`hermes update` iterated only non-active profiles when seeding bundled
skills. `seed_profile_skills()` uses a subprocess with an explicit
HERMES_HOME so it correctly targets any profile path; the `p.name !=
active` filter was the only thing preventing the active profile from
being included, leaving it silently on stale skill content after every
update.
Drop the filter and update the header line from "other profiles" to
"all profiles". The active profile is now seeded on the same path as
every other profile. The earlier `sync_skills()` call (module-level
HERMES_HOME) remains for backward compatibility; the subprocess-based
loop is reliable regardless of which HERMES_HOME the CLI was invoked
with.

hermes doctor showed 'No GITHUB_TOKEN (60 req/hr)' warning even when
users had authenticated via gh auth login. Now falls back to
gh auth status --json authenticated when GITHUB_TOKEN and GH_TOKEN
are both unset.
Fixes#16115
The stale-code self-check (Issue #17648) used sentinel-file mtimes to
decide whether the gateway survived a `hermes update` with stale
`sys.modules`. That signal false-positives on any write to the
sentinel files — including agent-driven edits during Hermes-on-Hermes
dev sessions. Telling the agent to patch `run_agent.py` would flip
the check to True on the next user message and force a gateway
restart even though no update happened.
Switch the signal to `git rev-parse HEAD`. Agent file edits don't
move HEAD; `hermes update` (git pull) always does. Reading .git/HEAD
directly (no subprocess) with a 5s cache keeps the overhead negligible
on bursty chats. Non-git installs short-circuit to False — the
stale-modules class can't occur without a git-backed update path, so
there's nothing to detect.
The legacy `_compute_repo_mtime` helper is kept but unused by
detection, reserved as a fallback hook for future pip-install update
paths.
- _read_git_head_sha(): resolves HEAD across main checkout, worktree
(follows `gitdir:` + `commondir` pointers), and packed-refs layouts.
- _current_git_sha_cached(): per-runner 5s SHA cache.
- _detect_stale_code(): boot SHA vs current SHA, returns False when
either is unavailable.
- Tests cover all four layouts, the agent-edits-don't-trigger
regression, and cache behavior.

* revert: auto-subscribe gateway chat on tool-driven kanban_create (#19718)
Reverts ff3d2773e2. Teknium reviewed the merged PR and decided this
behavior isn't wanted — tool-driven kanban_create should not mirror
the slash-command path's auto-subscribe. Orchestrators that want
their originating chat notified can call kanban_notify-subscribe
explicitly; we're not going to make it implicit.
* feat(kanban-dashboard): per-platform home-channel notification toggles
Adds a "Notify home channels" section to the task drawer in the kanban
dashboard plugin. Each platform where the user has set a home channel
(/sethome, TELEGRAM_HOME_CHANNEL env var, gateway.platforms.<p>.home_channel
in config.yaml) gets a toggle pill. Toggling on writes a kanban_notify_subs
row keyed to that platform's home (chat_id + thread_id); toggling off
removes it. The existing gateway notifier watcher delivers completed /
blocked / gave_up events without any new plumbing — this is purely a GUI
surface over existing machinery.
Replaces the reverted auto-subscribe behavior from #19718 with an explicit,
per-task, per-platform, user-controlled opt-in. No implicit subscription
on tool-driven kanban_create; no CLI commands; no slash commands. Just a
toggle in the drawer.
Backend (plugins/kanban/dashboard/plugin_api.py):
- GET /api/plugins/kanban/home-channels[?task_id=X]
Returns every platform with a configured home, plus a per-entry
subscribed: bool relative to task_id (false when task_id omitted).
Reads the live GatewayConfig via load_gateway_config() so env-var
overlays stay honored.
- POST /api/plugins/kanban/tasks/:id/home-subscribe/:platform
Idempotent add_notify_sub keyed to the platform's home.
- DELETE /api/plugins/kanban/tasks/:id/home-subscribe/:platform
remove_notify_sub for the same tuple.
- 404 when the platform has no home configured, or task_id doesn't
exist (POST only).
Frontend (plugins/kanban/dashboard/dist/index.js):
- TaskDrawer fetches /home-channels on open, keyed on task_id.
- HomeSubsSection renders nothing when zero platforms have a home (so
users who haven't set one up don't see an empty UI block).
- Optimistic toggle with busy flag + revert-on-failure. One pill per
platform; ✓ prefix and --on class indicate the subscribed state.
CSS (plugins/kanban/dashboard/dist/style.css):
- .hermes-kanban-home-subs flex row + .hermes-kanban-home-sub pill
style + --on subscribed variant (subtle ring-colored background).
Live-tested against a dashboard with TELEGRAM + DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN /
HOME_CHANNEL env vars set: drawer shows both pills, toggling each
flips its visual state AND writes/removes the correct kanban_notify_subs
row (verified via direct DB read).
Tests (tests/plugins/test_kanban_dashboard_plugin.py, 11 new, 53/53
pass total):
- home-channels lists only platforms with a home (slack with a
token but no home is excluded)
- no task_id -> all subscribed=false
- subscribe creates notify_sub row with correct chat/thread/platform
- subscribed=true reflected in subsequent GET
- idempotent re-subscribe
- unknown platform -> 404
- unknown task -> 404
- unsubscribe removes the row
- telegram + discord subscribe/unsubscribe independent
- zero homes -> empty list
* feat(cron): add no_agent mode for script-only cron jobs (watchdog pattern)
Adds a no_agent=True option to the cronjob system. When enabled, the
scheduler runs the attached script on schedule and delivers its stdout
directly to the job's target — no LLM, no agent loop, no token spend.
This is the classic bash-watchdog pattern (memory alert every 5 min,
disk alert every 15 min, CI ping) reimplemented as a first-class Hermes
primitive instead of a systemd timer + curl + bot token triplet living
outside the system.
## What
hermes cron create "every 5m" \
--no-agent \
--script memory-watchdog.sh \
--deliver telegram \
--name memory-watchdog
Agent tool:
cronjob(action='create',
schedule='every 5m',
script='memory-watchdog.sh',
no_agent=True,
deliver='telegram')
Semantics:
- Script stdout (trimmed) → delivered verbatim as the message
- Empty stdout → silent tick (no delivery; watchdog pattern)
- wakeAgent=false gate → silent tick (same gate LLM jobs use)
- Non-zero exit/timeout → delivered as an error alert
(broken watchdogs shouldn't fail silently)
- No LLM ever invoked; no tokens spent; no provider fallback applied
## Implementation
cron/jobs.py
* create_job gains no_agent: bool = False
* prompt becomes Optional (no_agent jobs don't need one)
* Validation: no_agent=True requires a script at create time
* Field roundtrips via load_jobs / save_jobs / update_job
cron/scheduler.py
* run_job: new short-circuit branch at the top that runs the script,
wraps its output into the (success, doc, final_response, error)
tuple downstream delivery already expects, and returns before any
AIAgent import or construction
* _run_job_script: picks interpreter by extension — .sh/.bash run
under /bin/bash, anything else under sys.executable (Python).
Shell support unlocks the bash-watchdog pattern without wrapping
scripts in Python. Extension is explicit; we deliberately do NOT
trust the file's own shebang. Path-containment guard (scripts dir)
unchanged.
tools/cronjob_tools.py
* Schema: new no_agent boolean property with clear trigger guidance
* cronjob() accepts no_agent and validates mode-specific shape:
- no_agent=True requires script; prompt/skills optional
- no_agent=False keeps the existing 'prompt or skill required' rule
* update path rejects flipping no_agent=True on a job without a script
* _format_job surfaces no_agent in list output
* Handler lambda forwards no_agent from tool args
hermes_cli/main.py, hermes_cli/cron.py
* 'hermes cron create --no-agent' and edit's --no-agent / --agent
pair for toggling at CLI parity with the agent tool
* Existing --script help text updated to describe both modes
* List / create / edit output now shows 'Mode: no-agent (...)' when set
## Tests
tests/cron/test_cron_no_agent.py — 18 tests covering:
* create_job: no_agent shape, validation, field persistence
* update_job: flag roundtrip across reload
* cronjob tool: schema validation, update toggling, mode-specific
requirements, prompt-relaxation rule
* run_job short-circuit:
- success path delivers stdout verbatim
- empty stdout → SILENT_MARKER (no delivery downstream)
- wakeAgent=false gate → silent
- script failure → error alert
- run_job does NOT import AIAgent (verified via mock)
* _run_job_script:
- .sh executes via bash (no shebang required)
- .bash executes via bash
- .py still runs via sys.executable (regression)
- path-traversal still blocked (security regression)
All 18 new tests pass. 341/342 pre-existing cron tests still pass; the
one failure (test_script_empty_output_noted) was already broken on main
and is unrelated to this change.
## Docs
website/docs/guides/cron-script-only.md — new dedicated guide covering
the watchdog pattern, interpreter rules, delivery mapping, worked
examples (memory / disk alerts), and the comparison table vs hermes send,
regular LLM cron jobs, and OS-level cron.
website/docs/user-guide/features/cron.md — new 'No-agent mode' section
in the cron feature reference, cross-linked to the guide.
website/docs/guides/automate-with-cron.md — new tip box pointing users
to no-agent mode when they don't need LLM reasoning.
## Compatibility
- Existing jobs: unchanged. no_agent defaults to False, existing code
paths untouched until the flag is set.
- Schema additive only; older jobs.json without the field load fine
via .get() with False default.
- New CLI flags are opt-in and don't alter existing flag behavior.
* fix(cron): lazy-import AIAgent + SessionDB so no_agent ticks pay zero
The unconditional `from run_agent import AIAgent` + SessionDB() init at
the top of run_job() meant every no_agent tick still paid the full agent
module load cost (~300ms + transitive imports + DB open) even though it
never touched any of that machinery.
Move both to live under the default (LLM) path, after the no_agent
short-circuit has returned. Now a no_agent tick's sys.modules stays
clean — verified end-to-end:
assert 'run_agent' not in sys.modules # before
run_job(no_agent_job)
assert 'run_agent' not in sys.modules # after
The existing mock-based unit test (test_run_job_no_agent_never_invokes_aiagent)
kept passing because patch() replaces the class AFTER import; the leak
was only visible via real subprocess-style verification. End-to-end
demo confirmed: agent calls cronjob(no_agent=True) → script runs →
stdout delivered → no LLM machinery loaded.
* docs(cron): tighten no_agent tool schema — defaults, silent semantics, pick rule
Previous description buried the important bits in one long sentence.
Agents could plausibly miss three things an LLM-facing schema should
make unmissable:
1. What the default is — now first sentence + JSON Schema `default: false`
2. What 'silent run' actually means for the user — now spelled out:
'nothing is sent to the user and they won't see anything happened'
3. When to pick True vs False — now a concrete decision rule with
examples on both sides (watchdogs/metrics/pollers → True;
summarize/draft/pick/rephrase → False)
Also adds explicit 'prompt and skills are ignored when True' since the
agent could otherwise still pass them out of habit.
No behavior change — schema text only.
Four production-readiness additions to topic mode:
1. /topic off — clean disable path. Flips telegram_dm_topic_mode.enabled
to 0 and clears telegram_dm_topic_bindings for this chat. Previously
users had to edit state.db with sqlite3 to turn the feature off.
Idempotent: calling /topic off when the chat was never enabled
returns a friendly no-op message.
2. /topic help — inline usage printed in the DM so users don't have to
visit docs to discover /topic off, /topic <session-id>, etc.
3. Authorization gate. /topic mutates SQLite side tables and flips the
root DM into a lobby, so the action must be authorized. Now calls
self._is_user_authorized(source); unauthorized DMs get a refusal
instead of activation. Defense in depth on top of the gateway's
existing pre-route auth.
4. BotFather screenshot debounce. A user repeatedly running /topic
while Threads Settings is still disabled would previously re-upload
the same screenshot every time. Now rate-limited to one send per
5 minutes per chat. /topic off resets the counter so re-enabling
starts fresh.
Command-def args hint updated: /topic [off|help|session-id].
Docs:
- New /topic subcommands table at the top of the multi-session section
- Disable instructions updated to recommend /topic off first, with the
raw SQL fallback kept for bulk cleanup
- Under-the-hood list extended with the capability-hint debounce and
the authorization gate
Tests (6 new):
- /topic help returns usage and doesn't create topic tables
- /topic off disables mode AND clears bindings
- /topic off is idempotent when never enabled
- Unauthorized users get refusal, no tables created
- Capability-hint debounce is per-chat
- /topic off resets both lobby and capability debounce counters
All 402 targeted tests pass. Full gateway sweep: 4809/4810
(pre-existing test_teams::test_send_typing unrelated).
Five follow-ups to topic mode based on integration audit:
1. ON DELETE CASCADE on telegram_dm_topic_bindings.session_id. Session
pruning (manual /delete, auto-cleanup, any future prune job) would
have thrown 'FOREIGN KEY constraint failed' for sessions bound to a
topic. Migration bumped to v2, rebuilds the bindings table in place
if FK lacks CASCADE. Idempotent; only runs once per DB.
2. Never auto-rename operator-declared topics. If an operator has
extra.dm_topics configured AND a user runs /topic, messages in those
pre-declared topics would previously trigger auto-rename and silently
mutate operator config. _rename_telegram_topic_for_session_title now
early-returns when _get_dm_topic_info returns a dict for this
(chat_id, thread_id). Uses class-based lookup (not hasattr) so
MagicMock test fixtures don't accidentally trip the guard.
3. General topic handling. Telegram's General (pinned top) topic in a
forum-enabled private chat may send messages with message_thread_id=1
or omit thread_id entirely depending on client. Both are now treated
as the root lobby, not a topic lane. Prevents users from
accidentally burning a session on the General topic.
4. Debounce the root-lobby reminder. 30-second cooldown per chat so a
user who forgets topic mode is enabled and types ten messages in the
root gets one reminder, not ten. Explicit command replies
(/new-in-lobby, /topic <session-id>) still land every time.
5. Docs: added under-the-hood invariants for the above, plus a
Downgrade section explaining that rolling back to a pre-/topic
Hermes build leaves the DB tables orphaned but harmless — DMs just
revert to native per-thread isolation.
Tests:
- test_operator_declared_topic_is_not_auto_renamed
- test_general_topic_is_treated_as_root_lobby
- test_lobby_reminder_is_debounced_per_chat
- test_binding_survives_session_deletion_via_cascade
- test_migration_rebuilds_v1_binding_table_with_cascade_fk
Validated: 4803/4804 tests pass (tests/gateway/ + tests/test_hermes_state.py).
Sole failure is a pre-existing test_teams::test_send_typing flake
unrelated to this PR.
Adds a new section 'Multi-session DM mode (/topic)' to the Telegram
messaging docs, covering:
- Comparison table vs the existing config-driven extra.dm_topics
- BotFather prerequisites (Threads Settings, user-create permission)
- Activation flow and root-DM lobby behavior
- End-user flow for creating topics via the + button / All Messages
- Auto-renaming when Hermes generates session titles
- /new semantics inside a topic
- /topic <session-id> restore of previous sessions
- Persistence layout (SQLite side tables)
- How to disable the feature
Also:
- New /topic row in the messaging slash-commands reference
- Updated Bot API 9.4 summary to point at both topic features
Follow-up on @EmelyanenkoK's feat: add Telegram DM topic-mode sessions.
Three issues:
1. Split-brain session state. After get_or_create_session() returned a
SessionEntry for a topic lane, the handler was mutating
.session_id in place to the binding's target, but never persisting
the switch through SessionStore. The sessions.json session_key →
session_id map kept pointing at the lane's natural id; any reader
that reloaded from disk saw the wrong id. Fixed by routing through
SessionStore.switch_session(), which _save()s the mapping and ends
the old session in SQLite like /resume does.
2. /new inside a topic was a one-message no-op. Reset created a new
session but left the telegram_dm_topic_bindings row pointing at the
old session_id, so the next message's binding lookup switched right
back. Now _handle_reset_command rebinds the topic to the new
session_id after reset.
3. is_telegram_session_linked_to_topic and
list_unlinked_telegram_sessions_for_user both called
apply_telegram_topic_migration() on read, contradicting the PR's
own invariant that migration only runs on explicit /topic opt-in.
They now tolerate missing topic tables and return empty/False.
Also: _telegram_topic_mode_enabled() now only treats True as enabled
(not any truthy return), so test fixtures with MagicMock session_db
don't accidentally flip every DM into lobby mode — this was breaking
4 pre-existing test_status_command tests.
Tests:
- New regression: /new inside a topic must update the binding row
(test_new_inside_telegram_topic_rewrites_binding_to_new_session).
- _make_runner now stubs switch_session so existing restore tests
still exercise the new code path.
Validated end-to-end with real SessionDB + SessionStore:
readers on fresh DB don't create topic tables; enable creates them;
binding override persists across SessionStore restart; /new rebinds
and the new id survives a restart.

Adapted from PR #19188 by @LeonSGP43 — mocks cli_output helpers and
verifies interactive_setup persists credentials to .env without
crashing. Also adds megastary to AUTHOR_MAP.
The Teams adapter's interactive_setup() tried to import prompt,
prompt_yes_no, print_info, print_success, and print_warning from
hermes_cli.config, but those helpers live in hermes_cli.cli_output.
Only get_env_value/save_env_value live in hermes_cli.config.
This caused 'hermes setup' to crash with ImportError as soon as the
user picked Teams in the messaging-platforms wizard.
Split the import accordingly.
Per https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/fast-mode:
"Fast mode is currently supported on Opus 4.6 only. Sending speed: fast
with an unsupported model returns an error."
Pre-fix, _is_anthropic_fast_model() returned True for any claude-* model,
so /fast on Opus 4.7 (or Sonnet/Haiku) would persist agent.service_tier=fast
in config.yaml and the adapter would inject extra_body["speed"] = "fast"
on every subsequent request. Opus 4.7 returns:
HTTP 400: 'claude-opus-4-7' does not support the `speed` parameter.
This wedged sessions across model upgrades (a user who ran /fast on Opus 4.6
and later switched the default model to 4.7 hit a hard 400 on every turn
until they manually edited config.yaml).
Changes:
- _is_anthropic_fast_model: gate on "opus-4-6" / "opus-4.6" only
- anthropic_adapter: add _supports_fast_mode predicate as defensive guard
so stale request_overrides on an unsupported model are dropped silently
instead of 400'ing
- Tests: flip the assertions that mirrored the bug (Sonnet/Haiku/Opus 4.7
asserting fast-mode support) to match the documented API contract
Commit 408dd8aa added a non-string guard for Pass 1 (dedup), but the same
pattern exists in Pass 2 (summarization/pruning) where content.startswith()
and len() are called on potentially non-string tool content.
When a provider returns tool results with non-string content (e.g. dict or
int from llama.cpp or similar), the pruning pass crashes with AttributeError.
Add the same isinstance(content, str) guard to Pass 2 for consistency.
Steers custom tool creation toward the plugin route by default.
The adding-tools.md guide is now explicitly for built-in core Hermes
tools only.
Key fixes:
- Plugin quickstart: ctx.register_tool() now uses correct keyword-arg
API (name=, toolset=, schema=, handler=) instead of broken 3-arg call
- Handler signature: (params, **kwargs) instead of (params)
- Handler return: json.dumps({...}) instead of plain string
- AGENTS.md: mentions plugin route before built-in tool instructions
- learning-path.md: plugins listed before core tool development
- contributing.md: separates plugin vs core tool paths

Clear inherited provider preference filters when delegation.provider is set so delegated children do not route back to the parent provider. Add a regression test for cross-provider delegation with parent OpenRouter filters.
Closes#10653
Closes#16082.
`hermes status` silently omitted four widely-used LLM providers
(Google/Gemini, DeepSeek, xAI/Grok, NVIDIA NIM) from the API Keys
and API-Key Providers sections. Add them, along with tuple-valued
env var support (first found wins) so Google can accept either
GOOGLE_API_KEY or GEMINI_API_KEY.
Also deduplicates the "NVIDIA" and "NVIDIA NIM" rows that were
both pointing at NVIDIA_API_KEY.

When a delegation child session (e.g. source='telegram') contains the
FTS5 hit but _resolve_to_parent() maps it to a different root session
(source='api_server'), the result entry was still reporting the child's
source because the loop discarded session_meta as `_` and fell back to
match_info.get('source'), which carries the child session's value.
Use the resolved parent's session_meta for source, model, and started_at
with match_info as a fallback, so the output accurately reflects the
session the user actually interacted with.

`updates.backup_keep: 0` (or any negative value) wiped the freshly-
created pre-update zip:
_prune_pre_update_backups(backup_dir, keep=0):
backups = sorted(..., reverse=True) # newest first, includes
# the zip we just wrote
for p in backups[0:]: # = all of them
p.unlink()
The wrapper in `main.py` then printed `Saved: <path>` for a file that
no longer existed (the size lookup is wrapped in `try/except OSError`
which silently degrades to "0 B"), leaving operators believing they had
a recovery point when they had none.
This is a real footgun because some config systems treat 0 as "keep
unlimited"; here it does the opposite — every backup is destroyed
right after creation.
Fix: clamp `keep` to a minimum of 1 inside `_prune_pre_update_backups`
since that helper is only invoked immediately after a fresh backup
is written. Operators who genuinely want no backups should set
`updates.pre_update_backup: false` (which gates creation entirely)
rather than relying on `backup_keep: 0`.
Also extends the `backup_keep` config docstring to spell out the floor
and point at `pre_update_backup: false` as the off-switch.
## Tests
Three regression tests added in `TestPreUpdateBackup`:
- `test_keep_zero_does_not_delete_freshly_created_backup` —
asserts the file persists after `keep=0`
- `test_keep_negative_does_not_delete_freshly_created_backup` —
same for negative values
- `test_keep_zero_still_prunes_older_backups` — proves the floor
only protects the new backup; older ones are still rotated out
Verified the new tests fail on origin/main (without the floor) and
pass with it; full `tests/hermes_cli/test_backup.py` suite green
(84 tests).

Gemini's OpenAI-compatibility endpoint strictly requires the `name` field
on `role: tool` messages — it returns HTTP 400 ("Request contains an
invalid argument") when the function name is missing. OpenAI/Anthropic/
ollama tolerate the absence, so the gap stays invisible until the
conversation accumulates a tool turn and the user routes it through Gemini
(direct API or via ollama-cloud proxy).
Fix: add a `_get_tool_call_name_static()` helper alongside the existing
`_get_tool_call_id_static()`, and populate `name` at every site that
constructs a `role: tool` message — the pre-call sanitizer stub, the
tool-call args repair marker, both interrupt-skip paths, both
result-append paths (parallel + sequential), the invalid-tool-name
recovery, the invalid-JSON-args recovery, and the exception fallback.
Each call site was already in scope of the function name (`function_name`,
`skipped_name`, `name`, or a dict tool_call), so the change is local —
no new lookups, no behavior change for providers that already worked.
Fixes#16478
Keep the configured vision provider when base_url is overridden so credential-pool lookup still resolves provider-specific API keys (e.g. ZAI_API_KEY), and add a regression test for this path.
Generic 400 and server-disconnect heuristics used absolute token/message-count fallbacks that are too aggressive for 1M context sessions. Gate those absolute fallbacks to smaller context windows while preserving relative pressure checks.
Fixes#16351
Reverts ff3d2773e2. Teknium reviewed the merged PR and decided this
behavior isn't wanted — tool-driven kanban_create should not mirror
the slash-command path's auto-subscribe. Orchestrators that want
their originating chat notified can call kanban_notify-subscribe
explicitly; we're not going to make it implicit.
Closes#19479.
When an orchestrator agent calls kanban_create from a gateway session
(e.g. a Telegram user delegating to an orchestrator profile), auto-
subscribe the originating (platform, chat, thread, user) to the new
task's terminal events. Mirrors the behavior of the /kanban create
slash command in gateway/run.py so tool-driven creation is at parity
with human-driven creation.
Without this, a user who interacts with an orchestrator exclusively
via the gateway never receives blocked / completed / gave_up
notifications for tasks the orchestrator created on their behalf —
silently breaking the gateway-first multi-agent flow the reporter
describes.
Reads the context-local HERMES_SESSION_* vars via get_session_env()
(not os.environ — those are contextvars for asyncio concurrency
safety). Falls through cleanly in CLI / cron contexts with no
session active (subscribed=False in the response). Best-effort: if
the gateway module isn't importable (test rigs stubbing gateway.*),
the task still creates, we just skip the subscription.
Response gains a 'subscribed' bool so the orchestrator knows whether
terminal events will land back in the originating chat or whether it
needs to poll / unblock manually.
Tests: 4 new in tests/tools/test_kanban_tools.py covering
CLI/no-subscribe, telegram/gateway-auto-subscribe, discord-DM/no-
thread subscribe, and partial-ctx/no-chat_id no-subscribe. 40/40
kanban tool tests pass.
Open-weight models (DeepSeek, Qwen, GLM) sometimes emit tool calls like
`{"urls": "https://a.com"}` when the tool schema declares
`type: array`. The call was JSON-valid but semantically wrong, and
`coerce_tool_args` would pass the bare string through — the tool then
failed with a confusing type error.
`coerce_tool_args` now wraps non-list, non-null values in a
single-element list when the schema declares `array`. Strings still go
through `_coerce_value` first so JSON-encoded arrays
(`'["a","b"]'`) parse correctly and nullable `"null"` still
becomes `None`. `None` itself is preserved — tools with sensible
defaults already handle it, and we don't want to silently mask a
deliberate null.
Salvaged from #19652 (NikolayGusev-astra) — the broader validate-then-
repair layer had several issues (duplicated existing coercion,
mis-classified `old_string` as a path field, prepended non-JSON
prefixes to tool results that break downstream JSON parsing, hardcoded
offset/limit defaults unsuitable for non-read_file tools). The one
genuinely new capability is wrapping bare scalars, which is implemented
here directly inside the existing coercion path.

ENV-assignment and JSON-field regex patterns in redact_sensitive_text()
cause false positives when reading source code files:
- MAX_TOKENS=*** triggers the ENV assignment pattern
- "apiKey": "test" in test fixtures triggers the JSON field pattern
Add code_file=False parameter. When code_file=True, skip only the
ENV-assignment and JSON-field regex passes; all other patterns (prefixes,
auth headers, private keys, DB connstrings, JWTs, URL secrets) are
still applied.
Update file_tools.py (read_file and search_files) to pass code_file=True
so agent code analysis is not polluted by false-positive redactions.
Closes#15934
Mirrors the Codex auto-import UX. On successful Nous login (either
`hermes auth add nous --type oauth` or `hermes login nous`), tokens are
mirrored to `$HERMES_SHARED_AUTH_DIR/nous_auth.json` (default
`~/.hermes/shared/nous_auth.json`, outside any named profile's
HERMES_HOME). On next login in a new profile, the flow offers to import
those credentials ("Import these credentials? [Y/n]") and rehydrates via
a forced refresh+mint instead of running the full device-code flow.
Runtime refresh in any profile syncs the rotated refresh_token back to
the shared store so sibling profiles don't hit stale-token fallback
after rotation.
The volatile 24h agent_key is NOT persisted to the shared store —
only the long-lived OAuth tokens are cross-profile useful.
- `HERMES_SHARED_AUTH_DIR` env var for tests + custom layouts
- Pytest seat belt mirrors the existing `_auth_file_path` guard so
forgetting to redirect the store in a test fails loudly
- File mode 0600 where platform supports it
- Runtime credential resolution is unchanged — shared store is only
consulted during the login flow, so profile isolation at runtime is
preserved
- Stale refresh_token + portal-down cases gracefully fall back to
device-code
Addresses a user report from Mike Nguyen: running
`hermes --profile <name> auth add nous --type oauth` for every new
profile is unnecessary friction now that Codex has a shared-import
flow via `~/.codex/auth.json`.
Broadens the existing fallback (previously only fired for
Photo_invalid_dimensions) to cover every send_photo exception class:
rate limits, corrupt file markers, format edge cases. The expected
dimension case still logs at INFO (document is the right path); all
other cases log at WARNING with exc_info so they're visible in logs.
If send_document itself fails, we still fall back to the base adapter's
text-only 'Image: /path' rendering as a last resort.
Salvage of #15837 — original PR author QifengKuang proposed the broader
try/except-style fallback. Adapted to keep the existing INFO-vs-WARNING
log split for dimension errors (the expected case).

Closes#19534 (security).
A worker spawned by the kanban dispatcher has HERMES_KANBAN_TASK set
to its own task id. The destructive tools (kanban_complete,
kanban_block, kanban_heartbeat) resolved task_id via
_default_task_id() which preferred an explicit arg over the env var,
with no ownership check — so a buggy or prompt-injected worker could
complete / block / heartbeat any OTHER task (sibling, cross-tenant,
anything) by supplying its id. Reporter's repro: worker for t_A
passed task_id=t_B to kanban_complete and got {"ok": true}.
Fix: add _enforce_worker_task_ownership(tid). If HERMES_KANBAN_TASK
is set and tid doesn't match, return a structured tool error with
guidance to use kanban_comment (for information handoff across tasks)
or kanban_create (for follow-up work). Orchestrator profiles (no env
var, but kanban toolset enabled per #18968) are exempt — their job
is routing and sometimes includes closing out child tasks.
Kept unrestricted (deliberately):
- kanban_show — workers legitimately read parent/sibling handoff context
- kanban_comment — cross-task comments are the handoff mechanism
- kanban_create — orchestrator fan-out, worker follow-up spawning
- kanban_link — parent/child linking
Tests: 5 new regression tests in tests/tools/test_kanban_tools.py
covering the grid (worker-attacks-foreign ×3 tools, worker-own-task
preserved, orchestrator-unrestricted). 36/36 pass.
The background memory/skill review fork had two user-visible issues:
1. max_iterations=8 was too tight for multi-step reviews. A review that
needs to skill_view one or two candidate skills, add a memory entry,
and patch a skill routinely blew the budget — surfacing an 'Iteration
budget exhausted (8/8)' warning to the user and leaving the review
half-finished.
2. Mid-review lifecycle messages leaked into the user's terminal past the
existing quiet_mode + redirect_stdout/stderr guards. _emit_status and
_emit_warning route through _vprint(force=True) -> _print_fn /
status_callback, which bypass sys.stdout entirely. The stdout redirect
only catches raw print() calls.
Changes:
- Bump the review fork's max_iterations from 8 to 16.
- Set review_agent.suppress_status_output = True on the fork. This
short-circuits _vprint unconditionally so _emit_status/_emit_warning
emissions (iteration-budget warnings, rate-limit retries, compression
messages) never reach the user. The only user-visible output remains
the compact final summary line ('💾 Self-improvement review: ...')
which is printed via self._safe_print on the *main* agent (outside
the fork's redirect/suppress scope).
Summarizer filter is already correct — _summarize_background_review_actions
only surfaces tool calls with data.get('success') is truthy, so failed
attempts and reasoning text never reach the summary line.
