Every command in COMMAND_REGISTRY (/btw, /stop, /model, /help, /new,
/bg, /reset, ...) is now a first-class Slack slash command instead of
a /hermes <subcommand>. Users get the same autocomplete-driven slash
picker experience Slack users expect and that Discord and Telegram
already provide.
Previously Slack registered ONE native slash (/hermes) and split on
the first word, so typing /btw in Slack's composer got 'couldn't find
an app for /btw' because the workspace manifest never declared it.
Changes
- hermes_cli/commands.py: slack_native_slashes() + slack_app_manifest()
generate a Slack manifest from the registry (canonical names +
aliases + plugin commands), clamped to Slack's 50-slash cap with
/hermes reserved as the catch-all.
- gateway/platforms/slack.py: single regex matcher dispatches every
registered slash to _handle_slash_command, which dispatches on
command['command']. Legacy /hermes <subcommand> keeps working for
backward compat with older workspace manifests.
- hermes_cli/slack_cli.py + hermes_cli/main.py: new 'hermes slack
manifest' command prints/writes a full manifest (display info,
OAuth scopes, event subs, socket mode, slash commands) ready to
paste into 'Create from manifest' or Features → App Manifest.
- hermes_cli/setup.py: _setup_slack() now writes the manifest up-front
and points users at the 'From an app manifest' flow; also offers
to refresh the manifest on reconfigure for picking up new commands.
- Tests: 14 new tests covering native-slash dispatch (/btw, /stop,
/model), legacy /hermes <sub> compat, manifest structure, and
telegram<->slack parity (every Telegram command must also register
as a Slack slash). Existing /hermes-registration test updated to
assert the new regex matches /hermes, /btw, /stop, /model, /help.
- Docs: slack.md gains a 'Slash Commands' section + Option A manifest
flow in Step 1; cli-commands.md documents 'hermes slack manifest'.
Users pick up the new slashes by running 'hermes slack manifest --write'
and pasting into Features → App Manifest → Edit in their Slack app
config, then Save (Slack prompts for reinstall if scopes changed).
'hermes skills list' now shows every skill's enabled/disabled status
and accepts --enabled-only to filter down to what will actually load
for the active profile:
hermes -p dario skills list --enabled-only
Previously the command was a flat catalog — it did not apply
skills.disabled from config.yaml, so there was no way to see the
live skill set for a profile without reading config by hand.
Profile switching already works via -p (swaps HERMES_HOME); this
just surfaces the result visibly.
Changes:
- hermes_cli/skills_hub.py: do_list adds a Status column and an
enabled_only filter; summary reports enabled/disabled split
- hermes_cli/main.py: --enabled-only flag on 'skills list'
- /skills list slash command accepts --enabled-only too
- tests: 4 new (status column, disabled marking, enabled-only
hiding, no platform leakage into get_disabled_skill_names);
existing fixtures updated to accept skip_disabled kwarg

New `hermes kanban` CLI subcommand + `/kanban` slash command + skills for
worker and orchestrator profiles. SQLite-backed task board
(~/.hermes/kanban.db) shared across all profiles on the host. Zero
changes to run_agent.py, no new core tools, no tool-schema bloat.
Motivation: delegate_task is a function call — sync fork/join, anonymous
subagent, no resumability, no human-in-the-loop. Kanban is the durable
shape needed for research triage, scheduled ops, digital twins,
engineering pipelines, and fleet work. They coexist (workers may call
delegate_task internally).
What this adds
- hermes_cli/kanban_db.py — schema, CAS claim, dependency resolution,
dispatcher, workspace resolution, worker-context builder.
- hermes_cli/kanban.py — 15-verb CLI surface and shared run_slash()
entry point used by both CLI and gateway.
- skills/devops/kanban-worker — how a profile should work a claimed task.
- skills/devops/kanban-orchestrator — "you are a dispatcher, not a
worker" template with anti-temptation rules.
- /kanban slash command wired into cli.py and gateway/run.py. Bypasses
the running-agent guard (board writes don't touch agent state), so
/kanban unblock can free a stuck worker mid-conversation.
- Design spec at docs/hermes-kanban-v1-spec.pdf — comparative analysis
vs Cline Kanban, Paperclip, NanoClaw, Gemini Enterprise; 8 patterns;
4 user stories; implementation plan; concurrency correctness.
- Docs: website/docs/user-guide/features/kanban.md, CLI reference
updated, sidebar entry added.
Architecture highlights
- Three planes: control (user + gateway), state (board + dispatcher),
execution (pool of profile processes).
- Every worker is a full OS process, spawned as `hermes -p <profile>`.
No in-process subagent swarms — solves NanoClaw's SDK-lifecycle
failure class.
- Atomic claim via SQLite CAS in a BEGIN IMMEDIATE transaction; stale
claims reclaimed 15 min after their TTL expires.
- Tenant namespacing via one nullable column — one specialist fleet
can serve many businesses with data isolation by workspace path.
Tests: 60 targeted tests (schema, CAS atomicity, dependency resolution,
dispatcher, workspace kinds, tenancy, CLI + slash surface). All pass
hermetic via scripts/run_tests.sh.
Manage the fallback_providers chain from the CLI instead of hand-editing
config.yaml. The picker reuses select_provider_and_model() from 'hermes
model' — same provider list, same credential prompts, same model picker.
hermes fallback [list] Show the current chain (primary + fallbacks)
hermes fallback add Run the model picker, append selection to chain
hermes fallback remove Pick an entry to delete (arrow-key menu)
hermes fallback clear Remove all entries (with confirmation)
'add' snapshots config['model'] before calling the picker, extracts the
user's selection from the post-picker state, then restores the primary
and appends {provider, model, base_url?, api_mode?} to fallback_providers.
Auth store's active_provider is snapshot/restored too so OAuth-provider
fallbacks don't silently deactivate the user's primary. Duplicates and
self-as-fallback are rejected. Legacy single-dict 'fallback_model' entries
are auto-migrated to the list format on first write.
OpenRouter and Nous Portal curated picker lists now resolve via a JSON
manifest served by the docs site, falling back to the in-repo snapshot
when unreachable. Lets us update model lists without shipping a release.
Live URL: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/api/model-catalog.json
(source at website/static/api/model-catalog.json; auto-deploys via the
existing deploy-site.yml GitHub Pages pipeline on every merge to main).
Schema (v1) carries id + optional description + free-form metadata at
manifest, provider, and model levels. Pricing and context length stay
live-fetched via existing machinery (/v1/models endpoints, models.dev).
Config (new model_catalog section, default enabled):
model_catalog.url master manifest URL
model_catalog.ttl_hours disk cache TTL (default 24h)
model_catalog.providers.<name>.url optional per-provider override
Fetch pipeline: in-process cache -> disk cache (fresh < TTL) -> HTTP
fetch -> disk-cache-on-failure fallback -> in-repo snapshot as last
resort. Never raises to callers; at worst returns the bundled list.
Changes:
- website/static/api/model-catalog.json initial manifest (35 OR + 31 Nous)
- scripts/build_model_catalog.py regenerator from in-repo lists
- hermes_cli/model_catalog.py fetch + validate + cache module
- hermes_cli/models.py fetch_openrouter_models() +
new get_curated_nous_model_ids()
- hermes_cli/main.py, hermes_cli/auth.py Nous flows use the helper
- hermes_cli/config.py model_catalog defaults
- website/docs/reference/model-catalog.md + sidebars.ts
- tests/hermes_cli/test_model_catalog.py 21 tests (validation, fetch
success/failure, accessors,
disabled, overrides, integration)
`_apply_model_switch_result` (the interactive `/model` picker's
confirmation path) printed `ModelInfo.context_window` straight from
models.dev, which reports the vendor-wide value (1.05M for gpt-5.5 on
openai). ChatGPT Codex OAuth caps the same slug at 272K, so the picker
showed 1M while the runtime (compressor, gateway `/model`, typed
`/model <name>`) correctly used 272K — the classic 'sometimes 1M,
sometimes 272K' mismatch on a single model.
Both display paths now go through `resolve_display_context_length()`,
matching the fix that `_handle_model_switch` received earlier.
Also bump the stale last-resort fallback in DEFAULT_CONTEXT_LENGTHS
(`gpt-5.5: 400000 -> 1050000`) to match the real OpenAI API value; the
272K Codex cap is already enforced via the Codex-OAuth branch, so the
fallback now reflects what every non-Codex probe-miss should see.
Tests: adds `test_apply_model_switch_result_context.py` with three
scenarios (Codex cap wins, OpenRouter shows 1.05M, resolver-empty falls
back to ModelInfo). Updates the existing non-Codex fallback test to
assert 1.05M (the correct value).
## Validation
| path | before | after |
|-------------------------------|-----------|-----------|
| picker -> gpt-5.5 on Codex | 1,050,000 | 272,000 |
| picker -> gpt-5.5 on OpenAI | 1,050,000 | 1,050,000 |
| picker -> gpt-5.5 on OpenRouter | 1,050,000 | 1,050,000 |
| typed /model gpt-5.5 on Codex | 272,000 | 272,000 |
Bare `hermes setup` on a returning user now drops straight into the
full reconfigure wizard — every prompt shows the current value as its
default, press Enter to keep or type a new value to change it. The
returning-user menu is gone.
Behavior:
- First-time user: first-time wizard (unchanged)
- Returning user, bare command: full reconfigure wizard (new default)
- Returning user, `--quick`: only prompt for missing/unset items
- Returning user, one section: `hermes setup model|terminal|gateway|tools|agent`
- `--reconfigure`: preserved as backwards-compat alias (no-op since it's now default)
The section functions already used current values as prompt defaults —
this change just removes the extra click to get to them.
The 'Quick Setup - configure missing items only' menu option is now
exposed as the explicit `--quick` flag; it's the narrow case of
filling in missing config (e.g. after a partial OpenClaw migration or
when a required API key got cleared).
Inspired by Mercury Agent's `mercury doctor` UX.
Also removes:
- RETURNING_USER_MENU_SECTION_KEYS (orphaned constant)
- Two returning-user menu tests in test_setup_noninteractive.py
(guarding behavior that no longer exists — covered by
test_setup_reconfigure.py instead)
The azure-foundry wizard now probes the endpoint before asking the user
to pick anything by hand:
1. URL path sniff — endpoints ending in /anthropic are Azure Foundry
Claude routes and skip to anthropic_messages.
2. GET <base>/models probe — if the endpoint returns an OpenAI-shaped
model list, we switch to chat_completions and prefill the picker
with the returned deployment/model IDs.
3. Anthropic Messages probe — fallback for endpoints that don't expose
/models but do speak the Anthropic Messages shape.
4. Manual fallback — private endpoints / custom routes still work;
the user picks API mode + types a deployment name.
Context length for the selected model is resolved through the existing
agent.model_metadata.get_model_context_length chain (models.dev,
provider metadata, hardcoded family fallbacks) and stored in
model.context_length when a non-default value is found.
Also refactors runtime_provider so Azure Foundry resolution is reused
between the explicit-credentials path and the default top-level path —
previously the /v1 strip for Anthropic-style Azure only ran when the
caller passed explicit_* args, which meant config-driven sessions
hit a double-/v1 URL.
New module hermes_cli/azure_detect.py with 19 unit tests covering:
- path sniff, model ID extraction, probe fallbacks
- HTTP error handling (URLError, HTTPError)
- context-length lookup passthrough
- DEFAULT_FALLBACK_CONTEXT rejection
New runtime tests cover:
- OpenAI-style Azure Foundry
- Anthropic-style Azure Foundry with /v1 stripping
- Missing base_url / API key raising AuthError
Rationale: Microsoft confirms there's no pure-API-key endpoint to list
Azure deployments (that requires ARM management auth). The v1 Azure
OpenAI endpoint does expose /models with the resource's available
model catalog, which is good enough for picker prefill in the common
case. Users on private/gated endpoints fall through to manual entry.
Fixes#15779. Custom-provider per-model context_length (`custom_providers[].models.<id>.context_length`) is now honored across every resolution path, not just agent startup. Also adds 256K as the top probe tier and default fallback.
## What changed
New helper `hermes_cli.config.get_custom_provider_context_length()` — single source of truth for the per-model override lookup, with trailing-slash-insensitive base-url matching.
`agent.model_metadata.get_model_context_length()` gains an optional `custom_providers=` kwarg (step 0b — runs after explicit `config_context_length` but before every other probe).
Wired through five call sites that previously either duplicated the lookup or ignored it entirely:
- `run_agent.py` startup — refactored to use the new helper (dedups legacy inline loop, keeps invalid-value warning)
- `AIAgent.switch_model()` — re-reads custom_providers from live config on every /model switch
- `hermes_cli.model_switch.resolve_display_context_length()` — new `custom_providers=` kwarg
- `gateway/run.py` /model confirmation (picker callback + text path)
- `gateway/run.py` `_format_session_info` (/info)
## Context probe tiers
`CONTEXT_PROBE_TIERS = [256_000, 128_000, 64_000, 32_000, 16_000, 8_000]` — was `[128_000, ...]`. `DEFAULT_FALLBACK_CONTEXT` follows tier[0], so unknown models now default to 256K. The stale `128000` literal in the OpenRouter metadata-miss path is replaced with `DEFAULT_FALLBACK_CONTEXT` for consistency.
## Repro (from #15779)
```yaml
custom_providers:
- name: my-custom-endpoint
base_url: https://example.invalid/v1
model: gpt-5.5
models:
gpt-5.5:
context_length: 1050000
```
`/model gpt-5.5 --provider custom:my-custom-endpoint` → previously "Context: 128,000", now "Context: 1,050,000".
## Tests
- `tests/hermes_cli/test_custom_provider_context_length.py` — new file, 19 tests covering the helper, step-0b integration, and the 256K tier invariants
- `tests/hermes_cli/test_model_switch_context_display.py` — added regression tests for #15779 through the display resolver
- `tests/gateway/test_session_info.py` — updated default-fallback assertion (128K → 256K)
- `tests/agent/test_model_metadata.py` — updated tier assertions for the new top tier
When the user interrupts a long-running task, prompt_toolkit tries to
flush stdout during emergency shutdown. If stdout is in a broken state
(redirected to /dev/null, pipe closed, terminal gone), the flush raises
`OSError: [Errno 5] Input/output error` which propagates unhandled and
crashes the CLI.
Two defense layers:
1. `_suppress_closed_loop_errors`: add `OSError` with `errno.EIO` to
the asyncio exception handler, matching the existing pattern for
`RuntimeError("Event loop is closed")` and `KeyError("is not
registered")`.
2. Outer `except (KeyError, OSError)` block: add `errno.EIO` check
before the existing string-match guards, silently suppressing the
error instead of printing a misleading stdin-related message.
Fixes#13710.
The raw-template lookup added in PR #15817 went through
`get_compatible_custom_providers(read_raw_config())`, which calls
`_normalize_custom_provider_entry` → `urlparse(base_url)`. Any
entry whose `base_url` is itself an env-ref (`${NEURALWATT_API_BASE}`)
was dropped as 'not a valid URL', so `api_key_ref` stayed empty and the
resolved secret was still written to `model.api_key` — the exact case
the original Discord report described.
Replace the normalizer-gated lookup with a direct read of
`raw['custom_providers']` and `raw['providers']`, indexed by name
(case-insensitive, optionally qualified by model) so the loaded
(expanded) entry can be matched regardless of how `base_url` is
written.
Add an integration regression test driving the real
`select_provider_and_model` entry point with the Discord-reported
NeuralWatt config (`${VAR}` in both `base_url` and `api_key`).
This test fails on the PR-only fix and passes with the broadened
lookup.
- expand short model aliases like sonnet/opus via static catalogs during startup runtime resolution
- keep startup alias resolution network-free and add regression tests in models and tui gateway suites
* fix(terminal): three-layer defense against watch_patterns notification spam
Background processes that stack notify_on_complete=True with watch_patterns
can flood the user with duplicate, delayed notifications — matches deliver
asynchronously via the completion queue and continue arriving minutes after
the process has exited. The docstring warning against this (PR #12113) has
proven insufficient; agents still misuse the combination.
Three layered defenses, each sufficient on its own:
1. Mutual exclusion (terminal_tool.py): When both flags are set on a
background process, drop watch_patterns with a warning. notify_on_complete
wins because 'let me know when it's done' is the more useful signal and
fires exactly once. Extracted as _resolve_notification_flag_conflict() so
the rule is testable in isolation.
2. Suppress-after-exit (process_registry.py): _check_watch_patterns() now
bails the moment session.exited is True. Post-exit chunks (buffered reads
draining after the process is gone) no longer produce notifications. This
is the fix flagged as future work in session 20260418_020302_79881c.
3. Global circuit breaker (process_registry.py): Per-session rate limits don't
catch the sibling-flood case — N concurrent processes can each stay under
8/10s and still collectively spam. New WATCH_GLOBAL_MAX_PER_WINDOW=15 cap
trips a 30-second cooldown across ALL sessions, emits a single
watch_overflow_tripped event, silently counts dropped events, and emits a
watch_overflow_released summary when the cooldown ends.
Also updates the tool schema + docstring to document the new behavior.
Tests: 8 new tests covering all three fixes (suppress-after-exit x2,
mutual-exclusion resolver x4, global breaker trip/cooldown/release x2).
All 60 tests across test_watch_patterns.py, test_notify_on_complete.py,
test_terminal_tool.py pass.
Real-world trigger: self-inflicted in session 20260425_051924 — three
concurrent hermes-sweeper review subprocesses each set watch_patterns=
['failed validation', 'errored'] AND notify_on_complete=True, then iterated
over multiple items, producing enough matches per process to defeat the
per-session cap while staying under the global cap that didn't yet exist.
* fix(terminal): aggressive 1-per-15s watch_patterns rate limit + strike-3 promotion
Per Teknium's direction, the watch_patterns rate limit is now much more
aggressive and self-healing.
## New rule — per session
- HARD cap: 1 watch-match notification per 15 seconds per process.
- Any match arriving inside the cooldown window is dropped and counts as
ONE strike for that window (many drops in the same window still = 1 strike).
- After 3 consecutive strike windows, watch_patterns is permanently disabled
for the session and the session is auto-promoted to notify_on_complete
semantics — exactly one notification when the process actually exits.
- A cooldown window that expires with zero drops resets the consecutive
strike counter — healthy cadence is forgiven.
## Schema + docstring rewritten
The tool schema description now gives the model explicit guidance:
- notify_on_complete is 'the right choice for almost every long-running task'
- watch_patterns is for RARE one-shot signals on LONG-LIVED processes
- Do NOT use watch_patterns with loops/batch jobs — error patterns fire every
iteration and will hit the strike limit fast
- Mutual exclusion is stated on both parameter descriptions
- 1/15s cooldown and 3-strike promotion are stated in the watch_patterns
description so the model sees the contract every turn
## Removed
- WATCH_MAX_PER_WINDOW (8/10s) and WATCH_OVERLOAD_KILL_SECONDS (45) — the
new 1/15s limit subsumes both; keeping them would double-count.
- _watch_window_hits / _watch_window_start / _watch_overload_since fields
on ProcessSession. Replaced by _watch_last_emit_at / _watch_cooldown_until
/ _watch_strike_candidate / _watch_consecutive_strikes.
## Kept
- Global circuit breaker across all sessions (15/10s → 30s cooldown) as a
secondary safety net for concurrent siblings. Still valuable when 20
short-lived processes each fire once — none individually violates the
per-session limit.
- Suppress-after-exit guard.
- Mutual exclusion resolver at the tool entry point.
## Tests
- 6 new tests in TestPerSessionRateLimit covering: first match delivers,
second in cooldown suppressed, multi-drop = single strike, 3 strikes
disables + promotes, clean window resets counter, suppressed count
carried to next emit.
- Global circuit breaker tests rewritten to use fresh sessions instead of
hacking removed per-window fields.
- 50/50 watch_patterns + notify_on_complete tests pass.
- 60/60 including test_terminal_tool.py pass.
* feat(dashboard): page-scoped plugin slots for built-in pages
Dashboard plugins can now inject components into specific built-in
pages (Sessions, Analytics, Logs, Cron, Skills, Config, Env, Docs,
Chat) without overriding the whole route.
Previously, plugins could only:
1. Add new tabs (tab.path)
2. Replace whole built-in pages (tab.override)
3. Inject into global shell slots (header-*, footer-*, pre-main, ...)
None of those let a plugin add a banner, card, or widget to an
existing page. The new <page>:top / <page>:bottom slots close that
gap, reusing the existing registerSlot() API.
Changes
- web/src/plugins/slots.ts: 18 new KNOWN_SLOT_NAMES entries
(sessions:top, sessions:bottom, analytics:top, ..., chat:bottom),
grouped under "Shell-wide" vs "Page-scoped" in the docblock
- web/src/pages/*: each built-in page now renders
<PluginSlot name="<page>:top" />
as the first child of its outer wrapper and
<PluginSlot name="<page>:bottom" />
as the last child -- zero visual cost when no plugin registers
- plugins/example-dashboard: registers a demo banner into
sessions:top via registerSlot(), with matching slots entry in
the manifest -- so freshly-setup users can see what page-scoped
slots look like without writing any plugin code
- website/docs: new "Page-scoped slots" table in the plugin
authoring guide, with a worked example
- tests/hermes_cli/test_web_server.py: round-trip test for
colon-bearing slot names (sessions:top, analytics:bottom, ...)
Validation
- npm run build: clean (tsc -b + vite build, 2761 modules)
- scripts/run_tests.sh tests/hermes_cli/test_web_server.py::TestDashboardPluginManifestExtensions: 5/5 pass
`hermes tools` → "reconfigure existing" listed Spotify twice because
the Apr 24 refactor that moved Spotify into plugins/spotify/ (PR #15174)
left the entry in CONFIGURABLE_TOOLSETS. _get_effective_configurable_toolsets()
unconditionally appended get_plugin_toolsets() on top, so the same
'spotify' key showed up from both sources.
Dedupe by key — built-in CONFIGURABLE_TOOLSETS entry wins (it has the
nicer label and description). Also guards against future bundled plugins
that share a toolset key with a built-in.
Both discord (read/participate) and discord_admin (server admin) are now
configurable via `hermes tools` with default-OFF. Previously the core
discord tool (fetch_messages, search_members, create_thread) auto-loaded
on every Discord install with DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN set — 19 tools the user
never opted into.
Adds a platform-scoping mechanism (_TOOLSET_PLATFORM_RESTRICTIONS) so
the discord toolsets only show up in the Discord platform's checklist,
not on CLI/Telegram/Slack/etc. Applied at four gates:
- _prompt_toolset_checklist: checklist filter
- _get_platform_tools: resolution filter (both branches)
- _save_platform_tools: save-time filter (covers 'Configure all
platforms' and hand-edited config.yaml)
- tools_disable_enable_command: rejects `hermes tools enable discord`
on non-Discord platforms with a clear error
build_session_context_prompt now injects the Discord IDs block only
when both conditions hold: the discord/discord_admin toolset is
enabled AND DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN is set. Toolset alone isn't enough —
the tool's check_fn gates on the token at registry time, so opting
in without a token yields no tools and the IDs block would lie.
Otherwise keep the stale-API disclaimer.
The feishu_doc and feishu_drive tools were registered in the tool
registry but never added to the hermes-feishu composite toolset.
The pipeline fix from the prior commit now recovers them automatically
once they are in the composite.
Split the monolithic discord_server tool (14 actions) into two:
- discord: core actions (fetch_messages, search_members, create_thread)
that are useful for the agent's normal operation. Auto-enabled on
the discord platform via the pipeline fix.
- discord_admin: server management actions (list channels/roles, pins,
role assignment) that require explicit opt-in via hermes tools.
Added to CONFIGURABLE_TOOLSETS and _DEFAULT_OFF_TOOLSETS.
The reverse-mapping loop in _get_platform_tools only checked
CONFIGURABLE_TOOLSETS, silently dropping platform-specific toolsets
like discord and feishu_doc whose tools were in the composite but
had no configurable key. Add a second pass over TOOLSETS that picks
up unclaimed toolsets whose tools are present in the resolved
composite.
YAML parses bare numeric toolset names (e.g. 12306:) as int, causing
TypeError in sorted() since the read path normalizes to str but the
save path did not.
The no_mcp sentinel was preserved in existing entries even when the
user re-enabled MCP servers, causing MCP to stay silently disabled.
/model gpt-5.5 on openai-codex showed 'Context: 1,050,000 tokens' because
the display block used ModelInfo.context_window directly from models.dev.
Codex OAuth actually enforces 272K for the same slug, and the agent's
compressor already runs at 272K via get_model_context_length() — so the
banner + real context budget said 272K while /model lied with 1M.
Route the display context through a new resolve_display_context_length()
helper that always prefers agent.model_metadata.get_model_context_length
(which knows about Codex OAuth, Copilot, Nous caps) and only falls back
to models.dev when that returns nothing.
Fix applied to all 3 /model display sites:
cli.py _handle_model_switch
gateway/run.py picker on_model_selected callback
gateway/run.py text-fallback confirmation
Reported by @emilstridell (Telegram, April 2026).
Exposes hermes --tui over a PTY-backed WebSocket so the dashboard can

Components
----------
hermes_cli/pty_bridge.py
Thin wrapper around ptyprocess.PtyProcess: byte-safe read/write on the
master fd via os.read/os.write (not PtyProcessUnicode — ANSI is
inherently byte-oriented and UTF-8 boundaries may land mid-read),
non-blocking select-based reads, TIOCSWINSZ resize, idempotent
SIGHUP→SIGTERM→SIGKILL teardown, platform guard (POSIX-only; Windows
is WSL-supported only).
hermes_cli/web_server.py
@app.websocket("/api/pty") endpoint gated by the existing
_SESSION_TOKEN (via ?token= query param since browsers can't set
Authorization on WS upgrades). Loopback-only enforcement. Reader task
uses run_in_executor to pump PTY bytes without blocking the event
loop. Writer loop intercepts a custom \x1b[RESIZE:cols;rows] escape
before forwarding to the PTY. The endpoint resolves the TUI argv
through a _resolve_chat_argv hook so tests can inject fake commands
without building the real TUI.
Tests
-----
tests/hermes_cli/test_pty_bridge.py — 12 unit tests: spawn, stdout,
stdin round-trip, EOF, resize (via TIOCSWINSZ + tput readback), close
idempotency, cwd, env forwarding, unavailable-platform error.
tests/hermes_cli/test_web_server.py — TestPtyWebSocket adds 7 tests:
missing/bad token rejection (close code 4401), stdout streaming,
stdin round-trip, resize escape forwarding, unavailable-platform ANSI
error frame + 1011 close, resume parameter forwarding to argv.
96 tests pass under scripts/run_tests.sh.

against current main: BUILTIN_ROUTES table + plugin slot layout)
fix(tui): replace OSC 52 jargon in /copy confirmation
When the user ran /copy successfully, Ink confirmed with:
sent OSC52 copy sequence (terminal support required)
That reads like a protocol spec to everyone who isn't a terminal
implementer. The caveat was a historical artifact — OSC 52 wasn't
universally supported when this message was written, so the TUI
honestly couldn't guarantee the copy had landed anywhere.
Today every modern terminal (including the dashboard's embedded
xterm.js) handles OSC 52 reliably. Say what the user actually wants
to know — that it copied, and how much — matching the message the
TUI already uses for selection copy:
copied 1482 chars
(cherry picked from commit a0701b1d5a)
docs: document the dashboard Chat tab
AGENTS.md — new subsection under TUI Architecture explaining that the
dashboard embeds the real hermes --tui rather than rewriting it,
with pointers to the pty_bridge + WebSocket endpoint and the rule
'never add a parallel chat surface in React.'
website/docs/user-guide/features/web-dashboard.md — user-facing Chat
section inside the existing Web Dashboard page, covering how it works
(WebSocket + PTY + xterm.js), the Sessions-page resume flow, and
prerequisites (Node.js, ptyprocess, POSIX kernel / WSL on Windows).
(cherry picked from commit 2c2e32cc45)
feat(tui-gateway): transport-aware dispatch + WebSocket sidecar
Decouples the JSON-RPC dispatcher from its I/O sink so the same handler
surface can drive multiple transports concurrently. The PTY chat tab
already speaks to the TUI binary as bytes — this adds a structured
event channel alongside it for dashboard-side React widgets that need
typed events (tool.start/complete, model picker state, slash catalog)
that PTY can't surface.
- `tui_gateway/transport.py` — `Transport` protocol + `contextvars` binding
+ module-level `StdioTransport` fallback. The stdio stream resolves
through a lambda so existing tests that monkey-patch `_real_stdout`
keep passing without modification.
- `tui_gateway/ws.py` — WebSocket transport implementation; FastAPI
endpoint mounting lives in hermes_cli/web_server.py.
- `tui_gateway/server.py`:
- `write_json` routes via session transport (for async events) →
contextvar transport (for in-request writes) → stdio fallback.
- `dispatch(req, transport=None)` binds the transport for the request
lifetime and propagates it to pool workers via `contextvars.copy_context`
so async handlers don't lose their sink.
- `_init_session` and the manual-session create path stash the
request's transport so out-of-band events (subagent.complete, etc.)
fan out to the right peer.
`tui_gateway.entry` (Ink's stdio handshake) is unchanged externally —
it falls through every precedence step into the stdio fallback, byte-
identical to the previous behaviour.
feat(web): ChatSidebar — JSON-RPC sidecar next to xterm.js terminal
Composes the two transports into a single Chat tab:
┌─────────────────────────────────────────┬──────────────┐
│ xterm.js / PTY (emozilla #13379) │ ChatSidebar │
│ the literal hermes --tui process │ /api/ws │
└─────────────────────────────────────────┴──────────────┘
terminal bytes structured events
The terminal pane stays the canonical chat surface — full TUI fidelity,
slash commands, model picker, mouse, skin engine, wide chars all paint
inside the terminal. The sidebar opens a parallel JSON-RPC WebSocket
to the same gateway and renders metadata that PTY can't surface to
React chrome:
• model + provider badge with connection state (click → switch)
• running tool-call list (driven by tool.start / tool.progress /
tool.complete events)
• model picker dialog (gateway-driven, reuses ModelPickerDialog)
The sidecar is best-effort. If the WS can't connect (older gateway,
network hiccup, missing token) the terminal pane keeps working
unimpaired — sidebar just shows the connection-state badge in the
appropriate tone.
- `web/src/components/ChatSidebar.tsx` — new component (~270 lines).
Owns its GatewayClient, drives the model picker through
`slash.exec`, fans tool events into a capped tool list.
- `web/src/pages/ChatPage.tsx` — split layout: terminal pane
(`flex-1`) + sidebar (`w-80`, `lg+` only).
- `hermes_cli/web_server.py` — mount `/api/ws` (token + loopback
guards mirror /api/pty), delegate to `tui_gateway.ws.handle_ws`.

refactor(web): /clean pass on ChatSidebar + ChatPage lint debt
- ChatSidebar: lift gw out of useRef into a useMemo derived from a
reconnect counter. React 19's react-hooks/refs and react-hooks/
set-state-in-effect rules both fire when you touch a ref during
render or call setState from inside a useEffect body. The
counter-derived gw is the canonical pattern for "external resource
that needs to be replaceable on user action" — re-creating the
client comes from bumping `version`, the effect just wires + tears
down. Drops the imperative `gwRef.current = …` reassign in
reconnect, drops the truthy ref guard in JSX. modelLabel +
banner inlined as derived locals (one-off useMemo was overkill).
- ChatPage: lazy-init the banner state from the missing-token check
so the effect body doesn't have to setState on first run. Drops
the unused react-hooks/exhaustive-deps eslint-disable. Adds a
scoped no-control-regex disable on the SGR mouse parser regex
(the \\x1b is intentional for xterm escape sequences).
All my-touched files now lint clean. Remaining warnings on web/
belong to pre-existing files this PR doesn't touch.
Verified: vitest 249/249, ui-tui eslint clean, web tsc clean,
python imports clean.
chore: uptick
fix(web): drop ChatSidebar tool list — events can't cross PTY/WS boundary
The /api/pty endpoint spawns `hermes --tui` as a child process with its
own tui_gateway and _sessions dict; /api/ws runs handle_ws in-process in
the dashboard server with a separate _sessions dict. Tool events fire on
the child's gateway and never reach the WS sidecar, so the sidebar's
tool.start/progress/complete listeners always observed an empty list.
Drop the misleading list (and the now-orphaned ToolCall primitive),
keep model badge + connection state + model picker + error banner —
those work because they're sidecar-local concerns. Surfacing tool calls
in the sidebar requires cross-process forwarding (PTY child opens a
back-WS to the dashboard, gateway tees emits onto stdio + sidecar
transport) — proper feature for a follow-up.
feat(web): wire ChatSidebar tool list to PTY child via /api/pub broadcast
The dashboard's /api/pty spawns hermes --tui as a child process; tool
events fire in the python tui_gateway grandchild and never crossed the
process boundary into the in-process WS sidecar — so the sidebar tool
list was always empty.
Cross-process forwarding:
- tui_gateway: TeeTransport (transport.py) + WsPublisherTransport
(event_publisher.py, sync websockets client). entry.py installs the
tee on _stdio_transport when HERMES_TUI_SIDECAR_URL is set, mirroring
every dispatcher emit to a back-WS without disturbing Ink's stdio
handshake.
- hermes_cli/web_server.py: new /api/pub (publisher) + /api/events
(subscriber) endpoints with a per-channel registry. /api/pty now
accepts ?channel= and propagates the sidecar URL via env. start_server
also stashes app.state.bound_port so the URL is constructable.
- web/src/pages/ChatPage.tsx: generates a channel UUID per mount,
passes it to /api/pty and as a prop to ChatSidebar.
- web/src/components/ChatSidebar.tsx: opens /api/events?channel=, fans
tool.start/progress/complete back into the ToolCall list. Restores
the ToolCall primitive.
Tests: 4 new TestPtyWebSocket cases cover channel propagation,
broadcast fan-out, and missing-channel rejection (10 PTY tests pass,
120 web_server tests overall).
fix(web): address Copilot review on #14890
Five threads, all real:
- gatewayClient.ts: register `message`/`close` listeners BEFORE awaiting
the open handshake. Server emits `gateway.ready` immediately after
accept, so a listener attached after the open promise could race past
the initial skin payload and lose it.
- ChatSidebar.tsx: wire `error`/`close` on the /api/events subscriber
WS into the existing error banner. 4401/4403 (auth/loopback reject)
surface as a "reload the page" message; mid-stream drops surface as
"events feed disconnected" with the existing reconnect button. Clean
unmount closes (1000/1001) stay silent.
- web-dashboard.md: install hint was `pip install hermes-agent[web]` but
ptyprocess lives in the `pty` extra, not `web`. Switch to
`hermes-agent[web,pty]` in both prerequisite blocks.
- AGENTS.md: previous "never add a parallel React chat surface" guidance
was overbroad and contradicted this PR's sidebar. Tightened to forbid
re-implementing the transcript/composer/PTY terminal while explicitly
allowing structured supporting widgets (sidebar / model picker /
inspectors), matching the actual architecture.
- web/package-lock.json: regenerated cleanly so the wterm sibling
workspace paths (extraneous machine-local entries) stop polluting CI.
Tests: 249/249 vitest, 10/10 PTY/events, web tsc clean.
refactor(web): /clean pass on ChatSidebar events handler
Spotted in the round-2 review:
- Banner flashed on clean unmount: `ws.close()` from the effect cleanup
fires `close` with code 1005, opened=true, neither 1000 nor 1001 —
hit the "unexpected drop" branch. Track `unmounting` in the effect
scope and gate the banner through a `surface()` helper so cleanup
closes stay silent.
- DRY the duplicated "events feed disconnected" string into a local
const used by both the error and close handlers.
- Drop the `opened` flag (no longer needed once the unmount guard is
the source of truth for "is this an expected close?").
Bug 3 — Stale OAuth token not detected in 'hermes model':
- _model_flow_anthropic used 'has_creds = bool(existing_key)' which treats
any non-empty token (including expired OAuth tokens) as valid.
- Added existing_is_stale_oauth check: if the only credential is an OAuth
token (sk-ant- prefix) with no valid cc_creds fallback, mark it stale
and force the re-auth menu instead of silently accepting a broken token.
Bug 4 — macOS Keychain credentials never read:
- Claude Code >=2.1.114 migrated from ~/.claude/.credentials.json to the
macOS Keychain under service 'Claude Code-credentials'.
- Added _read_claude_code_credentials_from_keychain() using the 'security'
CLI tool; read_claude_code_credentials() now tries Keychain first then
falls back to JSON file.
- Non-Darwin platforms return None from Keychain read immediately.
Tests:
- tests/agent/test_anthropic_keychain.py: 11 cases covering Darwin-only
guard, security command failures, JSON parsing, fallback priority.
- tests/hermes_cli/test_anthropic_model_flow_stale_oauth.py: 8 cases
covering stale OAuth detection, API key passthrough, cc_creds fallback.

Moves the Spotify integration from tools/ into plugins/spotify/,
matching the existing pattern established by plugins/image_gen/ for
third-party service integrations.
Why:
- tools/ should be reserved for foundational capabilities (terminal,
read_file, web_search, etc.). tools/providers/ was a one-off
directory created solely for spotify_client.py.
- plugins/ is already the home for image_gen backends, memory
providers, context engines, and standalone hook-based plugins.
Spotify is a third-party service integration and belongs alongside
those, not in tools/.
- Future service integrations (eventually: Deezer, Apple Music, etc.)
now have a pattern to copy.
Changes:
- tools/spotify_tool.py → plugins/spotify/tools.py (handlers + schemas)
- tools/providers/spotify_client.py → plugins/spotify/client.py
- tools/providers/ removed (was only used for Spotify)
- New plugins/spotify/__init__.py with register(ctx) calling
ctx.register_tool() × 7. The handler/check_fn wiring is unchanged.
- New plugins/spotify/plugin.yaml (kind: backend, bundled, auto-load).
- tests/tools/test_spotify_client.py: import paths updated.
tools_config fix — _DEFAULT_OFF_TOOLSETS now wins over plugin auto-enable:
- _get_platform_tools() previously auto-enabled unknown plugin
toolsets for new platforms. That was fine for image_gen (which has
no toolset of its own) but bad for Spotify, which explicitly
requires opt-in (don't ship 7 tool schemas to users who don't use
it). Added a check: if a plugin toolset is in _DEFAULT_OFF_TOOLSETS,
it stays off until the user picks it in 'hermes tools'.
Pre-existing test bug fix:
- tests/hermes_cli/test_plugins.py::test_list_returns_sorted
asserted names were sorted, but list_plugins() sorts by key
(path-derived, e.g. image_gen/openai). With only image_gen plugins
bundled, name and key order happened to agree. Adding plugins/spotify
broke that coincidence (spotify sorts between openai-codex and xai
by name but after xai by key). Updated test to assert key order,
which is what the code actually documents.
Validation:
- scripts/run_tests.sh tests/hermes_cli/test_plugins.py \
tests/hermes_cli/test_tools_config.py \
tests/hermes_cli/test_spotify_auth.py \
tests/tools/test_spotify_client.py \
tests/tools/test_registry.py
→ 143 passed
- E2E plugin load: 'spotify' appears in loaded plugins, all 7 tools
register into the spotify toolset, check_fn gating intact.
- probe_api_models: add api_mode param; use x-api-key + anthropic-version
headers for anthropic_messages mode (Anthropic's native Models API auth)
- probe_api_models: add User-Agent header to avoid Cloudflare 403 blocks
on third-party OpenAI-compatible endpoints
- validate_requested_model: pass api_mode through from switch_model
- validate_requested_model: for anthropic_messages mode, attempt probe with
correct auth; if probe fails (many proxies don't implement /v1/models),
accept the model with an informational warning instead of rejecting
- fetch_api_models: propagate api_mode to probe_api_models
Previously 'hermes auth spotify' crashed with 'HERMES_SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID
is required' if the user hadn't manually created a Spotify developer
app and set env vars. Now the command detects a missing client_id and
walks the user through the one-time app registration inline:
- Opens https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard in the browser
- Tells the user exactly what to paste into the Spotify form
(including the correct default redirect URI, 127.0.0.1:43827)
- Prompts for the Client ID
- Persists HERMES_SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID to ~/.hermes/.env so subsequent
runs skip the wizard
- Continues straight into the PKCE OAuth flow
Also prints the docs URL at both the start of the wizard and the end
of a successful login so users can find the full guide.
Adds website/docs/user-guide/features/spotify.md with the complete
setup walkthrough, tool reference, and troubleshooting, and wires it
into the sidebar under User Guide > Features > Advanced.
Fixes a stale redirect URI default in the hermes_cli/tools_config.py
TOOL_CATEGORIES entry (was 8888/callback from the PR description
instead of the actual DEFAULT_SPOTIFY_REDIRECT_URI value
43827/spotify/callback defined in auth.py).
`_normalize_for_deepseek` was mapping every non-reasoner input into
`deepseek-chat` on the assumption that DeepSeek's API accepts only two
model IDs. That assumption no longer holds — `deepseek-v4-pro` and
`deepseek-v4-flash` are first-class IDs accepted by the direct API,
and on aggregators `deepseek-chat` routes explicitly to V3 (DeepInfra
backend returns `deepseek-chat-v3`). So a user picking V4 Pro through
the model picker was being silently downgraded to V3.
Verified 2026-04-24 against Nous portal's OpenAI-compat surface:
- `deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash` → provider: DeepSeek,
model: deepseek-v4-flash-20260423
- `deepseek/deepseek-chat` → provider: DeepInfra,
model: deepseek/deepseek-chat-v3
Fix:
- Add `deepseek-v4-pro` and `deepseek-v4-flash` to
`_DEEPSEEK_CANONICAL_MODELS` so exact matches pass through.
- Add `_DEEPSEEK_V_SERIES_RE` (`^deepseek-v\d+(...)?$`) so future
V-series IDs (`deepseek-v5-*`, dated variants) keep passing through
without another code change.
- Update docstring + module header to reflect the new rule.
Tests:
- New `TestDeepseekVSeriesPassThrough` — 8 parametrized cases covering
bare, vendor-prefixed, case-variant, dated, and future V-series IDs
plus end-to-end `normalize_model_for_provider(..., "deepseek")`.
- New `TestDeepseekCanonicalAndReasonerMapping` — regression coverage
for canonical pass-through, reasoner-keyword folding, and
fall-back-to-chat behaviour.
- 77/77 pass.
Reported on Discord (Ufonik, Don Piedro): `/model > Deepseek >
deepseek-v4-pro` surfaced
`Normalized 'deepseek-v4-pro' to 'deepseek-chat'`. Picker listing
showed the v4 names, so validation also rejected the post-normalize
`deepseek-chat` as "not in provider listing" — the contradiction
users saw. Normalizer now respects the picker's choice.
The Copilot provider resolved context windows via models.dev static data,
which does not include account-specific models (e.g. claude-opus-4.6-1m
with 1M context). This adds the live Copilot /models API as a higher-
priority source for copilot/copilot-acp/github-copilot providers.
New helper get_copilot_model_context() in hermes_cli/models.py extracts
capabilities.limits.max_prompt_tokens from the cached catalog. Results
are cached in-process for 1 hour.
In agent/model_metadata.py, step 5a queries the live API before falling
through to models.dev (step 5b). This ensures account-specific models
get correct context windows while standard models still have a fallback.
Part 1 of #7731.
Refs: #7272
Raw GitHub tokens (gho_/github_pat_/ghu_) are now exchanged for
short-lived Copilot API tokens via /copilot_internal/v2/token before
being used as Bearer credentials. This is required to access
internal-only models (e.g. claude-opus-4.6-1m with 1M context).
Implementation:
- exchange_copilot_token(): calls the token exchange endpoint with
in-process caching (dict keyed by SHA-256 fingerprint), refreshed
2 minutes before expiry. No disk persistence — gateway is long-running
so in-memory cache is sufficient.
- get_copilot_api_token(): convenience wrapper with graceful fallback —
returns exchanged token on success, raw token on failure.
- Both callers (hermes_cli/auth.py and agent/credential_pool.py) now
pipe the raw token through get_copilot_api_token() before use.
12 new tests covering exchange, caching, expiry, error handling,
fingerprinting, and caller integration. All 185 existing copilot/auth
tests pass.
Part 2 of #7731.
Two narrow fixes motivated by #15099.
1. _seed_from_singletons() was dropping obtained_at, agent_key_obtained_at,
expires_in, and friends when seeding device_code pool entries from the
providers.nous singleton. Fresh credentials showed up with
obtained_at=None, which broke downstream freshness-sensitive consumers
(self-heal hooks, pool pruning by age) — they treated just-minted
credentials as older than they actually were and evicted them.
2. When the Nous Portal OAuth 2.1 server returns invalid_grant with
'Refresh token reuse detected' in the error_description, rewrite the
message to explain the likely cause (an external process consumed the
rotated RT without persisting it back) and the mitigation. The generic
reuse message led users to report this as a Hermes persistence bug when
the actual trigger was typically a third-party monitoring script calling
/api/oauth/token directly. Non-reuse errors keep their original server
description untouched.
Closes#15099.
Regression tests:
- tests/agent/test_credential_pool.py::test_nous_seed_from_singletons_preserves_obtained_at_timestamps
- tests/hermes_cli/test_auth_nous_provider.py::test_refresh_token_reuse_detection_surfaces_actionable_message
- tests/hermes_cli/test_auth_nous_provider.py::test_refresh_non_reuse_error_keeps_original_description
agent/redact.py snapshots _REDACT_ENABLED from HERMES_REDACT_SECRETS at
module-import time. hermes_cli/main.py calls setup_logging() early, which
transitively imports agent.redact — BEFORE any config bridge has run. So
users who set 'security.redact_secrets: false' in config.yaml (instead of
HERMES_REDACT_SECRETS=false in .env) had the toggle silently ignored in
both 'hermes chat' and 'hermes gateway run'.
Bridge config.yaml -> env var in hermes_cli/main.py BEFORE setup_logging.
.env still wins (only set env when unset) — config.yaml is the fallback.
Regression tests in tests/hermes_cli/test_redact_config_bridge.py spawn
fresh subprocesses to verify:
- redact_secrets: false in config.yaml disables redaction
- default (key absent) leaves redaction enabled
- .env HERMES_REDACT_SECRETS=true overrides config.yaml
/model kimi-k2.6 on opencode-zen (or glm-5.1 on opencode-go) returned OpenCode's
website 404 HTML page when the user's persisted model.default was a Claude or
MiniMax model. The switched-to chat_completions request hit
https://opencode.ai/zen (or /zen/go) with no /v1 suffix.
Root cause: resolve_runtime_provider() computed api_mode from
model_cfg.get('default') instead of the model being requested. With a Claude
default, it resolved api_mode=anthropic_messages, stripped /v1 from base_url
(required for the Anthropic SDK), then switch_model()'s opencode_model_api_mode
override flipped api_mode back to chat_completions without restoring /v1.
Fix: thread an optional target_model kwarg through resolve_runtime_provider
and _resolve_runtime_from_pool_entry. When the caller is performing an explicit
mid-session model switch (i.e. switch_model()), the target model drives both
api_mode selection and the conditional /v1 strip. Other callers (CLI init,
gateway init, cron, ACP, aux client, delegate, account_usage, tui_gateway) pass
nothing and preserve the existing config-default behavior.
Regression tests added in test_model_switch_opencode_anthropic.py use the REAL
resolver (not a mock) to guard the exact Quentin-repro scenario. Existing tests
that mocked resolve_runtime_provider with 'lambda requested:' had their mock
signatures widened to '**kwargs' to accept the new kwarg.
When /model selects Custom but model.provider in YAML still reflects a prior provider, trust model.base_url only for loopback hosts or when provider is custom. Consult CUSTOM_BASE_URL before OpenRouter defaults (#14676).
OpenAI's OAuth token endpoint returns errors in a nested shape —
{"error": {"code": "refresh_token_reused", "message": "..."}} —
not the OAuth spec's flat {"error": "...", "error_description": "..."}.
The existing parser only handled the flat shape, so:
- `err.get("error")` returned a dict, the `isinstance(str)` guard
rejected it, and `code` stayed `"codex_refresh_failed"`.
- The dedicated `refresh_token_reused` branch (with its actionable
"re-run codex + hermes auth" message and `relogin_required=True`)
never fired.
- Users saw the generic "Codex token refresh failed with status 401"
when another Codex client (CLI, VS Code extension) had consumed
their single-use refresh token — giving no hint that re-auth was
required.
Parse both shapes, mapping OpenAI's nested `code`/`type` onto the
existing `code` variable so downstream branches (`refresh_token_reused`,
`invalid_grant`, etc.) fire correctly.
Add regression tests covering:
- nested `refresh_token_reused` → actionable message + relogin_required
- nested generic code → code + message surfaced
- flat OAuth-spec `invalid_grant` still handled (back-compat)
- unparseable body → generic fallback message, relogin_required=False

Google AI Studio's free tier (<= 250 req/day for gemini-2.5-flash) is
exhausted in a handful of agent turns, so the setup wizard now refuses
to wire up Gemini when the supplied key is on the free tier, and the
runtime 429 handler appends actionable billing guidance.
Setup-time probe (hermes_cli/main.py):
- `_model_flow_api_key_provider` fires one minimal generateContent call
when provider_id == 'gemini' and classifies the response as
free/paid/unknown via x-ratelimit-limit-requests-per-day header or
429 body containing 'free_tier'.
- Free -> print block message, refuse to save the provider, return.
- Paid -> 'Tier check: paid' and proceed.
- Unknown (network/auth error) -> 'could not verify', proceed anyway.
Runtime 429 handler (agent/gemini_native_adapter.py):
- `gemini_http_error` appends billing guidance when the 429 error body
mentions 'free_tier', catching users who bypass setup by putting
GOOGLE_API_KEY directly in .env.
Tests: 21 unit tests for the probe + error path, 4 tests for the
setup-flow block. All 67 existing gemini tests still pass.
Make the main-branch test suite pass again. Most failures were tests
still asserting old shapes after recent refactors; two were real source
bugs.
Source fixes:
- tools/mcp_tool.py: _kill_orphaned_mcp_children() slept 2s on every
shutdown even when no tracked PIDs existed, making test_shutdown_is_parallel
measure ~3s for 3 parallel 1s shutdowns. Early-return when pids is empty.
- hermes_cli/tips.py: tip 105 was 157 chars; corpus max is 150.
Test fixes (mostly stale mock targets / missing fixture fields):
- test_zombie_process_cleanup, test_agent_cache: patch run_agent.cleanup_vm
(the local name bound at import), not tools.terminal_tool.cleanup_vm.
- test_browser_camofox: patch tools.browser_camofox.load_config, not
hermes_cli.config.load_config (the source module, not the resolved one).
- test_flush_memories_codex._chat_response_with_memory_call: add
finish_reason, tool_call.id, tool_call.type so the chat_completions
transport normalizer doesn't AttributeError.
- test_concurrent_interrupt: polling_tool signature now accepts
messages= kwarg that _invoke_tool() passes through.
- test_minimax_provider: add _fallback_chain=[] to the __new__'d agent
so switch_model() doesn't AttributeError.
- test_skills_config: SKILLS_DIR MagicMock + .rglob stopped working
after the scanner switched to agent.skill_utils.iter_skill_index_files
(os.walk-based). Point SKILLS_DIR at a real tmp_path and patch
agent.skill_utils.get_external_skills_dirs.
- test_browser_cdp_tool: browser_cdp toolset was intentionally split into
'browser-cdp' (commit 96b0f3700) so its stricter check_fn doesn't gate
the whole browser toolset; test now expects 'browser-cdp'.
- test_registry: add tools.browser_dialog_tool to the expected
builtin-discovery set (PR #14540 added it).
- test_file_tools TestPatchHints: patch_tool surfaces hints as a '_hint'
key on the JSON payload, not inline '[Hint: ...' text.
- test_write_deny test_hermes_env: resolve .env via get_hermes_home() so
the path matches the profile-aware denylist under hermetic HERMES_HOME.
- test_checkpoint_manager test_falls_back_to_parent: guard the walk-up
so a stray /tmp/pyproject.toml on the host doesn't pick up /tmp as the
project root.
- test_quick_commands: set cli.session_id in the __new__'d CLI so the
alias-args path doesn't trip AttributeError when fuzzy-matching leaks
a skill command across xdist test distribution.
