites to it. 2. Adds a grep-based CI gate (`scripts/check-windows-footguns.py`) that blocks new instances of any of the above patterns. 3. Fixes every existing instance in the codebase so the baseline is clean. ## What changed ### 1. psutil as a core dependency (pyproject.toml) Added `psutil>=5.9.0,<8` to core deps. psutil is the canonical cross-platform answer for "is this PID alive" and "kill this process tree" — its `pid_exists()` uses `OpenProcess + GetExitCodeProcess` on Windows (NOT a signal call), and its `Process.children(recursive=True)` + `.kill()` combo replaces `os.killpg()` portably. ### 2. `gateway/status.py::_pid_exists` Rewrote to call `psutil.pid_exists()` first, falling back to the hand-rolled ctypes `OpenProcess + WaitForSingleObject` dance on Windows (and `os.kill(pid, 0)` on POSIX) only if psutil is somehow missing — e.g. during the scaffold phase of a fresh install before pip finishes. ### 3. `os.killpg` migration to psutil (7 callsites, 5 files) - `tools/code_execution_tool.py` - `tools/process_registry.py` - `tools/tts_tool.py` - `tools/environments/local.py` (3 sites kept as-is, suppressed with `# windows-footgun: ok` — the pgid semantics psutil can't replicate, and the calls are already Windows-guarded at the outer branch) - `gateway/platforms/whatsapp.py` ### 4. `scripts/check-windows-footguns.py` (NEW, 500 lines) Grep-based checker with 11 rules covering every Windows cross-platform footgun we've hit so far: 1. `os.kill(pid, 0)` — the silent killer 2. `os.setsid` without guard 3. `os.killpg` (recommends psutil) 4. `os.getuid` / `os.geteuid` / `os.getgid` 5. `os.fork` 6. `signal.SIGKILL` 7. `signal.SIGHUP/SIGUSR1/SIGUSR2/SIGALRM/SIGCHLD/SIGPIPE/SIGQUIT` 8. `subprocess` shebang script invocation 9. `wmic` without `shutil.which` guard 10. Hardcoded `~/Desktop` (OneDrive trap) 11. `asyncio.add_signal_handler` without try/except 12. `open()` without `encoding=` on text mode Features: - Triple-quoted-docstring aware (won't flag prose inside docstrings) - Trailing-comment aware (won't flag mentions in `# os.kill(pid, 0)` comments) - Guard-hint aware (skips lines with `hasattr(os, ...)`, `shutil.which(...)`, `if platform.system() != 'Windows'`, etc.) - Inline suppression with `# windows-footgun: ok — <reason>` - `--list` to print all rules with fixes - `--all` / `--diff <ref>` / staged-files (default) modes - Scans 380 files in under 2 seconds ### 5. CI integration A GitHub Actions workflow that runs the checker on every PR and push is staged at `/tmp/hermes-stash/windows-footguns.yml` — not included in this commit because the GH token on the push machine lacks `workflow` scope. A maintainer with `workflow` permissions should add it as `.github/workflows/windows-footguns.yml` in a follow-up. Content: ```yaml name: Windows footgun check on: push: branches: [main] pull_request: branches: [main] jobs: check: runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - uses: actions/checkout@v4 - uses: actions/setup-python@v5 with: {python-version: "3.11"} - run: python scripts/check-windows-footguns.py --all ``` ### 6. CONTRIBUTING.md — "Cross-Platform Compatibility" expansion Expanded from 5 to 16 rules, each with message, example, and fix. Recommends psutil as the preferred API for PID / process-tree operations. ### 7. Baseline cleanup (91 → 0 findings) - 14 `open()` sites → added `encoding='utf-8'` (internal logs/caches) or `encoding='utf-8-sig'` (user-editable files that Notepad may BOM) - 23 POSIX-only callsites in systemd helpers, pty_bridge, and plugin tool subprocess management → annotated with `# windows-footgun: ok — <reason>` - 7 `os.killpg` sites → migrated to psutil (see §3 above) ## Verification ``` $ python scripts/check-windows-footguns.py --all ✓ No Windows footguns found (380 file(s) scanned). $ python -c "from gateway.status import _pid_exists; import os > print('self:', _pid_exists(os.getpid())); print('bogus:', _pid_exists(999999))" self: True bogus: False ``` Proof-of-repro that `os.kill(pid, 0)` was actually killing processes before this fix — see commit `1cbe39914` and bpo-14484. This commit removes the last hand-rolled ctypes path from the hot liveness-check path and defers to the best-maintained cross-platform answer.

feat(context-engine): host contract for external context engines Condenses the substance of PRs #16453, #17453, #16451, #17600, and #13373 into a minimal generic host contract that external context engine plugins (e.g. hermes-lcm) need to integrate cleanly. Drops scaffolding that duplicated existing infrastructure or had marginal value.

Engines implement only the hooks they need; missing hooks are skipped. Built-in compressor keeps its existing reset-only behavior because callers default to no metadata. `reset_session_state()` now optionally accepts previous_messages / old_session_id / carry_over_context and delegates to the transition helper when provided. (#16453) 2. `conversation_id` passed to `on_session_start()` — both the agent-init call site and the compression-boundary call site now forward `self._gateway_session_key` so plugin engines have a stable conversation identity that survives session_id rotation (compression splits, /new, resume). The key already existed on AIAgent; it just wasn't reaching engines. (#16453) 3. Canonical cache buckets forwarded to engines — the usage dict passed to `update_from_response()` now includes input_tokens, output_tokens, cache_read_tokens, cache_write_tokens, and reasoning_tokens on top of the legacy prompt/completion/total keys. Engines can make decisions on cache-hit ratios and reasoning costs instead of only aggregates. ABC docstring updated. (#17453) 4. Plugin-registered context engines visible in the picker — `_discover_context_engines()` in plugins_cmd.py now also includes engines registered via `ctx.register_context_engine()` from plugin manifests, deduplicating by name so repo-shipped descriptions win on collision. (#16451) 5. `_EngineCollector.register_command()` — context engines using the standard `register(ctx)` pattern can now expose slash commands (e.g. `/lcm`). Routes to the global plugin command registry with the same conflict-rejection policy regular plugins use (no shadowing built-ins, no clobbering other plugins).

Net: ~215 LOC of host-contract changes + 282 LOC of focused tests, vs ~1,176 LOC across the original 5 PRs. Co-authored-by: Tosko4 <1294707+Tosko4@users.noreply.github.com> Closes #16453. Closes #17453. Closes #16451. Closes #17600. Closes #13373. Related: stephenschoettler/hermes-lcm#68.
