BOOT.md was merged in PR #3733 before the feature was ready — the
built-in hook spawned a bare AIAgent() with no model/runtime kwargs,
which immediately 401s on any provider with a custom endpoint. Three
separate community PRs (#5240, #12514, #14992) tried to paper over it.
Remove the BOOT.md hook entirely and its user-facing docs/tips. Keep
the gateway/builtin_hooks/ package and the HookRegistry._register_builtin_hooks()
hook-point intact as the extension surface for future always-on
gateway hooks.
Closes#5239.

* perf(startup): lazy-import OpenAI, Anthropic, Firecrawl, account_usage
Four heavy SDK/module imports are now deferred off the hot startup path.
Net savings on cold module imports:
cli 1200 → 958 ms (-242)
run_agent 1220 → 901 ms (-319)
tools.web_tools 711 → 423 ms (-288)
agent.anthropic_adapter 230 → 15 ms (-215)
agent.auxiliary_client 253 → 68 ms (-185)
Four independent changes in one PR since they all use the same pattern
and share the same risk profile (heavy SDK import → lazy proxy or
function-local import):
1. tools/web_tools.py:
'from firecrawl import Firecrawl' moved into _get_firecrawl_client(),
which is only called when backend='firecrawl'. Users on Exa/Tavily/
Parallel pay zero firecrawl cost.
2. cli.py + gateway/run.py:
'from agent.account_usage import ...' moved into the /limits handlers.
account_usage transitively pulls the OpenAI SDK chain; only needed
when the user runs /limits.
3. agent/anthropic_adapter.py:
'try: import anthropic as _anthropic_sdk' replaced with a cached
'_get_anthropic_sdk()' accessor. The three usage sites
(build_anthropic_client, build_anthropic_bedrock_client,
read_claude_code_credentials_from_keychain) now resolve via the
accessor. All pre-existing test patches of
'agent.anthropic_adapter._anthropic_sdk' keep working because the
accessor respects any value already in module globals.
4. agent/auxiliary_client.py AND run_agent.py:
'from openai import OpenAI' replaced with an '_OpenAIProxy()' module-
level object that looks like the OpenAI class but imports the SDK on
first call/isinstance check. This preserves:
- 15+ in-module OpenAI(...) construction sites in auxiliary_client
and the single site in run_agent's _create_openai_client (Python's
function-scope name lookup finds the proxy, forwards the call);
- 'patch("agent.auxiliary_client.OpenAI", ...)' and
'patch("run_agent.OpenAI", ...)' test patterns used by 28+ test
files (patch replaces the module attribute as usual).
Tried two alternatives first:
- 'from openai._client import OpenAI' — doesn't skip openai/__init__.py
(the audit's hypothesis here was wrong).
- Module-level __getattr__ — works for external access but Python
function-scope name resolution skips __getattr__, so in-module
OpenAI(...) calls NameError.
Note: 'openai' still loads on 'import cli' because
cli.py -> neuter_async_httpx_del() -> openai._base_client, and
run_agent.py -> code_execution_tool.py (module-level
build_execute_code_schema) -> _load_config() -> 'from cli import
CLI_CONFIG'. Deferring those is a separate, larger change — out of scope
for this PR. The savings above all come from avoiding the openai/*,
anthropic/*, and firecrawl/* top-level type-tree imports on paths that
don't need them.
Verified:
- 302/302 tests in tests/agent/{test_anthropic_adapter,
test_bedrock_1m_context, test_minimax_provider, test_anthropic_keychain}
pass. Two pre-existing failures on main unchanged.
- 106/106 tests/agent/test_auxiliary_client.py pass (1 pre-existing fail).
- 97/97 tests/run_agent/test_create_openai_client_kwargs_isolation.py,
test_plugin_context_engine_init.py, test_invalid_context_length_warning.py,
test_api_max_retries_config.py,
tests/hermes_cli/test_gemini_provider.py, test_ollama_cloud_provider.py
pass (1 pre-existing fail).
- Live hermes chat smoke: 2 turns + /model switch + tool calls, zero
errors in the 57-line agent.log window.
- Module-level import of run_agent + auxiliary_client + anthropic_adapter
no longer pulls 'anthropic' or 'firecrawl' at all.
* fix(gateway): restore top-level account_usage import for test-patch surface
CI caught two failures in tests/gateway/test_usage_command.py that I
missed locally:
AttributeError: 'module' object at gateway.run has no attribute 'fetch_account_usage'
The test uses monkeypatch.setattr('gateway.run.fetch_account_usage', ...)
to inject a fake account-fetch call. Moving the import inside the
handler deleted that module-level attribute, breaking the patch surface.
Restoring the top-level import in gateway/run.py gives up the ~230 ms
gateway-boot savings from that one lazy, but:
1. the gateway is a long-running daemon — boot cost is paid once per
install, not per turn;
2. the other four lazy-imports (firecrawl, openai, anthropic, cli's
account_usage) remain in place and still account for the bulk of
the savings reported in the PR body;
3. preserving the patch surface keeps the established
'gateway.run.fetch_account_usage' monkeypatch pattern working
without touching tests.
Verified: tests/gateway/test_usage_command.py — 8 passed, 0 failed.
Full targeted sweep (2336 tests across agent/gateway/hermes_cli/run_agent):
2332 passed, 4 failed — all 4 pre-existing on main.

load_config() and read_raw_config() now cache their result keyed on
the config file's (mtime_ns, size). On cache hit they return a deepcopy
of the cached value, skipping yaml.safe_load + deep-merge + normalize +
env-var expansion entirely. save_config() + migrate_config() write via
atomic_yaml_write which produces a fresh inode, so stat() sees a new
mtime_ns and the next load repopulates automatically — no explicit
invalidation hook needed.
Measured per-call cost:
load_config() cold: 13.3 ms
load_config() cached: 0.23 ms (57x faster)
read_raw_config() cached: 0.13 ms
A single gateway turn hits the config 5-15 times (session context,
auxiliary client resolution, memory config, plugin hooks, approval
lookups, per-tool settings). That's 65-200 ms/turn of pure YAML
re-parsing on main. After this change: 1-3 ms/turn.
Also migrates gateway/run.py's 6 direct yaml.safe_load(config.yaml)
call sites through _load_gateway_config, which now shares the
read_raw_config cache when _hermes_home agrees with the canonical
config path. The direct-read fallback is retained for tests that
monkeypatch gateway_run._hermes_home without touching HERMES_HOME.
Safety:
- load_config() returns a deepcopy on every call; the 67+ call sites
that mutate the result (cfg["model"]["default"] = ..., etc.) can't
corrupt the cache.
- save_config() / atomic_yaml_write bump mtime, naturally invalidating
the cache for the next reader.
- Cache is keyed on str(config_path), so HERMES_HOME profile switches
don't collide.
Verified:
- 112 config tests pass (test_config, test_config_env_expansion,
test_config_env_refs, test_config_drift, test_config_validation,
test_aux_config).
- 87 gateway tests pass (test_verbose_command, test_session_info,
test_compress_focus, test_runtime_footer, test_resume_command,
test_reasoning_command, test_approve_deny_commands,
test_run_progress_interrupt).
- Live hermes chat smoke — 2 turns + /model switch + tool calls,
zero errors in agent.log.

Previously, check_browser_requirements() only checked for the agent-browser
CLI, not the Chromium binary it drives. When the CLI was present but
Chromium wasn't (common in Docker images predating the playwright install
step), the browser tool was advertised to the agent, every call hung for
the full command timeout (~30s each, ~220s for a chained navigate), and
the agent eventually gave up with no useful error — users saw 'browser
not working' with empty errors.log.
Changes:
- tools/browser_tool.py: add _chromium_installed() checking
PLAYWRIGHT_BROWSERS_PATH + default Playwright cache paths for
chromium-* / chromium_headless_shell-* dirs; wire into
check_browser_requirements() for local mode (cloud providers
unaffected). _run_browser_command fails fast with an actionable
Docker vs. host message instead of hanging. _running_in_docker()
checks /.dockerenv and /proc/1/cgroup.
- hermes_cli/tools_config.py: post_setup for 'Local Browser' now runs
'agent-browser install --with-deps' after npm install to actually
download Chromium. In Docker, points user at the updated image pull
instead of trying to install into a read-only layer. Cloud-provider
post_setup (browserbase) skips Chromium install entirely.
- tests/tools/test_browser_chromium_check.py: new tests covering
search roots, install detection, requirements branches (local/cloud/
camofox), and the fast-fail guard in docker/non-docker contexts.
- tests/tools/test_browser_homebrew_paths.py: 5 existing subprocess-path
tests now mock _chromium_installed=True since they exercise the
post-guard subprocess path.

Discord's per-app command-management bucket is ~5 writes / 20 s. A
mass-prune-plus-upsert reconcile (77 orphans + 30 desired = 107 writes
in the reported case) can't finish under the old flat 30 s budget, and
the subsequent reconnect retries inside the rate-limit cooldown also
time out — leaving slash commands broken for ~60 min until the bucket
fully recovers.
Bump the timeout to 600 s so realistic bursts drain, update the warning
message to point at the saturated bucket instead of a hardcoded 30 s.
The 600 s cap still guards against a true hang.

The telegram.reactions key was already wired up (gateway/config.py bridges
it to TELEGRAM_REACTIONS at startup) but was undocumented and missing from
DEFAULT_CONFIG, so users had no way to discover it. Add it with the
existing off-by-default behavior preserved.
No behavior change — runtime default stays False.

extraPackages adds packages to the systemd service PATH, but the
terminal backend's login-shell snapshot rebuilds PATH from NixOS system
profiles, so tools added via extraPackages are invisible to terminal
commands, skills, and cron jobs — the entire use case.
Changes:
- Mark the option description as deprecated with explanation
- Emit a NixOS warning when extraPackages is non-empty, including a
ready-to-paste environment.systemPackages replacement
- Update docs: quick-reference table, plugin example, and options
reference all point to environment.systemPackages
The option still functions (non-breaking) so existing configs keep
working while users migrate.
Auxiliary tasks (title_generation, vision, compression, web_extract,
session_search) now pick the correct wire protocol based on the
endpoint, not just on which resolve_provider_client branch built the
client. Fixes 404s on Kimi Coding Plan and any other named provider
whose endpoint speaks Anthropic Messages.
Root cause: the 'api_key' branch of resolve_provider_client (and the
Step 2 fallback chain inside _resolve_auto) always built a plain
OpenAI client regardless of what the endpoint actually spoke. For
provider=kimi-coding + model=kimi-for-coding, that meant:
POST https://api.kimi.com/coding/v1/chat/completions
{ "model": "kimi-for-coding", ... }
→ 404 resource_not_found_error
The /coding route only accepts the Anthropic Messages shape (the main
agent already uses api_mode=anthropic_messages for it). Earlier fixes
(#16819, #22ddac4b1) patched the anonymous-custom, named-custom, and
external-process branches — but the named api_key branch (kimi-coding,
minimax, zai, future /anthropic providers) was the fourth sibling and
never got the same treatment.
Fix: one module-level helper _maybe_wrap_anthropic() that rewraps a
plain OpenAI client in AnthropicAuxiliaryClient when:
- api_mode is explicitly 'anthropic_messages', OR
- the URL ends in '/anthropic', OR
- the host is api.kimi.com + path contains '/coding', OR
- the host is api.anthropic.com.
Wired into _wrap_if_needed (covers all resolve_provider_client
branches that already go through it) and into the Step 2 api_key
fallback chain inside _resolve_auto. Explicit api_mode still wins:
passing api_mode='chat_completions' forces OpenAI wire, and already-
wrapped specialized adapters (Codex, Gemini native, CopilotACP) pass
through unchanged.
E2E verified:
- resolve_provider_client('kimi-coding', 'kimi-for-coding')
→ AnthropicAuxiliaryClient (was plain OpenAI, which 404'd)
- _resolve_auto Step 1 for kimi-coding runtime → AnthropicAuxiliaryClient
- resolve_provider_client('openrouter', ...) → plain OpenAI (no regression)
- api_mode='chat_completions' override → plain OpenAI (explicit wins)
Tests:
- tests/agent/test_auxiliary_transport_autodetect.py (new): 21 tests
covering URL detection, wrap decisions, and integration.
- 204/205 existing auxiliary tests pass (1 pre-existing failure on
main, unrelated to this change).

Append a compact 'model · 68% · ~/projects/hermes' footer to the FINAL
message of each turn, disabled by default (display.runtime_footer.enabled).
Answers the Telegram-side parity ask: runtime context that the CLI status
bar already shows is now available in messaging replies when enabled.
Wiring:
- gateway/runtime_footer.py: resolve_footer_config + format_runtime_footer +
build_footer_line. Pure-function renderer; per-platform overrides under
display.platforms.<platform>.runtime_footer.
- gateway/run.py: appends footer to response right after reasoning prepend
so it lands only on the final message (never tool progress or streaming
chunks). When streaming already delivered the body (already_sent), the
footer is sent as a small trailing message instead.
- agent_result now exposes context_length alongside last_prompt_tokens so
the footer can compute the pct; both gateway return paths updated.
- /footer [on|off|status] slash command, wired in CLI (cli.py) and gateway
(gateway/run.py both running-agent bypass and main dispatch). Global
toggle only; per-platform overrides via config.yaml.
Graceful degradation:
- Missing context_length (unknown model) → pct field silently dropped
(no '?%' artifact).
- Empty final_response → no footer appended.
- Unknown field names in config → silently ignored.
Tests: 25-case unit suite (tests/gateway/test_runtime_footer.py) plus E2E
harness covering streaming vs non-streaming branches, per-platform override,
and the exact argument contract gateway/run.py uses.

Mechanical cleanup across 43 files — removes 46 unused imports
(F401) and 14 unused local variables (F841) detected by
`ruff check --select F401,F841`. Net: -49 lines.
Also fixes a latent NameError in rl_cli.py where `get_hermes_home()`
was called at module line 32 before its import at line 65 — the
module never imported successfully on main. The ruff audit surfaced
this because it correctly saw the symbol as imported-but-unused
(the call happened before the import ran); the fix moves the import
to the top of the file alongside other stdlib imports.
One `# noqa: F401` kept in hermes_cli/status.py for `subprocess`:
tests monkeypatch `hermes_cli.status.subprocess` as a regression
guard that systemctl isn't called on Termux, so the name must
exist at module scope even though the module body doesn't reference
it. Docstring explains the reason.
Also fixes an invalid `# noqa:` directive in
gateway/platforms/discord.py:308 that lacked a rule code.

The contributor's PR (#16750) scoped the fix to run_setup_wizard() and
explicitly punted the two sibling sites. Both have the identical
[ -e /dev/tty ] pattern followed by a < /dev/tty redirect and crash in
Docker the same way:
- scripts/install.sh:732 install_system_packages() -- apt sudo prompt
fallback. sudo ... < /dev/tty dies with the same ENXIO.
- scripts/install.sh:1395 maybe_start_gateway() -- gateway-install gate,
same function path as the wizard reproducer.
Fix both with the same (: </dev/tty) 2>/dev/null probe, and parametrize
the regression test over all three gated functions so any future
regression is caught regardless of which site breaks.
Address the three Copilot inline findings on the regression test:
- Switch _extract_run_setup_wizard() from str.index() with hard-coded
markers (which raises ValueError if `maybe_start_gateway()` is renamed
or the marker leaks into a comment) to an anchored regex on the
function-definition + closing-brace boundaries.
- Match `[ -e /dev/tty ]` with surrounding whitespace, optional quoting,
and the `test -e /dev/tty` form so the regression guard catches every
spelling of the existence-only check, not just the exact substring.
- Replace the literal `(: </dev/tty)` substring assertion with a
higher-level invariant — the gate must be an `if`/`if !` whose test
redirects stdin from /dev/tty — so equivalent open-based probes
(`exec 3</dev/tty` + close, brace-grouped variants, etc.) keep the
test green while the bare existence check stays caught.
Verified guard: both tests still pass on the fix and both fail on
`origin/main` with the documented messages.

In Docker builds the `/dev/tty` device node is present in the mount
namespace, so `[ -e /dev/tty ]` returns true — but opening it fails
with `ENXIO: No such device or address`. Under the old gate the
"no terminal available" skip never triggered, the setup wizard ran,
and the build aborted a few lines later when bash tried `< /dev/tty`:
/tmp/install.sh: line 1347: /dev/tty: No such device or address
Replace the existence check with `(: </dev/tty) 2>/dev/null`, which
actually attempts to open /dev/tty in a subshell. The probe succeeds
when piped from `curl | bash` on a real terminal (the wizard's intended
use case) and fails cleanly in Docker build / CI contexts so the skip
kicks in before the redirect can crash.
Add a regression test that statically asserts run_setup_wizard does not
gate on the bare existence check and that the open-based probe is in
place.
Fixes#16746.

delegate_task runs inside the parent turn and is cancelled when the parent is interrupted (new user message, /stop, /new). The child status payload (status=interrupted, exit_reason=interrupted) is already honest, but the tool schema and user-facing docs did not set the expectation, so users reasonably assumed delegated subagents would keep running in the background after interrupting the parent.
Updates:
- tools/delegate_tool.py DELEGATE_TASK_SCHEMA description adds a WHEN NOT TO USE bullet pointing at cronjob / terminal(background=True, notify_on_complete=True) for durable long-running work.
- website/docs/user-guide/features/delegation.md gains a Lifetime and Durability callout above Key Properties.
- website/docs/guides/delegation-patterns.md expands the Use something else list and the Constraints section with the same guidance.

The gateway caches one AIAgent per session to preserve prompt-cache hits,
keyed by _agent_config_signature(). The signature previously only
fingerprinted model/credentials/toolsets/ephemeral-prompt — NOT the
compression or context_length config. As a result, users who edited
model.context_length or compression.threshold in config.yaml on a
long-lived gateway saw no effect until they triggered an unrelated
cache eviction (/model switch, /reset, gateway restart).
Add a new cache_keys parameter to _agent_config_signature and a
_CACHE_BUSTING_CONFIG_KEYS registry listing config values the agent
bakes in at construction time. Call sites read the current config and
pass it through — next gateway message with an edited config
rebuilds the agent.
Keys registered:
- model.context_length
- compression.enabled
- compression.threshold
- compression.target_ratio
- compression.protect_last_n
Reported by @OP (Apr 26 feedback bundle).
## Changes
- gateway/run.py: new _CACHE_BUSTING_CONFIG_KEYS tuple,
_extract_cache_busting_config classmethod, cache_keys kwarg on
_agent_config_signature, call site passes the extracted dict
- tests/gateway/test_agent_cache.py: 11 new tests
(5 on _agent_config_signature behavior, 6 on _extract_cache_busting_config)

Network errors through proxies (e.g. sing-box) can leave httpx
connections in a half-closed state occupying pool slots. After enough
reconnect cycles the 256-connection default fills up entirely, causing
Pool timeout: All connections in the connection pool are occupied.
Fix: cycle only the getUpdates request object (_request[0]) via
shut-down + re-initialize before restarting polling. This drains stale
connections without touching the general request (_request[1]) that
concurrent send_message / edit_message calls rely on.
The drain is applied to both _handle_polling_network_error and
_handle_polling_conflict reconnect paths via a shared
_drain_polling_connections() helper. Failures in the drain are
swallowed so reconnect always proceeds.
Based on #16466 by @Mirac1eSky.
Auxiliary callers that configure reasoning via
auxiliary.<task>.extra_body.reasoning were having that config silently
dropped by the Codex Responses adapter — it only forwarded
messages/model/tools through to responses.stream(), never translating
chat.completions-shaped reasoning hints into the Responses API's
top-level reasoning + include fields.
Mirror the main-agent translation from agent/transports/codex.py:
- extra_body.reasoning.effort → resp_kwargs.reasoning.{effort, summary:"auto"}
- 'minimal' → 'low' clamp (Codex backend rejects 'minimal')
- Always include ['reasoning.encrypted_content'] when reasoning is enabled
- {'enabled': False} → omit reasoning and include entirely
- Non-dict reasoning values are ignored defensively
Reported by @OP (Apr 26 feedback bundle).
## Changes
- agent/auxiliary_client.py: _CodexCompletionsAdapter.create() now reads
and translates extra_body.reasoning before calling responses.stream()
- tests/agent/test_auxiliary_client.py: 9 new tests covering all effort
levels, the minimal→low clamp, the disabled path, the no-op paths,
and defensive handling of wrong-shape inputs

The gateway session-hygiene pre-compression safety valve had a hardcoded
400-message threshold. On long-lived sessions with short turns this was
either too high (users with aggressive compression preferences) or too
low (users with very large context models who want to keep more history
in-flight).
Add compression.hygiene_hard_message_limit (default 400) so it can be
tuned without forking the gateway.
Reported by @OP (Apr 26 feedback bundle).
## Changes
- hermes_cli/config.py: new DEFAULT_CONFIG key with 400 default
- gateway/run.py: read compression.hygiene_hard_message_limit at
hygiene-time, fall back to 400 if missing/invalid
- tests/gateway/test_session_hygiene.py: two tests — override fires at
the configured limit, default does not fire below 400

When openai-codex tokens expire or the ChatGPT account hits a 429
window, the pool entry gets marked STATUS_EXHAUSTED with
last_error_reset_at many hours in the future. If the user then runs
`hermes model` / `hermes auth openai-codex` to reauth, fresh tokens
land in ~/.hermes/auth.json but the pool entry stayed frozen behind
its reset_at — every request kept failing with 'credential pool: no
available entries (all exhausted or empty)' until the original window
elapsed.
_available_entries() already had auth.json/credentials-file resync
branches for anthropic/claude_code and nous/device_code; openai-codex
was missing. Added _sync_codex_entry_from_auth_store() mirroring the
nous version (reads state["tokens"][{access,refresh}_token] +
state["last_refresh"]) and wired it into the exhausted-entry resync
loop.
Also softens the 'codex CLI not found' doctor warning — native
device-code OAuth does not require the Codex binary, only
importing existing Codex CLI tokens does. Downgraded to an info line.
Reported on Discord by p1aceho1der: Codex stalled indefinitely after
a rate-limit reset, reauth didn't help, and doctor falsely warned
that the codex CLI was required.

Gemini 3 Flash documents low/medium/high as the accepted thinkingLevel
values. The salvaged bridge was forwarding Hermes' "minimal" effort to
Flash verbatim, which is not a documented Gemini level and risks a 400
from the native adapter.
Clamp minimal->low on Flash (matching how Pro already clamps minimal+low
down), and funnel anything outside {low, medium, high} into medium to
keep the request valid by construction. No behaviour change for the
documented effort levels.
Telegram has no native table syntax. The gateway auto-rewrites pipe
tables into row-group bullets (see previous commit), but letting models
know up front means they emit the clean form directly instead of
relying on post-processing to synthesize headings.
Also helps users whose MEMORY.md formatting policies were being
overridden — the platform hint now carries the guidance.
The rate-limit branch added by the original PR did sleep+continue with
no attempt to record the last error, so persistent iLink -2 responses
exhausted the retry loop and hit 'assert last_error is not None',
raising AssertionError instead of a descriptive RuntimeError.
Record last_error = RuntimeError(...) before continuing, and break out
of the loop on the final attempt instead of sleeping uselessly.
- Change MAX_MESSAGE_LENGTH from 4000 to 2000 to match Weixin iLink API limit
- Add RATE_LIMIT_ERRCODE = -2 handling with 3x backoff retry
- Increase default send_chunk_delay_seconds from 0.35 to 1.5 to avoid rate limits
- Increase default send_chunk_retries from 2 to 4 for better reliability
- Use _split_text() in send() to chunk long messages before delivery

Add tests/test_cli_manual_compress.py verifying _manual_compress passes
None (not the cached system prompt) to _compress_context, forwards the
/compress <topic> focus string, rotates CLI session_id to the new child
session, and clears the pending title.

_manual_compress() passed self.agent._cached_system_prompt to
_compress_context() as the system_message argument. _compress_context
calls _build_system_prompt(system_message), which appends system_message
to prompt_parts that already contain the agent identity block — causing
the identity to appear twice in the new session's system prompt
(20,957 -> 42,303 chars, +102% as reported in issue #15281).
Fix: pass None instead of _cached_system_prompt. _build_system_prompt(None)
rebuilds the system prompt correctly from scratch without appending a
pre-built prompt on top of the identity layers.
Fixes#15281
Follow-up to PR #16802 (BeliefanX). The original fix read
`agent_history[-1].get("timestamp")` for the tool-tail freshness gate,
but `gateway/run.py` strips the `timestamp` field off all tool/tool_call
rows when building `agent_history` from the raw transcript (see
`clean_msg = {k: v for k, v in msg.items() if k != "timestamp"}`). At
runtime the tool-tail branch always saw `None` and silently took the
legacy-fresh path — the stale-guard never fired for the tool-tail case
it was supposed to cover.
Changes:
- Read the freshness signal from the RAW `history` list (via new
`_last_transcript_timestamp()` helper) BEFORE the strip. Both the
resume_pending branch and the tool-tail branch use this single signal,
replacing the two divergent ones.
- Default window bumped 15 min → 1 hour via new
`_AUTO_CONTINUE_FRESHNESS_SECS_DEFAULT`. The 15-minute default was
shorter than the default `gateway_timeout` of 30 min, so a legitimate
long-running turn interrupted near its timeout boundary and resumed
shortly after would have been misclassified as stale.
- Configurable via `config.yaml` `agent.gateway_auto_continue_freshness`
(bridged to `HERMES_AUTO_CONTINUE_FRESHNESS` at gateway startup — same
pattern as `gateway_timeout`). Set to 0 to disable the gate.
- `_coerce_gateway_timestamp` now explicitly rejects bool (which is a
subclass of int and would otherwise coerce to 0.0/1.0).
- Tests rewritten to exercise the real production data shape: raw
`history` → `_build_agent_history` strip → freshness decision. A
regression guard (`test_stale_tool_tail_with_production_data_shape`)
asserts `agent_history` tool rows carry NO timestamp, protecting
against someone "fixing" the original bug by re-adding the stripped
field (which would break the OpenAI tool-result message contract).
Add BeliefanX to scripts/release.py AUTHOR_MAP.
E2E verified: config.yaml → env var bridge → helper returns configured
value; default 1h window; malformed/empty env var falls back to default;
ISO-Z timestamps parse; ms-epoch coerced; bool rejected.
Extract the islink/realpath guard from the 16743 fix into a single
atomic_replace() helper in utils.py, then migrate every os.replace()
call site in the codebase to use it.
The original PR #16777 correctly identified and fixed the bug, but
only patched 9 of ~24 call sites. The same bug class (managed
deployments that symlink state files silently losing the link on
every write) still existed at auth.json, sessions file, gateway
config, env_loader, webhook subscriptions, debug store, model
catalog, pairing, google OAuth, nous rate guard, and more.
Rather than add another 10+ copies of the same three-line guard,
consolidate into atomic_replace(tmp, target) which:
- resolves symlinks via os.path.realpath before os.replace
- returns the resolved real path so callers can re-apply permissions
- is a drop-in replacement for os.replace at the use sites
Changes:
- utils.py: new atomic_replace() helper + atomic_json_write /
atomic_yaml_write now call it instead of inlining the guard
- 16 files: all os.replace() call sites migrated to atomic_replace()
- agent/{google_oauth, nous_rate_guard, shell_hooks}.py
- cron/jobs.py
- gateway/{pairing, session, platforms/telegram}.py
- hermes_cli/{auth, config, debug, env_loader, model_catalog, webhook}.py
- tools/{memory_tool, skill_manager_tool, skills_sync}.py
Tests: tests/test_atomic_replace_symlinks.py pins the invariant for
atomic_replace + atomic_json_write + atomic_yaml_write, covers plain
files, first-time creates, broken symlinks, and permission preservation.

Builds on #16777 by @vominh1919.
os.replace(tmp, path) replaces the symlink itself with a regular file,
breaking users who symlink config.yaml, SOUL.md, or .env from ~/.hermes/
to a dotfiles repo or managed profile package.
Fix: resolve symlinks via os.path.realpath() before os.replace(), so the
real file is overwritten in-place while the symlink survives.
Fixed in 7 files covering all os.replace call sites:
- utils.py (atomic_json_write, atomic_yaml_write — fixes save_config)
- hermes_cli/config.py (env sanitizer, save_env_value, remove_env_value)
- tools/skill_manager_tool.py (_atomic_write_text — SOUL.md writes)
- tools/memory_tool.py (memory file writes)
- tools/skills_sync.py (manifest writes)
- cron/jobs.py (job state + output file writes)
- agent/shell_hooks.py (hook file writes)

Real OpenClaw configs key agents.defaults.models by full provider/model
API ID with an 'alias' field on the value (e.g.
{'anthropic/claude-opus-4-6': {'alias': 'Claude Opus 4.6'}}). Add
regression tests for issue #16745 covering:
- reverse-lookup of alias against real schema (keyed by API ID)
- alias resolution when model is a bare string vs {'primary': ...}
- passthrough when the value is already a provider/model API ID
- passthrough when the alias has no catalog match
- string-valued catalog entries (belt-and-suspenders)
- no catalog at all
`hermes claw migrate` copied OpenClaw's model setting verbatim, which
could be a display alias (e.g. "Claude Opus 4.6") instead of the actual
API ID (e.g. "claude-opus-4-6"). Hermes then sent the alias to the API,
causing HTTP 404 model not found.
Fix: look up the model string in agents.defaults.models (plural) alias
catalog. If found, use the resolved "id" field, prepending the provider
prefix if needed. If not found (already an API ID), pass through unchanged.

DeepSeek API returns HTTP 400 with 'Insufficient Balance' message when
account funds are depleted. This pattern was not in _BILLING_PATTERNS,
causing the error to be misclassified instead of triggering billing
exhaustion handling (e.g., fallback to alternate provider).
Suggested by teknium1 in PR review of #15586.
Adds tools.schema_sanitizer.strip_nullable_unions as the single
implementation for collapsing anyOf/oneOf nullable unions. Both the
MCP input-schema normalizer and the Anthropic tool-schema guard now
delegate to it instead of re-implementing the same walk three times.
The global sanitizer also gains a final pass so any tool that slips
past the two earlier hooks (plugin tools, non-MCP custom tools with
Pydantic-shaped schemas) still gets safe input_schemas on Anthropic.
- tools/schema_sanitizer.py:
* New public strip_nullable_unions(schema, keep_nullable_hint=True).
* _sanitize_single_tool() calls it as a final pass (hint preserved
so coerce_tool_args can still map string "null" to None).
- tools/mcp_tool.py: _normalize_mcp_input_schema delegates.
- agent/anthropic_adapter.py: _normalize_tool_input_schema delegates
with keep_nullable_hint=False (Anthropic does not recognize nullable).
No behavioral change for the fix itself; tests (73/73 targeted +
E2E across MCP→sanitizer→Anthropic paths) pass.
25 new tests (all Bedrock API calls mocked, no real AWS creds needed):
tests/hermes_cli/test_bedrock_model_picker.py (20 tests):
- provider_model_ids("bedrock") uses live discovery, returns regional
model IDs, falls back gracefully on empty/exception, resolves all
bedrock aliases (aws, aws-bedrock, amazon-bedrock) to live discovery
- list_authenticated_providers() section 2: bedrock appears with AWS
creds, model list from discover_bedrock_models(), total_models
matches, is_current flag works, absent creds hides bedrock, discovery
failure does not crash, no duplicate entries
- Region routing: botocore profile eu-central-1 yields eu.* model IDs
end-to-end; env var takes priority over botocore profile
- providers.py overlay: exists with correct transport/auth_type, label
is non-empty, all aliases normalize to bedrock
tests/agent/test_bedrock_adapter.py (5 tests):
- resolve_bedrock_region() botocore profile fallback, botocore failure
fallback, us-east-1 hard fallback (with botocore mocked)
provider_model_ids("bedrock") fell through to a static _PROVIDER_MODELS
table containing only hardcoded us.* model IDs. Users configured for
non-US AWS regions (eu-central-1, ap-northeast-1, etc.) saw wrong or no
models in /model and autocomplete.
Root causes fixed:
1. models.py: provider_model_ids() now calls discover_bedrock_models()
keyed by the resolved region before falling back to the static table.
A new bedrock_model_ids_or_none() helper in bedrock_adapter.py
consolidates the discover -> extract IDs -> fallback pattern used by
all three call sites.
2. providers.py: registers bedrock in HERMES_OVERLAYS with
transport=bedrock_converse and auth_type=aws_sdk so
get_provider("bedrock") and resolve_provider_full("bedrock") work.
3. model_switch.py: list_authenticated_providers() sections 2 and 3
detect AWS credentials via has_aws_credentials() for aws_sdk
overlays and use live discovery for the model list.
4. bedrock_adapter.py: resolve_bedrock_region() reads the configured
region from botocore.session before falling back to us-east-1,
covering users who set their region in ~/.aws/config via a named
profile rather than env vars.
5. tui_gateway/server.py: passes provider= to get_model_context_length()
so context window lookups work correctly for the Bedrock provider.
