On provider switches mid-session (e.g. MiniMax -> DeepSeek), the source
assistant turn carries a 'reasoning' field written by the prior provider
but no 'reasoning_content' key. _copy_reasoning_content_for_api would
promote that foreign 'reasoning' to 'reasoning_content' on the outbound
DeepSeek request, leaking a cross-provider chain of thought and in
practice causing HTTP 400.
DeepSeek's own _build_assistant_message always pins reasoning_content=''
at creation time for tool-call turns, so the shape (reasoning set,
reasoning_content absent, tool_calls present) is unreachable from
same-provider DeepSeek history — it can only come from a prior provider.
Pad with '' in that case instead of promoting.
Healthy same-provider 'reasoning' promotion (no tool_calls, or on
providers that do not require the empty-string pin) is unchanged.
Defensive: when the generator encounters a fenced code block containing
Unicode box-drawing characters, wrap it in `<!-- ascii-guard-ignore -->`
markers so the docs-site-checks lint (which scans inside code fences)
can't reject the page for a skill's own diagram.
Plain bash/python code blocks stay uncluttered — only blocks with box
chars get wrapped. Skill authors no longer have to remember to add the
ignore markers in every SKILL.md with ASCII art.
Fixes#15305.
Previously 'hermes debug share' uploads only got DELETEd when the user
ran 'hermes debug share' again — opportunistic-sweep-on-invoke was the
only cleanup path. A user who uploaded once and never ran debug again
left pastes up until paste.rs's retention kicked in (which, empirically,
never actually expires them).
Hook _sweep_expired_pastes into the gateway cron ticker at the same
hourly cadence as the image/document cache cleanups. The opportunistic
sweep in 'hermes debug share' stays as a fallback for CLI-only users
who never start the gateway.
On macOS (bash 3.2 and some Homebrew bash builds) `source`ing a file that
contains `declare -x` statements prints each declaration to stdout. The
persistent-shell wrapper in tools/environments/base.py was only redirecting
stderr when sourcing the session snapshot, so ~60 lines of env vars leaked
into every terminal tool response — blowing out context and triggering
HTTP 400s on context-limited providers.
Fix: redirect both stdout and stderr when sourcing the snapshot. Linux
bash is silent here, so the redirect is harmless there; macOS no longer
leaks.
Closes#15459

Quick state snapshot now includes pairing JSONs (generic + legacy +
Feishu comment pairing), and `hermes update` takes a pre-update
snapshot labeled `pre-update` before pulling.
Pairing data lives outside state.db in platform-specific JSONs under
~/.hermes/pairing/, ~/.hermes/platforms/pairing/, and
~/.hermes/feishu_comment_pairing.json. The update command already
couldn't touch $HERMES_HOME, but #15733 reports lost pairing after
an update — this gives users something to restore from via
`/snapshot list` / `/snapshot restore <id>` if anything clobbers
the approved-user lists.
- Extend _QUICK_STATE_FILES with pairing paths (files + dirs)
- Snapshot walks directories recursively and records each file in the
manifest individually so restore logic is unchanged
- _cmd_update_impl calls create_quick_snapshot(label='pre-update')
after 'Found N new commits' and before 'Pulling updates'
- Snapshot failures are logged at debug and never block the update
Refs #15733.
read_file's dedup path returned a lightweight stub on re-reads of an
unchanged file, then returned early — so the consecutive-read loop
guard (hard block at count>=4) at the bottom of read_file_tool never
ran for stub-looped calls. Weaker tool-following models (local Qwen3.6
variants in the reported case) ignore the passive 'refer to earlier
result' hint and hammer the same read_file call until iteration budget
runs out.
Track per-key stub returns in task_data['dedup_hits'] and, on the
second stub for the same (path, offset, limit), return a hard BLOCKED
error mirroring the wording the real-read path already uses. A real
read, an intervening non-read tool call (notify_other_tool_call), or
reset_file_dedup (on context compression) all clear the counter so
the guard never stays engaged longer than the actual loop.
Closes#15759
Telegram groups emit a single bot_command entity covering the whole
/cmd@botname span with no accompanying mention entity, so the existing
mention gate in _message_mentions_bot dropped slash commands sent via
the bot-menu autocomplete whenever require_mention is enabled.
Recognise bot_command entities whose @botname suffix matches the bot
username (case-insensitive) as a direct mention, and keep rejecting
commands addressed at other bots. Fixes#15415.
When 'hermes model' runs against a providers: (keyed-schema) entry that
relies only on key_env, the picker resolves the env var for the live
/models request and then wrote a synthesized 'api_key: ${KEY_ENV}' back
to the providers.<key> entry. That's redundant — the runtime already
resolves from key_env directly — and it clutters configs that
intentionally keep credentials out of config.yaml.
Only persist provider_entry['api_key'] when the user originally had an
inline value (literal secret or ${VAR} template). Entries that declared
only key_env stay clean on save.
Fixes#15803.
For 14 of 74 compressed skills, the original description contained
trigger keywords, technique counts, attribution, or use-case phrases
not covered by the existing body content. Prepends a 'When to use' /
'What's inside' block near the top so the agent still has the full
context when the skill is loaded.
Skills salvaged:
- codex, ascii-video, creative-ideation, excalidraw, manim-video, p5js
- gif-search, heartmula, youtube-content
- lm-evaluation-harness, obliteratus, vllm, axolotl
- powerpoint
Remaining 60 skills were verified to already cover the dropped content
in their existing body sections (When to Use, overview, intro prose)
or had short descriptions fully captured by the new compressed form.
Target: every skill's description fits in a one-line gateway menu and
leads with trigger keywords an agent would match on. Drops filler like
'Use this skill to', 'A skill for', 'This skill provides'.
Before: max description length was 791 chars (architecture-diagram),
74 of 81 built-in skills were >60 chars.
After: max 60, mean 54, all 81 built-in skills <=60.

Harden the Matrix adapter's sender-drop guards so bot-self events and
appservice/bridge identities never reach the gateway's pairing flow or
the agent loop.
Two filters, applied as early as possible in _on_room_message (and
_on_reaction for the self-filter):
1. _is_self_sender(sender) — case-insensitive + whitespace-trimmed
equality with self._user_id. When self._user_id is still empty
(whoami has not resolved, or login failed), returns True
defensively: an unidentified bot dropping its own events is always
preferable to falling into an echo loop. The previous byte-for-byte
equality check let differently-cased copies of the bot's MXID slip
through, and an unresolved self-ID silently disabled the guard.
2. _is_system_or_bridge_sender(sender) — drops appservice namespace
puppets (conventional @_bridge_...:server form) and malformed
senders with an empty localpart. These identities used to fall
through to the gateway's unauthorized-user path, trigger a pairing
code, and — once an operator approved the bridge — every outbound
message the bridge relayed would loop back as an authorized user
message. This was the root of the 'hall of mirrors' symptom.

Title generation swallowed exceptions at debug level and returned None,
so a depleted auxiliary provider (e.g. OpenRouter 402) silently left
sessions with NULL titles. Reporter observed 45 untitled sessions
accumulated over 19 days with no user-visible indication.
- agent/title_generator.py: accept optional failure_callback, bump log
to WARNING, invoke callback on call_llm exception (swallowing callback
errors so nothing can crash the fire-and-forget worker thread).
- cli.py, gateway/run.py: pass agent._emit_auxiliary_failure as the
callback so failures route through the existing user-visible warning
channel.
- tests: cover callback fires / errors are swallowed / no-callback
legacy behavior / maybe_auto_title forwards kwarg to worker.
The bare-string isinstance guard added in 80ae2621 covered _find_tail_cut_by_tokens
(line 1084) but missed the identical pattern in _calculate_protect_tail_boundary
(line 487, the protect-tail scan loop). Both loops call .get("text", "") on every
list item in message["content"]; both crash with AttributeError when that list
contains a bare string.
Apply the same dict/str/fallback isinstance guard to the protect-tail path.

raw_content from message["content"] can be a list that contains bare
strings, not only dicts. The previous `p.get("text", "")` call raised
AttributeError on string items, crashing context compression for any
session that had a message with mixed content.
Guard with isinstance checks: dict → .get("text"), str → len(p),
fallback → len(str(p)). Adds a regression test covering the bare-string
case that would have AttributeError'd on the pre-fix code.

_find_tail_cut_by_tokens called len(content) to estimate message tokens.
When content is a list of blocks (multimodal: text + image_url), len()
returns block count (e.g. 2) rather than character count, so a message
with 500 chars of text was counted as ~10 tokens instead of ~135.
This caused the backward walk to exhaust all messages before hitting the
budget ceiling; the head_end safeguard then forced cut = n - min_tail,
shrinking the protected tail to the bare minimum and preventing effective
compression of long multimodal conversations.
Fix mirrors the existing pattern in _prune_old_tool_results (line 487):
sum(len(p.get("text", "")) for p in raw_content)
if isinstance(raw_content, list) else len(raw_content)
Tests: 3 new cases in TestTokenBudgetTailProtection — regression guard
(confirms the test fails with the bug), plain-string regression guard,
and image-only block edge case.

If the gateway's Python env loses access to 'croniter' between when a
cron job was created and when mark_job_run() fires, compute_next_run()
returns None for cron schedules. mark_job_run() treated that as terminal
completion and wrote enabled=false, state=completed — turning a missing
runtime dep into a silent, permanent job-off.
That behaviour is safe for one-shot jobs but wrong for recurring ones. A
missing dep should surface as an error the user can see, not as successful
completion of a job that is about to stop firing.
mark_job_run() now only disables the job on next_run_at=None when the
schedule is one-shot. For recurring (cron/interval) schedules it keeps
enabled=true, sets state=error, and records last_error so the user can
see why the job isn't advancing. compute_next_run() also logs a warning
the first time cron+no-croniter hits, so the underlying cause is visible
in the gateway log.
Tests cover:
- recurring cron job stays enabled with state=error when HAS_CRONITER=False
- recurring interval stays enabled when compute_next_run returns None
- one-shot jobs still flip to enabled=false, state=completed (no regression)
Fixes#16265
Azure Foundry deploys GPT-5.x, codex-*, and o1/o3/o4 reasoning models as
Responses-API-only. Calling /chat/completions against these deployments
returns 400 'The requested operation is unsupported.', which broke any
user who ran 'hermes model' on Azure, picked a gpt-5/codex deployment,
and kept the default api_mode: chat_completions. Verified in a user
debug bundle on 2026-04-26: gpt-5.3-codex failed on synopsisse.openai.azure.com
with that exact payload while gpt-4o-pure on the same endpoint worked.
Adds azure_foundry_model_api_mode(model_name) that returns
codex_responses when the model name starts with gpt-5, codex, o1, o3,
or o4 — otherwise None so chat_completions / anthropic_messages stay
untouched for gpt-4o, Llama, Claude-via-Anthropic, etc.
Resolver (both the direct Azure Foundry path and the pool-entry path)
consults it and upgrades api_mode unless the user explicitly picked
anthropic_messages. target_model (from /model mid-session switch)
takes precedence over the persisted default so switching from gpt-4o
to gpt-5.3-codex routes correctly before the next request.
Docs: correct the azure-foundry guide which previously claimed Azure
keeps gpt-5.x on chat completions — that was only true for early Azure
OpenAI, not Azure Foundry codex/o-series deployments.
Tests: 14 unit tests for azure_foundry_model_api_mode + 6 integration
tests in TestAzureFoundryResolution covering Bob's exact scenario,
target_model override, anthropic_messages guard, and o3-mini.
Follow-up to #16323 — the UrlSource adapter is shipped but four
user-facing docs surfaces still only listed the hub-identifier forms.
- user-guide/features/skills.md: add ``url`` to the Supported-hub-sources
table; add a new "#### 8. Direct URL (`url`)" section explaining scope
(single-file SKILL.md only), name-resolution order (frontmatter → URL
slug → interactive prompt → --name flag), and both TTY and
non-interactive usage. Add two URL examples to the install-examples
block near the top of the page.
- reference/cli-commands.md: two URL install examples + one note
explaining the name-resolution fallback chain.
- guides/work-with-skills.md: one URL-install example alongside the
existing hub-identifier examples.
- skills/autonomous-ai-agents/hermes-agent/SKILL.md: Quick Reference
block's ``hermes skills install`` line now spells out that ID can be
a hub identifier OR a direct SKILL.md URL, and mentions --name for
frontmatter-less skills.
No code changes. No new dependencies. Website builds via the usual
Docusaurus pipeline.

Parse scope from the raw callback URL before stripping the auth code so Flow.fetch_token matches user-granted scopes. Add regression test for dual-scope callbacks.
Made-with: Cursor
Two related fixes for OpenClaw-residue problems after an OpenClaw→Hermes
migration (especially migrations done via OpenClaw's own tool, which
doesn't archive the source directory).
1. optional-skills/migration/openclaw-migration/scripts/openclaw_to_hermes.py:
rebrand_text() was rewriting ~/.openclaw/config.yaml → ~/.Hermes/config.yaml
(capital H — a directory that doesn't exist). Now case-preserving:
"OpenClaw" → "Hermes" (prose), but "openclaw" → "hermes" (so filesystem
paths land on the real Hermes home). Regex logic unchanged — replacement
function now checks if the matched text was all-lowercase and emits the
replacement in the matching case.
2. agent/onboarding.py + cli.py: one-time startup banner the first time
Hermes launches and finds ~/.openclaw/. Tells the user to run
`hermes claw cleanup` to archive it, gated on the existing onboarding
seen-flag framework (onboarding.seen.openclaw_residue_cleanup in
config.yaml). Fires once per install; re-running requires wiping that
flag or running cleanup directly.
Tests:
- 4 new TestDetectOpenclawResidue tests (present / absent / file-instead-
of-dir / default-home smoke)
- 2 TestOpenclawResidueHint tests (content check)
- 2 TestOpenclawResidueSeenFlag tests (flag isolation + round-trip)
- test_rebrand_text_preserves_filesystem_path_casing regression test
with 4 scenarios including the exact ~/.openclaw/config.yaml case
- Existing test_rebrand_text_* tests updated to the new case-preserving
contract (lowercase input → lowercase output)

Four small tool-description / skill-content tweaks addressing recurring
model mistakes seen in @versun's docx feedback (Kimi 2.6, but the patterns
apply to every model):
1. browser_navigate description: call out .md/.txt/.json/.yaml/.csv/.xml,
raw.githubusercontent.com, and API endpoints as specifically preferring
curl or web_extract. The generic "prefer web_search or web_extract" was
too weak; models kept firing up the browser for plain-text URLs.
2. delegate_task description: two additions.
(a) Pass user language / output-style preferences in 'context' when they
differ from English — otherwise subagents default to English and their
summaries contaminate the final reply (caused the bilingual digest bug).
(b) Subagent summaries are self-reports, not verified facts. For
operations with external side-effects (HTTP uploads, remote writes,
file creation at shared paths), require a verifiable handle (URL, ID,
path) and verify it yourself before claiming success.
3. agent/prompt_builder.py Skills-mandatory block: new explicit line
"Whenever the user asks to configure / set up / modify / install /
enable / disable / troubleshoot Hermes Agent itself, load the
`hermes-agent` skill first." The generic "load what's relevant" didn't
route Hermes-meta questions (like "how do I turn off redaction?") to
the one skill that has the answer.
4. skills/autonomous-ai-agents/hermes-agent/SKILL.md: new "Security &
Privacy Toggles" section covering security.redact_secrets (with the
import-time-snapshot restart-required caveat), privacy.redact_pii,
approvals.mode (manual/smart/off) + --yolo + HERMES_YOLO_MODE, shell
hooks allowlist, and how to disable network/media tools entirely.
Every command verified against the actual config keys — no invented
knobs.

* feat(skills): install skills from a direct HTTP(S) URL
Adds UrlSource adapter so `hermes skills install <url-to-SKILL.md>` and
`/skills install <url>` work as first-class operations — no more
improvising with curl + patch + cp.
- Claims identifiers that start with http(s):// and end in .md
- Skips /.well-known/skills/ URLs (WellKnownSkillSource handles those)
- Skill name from YAML frontmatter, URL-slug fallback
- Single-file SKILL.md only (v1 scope — multi-file skills need a manifest)
- Trust level 'community'; full security scan still runs
- Lock file stores the URL as identifier so `hermes skills update`
re-fetches from the same URL cleanly
Scope matches real user need from @versun's docx feedback where
`https://sharethis.chat/SKILL.md` had no first-class install path.
* feat(skills): interactive name/category for URL installs + --name override
Follow-up to the UrlSource adapter. The previous commit fell back to weak
heuristics when frontmatter had no ``name:`` and could produce garbage names
like ``SKILL`` or ``unnamed-skill``. Now:
tools/skills_hub.py
- ``UrlSource._is_valid_skill_name()`` — strict identifier check
(``^[a-z][a-z0-9_-]*$``), rejects sentinel values (``SKILL``, ``README``,
``INDEX``, ``unnamed-skill``, empty, non-strings).
- ``_resolve_skill_name()`` returns ``Optional[str]`` — ``None`` when
nothing valid is resolvable. Also ignores unsafe frontmatter names
(``../evil``) and falls through to URL slug instead of returning None
immediately, so a URL with a bad frontmatter but a good path still
works.
- ``fetch()``/``inspect()`` carry an ``awaiting_name=True`` marker in
metadata/extra when resolution fails, letting ``do_install`` decide
whether to prompt, apply an override, or error out.
hermes_cli/skills_hub.py
- ``do_install`` gains a ``name_override`` parameter.
- On URL-sourced bundles with ``awaiting_name=True``:
1. If ``name_override`` is valid → use it.
2. If ``name_override`` is invalid → refuse with a clear error.
3. Else if ``skip_confirm=True`` (non-interactive: slash / TUI /
gateway / scripts) → refuse with an actionable retry hint pointing
at ``--name <your-name>`` on both CLI and slash forms.
4. Else (interactive TTY) → prompt for the name.
- Interactive TTY also prompts for a category when none is given for a
URL-sourced install, hinting existing category buckets so users can
reuse ``productivity``, ``devops``, etc. Empty input → flat install.
- ``_existing_categories()`` scans ``~/.hermes/skills/`` for subdirs that
look like category buckets (contain nested SKILL.md files); skips
top-level skills and hidden dirs.
- ``_prompt_for_skill_name()`` / ``_prompt_for_category()`` helpers
(EOF/Ctrl-C-safe, match the existing ``Confirm [y/N]`` prompt style).
hermes_cli/main.py
- ``hermes skills install`` argparse gains ``--name <name>``.
hermes_cli/skills_hub.py (slash)
- ``/skills install <url> --name <x>`` parsing added.
Tests
- tests/tools/test_skills_hub.py: updated ``UrlSource`` tests to assert
the new ``awaiting_name`` metadata; added 4 new tests for
``_is_valid_skill_name`` rejection sets and the awaiting-name marker.
- tests/hermes_cli/test_skills_hub.py: 8 new tests covering --name
override accept/reject, non-interactive error, interactive name prompt,
interactive category prompt, cancel-aborts-install, and
``_existing_categories`` scan behavior (buckets vs flat skills).
- E2E verified all four paths (no-name/no-override → error;
--name override → install; frontmatter name → install;
invalid --name → rejection).

_search_members() and _fetch_messages() call min(limit, 100) assuming
limit is int. Models can pass limit as a string (e.g. "10"), causing
TypeError: '<' not supported between instances of 'str' and 'int'.
Add try/except int() coercion with safe defaults at the top of both
functions, matching the pattern used in session_search fix (#10522).
`_resolve_effective_accept()` used `return bool(cfg_val)` for the
`hooks_auto_accept` config key. In Python, `bool("false")` is `True`,
so a user setting `hooks_auto_accept: "false"` (quoted YAML string)
in `config.yaml` would silently enable auto-approval of every shell
hook, bypassing the consent prompt entirely.
Replace the coercion with the same type-aware parsing already used for
the HERMES_ACCEPT_HOOKS env var three lines above: bool passthrough,
strings checked against {1,true,yes,on} case-insensitively, everything
else (including "false", None, 0, ints) rejected.
Add TestHooksAutoAcceptParsing guarding the regression across all four
value shapes (bool, string-truthy, string-falsy, missing/None).
Reported by @sprmn24 in #16244.
Follow-up on top of #16243. Two small tweaks:
- Compile the regex once as `_SAFE_IDENTIFIER_RE` and pin it to
`[A-Za-z0-9@.+\-]`. The previous `\w` accepts Unicode word chars
(full-width digits, accented letters) which aren't valid WhatsApp
identifiers and shouldn't reach the mapping-file lookup.
- Add a comment clarifying this is defense-in-depth, not a live
traversal. The hardcoded `lid-mapping-{current}{suffix}.json`
prefix already prevents escape via pathlib's component split —
with `current='../secrets'`, the first path component under
`session/` is the literal directory name `lid-mapping-..`,
which the attacker cannot create.
E2E verified: legit mapping chains still resolve, all probed attack
shapes (`../`, absolute paths, shell metacharacters, Unicode digit
tricks) are rejected before any file access.
expand_whatsapp_aliases() interpolated untrusted identifiers directly
into filenames (lid-mapping-{current}.json) without validation.
An identifier containing ../ or / could escape the session directory.
Also replaced bare except Exception: continue with targeted
(OSError, json.JSONDecodeError) and a debug log so mapping
corruption is diagnosable instead of silently skipped.
Fixes:
- Reject identifiers with unsafe characters via re.match guard
- Replace broad exception swallow with specific catch + debug log
Both get_provider_request_timeout() and get_provider_stale_timeout()
wrapped the load_config import in try/except ImportError but left the
actual load_config() call unprotected. A corrupt config file, YAML
parse error, or permission failure would raise instead of returning
None safely.
Move load_config() inside the try block so any exception returns None.
- remove the temporary -c MRU logic and companion test from this branch so PR #15926 stays focused on TUI perf work
- keep the resume-ordering change isolated in the dedicated follow-up PR
- drop unused TUI helpers, test-only layout scaffolding, and stale public debug exports
- remove an unused profiler import and trim test-only coverage for deleted helpers
- gateway handler: turnController always archives in recordMessageComplete,
so the post-complete archiveTodosAtTurnEnd().forEach is dead code. Drop
it and the now-unused import.
- turnController: collapse archive prepend into a single spread expression.
- gateway server: one-line comment for the tool.start todo skip.
Two bugs surfaced together while the model fired the todo tool:
1. Count flickered (e.g. 3 → 1 → 3) because tool.start echoed
args.todos as the live state. With merge=true (or any partial
replacement) args.todos is just the items being updated, not the
full list. Drop the early echo — tool.complete already carries the
canonical full list from the tool result.
2. After turn end the panel jumped from under the user prompt to below
thinking/tools because archiveDoneTodos() was pushed AFTER segments
in finalMessages. Prepend the archive trail msg so it sits right
after the user prompt — same visual slot the live panel occupied
during streaming.
CPU profiling showed the built TUI loading React development modules unless NODE_ENV was set. Default CLI and dashboard TUI children to production while preserving explicit user overrides.
Keep history metadata consistent with lineage replay, globally order replayed lineage messages, and make Ink cache eviction report post-eviction sizes. Also keys TUI config cache by path to avoid cross-home test leakage.
