What does this PR do?

Syncs the fork with upstream NousResearch/hermes-agent, from the previous sync point 9076adaca5 (2026-08-04) up to 1f8fdc7bd8 (2026-08-14) — 1658 upstream commits, 2267 upstream files changed. A single merge commit with both real parents, so git log --first-parent on main keeps reading as fork history and future syncs still have a proper merge base.

Our own work stays on top of upstream: 48 fork-only commits, now 35 files of fork delta (down from 58). The shrink is not a loss — upstream salvage-merged several of our PRs in the meantime (Slack SDK-response handling NousResearch#74658, kanban wake scope NousResearch#78391, the review-lifecycle lane NousResearch#72554 via NousResearch#83412, the /anthropic auxiliary base_url fix), so those files are byte-identical to upstream now and simply stopped being a delta. Verified file-by-file: every file that dropped out of the delta matches upstream/main exactly.

Conflicts were resolved keeping both sides everywhere — no upstream behaviour was dropped, and no fork feature was lost.

Type of Change

  • 🐛 Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue)
  • ✨ New feature (non-breaking change that adds functionality)
  • 🔒 Security fix
  • 📝 Documentation update
  • ✅ Tests (adding or improving test coverage)
  • ♻️ Refactor (no behavior change) — upstream sync, no fork behaviour change
  • 🎯 New skill (bundled or hub)

Changes Made

  • Merge upstream/main → fork (9076adaca5..1f8fdc7bd8).
  • hermes_cli/config_defaults.py — our slack.strip_bot_mentions default kept alongside the upstream keys added in the same block.
  • tests/gateway/test_slack.py — both sides appended a test class at the end of the file; upstream's TestNativeTaskCardProgress and our TestSlackAuthoredTextDeduplication both survive.
  • plugins/platforms/slack/adapter.py, gateway/run.py — our inbound-file trust policy (base_url origin), rich-text dedup, permalink rendering and per-request proxy client merged with upstream's native task cards / streaming.
  • hermes_cli/kanban.py, hermes_cli/kanban_db.py — our respawn-guard work merged with upstream's review lane, reopen_review_task and descendant invalidation.
  • tests/tools/test_kanban_tools.pythe one real fix, not a textual merge. test_request_review_happy_path called the tool without a run id. Upstream has since made the review handoff CAS-guarded (a task running under a live claim may only be moved by the worker that owns the run), so the test now exports the claimed run id the way the dispatcher does for its worker — it exercises the real worker path instead of an anonymous call. Also un-glued two function definitions that a previous merge had joined without blank lines.

How to Test

  1. scripts/run_tests.sh tests/tools/test_kanban_tools.py tests/tools/test_send_message_tool.py tests/gateway/test_config.py tests/gateway/test_slack.py tests/gateway/test_slack_download_ssrf.py tests/gateway/test_slack_strip_bot_mentions.py tests/gateway/test_slack_sdk_response.py -q7 files, 511 tests passed, 0 failed.
  2. scripts/run_tests.sh (full suite) → 17 files / 25 failures + 11 files that cannot import the optional acp package.
  3. Same 17 files run against a clean upstream/main worktree in the same venv → identical 17 files / 25 failures. Every red is pre-existing and environment-bound (missing optional deps, macOS audio stack), not a merge regression.

Checklist

Code

…ob creation

A job created from within a cron run must never store the literal
'origin' delivery target: the creating session is ephemeral, so by fire
time there is no origin to resolve and the scheduler falls back to
guessing a home channel. With agent scheduling enabled
(cron.allow_agent_scheduling), a scheduled agent creating follow-up jobs
would silently produce exactly that dangling shape.

Resolve at create time instead, in cron context only: 'origin' elements
(and an omitted deliver) are replaced with the creating run's concrete
target from the per-run HERMES_CRON_AUTO_DELIVER_* contextvars —
platform:chat_id[:thread_id], or 'local' when the creating run has no
concrete target. Explicit values ('local', 'all', platform:chat_id
targets) pass through verbatim, including inside comma lists. Chat and
CLI creates are byte-identical to before: the resolver is a no-op
outside cron-context sessions (HERMES_CRON_SESSION unset).
Review caught a real gap: action='update' also accepts deliver, and the
tool description explicitly steers agents toward update-over-create — so
a cron-context agent updating a job to deliver='origin' would recreate
exactly the dangling literal-origin shape the create-path resolution
prevents (stored 'origin' on an origin-less job → fire-time home-channel
guessing or silent drop).

Wrap the update site in the same resolver. Semantics follow the create
precedent: in cron context, 'origin' means 'my run's target', resolved
concretely at mutation time; outside cron context updates are
byte-identical to before.

* feat: server-side ui_meta on profiles.list/configure

Roster UIs built on profiles.* have per-profile presentation state
(avatar, accent color, display title, pet) with nowhere server-side to
live — client plugin storage paints a different roster on every
machine. profiles.configure now accepts ui_meta (merged key-wise into
profile.yaml's ui_meta block via the existing atomic_yaml_write path,
null deletes a key, 64KB cap since it rides every roster paint) and
profiles.list returns the block per row. Consumers namespace under
their own key. No new files or config; profiles without the block are
unchanged.

* test: stop primary-runtime-restore tests probing live endpoints

_make_agent left the compressor's lazy context-length resolution
unmocked; for reachable base_urls (the nous portal test) the endpoint's
32K answer for the empty test model trips agent_init's 64K floor and
fails the suite on network behavior. Pin get_model_context_length in
the fixture.
…S sends

voice.toggle (status) triggers check_voice_requirements() -> STT provider
auto-detect -> a synchronous faster-whisper lazy install (uv/pip subprocess
with a 300s timeout). Inline on the WS reader thread it stalls handle_ws
before it reads the next frame, so prompt.submit / session.list queued
behind a voice.toggle sit unread and the desktop 'send message' appears
dead for minutes while the install churns (reproduced: voice.toggle ->
session.list 40s+ timeout).

Route voice.toggle/voice.record/voice.tts to the RPC pool (same bug class
as NousResearch#21123 / NousResearch#50005) so a slow lazy install can't block message handling.
Adapt the voice handler tests to drive the handler inline via a small
_dispatch_sync helper (preserving transport-binding semantics) since
dispatch() now returns None for pool-routed methods, and add a regression
test asserting the voice RPCs stay pool-routed.
…ll chain

wake.start calls check_wake_word_requirements() → _stt_ready() →
_get_provider() → _try_lazy_install_stt() → ensure("stt.faster_whisper")
(same synchronous subprocess install chain as voice.toggle), and
start_listening() → _build_engine() whose constructors call
lazy_deps.ensure("wake.openwakeword" / "wake.sherpa" / …).
wake.status calls check_wake_word_requirements() too and is polled
by the desktop on every gateway-ready. Same bug class as NousResearch#21123 /
NousResearch#50005 — sibling to the voice RPC fix in the prior commit.

Update existing wake.start test call sites from server.dispatch() to
_dispatch_sync() since dispatch() now returns None for pool-routed
methods. Extend the pool-routing regression test to cover wake RPCs.
Bare noreply form (no +<id> prefix) needs an explicit mapping file
for check-attribution CI.
voice.toggle is now pool-routed (returns None from dispatch), so the
audio playback guard test must call handle_request directly to get
the response dict.
…dpoint catalogs

'' is a substring of every catalog key, so _resolve_endpoint_context_length
with an empty model name "matched" whatever the endpoint listed first —
on the Nous portal that is currently a 32K embedding model, which poisoned
the resolved context length and made AIAgent init fail the 64K minimum.
This is what turned tests/run_agent/test_primary_runtime_restore.py::
TestTryRecoverPrimaryTransport::test_allowed_for_nous_anthropic_messages
red on every PR (CI slice 7/12) after the portal catalog reordered.

Single-model endpoints still resolve with an empty name (unambiguous);
non-empty names keep the substring fuzzy match.
… live orchestration

Companion docs for NousResearch#85232 — adds the model-facing control section
(list/steer/stop, ownership scoping, spawn-cap exemption) above the
existing TUI/gateway subagent.steer RPC docs.
docs.x.ai (2026-08-12): grok-4.6 is the flagship, 500K context.
Live GET /v1/models lists grok-4.6 at context_length 500000
(no grok-4.6-latest alias).

NousResearch#84661 landed the catalog. Main already lists native grok-4.6
on the xAI picker. This is only the leftover cache guard
(same pattern as grok-4.3): pre-catalog builds persisted the
grok-4 catch-all (256K).
Replaces the per-model _model_name_suggests_grok_4_3/_grok_4_6/
_minimax_m3 stale-cache predicates with one generic
_stale_pre_catalog_cache_entry() guard driven by
_PRE_CATALOG_STALE_KEYS. A cached context length is dropped when the
model resolves (longest-key-first, same as step 8) to a listed catalog
key and the cached value is at or below what the old resolution path
could have produced (largest shorter matching catch-all, or the 256K
fallback).

Also covers qwen3.6-plus, grok-4-fast, and grok-4.20 (the models
PR NousResearch#37684 requested guards for), absorbing that PR.

_model_name_suggests_minimax_m3 is kept for its two non-cache callers
(models.dev underreport guard, cache-control gating in
agent_runtime_helpers).
Slack Web API calls return `SlackResponse`/`AsyncSlackResponse`, which are
mapping-like but not `dict` subclasses, so every `isinstance(resp, dict)`
gate took its "unexpected shape" branch at runtime: user and channel names
collapsed to raw IDs, every user resolved as a non-bot (defeating the
allow_bots loop guard), ephemeral replies were reported as failures, and
uploads/caption fallbacks lost their message_id.

Normalize responses through a single `_slack_response_payload()` helper
(dict passes through, SDK response yields `.data`, anything else yields
`{}` so callers keep their fallbacks) and use it at every call site.

Existing Slack tests injected plain dicts, which is why the defect was
invisible; the new tests run each behavioral case against a real
`AsyncSlackResponse` as well.
…se reads

Review on NousResearch#74658 flagged that the response-shape suite exercised identity,
ephemeral and upload paths but left two changed call sites untested:

- create_handoff_thread's seed-message ts (adapter.py:2262), which anchors
  every subsequent handoff send onto the thread;
- the standalone media branch's chat_postMessage reads (adapter.py:8721 text
  post, :8749 caption fallback), where an SDK-shaped reply used to drop the
  ts and report a caption-only delivery as 'nothing deliverable'.

Both new cases run against the hand-rolled stand-in and the real
AsyncSlackResponse. Verified they fail against the pre-fix adapter.

…m endpoints

The custom + explicit_base_url branch of resolve_provider_client()
unconditionally rewrote a trailing /anthropic to /v1 via
_to_openai_base_url(), even when api_mode was anthropic_messages. The
Anthropic wrapper then never saw the real /anthropic path, so auxiliary
tasks (title generation, compression, vision, web_extract,
session_search) hit .../v1/chat/completions on a Messages-only endpoint
and failed.

Guard the wrap base on api_mode: for anthropic_messages, pass the raw
/anthropic base to _wrap_if_needed (which builds the Anthropic wrapper),
while the plain OpenAI client keeps the /v1-rewritten base so the
OpenAI-wire fallback (used when the anthropic SDK is unavailable) never
lands on /anthropic/chat/completions.

and @liuhao1024 (NousResearch#43130).

Widens the bundled Langfuse plugin from 6 to 11 hooks and fixes two
attribution bugs. Also adopts shutdown/atexit lifecycle fixes and composes
8 prior community PRs with interaction-fix follow-ups.

Model attribution: on_pre_llm_request and on_post_llm_call now prefer the
wire value (request body model, response model) over the agent attribute,
which goes stale after /model switch or provider fallback.

Cost total: both cost paths now send a summed total alongside the per-type
breakdown, since Langfuse does not derive calculatedTotalCost from
cost_details keys. Subscription-included routes send no cost keys at all.

New coverage: api_request_error closes failed generations with ERROR level;
on_session_finalize/on_session_end close dangling traces for tool-only and
interrupted turns; subagent_start/subagent_stop trace delegated children as
spans; MoA advisor fan-out emits one generation per advisor priced at the
advisor's own model.

Capture modes: HERMES_LANGFUSE_CAPTURE=metadata|sanitized|full (default
sanitized). Sanitized mode redacts secret patterns before truncation.

Adopted lifecycle fixes: shutdown client at session finalize when
reason=shutdown (not on session rotation); atexit finalizer ends open root
spans for short-lived processes; root context manager exited to prevent
interpreter-teardown TypeError; TOCTOU on _get_langfuse() fixed with lock;
reasoning_content surfaced in traces; system prompt included in generation
input for Anthropic/Codex/Bedrock; SDK v3 update_trace replaces set_trace_io.

Closes NousResearch#29482, NousResearch#43129, NousResearch#72661.

Partially addresses NousResearch#67544 (capture modes + secret redaction; user_id remains open).
Follow-up fixes from /hermes-pr-review + /simplify-code on PR NousResearch#83437:

1. Replace _redact_secrets with agent.redact.redact_sensitive_text(force=True)
   — the plugin's 11-pattern list was a strict subset of the 50+ patterns in
   agent/redact.py. Secrets like Stripe keys, Google API keys, GitLab tokens,
   HuggingFace tokens, DB connection strings, and Telegram bot tokens would
   all leak through the plugin's list but are caught by the existing redactor.
   Added pk-lf- (Langfuse public key) to _PREFIX_PATTERNS in agent/redact.py.

2. Remove dead 'not isinstance(client, object)' check in on_session_finalize —
   always False for any Python value.

3. Fix MoAClient.last_reference_metrics() to call the public
   self.chat.completions.last_reference_metrics() instead of reaching into
   the private _last_reference_metrics attribute via getattr.

4. Deduplicate _coerce_request_messages call in on_pre_llm_request — pass
   pre_coerced=input_messages to _messages_for_langfuse_input to avoid
   double-coercion + double _capture_content serialization per API request.

5. Add HERMES_LANGFUSE_CAPTURE to OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS in hermes_cli/config.py
   for consistency with the other HERMES_LANGFUSE_* env vars.

6. Fix test_sanitized_mode_redacts_secrets test data — the old samples
   ('sk-abc...1234', 'sk-ant...1234', 'Authorization: Bearer ***') were too
   short to match the regex thresholds and never actually tested redaction.
   Updated to realistic-length secrets and changed assertions to check that
   the output differs from input (redact_sensitive_text masks rather than
   inserting the literal string 'REDACTED').
…loop.py

The diff-apply salvage introduced stale-base revert hunks — the PR was 1246
commits behind main, and its diff for conversation_loop.py and moa_loop.py
silently dropped symbols added after the PR's base (e.g.
_CODEX_ACK_CONTINUATION_NUDGE, _INTERRUPT_SCAFFOLD_MARKER, cache_ttl plumbing,
finalize_turn import, _restore_user_after_reference_handoff).

Restored both files to origin/main and re-applied only the PR's additive
changes: _moa_reference_metrics_for_hook, _system_prompt_for_hooks, the
system_prompt= and moa_references= hook kwargs, _last_reference_metrics
attribute and accessors, and the slot_metrics population in the fan-out path.

Fixes CI ImportError: cannot import name '_CODEX_ACK_CONTINUATION_NUDGE' from
'agent.conversation_loop'.
Continuous gateway sessions keep the Relay session scope open for days;
close-driven export means the session root span and out-of-turn marks
never export until /new or idle-end, and a crash loses the open segment
entirely.

Opt-in segmentation (both defaults OFF => scope lifecycle byte-identical
to today):

  gateway.telemetry.session_segments.on_compaction: false
  gateway.telemetry.session_segments.max_turns: 0

Rotation closes the current session scope and pushes the next segment
(same session_id attribute, plus hermes.session.segment=N and
segment_reason=compaction|max_turns) ONLY at a turn boundary in
begin_turn — never mid-turn (scope stack is LIFO). Compaction completion
just flags rotate_pending (observer semantics, nothing on the compaction
critical path); legacy rotating compaction closes the orphaned old
session scope so its segment exports. Both native calls ride the
existing bounded scope-op executor: a wedged rotation costs one segment
span, never the agent. Segment bookkeeping advances even on native
failure so a degraded rotation cannot retry every turn.
notify_session_compacted closed the old session scope immediately on a
legacy rotating compaction. A compaction can complete while a turn is
still live on the old session; closing then pops the session scope under
the live turn scope, violating the stack's LIFO order — the exact
invariant the rest of the segmentation feature protects.

Now: when the old session has an active turn, set close_pending instead;
that turn's end_turn consumes the flag after its own turn scope pops and
it unregisters from the active-turn table. Sabotage-verified: the new
test fails without the fix.
Adds an observability/nemo_relay section to the built-in plugins page
(the plugin had no section despite appearing in the shipped table) with
the gateway.telemetry.session_segments keys, defaults-off contract, and
segment metadata; mirrors a summary in the plugin README.
…ource, setup templates, memory indicators, error hints

Bundles previously-separate Hindsight/memory PRs into a single review surface:
- opt-in synchronous recall (recall_sync) — recall the injected memory in-turn instead of next-turn prefetch (NousResearch#5820)
- actionable error when local_embedded runtime is missing — tells the user which package to install (NousResearch#7718)
- default retain_source to 'hermes' so every stored memory self-identifies its provenance
- offer a starter memory template during hermes memory setup, plus warn before overwriting an already-configured bank
- warn when a configured memory provider reports unavailable (NousResearch#2765)
- deterministic 'recalled N memories' recall indicator — Hermes itself emits a status line when auto-recall injects memory
- 'saving to memory' retain indicator — emitted the moment a turn is dispatched to the writer

1. Use open_credentialed_url() instead of bare urlopen() in
   templates.py apply_template() and probe_existing_customization().
   Both send Authorization: Bearer headers; bare urlopen forwards
   credentials on cross-origin redirects. The codebase has
   open_credentialed_url() in hermes_cli/urllib_security.py that
   strips credentials on cross-origin redirects — used by 4 other
   modules.

2. Guard unavailable_reason() with the dedup set check before
   calling it. The gateway builds a fresh AIAgent per message, so
   without this guard unavailable_reason() (which calls _load_config()
   → stat + file read + JSON parse, and _check_local_runtime() →
   importlib probes) runs on every gateway turn for an unavailable
   provider, even though the warning is deduped after the first.

3. Move INDICATOR_GLYPH from Hindsight's eye emoji to a generic
   brain (🧠) in core (agent/memory_provider.py). Hindsight overrides
   with its own _HINDSIGHT_GLYPH (👁️) in recall_status() and
   _emit_saving_indicator(). Other memory providers no longer inherit
   Hindsight's brand mark as the default glyph.
…apture + preflight fronted-platform blindness

Bug 1: relay-fronted Slack in thread-per-message mode stamps each top-level
message's own id as source.thread_id (session KEYING, native thread_ts
parity). Cron origin capture persisted that stamp as durable routing, so
every delivery landed inside the ephemeral thread spawned around the
creation message instead of the top-level conversation. Fix at the source:
_origin_from_env drops a Slack thread id equal to the creation message's
own id (genuine in-thread creations keep theirs). Fire-time repair for
already-persisted jobs: deliver=origin and the explicit-target Slack
re-attach treat an origin thread as stale when the origin chat is the
configured Slack home chat — top-level (or the home target's configured
thread) wins; non-home working threads are preserved.

Bug 2: _preflight_check_delivery and cron_delivery_targets validated
deliver prefixes against get_connected_platforms(), which only sees
natively configured platforms — a relay-only deployment ({relay}) rejected
'slack:CHAT' with 'no gateway credentials configured' although fire-time
routing (resolve_delivery_transport + RelayAdapter.fronts_platform)
delivers it. New gateway.relay.relay_fronted_platforms() (env-derived from
GATEWAY_RELAY_PLATFORMS — the same source that seeds the live adapter's
identity set, so validation and routing cannot disagree) is unioned into
the connected set when the relay is connected. Native topologies keep the
strict credential check unchanged.
… session thread as the home target

Third lane of the same contract (found in live staging validation):
/sethome run as a top-level relay-fronted Slack DM message captured the
adapter's session-keying thread stamp (the /sethome message's own id)
into the persisted HomeChannel.thread_id and its legacy env mirror.
Every bare-platform delivery (deliver="slack") then resolved home chat +
home thread and landed inside the ephemeral thread around the old
/sethome message. Extracted _home_thread_from_source with the same
synthetic-stamp recognition as cron origin capture; a /sethome run
inside a genuine thread keeps that thread as the home target. Users
repair an already-poisoned home target by rerunning /sethome.
…session routing

Salvage of NousResearch#37865 by @verybigdog. Adds delivery_mode (notify / notify+wake / wake)
on kanban notify subscriptions, persists chat_type + user_id_alt so a woken turn
reconstructs the creator's real session key, inherits the return path to child
tasks, and keeps wake out of the model-exposed send_message schema.

Original commits were authored under a local placeholder identity
(hermes-agent@users.noreply.local); re-attributed to the contributor's
public email.
…rst migration

Before delivery_mode existed the notifier woke unconditionally when the task
carried a session_id — pre-existing gateway subscriptions had de facto active
wake. The column's 'notify' default alone would silently disable that on
upgrade. Backfill gateway rows to notify+wake on first-add only (tui stays
notify); explicit user downgrades are never overwritten by re-migration.
Sabotage-verified regression tests included.
api_server is stateless — its adapter has no push send(), so the wake
self-post IS the delivery on that path. Defaulting those subscriptions to
plain 'notify' left them with no delivery mechanism at all (the notifier's
doomed send() failed 12 times then dropped the sub), regressing the
pre-delivery_mode behavior and failing
test_apiserver_sub_wakes_real_session_via_self_post in CI slice 5.
Explicit modes still win; other platforms keep the 'notify' default.
An empty/blank model id reaching get_model_context_length() can't be
meaningfully resolved — and it's worse than a miss: the endpoint
metadata fuzzy matcher ('model in key or key in model') is vacuously
true for "", so it matches an ARBITRARY catalog entry from the live
/v1/models response and returns whatever context length that entry
happens to have, persisting it under a junk '@<base_url>' cache key.

This started failing CI on main when the Nous portal catalog changed:
tests/run_agent/test_primary_runtime_restore.py constructs agents with
model='' against the live portal URL, the arbitrary match now lands on
a 32K entry, and init_agent raises the 64K-floor ValueError
(test_allowed_for_nous_anthropic_messages, red on every PR's slice).

Guard early: a blank model id falls back to DEFAULT_FALLBACK_CONTEXT
immediately, before any cache write or network probe.

Salvaged from NousResearch#65515 by @whirmill (rebased onto current main; the
guard now sits after the malformed-base_url normalization added since,
and carries an explanatory comment for the fuzzy-match footgun).

Fixes the red slice on NousResearch#85444, NousResearch#85452 and every other open PR.

…d marker can't wedge the gateway (NousResearch#85433)

The NS-570 epoch stamp clears a drain marker that survives a machine
restart — but it assumes every drain-gated action ends in a restart. When
a maintenance action completes WITHOUT recreating the container and the
writer never cancels the drain, the orphaned marker still carries the
current epoch, so the 1s drain watcher honours it forever and the gateway
bounces every inbound message with the 'draining for a maintenance
action' text (observed in the field: a Hermes Cloud instance refused all
Telegram turns for ~3 days).

The marker already records requested_at; now the readers check it. A
marker older than DRAIN_REQUEST_MAX_AGE_SECONDS (1h) reads as stale in
drain_requested() and drain_notification_suppressed(), with a loud
warning log. Leniency mirrors the epoch check: a missing or unparseable
timestamp still reads as drain-active (fail-safe toward quiescing), and
a legitimately long drain keeps a sanctioned keep-alive — re-calling
write_drain_request() refreshes requested_at.

_inject_watch_notification, but were persisted as bare role='user' rows —
indistinguishable from real user input in transcripts and the desktop UI.

Thread the event's internal flag through to persistence: when
event.internal is set, the turn's persisted user row is stamped
display_kind='internal_notification' (the existing DB-only presentation
sidecar used by auto_continue / model_switch rows). Wired through
_run_agent → _run_agent_inner → TurnContext → run_conversation's
persist_user_display_kind, and onto the three gateway-side fallback user
rows (transient failure, no-new-messages, pre-run crash), whose
append_to_transcript writer now forwards display_kind/display_metadata
to SessionDB.append_message.

Invariants preserved: role stays 'user' (alternation untouched), no new
injections, no past-context mutation, and display_kind is already popped
from every provider-bound copy in conversation_loop, so replayed sessions
never leak the marker to the API.

Regression tests: internal turn marked, real user turn unmarked, fallback
rows marked/unmarked per event, and a DB round-trip proving replay keeps
role/content intact while the provider copy drops the marker.
…e turn (NousResearch#70300)

The async-delegation watcher drained the completion queue as a batch but
then delivered each event as its own synthetic turn, flooding the session
when a fan-out of background subagents finished together. Builds on the
per-process completion batching salvaged from PR NousResearch#71898 (thanks
@yuzilongleif-collab) which coalesces concurrent _run_process_watcher
completions behind a short per-route fan-in window.

This commit adds the async-delegation half: group the drained batch by
full routing key (session_key + parent_session_id + platform/chat/thread/
user) and inject ONE consolidated turn per group. Durable-ack handling
stays honest: sibling rows are claimed up front via claim_event_delivery;
rows another consumer owns are excluded from the consolidated text (no
double-delivery); sibling claims are acknowledged only after adapter
acceptance and released (still pending) on failure. Events for different
sessions never coalesce, and a single-event group rides the existing
per-event path unchanged (latency and text identical).

Tests: 3 same-tick events -> exactly one adapter.handle_message carrying
all 3 results with all 3 durable rows delivered; 2 sessions -> 2 turns;
single-event path unchanged; failed batch releases claims and retries;
foreign-claimed sibling excluded and left pending.
The bare dimmed glyph had nothing to read against. Over a light document in
a light theme it is a pale mark on white, and every rest opacity tried
(0.35, then 0.45, then 0.75 behind a text halo) came back reported as the
button being gone.

Give the control its own substrate, which is what every shipped overlay
does: Apple's HIG puts controls on a material rather than directly on
content, Firefox picture-in-picture draws close/unpip as opaque chips, and
Discord's overlay adds a contrast layer over the game. Deriving contrast
from the backdrop is not available to us either way -- mix-blend-difference
composites against the page, and behind a transparent Electron window that
is nothing.

The chip now wears the composer bar's own tokens (fill, hairline, radius,
bottom shadow), so it inverts with the theme and with the OS appearance
under mode 'system'. It rests hidden and fades in while the bar, the band,
or the chip itself is hovered, with a hold on the way out so it survives the
reach across the gap -- reaching for the HUD is the motion that means "I
want the app". Hover rather than focus: the caret gate behind NousResearch#81893 broke
the escape hatch exactly when it was needed.
… boundary

Plain type=completion events built in _run_process_watcher carried only
session_key (chat/thread routing) with no spawning-session stamp, so after
/new (or a session switch) a completion notification from the OLD session
was injected into the chat's NEW session. Main already solved this exact
class for async delegations via the _classify_completion_target pre-flight
(_USER_BOUNDARY_END_REASONS drop on user-closed sessions, deliver on
idle-ends, follow the compression-tip chain), but the gate only ran for
type=async_delegation events.

Kernel salvage of NousResearch#16455:

- Stamp the spawning conversation's session-db id (HERMES_SESSION_ID via
  session-scoped env) on the ProcessSession and the pending_watchers entry
  at spawn time in tools/terminal_tool.py; persist it through the process
  registry checkpoint/restore so recovered watchers keep the stamp.
- Thread the stamp into the completion_evt built by _run_process_watcher
  (watcher entry first, ProcessSession fallback for recovered watchers).
- In _deliver_completion_notification, run the SAME pre-flight classifier
  for stamped type=completion events: terminal -> drop with a log (output
  stays available via process(action='log')), retry -> False so the
  watcher re-polls, deliver -> proceed. The policy has exactly one owner
  (_classify_completion_target); nothing is forked. Unstamped legacy
  events keep today's deliver-always behavior, and the async-delegation
  path is untouched.

Based on the session-boundary approach from NousResearch#16455 by @Tosko4 (original PR
was over-scoped across adapters/slash-commands/cron; this lands the kernel
only).

Tests: completion from a /new-closed session is dropped; completion after
an idle-end still delivers; unstamped legacy event delivers; retry verdict
returns retryable False without adapter injection; async_delegation gate
unchanged; stamp survives checkpoint recovery.
…rch#79401)

The command path (/model <name> --provider <p>) called
_confirm_expensive_model_switch() inline. That modal blocks its calling
thread on a response queue (see _prompt_text_input_modal); on the
prompt_toolkit main thread the TUI event loop freezes, the modal never
renders, and the switch silently cancels after the 120s timeout — the
user sees a frozen terminal and 'Model switch cancelled.' without ever
seeing the warning. The picker path already dispatched confirm+apply on
a worker thread; the command path now mirrors that contract.

Extract the inline confirm+apply block into
_confirm_and_apply_cli_model_switch() (preserving --once restore and
persist semantics) and dispatch it on a daemon thread when a TUI app is
present, keeping the synchronous path for non-interactive/test use.

Tests: new test_model_switch_confirm_thread.py pins (a) confirm runs off
the main thread when _app is present, and (b) the no-app path stays
synchronous. Existing _StubCLI helpers forward to the extracted method.
…roviders

Custom providers (custom:xxx) serve their own pricing; models.dev stores
OpenRouter prices for the same model ids. The cost guard fired on that
foreign pricing and blocked composer/CLI model switches on custom
providers with a wildly wrong warning (NousResearch#54348).

expensive_model_warning now only trusts model_info/models.dev pricing
when the provider maps to a models.dev provider and the info's
provider_id matches, and only consults the pricing-entry lookup when
the billing route is known. Salvaged from NousResearch#54422; the PR's desktop-hook
half predates the use-model-controls rewrite and is superseded by the
hook's existing rollback handling.
The custom-provider pricing-trust fix makes provider="test" (not a
models.dev provider) correctly silent — use anthropic in the fixture.
Run the expensive-model warning for explicit startup `-m` / `--provider`
overrides before the chat loop starts, and fail closed for non-interactive
invocations that select an expensive or known-confusing model.

Also classify Nous paid-model 404s that say credits are required as billing
exhaustion so they fail fast with billing guidance.

Tested:
- scripts/run_tests.sh tests/hermes_cli/test_cli_startup_model_cost_guard.py tests/hermes_cli/test_model_cost_guard.py tests/agent/test_error_classifier.py -- --tb=short -q
…over the light oneshot fast-path

Follow-ups on top of the salvaged NousResearch#70324:
- _confirm_startup_expensive_model_override evaluates the unified
  registry (combined_selection_warning) so id-keyed guards like the
  data-training-tier warning fire at startup too, not just the cost guard.
- The Termux-adjacent light oneshot fast-path (added after the PR
  branched) ran _run_and_exit_oneshot without the guard — same bug
  class, third sibling site now covered.
…ousResearch#85954)

Clicking an agent in a multi-profile roster pays the entire backend
spawn + WebSocket dial cost on first open — several seconds of
'loading' (Bot Mode report). Expose the existing pool-only primitive
(openGatewayForProfile: opens/pools the socket WITHOUT activating it,
already no-ops for the primary and shared-remote routes) as
host.warmProfile(name) so rosters can pre-dial after mount and the
first click lands on a live socket. Fire-and-forget by design;
failures stay silent — the real open path re-runs its own ensure.
…rust and gpt-5.5-pro confusion nudge (NousResearch#85970)

54cc39a (distrust foreign pricing for custom providers) tested with
openai/gpt-5.5-pro fixtures; 83d373a (salvaged NousResearch#70324) made that exact
id warn unconditionally as a known-confusion model. Each was green alone;
together the distrust tests fail on every main run (slice 6).

Use a neutral fixture id for the distrust tests and add a regression test
pinning the composed behavior: the id-keyed nudge survives custom-provider
pricing distrust.
…e/configure (NousResearch#85963)

Three widenings for capabilities UIs (Bot Mode's bot builder):

1. profiles.create share_auth (default false): skip the auth.json
   COPY so the new profile reads OAuth/token state through the
   existing global-root fallback and refreshes write through to it.
   A copy forks token state — the first refresh on either side
   invalidates the other for single-use refresh tokens; sharing keeps
   ONE live token pool for the main profile and every bot. Static
   .env keys still copy (no refresh semantics). Receipt:
   mirrored.auth = 'shared'.

2. profiles.describe reports mcp_servers
   [{name, enabled, transport}] from the profile's config.

3. profiles.configure accepts enabled_mcp_servers (replace
   semantics): toggles via the standard disabled flag; enabling a
   server the profile lacks copies its definition from the launch
   profile's catalog (names never invented). Launch catalog read
   BEFORE the home override flips config resolution.

E2E: describe keys include mcp_servers; create with share_auth ->
mirrored.auth='shared' + no auth.json in the profile dir; configure
applied.mcp_servers=true.
Salvage of NousResearch#79604 (webtecnica) + NousResearch#85721 (pierrenode), combined and
rebased onto current main with simplify-code findings folded in.

NousResearch#79604: update_session_model() wrote the model name to sessions.model
but never persisted the provider into model_config. On resume, the
runtime recombined the persisted model with the config.yaml primary
provider (which may not serve that model), producing auth errors.
Fix: add optional provider parameter to update_session_model, merged
into model_config via the shared _merge_model_config_json helper (not
hand-rolled SQL). Wire both gateway /model call sites to pass
result.target_provider.

NousResearch#85721: session_gateway_runtime() had no billing_provider fallback.
A CLI session that never ran /model has no gateway_runtime or
top-level provider in model_config — billing_provider (written on
every session's first accounted API call) is the only durable record.
Fix: add billing_provider as the last-resort fallback in
session_gateway_runtime(), filtering bare billing buckets (auto/custom)
that are not routable identities.

Simplify-code findings addressed:
- Use _merge_model_config_json instead of 40 lines of branched SQL
- Share _BARE_BILLING_PROVIDERS from hermes_state.py (was duplicated
  as a set in tui_gateway/server.py)
- Merge None-filtering from NousResearch#85920 with the billing_provider fallback
  into one coherent return path

…file test

test_slash_worker_accepts_profile_home mocks hermes_constants with
get_hermes_home=MagicMock(return_value="/tmp/hermes_test"), a str. In
production get_hermes_home() returns a Path, and hermes_state.py's
module-level DEFAULT_DB_PATH = get_hermes_home() / "state.db" does path
division. Under the str mock that becomes str / str, so importing
tui_gateway.server inside the patch raises TypeError and the test fails on
every main run (slice 4). Wrap the mock return in Path(...) so it matches the
real return type. Test-only; no production code change.

Brings the fork up to NousResearch/hermes-agent@1f8fdc7bd8 (2026-08-14).
Previous sync point was 9076ada (2026-08-04, the ea9ae66 merge).

Fork-only work on top of upstream shrank from 58 to 35 files: upstream
has since salvage-merged several of our PRs (Slack SDK-response handling
NousResearch#74658, kanban wake scope NousResearch#78391, the review-lifecycle lane NousResearch#72554 via
NousResearch#83412, the /anthropic auxiliary base_url fix), so those files are now
byte-identical to upstream and no longer carry a fork delta.

Conflict resolution — both sides were kept everywhere; no upstream
behaviour was dropped:

* hermes_cli/config_defaults.py — our `slack.strip_bot_mentions` default
  landed next to the upstream keys added in the same block.
* tests/gateway/test_slack.py — both sides appended their own test class
  at the end of the file; upstream's TestNativeTaskCardProgress and our
  TestSlackAuthoredTextDeduplication both survive.
* plugins/platforms/slack/adapter.py, gateway/run.py — our inbound-file
  trust policy, rich-text dedup, permalink rendering and per-request
  proxy client merged with upstream's native task cards / streaming.
* hermes_cli/kanban.py, kanban_db.py — our respawn-guard work merged with
  upstream's review lane, `reopen_review_task` and descendant
  invalidation.

One test needed a real fix rather than a textual merge:
tests/tools/test_kanban_tools.py::test_request_review_happy_path called
the tool without a run id. Upstream has since made the review handoff
CAS-guarded — a task running under a live claim may only be moved by the
worker that owns the run — so the test now exports the claimed run id the
way the dispatcher does for its worker, and exercises the real worker
path instead of an anonymous call.

Verified: full suite on the merge result reproduces exactly the same 17
files / 25 failures (plus 11 files that cannot import the optional `acp`
package) as a clean upstream/main checkout in the same venv, i.e. every
red is pre-existing and environment-bound, not a merge regression. The
Slack + kanban + send_message slice is fully green (511 tests).

`review_requested` and `block_loop_detected` are terminal event kinds that
hand a decision back to the origin subscriber, but neither was listed in the
gateway notifier's `_WAKE_KINDS`. A `notify+wake` subscription therefore got
the passive ping only and the origin agent never took a turn — so an agent
that delegated implementation work slept through the "ready for review"
handoff and through a task being routed to triage, while the equivalent
`blocked` event woke it.

Add both kinds to the wake set, add their status strings to the synthetic
wake message in every locale, and document which events wake.

…w-handoff

fix(kanban): wake the origin on review handoffs and triage escalations
`completed` already puts the worker's summary inside the synthetic wake
turn, so the woken creator sees what was done. `review_requested` did
not: the summary rode the passive ping only, and the wake turn said just
"handed off for review", forcing the woken reviewer to re-read the board
(and losing the PR link the worker had already written).

Reuse the same first-line handoff the `completed` branch builds, so the
existing `gateway.kanban.wake.handoff` string renders it — no new locale
keys, no change to the passive message.
