Problem

in plugins/memory/__init__.py was purely directory-based. It scanned plugins/memory/<name>/ and /plugins/<name>/ for directories -- never checked importlib.metadata entry points. So pipx-installed memory provider packages (like mnemosyne-hermes) could register a correct hermes_agent.plugins entry point but never flip Plugin: installed ✓ because the memory discovery system wasn't looking there.

Separately, hermes_cli/memory_setup.py used uv pip install for plugin dependencies, which doesn't provide stable path guarantees across Hermes updates.

Changes

1. Entry-point provider discovery (plugins/memory/__init__.py)

  • Added importlib.metadata based scanning of the hermes_agent.memory_providers entry-point group
  • _get_entry_point_providers(): discovers pipx/pip-installed memory provider packages
  • _load_entry_point_provider(): loads a memory provider from its entry point (handles register_memory_provider, register, and MemoryProvider subclass patterns)
  • discover_memory_providers(): appends entry-point providers after directory-based ones
  • load_memory_provider(): falls through to entry-point loading when directory lookup fails
  • Precedence: bundled > user-installed > entry-point providers

2. pipx over uv (hermes_cli/memory_setup.py)

  • Replaced uv pip install with pipx install for plugin dependencies
  • pipx installs packages to stable isolated pipx-managed venvs
  • pipx install --python <python> <package> installs into pipx's managed structure
  • This means hermes update won't break plugin paths

Testing

  • Lint clean on both modified files
  • Entry-point loading handles all three plugin patterns (register_memory_provider, register, MemoryProvider subclass)
  • Directory-based providers continue loading unchanged

* fix(codex-responses): gracefully recover from invalid_encrypted_content (salvage NousResearch#10144)

When an OpenAI-compatible Responses API surface accepts an initial
request but later rejects the replayed `codex_reasoning_items`
encrypted blob with HTTP 400 `invalid_encrypted_content`, the
session previously got stuck retrying the same poisoned payload.

Recovery: classify the error as a dedicated FailoverReason, and on the
first hit disable encrypted reasoning replay for the rest of the
session, strip cached items from message history, and retry once.

Changes:
* error_classifier: add FailoverReason.invalid_encrypted_content
  branch in _classify_400 (before context_overflow so the messages
  that mention 'encrypted content … could not be verified' don't trip
  context heuristics), in _classify_by_error_code, and extend
  _extract_error_code to peek inside wrapped JSON in error.message and
  ignore the bare '400' as a code.
* agent_init: initialize `_codex_reasoning_replay_enabled = True` on
  every agent.
* run_agent: add AIAgent._disable_codex_reasoning_replay() helper
  that flips the flag and pops cached items.
* codex_responses_adapter: thread a `replay_encrypted_reasoning`
  kwarg through _chat_messages_to_responses_input so that when the
  flag is False we don't replay codex_reasoning_items.
* transports/codex.py: read `replay_encrypted_reasoning` from params,
  thread it into the adapter, and gate the
  `include=['reasoning.encrypted_content']` request hint on it.
* chat_completion_helpers: pass the agent's replay flag through to
  the transport.
* conversation_loop: in the retry loop, add an
  invalid_encrypted_content recovery branch that fires once per
  session, only when api_mode == codex_responses, only when replay is
  still enabled, and only when at least one assistant message in
  history actually carries cached reasoning items (otherwise the 400
  has nothing to do with our cache and the normal retry path handles
  it).

Tests:
* test_error_classifier: new wrapped-JSON _extract_error_code case;
  new TestClassifyApiError cases proving the 400 is retryable with
  no fallback, that the broad message match doesn't catch a generic
  'parsed' message, and that the error code match is
  case-insensitive.
* test_run_agent_codex_responses: end-to-end test of the recovery
  branch firing once and disabling replay, plus a sibling test that
  proves the branch does *not* fire (and the flag stays True) when
  history has no cached reasoning items.

Salvages PR NousResearch#10144 onto the post-refactor module layout
(error_classifier / codex_responses_adapter / transports/codex /
conversation_loop / agent_init) since the original diff was written
against the pre-refactor monolithic run_agent.py.

…_HOME (NousResearch#19795)

Replaces the recursive chown of $HERMES_HOME in stage2-hook.sh with a
targeted approach: chown the top-level dir (so hermes can create new subdirs)
plus the specific hermes-owned subdirectories (cron/, sessions/, logs/,
hooks/, memories/, skills/, skins/, plans/, workspace/, home/, profiles/) —
the same canonical list seeded by the s6-setuidgid mkdir -p block below.

Avoids clobbering host-side file ownership when $HERMES_HOME is a bind
mount that contains user-owned files not managed by hermes (issue NousResearch#19788).

Original fix targeted docker/entrypoint.sh which is now a deprecated shim;
retargeted to docker/stage2-hook.sh where the recursive chown moved during
the s6-overlay rework.

…d works (NousResearch#28851)

When HERMES_UID remaps the hermes user from 10000 to another UID
(e.g. matching the host user's UID for bind-mount ergonomics), the TUI
launcher's esbuild step fails:

  ✘ [ERROR] Failed to write to output file:
     open /opt/hermes/ui-tui/dist/entry.js: permission denied
  TUI build failed.

This is because the Dockerfile's build-time `chown -R hermes:hermes` on
`/opt/hermes/{.venv,ui-tui,node_modules}` (line 154) wrote UID 10000,
and stage2-hook.sh only re-chowned `.venv` on UID remap — leaving the
TUI build trees still owned by the old UID.

Extend the stage2 re-chown to include the same set as the build-time
chown: `.venv`, `ui-tui`, `node_modules`. These are the runtime-writable
trees under $INSTALL_DIR; everything else under /opt/hermes is read-only
at runtime so keeping it root-owned is fine.

Original fix targeted docker/entrypoint.sh which is now a deprecated shim;
retargeted to docker/stage2-hook.sh where the .venv chown moved during
the s6-overlay rework.

…kworm-slim (NousResearch#4977)

Debian trixie's bundled `nodejs` package is pinned to 20.19.2, which
reached LTS EOL in April 2026. Trixie won't upgrade in place; Debian 14
(forky) — where the apt nodejs is 24.x — isn't released until ~mid-2027.

To stay on a supported LTS without waiting for Debian 14, copy node + npm
+ corepack from the upstream `node:22-bookworm-slim` image as a
multi-stage source, matching the existing `uv_source` and `gosu_source`
patterns in the Dockerfile. Bookworm-based slim image is used so the
produced binary links against glibc 2.36, which runs cleanly on Debian 13
(trixie, glibc 2.41).

Changes:
- Add `FROM node:22-bookworm-slim@sha256:... AS node_source` stage
- Remove `nodejs npm` from `apt-get install` (now sourced from node_source)
- Add `ca-certificates` explicitly to apt install (was a transitive of
  the apt nodejs package; removing nodejs broke the chain and curl
  inside the build failed with "error setting certificate file")
- COPY node binary + npm + corepack from node_source; recreate the
  symlinks at /usr/local/bin/{npm,npx,corepack}
- Update the npm_config_install_links=false comment block — npm 10's
  default is already `install-links=false`, but we keep the env as
  defense-in-depth against future Node-source-version regressions

Future bumps to Node 24/26 are a one-line ARG change.

Validation:
- Built --no-cache against current origin/main; build succeeds in 1m42s
- Image size: 3.27 GB (pre-salvage-1 baseline) → 3.14 GB (this PR);
  net 130 MiB savings (60 MiB from this change alone vs current main —
  removing apt nodejs+transitive deps that duplicated what node bundles)
- Node 22.22.3 / npm 10.9.8 / esbuild 0.27.7 all run cleanly under
  trixie's glibc 2.41
- Standard image smoke (6/6), Node-version E2E (8/8), chown E2E from
  NousResearch#19788 (6/6), TUI UID-remap E2E from NousResearch#28851 (4/4) — 24 checks total

shellcheck doesn't recognize the s6-overlay `#!/command/with-contenv sh`
shebang and aborts with SC1008 ("This shebang was unrecognized. ShellCheck
only supports sh/bash/dash/ksh/'busybox sh'. Add a 'shell' directive to
specify."). The error fires at --severity=error too, so it fails the
"Docker / shell lint" CI job on every PR that touches docker/.

Add the canonical `# shellcheck shell=sh` directive — same fix already
applied to the sibling cont-init.d scripts (`02-reconcile-profiles` and
`015-supervise-perms`) when they adopted the with-contenv shebang.

The shebang was changed from `#!/bin/sh` → `#!/command/with-contenv sh`
in PR NousResearch#32412 (commit 29c71e9) to fix env-propagation through s6's PID 1.
The shellcheck-directive line was missed in that PR; this patches it.

Reproduces locally:
  docker run --rm -v "$PWD:/mnt" -w /mnt koalaman/shellcheck:stable \
    --severity=error --format=gcc docker/main-wrapper.sh

Before:  docker/main-wrapper.sh:1:1: error: [SC1008]  (rc=1)
After:   (no output)                                   (rc=0)

Script behavior is unchanged — the directive is a comment, and `sh -n`
/ `bash -n` parse the file cleanly either way.
…lege drop (NousResearch#18488)

When HERMES_HOME points at a custom path whose parent directories
only root can create (e.g. HERMES_HOME=/home/hermes/.hermes in a
Compose file, or any path under a fresh / not pre-populated by the
image), stage2-hook.sh fails on first boot:

  [stage2] Warning: chown failed (rootless container?) - continuing
  mkdir: cannot create directory '/custom': Permission denied
  mkdir: cannot create directory '/custom': Permission denied
  ... (one per s6-setuidgid hermes mkdir invocation)
  cont-init: info: /etc/cont-init.d/01-hermes-setup exited 1

The mkdirs fail because s6-setuidgid drops to hermes (UID 10000)
before invoking mkdir -p, and the runtime user has no permission to
create root-owned ancestor directories. 02-reconcile-profiles then
crashes with FileNotFoundError, .install_method never lands, and
the container limps on in a half-initialized state.

Bootstrap HERMES_HOME with mkdir -p while still root, before the
ownership normalization. Idempotent on the default /opt/data path
(directory already exists from the Dockerfile RUN mkdir -p) and on
any subsequent restart. (NousResearch#18482)

Retargeted from the original PR's docker/entrypoint.sh (now a
deprecated shim) to docker/stage2-hook.sh where the related chown
logic moved during the s6-overlay rework.

* refactor(codex): drop SDK responses.stream() helper; consume events directly

The OpenAI Python SDK's high-level `client.responses.stream(...)` helper
does post-hoc typed reconstruction from the terminal
`response.completed.response.output` field.  The chatgpt.com Codex
backend has been observed (today, gpt-5.5) to ship `response.output =
null` on terminal frames, which crashes the SDK with `TypeError:
'NoneType' object is not iterable` mid-iteration.

Carlton's NousResearch#32963 patched the symptom by wrapping the helper in
try/except and recovering from the same per-event accumulator the SDK
was supposed to populate.  This PR removes the helper from the call
path entirely: we now use `client.responses.create(stream=True)` (raw
AsyncIterable of SSE events) and assemble the final response object
ourselves from `response.output_item.done` events as they arrive.  The
terminal event's `output` field is never read for content.  Same
strategy OpenClaw uses for the same backend.

This makes Hermes structurally immune to the bug class, not patched.
The next time OpenAI ships a shape change to chatgpt.com's terminal
frame, our consumer keeps working because it doesn't read that frame
for content — only for usage/status/id.

Changes
- `agent/codex_runtime.py`: new `_consume_codex_event_stream()` shared
  consumer; `run_codex_stream()` uses `responses.create(stream=True)`;
  `run_codex_create_stream_fallback()` collapses into a thin alias
  since the primary path now does what the fallback used to do.
- `agent/auxiliary_client.py`: `_CodexCompletionsAdapter` uses the
  same consumer; old null-output recovery helpers deleted as
  unreferenced.
- Tests migrated: fixtures that mocked `responses.stream` now mock
  `responses.create` returning a raw iterable.  New regression test
  asserts the auxiliary path returns streamed items even when the
  terminal event's `output` is literally `null`.

Validation
- Live: tested against fresh OAuth on `chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex`
  with `gpt-5.5` — response built correctly with `response.output=null`
  on the terminal frame, all events consumed, usage/reasoning tokens
  propagated.
- `tests/run_agent/test_run_agent_codex_responses.py` +
  `tests/agent/test_auxiliary_client.py`: 242 passed.

* test+fix(codex): migrate streaming tests, raise on truncated streams

CI surfaced 10 test failures across tests/run_agent/test_streaming.py
and tests/run_agent/test_codex_xai_oauth_recovery.py — both files had
their own `responses.stream(...)` mocks I missed in the first sweep.

agent/codex_runtime.py: _consume_codex_event_stream() now raises
"Codex Responses stream did not emit a terminal response" when the
stream ends without any terminal frame AND no usable content. This
preserves the signal callers used to get from the SDK's high-level
helper, which they distinguished from "completed with empty body"
in error handling.

Tests migrated:
- test_streaming.py: text-delta callback, activity-touch, and
  remote-protocol-error tests all switch from mocking responses.stream
  to responses.create returning an iterable of events.
- test_codex_xai_oauth_recovery.py: prelude-error tests are recast as
  wire-error-event tests (the new path raises _StreamErrorEvent
  directly when the wire emits type=error, which is strictly better
  than the old two-phase "SDK RuntimeError → retry → fallback"). The
  retry-on-transport-error test moves from responses.stream side-effect
  to responses.create side-effect.

Verified live against chatgpt.com Codex with gpt-5.5 — AIAgent.chat()
through the full codex_responses path returns correctly, 319/319
targeted tests passing.
* remove Vercel AI Gateway provider and Vercel Sandbox terminal backend

Both Vercel-hosted integrations are removed end-to-end. Users on the AI
Gateway should switch to OpenRouter or one of the other aggregators
(Nous Portal, Kilo Code). Users on the Vercel Sandbox backend should
switch to Docker, Modal, Daytona, or SSH.

What's removed:
- `plugins/model-providers/ai-gateway/` provider plugin
- `hermes_cli/vercel_auth.py` Vercel-Sandbox auth helper
- `tools/environments/vercel_sandbox.py` terminal backend
- `ai-gateway` provider wiring across auth, doctor, setup, models,
  config, status, providers, main, web_server, model_normalize, dump
- `vercel_sandbox` backend wiring across terminal_tool, file_tools,
  code_execution_tool, file_operations, approval, skills_tool,
  environments/local, credential_files, lazy_deps, prompt_builder,
  cli, gateway/run
- `AI_GATEWAY_BASE_URL` constant, `_AI_GATEWAY_HEADERS` auxiliary-client
  header set, run_agent base-URL header/reasoning special-cases
- `[vercel]` pyproject extra and `vercel`/`vercel-workers` from uv.lock
- env vars: `AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY`, `AI_GATEWAY_BASE_URL`, `VERCEL_TOKEN`,
  `VERCEL_PROJECT_ID`, `VERCEL_TEAM_ID`, `VERCEL_OIDC_TOKEN`,
  `TERMINAL_VERCEL_RUNTIME`
- Tests: deletes test_ai_gateway_models.py and
  test_vercel_sandbox_environment.py; scrubs references across 23
  surviving test files (no entire tests deleted unless they were
  dedicated to AI Gateway / Sandbox)
- Docs: provider tables, env-var reference, setup guides, security
  notes, tool config, terminal-backend tables — English plus zh-Hans
  i18n parity
- `hermes-agent` skill: provider table entry and remote-backend list

What stays (intentional):
- `popular-web-designs/templates/vercel.md` — CSS design reference,
  unrelated to Vercel-the-AI-product
- `x-vercel-id` in `stream_diag.py` headers — generic Vercel CDN
  response header, useful diag signal on any Vercel-hosted endpoint
- `vercel-labs/agent-browser` URL in browser config — lightpanda
  browser project, different OSS effort
- `userStories.json` historical contributor entry mentioning Vercel
  Sandbox — archive, not active docs

Validation:
- 1153 tests in the 22 targeted files pass (`scripts/run_tests.sh`)
- Full repo `py_compile` clean
- Live import of every touched module + invariant check (no
  `ai-gateway` in `PROVIDER_REGISTRY`, no `_AI_GATEWAY_HEADERS`, no
  `vercel_sandbox` in `_REMOTE_TERMINAL_BACKENDS`)

* test: convert profile-count check from change-detector to invariant

The hardcoded "== 34" assertion broke when ai-gateway was removed.
Per AGENTS.md change-detector-test guidance, assert the relationship
(registry count >= number of plugin dirs) instead of a literal count.
Counts shift when providers are added/removed; that's expected.
…3016)

Lets external clients enumerate the agent's skills and resolved toolsets
deterministically over the OpenAI-compatible API server, without standing
up the dashboard web server or sending a chat message and asking the model
to list them.

- GET /v1/skills — list installed skills (name, description, category)
- GET /v1/toolsets — list toolsets resolved for the api_server platform,
  with enabled/configured state and the concrete tool names each expands
  to
- Both gated by API_SERVER_KEY (same Bearer scheme as every other /v1/*
  endpoint)
- /v1/capabilities advertises both new endpoints

Closes the gap a community user just hit asking how to list skills over
REST when only the OpenAI-compatible server is running.

Test plan
- python -m pytest tests/gateway/test_api_server.py -k "Skills or Toolsets or Capabilities" -o 'addopts=' -q
  → 9/9 pass
- python -m pytest tests/gateway/test_api_server.py -o 'addopts=' -q
  → 156/156 pass, no regressions
- E2E: started a real adapter on an isolated HERMES_HOME with a fake
  skill installed; curl-equivalent calls to /v1/capabilities,
  /v1/skills, /v1/toolsets returned the expected JSON; unauthenticated
  calls returned 401 with the configured API_SERVER_KEY.

* fix(plugins/discord): correct install_hint extra to [messaging]

The Discord platform registered install_hint pointing at
'hermes-agent[discord]', but pyproject.toml has no [discord] extra —
the deps live in [messaging] alongside Telegram and Slack. Users hitting
"Platform 'Discord' requirements not met" were directed at a pip command
that installs nothing.

* feat(nix): add #messaging and #full package variants

Make Discord/Telegram/Slack work out of the box for `nix profile install`
users. Messaging deps were dropped from [all] on 2026-05-12 in favor of
lazy-install, but lazy-install can't write to the read-only /nix/store —
users hit "No adapter available for discord" with no actionable guidance.

  - #messaging: pre-built with discord.py/telegram/slack (+33 MB venv)
  - #full:      all 18 platform-portable extras + matrix on Linux only
                (python-olm lacks Darwin PyPI wheels) (+738 MB venv)

Also adds a `messaging-variant` flake check that verifies `import discord`
succeeds in the sealed venv — regression guard for the lazy-install
migration.

Docs updated: Quick Start callout, extraDependencyGroups rewrite with
messaging as primary example + full extras table, troubleshooting row,
cheatsheet row.

Closure size deltas (measured x86_64-linux):
  default   1792 MB pkg / 512 MB venv
  messaging 1826 MB pkg / 546 MB venv   (+33 MB)
  full      2530 MB pkg / 1250 MB venv  (+738 MB)

* chore(nix): trim variant comments + alphabetize full extras

Drop the date-stamped changelog from messaging-variant's comment and the
"+33 MB / +704 MB" numbers from the variant defs — those drift and belong
in the PR description, not source. Alphabetize the 18-extra list in #full
so future additions produce clean one-line diffs.

No semantic change. messaging-variant check still passes.

The first iteration of this PR did docker stop on every cleanup in
persist mode (only skipping docker rm). Ben caught this as
contradicting the documented "ONE long-lived container shared across
sessions" semantics: stopping the container on every Hermes /quit kills
any background processes inside (npm watchers, pytest watchers,
long-running scripts) — exactly the case persist mode is supposed to
protect.

This commit splits the cleanup paths cleanly:

* **Persist mode (default)** — cleanup() is a NO-OP for the
  container. Container stays running, processes survive, next Hermes
  process attaches via the existing label probe in ~ms instead of
  waiting for docker start. Resource reclamation happens via the
  orphan reaper at next startup (2 × lifetime_seconds threshold), which
  covers the SIGKILL / OOM / abandoned-laptop cases.
* **Opt-out mode (persist_across_processes=False)** — unchanged:
  docker stop + docker rm -f on cleanup as before.
* **Explicit teardown** — new cleanup(force_remove=True) kwarg
  overrides persist mode and tears the container down unconditionally.
  cleanup_vm(task_id) now defaults to force_remove=True since
  it's the user-driven reset path (called from AIAgent.close(),
  /reset-style flows, and the idle reaper's per-turn cleanup).

The idle reaper in _cleanup_inactive_envs calls env.cleanup()
directly with no kwargs, so idle persist-mode envs are no-op'd — the
container survives the in-process pop and the next tool call re-probes
via labels. No state leak: _container_id is still cleared on the
in-process handle.

E2E verified against real Docker:

  ✓ Container is still running after cleanup()
  ✓ Background process (sleep loop) survived cleanup()
  ✓ Filesystem state preserved across cleanup()
  ✓ In-process container_id cleared (next __init__ will re-probe)
  ✓ Background process visible from reused env (no docker start happened)
  ✓ force_remove=True removed the container even in persist mode
  ✓ cleanup_vm() removed the container (defaults to force_remove=True)

Test changes:

* Replaces `test_cleanup_with_persist_only_stops_no_rm` with
  `test_cleanup_with_persist_is_noop_for_container` — asserts neither
  stop nor rm runs in persist mode, and the in-process handle is
  cleared so re-probe works.
* Adds `test_cleanup_force_remove_stops_and_rms_even_in_persist_mode`
  — covers the new kwarg.
* Updates `test_cleanup_uses_subprocess_run_not_detached_shell` and
  `test_wait_for_cleanup_after_cleanup_returns_true` to pass
  `force_remove=True` so they actually exercise the docker code path
  (default no-op would trivially pass).

cleanup_vm() forwards `force_remove` only to backends whose cleanup()
accepts the kwarg (currently just DockerEnvironment) via runtime
signature inspection — Modal/Daytona/SSH `cleanup()` signatures are
unchanged.

and from per-turn cleanup (agent/chat_completion_helpers.py:1517). All
three are session-lifecycle events that should honor persist mode, not
explicit user-initiated teardown.

Ben reported the symptom: container shared between multiple TUI sessions
(good) but killed as soon as any session closed (bad). With force_remove=True
as the default, every `session.close` JSON-RPC tore down the container.

The fix is to flip cleanup_vm()'s force_remove default back to False.
The kwarg still exists for future explicit-teardown paths (`/reset`-style
flows, "destroy my sandbox" commands) that haven't been wired up yet.

Two new unit tests pin the behavior:

* `test_cleanup_vm_default_honors_persist_mode` — asserts
  `cleanup_vm(task_id)` does neither docker stop nor docker rm on a
  persist-mode container (the regression Ben caught).
* `test_cleanup_vm_force_remove_tears_down_persist_container` —
  asserts the kwarg still flows through the runtime-signature-inspection
  plumbing to the backend's cleanup().

E2E verified against real Docker (in addition to all 17 existing checks):

  ✓ Default cleanup_vm() leaves persist-mode container running
  ✓ cleanup_vm(force_remove=True) removed the container

…an reaper (NousResearch#20561)

Updates the Docker Backend section of the user-guide configuration page
to match the actual behavior shipped in PR NousResearch#33645. Pre-PR the docs
claimed "container is stopped and removed on shutdown," which was
never quite true for the documented happy path and is now actively
wrong: in default mode the container survives across Hermes processes
so background processes (npm watchers, dev servers, long-running
pytest) carry over the way the "ONE long-lived container shared
across sessions" promise requires.

Changes to `website/docs/user-guide/configuration.md`:

* Reworked the intro paragraph at the top of the Docker Backend
  section to describe the actual cross-process reuse contract.
* Expanded the YAML example with the new keys
  `docker_persist_across_processes` and `docker_orphan_reaper`, plus
  the pre-existing-but-undocumented `docker_env`, `timeout`, and
  `lifetime_seconds`.  Clarified the `container_persistent` comment
  to disambiguate from `docker_persist_across_processes`.
* Added a `docker_env` vs `docker_forward_env` explainer (one
  injects literal KEY=value, the other forwards values from the
  host/.env — easy to confuse).
* Replaced the one-line "Container lifecycle" paragraph with a full
  subsection covering:
    - the three labels Hermes tags every container with
      (hermes-agent, hermes-task-id, hermes-profile)
    - the label-probe reuse mechanism on startup
    - a teardown-trigger table with four rows for every situation
      that destroys the container in default mode
    - edge cases (OOM kill, profile switching)
* Added an "Environment variable overrides" table covering all
  TERMINAL_* env vars relevant to the Docker backend, including the
  previously-undocumented `TERMINAL_DOCKER_ENV` and
  `HERMES_DOCKER_BINARY`.

Changes to `website/docs/user-guide/docker.md`:

* Extended the cross-link admonition (around l.227) so the
  Hermes-in-Docker page points at the new terminal-backend keys
  (`docker_env`, `docker_persist_across_processes`,
  `docker_orphan_reaper`) alongside the ones already mentioned.

No code changes.  Behavior already covered by tests added in earlier
commits on this branch (NousResearch#33645 commits 1-5).

Refs NousResearch#20561
The page was last meaningfully rewritten in the pre-s6 (tini) era and had
drifted on five points that no longer matched the image:

1. "Running the dashboard" claimed the entrypoint backgrounds
   `hermes dashboard` and prefixes its output with `[dashboard]`. That
   was the pre-s6 entrypoint.sh path; under s6 the dashboard is a
   supervised s6-rc service (`docker/s6-rc.d/dashboard/run`) with no
   sed-prefix pipeline. Rewrote the section accordingly.

2. The default for `HERMES_DASHBOARD_HOST` was documented as
   `127.0.0.1`. The s6 run script defaults it to `0.0.0.0`
   (`dash_host="${HERMES_DASHBOARD_HOST:-0.0.0.0}"`). Fixed the table
   and the surrounding prose.

3. Multi-profile was documented as "not recommended in Docker — run
   one container per profile." That advice was load-bearing when
   there was no in-container supervisor, but the s6 architecture
   explicitly adds per-profile gateway supervision: each profile
   created via `hermes profile create <name>` gets a slot under
   `/run/service/gateway-<name>/`, the `02-reconcile-profiles`
   cont-init script restores them across `docker restart` from
   `gateway_state.json`, and `hermes gateway start/stop/restart` is
   intercepted by `_dispatch_via_service_manager_if_s6` to route
   through `s6-svc`. Pivoted the section to "one container, many
   supervised profile gateways" as the default, with a comparison
   table and a "When you DO want a separate container" escape
   hatch for the genuine resource-isolation / network-segmentation
   cases.

4. The Compose example trailer also claimed `[dashboard]` log
   prefixing. Replaced with the actual log routing.

5. Added a new "Where the logs go" section covering all four log
   surfaces: per-profile gateways (tee'd to `docker logs` AND
   `${HERMES_HOME}/logs/gateways/<profile>/current` since PR
   b345323), dashboard (`docker logs`, no prefix), boot reconciler
   (`container-boot.log`), and `hermes logs`. The gateway-mode and
   Compose sections cross-reference this rather than each carrying
   their own routing prose.

Added a new "docker exec automatically drops to the hermes user"
subsection under "What the Dockerfile does", next to the existing
Privilege model warning. Documents the `/opt/hermes/bin/hermes` shim
(landed via the docker-exec privilege-drop work) — operators don't
need to remember `--user hermes` for `docker exec hermes login`,
`docker exec hermes profile create …`, etc. The historical footgun
(`auth.json` written as `root:root`, supervised gateway then can't
read its own auth file) is mentioned only as context for what the
fail-loud `exit 126` is protecting against, not as a problem the
reader needs to solve. The `HERMES_DOCKER_EXEC_AS_ROOT=1` opt-out is
documented for diagnostic sessions.

The "Permission denied" troubleshooting subsection now carries a
single-line pointer to the new section instead of duplicating it.

The `--insecure` framing reflects PR #fb5125362 (opt-in via
`HERMES_DASHBOARD_INSECURE`, not derived from bind host): the OAuth
gate is the authority, the bind host alone never implies
`--insecure`, and opting out is an explicit security trade-off.

Anchors verified resolve. i18n zh-Hans mirror left for the
translation flow to catch up.
…NousResearch#27145, NousResearch#21582) (NousResearch#34244)

Two related dispatcher behaviors that have been missing for a while.

## kanban.default_assignee (NousResearch#27145)

Reporter (@agarzon): dashboard creates a task without an assignee, task
parks in 'ready' forever even though the operator's intent ('default')
is perfectly clear. The dispatcher already had a 'skipped_unassigned'
bucket but no fallback routing — users had to manually type 'default'
in the assignee field every time.

Behavior: when 'kanban.default_assignee' is set in config.yaml, the
dispatcher applies that assignee to any unassigned ready task before
deciding whether to spawn. The row is mutated (assignee column + an
'assigned' event with source='kanban.default_assignee' for the audit
trail). Empty/whitespace config value = no fallback, preserving the
existing skipped_unassigned behavior.

Dry-run mode reports what WOULD happen via the new
'auto_assigned_default' bucket on DispatchResult, but does NOT mutate
the DB — operators using 'hermes kanban dispatch --dry-run' see the
routing decision before committing.

## kanban.max_in_progress_per_profile (NousResearch#21582)

Reporter (@edwardchenchen, @simlu, 4 reactions): fan-out workloads
saturate one profile's local model / API quota / browser pool while
other profiles sit idle. The existing global 'max_in_progress' caps
total workers but doesn't balance across profiles.

Behavior: when 'kanban.max_in_progress_per_profile' is set to a
positive int, the dispatcher tracks per-assignee running counts (one
query at tick start) and refuses to spawn for any assignee already at
the cap. Tasks blocked this way go to a new
'skipped_per_profile_capped' bucket on DispatchResult as
(task_id, assignee, current_running_count) tuples — NOT an
operator-actionable failure, just 'try again next tick when the
profile has capacity'.

Pre-existing 'running' tasks count against the cap (verified via
regression test). The cap respects dry_run mode by incrementing
its in-memory counter on each would-be spawn so dry_run reports
the same balanced subset that a real tick would.

Invalid cap values (0, negative, non-int, None) are treated as 'no
cap', preserving the existing behavior. Backward-compatible for
installs that don't set the config.

## Surfaces

- 'hermes kanban dispatch' CLI now prints 'Auto-assigned to
  kanban.default_assignee=X: ...' and 'Deferred (X at per-profile cap,
  N running): ...' lines, plus matching JSON keys in --json output.
- Gateway dispatcher logs the configured values at startup
  ('default_assignee=X', 'max_in_progress_per_profile=N').
- 'kanban.max_in_progress_per_profile' added to DEFAULT_CONFIG with
  inline docs.

## Validation

- tests/hermes_cli/test_kanban_default_assignee.py (6 cases): no-cap
  baseline, auto-assign + DB mutation, dry-run reports without
  mutating, whitespace treated as None, explicit assignees untouched,
  DispatchResult field schema.
- tests/hermes_cli/test_kanban_per_profile_cap.py (9 cases including
  4 parametrized): no-cap baseline, balanced 2-profile fan-out,
  pre-existing running counts against cap, invalid cap values
  (0/-1/'abc'/None), capped tasks dispatched on next tick after
  running task completes, DispatchResult field schema.
- Broader kanban suite: 464/464 pass (was 449 baseline; +15 new
  regression tests across both features).

## Credit

NousResearch#27145 — Jimmy Johansson reported the dispatcher skipped-unassigned
gap; @agarzon scoped the simpler 'honor kanban.default_assignee' fix
that matches the existing config knob.
NousResearch#21582@edwardchenchen filed the per-profile cap ask after hitting
model 429s on fan-out research projects; @simlu confirmed the same
pain on local-model setups.
… OAuth gates

Two parallel public-path allowlists drifted: _PUBLIC_API_PATHS in
hermes_cli/web_server.py (legacy _SESSION_TOKEN middleware) and
_GATE_PUBLIC_PREFIXES in hermes_cli/dashboard_auth/middleware.py
(OAuth gate). The legacy list included /api/status (documented as a
non-sensitive read-only liveness target); the OAuth gate's list did not.

Effect: every wildcard-subdomain agent surfaced as STARTING/down to the
portal even though the dashboard was serving correctly. Nous account
service (src/server/agents/fly-provider.ts
getInstanceRuntimeStatus) fetches ``/api/status`` without a cookie
as its sole liveness probe; the OAuth gate's 401 looked identical to
'agent dead' on the portal side.

Fix: lift the allowlist into hermes_cli/dashboard_auth/public_paths.py
and have both middlewares import it. _path_is_public now consults
the shared frozenset first, then falls back to the gate's
auth-bootstrap/static prefix list. Future additions to the public list
hit both gates automatically.

Endpoint inventory (verified safe to remain public):

* /api/status            — version, gateway state, active session count,
                           auth-gate shape. Portal liveness probe target.
* /api/config/defaults   — config-defaults feed for the SPA's Config page
* /api/config/schema     — config schema for the SPA's Config page
* /api/model/info        — model catalogue metadata (context windows)
* /api/dashboard/themes  — theme manifests for the skin engine
* /api/dashboard/plugins — plugin manifests for the dashboard

No user data, no session content, no secrets. Same shape an external
monitoring agent would hit on /healthz.

Tests:

* New: test_gated_status_is_public (regression guard with the NAS
  fly-provider.ts liveness-probe rationale spelled out in the docstring)
* New: test_other_public_api_paths_are_public_under_gate (parametrised
  over the rest of PUBLIC_API_PATHS — proves 401 / 302-to-login is
  never the response)
* New: docker integration check NousResearch#3 in
  test_dashboard_oauth_gate_engaged_by_default — /api/status
  remains 200 under the gate AND reports auth_required=True so the
  portal can distinguish modes
* Updated: test_full_login_round_trip_unlocks_gated_api now probes
  /api/sessions instead of /api/status (status is public, so it
  can no longer distinguish 'logged in' from 'gate accidentally
  disabled')
* Updated: TestApi401Envelope (the no-cookie / invalid-cookie /
  dead-cookie tests) probes /api/sessions for the same reason
* Updated: docker integration check #2 in
  test_dashboard_oauth_gate_engaged_by_default probes
  /api/sessions to prove the gate is intercepting
* Removed: dead _login() helper in
  test_dashboard_auth_status_endpoint.py (no longer needed since
  /api/status is reachable cold)

…earch#33438)

When docker.sock is mounted (common Docker Compose pattern), the agent
can restart/stop/kill containers without user approval. hermes gateway
restart is already protected, but docker restart, docker stop,
docker kill, and their docker compose equivalents were not.

This caused repeated self-termination: the agent ran docker restart
hermes, killed its own container, Docker restarted it (restart policy),
and the agent resumed the same session — creating a restart loop.

Added patterns mirror the existing gateway lifecycle protection:
- docker compose restart/stop/kill/down
- docker restart/stop/kill

NVIDIA's verified skills catalog (https://github.com/NVIDIA/skills) ships
NVIDIA-signed skills for CUDA-X, AIQ, cuOpt, cuPyNumeric, DeepStream, NeMo,
NemoClaw and the Skill Card Generator — each bundle carrying a detached
`skill.oms.sig` signature, a governance `skill-card.md`, and `evals/`. The
sync pipeline drops any skill missing those artifacts before publishing.

Changes:
- tools/skills_hub.py: add NVIDIA/skills to GitHubSource.DEFAULT_TAPS so
  it lights up in `hermes skills browse`, `hermes skills search <q>`, the
  twice-daily skills-index build, and the docs-site Skills Hub page
  (https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/skills) automatically.
- tools/skills_guard.py: add NVIDIA/skills to TRUSTED_REPOS so installs
  resolve to trust_level="trusted" (looser install policy than community).
- website/scripts/extract-skills.py: map the `github` source id to a
  friendly "NVIDIA" pill label for the docs hub page.
- website/src/pages/skills/index.tsx: register the NVIDIA pill (green
  #76b900) and slot it into SOURCE_ORDER after HuggingFace.
- website/docs/user-guide/features/skills.md (+ zh-Hans i18n): document
  the new default tap and the expanded trusted-repos list.
- tests/tools/test_skills_guard.py: assert NVIDIA/skills resolves to
  "trusted" (including the skills-sh-wrapped form).
- tests/tools/test_skills_hub.py: invariant — every TRUSTED_REPOS entry
  must be reachable via GitHubSource.DEFAULT_TAPS (prevents future
  trusted repos from being declared but never browseable).

Validation:
- Live GitHub fetch: `src.fetch('NVIDIA/skills/skills/aiq-deploy')` pulled
  17 files including SKILL.md (13 KB), skill-card.md, skill.oms.sig, and
  the full references/ + evals/ tree. trust_level="trusted".
- Live inspect resolved name, description, and trust correctly.
- All 193 existing skills_guard + skills_hub tests still pass.
…odal_credentials (NousResearch#33528)

When HOME=/root (Docker containers) and the process runs as unprivileged
user (hermes, uid 10000), Path.home() / '.modal.toml' raises PermissionError
because /root/ is inaccessible. This crashes the dashboard /api/skills endpoint.

Catch PermissionError/OSError and treat as 'no config file'. Env vars still
take priority (tested).

Fixes NousResearch#33525
The opencode-go relay defaults max_tokens to 262144 when none is sent,
but Xiami mimo-v2.5-pro only supports 131072 completion tokens — every
request 400s with "max_tokens is too large: 262144" before the agent
can do anything.

Add a get_max_tokens(model) hook on ProviderProfile (default returns
default_max_tokens) so profiles fronting multiple upstreams can vary
the cap per-model. Wire chat_completions transport through the hook.
Override on OpenCodeGoProfile with mimo-v2.5-pro=131072.

Only mimo-v2.5-pro is capped — other opencode-go models (kimi, glm,
qwen, minimax, other mimo variants) unchanged.

Mnemosyne is a community-maintained Hermes memory provider plugin
that fills a documented gap in the bundled provider set:

- Largest tool surface of any provider (19 tools vs Honcho's 5).
- Only provider with hybrid semantic + FTS5 + temporal ranking in one
  query.
- Only fully-local provider (beyond Holographic/ByteRover) with vector
  search, full-text search, and a knowledge graph in one engine.
- Free + MIT + no API key + no quotas + no network egress.

Per the issue's 'Minimal' acceptance criteria (no Hermes core code
changes required), this PR:

1. Adds Mnemosyne to the front-matter description, the providers
   inventory line ('9 external memory provider plugins + 1 community
   provider'), and the example config-yaml comment.
2. Adds a full provider section under ### Memori with:
   - Best-for / Requires / Storage / Cost block
   - All 19 tools listed
   - Setup snippet showing pip install + plugin symlink + provider
     selection
   - Key capabilities summary
   - Lifecycle integration audit (which optional hooks are
     implemented vs not)
   - Explicit community-maintained status note pointing bug reports
     to the Mnemosyne project.
3. Adds a Mnemosyne row to the Provider Comparison table with a
   footnote distinguishing it from bundled providers.

The 'community-maintained' framing is intentional: the issue's
request was visibility, not promotion to first-party. The plugin-
discovery system already supports user-installed providers via
$HERMES_HOME/plugins/, so documentation is the only blocker.

…ace uv with pipx

Three changes:

1. **Entry-point provider discovery** —  now
   scans  entry points in addition to
   directory-based providers. pipx/pip-installed memory provider packages
   are auto-discovered without symlinks or directory copies.

2. **pipx over uv** —  uses
   instead of  for plugin dependencies. pipx installs
   packages to stable isolated locations so updates don't break paths.

3. **Precedence** — bundled > user-installed > entry-point, so existing
   directory-based setups keep working unchanged.

Fixes mnemosyne-oss/mnemosyne#240 — mnemosyne-hermes plugin now surfaces
as 'installed' via entry-point discovery, no workaround needed.

NousResearch#34192 reports Hostinger's 'Hermes WebUI' catalog crashes on startup
with:

  /usr/bin/tini: No such file or directory

The image moved from tini to s6-overlay as PID 1 (/init) earlier in
2026. Orchestration templates that still pin /usr/bin/tini as the
entrypoint \u2014 like the Hostinger Hermes WebUI catalog \u2014 have no
binary to exec and the container crashes immediately.

Hermes has no control over the Hostinger catalog template, but we can
make the image backward-compatible by symlinking /usr/bin/tini -> /init
during the s6-overlay install step. External wrappers that exec
/usr/bin/tini will land on the same s6-overlay reaper they would have
landed on if they'd used the canonical /init entrypoint.

The image's own ENTRYPOINT continues to be /init verbatim \u2014 the shim
is purely for legacy external wrappers, not for the image's own
runtime path. Once affected catalogs are updated, the symlink can be
removed.

Other issues NousResearch#34192 raises that are NOT addressed by this PR:

  * Problem #2 (UID 1024 vs 10000 mismatch): already fixed by NousResearch#33148
    (S6_KEEP_ENV=1) and NousResearch#32412 (with-contenv shebangs). The Hostinger
    template likely needs to update its env-var propagation.

  * Problem NousResearch#3 (incompatible session formats): RFC for pluggable
    SessionDB is tracked in NousResearch#23717.

  * Problem NousResearch#4 (Telegram polling conflict): an operations problem on
    Hostinger's side, not in this codebase.

This PR is scoped to the one issue that can be fixed inside
Dockerfile: the missing /usr/bin/tini binary.

Tests (3 in test_dockerfile_tini_compat_shim.py):

  - test_tini_compat_symlink_present
    Guard: the symlink line must exist in Dockerfile.
  - test_tini_compat_comment_explains_why
    The NousResearch#34192 anchor comment must be present so future readers know
    why the shim is there (avoid accidental removal).
  - test_entrypoint_still_init_not_tini
    Sanity check: ENTRYPOINT remains /init (s6-overlay). The shim is
    only for external wrappers.

Refs: NousResearch#34192
Partial fix: addresses the immediate tini-binary crash. Catalog-side
fixes still needed by Hostinger for the UID and session-format

…bes + test-leak fix (NousResearch#40909)

* fix(gateway,windows): reliability — supervisor task, JOB breakaway, status --deep

Three coordinated fixes for the Windows gateway reliability story:

1. CREATE_BREAKAWAY_FROM_JOB on every detached spawn

   The 'hermes update' triggered from the Electron Desktop GUI ran inside
   Electron's job object. Without breakaway, the post-update gateway
   watcher spawned by update — already DETACHED_PROCESS — was still
   reaped when Electron's job tore down, so the gateway never came back
   after a GUI-initiated update. Adds CREATE_BREAKAWAY_FROM_JOB (0x01000000)
   to:
     - hermes_cli/_subprocess_compat.py::windows_detach_flags() — used by
       every helper that calls windows_detach_popen_kwargs(), including
       launch_detached_profile_gateway_restart()
     - The watcher subprocess's own respawn snippet in
       hermes_cli/gateway.py (inlined flags so the watcher's child
       respawn also breaks away)

   _spawn_detached() in gateway_windows.py already had the flag; this
   change brings the rest of the codebase to parity.

2. Per-minute supervisor Scheduled Task — Windows equivalent of
   systemd Restart=always

   Introduces hermes_cli/gateway_supervisor.py and registers it as a
   second Scheduled Task ('Hermes_Gateway_Supervisor', SC MINUTE /MO 1,
   LIMITED rights) alongside the existing ONLOGON task. Every minute,
   the supervisor uses the same gateway.status.get_running_pid() probe
   as 'hermes gateway status' and, if no gateway is alive, calls
   gateway_windows._spawn_detached() (which now includes BREAKAWAY) to
   bring one back.

   Covers every crash mode, not just 'machine rebooted': taskkill,
   OOM, GUI update SIGTERM, parent job teardown. Cheap — one pythonw
   startup per minute when down, one PID-existence check per minute
   when up.

   Wired into both the schtasks-success and Startup-folder-fallback
   install paths via _install_supervisor_best_effort(), and removed in
   uninstall(). Best-effort: a failing supervisor install logs a
   warning but doesn't roll back the primary install.

3. 'hermes gateway status --deep' shows per-probe PASS/FAIL

   Replaces the existing terse '--deep' output (which only printed
   paths) with an actual diagnostic table:
     [1] PID file present
     [2] Lock file held by a live process
     [3] get_running_pid() result
     [4] _pid_exists(pid) — OS-level liveness
     [5] gateway_state.json (state + age)
     [6] Last lifecycle event from gateway-exit-diag.log

   When the high-level summary disagrees with reality, the user can
   see exactly which signal is lying.

Test-leak fix
-------------

tests/hermes_cli/test_gateway_wsl.py::TestGatewayCommandWSLMessages
monkey-patched is_linux/is_wsl/supports_systemd_services to simulate
WSL but did NOT stub is_windows(). On a Windows host, the dispatcher
in _gateway_command_inner takes the is_windows() branch BEFORE the
WSL guidance branch, so the test invoked gateway_windows.install()
for real. install() writes to %APPDATA%\...\Startup\Hermes_Gateway.cmd
— the REAL user Startup folder, never sandboxed by tmp_path — pointing
at the test's pytest-of-<user>/pytest-<N>/.../gateway-service/ wrapper.
When pytest tore down the tmp_path, every subsequent Windows login
flashed a cmd.exe window that failed to find the missing target.

Stubs is_windows=False on all four affected tests:
  test_install_wsl_no_systemd
  test_start_wsl_no_systemd
  test_status_wsl_running_manual
  test_status_wsl_not_running

Defense-in-depth: _build_startup_launcher() now prefixes the launcher
with 'if not exist <target> exit /b 0', so any future stale Startup
entry silently no-ops instead of flashing a console window.

Status enhancements
-------------------

- status() now reports supervisor task presence alongside the existing
  schtasks/Startup info, and nudges the user to reinstall if the
  supervisor isn't registered.
- Deep mode dumps both the supervisor task name + script path.

* fix(gateway,windows): drop the per-minute supervisor task — keep breakaway + deep probes

Earlier in this branch we added a per-minute schtasks-based supervisor to
respawn the gateway after crashes / GUI-update SIGTERMs. The implementation
flashed a brief console window on every firing, which stole window focus.
We tried several variants:

  - cmd.exe wrapper invoking pythonw  -> flashes (cmd.exe is console-subsystem)
  - schtasks /TR pointing at pythonw  -> flashes (uv venv launcher pythonw is
    actually subsystem=Console, not GUI; it respawns the real pythonw)
  - schtasks /TR pointing at base uv  -> still flashes (Task Scheduler-side
    conhost preallocation; documented Windows quirk)
  - XML registration with <Hidden>true>  -> still flashes (<Hidden> only hides
    the task in the Task Scheduler UI, not the spawned window)

Researched what leading projects do:

  - Ollama: GUI-subsystem tray exe + Startup-folder shortcut. No supervisor.
  - Tailscale: real Windows Service via SCM. Session 0, no console possible.
  - Syncthing: --no-console flag inside the binary + Startup folder.
  - openclaw: VBS Run(..., 0, False) wrapper. Suppresses the *window* but
    Super User Q971162 confirms focus-steal still occurs in some cases.

None of these use a per-minute polling scheduled task. The 'auto-restart on
crash' responsibility belongs INSIDE the daemon (Tailscale's in-process
recovery / Ollama's monitor+worker pair) OR is delegated to the Windows
Service Control Manager — not Task Scheduler.

So this commit drops the supervisor entirely. The CREATE_BREAKAWAY_FROM_JOB
fix in _subprocess_compat.py (from commit c1e5fa4) survives — that is the
*real* fix for problem #2 (GUI-update kills gateway): the post-update
watcher in launch_detached_profile_gateway_restart() now breaks out of
Electron's job object, so the gateway respawn watcher survives the GUI
quit and successfully respawns the gateway.

Surviving from c1e5fa4:
  * CREATE_BREAKAWAY_FROM_JOB in hermes_cli/_subprocess_compat.py (fixes #2)
  * Inlined breakaway flag in the watcher respawn snippet in gateway.py
  * hermes gateway status --deep PASS/FAIL probes (fixes #1 — visibility)
  * 'if not exist <target> exit /b 0' guard in _build_startup_launcher
    (fixes NousResearch#3 — silent no-op for stale Startup entries)
  * tests/hermes_cli/test_gateway_wsl.py is_windows=False stubs (root cause
    of NousResearch#3 — pytest WSL tests no longer leak Startup entries on Win hosts)

Removed in this commit:
  * hermes_cli/gateway_supervisor.py (entire file)
  * Supervisor section in hermes_cli/gateway_windows.py (~180 lines):
      get_supervisor_task_name, get_supervisor_script_path,
      _build_supervisor_cmd_script, _write_supervisor_script,
      _install_supervisor_task, is_supervisor_task_registered,
      _install_supervisor_best_effort
  * _install_supervisor_best_effort() calls in install() (3 spots)
  * supervisor cleanup block in uninstall()
  * supervisor display lines in status() / status(deep=True)

Future direction (out of scope for this PR): the right place for Windows
'Restart=always' semantics is a real Windows Service installed via
pywin32's win32serviceutil.ServiceFramework — session-0 isolation, SCM
auto-restart, no console window possible. That's a meaningful next-PR
project, not a band-aid.

Tests: 51 pass / 2 pre-existing failures in
tests/hermes_cli/test_gateway_{windows,wsl}.py (the 2 failures are
TestSupportsSystemdServicesWSL cases that fail on origin/main too —
unrelated to this PR).

…bound/outbound round-trip (NousResearch#48828)

* fix(relay): enable RELAY platform + normalize dial URL so hosted gateways actually connect

Three bugs blocked a self-provisioned hosted gateway from ever establishing its
inbound relay WS (found while standing up the live staging end-to-end). Each
masked the next; all three are needed for inbound to work.

1. RELAY platform never enabled in config.platforms (gateway/config.py).
   register_relay_adapter() puts the adapter in the platform_registry, but
   start_gateway()'s connect loop iterates self.config.platforms — which never
   contained Platform.RELAY. So the adapter was "registered" but never connected
   (logs showed "relay adapter registered" then "No messaging platforms
   enabled"). Fix: _apply_env_overrides now enables Platform.RELAY (mirroring
   relay_url into extra for the connected-checker) when GATEWAY_RELAY_URL (env)
   or gateway.relay_url (yaml) is set. Absent -> no RELAY entry (direct/
   single-tenant gateways unaffected).

2. URL scheme not converted for the WS dial (gateway/relay/ws_transport.py).
   The relay URL is configured once as the http(s):// base (used as-is for the
   provision POST), but websockets.connect rejects http(s):// with "scheme isn't
   ws or wss". Fix: _ws_dial_url converts https->wss / http->ws.

3. /relay path not appended (same helper). The connector mounts its
   WebSocketServer at path "/relay" and returns HTTP 400 on an upgrade to any
   other path. GATEWAY_RELAY_URL is the base (no /relay), so the dial hit "/"
   -> 400. Fix: _ws_dial_url ensures the path ends in /relay. Idempotent — a URL
   already carrying ws(s):// and/or /relay is unchanged, so provision's
   _provision_url (which derives /relay/provision from either form) still works.

Why the cross-repo E2E missed #2/NousResearch#3: the stub connector binds ws://host:port and
its websockets.serve accepts ANY path, so neither the scheme nor the /relay path
was exercised. Real connector needs both.

Verified live on staging hermes-agent-stg-automated-perception-5054: after the
fixes the gateway logs "Connecting to relay..." -> "✓ relay connected" ->
"Gateway running with 1 platform(s)" against
wss://gateway-gateway.staging-nousresearch.com/relay, stable.

Tests: added _ws_dial_url scheme+path+idempotency cases (test_ws_transport.py)
and RELAY-platform-enablement cases for env + yaml + absent (test_config.py).
Full gateway/relay + config suites green (191 passed).

Relay-adapter lane. EXPERIMENTAL.

* fix(relay): re-attach guild_id to outbound so connector egress resolves the tenant

The final bug in the hosted-relay round-trip. Inbound worked end to end (Discord
-> connector -> bus -> agent WS -> agent runs -> reply), but the reply's egress
was declined by the connector: "discord egress declined: target not routed to an
onboarded tenant".

Cause: the connector's routedEgressGuard resolves the owning tenant from the
OUTBOUND action's metadata.guild_id (Discord's routing discriminator). The
gateway's generic delivery path builds outbound metadata via
run.py _thread_metadata_for_source, which only carries thread_id (and returns
None entirely for a non-threaded message) — so guild_id never reached the
connector, tenant resolution failed, and the shared bot refused to post.

Fix (relay-adapter-local, no perturbation of the generic delivery path or other
platforms): RelayAdapter learns chat_id -> guild_id from each inbound event
(_capture_scope) and re-attaches it to the outbound action's metadata in send()
(_with_scope) when not already present. No-op for chats we never saw inbound
(e.g. DMs) and never overwrites an explicit guild_id.

Verified live on staging hermes-agent-stg-automated-perception-5054: an
@mention in #general now produces a visible bot reply — full multi-tenant relay
round-trip (real Discord -> shared connector bot -> tenant routing -> agent WS ->
reply egress -> Discord).

Tests: _capture_scope/_with_scope reattach, no-scope no-op, explicit-guild_id
preserved (test_relay_adapter.py). Full relay + config suites green (160 passed).

When context compression rotates a session, the original is ended and the
continuation is auto-numbered (e.g. "name" -> "name #2"). The session list
projects the ended root behind its live tip, so the user never sees the
predecessor. But set_session_title's uniqueness check compared against ALL
sessions, so renaming the visible tip back to "name" dead-ended with
"Title 'name' is already in use by session <id the user can't find>".

When the conflicting title is held by a compression ancestor of the session
being renamed, transfer the title instead of raising: clear it from the
ended predecessor and apply it to the continuation. Uniqueness is preserved
(still exactly one session carries the title) and the parent-link lineage is
untouched, so resume-by-title and tip projection keep working. Genuine
conflicts with unrelated sessions, and with non-compression children
(delegate/branch), still raise as before.

…id (NousResearch#38763)

Context compression today rewrites the message list AND rotates the
session id — it ends the session, forks a parent_session_id child, and
renumbers the title (name -> name #2). That moving identity key is the
root cause of a whole bug cluster: /goal lost (NousResearch#33618), pending response
lost at the split (NousResearch#14238), orphan sessions (NousResearch#33907), TUI sid desync
(NousResearch#36777), FTS search gaps + duplicate sidebar entries (NousResearch#45117), null
continuation cwd (NousResearch#42228), and title-rename dead-ends (NousResearch#48989). It also
forced a large defensive apparatus (compression lock, contextvar/env/
logging triple-sync, orphan finalization, gateway SessionEntry
re-propagation, tip projection) whose only job is surviving a
mid-conversation id change.

Add a compression.in_place config flag (default False during rollout).
When True, compaction rewrites the transcript and rebuilds the system
prompt but keeps the SAME session_id: no end_session, no child row, no
title renumber, no contextvar/logging re-sync, no memory/context-engine
session-switch. The conversation keeps one durable id for life, like
Claude Code / Codex. Compaction is lossy by design — the pre-compaction
transcript is summarized away, not archived.

The rotation path is unchanged when the flag is off (moved verbatim into
an else branch). Staged rollout: this PR ships the option behind a
default-off flag for live validation; a follow-up flips the default and
deletes the now-redundant rotation machinery, superseding the 14 open
band-aid PRs in this area.

- hermes_cli/config.py: add compression.in_place (default False), documented
- agent/agent_init.py: resolve the flag -> agent.compression_in_place
- agent/conversation_compression.py: branch compress_context() on the flag
- tests/run_agent/test_in_place_compaction.py: in-place invariants +
  rotation regression guard + config default

The pre-flush of current-turn messages (NousResearch#47202) runs in BOTH modes, so no
boundary data loss. Prompt-cache invariant preserved: the system-prompt
rebuild is the same single sanctioned invalidation that already happens
during compaction — no NEW invalidation. Message alternation preserved.

…eation snapshot (NousResearch#44585)

An unpinned cron job follows the global default provider (config.yaml
model.default + resolve_runtime_provider). If that global state is changed
after the job is created — e.g. a temporary switch to a paid provider like
nous/claude-fable-5 — the job silently inherits it on its next tick and spends
real money. This is the reported $7.73 incident: a job created under a
free/default provider later inherited a temporary paid switch.

Fix (ask #1 only) preserves the legitimate "unpinned job should follow
model.default" use case by detecting *drift* rather than freezing the model:

- create_job (cron/jobs.py): for UNPINNED, agent-backed jobs (no explicit
  provider, not no_agent), snapshot the provider that resolution WOULD pick
  right now into a new optional `provider_snapshot` field, resolved via the
  same resolve_runtime_provider() path the ticker uses. Fail-open to None on
  any resolution error so job creation never breaks.

- run_job (cron/scheduler.py): right after runtime resolution, if the job has
  a provider_snapshot AND is unpinned AND the currently-resolved provider
  DIFFERS from the snapshot, fail closed for that run — make no paid call and
  deliver a loud, actionable alert naming both providers and telling the user
  to pin explicitly (`cronjob action=update job_id=.. provider=..`).

Back-compat: jobs with no snapshot (pre-existing jobs, no_agent jobs, or any
job whose creation-time resolution failed) behave exactly as before — the
guard only engages when a snapshot exists. Explicitly-pinned jobs (job.provider
set) are unaffected since they don't drift with global state.

Tests: tests/cron/test_cron_provider_pin.py covers snapshot-matches (runs),
snapshot-differs (fail closed, no agent constructed), no-snapshot back-compat,
None-snapshot back-compat, explicitly-pinned (runs regardless), plus create_job
snapshot capture/skip/fail-open. The fail-closed case is load-bearing (fails
without the guard).

Issue NousResearch#44585 asks #2-4 (hard-stop a running job, gateway-stop containment,
fail-closed on provider mutation) are out of scope for this change.

…_id signature churn

Two independent bugs evicted the cached gateway AIAgent on every turn,
preventing the prompt cache from ever warming:

1. Model normalization mismatch: the post-run fallback-eviction check
   compared _agent.model (stripped in AIAgent.__init__) against the raw
   _resolve_gateway_model() config string. For vendor-prefixed config on
   native providers (e.g. 'deepseek/deepseek-v4-pro' vs 'deepseek-v4-pro')
   this was always unequal, so the agent was evicted after every
   successful run. Normalize _cfg_model the same way (skip aggregators).

2. Discord triggering message_id leaked into the cached system prompt via
   build_session_context_prompt()'s Discord IDs block. message_id changes
   every turn, so the agent-cache signature (computed from the ephemeral
   prompt) changed every Discord turn -> rebuild every message. The id is
   now injected per-turn into the user message (where per-turn content
   belongs and does not touch the cache signature); the cached IDs block
   carries a static pointer to it, preserving reply/react/pin via the
   discord tools.

Adapted from NousResearch#28846. Bug #1 fix is the contributor's; bug #2 reworked to
be non-destructive (keeps the triggering-id capability instead of deleting
it). Redundant auto-reset eviction (already on main via NousResearch#9893/NousResearch#48031) and
the wrong-premise reset_context_note plumbing from the original PR were
dropped.

… fail on '(empty)' sentinel

Two related bugs caused subagent delegation to silently return empty summaries
with 0 tokens when the user configured delegation.provider=bedrock alongside
delegation.base_url=https://bedrock-runtime.<region>.amazonaws.com.

Root cause #1 — misrouting in _resolve_delegation_credentials():
  The configured_base_url branch unconditionally forced provider='custom' and
  api_mode='chat_completions', only specializing for chatgpt.com, anthropic,
  and kimi hosts. Bedrock (and other native-SDK providers) fell through as
  'custom' + chat_completions, which then POSTed OpenAI-shaped JSON at
  Bedrock's native API. Bedrock rejected the payload and returned nothing,
  which looked like an empty LLM response to the child agent.

  Fix: when provider is one of {bedrock, vertex, google, google-genai}, skip
  the base_url short-circuit and fall through to resolve_runtime_provider(),
  which knows how to construct the proper SDK client. base_url can still be
  forwarded through that path for regional overrides.

Root cause #2 — '(empty)' sentinel accepted as success:
  After N retries of empty LLM responses, run_agent.py emits the literal
  string '(empty)' as final_response. _run_single_child then hit
  `elif summary:` — '(empty)' is truthy, so status became 'completed' and
  the parent surfaced a blank result with no error. Users saw api_calls=4,
  tokens=0, duration~0.4s, status=completed.

  Fix: treat final_response.strip() == '(empty)' as a failure so the parent
  surfaces it instead of silently accepting zero-content 'success'.

Both paths were reproduced in a live Hermes TUI session on us-west-2 Bedrock
(provider=bedrock, model=us.anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-6) and are covered by
new tests in tests/tools/test_delegate.py.
