Triggers context compression earlier — at 50% of the model's context window instead of 85%.

Updated all five locations where the default is defined:

  • agent/context_compressor.py — constructor default
  • cli.py — CLI config defaults
  • run_agent.py — env var fallback
  • hermes_cli/config.py — DEFAULT_CONFIG + status display
  • gateway/run.py — gateway hygiene check fallback

Users who have compression.threshold set in their config.yaml will keep their custom value.

The ClawHub API v1 version endpoint only returns file metadata
(path, size, sha256, contentType) without inline content or download
URLs. Our code was looking for inline content in the metadata, which
never existed, causing all ClawHub installs to fail with:
'no inline/raw file content was available'

Fix: Use the /api/v1/download endpoint (same as the official clawhub
CLI) to download skills as ZIP bundles and extract files in-memory.

Changes:
- Add _download_zip() method that downloads and extracts ZIP bundles
- Retry on 429 rate limiting with Retry-After header support
- Path sanitization and binary file filtering for security
- Keep _extract_files() as a fallback for inline/raw content
- Also fix nested file lookup (version_data.version.files)

* fix(desktop): make project "Add folder" picker remote-gateway aware

The new-project / add-folder dialog (PR #49037) picked folders via the
native Electron dialog (pickDefaultProjectDir), which only browses the
LOCAL machine. On a remote gateway that picks a path that doesn't exist
on the backend where sessions actually run.

Route pickProjectFolder() through selectDesktopPaths({directories,
multiple:false}) — the same remote-aware path the retired right-sidebar
picker used: local mode opens the native directory dialog, remote mode
browses the backend filesystem via the in-app RemoteFolderPicker. Seed
it with the backend's default cwd on remote so it opens somewhere useful.

* style(desktop): tighten pickProjectFolder comment

* feat(desktop): make the git cockpit work over a remote gateway

After the folder picker fix, an added remote folder was still half-usable:
the desktop's git GUI (coding-rail status, worktree lanes, review pane,
branch switch, file diff) all ran Electron-local git on the USER's machine,
so against a remote-gateway repo they silently degraded to empty.

Mirror the whole surface over the dashboard REST API so it acts on the
BACKEND repo where sessions actually run:

- hermes_cli/web_git.py: git/gh logic (status, worktrees, branches, review
  list/diff/stage/unstage/revert/commit/commit-context/push/ship-info/
  create-pr, file-diff, worktree add/remove, branch switch) shelling to the
  system git, mirroring the Electron ops' shapes.
- web_server.py: /api/git/* routes (same auth gate + _fs_path hardening as
  /api/fs, executor-offloaded, mutations -> 400).
- apps/desktop desktop-git.ts: remote-aware facade exposing the same shape as
  window.hermesDesktop.git; coding-status / review / projects / model /
  desktop-fs route through desktopGit() so local stays Electron, remote hits
  /api/git/*.

Tests: tests/hermes_cli/test_web_server_git.py (real repo: status counts,
review classification, diff incl. untracked all-add, stage+commit roundtrip,
worktree/branch lifecycle, commit-context, gh-absent ship-info, auth) and
desktop-git.test.ts (local vs remote routing, envelope unwrap, POST bodies).

* refactor(web_git): unify porcelain-v2 parsing into one walker

Collapse the two near-duplicate status parsers (_parse_status_v2 +
_iter_status_entries) into a single _walk_entries generator feeding the rail,
review list, and commit flow; share the staged predicate; hoist `import re`.
Behavior unchanged.

* fix(desktop): write project IDEA.md through the remote-aware fs path

writeProjectIdea used the local-only Electron writeTextFile, so on a remote
gateway IDEA.md never landed on the backend (where the project folder lives).
Route it through writeDesktopFileText (local Electron / POST /api/fs/write-text).

* fix(desktop): route composer context picking through remote-aware fs

Second pass on the remote-project flow: the project dialog and git cockpit were
remote-aware, but the composer's Add file/folder context picker still called the
native Electron picker directly. Route it through selectDesktopPaths so remote
sessions use the backend-aware picker instead of local disk paths; preserve local
multi-select behavior and keep remote folder selection single because the in-app
remote picker only supports one directory.

Also use readDesktopFileDataUrl for image previews so an already-known backend
image path can be read through /api/fs/read-data-url, and add focused coverage
for backend file-diff routing plus the plain-folder git init/worktree path.

* refactor(desktop): centralize remote git REST routing

Keep the remote git mirror as a thin facade: route all GETs through gitGet,
all mutations through gitPost, and keep consumers on desktopGit(). On the
backend, route git paths through a single _git_path helper instead of repeating
str(_fs_path(...)) in every endpoint. Behavior unchanged.

* refactor(desktop): keep remote fs routing inside the fs facade

Let UI callers ask for folders/files without knowing remote-picker limits:
selectDesktopPaths now normalizes remote directory selection to a single folder
inside the facade. Project creation and composer context picking no longer branch
on remote mode; they route through desktop-fs helpers just like git callers route
through desktopGit(). Behavior unchanged except remote folder context now works
through the same backend picker path.

* test(desktop): assert new backend sessions carry workspace cwd

Pin the desktop-to-gateway cwd handoff: createBackendSessionForSend must pass
the current workspace cwd into session.create so the backend registers the
session cwd before the agent/tools run.

* docs: reconcile docs with code across last 3 releases (#54254)

Audited the last 3 releases (v2026.5.28..main) against the docs site and
fixed code-vs-docs drift:

- slash-commands: add /moa, /prompt, /pet, /hatch, /timestamps
- cli-commands: add hermes pets / project / desktop / whatsapp-cloud +
  dashboard register; correct --insecure (now a deprecated no-op);
  add gateway migrate-legacy + enroll --wake-url + dashboard --skip-build
- environment-variables: document the remaining ~48 env vars (SimpleX,
  Photon, Teams adapter, per-platform *_ALLOW_ALL_USERS, home-channel vars,
  IRC, Brave/Krea/Notion/Linear/Airtable/Tenor keys, QQ_SANDBOX) — full
  OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS (265) now covered
- configuration: document tool_loop_guardrails, goals, prompt_caching,
  network, onboarding, dashboard config blocks
- toolsets/tools-reference + tools.md: add coding/project toolsets and
  read_terminal/project_* tools; remove the stale messaging toolset and
  send_message agent tool (removed in #47856); drop stale RL-training prose
- messaging: new IRC channel page (adapter shipped without docs) + index
  row + sidebar + env vars
- pets: document the /hatch AI generation pipeline + Nous/OpenRouter image
  backend
- web-dashboard: document the bearer-token / TokenPrincipal service auth path
- purge agent-callable send_message references across guides/features and
  the research-paper-writing skill (tool removed in #47856)

Verified: docusaurus build succeeds; all authored internal links resolve.

* fix(windows): cover remaining console-flash spawn legs (#54417)

* fix(desktop): remote project picker UX and profile-scoped fs/git routing

Route FS/git REST through the active profile, mount the remote folder picker
at app root, keep the project dialog open while picking, show a first-run
blank state, flip into grouped view on create, and constrain the picker scroll
area so Select stays reachable.

* fix(browser): extend private-network guard to browser_get_images

The SSRF cluster (7a6fe9bb, 48f5c425, 7ef04ae7) sealed
browser_snapshot, browser_vision, and _browser_eval against
eval-navigated private pages, but browser_get_images bypasses
_browser_eval and calls _run_browser_command("eval", ...) directly.
An eval-driven navigation to a private address followed by
browser_get_images would leak image src URLs and alt text from the
private page.

Add the same _eval_ssrf_guard_active + _current_page_private_url
recheck before returning image data, matching the pattern established
by the sibling guards.

5 new tests cover: block on private page, allow on public page, skip
for local backend, skip when private URLs allowed, no guard needed on
failed eval.

* fix(telegram): reject unauthorized users before event construction (#40863)

Removed/unauthorized Telegram users could inject prompt content before the
per-user auth gate fired. The adapter ran `_should_process_message`,
`_build_message_event`, and text/photo batching — and dispatched to the
runner — before `_is_user_authorized()` (gateway/authz_mixin.py) rejected
the sender. Unmentioned group chatter from a removed user was also
persisted into the session transcript via `_observe_unmentioned_group_message`,
leaking into the agent's observed context independent of dispatch.

Add `_is_user_authorized_from_message()` as an intake prefilter that runs
in `_handle_text_message`, `_handle_command`, `_handle_location_message`,
and `_handle_media_message` BEFORE batching, event construction, and the
unmentioned-group observe branch. It reuses the runner's
`_is_user_authorized()` with a correctly-shaped SessionSource (group vs
forum vs dm, real chat_id for TELEGRAM_GROUP_ALLOWED_* allowlists),
falls back to env allowlists, and only rejects when an allowlist actually
exists — unknown DMs with no allowlist still reach the pairing flow.
Channel posts authorize via `sender_chat` identity when `from_user` is
absent.

* test(web_git): assert default branch invariant, not hardcoded main

CI git init defaults to master on some runners; compare branch to
defaultBranch instead of pinning a branch name.

* fix(daytona): quote single-upload mkdir parent path (#54440)

* fix(daytona): quote single-upload mkdir parent path

The single-file _daytona_upload() path shelled out 'mkdir -p {parent}'
with the remote parent interpolated unquoted, so shell metacharacters in
the path could break the command or inject arbitrary commands into the
sandbox. The bulk-upload, bulk-download, and delete paths were already
hardened with shlex-quoting helpers; this single-upload path was missed.

Route it through the existing quoted_mkdir_command() helper and add a
regression test covering a path with shell metacharacters.

Reported by @Gutslabs (#3960); the original branch predated the
file_sync refactor, so the fix is re-applied to the current code path.

* docs(infographic): daytona quote-sync fix

* fix(windows): repair missing hermes.exe after pip install (#52931)

On Windows, uv pip install -e . can register hermes.exe in package metadata
while the launcher never lands on disk. Detect missing [project.scripts]
shims and reinstall entry points under the existing quarantine path in
hermes update and install.ps1.

* test(cli): cover Windows console script repair (#52931)

Add unit tests for missing-shim detection and repair trigger in
_verify_console_scripts_installed.

* fix(windows): verify launchers after primary install

* fix(curator): never archive cron-referenced skills + floor use=0 pruning (#54443)

The curator's inactivity prune archived any non-pinned agent-created
skill whose activity was older than archive_after_days (90d). A skill
loaded only by a cron job had its usage bumped solely when the job
fired, so paused jobs, infrequent (quarterly/annual) schedules, and
far-future one-shots aged their skills out from under them — the next
run then failed to load the now-archived skill.

- cron/jobs.py: add referenced_skill_names() returning skills used by
  ANY job (incl. paused/disabled).
- curator.apply_automatic_transitions(): skip cron-referenced skills
  like pinned; add a use=0 grace floor so a never-used skill is not
  marked stale/archived until it is at least stale_after_days old.
- LLM review pass: candidate list marks cron=yes; prompt forbids
  pruning cron-referenced skills and never-used skills under 30 days.

Tested E2E against a real cron job + real usage records and with 4 new
unit tests.

* fix(gateway): preserve sessions across restarts (#54442)

* fix(provider): auto+base_url bypasses cloud API when custom endpoint configured (#3846)

When config.yaml has `provider: auto` and a non-cloud `base_url` (e.g. Ollama
at localhost:11434), requests were silently sent to https://api.anthropic.com
whenever ANTHROPIC_API_KEY was present in the environment, ignoring the
configured local endpoint and returning HTTP 401 / "credit balance too low".

Root cause: resolve_provider("auto") scans env vars and returns "anthropic"
when ANTHROPIC_API_KEY is set, before config.model.base_url is ever consulted.

In resolve_runtime_provider(), before calling resolve_provider(), short-circuit
to the OpenAI-compatible resolver when no explicit creds were passed, provider
is "auto"/unset, and a non-cloud base_url is configured. Well-known cloud roots
(openrouter.ai, anthropic.com, openai.com) are matched on HOST (not substring)
so look-alike hosts can't evade the bypass and leak a cloud credential.

* perf(startup): lazy-load gateway platform adapters (#54448)

Bundled platform plugins (telegram, discord, feishu, teams, ...) were
eagerly imported at plugin-discovery time on every `hermes` invocation,
including plain `hermes chat` which never touches a gateway platform.
Their modules import heavy platform SDKs at module level (lark_oapi,
microsoft_teams, discord.py, slack_bolt, ...) — feishu alone pulled in
lark_oapi (~2.6s), teams pulled microsoft_teams (~1.9s).

Discovery now registers a cheap deferred loader per platform in the
platform_registry; the adapter module is imported only when the gateway
/ cron / setup / send_message path actually asks for that platform.
is_registered() and the iterate-all accessors stay correct (deferred
counts as registered; plugin_entries()/all_entries() materialize all
deferred loaders, since those paths genuinely need every adapter).

Cold start: ~4.4s -> ~2.45s to banner. discover_and_load: 2.0s -> 0.3s
(warm), and the heavy SDKs are no longer imported at all in CLI mode.
Every shipped platform remains available out of the box — it just loads
on first use.

* fix(anthropic): ignore stale non-Anthropic base_url across all resolution paths

A config left with `provider: anthropic` but a leftover
`base_url: https://openrouter.ai/api/v1` (e.g. after a provider switch)
would route Anthropic OAuth/setup-token traffic to OpenRouter and 404.

Add `_anthropic_base_url_override_ok()` and gate the three native-Anthropic
resolution branches (pool, explicit, native) on it. The guard honors a
configured `model.base_url` only when it plausibly speaks the Anthropic
Messages protocol — official `*.anthropic.com` / `*.claude.com` hosts, Azure
Foundry endpoints, and `/anthropic`-suffixed or Kimi `/coding` proxies — and
falls back to `https://api.anthropic.com` otherwise. Aggregator URLs like
openrouter.ai / api.openai.com are treated as stale.

Reconstructed from @clovericbot's PR #3661 onto current main: the original
patched one branch with an anthropic-only allow-list, which would have broken
Azure-via-anthropic; widened to all three sites and made Azure/proxy-safe.

* docs: add PR infographic for anthropic stale base_url guard

* fix(security): SSRF guard yuanbao media download_url (#54470)

yuanbao_media.download_url() fetched model-supplied (outbound) and inbound
image/file URLs server-side via httpx with follow_redirects=True and no
SSRF check. A model response containing <img src="http://169.254.169.254/...">
routed through ImageUrlHandler -> download_url and would fetch cloud-metadata
endpoints; same for inbound media.

Add an is_safe_url() pre-flight plus an async redirect event-hook that
re-validates every 30x target, matching the cache_image_from_url() guard in
gateway/platforms/base.py. The other gateway adapters already guard their
URL-fetch paths; this was the remaining unguarded one.

* perf(startup): parse config + plugin manifests with libyaml CSafeLoader (#54486)

The startup config/manifest reads used PyYAML's pure-Python SafeLoader,
which is ~8x slower than the libyaml-backed CSafeLoader C extension.
config.yaml is parsed several times during launch (cli config, raw
config, early interface/redaction bridge, logging config) and every
plugin manifest is parsed once — all on the slow path.

Add utils.fast_safe_load (CSafeLoader-preferring, pure-Python fallback,
true drop-in for safe_load) and route the hot startup parse sites
through it: hermes_cli/config.py (config + manifest reads),
hermes_cli/plugins.py (manifest parse), env_loader, cli.load_cli_config,
hermes_logging, and the two pre-config early YAML bridges in main.py.

Behavior is identical (same restricted safe tag set); only speed changes.
safe_load calls on the startup path drop from ~79 to ~0, cutting the
YAML parse cost from ~0.9s to ~0.15s under profiling.

Adds tests/test_fast_safe_load.py asserting equivalence with safe_load
across input shapes, empty-doc falsiness, C-loader preference, and that
python/object tags are still rejected (safe, not full loader).

* fix(windows): hide console flash on checkpoint git + skills_hub gh probes

The #54236/#54417 backend git/gh sweep routed git_probe, the repo-file
picker, coding_context, context_references, copilot_auth, and the gateway
process scans through CREATE_NO_WINDOW, but two sibling spawn legs that
also run inside the console-less desktop/gateway backend were missed:

- tools/checkpoint_manager.py `_run_git` (and the one-shot `git init
  --bare` in `_init_store`) — when checkpoints are enabled, every
  file-mutating turn fires multiple bare `git` calls (status, add,
  write-tree/commit-tree, update-ref). Spawned from a parent with no
  console (Electron spawns the backend with windowsHide → CREATE_NO_WINDOW),
  each one allocates its own conhost window → a flurry of terminal popups.
- tools/skills_hub.py `GitHubAuth._try_gh_cli` — `gh auth token`, the same
  bug class as the already-fixed copilot_auth gh probe.

Route both through `windows_hide_flags()` (no-op on POSIX), matching the
established per-site pattern. Tests added to
tests/test_windows_subprocess_no_window_flags.py.

* fix(windows): hide pdftoppm console flash on PDF attach

server.py's PDF-attach handler shells out to `pdftoppm` from the
console-less desktop/gateway backend; on Windows that pops a conhost
window each attach. Route it through windows_hide_flags() like the
sibling _list_repo_files git calls (no-op on POSIX).

* refactor(windows): unify windowless spawn form across the touched sites

windows_hide_flags() already returns 0 on POSIX (and creationflags=0 is
the no-op default there, exactly how server.py::_list_repo_files does it),
so drop the IS_WINDOWS import + ternary/one-use-dict gating and just pass
creationflags=windows_hide_flags() directly. Tests lose the now-pointless
IS_WINDOWS monkeypatch.

* fix(dashboard): stop ElevenLabs voice-list 401 log spam

The /api/audio/elevenlabs/voices endpoint logged a WARNING on every
failure, and the desktop re-polls it on each settings open/focus — a
bad/expired/scoped ELEVENLABS_API_KEY floods agent/gui logs with
identical "voice list failed: HTTP Error 401" lines indefinitely.

Treat 401/403 as a persistent "integration unavailable" state: return
{available: false, error: "unauthorized"} with a 200 (the dropdown
already handles available:false) instead of a 502, and collapse repeated
identical failures to a single log line via a small re-arming latch
(logs again on recovery or when the error changes). Non-auth errors keep
the 502 but are throttled the same way.

* test(gmi): stub profile fetch_models in static-fallback test

The fallback test only mocked fetch_api_models; CI still hit the real GMI
/v1/models endpoint via ProviderProfile.fetch_models and merged live
models into the result.

* fix(desktop): restore cross-wired runtime-id guard on session resume

resumeSession's warm-cache fast-path once again trusted the
storedSessionId -> runtimeId -> ClientSessionState mapping without
checking the cached state still BELONGS to the session being resumed. A
pooled profile backend that gets idle-reaped and respawned re-mints
runtime ids, so a recycled id resolves to a live-but-DIFFERENT session's
cache entry and paints the wrong transcript under the current route:
click thread A, a totally different thread (often from another worktree)
loads. The session.usage 404 guard only catches a fully-dead id; a
recycled-live id 200s, so the fast-path happily served the stale cache.

Straight regression, not a new bug. f7bf74064 ("reject cross-wired
runtime-id cache on session resume") landed takeWarmCache() + its
regression test; 62af32efe ("keep active sessions aligned with cwd"),
rebased off a stale branch, restructured resumeSession and silently
reverted both 29 minutes later -- the exact stale-branch squash clobber
AGENTS.md warns about ("Squash merges from stale branches silently
revert recent fixes").

Re-apply the whole-class fix on top of the current cwd-aligned code:
takeWarmCache() validates state.storedSessionId === storedSessionId at
BOTH cache reads (the early transcript-keep decision and the fast-path),
purging a cross-wired mapping on a miss so it falls through to a full
resume that rebinds a correct runtime id. Restore the two regression
tests guarding it.

Tests: resumeSession warm-cache mapping integrity -- a cross-wired
mapping is rejected + purged (the bug), a correctly-wired cache is still
served with no needless refetch (no perf regression).

* feat(desktop): multi-terminal panel with side tab rail

Multiple persistent in-app terminals managed by a thin VS Code-style icon
rail docked on the terminal pane's outer edge. Each tab is its own live
xterm+PTY that survives tab switches, session switches, and hiding the pane
(VS Code parity: only an explicit close or `exit` kills a shell). Terminals
own their state independent of the session — the sole thing they inherit is
an initial cwd snapshotted at creation.

- Rail: icon-only tabs (name + live hotkey on hover), +/hide controls,
  context menu. Sits at z-40 above the collapsed sidebars' hover-reveal
  triggers and marks itself data-suppress-pane-reveal, so reaching for a tab
  can't summon the file-browser/review panel.
- Lifecycle: PersistentTerminal latches mounted on first open so shells stay
  alive while hidden; ensureTerminal re-creates one on reopen.
- Agent reader: id-keyed registry drives read_terminal off the active tab.
- Keybinds (Ctrl-family, OS-aware): toggle Ctrl+`, new Ctrl+Shift+`,
  next/prev Ctrl+Shift+Down/Up, close Ctrl+Shift+W.

* fix(desktop): keep inactive terminals sized so switching doesn't garble

Hide inactive terminal tabs with `visibility` (absolute-stacked at full size)
instead of `display:none`. A display:none host is 0×0, so its ResizeObserver
fit bails and the terminal stops tracking pane resizes — re-showing it at a
changed size reflowed the buffer into a garbled prompt. Visibility-hidden
hosts keep their layout size, stay in sync, and switch instantly.

* feat(desktop): ⌘W closes the focused terminal

Fold terminal close into the existing ⌘/Ctrl+W handler so focus decides the
target: a focused terminal takes ⌘W (closes the active tab) and otherwise the
keystroke closes the active preview tab as before. Only the ⌘ gesture is
intercepted — Ctrl+W stays the shell's werase — and a focused terminal never
lets ⌘/Ctrl+W close a preview out from under it.

* refactor(desktop): generalize focus check to isFocusWithin primitive

Replace the one-off isTerminalFocused with isFocusWithin(selector) in the
keybinds lib (beside isEditableTarget) — the reusable primitive for any
focus-scoped shortcut. The terminal marks itself data-terminal and the ⌘W
handler routes via isFocusWithin('[data-terminal]'); future surfaces just add
their own marker.

* fix(desktop): force a repaint when a terminal is re-activated

A WebGL terminal doesn't paint while visibility:hidden, so switching to it
(e.g. after closing the active tab) revealed a stale/garbled frame. On
activation, clear the glyph atlas and force a full term.refresh against the
live buffer (after the refit), then focus.

* feat(desktop): mirror agent background terminals as read-only tabs

When the agent runs terminal(background=true) — Hermes's equivalent of
Cursor's is_background — surface it as a read-only "agent" tab in the rail
(distinct sparkle icon), alongside the glanceable status-stack row, which now
links to the tab. The tab is a write-only xterm (no PTY, no input) fed by the
process output tail, appended live (faster poll while a tab is open) and
env-agnostic (works for local/docker/ssh shells alike).

- terminals.ts: TerminalEntry gains kind ('user'|'agent') + procId; agent tabs
  auto-surface once (closing one doesn't resurrect it) and the status row can
  reopen/focus them. ensureTerminal now guarantees a user shell specifically.
- use-agent-terminal.ts: slim read-only xterm hook, delta-appended.
- workspace: render user vs agent instances; auto-surface from the background
  store; tail faster while an agent tab exists.
- composer-status: $backgroundOutputByProc selector; status row links to the tab
  instead of an inline disclosure.

* feat(desktop): stream agent terminal output live instead of polling

Replace the 5s output_tail poll (which often showed nothing) with a real push
stream. The process registry gains an on_output sink called from its reader
threads with each chunk; the tui_gateway wires it to emit agent.terminal.output
{process_id, chunk} (write_json is _stdout_lock-guarded, so emitting from the
reader thread is safe). The desktop routes chunks by process id straight into
the read-only agent xterm via a small writer registry, with a capped backlog so
a tab opened mid-stream (or reopened) replays what it missed.

Drops the fragile poll/tail path: no session-key matching, no truncation, no
lag — full-fidelity ANSI, env-agnostic (local/docker/ssh).

* fix(desktop): seed agent terminal tabs from process snapshots

Read-only agent terminal tabs now consume both live agent.terminal.output chunks
and the process-list/status snapshot. The snapshot seeds tabs opened after output
already exists and acts as a fallback if the live stream races startup, so agent
background tabs don't sit blank while the status stack already knows the tail.

* fix(desktop): show the agent command before terminal output arrives

Seed read-only agent terminal tabs with the background command immediately, so
they never open as a blank pane while stdout is pending or a live stream races
startup. Snapshot fallback now preserves that command header and appends only
missing output without duplicating live chunks.

* fix(docker): gate resource limit flags on cgroup controller availability (#54516)

On hosts where the cgroup v2 cpu/memory/pids controllers are not delegated
to the docker/podman process (unprivileged Proxmox LXCs, some rootless and
nested setups), --pids-limit/--cpus/--memory cause every container start to
fail with OCI runtime error / exit 126, breaking terminal + execute_code.

- Add _cgroup_limits_available(image): one-shot, host-wide cached probe that
  spawns a throwaway container from the sandbox image itself (sleep 0) with
  all three flags together, mirroring the existing _storage_opt_supported
  probe-and-degrade pattern.
- Remove --pids-limit from static _BASE_SECURITY_ARGS; apply it (default 256
  via _DEFAULT_PIDS_LIMIT) in resource_args gated on the probe.
- Gate --cpus and --memory on the same probe.

Behavior unchanged on cgroup-capable hosts; graceful degradation with a
one-time warning where controllers aren't delegated.

Fixes #6568.

* fix(terminal): require approval for host-bound Docker commands (#54483)

* fix(terminal): require approval for host-bound Docker commands

The Docker terminal backend blanket-skips dangerous-command approval on
the assumption that the container is isolated from the host. That holds
only when nothing is bind-mounted in. Once a host path is exposed (via
TERMINAL_DOCKER_MOUNT_CWD_TO_WORKSPACE or a host-path entry in
TERMINAL_DOCKER_VOLUMES), a command like `rm -rf /workspace` reaches
real host files but is still auto-approved.

Detect host bind mounts and route those sessions through the normal
approval flow. Isolated Docker keeps the fast path. The same gating is
applied to the execute_code guard, which had the identical blanket skip.

The host-bound Docker approval fix adds a has_host_access kwarg to the

raises TypeError when terminal_tool passes the new kwarg. Widen those

* fix(security): redact bare-token credentials in URL userinfo (#6396) (#54475)

git remote set-url with an embedded password (https://PASSWORD@github.com)
leaked the credential into agent output — the redaction engine only masked
user:pass@ DB connection strings, never the colon-less bare-token userinfo
form a git remote uses.

Add _URL_BARE_TOKEN_RE: scheme://TOKEN@host for web/transport schemes
(http/https/wss/git/ssh/ftp), 8+ char floor to skip short usernames, token
class forbidding /:@ so an @ in a path/query is never treated as userinfo.

Deliberately scoped to the bare-token form only. The user:pass@ colon form
and query-string tokens stay passing through (#34029, 'pass web URLs through
unchanged') so magic-link / OAuth round-trip skills keep working — a bare
credential in userinfo is never a workflow token (those live in the query
string), so masking it can't break a skill.

* fix(gateway): log error-notification failures instead of silently swallowing

The last-resort exception handler in _process_message_background() that

* fix(config): strip `export ` prefix in .env parsers across three modules

All three .env parsers use `line.partition("=")` without stripping the
bash-compatible `export ` prefix first.  A line like `export API_KEY=sk-...`
produces key `"export API_KEY"` instead of `"API_KEY"`, silently ignoring
the variable and causing auth failures for users who copy-paste from
bash profiles or follow tutorials that include `export`.

* fix(agent): guard Anthropic interrupt, cap vision data-URL size

Two independent agent-loop hardening fixes:

- anthropic: when the streaming loop breaks on _interrupt_requested,
  return None instead of calling stream.get_final_message() on the
  partially-drained stream — the SDK may hang draining remaining events
  or return a Message with incomplete tool_use blocks. The outer poll
  loop raises InterruptedError, so the return value is discarded anyway.

- vision: add a 20 MB cap on base64 data-URL payloads before
  base64.b64decode() in _materialize_data_url_for_vision. A 100MB+
  payload creates ~275MB of memory pressure; gateway users sharing the
  process can trivially OOM it. Oversized payloads return ("", None).

The third change from the original PR (streaming tool-name +=  to
assignment dedup) was already landed independently on main.

* fix(gateway): sanitize agent error messages, validate webhook gh args

Two of the three fixes from PR #6660 (the cli.py reopen_session change is
moot — that raw _conn.execute reopen block no longer exists on main).

- gateway/run.py: stop sending raw type(e).__name__ and str(e)[:300] to
  end users on chat platforms. Exception text from LLM providers can leak
  API URLs, file paths, and partial credentials. Return a generic message;
  keep curated status hints for known HTTP codes; full detail stays in logs.
- gateway/platforms/webhook.py: validate pr_number (positive int) and repo
  (owner/name regex) before passing to the 'gh pr comment' subprocess.
  Payload-controlled values could otherwise inject gh flags (--help, a
  different --repo). List-form subprocess means this is arg injection, not
  shell injection, but validation is still correct.

* fix(profiles): validate custom alias names to prevent path traversal

`hermes profile alias <profile> --name <custom>` accepted arbitrary
strings and used them verbatim as a filename under ~/.local/bin. Because
normalize_profile_name only lowercases/strips (no regex gate), a value
like `../../.bashrc` escaped the wrapper directory and clobbered
arbitrary user-writable files. remove_wrapper_script had the same sink.

Add validate_alias_name (reusing the profile-id regex, which forbids
`/`, `.`, and `..`) and wire it into check_alias_collision,
create_wrapper_script, remove_wrapper_script, and the CLI alias action so
the rejection surfaces a clear "Invalid alias name" error instead of
silently writing or unlinking outside the wrapper dir.

* feat(desktop): unify non-settings overlays under a shared Panel primitive

Extract the agents/trace overlay chrome into overlays/panel.tsx and adopt it
across the Cron, Profiles, and Agents overlays so they share one layout
(centered card, header, master/detail list with built-in search, kebab row
actions, big "+" footer, empty state) instead of three ad-hoc split layouts.

Also in this pass:
- OverlayView insets equidistantly on every side (was top/left-only, which
  left a large left gutter on narrow windows).
- Form-control chrome: input border/background/recessed-inset are now
  per-mode theme-var knobs (--dt-input-border/-bg/-inset) — resting borders
  blend in, strengthen on hover, and go solid on focus / while a Select is open.
- Thread-timeline popover reuses the shared dropdown surface (1:1 with the
  kebab menus) and scrolls the hovered prompt into view.

* chore(desktop): drop dead overlay primitives

Remove zero-consumer overlay code surfaced while auditing the primitive set:
OverlayNewButton (orphaned once "New" moved into PanelAddButton), OverlayCard /
overlayCardClass, and the unused overlay-search-input module. Leaves three
intentional layers: OverlayView (base), Panel (master/detail), and
OverlaySplitLayout (settings/command-center nav→content).

* fix(approvals): warn and default to manual on unknown approvals.mode

_normalize_approval_mode() previously accepted any string, so an unknown
value like 'auto' fell through every downstream mode check (off/smart) and
silently behaved like manual with no signal. Validate against the known
modes (manual/smart/off), emit a warning for anything else, and default to
manual to match the config default and the rest of the function.

Bug 1 from the original PR (/approve & /deny bypassing the running-agent
guard) already landed on main independently, so only the mode-validation
fix is salvaged here.

Fixes #4261

Co-authored-by: Hermes Agent <agent@nousresearch.com>

* docs: add PR infographic for approval mode validation

* style(desktop): prettier + eslint pass

Repo-wide `npm run fmt` + `eslint --fix`; also drop two unused destructured
params in titlebar-overlay-width.cjs so the lint run is clean.

* feat(desktop): live agent terminals + agent-driven tab close

Make the read-only agent terminal mirrors stream in real time and give
the agent a desktop-only way to dismiss its own tabs.

- Stream background output live: the local reader used a blocking
  read(4096) that buffered small periodic output until EOF, so agent
  tabs only "filled in" at process exit. Switch to buffer.read1(4096)
  (decoded) for incremental chunks.
- Route agent.terminal.output / terminal.close to the window that owns
  the process (its gateway session) instead of an empty session id, so
  events actually reach the desktop renderer.
- Add close_terminal: a HERMES_DESKTOP-gated tool (sibling of
  read_terminal) that drops a process's read-only tab WITHOUT killing it
  via process_registry.on_close; output keeps buffering and the user can
  reopen from the status stack.
- ⌘W now closes a focused agent tab: mark the agent instance
  data-terminal and focus it on activation so isFocusWithin routes there.
- ensureTerminal() no longer spawns an extra user shell when a tab
  already exists (e.g. opening a background task from the status stack).

* feat(dashboard): catalogue all memory-provider API keys in OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS

The dashboard Keys page and `hermes setup` render API-key rows from
OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS, but only Honcho had an entry — so Hindsight,
Supermemory, Mem0, RetainDB, ByteRover, and OpenViking read their keys
straight from os.environ yet had no place to set them in the GUI.

Add catalog entries (category=tool, password-masked, with get-key URLs
and the tool each powers) for all six, plus the relevant base-URL/endpoint
companions. Pure declaration: the generic GET /api/env endpoint, the
save/reveal write path, and the sandbox env blocklist (which auto-derives
from tool-category OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS) all pick these up with no further
wiring.

Adds a behavior-contract test asserting every memory provider's primary
credential key is catalogued, tool-categorised, and password-masked.

* fix(desktop): make agent terminal tabs fully readable

Register read-only agent terminals with the same renderer-side terminal reader
as user terminals so read_terminal works on whichever tab is active.

Also bring agent xterm rendering closer to user-terminal parity (unicode 11,
web links, font weights/spacing) and make the gateway sink wiring resilient if
only one terminal event sink was already installed.

* refactor(desktop+dashboard): extract shared WebSocket/JSON-RPC layer

The Electron desktop app and the web dashboard each carried their own
copy of the tui_gateway JSON-RPC WebSocket client plus near-identical
auth'd WS-URL construction. The dashboard's copy was the historical
source of the "is the dashboard required to run the desktop app?"
confusion, since the two surfaces looked coupled.

Consolidate the genuinely shared transport into the existing
framework-agnostic `@hermes/shared` package so both surfaces consume it
independently — neither app depends on the other:

- Move `resolveGatewayWsUrl` + `GatewayReauthRequiredError` (single-use
  OAuth ticket re-mint vs long-lived token fallback) into
  `@hermes/shared`; desktop now imports them directly.
- Add `buildHermesWebSocketUrl`, one base-path/scheme/auth-aware URL
  builder, and route every dashboard WS endpoint through it
  (`/api/ws`, `/api/events`, `/api/pty`, plugin WS URLs).
- Reduce the dashboard `GatewayClient` to a thin subclass of the shared
  `JsonRpcGatewayClient`, deleting ~210 lines of duplicated pending-call
  /event-dispatch/connect plumbing while keeping its dashboard-specific
  ticket-vs-token auth selection.
- Drop the stale "start it with --tui" chat banner, which implied the
  dashboard flag was required.

Behavior is preserved on both surfaces; the dashboard additionally
inherits the shared client's 15s connect timeout (previously
desktop-only), so a hung connect now fails fast instead of pinning the
composer in "connecting".

* fix(desktop): match agent terminal scrollback to user tabs

Keep read-only agent terminal tabs visually and behaviorally aligned with normal
terminal tabs by using the same 1,000-line scrollback cap.

* fix(shared): close websocket clients deterministically

Ensure intentional client closes mark the transport closed and reject pending
RPCs immediately instead of relying on a browser close event that can be
ignored after the socket reference is cleared.

* feat(desktop): live gateway popout + statusbar/command-center polish

- Gateway status popout: flatten the header to stacked connection + inference
  statuses with system-panel and restart actions (reusing the shared
  runGatewayRestart helper). The recent-activity tail is now live while the
  popout is open via the shared LogView (WS connection churn filtered), and the
  icon / "View all logs" link dismiss the popover.
- Statusbar "menu" items accept a menuContent(close) render fn over a now
  controlled DropdownMenu, so popover content can close itself.
- Drop the always-on gateway-log poll from useStatusSnapshot (logs are fetched
  by the popout only while open).
- SearchField → text-xs to match Input/Select (controlVariants).
- Command center: remove the usage/system section dividers, swap the sessions
  nav icon (Pin → MessageCircle), small padding tweaks.

* refactor(web): centralize dashboard websocket URL calls

Keep dashboard pages and components on the dashboard API helper instead of
calling the raw shared URL primitive directly. The shared helper remains the
single low-level implementation; web/src/lib/api.ts is the dashboard-specific
facade for auth, base path, and ticket minting.

* chore(desktop): keep the diff surgical

Revert the repo-wide prettier churn the earlier fmt pass pulled into files
unrelated to this work; run prettier/eslint scoped to the touched files only.

* style(shared): apply workspace formatter to websocket helpers

Run the package-appropriate Prettier config on the shared WebSocket files so
the extracted helpers match the surrounding desktop/shared TypeScript style.

* fix(desktop): stop injecting ctrl-l into terminal startup

Remove the prompt-gap cleanup that sent Ctrl-L into the user's shell; it could
render as literal ^L and create the exact top-line gap it was meant to hide.
Keep first-prompt cleanup renderer-side only, and parse short ESC charset
sequences so the initial newline stripper does not disarm early.

Also add a Close all action to the terminal tab context menu.

* fix(docker): include apps/shared in dashboard image build

The shared websocket package is a web file: dependency but was excluded
by .dockerignore and never copied into the Docker build context. Also fix
tsc -b errors: expose buildWsUrl on api and drop the GatewayClient state
getter that conflicted with the shared base class.

* docs: clarify desktop is self-contained, not dependent on the dashboard

The desktop app spawns a headless `hermes dashboard --no-open` backend and
talks to it through the shared @hermes/shared WebSocket client — it never
runs or requires the browser dashboard UI. Spell this out in the desktop
README, the desktop docs page, and AGENTS.md so "dashboard" stops reading
as a desktop prerequisite.

* feat(cli): add headless `hermes serve` backend; desktop no longer launches `dashboard`

The desktop app spawned `hermes dashboard --no-open` as its backend, which
made the dashboard look like a desktop prerequisite. Add a dedicated headless
`hermes serve` command that boots the same gateway (shared cmd_dashboard /
start_server) but never opens a browser, and point the desktop backend spawn
exclusively at it. dashboard and serve are now independent surfaces — neither
launches the other.

- subcommands/dashboard.py: factor shared server args; add `serve` parser
  (always headless; accepts legacy --no-open as a no-op)
- main.py: register serve in _BUILTIN_SUBCOMMANDS + coalesce set + gui-log
  detection; extend stale-backend reaper patterns to match `serve`
- desktop electron: spawn `serve`, rename dashboardArgs -> backendArgs,
  update comments + windows-child-process test assertions
- docs: desktop README, desktop.md (incl. remote-backend), AGENTS.md, and
  cli-commands.md now describe `hermes serve` as the desktop/headless backend

* fix(desktop): route old runtimes through `dashboard` when `serve` is absent

`hermes serve` is newer than the desktop binary's release cadence, so a new
app launched against an un-upgraded managed install / PATH `hermes` would
crash on an unknown subcommand and brick the user mid-upgrade. Detect whether
the resolved runtime registers `serve` (fast source read of its dashboard.py,
with a one-time CLI probe fallback) and rewrite the backend argv to the legacy
`dashboard --no-open` only when it does not. Happy path (current runtimes)
pays nothing and still spawns `serve`.

- electron/backend-command.cjs: pure serve/dashboard argv helpers + serve-
  source detection (unit-tested in backend-command.test.cjs)
- main.cjs: backendSupportsServe() cache + getBackendArgsForRuntime() guard at
  both backend spawn sites; expose `root` from the Windows venv unwrap so the
  fast source check covers Windows too
- docs: note the backward-compat fallback in README, desktop.md, AGENTS.md

* test(cli): pin the `hermes serve` decoupling contract

Add a focused contract test for the headless `serve` command (routes to the
shared dashboard handler, headless by default while `dashboard` is not, accepts
the legacy --no-open, shares the same runtime/lifecycle flag surface). Also
refresh the dashboard.py module docstring to cover both commands.

* feat(desktop): persist & restore terminal tabs + scrollback across relaunch

User terminal tabs and their recent scrollback now survive an app restart
(VS Code parity). Tabs, active selection, cwd, and a serialized scrollback
snapshot are written to localStorage on every change; on launch the tabs
reopen with their history replayed above a fresh shell. Processes are NOT
revived — a new shell starts one line below the restored block.

- Capture: SerializeAddon snapshots the buffer on a 750ms leading-edge
  throttle, so a `cmd; quit` lands on disk before teardown; the snapshot is
  trimmed of its trailing idle prompt (no "double prompt" on restore) and
  capped (200 scrollback lines / 48k chars) to stay under the storage budget.
- Teardown guard: app quit/reload kills the PTYs from the main process,
  firing onExit in the renderer, but React skips effect cleanups on teardown
  so the per-instance `disposed` flag never flips. A pagehide/beforeunload
  flag stops onExit from calling closeTerminal() and wiping the persisted
  tabs right before relaunch restores them. A real `exit`/Ctrl-D still closes.
- Agent mirror tabs stay runtime-only — only user tabs persist.

* fix(agent): limit .hermes.md parent walk to git repos only

_find_hermes_md walks parent directories looking for .hermes.md/HERMES.md,
stopping at the git root. But when there is no git repo (_find_git_root
returns None), the stop guard never fires and the loop walks all the way
to /. On shared systems (CI runners, multi-tenant servers), a .hermes.md
planted at /tmp, /home, or / would be loaded into the system prompt of any
agent session not inside a git repo — a cross-user prompt-injection vector.

Fix: when there is no git root, only check cwd; do not walk parents.

* test(agent): cover .hermes.md no-git-root cwd-only behavior

Regression tests for the injection fix: outside a git repo only cwd is
checked (planted ancestor .hermes.md is ignored), a cwd-local .hermes.md
is still found, and inside a git repo the parent walk to the git root
still works.

* chore: remove committed PR infographics and gitignore the path (#54564)

PR infographics are rendered locally and embedded in PR descriptions via
the image-provider (fal.media) URL — they were never meant to live in the
repo. The intended .gitignore enforcement (documented as added back in May
2026) was never actually committed, so 35 PNGs (~54MB) accumulated under
infographic/ via 'docs: add PR infographic for X' commits.

- Remove all 35 tracked infographic/*.png files.
- Add infographic/ to .gitignore so git add on the path is now a no-op.

The PR body remains the archive for these images.

* fix: normalize lmstudio base urls

* chore(release): add AUTHOR_MAP entry for PR #53295 salvage

* fix(matrix,mattermost): invite auth check + API path traversal guard

Two platform-security hardenings:

- Matrix: _on_invite now checks the inviter against the existing
  allow-list (_allowed_user_ids / GATEWAY_ALLOW_ALL_USERS) before
  auto-joining. Without this any federated Matrix user could invite
  the bot into arbitrary rooms, exposing its presence and metadata.
  The message and reaction paths already enforce this allow-list; the
  invite path bypassed it.

- Mattermost: _api_get / _api_post / _api_put reject any path
  containing '..'. WebSocket-event values (channel_id, post_id,
  file_id) are interpolated directly into API paths, so a malicious or
  compromised server could craft traversal payloads to make the bot
  issue authenticated requests to arbitrary endpoints with its bearer
  token.

The configurable-E2EE-passphrase change from the original PR is dropped:
the matrix adapter was rewritten onto mautrix and the passphrase-protected
key-export file no longer exists.

* test(matrix): authorize inviter in DM-invite fixture for new invite-auth gate

_on_invite now rejects auto-joins from users not on the allow-list. The
DM-recording tests invite @alice and expect a join, so the shared
_make_adapter fixture now puts @alice on _allowed_user_ids.

* fix(cron): don't report a false 'gateway not running' on external-provider instances (#54600)

`hermes cron status` (and the create/list 'gateway not running' nag)
judge whether cron will fire purely from the in-process ticker's
heartbeat file + a live gateway PID. That heuristic is correct for the
built-in ticker but WRONG for an external provider like Chronos:

Chronos arms exactly one external one-shot per job and is fired by a
NAS-mediated webhook (POST /api/cron/fire). Its `start()` returns
immediately and it deliberately runs no 60s loop and writes no ticker
heartbeat — that's the whole point of scale-to-zero (the machine is at
zero between fires). So on a perfectly healthy Chronos instance,
`cron status` always printed '✗ Gateway is not running — cron jobs will
NOT fire' (or a STALLED-ticker warning), and `cron create` always
appended the 'jobs won't fire automatically' nag — both false.

Verified live on a staging Chronos instance: jobs fired and completed on
schedule via the relay while `cron status` insisted the gateway wasn't
running and the heartbeat was 370s+ stale.

Fix: resolve the active provider (offline — `resolve_cron_scheduler`,
whose `is_available()` contract forbids network) and, for any non-builtin
provider, report the managed-scheduler state instead of the ticker
heuristics, and suppress the ticker-only 'gateway not running' warning.
The built-in path is byte-unchanged. Active-job summary is factored into
a shared helper so both paths print it identically.

New tests prove both directions (chronos: no false negative even with no
gateway PID / no heartbeat; builtin: historical warning preserved) and
fail without the fix.

* fix(skills): replace string prefix check with strict path containment

* test(cli): drop pytest dep + use real sentinel handlers in serve test

Clears the ty diff bot's warnings on the new test: pass real callables to
build_dashboard_parser (not object()) and replace the pytest.mark.parametrize
with a plain loop so the file is stdlib-only.

* docs(cron): document explicit per-channel delivery targets for all platforms (#54630)

The cron delivery table only showed Discord/Telegram with explicit
target syntax and described Slack and every other platform as
home-channel-only. In fact the generic platform:<target> routing in
_resolve_single_delivery_target resolves explicit targets for every
platform: Slack (#channel / channel ID / channel:thread_ts), Matrix
(room/user IDs), Feishu (chat:thread), WhatsApp (JID / E.164), Signal
(group / E.164), SMS, Email, and Weixin all have dedicated explicit-
target branches in _parse_target_ref; the remaining platforms accept a
generic platform:<chat_id> passthrough.

Update the Delivery Model table (en + zh-Hans) to show the real
per-platform syntax, document #channel name resolution via the channel
directory, and note the Slack thread_ts nuance. Docs-only.

* Add dashboard backup upload and download

* fix(gateway): clear session-scoped model overrides on /resume

/resume is a conversation boundary, but unlike /new it did not clear the
chat-keyed _session_model_overrides / _pending_model_notes. A /model switch
made in the previous session under the same chat session_key leaked into the
resumed conversation, running it on the wrong model.

Clear both maps for the session_key after the switch (mirroring /new), scoped
to that key so other chats' overrides are untouched. The cached-agent eviction
this leak also implied already landed via #6672.

Closes #10702.

* fix(gateway): evict cached agent on auto-reset to prevent stale context summary leak

When a session is auto-reset by daily schedule, idle timeout, or suspended
state, the agent cache was not being cleared. This caused the old agent's
context_compressor._previous_summary to leak into the new session, mixing
old conversation history into new compaction summaries.

This was the root cause of the "skin making history" appearing after
compaction in fresh sessions reported by the user.

Follow-up to #9893 which only handled compression_exhausted case.

Changes:
- Add _evict_cached_agent(session_key) call after was_auto_reset check
- Covers daily, idle, and suspended auto-reset scenarios
- Matches the behavior of manual /reset command

Related tests: test_session_boundary_hooks, test_async_memory_flush,
test_session_reset_notify, test_session_reset_fix - all passing.

* test(gateway): pin auto-reset cached-agent eviction (#10710)

Relocate marco0158's eviction into the dedicated auto-reset cleanup block

add an AST invariant pinning _evict_cached_agent into that block. Add
AUTHOR_MAP entry for marco0158.

* fix(security): cap WeCom callback body size before pre-auth XML parse (#54615)

The WeCom callback endpoint (internet-facing, 0.0.0.0) parsed untrusted
request bodies before signature verification. defusedxml already guards
the entity-expansion class on main, but there was no cap on raw body
size, so an unauthenticated POST could still force unbounded read work
pre-auth.

Set client_max_size=64KB on the aiohttp app (413 at the framework layer)
plus an explicit length guard in _handle_callback as defense in depth.
WeCom callbacks are small encrypted XML envelopes — media is delivered
out-of-band via MediaId, never inline — so 64KB is ample for legitimate
traffic. Adds tests for oversized (413) and normal-sized (not 413) bodies.

* fix(agent): stream copilot ACP chat completions

* fix(vision): detect Ollama vision models via /api/show (#54511)

When local Ollama models are absent from models.dev, probe the Ollama
server's /api/show capabilities so attached images are routed natively
instead of being stripped as non-vision input.

* test(vision): cover Ollama /api/show vision capability routing (#54511)

* feat(dashboard): list & add arbitrary custom .env keys on the Keys page

The Keys page only rendered env vars present in a catalog (OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS
or the provider catalog); any other key a user set in .env was invisible, and
there was no way to add an arbitrary env var from the GUI (e.g. to inject a
var a skill or MCP server needs).

Backend: GET /api/env now also emits a row for every on-disk .env key that
isn't in any catalog, flagged category="custom" + custom=true and
password-masked (an unrecognised key could hold anything, so it's redacted and
reveal-gated like any secret). Channel-managed credentials stay excluded. The
write (PUT /api/env) and reveal (POST /api/env/reveal) paths already handle
arbitrary keys, with the existing env-name guard + denylist (PATH, LD_PRELOAD,
PYTHONPATH, …) enforced server-side — no new write surface.

Frontend: a new "Custom Keys" section lists those custom rows and carries an
add-a-key form (client-side name validation mirroring the backend regex; the
new row reuses the normal edit/save flow, so on save it round-trips back from
the backend as a durable custom row). i18n added for en + zh + types.

Tests: behavior-contract coverage that an unknown .env key surfaces as a
masked custom row and a catalogued key does not — verified to fail on the
pre-fix backend.

* i18n: add Custom Keys strings to all locale files

The env translation block is type-checked across every locale (tsc -b), so
the 8 new customKeys strings must exist in all of them, not just en/zh. Add
translated entries to the remaining 14 locales (de, es, fr, it, ja, ko, pt,
ru, tr, uk, hu, ga, af, zh-hant).

* fix(desktop): launch Windows backend as console python so child consoles are inherited, not flashed

The recurring Windows desktop console-flash bug (#54220) is governed by the
*parent's* console, not by each child spawn. The desktop backend was launched as
GUI-subsystem pythonw.exe, which has no console at all — so every
console-subsystem child it spawns (git, gh, cmd, wmic, powershell, ...) had to
allocate its own console, flashing a window. That is why the fix had become an
endless per-call-site sweep of CREATE_NO_WINDOW flags: each leaf spawn was
papering over a missing console on the root.

Launch the backend as the venv's console python.exe instead. Under the existing
hiddenWindowsChildOptions() wrapper (windowsHide: true -> CREATE_NO_WINDOW) the
backend owns a single *windowless* console, and every descendant spawn inherits
it instead of allocating a visible one. This makes "no flashing windows" a
property of the one backend launch rather than a flag that must be remembered at
every spawn site — including spawns inside third-party libraries that no
call-site sweep can reach.

Verified on Windows 11 25H2 (Windows Terminal default): with the per-site hide
flag forcibly neutered, the canonical culprits (git/gh/cmd/wmic/powershell)
spawned naively and none flashed, while the same naive spawn from the old
console-less pythonw parent did flash — isolating the parent console as the cause.

Two premises behind the old pythonw approach did not hold up on current Windows
and are dropped here:
- The venv Scripts\python.exe uv shim, under CREATE_NO_WINDOW, re-execs base
  python *windowless* — it does not flash a conhost (the #52239 concern), so the
  base-pythonw detour is unnecessary.
- Console python restores stdout, so the backend announces its port on the normal
  HERMES_DASHBOARD_READY stdout line; the pythonw-only ready-file side channel is
  no longer needed and the readyFile opt-in is removed.

Removes the now-dead pythonw machinery (getNoConsoleVenvPython, toNoConsolePython,
applyWindowsNoConsoleSpawnHints, readVenvHome) and updates the test to assert the
new invariant: backend command is never pythonw, both backend spawns still go
through hiddenWindowsChildOptions, and no backend opts into the ready-file path.

Scope: this fixes the high-frequency backend-descendant flash classes. The
updater/UAC handoff (#54543) and embedded-terminal PTY accumulation (#53555)
classes have separate root causes and are unaffected.

* test(desktop): match multiline spawn(ps, fullArgs) via regex like sibling sites

The bootstrap-runner PowerShell spawn is formatted multiline (spawn(\n  ps,\n  fullArgs,...), so the literal substring 'spawn(ps, fullArgs' never matched and the assertion was failing on main independent of #54635. Convert it to a whitespace-tolerant regex like every other call-site assertion in this file.

* fix(memory): lazy-install supermemory + mem0 SDKs like honcho/hindsight

The supermemory and mem0 memory providers shipped third-party SDKs
(supermemory / mem0ai) that are not core dependencies, but — unlike the
honcho and hindsight providers — they imported those SDKs directly with
no tools.lazy_deps.ensure() preflight and had no LAZY_DEPS allowlist
entry. On the published Docker image the agent venv is sealed
(HERMES_DISABLE_LAZY_INSTALLS=1) and lazy installs are redirected to a
writable durable target (HERMES_LAZY_INSTALL_TARGET). honcho/hindsight
route through ensure() and install fine there; supermemory/mem0 never
called it, so their SDK was never installed on a hosted instance and the
provider silently reported itself unavailable even with the API key set.

Fixes:
- Add memory.supermemory + memory.mem0 to the LAZY_DEPS allowlist
  (tools/lazy_deps.py), pinned to current PyPI releases.
- Call ensure('memory.<x>', prompt=False) at each SDK-import chokepoint
  (_SupermemoryClient.__init__; Mem0MemoryProvider._create_backend),
  mirroring honcho's wrapped try/except shape.
- Drop the SDK-import gate from supermemory's is_available() — it was a
  chicken-and-egg trap (provider never loaded on a sealed venv, so
  ensure() never ran). Now key-presence only, like honcho/mem0.
- Add matching pyproject extras [supermemory]/[mem0]; update the
  lazy-covered-extras contract test (excluded from [all] by policy).

Tests prove each path fails without the fix and the real sealed-venv
durable-target gate accepts both features.

* chore: regenerate uv.lock for supermemory + mem0 extras

* test(windows): harden pid-scan no-window assertion against captured-call leakage (#54707)

test_gateway_pid_scan_hides_wmic_and_powershell_windows flaked once in CI
(slice 7/8) with 'KeyError: creationflags' while passing 15/15 under exact
CI-parity locally. The positional 'kwargs["creationflags"]' indexing raises
a bare KeyError the moment any stray subprocess.run call is captured, masking
the real contract. Filter captured calls to the two intended Windows console
spawns (wmic + PowerShell fallback) and assert each is windowless via
.get('creationflags'); a leaked/extra call now surfaces as a readable
len-mismatch with the full captured list, not a cryptic KeyError.

* fix(slack): subscribe to message.mpim + mpim scopes so group DMs work

Group DMs (multi-person DMs, channel_type=mpim) were never delivered to
the Slack bot. The adapter already classifies mpim as a DM and replies
ambiently (adapter.py:2526, is_dm = channel_type in {im, mpim}), but the
generated app manifest only subscribed to message.im / im:history — the
1:1 DM pair. Without the message.mpim event subscription Slack drops
group-DM messages before the adapter ever sees them, so 1:1 DMs worked
while group-DM ambient mode was dead.

Add message.mpim to bot_events and mpim:history (the scope that event
requires per Slack docs) + mpim:read (mirrors im:read for the
conversations.info classification call) to bot_scopes. Update the
SLACK_BOT_TOKEN / SLACK_APP_TOKEN setup-help strings and the Slack docs
(EN + zh-Hans: scope table, event table, troubleshooting) so existing
installs are told to add the new scopes and reinstall.

Reported by an enterprise customer. Note: this is a manifest/scope
change, so it only takes effect after the app is reinstalled and the
new scopes are accepted.

Tests: assert message.mpim + mpim:history + mpim:read are in the
manifest (with and without assistant mode); both fail on current main
and pass with this change.

* feat(slack): nudge stale installs to add mpim scopes; mark message.mpim required

Follow-up to the group-DM manifest fix. The manifest change only helps
NEW installs; existing apps keep their old (mpim-less) scopes until the
admin reinstalls. Since a missing message.mpim event delivers nothing
(no runtime API error to catch), detect stale installs at connect time
from the auth.test x-oauth-scopes header and log an actionable reinstall
nudge when im:history is granted but mpim:history is not. Also promote
message.mpim from Recommended to Required in the docs event tables so the
default setup path can't drop it.

* fix(tools): send listItemId instead of sessionKey in Camofox tab creation

The Camoufox REST API server expects `listItemId` in the `POST /tabs`
body, but `_ensure_tab` was sending `sessionKey`.  This caused a 400
Bad Request on every `browser_navigate` call.

The parameter name mismatch is visible in the same file: line 283
already reads `tab.get("listItemId")…

* fix: ClawHub skill install — use /download ZIP endpoint

The ClawHub API v1 version endpoint only returns file metadata
(path, size, sha256, contentType) without inline content or download
URLs. Our code was looking for inline content in the metadata, which
never existed, causing all ClawHub installs to fail with:
'no inline/raw file content was available'

Fix: Use the /api/v1/download endpoint (same as the official clawhub
CLI) to download skills as ZIP bundles and extract files in-memory.

Changes:
- Add _download_zip() method that downloads and extracts ZIP bundles
- Retry on 429 rate limiting with Retry-After header support
- Path sanitization and binary file filtering for security
- Keep _extract_files() as a fallback for inline/raw content
- Also fix nested file lookup (version_data.version.files)

* chore: lower default compression threshold from 85% to 50%

Triggers context compression earlier — at 50% of the model's context
window instead of 85%. Updated in all four places where the default
is defined: context_compressor.py, cli.py, run_agent.py, config.py,
and gateway/run.py.
