-# the new SHA and release notes; we review and merge like any other PR.
-#
-# Security-update PRs for source dependencies (opened ONLY when a CVE is
-# published affecting a currently-pinned version) are enabled separately
-# via the repo's Dependabot security updates setting
-# (Settings → Code security → Dependabot → Dependabot security updates).
-# Those are CVE-only, not schedule-driven, and do not conflict with our

-## TypeScript Style
-
-Applies to TypeScript across Hermes: desktop, TUI, website, and future TS packages.
-
-- Prefer small nanostores over component state when state is shared, reused, or read by distant UI.
-- Let each feature own its atoms. Chat state belongs near chat, shell state near shell, shared state in `src/store`.
-- Components that render from an atom should use `useStore`. Non-rendering actions should read with `$atom.get()`.
-- Do not pass state through three components when the leaf can subscribe to the atom.
-- Keep persistence beside the atom that owns it.
-- Keep route roots thin. They compose routes and shell; they should not become controllers.
-- No monolithic hooks. A hook should own one narrow job.
-- Prefer colocated action modules over hidden god hooks.
-- If a callback is pure side effect, use the terse void form:
-  `onState={st => void setGatewayState(st)}`.
-- Async UI handlers should make intent explicit:
-  `onClick={() => void save()}`.
-- Prefer interfaces for public props and shared object shapes. Avoid `type X = { ... }` for object props.
-- Extend React primitives for props: `React.ComponentProps<'button'>`, `React.ComponentProps<typeof Dialog>`, `Omit<...>`, `Pick<...>`.
-- Table-driven beats condition ladders when mapping ids, routes, or views.
-- `src/app` owns routes, pages, and page-specific components.
-- `src/store` owns shared atoms.
-- `src/lib` owns shared pure helpers.

-platforms inherit from.
-
-Current toolset keys: `browser`, `clarify`, `code_execution`, `cronjob`,

-`feishu_drive`, `file`, `homeassistant`, `image_gen`, `kanban`, `memory`,

-
----
-
-## Delegation (`delegate_task`)
-
-`tools/delegate_tool.py` spawns a subagent with an isolated
-context + terminal session. Synchronous: the parent waits for the
-child's summary before continuing its own loop — if the parent is
-interrupted, the child is cancelled.
-
-Two shapes:
-
-- **Single:** pass `goal` (+ optional `context`, `toolsets`).
-- **Batch (parallel):** pass `tasks: [...]` — each gets its own subagent
-  running concurrently. Concurrency is capped by
-  `delegation.max_concurrent_children` (default 3).
-
-Roles:
-
-- `role="leaf"` (default) — focused worker. Cannot call `delegate_task`,
-  `clarify`, `memory`, `send_message`, `execute_code`.
-- `role="orchestrator"` — retains `delegate_task` so it can spawn its
-  own workers. Gated by `delegation.orchestrator_enabled` (default true)
-  and bounded by `delegation.max_spawn_depth` (default 2).
-
-Key config knobs (under `delegation:` in `config.yaml`):
-`max_concurrent_children`, `max_spawn_depth`, `child_timeout_seconds`,
-`orchestrator_enabled`, `subagent_auto_approve`, `inherit_mcp_toolsets`,
-`max_iterations`.
-
-Synchronicity rule: delegate_task is **not** durable. For long-running
-work that must outlive the current turn, use `cronjob` or
-`terminal(background=True, notify_on_complete=True)` instead.
-
----
-
-## Curator (skill lifecycle)
-
-Background skill-maintenance system that tracks usage on agent-created
-skills and auto-archives stale ones. Users never lose skills; archives
-go to `~/.hermes/skills/.archive/` and are restorable.
-
-- **Core:** `agent/curator.py` (review loop, auto-transitions, LLM review
-  prompt) + `agent/curator_backup.py` (pre-run tar.gz snapshots).
-- **CLI:** `hermes_cli/curator.py` wires `hermes curator <verb>` where
-  verbs are: `status`, `run`, `pause`, `resume`, `pin`, `unpin`,
-  `archive`, `restore`, `prune`, `backup`, `rollback`.
-- **Telemetry:** `tools/skill_usage.py` owns the sidecar
-  `~/.hermes/skills/.usage.json` — per-skill `use_count`, `view_count`,
-  `patch_count`, `last_activity_at`, `state` (active / stale /
-  archived), `pinned`.
-
-Invariants:
-- Curator only touches skills with `created_by: "agent"` provenance —
-  bundled + hub-installed skills are off-limits.
-- Never deletes; max destructive action is archive.
-- Pinned skills are exempt from every auto-transition and from the
-  LLM review pass.
-- `skill_manage(action="delete")` refuses pinned skills; patch/edit/
-  write_file/remove_file go through so the agent can keep improving
-  pinned skills.
-
-Config section (`curator:` in `config.yaml`):
-`enabled`, `interval_hours`, `min_idle_hours`, `stale_after_days`,
-`archive_after_days`, `backup.*`.

-## Cron (scheduled jobs)
-
-`cron/jobs.py` (job store) + `cron/scheduler.py` (tick loop). Agents
-schedule jobs via the `cronjob` tool; users via `hermes cron <verb>`
-(`list`, `add`, `edit`, `pause`, `resume`, `run`, `remove`) or the
-`/cron` slash command.
-
-Supported schedule formats:
-- Duration: `"30m"`, `"2h"`, `"1d"`
-- "every" phrase: `"every 2h"`, `"every monday 9am"`
-- 5-field cron expression: `"0 9 * * *"`
-- ISO timestamp (one-shot): `"2026-06-01T09:00:00Z"`
-
-Per-job fields include `skills` (load specific skills), `model` /
-`provider` overrides, `script` (pre-run data-collection script whose
-stdout is injected into the prompt; `no_agent=True` turns the script
-into the entire job), `context_from` (chain job A's last output into
-job B's prompt), `workdir` (run in a specific directory with its
-`AGENTS.md`/`CLAUDE.md` loaded), and multi-platform delivery.
-
-Hardening invariants:
-- **3-minute hard interrupt** on cron sessions — runaway agent loops
-  cannot monopolize the scheduler.
-- Catchup window: half the job's period, clamped to 120s–2h.
-- Grace window: 120s for one-shot jobs whose fire time was missed.
-- File lock at `~/.hermes/cron/.tick.lock` prevents duplicate ticks
-  across processes.
-- Cron sessions pass `skip_memory=True` by default; memory providers
-  intentionally do not run during cron.
-
-Cron deliveries are **not** mirrored into the target gateway session —
-they land in their own cron session with a header/footer frame so the
-main conversation's message-role alternation stays intact.
-
----
-
-## Kanban (multi-agent work queue)
-
-Durable SQLite-backed board that lets multiple profiles / workers
-collaborate on shared tasks. Users drive it via `hermes kanban <verb>`;
-workers spawned by the dispatcher drive it via a dedicated `kanban_*`
-toolset so their schema footprint is zero when they're not inside a
-kanban task.
-
-- **CLI:** `hermes_cli/kanban.py` wires `hermes kanban` with verbs
-  `init`, `create`, `list` (alias `ls`), `show`, `assign`, `link`,
-  `unlink`, `comment`, `complete`, `block`, `unblock`, `archive`,
-  `tail`, plus less-commonly-used `watch`, `stats`, `runs`, `log`,
-  `assignees`, `heartbeat`, `notify-*`, `dispatch`, `daemon`, `gc`.
-- **Worker toolset:** `tools/kanban_tools.py` exposes `kanban_show`,
-  `kanban_complete`, `kanban_block`, `kanban_heartbeat`, `kanban_comment`,
-  `kanban_create`, `kanban_link` — gated by `HERMES_KANBAN_TASK` so
-  the schema only appears for processes actually running as a worker.
-- **Dispatcher:** long-lived loop that (default every 60s) reclaims
-  stale claims, promotes ready tasks, atomically claims, and spawns
-  assigned profiles. Runs **inside the gateway** by default via
-  `kanban.dispatch_in_gateway: true`.
-- **Plugin assets:** `plugins/kanban/dashboard/` (web UI) +
-  `plugins/kanban/systemd/` (`hermes-kanban-dispatcher.service` for
-  standalone dispatcher deployment).
-
-Isolation model:
-- **Board** is the hard boundary — workers are spawned with
-  `HERMES_KANBAN_BOARD` pinned in their env so they can't see other
-  boards.
-- **Tenant** is a soft namespace *within* a board — one specialist
-  fleet can serve multiple businesses with workspace-path + memory-key
-  isolation.
-- After ~5 consecutive spawn failures on the same task the dispatcher
-  auto-blocks it to prevent spin loops.

-> The Curator release — Hermes Agent now maintains itself. An autonomous background Curator grades, prunes, and consolidates your skill library on its own schedule. The self-improvement loop that reviews what to save got a substantial upgrade. Four new inference providers, a 18th messaging platform, a 19th via Teams plugin, native Spotify + Google Meet integrations, ComfyUI and TouchDesigner-MCP moved from optional to bundled-by-default, and a ~57% cut to visible TUI cold start.

-## ✨ Highlights
-
-- **Autonomous Curator** — `hermes curator` runs as a background agent on the gateway's cron ticker (7-day cycle default). It grades your skill library, consolidates related skills, prunes dead ones, and writes per-run reports to `logs/curator/run.json` + `REPORT.md`. Archived skills are classified consolidated-vs-pruned via model + heuristic. Defense-in-depth gates protect bundled/hub skills from mutation. Unified under `auxiliary.curator` — pick the curator's model in `hermes model`, manage it from the dashboard. `hermes curator status` ranks skills by usage (most-used / least-used). ([#17277](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17277), [#17307](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17307), [#17941](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17941), [#17868](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17868), [#18033](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/18033))
-
-- **Self-improvement loop — substantially upgraded** — The background review fork (the core of Hermes' self-improvement: after each turn it decides what memories/skills to save or update) is now class-first (rubric-based rather than free-form), active-update biased (prefers the skill the agent just loaded), handles `references/`/`templates/` sub-files, and properly inherits the parent's live runtime (provider, model, credentials actually propagate). Restricted to memory + skills toolsets so it can't sprawl. Memory providers shut down cleanly. Prior-turn tool messages excluded from the summary so the fork sees a clean context. ([#16026](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16026), [#17213](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17213), [#16099](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16099), [#16569](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16569), [#16204](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16204), [#15057](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/15057))
-
-- **Skill integrations — major expansion** — **ComfyUI v5** with official CLI + REST + hardware-gated local install, moved from optional to **built-in by default** ([#17610](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17610), [#17631](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17631), [#17734](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17734)). **TouchDesigner-MCP** bundled by default, expanded with GLSL, post-FX, audio, geometry, and 9 new reference docs ([#16753](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16753), [#16624](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16624), [#16768](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16768) — @kshitijk4poor + @SHL0MS). **Humanizer** skill ports a text-cleaner that strips AI-isms ([#16787](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16787)). **claude-design** HTML artifact skill + design-md (Google DESIGN.md spec) + airtable salvage + `skill_manage` edits in `external_dirs` + direct-URL skill install + `/reload-skills` slash command. ([#16358](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16358), [#14876](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/14876), [#16291](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16291), [#17512](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17512), [#16323](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16323), [#17744](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17744))
-
-- **LM Studio — first-class provider** — upgraded from a custom-endpoint alias to a full-blown native provider: dedicated auth, `hermes doctor` checks, reasoning transport, live `/models` listing. (Salvage of @kshitijk4poor's #17061.) ([#17102](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17102))
-
-- **Four more new inference providers** — **GMI Cloud** (first-class, salvage of #11955 — @isaachuangGMICLOUD), **Azure AI Foundry** with auto-detection, **MiniMax OAuth** with PKCE browser flow (salvage #15203), **Tencent Tokenhub** (salvage of #16860).

-
-- **Pluggable gateway platforms + Microsoft Teams** — the gateway is now a plugin host. Drop-in messaging adapters live outside the core, and Microsoft Teams is the first plugin-shipped platform. (Salvage of #17664.) ([#17751](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17751), [#17828](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17828))
-
-- **Tencent 元宝 (Yuanbao) — 18th messaging platform** — native gateway adapter with text + media delivery. ([#16298](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16298), [#17424](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17424))
-
-- **Spotify — native tools + bundled skill + wizard** — 7 tools (play, search, queue, playlists, devices) behind PKCE OAuth, interactive setup wizard, bundled skill, surfacing in `hermes tools`, cron usage documented. ([#15121](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/15121), [#15130](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/15130), [#15154](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/15154), [#15180](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/15180))

-- **Google Meet plugin** — join calls, transcribe, speak, follow up. Realtime OpenAI transport + Node bot server, full pipeline bundled as a plugin. ([#16364](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16364))
-
-- **`hermes -z` one-shot mode + `hermes update --check`** — non-interactive `hermes -z <prompt>` with `--model`/`--provider`/`HERMES_INFERENCE_MODEL`. `hermes update --check` preflight. Opt-in pre-update HERMES_HOME backup. ([#15702](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/15702), [#15704](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/15704), [#15841](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/15841), [#16539](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16539), [#16566](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16566))
-
-- **Models dashboard tab + in-browser model config** — rich per-model analytics, switch main + auxiliary models from the dashboard. ([#17745](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17745), [#17802](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17802))
-
-- **Remote model catalog manifest** — OpenRouter + Nous Portal model catalogs are now pulled from a remote manifest so new models show up without a release. ([#16033](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16033))
-
-- **Native multimodal image routing** — images now route based on the model's actual vision capability rather than provider defaults. ([#16506](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16506))
-
-- **Gateway media parity** — native multi-image sending across Telegram, Discord, Slack, Mattermost, Email, and Signal; centralized audio routing with FLAC support + Telegram document fallback. ([#17909](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17909), [#17833](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17833))
-
-- **TUI catches up to (and past) the classic CLI** — LaTeX rendering (@austinpickett), `/reload` .env hot-reload, pluggable busy-indicator styles (@OutThisLife, #13610), opt-in auto-resume of last session, expanded light-terminal auto-detection, session delete from `/resume` picker with `d`, modified mouse-wheel line scroll, and a `/mouse` toggle that kills ConPTY's phantom mouse injection (@kevin-ho). ([#17175](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17175), [#17286](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17286), [#17150](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17150), [#17130](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17130), [#17113](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17113), [#17668](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17668), [#17669](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17669), [#15488](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/15488))
-
-- **Observability + achievements plugins** — bundled Langfuse observability plugin (salvage #16845) + bundled hermes-achievements plugin that scans full session history. ([#16917](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16917), [#17754](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17754))
-
-- **TTS provider registry + Piper local TTS** — pluggable `tts.providers.<name>` registry; Piper ships as a native local TTS provider. (Closes #8508.) ([#17843](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17843), [#17885](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17885))
-
-- **Vercel Sandbox backend** — Vercel sandboxes as an execute_code/terminal backend (@kshitijk4poor). ([#17445](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17445))
-
-- **Secret redaction off by default** — default flipped to off. Prevents the long-standing patch-corruption incidents where fake secret-shaped substrings mangled tool outputs. Opt in via `redaction.enabled: true` when you need it. ([#16794](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16794))
-
-- **Cold-start performance** — visible TUI cold start cut **~57%** via lazy agent init (@OutThisLife), lazy imports of OpenAI / Anthropic / Firecrawl / account_usage, mtime-cached `load_config()`, memoized `get_tool_definitions()` with TTL-cached `check_fn` results, precompiled dangerous-command patterns. ([#17190](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17190), [#17046](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17046), [#17041](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17041), [#17098](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17098), [#17206](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17206))
-
-- **Configurable prompt cache TTL** — `prompt_caching.cache_ttl` (5m default, 1h opt-in — cost savings for bursty sessions that keep cache warm). Salvage of #12659. ([#15065](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/15065))

-## 🧠 Autonomous Curator & Self-Improvement Loop
-
-### Curator — autonomous skill maintenance
-- **`hermes curator` as a background agent** — runs on the gateway's cron ticker, 7-day cycle by default, umbrella-first prompt, inherits parent config, unbounded iterations ([#17277](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17277) — issue #7816)
-- **Per-run reports** — `logs/curator/run.json` + `REPORT.md` per cycle ([#17307](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17307))
-- **Consolidated vs pruned classification** — archived skills split with model + heuristic ([#17941](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17941))
-- **`hermes curator status`** — ranks skills by usage, shows most-used and least-used ([#18033](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/18033))
-- **Unified under `auxiliary.curator`** — pick the model in `hermes model`, configure from the dashboard ([#17868](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17868))
-- **Documentation** — dedicated curator feature page on the docs site ([#17563](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17563))
-- Fix: seed defaults on update, create `logs/curator/` directory, defer fire import ([#17927](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17927))
-- Fix: scan nested archive subdirs in `restore_skill` (@0xDevNinja) ([#17951](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17951))
-- Fix: use actual skill activity in curator status (@y0shua1ee) ([#17953](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17953))
-- Fix: `skill_manage` refuses writes on pinned skills; pinning now blocks curator writes ([#17562](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17562), [#17578](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17578))
-- Fix: `bump_use()` wired into skill invocation + preload + skill_view (salvage #17782) ([#17932](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17932))
-
-### Self-improvement loop (background review fork)
-- **Class-first skill-review prompt** — rubric-based grading rather than free-form "should this update" ([#16026](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16026))
-- **Active-update bias** — prefers updating skills the agent just loaded, handles `references/` + `templates/` sub-files ([#17213](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17213))
-- **Fork inherits parent's live runtime** — provider, model, credentials actually propagate now ([#16099](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16099))
-- **Scoped toolsets** — review fork restricted to memory + skills (no shell, no web) ([#16569](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16569))
-- **Clean shutdown** — background review memory providers exit properly (salvage #15289) ([#16204](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16204))
-- **Clean context** — prior-history tool messages excluded from review summary (salvage #14967) ([#15057](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/15057))

-> The Tenacity Release — Hermes Agent now finishes what it starts. Kanban ships as a durable multi-agent board (heartbeat, reclaim, zombie detection, auto-block on incomplete exit, per-task retries, hallucination recovery). `/goal` keeps the agent locked on a target across turns (Ralph loop). Checkpoints v2 rewrites state persistence with real pruning. Gateway auto-resumes interrupted sessions after restart. Cron grows a `no_agent` watchdog mode. A security wave closes 8 P0s — redaction is now ON by default, Discord role-allowlists are guild-scoped, WhatsApp rejects strangers by default, and TOCTOU windows close across auth.json and MCP OAuth. Google Chat becomes the 20th platform. Providers become a pluggable surface. Seven i18n locales ship.

-## ✨ Highlights
-
-- **Multi-agent Kanban — delegate to an AI team that actually finishes** — Spin up a durable board, drop tasks on it, and let multiple Hermes workers pick them up, hand off, and close them out. Heartbeats, reclaim, zombie detection, retry budgets, and a hallucination gate keep the team honest. One install, many kanbans. ([#17805](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17805), [#19653](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/19653), [#20232](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/20232), [#20332](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/20332), [#21330](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/21330), [#21183](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/21183), [#21214](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/21214))
-
-- **`/goal` — the agent doesn't forget what you asked it to do** — Lock the agent onto a target and it stays on task across turns. The Ralph loop as a first-class primitive. ([#18262](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/18262), [#18275](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/18275), [#21287](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/21287))
-
-- **Show it a video** — new `video_analyze` tool for native video understanding on Gemini and compatible multimodal models. (@alt-glitch) ([#19301](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/19301))
-
-- **Clone a voice** — xAI Custom Voices lands as a TTS provider with voice cloning support. (@alt-glitch) ([#18776](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/18776))
-
-- **Hermes speaks your language** — static gateway + CLI messages translate to 7 locales: Chinese, Japanese, German, Spanish, French, Ukrainian, and Turkish. Docs site gains a Chinese (zh-Hans) locale. ([#20231](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/20231), [#20329](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/20329), [#20467](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/20467), [#20474](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/20474), [#20430](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/20430), [#20431](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/20431))
-
-- **Google Chat — the 20th messaging platform** — plus a generic platform-plugin hooks surface so third-party adapters drop in without touching core (IRC and Teams migrated). ([#21306](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/21306), [#21331](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/21331))
-
-- **Sessions survive restarts** — gateway bounces mid-agent, `/update` restarts, source-file reloads — conversations auto-resume when the gateway comes back. ([#21192](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/21192))
-
-- **Security wave — 8 P0 closures** — redaction ON by default, Discord role-allowlists guild-scoped (CVSS 8.1 cross-guild DM bypass closed), WhatsApp rejects strangers by default, TOCTOU windows closed across `auth.json` and MCP OAuth, browser enforces cloud-metadata SSRF floor, cron prompt-injection scans assembled skill content, `hermes debug share` redacts at upload. ([#21193](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/21193), [#21241](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/21241), [#21291](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/21291), [#21176](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/21176), [#21194](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/21194), [#21228](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/21228), [#21350](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/21350), [#19318](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/19318))
-
-- **Checkpoints v2** — state persistence rewritten. Real pruning, disk guardrails, no more orphan shadow repos. ([#20709](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/20709))
-
-- **The agent lints its own writes** — post-write delta lint on `write_file` + `patch`. Python, JSON, YAML, TOML. Syntax errors surface immediately instead of shipping downstream. ([#20191](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/20191))
-
-- **`no_agent` cron mode — script-only watchdog** — cron jobs can now skip the agent entirely and just run a script. Empty stdout is silent, non-empty gets delivered verbatim. ([#19709](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/19709))
-
-- **Platform allowlists everywhere** — `allowed_channels` / `allowed_chats` / `allowed_rooms` config across Slack, Telegram, Mattermost, Matrix, and DingTalk. ([#21251](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/21251))
-
-- **Providers are now plugins** — `ProviderProfile` ABC + `plugins/model-providers/`. Drop in third-party providers without touching core. ([#20324](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/20324))
-
-- **API server — long-term memory per session** — `X-Hermes-Session-Key` header gives memory providers a stable session identifier. ([#20199](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/20199))
-
-- **MCP levels up** — SSE transport with OAuth forwarding, stale-pipe retries, image results surface as MEDIA tags instead of getting dropped, keepalive on long-lived lifecycle waits. ([#21227](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/21227), [#21323](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/21323), [#21289](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/21289), [#21328](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/21328), [#20209](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/20209))
-
-- **Curator grows subcommands** — `hermes curator archive`, `prune`, `list-archived`. Manual `hermes curator run` is synchronous now — you see results without polling. ([#20200](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/20200), [#21236](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/21236), [#21216](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/21216))
-
-- **ACP — `/steer` and `/queue`** — direct the in-flight agent or queue follow-ups from Zed, VS Code, or JetBrains. Plus atomic session persistence and reasoning-metadata preservation across restarts.

-"""Curator snapshot + rollback.
-
-A pre-run snapshot of ``~/.hermes/skills/`` (excluding ``.curator_backups/``
-itself) is taken before any mutating curator pass. Snapshots are tar.gz
-files under ``~/.hermes/skills/.curator_backups/<utc-iso>/`` with a
-companion ``manifest.json`` describing the snapshot (reason, time, size,
-counted skill files). Rollback picks a snapshot, moves the current
-``skills/`` tree aside into another snapshot so even the rollback itself
-is undoable, then extracts the chosen snapshot into place.
-
-The snapshot does NOT include:
-  - ``.curator_backups/`` (would recurse)
-  - ``.hub/`` (hub-installed skills — managed by the hub, not us)
-
-It DOES include:
-  - all SKILL.md files + their directories (``scripts/``, ``references/``,
-    ``templates/``, ``assets/``)
-  - ``.usage.json`` (usage telemetry — needed to rehydrate state cleanly)
-  - ``.archive/`` (so rollback restores previously-archived skills too)
-  - ``.curator_state`` (so rolling back also restores the last-run-at
-    pointer — otherwise the curator would immediately re-fire on the next
-    tick)
-  - ``.bundled_manifest`` (so protection markers stay consistent)
-
-Alongside the skills tarball, each snapshot also captures a copy of
-``~/.hermes/cron/jobs.json`` as ``cron-jobs.json`` when it exists. Cron
-jobs reference skills by name in their ``skills``/``skill`` fields; the
-curator's consolidation pass rewrites those in place via
-``cron.jobs.rewrite_skill_refs()``. Without capturing the pre-run state,
-rolling back the skills tree would leave cron jobs pointing at the
-umbrella skills even though the narrow skills they were originally
-configured with have been restored. We store the whole jobs.json for
-fidelity but rollback only touches the ``skills``/``skill`` fields — the
-rest (schedule, next_run_at, enabled, prompt, etc.) is live state and
-we leave it alone.

-"""Lightweight internationalization (i18n) for Hermes static user-facing messages.
-
-Scope (thin slice, by design): only the highest-impact static strings shown
-to the user by Hermes itself -- approval prompts, a handful of gateway slash
-command replies, restart-drain notices.  Agent-generated output, log lines,
-error tracebacks, tool outputs, and slash-command descriptions all stay in
-English.
-
-Catalog files live under ``locales/<lang>.yaml`` at the repo root.  Each
-catalog is a flat dict keyed by dotted paths (e.g. ``approval.choose`` or
-``gateway.approval_expired``).  Missing keys fall back to English; if English
-is missing too, the key path itself is returned so a broken catalog never
-crashes the agent.
-
-Usage::
-
-    from agent.i18n import t
-    print(t("approval.choose_long"))                       # current lang
-    print(t("gateway.draining", count=3))                  # {count} formatted
-    print(t("approval.choose_long", lang="zh"))            # explicit override
-
-Language resolution order:
-    1. Explicit ``lang=`` argument passed to :func:`t`
-    2. ``HERMES_LANGUAGE`` environment variable (for tests / quick override)
-    3. ``display.language`` from config.yaml
-    4. ``"en"`` (baseline)

-"""Stateful scrubber for reasoning/thinking blocks in streamed assistant text.
-
-``run_agent._strip_think_blocks`` is regex-based and correct for a complete
-string, but when it runs *per-delta* in ``_fire_stream_delta`` it destroys
-the state that downstream consumers (CLI ``_stream_delta``, gateway
-``GatewayStreamConsumer._filter_and_accumulate``) rely on.
-
-Concretely, when MiniMax-M2.7 streams
-
-    delta1 = "<think>"
-    delta2 = "Let me check their config"
-    delta3 = "</think>"
-
-the per-delta regex erases delta1 entirely (case 2: unterminated-open at
-boundary matches ``^<think>...``), so the downstream state machine never
-sees the open tag, treats delta2 as regular content, and leaks reasoning
-to the user.  Consumers that don't run their own state machine (ACP,
-api_server, TTS) never had any defence at all — they just emitted
-whatever survived the upstream regex.
-
-This module centralises the tag-suppression state machine at the
-upstream layer so every stream_delta_callback sees text that has
-already had reasoning blocks removed.  Partial tags at delta
-boundaries are held back until the next delta resolves them, and
-end-of-stream flushing surfaces any held-back prose that turned out
-not to be a real tag.
-
-Usage::
-
-    scrubber = StreamingThinkScrubber()
-    for delta in stream:
-        visible = scrubber.feed(delta)
-        if visible:
-            emit(visible)
-    tail = scrubber.flush()  # at end of stream
-    if tail:
-        emit(tail)
-
-The scrubber is re-entrant per agent instance.  Call ``reset()`` at
-the top of each new turn so a hung block from an interrupted prior
-stream cannot taint the next turn's output.
-
-Tag variants handled (case-insensitive):
-  ``<think>``, ``<thinking>``, ``<reasoning>``, ``<thought>``,
-  ``<REASONING_SCRATCHPAD>``.
-
-Block-boundary rule for opens: an opening tag is only treated as a
-reasoning-block opener when it appears at the start of the stream,
-after a newline (optionally followed by whitespace), or when only
-whitespace has been emitted on the current line.  This prevents prose
-that *mentions* the tag name (e.g. ``"use <think> tags here"``) from
-being incorrectly suppressed.  Closed pairs (``<think>X</think>``) are
-always suppressed regardless of boundary; a closed pair is an
-intentional, bounded construct.

-# Hermes Desktop
-
-Native Electron shell for Hermes. It packages the desktop renderer, a bundled Hermes source payload, and installer targets for macOS and Windows.
-
-## Setup
-
-Install workspace dependencies from the repo root so `apps/desktop`, `apps/dashboard`, and `apps/shared` stay linked:
-
-```bash
-npm install
-```
-
-Use the normal Hermes Python environment for local runs:
-
-```bash
-source .venv/bin/activate  # or: source venv/bin/activate
-python -m pip install -e .
-```
-
-## Development
-
-```bash
-cd apps/desktop
-npm run dev
-```
-
-`npm run dev` starts Vite on `127.0.0.1:5174`, launches Electron, and lets Electron boot the Hermes dashboard backend on an open port in `9120-9199`. This path is for UI iteration and may still show Electron/dev identities in OS prompts.
-
-Useful overrides:
-
-```bash
-HERMES_DESKTOP_HERMES_ROOT=/path/to/hermes-agent npm run dev
-HERMES_DESKTOP_PYTHON=/path/to/python npm run dev
-HERMES_DESKTOP_CWD=/path/to/project npm run dev
-HERMES_DESKTOP_IGNORE_EXISTING=1 npm run dev
-HERMES_DESKTOP_BOOT_FAKE=1 npm run dev
-HERMES_DESKTOP_BOOT_FAKE=1 HERMES_DESKTOP_BOOT_FAKE_STEP_MS=900 npm run dev
-```
-
-`HERMES_DESKTOP_IGNORE_EXISTING=1` skips any `hermes` CLI already on `PATH`, which is useful when testing the bundled/runtime bootstrap path.
-
-`HERMES_DESKTOP_BOOT_FAKE=1` adds deterministic per-phase delays to desktop startup so you can validate the startup overlay and progress bar. For convenience, `npm run dev:fake-boot` enables fake mode with defaults.
-
-On a fresh Hermes profile, Desktop shows a first-run setup overlay after boot. The overlay saves the minimum required provider credential (for example `OPENROUTER_API_KEY`, `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`, or `OPENAI_API_KEY`) to the active Hermes `.env`, reloads the backend env, and then lets the user continue without opening Settings manually.
-
-## Dashboard Dev
-
-Run the Python dashboard backend with embedded chat enabled:
-
-```bash
-hermes dashboard --tui --no-open
-```
-
-For dashboard HMR, start Vite in another terminal:
-
-```bash
-cd apps/dashboard
-npm run dev
-```
-
-Open the Vite URL. The dev server proxies `/api`, `/api/pty`, and plugin assets to `http://127.0.0.1:9119` and fetches the live dashboard HTML so the ephemeral session token matches the running backend.
-
-## Build
-
-```bash
-npm run build
-npm run pack          # unpacked app at release/mac-<arch>/Hermes.app
-npm run dist:mac      # macOS DMG + zip
-npm run dist:mac:dmg  # DMG only
-npm run dist:mac:zip  # zip only
-npm run dist:win      # NSIS + MSI
-```
-
-Before packaging, `stage:hermes` copies the Python Hermes payload into `build/hermes-agent`. Electron Builder then ships it as `Contents/Resources/hermes-agent`.
-
-## Automated Releases
-
-Desktop installers are published by [`.github/workflows/desktop-release.yml`](../../.github/workflows/desktop-release.yml) with two channels:
-
-- **Stable:** runs on published GitHub releases and uploads signed artifacts to that release tag.
-- **Nightly:** runs on `main` pushes and updates the rolling `desktop-nightly` prerelease.
-
-The workflow injects a channel-aware desktop version at build time:
-
-- stable: derived from the release tag (for example `v2026.5.5` -> `2026.5.5`)
-- nightly: `0.0.0-nightly.YYYYMMDD.<sha>`
-
-Artifact names include channel, platform, and architecture:
-
-```text
-Hermes-<version>-<channel>-<platform>-<arch>.<ext>
-```
-
-Each run also publishes `SHA256SUMS-<platform>.txt` so installers can be verified.
-
-### Stable release gates
-
-Stable builds fail fast if signing credentials are missing:
-
-- macOS signing + notarization: `CSC_LINK`, `CSC_KEY_PASSWORD`, `APPLE_API_KEY`, `APPLE_API_KEY_ID`, `APPLE_API_ISSUER`
-- Windows signing: `WIN_CSC_LINK`, `WIN_CSC_KEY_PASSWORD`
-
-Stable macOS builds also validate stapling and Gatekeeper assessment in CI before upload.
-
-## Icons
-
-Desktop icons live in `assets/`:
-
-- `assets/icon.icns`
-- `assets/icon.ico`
-- `assets/icon.png`
-
-The builder config points at `assets/icon`. Replace these files directly if the app icon changes.
-
-## Testing Install Paths
-
-Use the package-local test scripts from this directory:
-
-```bash
-npm run test:desktop:all
-npm run test:desktop:existing
-npm run test:desktop:fresh
-npm run test:desktop:dmg
-npm run test:desktop:platforms
-```
-
-`test:desktop:existing` builds the packaged app and opens it normally. It should use an existing `hermes` CLI if one is on `PATH`, preserving the user’s real `~/.hermes` config.
-
-`test:desktop:fresh` builds the packaged app and launches it in a throwaway fresh-install sandbox. It sets `HERMES_DESKTOP_IGNORE_EXISTING=1`, points Electron `userData` at a temp dir, points `HERMES_HOME` at a temp dir, and launches through the bundled payload path without touching your real desktop runtime or `~/.hermes`.
-
-`test:desktop:dmg` builds and opens the DMG.
-
-`test:desktop:platforms` runs platform bootstrap-path assertions, including:
-- existing vs bundled runtime path selection semantics
-- WSL2 protection against Windows `.exe/.cmd/.bat/.ps1` overrides
-- platform-specific bundled runtime import checks (`winpty` vs `ptyprocess`)
-
-For fast reruns without rebuilding:
-
-```bash
-HERMES_DESKTOP_SKIP_BUILD=1 npm run test:desktop:fresh
-HERMES_DESKTOP_SKIP_BUILD=1 npm run test:desktop:existing
-HERMES_DESKTOP_SKIP_BUILD=1 npm run test:desktop:dmg
-```
-
-## Installing Locally
-
-```bash
-npm run dist:mac:dmg
-open release/Hermes-0.0.0-arm64.dmg
-```
-
-Drag `Hermes` to Applications. If testing repeated installs, replace the existing app.
-
-## Runtime Bootstrap
-
-Packaged desktop startup resolves Hermes in this order:
-
-1. `HERMES_DESKTOP_HERMES_ROOT`
-2. existing `hermes` CLI, unless `HERMES_DESKTOP_IGNORE_EXISTING=1`
-3. bundled `Contents/Resources/hermes-agent`
-4. dev repo source
-5. installed `python -m hermes_cli.main`
-
-When the bundled path is used, Electron creates or reuses:
-
-```text
-~/Library/Application Support/Hermes/hermes-runtime
-```
-
-The runtime is validated before use. If required dashboard imports are missing, it reinstalls the desktop runtime dependencies and retries.
-
-## Debugging
-
-Desktop boot logs are written to:
-
-```text
-~/Library/Application Support/Hermes/desktop.log
-```
-
-If the UI reports `Desktop boot failed`, check that log first. It includes the backend command output and recent Python traceback context.
-
-To reset bundled runtime state:
-
-```bash
-rm -rf "$HOME/Library/Application Support/Hermes/hermes-runtime"
-```
-
-To reset stale macOS microphone permission prompts:
-
-```bash
-tccutil reset Microphone com.github.Electron
-tccutil reset Microphone com.nousresearch.hermes
-```
-
-## Verification
-
-Run before handing off installer changes:
-
-```bash
-npm run fix
-npm run type-check
-npm run lint
-npm run test:desktop:all
-```
-
-Current lint may report existing warnings, but it should exit with no errors.
