feat(gateway): refine Platform._missing_ and platform-connected dispatch
Restricts plugin-name acceptance to bundled plugin scan + registry
(no arbitrary string -> enum-pollution), pulls per-platform connectivity
checks into a _PLATFORM_CONNECTED_CHECKERS lambda map with a clean
_is_platform_connected method, and adds tests covering the checker map,
plugin platform interface, and IRC setup wizard.
Closes remaining functional gaps and adds documentation.
webhook.py: Cross-platform delivery now checks the plugin registry
for unknown platform names instead of hardcoding 15 names in a tuple.
Plugin platforms can receive webhook-routed deliveries.
prompt_builder: Platform hints (system prompt LLM guidance) now fall
back to the plugin registry's platform_hint field. Plugin platforms
can tell the LLM 'you're on IRC, no markdown.'
PlatformEntry: Added platform_hint field for LLM guidance injection.
IRC adapter: Added acquire_scoped_lock/release_scoped_lock in
connect/disconnect to prevent two profiles from using the same IRC
identity. Added platform_hint for IRC-specific LLM guidance.
Removed dead token-empty-warning extension for plugin platforms
(plugin adapters handle their own env vars via check_fn).
website/docs/developer-guide/adding-platform-adapters.md:
- Added 'Plugin Path (Recommended)' section with full code examples,
PLUGIN.yaml template, config.yaml examples, and a table showing all
18 integration points the plugin system handles automatically
- Renamed built-in checklist to clarify it's for core contributors
gateway/platforms/ADDING_A_PLATFORM.md:
- Added Plugin Path section pointing to the reference implementation
and full docs guide
- Clarified built-in path is for core contributors only
Extends the platform plugin interface from Phase 1 to cover every
touchpoint where built-in platforms have hardcoded behavior.
- allowed_users_env / allow_all_env: per-platform auth env vars
- max_message_length: smart-chunking for send_message tool
- pii_safe: session PII redaction flag
- emoji: CLI/gateway display
- allow_update_command: /update access control
send_message tool (tools/send_message_tool.py):
- Replaced hardcoded platform_map dict with Platform() call
- Added _send_via_adapter() for plugin platforms — routes through
live gateway adapter when available
- Registry-aware max message length for smart chunking
Cron delivery (cron/scheduler.py):
- Replaced hardcoded 15-entry platform_map with Platform() call
- Plugin platforms now work as cron delivery targets
User authorization (gateway/run.py _is_user_authorized):
- Registry fallback: checks PlatformEntry.allowed_users_env and
allow_all_env when platform not in hardcoded maps
- Plugin platforms get per-platform auth support
_UPDATE_ALLOWED_PLATFORMS: checks registry allow_update_command flag
Channel directory: includes plugin platforms in session enumeration
Orphaned config warning: descriptive message when plugin platform is
in config but no plugin registered it
Gateway weakref: _gateway_runner_ref for cross-module adapter access
hermes status: shows plugin platforms with (plugin) tag
hermes gateway setup: plugin platforms appear in menu with setup hints
hermes_cli/platforms.py: get_all_platforms() merges with registry,
platform_label() falls back to registry for plugin names
- 8 new tests (extended fields, cron resolution, platforms merge)
- Updated 3 tests for new Platform() based resolution
- 2829 passed, 24 pre-existing failures, zero new failures
Adds a platform adapter plugin interface so anyone can create new gateway
platforms (IRC, Viber, Line, etc.) as drop-in plugins without modifying
core gateway code.
- PlatformEntry dataclass: name, label, adapter_factory, check_fn,
validate_config, required_env, install_hint, source
- PlatformRegistry singleton with register/unregister/create_adapter
- _create_adapter() in gateway/run.py checks registry first, falls
through to existing if/elif chain for built-in platforms
- Platform._missing_() accepts unknown string values, creating cached
pseudo-members so Platform('irc') is Platform('irc') holds true
- GatewayConfig.from_dict() now parses plugin platform names from
config.yaml without rejecting them
- get_connected_platforms() delegates to registry for unknown platforms
- PluginContext.register_platform() for plugin authors
- Mirrors the existing register_tool() / register_hook() pattern
- Full async IRC adapter using stdlib asyncio (zero external deps)
- Connects via TLS, handles PING/PONG, nick collision, NickServ auth
- Channel messages require addressing (nick: msg), DMs always dispatch
- Markdown stripping for IRC-clean output, message splitting for
512-byte line limit
- Config via config.yaml extra dict or IRC_* env vars
- Platform enum dynamic members (identity stability, case normalization)
- PlatformRegistry (register, unregister, create, validation, factory)
- GatewayConfig integration (from_dict parsing, get_connected_platforms)
- IRC adapter (init, send, protocol parsing, markdown, requirements)
No existing platform adapters were migrated — the if/elif chain is
untouched. This is Phase 1: prove the interface with a real plugin.
