Summary

On Azure Foundry, gpt-6-astra returns HTTP 400 "Conflicting authenticated continuation identities" on the first request of every turn after the first, and the session never recovers. Fixes #105369.

What the endpoint rejects

That request replays the encrypted reasoning item of every earlier response. I replayed the persisted items of a failed session against the resource-level endpoint. Any one item alone returns 200. Any two together return 400. Restoring the stripped rs_ ids changes nothing, so #67667 does not cover this case. In-turn calls never hit it: _is_post_tool_replay already suppresses replay on Azure when the request ends on a tool result. The background review named in the issue is coincident; one failed session had no review between its turns.

Transport

On Azure Foundry, build_kwargs keeps codex_reasoning_items only on the newest assistant row that has any. include still requests reasoning.encrypted_content, compaction checkpoints stay on every row, and the canonical messages are not mutated. Other Responses endpoints are unchanged. The gate is its own predicate, provider azure-foundry or either Azure host, so narrowing _is_azure_foundry_responses in #101243 does not switch it off.

Classifier

The message now maps to invalid_encrypted_content. The existing recovery in turn_recovery strips the replay state and retries once, instead of aborting as a non-retryable client error.

Validation

I rebuilt the failing session from state.db through the transport and sent both payloads live. Unpatched: 5 reasoning items, 400. Patched: 1 item, 200. The transport, classifier and codex request suites pass, 326 tests.

Important

Verified against *.openai.azure.com/openai/v1 only. #101243 targets a different 400, invalid_payload, on the project-scoped gateway. A one-item control passes on both endpoints, so it cannot show that an endpoint tolerates multi-item replay.

Follow-up

auxiliary_client.py converts messages for Responses without this pruning. This PR does not touch it.

… rejected reasoning replay

Azure Foundry (gpt-6-astra) answers a request that replays encrypted
reasoning from more than one prior response with HTTP 400 "Conflicting
authenticated continuation identities", code invalid_value. The classifier
mapped that to a non-retryable client error, so the turn aborted and every
later turn in the session failed the same way.

Map the message to invalid_encrypted_content. The existing recovery in
turn_recovery then strips the replay state and retries once.

…ndry

The first request of every turn after the first replays the encrypted
reasoning item of every earlier response. Azure Foundry accepts one such
item and rejects two or more with HTTP 400 "Conflicting authenticated
continuation identities". In-turn requests never hit this because
_is_post_tool_replay already suppresses replay on Azure when the request
ends on a tool result.

On Azure Foundry, build_kwargs now keeps codex_reasoning_items only on the
newest assistant row that has any. include still requests
reasoning.encrypted_content, compaction checkpoints stay on every row, and
the canonical messages are not mutated. Other Responses endpoints are
unchanged.

Rebuilding a failed session from state.db through the transport and
sending it live: unpatched, 5 reasoning items, 400; patched, 1 item, 200.

Fixes NousResearch#105369
…edicate

_is_azure_foundry_responses matches the azure-foundry provider or the
project-scoped services.ai.azure.com host. NousResearch#101243 proposes narrowing it
to that host alone. The multi-item rejection this branch handles happens
on resource-level *.openai.azure.com hosts too, so the pruning gate now
uses _is_azure_responses: the provider, or either Azure host.

### [`v2026.9.11`](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/releases/tag/v2026.9.11): Hermes Agent v0.21.2 (v2026.9.11)

##### Hermes Agent v0.21.2 (v2026.9.11) — The state.db Patch Release

**Release Date:** September 11, 2026

> Patch release. v0.21.0 shipped a large rewrite of the session store's connection handling, and for some installs it made `state.db` fragile: second writers cancelling each other's locks, healthy databases reported as corrupt, one bad row killing `sessions list`. This release closes that class and rolls up everything else that landed on `main` in the four days since v0.21.1.

##### About this release

Measured at commit `04dd80a977f40b05e5b2054111747af07a61886a`, the window since v0.21.1 contains **947 non-merge commits** across **1,869 changed files** (+182,504 / −15,564) and **312 merged PRs**. **140 contributors** appear in commits, co-author trailers, or salvage credits.

##### ✨ Highlights

##### state.db reliability campaign (six PRs, 44 issues closed)

If your `state.db` broke after 0.21.0, this is the release for you. Six PRs fix the root causes rather than the symptoms:

- **No more second writers.** Profile gateways wrote hosted-room state into the *root* `state.db` every 5 seconds; the dashboard opened a writable handle on startup; cron's lifecycle guard did a raw `open()` on a live database (which cancels the gateway's POSIX locks — the classic "how to corrupt SQLite" recipe); `doctor --fix` would checkpoint under a live holder. All four are gone: hosted rooms live in `shared-state.db`, the dashboard opens read-only first, the guard goes through the tracked connection registry, and `doctor --fix` refuses a checkpoint it can't prove is safe.

- **Healthy WAL databases stop wedging.** OpenZFS `(deleted)` dentries and a `close()` racing an `append_message` both produced a sticky `DeletedWalGenerationError` on a perfectly good store; the read pool was handed out under an unconfirmed journal mode; a transient `disk I/O error` on WSL2 killed `get_session` on the first attempt; and a "state.db locked" banner was broadcast after the lock had already cleared.

- **FTS damage no longer kills your turn.** An error scoped to the full-text-search index was classified as whole-file corruption and fail-closed the conversation. It's now `fts_index`: search degrades, the index rebuilds later, the transcript store is untouched. Same PR: doctor names structural damage honestly instead of "FTS write corruption", the FTS write probe catches the stale-index shape that passed every check while every write failed, `.recover` output no longer fails startup on orphan FTS5 shadow tables, header-zeroed databases recover instead of being refused, and the dashboard analytics poller returns a 503 instead of 520K tracebacks a day.

- **One corrupt row no longer kills `sessions list`, export, or insights.** A TEXT timestamp or a `1e30` epoch used to crash the whole listing; malformed marker JSON crashed `json_extract`; more than 999 ids crashed bulk delete/prune. One `coerce_epoch()` helper on every reader (bad rows render `?` with a WARNING naming the session), a `json_valid` guard, IN-list chunking, and batched export hydration.

- **Sessions never bind to or read another profile's database.** The Desktop launch backend could pin itself to the wrong profile's `state.db` under a HERMES\_HOME override race; `session_search` by bare ID silently scanned every profile and returned someone else's transcript; recovery guidance pointed at the wrong file; profile delete kept a handle open (WinError 32).

- **Opening state.db no longer takes the write lock when nothing needs writing.** A one-shot `hermes` process opening the store behind a busy gateway stalled 4–20 s and then failed with "database is locked". Now 0.01 s. ([#&#8203;108067](NousResearch/hermes-agent#108067) — salvage [#&#8203;106751](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106751) [@&#8203;kshitijk4poor](https://github.com/kshitijk4poor), [#&#8203;101881](NousResearch/hermes-agent#101881) [@&#8203;jonpol01](https://github.com/jonpol01))

Also in the window from the same subsystem: a fresh `state.db` no longer publishes FTS tables before owning the rebuild lock ([#&#8203;106311](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106311)), a handle that lost its WAL generation no longer checkpoints stale frames at shutdown ([#&#8203;106315](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106315), [#&#8203;106840](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106840)), a clobbered first page is quarantined with its WAL instead of opened destructively ([#&#8203;106587](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106587)), WAL setup leaves an unverifiable database untouched ([#&#8203;106568](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106568)), and quarantined handles refuse VACUUM/FTS optimize ([#&#8203;106343](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106343), [#&#8203;106349](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106349)). Most of these salvaged community diagnoses by [@&#8203;kshitijk4poor](https://github.com/kshitijk4poor).

##### Multi-profile isolation hardening

A cluster of fixes for installs running several profiles under one gateway (multiplex): secondary-profile bots no longer inherit the default profile's allow-lists ([#&#8203;107616](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107616)), adapters no longer send credentials to the default profile's host ([#&#8203;107617](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107617)), stdio MCP servers no longer receive the default profile's vault secrets ([#&#8203;107630](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107630)), `MEDIA:` delivery can no longer attach another profile's `.env` / `auth.json` / `state.db` ([#&#8203;107609](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107609)), Feishu drive callbacks and `/p/<profile>/` webhook replies stay on the routed profile ([#&#8203;107620](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107620), [#&#8203;107626](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107626)), and secondary profiles no longer get a sibling's Nous bearer from per-process memos ([#&#8203;107611](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107611)).

##### Desktop backend spawn storms are over

Bot Mode used to spawn or dial one backend per profile on launch and on every roster tick, hovering the Bots roster spawned a backend per row, and profile switches could spawn a duplicate primary. ([#&#8203;108069](NousResearch/hermes-agent#108069), [#&#8203;108107](NousResearch/hermes-agent#108107), [#&#8203;108118](NousResearch/hermes-agent#108118), [#&#8203;108134](NousResearch/hermes-agent#108134), [#&#8203;107969](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107969), [#&#8203;108112](NousResearch/hermes-agent#108112) — salvage [#&#8203;102512](NousResearch/hermes-agent#102512), [#&#8203;103634](NousResearch/hermes-agent#103634), [#&#8203;103399](NousResearch/hermes-agent#103399), [#&#8203;107997](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107997) and others by [@&#8203;kshitijk4poor](https://github.com/kshitijk4poor))

##### Password-blind credential vault

The agent can now sign in, pay, and fill addresses from 1Password, Bitwarden, or the local Hermes vault without ever seeing a secret; two-factor codes come from a saved authenticator key or are asked for in the user's UI ([#&#8203;106480](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106480), [#&#8203;107585](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107585)). Private git plugins install with the user's stored credentials ([#&#8203;106981](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106981)).

##### Plugin catalog and one Plugins page

A curated, SHA-pinned plugin index with CLI, admission CI, docs and dashboard ([#&#8203;69446](NousResearch/hermes-agent#69446)); Desktop gets one Plugins page owning agent + desktop plugins, install, catalog and per-commit pinning ([#&#8203;107212](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107212), [#&#8203;107314](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107314), [#&#8203;107321](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107321)); Radio ships as an opt-in SDK plugin ([#&#8203;107072](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107072)).

##### Nous free tier and guided first launch

Free inference and connectors out of the box with one command to sign in ([#&#8203;105258](NousResearch/hermes-agent#105258), [#&#8203;105260](NousResearch/hermes-agent#105260)), `/login` from a chat ([#&#8203;105261](NousResearch/hermes-agent#105261)), connector tools (Gmail, Linear, Notion, ...) searchable through `tool_search` ([#&#8203;106842](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106842)), and a guided first launch behind `HERMES_GUEST_ONBOARDING=1` ([#&#8203;107697](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107697), [#&#8203;107958](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107958), [#&#8203;107985](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107985), [#&#8203;108211](NousResearch/hermes-agent#108211)).

##### 🐛 Notable Bug Fixes

**Gateway & platforms**

- A bare `display:` key in config.yaml no longer crashes every gateway turn ([#&#8203;106305](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106305)); a queued-lane final refused by the platform is recorded and redelivered ([#&#8203;106316](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106316)); a stalled WebSocket send no longer blocks every later event ([#&#8203;106581](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106581)); the first turn no longer waits on the Python toolchain probe ([#&#8203;106556](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106556)).
- Telegram bots must @&#8203;mention when `bots_require_mention` is on, breaking bot-to-bot loops ([#&#8203;106534](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106534)); Matrix renders LaTeX ([#&#8203;106515](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106515)); Signal renders markdown tables ([#&#8203;106538](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106538)); WhatsApp replies to view-once messages keep their quote ([#&#8203;106541](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106541)); media-only replies report SUCCESS everywhere ([#&#8203;106557](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106557)).

**Providers & routing**

- `/model` and auxiliary auto never bill a provider you didn't select ([#&#8203;107366](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107366)); never auto-switch to a provider you have no credentials for ([#&#8203;107281](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107281)); Bedrock Claude/Converse/Mantle models survive `/model`, fallback and restore ([#&#8203;107621](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107621), [#&#8203;107658](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107658)); Bedrock Guardrails enforced ([#&#8203;107815](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107815)).
- Codex: patch-budget image 400 shrinks and retries ([#&#8203;106525](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106525)); unentitled primary + fallback no longer oscillate ([#&#8203;106549](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106549)); Azure Foundry replayed-reasoning rejection classified and pruned ([#&#8203;106718](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106718) [@&#8203;erosika](https://github.com/erosika)). MCP OAuth refresh no longer erases the refresh token ([#&#8203;106185](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106185)). Anthropic clients send exactly one credential ([#&#8203;107978](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107978)).
- DeepSeek V4.1 Flash on Nous Portal and OpenRouter pickers ([#&#8203;107489](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107489)); GPT Image 2.5 via OpenAI and FAL ([#&#8203;105988](NousResearch/hermes-agent#105988)); Opus 5 / Fable 5.1 on the native Anthropic picker ([#&#8203;106636](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106636) [@&#8203;xxxigm](https://github.com/xxxigm)).

**Agent loop & compression**

- One blocked periodic callback no longer stalls lease refresh ([#&#8203;106308](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106308)); a mid-turn `/steer` is persisted as its own user row ([#&#8203;106317](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106317), [#&#8203;106344](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106344)); local-inference memory-ceiling rejections back off instead of compressing history ([#&#8203;106307](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106307)); context-overflow after partial streaming ends the turn ([#&#8203;106567](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106567)); length continuation stops when the prompt filled the window ([#&#8203;106571](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106571)); compression no longer times out silently on aux retries ([#&#8203;106866](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106866)); `model_thresholds` keys can be provider-scoped ([#&#8203;108061](NousResearch/hermes-agent#108061)).
- Surface switch (Desktop↔TUI) no longer rebuilds the system prompt and busts the prompt cache ([#&#8203;105844](NousResearch/hermes-agent#105844)); CLI keeps the `api_content` sidecar so the cache survives an early persist ([#&#8203;105842](NousResearch/hermes-agent#105842)).

**CLI, TUI & Desktop**

- `hermes -z --resume` continues the session ([#&#8203;106313](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106313)); Shift+letter and Cmd+Shift+Z work on extended-key terminals ([#&#8203;90674](NousResearch/hermes-agent#90674) [@&#8203;francip](https://github.com/francip), [#&#8203;105493](NousResearch/hermes-agent#105493)); `browser_exec` timeout kills the whole process tree ([#&#8203;106589](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106589)); update checks poll the GitHub API once a day instead of git-fetching every 30 min ([#&#8203;107648](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107648)); `hermes update` names the real cause and can't hang on a stalled fetch ([#&#8203;108053](NousResearch/hermes-agent#108053)).
- Desktop: UI language survives the update relaunch ([#&#8203;106476](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106476)), expired OAuth grants get a one-click re-sign-in ([#&#8203;106965](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106965)), HUD mode shows the transcript again and always gives the window back ([#&#8203;107491](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107491), [#&#8203;107423](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107423)), the backend exits when its Desktop parent dies ([#&#8203;107977](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107977)), Windows updates stop reporting false failures ([#&#8203;106175](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106175), [#&#8203;107183](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107183)), WSLg renders on the Windows GPU ([#&#8203;106528](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106528)), Telegram quick setup with QR ported from the dashboard ([#&#8203;107242](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107242)), and \~60 more Desktop fixes largely from [@&#8203;OutThisLife](https://github.com/OutThisLife) and [@&#8203;kshitijk4poor](https://github.com/kshitijk4poor).

- An off-tick "run now" no longer cancels the next scheduled run ([#&#8203;106306](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106306)); a killed manual run no longer blocks the next one for 5 minutes ([#&#8203;106733](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106733)); a one-shot changed to recurring keeps firing ([#&#8203;106532](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106532)); unpinned jobs run on their creation-snapshot model ([#&#8203;106499](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106499)); `--clone-all` no longer copies cron jobs ([#&#8203;106478](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106478)); `kanban promote` refuses undone parents ([#&#8203;106550](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106550)); `kanban_request_review` rejects unknown reviewer profiles ([#&#8203;106547](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106547)).

**Tools & memory**

- A stdio MCP server dying mid-call no longer replays the tool call ([#&#8203;106546](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106546)); a skills-only background review can no longer delete memory entries ([#&#8203;106310](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106310)); mem0 memory no longer drops long turns ([#&#8203;106542](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106542)); `tool_search` returns nothing rather than five tools sharing one word ([#&#8203;106676](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106676)); remote NOPASSWD sudo no longer prompts ([#&#8203;107939](NousResearch/hermes-agent#107939)); RSS and Reddit reading no longer activate by default ([#&#8203;105873](NousResearch/hermes-agent#105873)).

**Housekeeping**

- `config.yaml` backups live in one bounded `backups/config/` dir ([#&#8203;106388](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106388)); `hermes backup` keeps the newest 3 zips ([#&#8203;106455](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106455)); `hermes setup --reset` backs up the real config ([#&#8203;106453](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106453)); `debug share` retention shrunk to 1 day on the dpaste fallback ([#&#8203;106531](NousResearch/hermes-agent#106531)).

##### Updating

- Existing install: `hermes update`
- Fresh install: `curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/main/scripts/install.sh | bash`
- Managed deployments should update through their deployment tooling using the new tag.
- If your `state.db` was already damaged by 0.21.0/0.21.1: run `hermes doctor` first; it now names structural vs index damage correctly and points at `hermes sessions recover --inspect-only` (profile-pinned) when a rebuild isn't enough.

**Full Changelog:** [v2026.9.7...v2026.9.11](NousResearch/hermes-agent@v2026.9.7...v2026.9.11)
