Broad drift audit against origin/main (b52b63396).
Reference pages (most user-visible drift):
- slash-commands: add /busy, /curator, /footer, /indicator, /redraw, /steer
that were missing; drop non-existent /terminal-setup; fix /q footnote
(resolves to /queue, not /quit); extend CLI-only list with all 24
CLI-only commands in the registry
- cli-commands: add dedicated sections for hermes curator / fallback /
hooks (new subcommands not previously documented); remove stale
hermes honcho standalone section (the plugin registers dynamically
via hermes memory); list curator/fallback/hooks in top-level table;
fix completion to include fish
- toolsets-reference: document the real 52-toolset count; split browser
vs browser-cdp; add discord / discord_admin / spotify / yuanbao;
correct hermes-cli tool count from 36 to 38; fix misleading claim
that hermes-homeassistant adds tools (it's identical to hermes-cli)
- tools-reference: bump tool count 55 -> 68; add 7 Spotify, 5 Yuanbao,
2 Discord toolsets; move browser_cdp/browser_dialog to their own
browser-cdp toolset section
- environment-variables: add 40+ user-facing HERMES_* vars that were
undocumented (--yolo, --accept-hooks, --ignore-*, inference model
override, agent/stream/checkpoint timeouts, OAuth trace, per-platform
batch tuning for Telegram/Discord/Matrix/Feishu/WeCom, cron knobs,
gateway restart/connect timeouts); dedupe the Cron Scheduler section;
replace stale QQ_SANDBOX with QQ_PORTAL_HOST
User-guide (top level):
- cli.md: compression preserves last 20 turns, not 4 (protect_last_n: 20)
- configuration.md: display.platforms is the canonical per-platform
override key; tool_progress_overrides is deprecated and auto-migrated
- profiles.md: model.default is the config key, not model.model
- sessions.md: CLI/TUI session IDs use 6-char hex, gateway uses 8
- checkpoints-and-rollback.md: destructive-command list now matches
_DESTRUCTIVE_PATTERNS (adds rmdir, cp, install, dd)
- docker.md: the container runs as non-root hermes (UID 10000) via
gosu; fix install command (uv pip); add missing --insecure on the
dashboard compose example (required for non-loopback bind)
- security.md: systemctl danger pattern also matches 'restart'
- index.md: built-in tool count 47 -> 68
- integrations/index.md: 6 STT providers, 8 memory providers
- integrations/providers.md: drop fictional dashscope/qwen aliases
Features:
- overview.md: 9 image models (not 8), 9 TTS providers (not 5),
8 memory providers (Supermemory was missing)
- tool-gateway.md: 9 image models
- tools.md: extend common-toolsets list with search / messaging /
spotify / discord / debugging / safe
- fallback-providers.md: add 6 real providers from PROVIDER_REGISTRY
(lmstudio, kimi-coding-cn, stepfun, alibaba-coding-plan,
tencent-tokenhub, azure-foundry)
- plugins.md: Available Hooks table now includes on_session_finalize,
on_session_reset, subagent_stop
- built-in-plugins.md: add the 7 bundled plugins the page didn't
mention (spotify, google_meet, three image_gen providers, two
dashboard examples)
- web-dashboard.md: add --insecure and --tui flags
- cron.md: hermes cron create takes positional schedule/prompt, not
flags
Messaging:
- telegram.md: TELEGRAM_WEBHOOK_SECRET is now REQUIRED when
TELEGRAM_WEBHOOK_URL is set (gateway refuses to start without it
per GHSA-3vpc-7q5r-276h). Biggest user-visible drift in the batch.
- discord.md: HERMES_DISCORD_TEXT_BATCH_SPLIT_DELAY_SECONDS default
is 2.0, not 0.1
- dingtalk.md: document DINGTALK_REQUIRE_MENTION /
FREE_RESPONSE_CHATS / MENTION_PATTERNS / HOME_CHANNEL /
ALLOW_ALL_USERS that the adapter supports
- bluebubbles.md: drop fictional BLUEBUBBLES_SEND_READ_RECEIPTS env
var; the setting lives in platforms.bluebubbles.extra only
- qqbot.md: drop dead QQ_SANDBOX; add real QQ_PORTAL_HOST and
QQ_GROUP_ALLOWED_USERS
- wecom-callback.md: replace 'hermes gateway start' (service-only)
with 'hermes gateway' for first-time setup
Developer-guide:
- architecture.md: refresh tool/toolset counts (61/52), terminal
backend count (7), line counts for run_agent.py (~13.7k), cli.py
(~11.5k), main.py (~10.4k), setup.py (~3.5k), gateway/run.py
(~12.2k), mcp_tool.py (~3.1k); add yuanbao adapter, bump platform
adapter count 18 -> 20
- agent-loop.md: run_agent.py line count 10.7k -> 13.7k
- tools-runtime.md: add vercel_sandbox backend
- adding-tools.md: remove stale 'Discovery import added to
model_tools.py' checklist item (registry auto-discovery)
- adding-platform-adapters.md: mark send_typing / get_chat_info as
concrete base methods; only connect/disconnect/send are abstract
- acp-internals.md: ACP sessions now persist to SessionDB
(~/.hermes/state.db); acp.run_agent call uses
use_unstable_protocol=True
- cron-internals.md: gateway runs scheduler in a dedicated background
thread via _start_cron_ticker, not on a maintenance cycle; locking
is cross-process via fcntl.flock (Unix) / msvcrt.locking (Windows)
- gateway-internals.md: gateway/run.py ~12k lines
- provider-runtime.md: cron DOES support fallback (run_job reads
fallback_providers from config)
- session-storage.md: SCHEMA_VERSION = 11 (not 9); add migrations
10 and 11 (trigram FTS, inline-mode FTS5 re-index); add
api_call_count column to Sessions DDL; document messages_fts_trigram
and state_meta in the architecture tree
- context-compression-and-caching.md: remove the obsolete 'context
pressure warnings' section (warnings were removed for causing
models to give up early)
- context-engine-plugin.md: compress() signature now includes
focus_topic param
- extending-the-cli.md: _build_tui_layout_children signature now
includes model_picker_widget; add to default layout
Also fixed three pre-existing broken links/anchors the build warned
about (docker.md -> api-server.md, yuanbao.md -> cron-jobs.md and
tips#background-tasks, nix-setup.md -> #container-aware-cli).
Regenerated per-skill pages via website/scripts/generate-skill-docs.py
so catalog tables and sidebar are consistent with current SKILL.md
frontmatter.
docusaurus build: clean, no broken links or anchors.
Every working dir hermes ever touches gets its own shadow git repo under
~/.hermes/checkpoints/{sha256(abs_dir)[:16]}/. The per-repo _prune is a
no-op (comment in CheckpointManager._prune says so), so abandoned repos
from deleted/moved projects or one-off tmp dirs pile up forever. Field
reports put the typical offender at 1000+ repos / ~12 GB on active
contributor machines.
Adds an opt-in startup sweep that mirrors the sessions.auto_prune
pattern from #13861 / #16286:
- tools/checkpoint_manager.py: new prune_checkpoints() and
maybe_auto_prune_checkpoints() helpers. Deletes shadow repos that
are orphan (HERMES_WORKDIR marker points to a path that no longer
exists) or stale (newest in-repo mtime older than retention_days).
Idempotent via a CHECKPOINT_BASE/.last_prune marker file so it only
runs once per min_interval_hours regardless of how many hermes
processes start up.
- hermes_cli/config.py: new checkpoints.auto_prune /
retention_days / delete_orphans / min_interval_hours knobs.
Default auto_prune: false so users who rely on /rollback against
long-ago sessions never lose data silently.
- cli.py / gateway/run.py: startup hooks gated on checkpoints.auto_prune,
called right next to the existing state.db maintenance block.
- Docs updated with the new config knobs.
- 11 regression tests: orphan/stale deletion, precedence, byte-freed
tracking, non-shadow dir skip, interval gating, corrupt marker
recovery.
Refs #3015 (session-file disk growth was fixed in #16286; this covers
the checkpoint side noted out-of-scope there).
Major reorganization of the documentation site for better discoverability
and navigation. 94 pages across 8 top-level sections (was 5).
Structural changes:
- Promote Features from 3-level-deep subcategory to top-level section
with new Overview hub page categorizing all 26 feature pages
- Promote Messaging Platforms from User Guide subcategory to top-level
section, add platform comparison matrix (13 platforms x 7 features)
- Create new Integrations section with hub page, grouping MCP, ACP,
API Server, Honcho, Provider Routing, Fallback Providers
- Extract AI provider content (626 lines) from configuration.md into
dedicated integrations/providers.md — configuration.md drops from
1803 to 1178 lines
- Subcategorize Developer Guide into Architecture, Extending, Internals
- Rename "User Guide" to "Using Hermes" for top-level items
Orphan fixes (7 pages now reachable via sidebar):
- build-a-hermes-plugin.md added to Guides
- sms.md added to Messaging Platforms
- context-references.md added to Features > Core
- plugins.md added to Features > Core
- git-worktrees.md added to Using Hermes
- checkpoints-and-rollback.md added to Using Hermes
- checkpoints.md (30-line stub) deleted, superseded by
checkpoints-and-rollback.md (203 lines)
New files:
- integrations/index.md — Integrations hub page
- integrations/providers.md — AI provider setup (extracted)
- user-guide/features/overview.md — Features hub page
Broken link fixes:
- quickstart.md, faq.md: update context-length-detection anchors
- configuration.md: update checkpoints link
- overview.md: fix checkpoint link path
Docusaurus build verified clean (zero broken links/anchors).
- Reflect that checkpoints are now enabled by default
- Document /rollback diff <N> for previewing changes
- Document /rollback <N> <file> for single-file restore
- Document automatic conversation undo on rollback
- Document terminal command checkpoint coverage
- Update listing example to show change stats
- Fix config path (checkpoints.enabled, not agent.checkpoints_enabled)
