Summary

The CLI status bar now shows a third background-work indicator — ⛓ N for live background/async subagents — alongside the existing ▶ N (/background agent threads) and ⚙ N (shell processes from terminal(background=true)).

Background subagents (delegate_task batches and background single delegations) are long-running work with no at-a-glance visibility until now.

Changes

  • cli.py _get_status_bar_snapshot: add active_background_subagents, sourced from tools.async_delegation.active_count() (records still in the running state). Wrapped in try/except so a raising active_count() leaves the value at 0, matching the process-registry guard.
  • cli.py _build_status_bar_text + _get_status_bar_fragments: render ⛓ N after the segment in the <76 and full-width tiers. Omitted on the cramped <52 tier, same as the other two indicators.
  • Tests: 8 new cases mirroring the / suite (snapshot count, exception safety, plain-text + fragment render, and an all-three-coexist case).

Validation

Before After
2 running delegations no indicator ⛓ 2 in plain bar + fragments
1 completes drops to ⛓ 1
active_count() raises snapshot stays 0, no propagate

23/23 in tests/cli/test_cli_background_status_indicator.py pass. E2E-verified against the real tools.async_delegation records dict (not mocked): injecting two running records surfaces ⛓ 2, flipping one to completed drops it to ⛓ 1.

Infographic

cli-status-bar-three-background-indicators

The classic prompt_toolkit status bar already shows two background
indicators: ▶ N (/background agent threads) and ⚙ N (shell processes
spawned by terminal(background=true)). Background/async subagents
(delegate_task batches and background single delegations) had no
indicator despite being long-running work the user should be able to
see at a glance.

Add a third indicator ⛓ N sourced from
tools.async_delegation.active_count() — the count of delegations still
in the 'running' state. Renders in the plain-text builder and the
styled-fragment builder across the same width tiers as the other two
(omitted on the narrow <52 tier), guarded so a raising active_count()
leaves the snapshot at 0.

Parity with the classic CLI status bar's ⛓ indicator (PR #51441). The
Ink TUI status bar now shows ⛓ N for live background/async subagents
(delegate_task batches + background single delegations).

- tui_gateway/server.py: _get_usage() embeds active_subagents from
  tools.async_delegation.active_count() — the same registry the CLI
  reads — onto the existing per-update usage payload, guarded so a
  raising active_count() leaves the field off without breaking usage.
- ui-tui appChrome: new 'subagents' status segment (breakpoint w>=92,
  slots between bg and cost in the shed-order), renders ⛓ N from
  usage.active_subagents.
- Usage / SessionUsageResponse types gain active_subagents?.

Distinct from the turn-scoped SpawnHud / /agents overlay, which mirror
live in-turn subagent.* events; this is the persistent registry count.

…or flat sprites (#1)

* feat(pets): pet engine + display.pet config

Add the shared pet engine under agent/pet/: spritesheet manifest loading
and in-process caching, six-state animation model, frame rendering, and
the persistent pet store. Register the display.pet config block (pet,
scale, enabled, etc.) that every surface reads from. Covered by
tests/agent/test_pet_engine.py.

* feat(pets): CLI pet pane + /pet command

Render the reactive pet pane in the classic CLI (steady redraw,
right-aligned) and wire the /pet command to list and switch pets, plus an
enable/disable toggle. Backed by hermes_cli/pets.py and the CLI commands
mixin, registered in the central command registry. Covered by the CLI pet
pane and toggle tests.

* feat(pets): TUI pet pane, picker + gateway RPCs

Add the Ink pet sprite pane, the interactive /pet picker overlay, and live
pet switching/rescale driven by new tui_gateway RPCs (pet state, pet.scale,
per-state frames). Wires pet flash state and the picker into the TUI layout
and slash handler. Covered by the slash-handler test.

* feat(desktop): floating pet, pop-out overlay + Cmd+K picker

Add the in-window floating pet (sprite, speech bubble, contact shadow,
profile-scoped, resize-safe) and a pop-out always-on-top overlay window
with gestures and notifications. Add the Cmd+K pet picker page plus the
appearance gallery and size slider in settings. Includes the pet stores,
electron overlay wiring, i18n strings, and store tests.

* docs(pets): feature guide, petdex skill + catalog

Add the pets feature guide and the petdex skill (SKILL.md + bundled doc),
and register them in the website sidebar and skills catalog.

* fix(desktop): portal floating composer to body so it can't be clipped off-screen

The popped-out composer is position:fixed, but the chat content wrapper sets
`contain: layout paint`, which makes it a containing block for — and clips —
fixed descendants. Inline, the floating composer was positioned/clipped relative
to the chat column (which shifts with the sidebars), not the viewport, so the
viewport-based bounds clamp from #50466 couldn't keep it reachable: users still
lost it off-screen. Portal it to <body> when popped out so fixed positioning and
the clamp finally share the viewport as their reference. Docked stays inline
(it's absolute within the chat column by design).

* fix(desktop): move composer out of contain wrapper instead of portaling

Replaces the body-portal approach: render ChatBar as a sibling of the
contain:[layout paint] chat wrapper (inside the same runtime boundary) rather
than portaling the floating instance to <body>. The wrapper is a containing
block for — and clips — position:fixed descendants, which is what stranded the
popped-out composer off-screen. As a sibling it anchors to the outer relative
container: docked stays absolute (identical placement), floating resolves
against the viewport. Both states stay mounted, so dock<->float no longer
remounts the editor (the portal toggle did).

* fix(desktop): clamp floating composer to the thread area, not the whole window

Now that the popped-out composer is fixed to the viewport, clamping against the
window let it slide under a pinned sidebar. Confine it to the thread region
(data-slot="composer-bounds") instead — its rect already excludes a pinned
sidebar and the header — falling back to the full window before it's measured.
This subsumes the old titlebar top-margin (the thread rect starts below the
header).

* fix(desktop): guarantee out-of-bounds composer is reclamped on load

Re-clamp once more on the next frame after pop-out so layout (sidebar widths,
fonts) has settled, and treat a degenerate pre-layout bounds rect as "unknown"
(fall back to the window) so we never clamp the box into a collapsed area. Net:
anyone who loads in with a stranded position is pulled back on-screen and the
fix is persisted, even if the first measure was premature.

* feat(skills): add cloudflare-temporary-deploy optional skill (#50849)

* chore: re-trigger CI (workflows did not dispatch on prior head)

* feat(skills): add cloudflare-temporary-deploy optional skill

Optional web-development skill teaching the agent to deploy a Worker to a
live workers.dev URL with no Cloudflare account via 'wrangler deploy
--temporary' (Wrangler 4.102.0+). Cloudflare provisions a throwaway,
claimable account valid for 60 minutes — ideal for an autonomous
write->deploy->verify loop with no OAuth/signup hard stop.

- SKILL.md: when/when-not, prereqs (unauth requirement, version floor),
  step-by-step deploy + verify flow, product limits table, pitfalls
  (hidden flag, stale global wrangler, auth-present error, rate limits,
  workers.dev edge cache), verification.
- scripts/parse_deploy_output.py: stdlib-only parser extracting live URL,
  claim URL, account name/state, expiry, deploy status from wrangler output.
- tests/skills/test_cloudflare_temporary_deploy_skill.py: 16 tests incl.
  a real-output regression case.

Verified live end-to-end: temporary account created with no creds,
deployed to a live URL, curl confirmed body, redeploy reused the account.

* feat(goals): completion contracts for /goal — evidence-based judging (#50501)

Adds an optional structured completion contract to the standing-goal loop,
adapted from OpenAI Codex's /goal guidance (a durable objective works best
when it names what done means, how to prove it, what not to break, what's in
scope, and when to stop).

A contract has five optional fields — outcome, verification, constraints,
boundaries, stop_when. When set, the continuation prompt tells the agent to
target the verification surface and respect constraints, and the judge marks
the goal done only when the verification criterion is met with concrete
evidence (command result, file excerpt, test output) instead of a loose
"looks done" claim. This tightens the most common /goal failure mode:
premature completion / endless over-continuation on an underspecified goal.

Two ways to set a contract, both backward compatible (bare /goal <text>
behaves exactly as before):
- /goal draft <objective>  — expands plain text into a full contract via the
  goal_judge aux model (cache-safe side call), falls back to a free-form goal
  if the model is unavailable.
- /goal <text> with inline 'field: value' lines (verify:, constraints:,
  boundaries:, stop when:, ...). Plain goals with an incidental colon are not
  mangled — only known field prefixes are pulled out.
- /goal show prints the active contract.

Contracts persist in SessionDB.state_meta alongside the goal (survive /resume),
compose with /subgoal criteria, and old goal rows load unchanged. CLI + every
gateway platform via the shared GoalManager engine; zero new model tools.

Tests: +18 in tests/hermes_cli/test_goals.py (parse/serialize/judge-prompt/
draft/fallback), 73/73 green; 42/42 across the broader goal test surface;
live E2E roundtrip (set -> persist -> reload -> contract-aware prompts) green.

* fix(computer-use): route CuaDriver vision capture via get_window_state

cua-driver 0.6.x removed the standalone screenshot MCP tool, so
capture(mode='vision') hit 'Unknown tool: screenshot' and returned a
0x0 image with no PNG while som/ax (which use get_window_state) still
worked. Route vision through get_window_state(capture_mode='vision').

Salvaged from PR #50771; same fix submitted earlier as #39262 by
@Tranquil-Flow.

* feat(computer-use): add whole-screen/desktop capture target

capture(app='screen'|'desktop') now resolves to the OS shell/desktop
window (Windows Progman/WorkerW desktop or Shell_TrayWnd taskbar, macOS
Finder/Dock) so 'show me my screen' and 'click the taskbar' work.
Previously capture() only matched application windows, and the schema
advertised 'or the whole screen' without any code path delivering it.

cua-driver is window-oriented (no virtual-desktop or per-monitor MCP
tool), so a single image still cannot span multiple monitors — the
schema now states this and the no-desktop-window path returns a clear
message instead of silently grabbing the frontmost app.

* hermes_state: add SessionDB.delete_telegram_topic_binding (#31501)

Targeted ``(chat_id, thread_id)`` prune for the
``telegram_dm_topic_bindings`` table — the missing piece for
#31501, where the Telegram adapter detects a topic the user
deleted out-of-band but the binding row keeps living in
state.db.  The recovery logic in
``gateway.run._recover_telegram_topic_thread_id`` then steers
every future inbound message back to the dead topic, dropping
tool progress, approvals and replies into the wrong place.

Returns the number of rows deleted; silently no-ops when the
topic-mode tables haven't been migrated yet (read-only / pristine
profile) so the helper is safe to call from a send-fallback
hot path before the schema has run.

* gateway/telegram: prune stale DM topic binding on Thread-not-found (#31501)

Both fallback sites that currently log "Thread X not found,
retrying without message_thread_id" now also drop the
``telegram_dm_topic_bindings`` row keyed on
``(chat_id, thread_id)``:

* The streaming send loop (``send`` body) — fires on the
  second failure, after the same-thread one-shot retry confirms
  the thread really is gone (the first attempt is left alone
  because Bot API has been observed to return a transient
  "Thread not found" that recovers on immediate retry).
* The control-message helper ``_send_message_with_thread_fallback``
  (approval prompts, model picker, update prompts) — single-shot
  retry, prune unconditionally on the BadRequest match.

Without this prune, a user who deletes a Telegram DM topic in
the client keeps getting their next inbound message recovered
back to the dead thread by
``_recover_telegram_topic_thread_id`` in ``gateway/run.py``,
which walks the per-user binding list newest-first and treats
the deleted thread as authoritative.  The reproduction in the
bug report is exactly this: tool progress, approvals, activity
messages and replies all land in the wrong place until the user
manually runs DELETE on state.db.

Cleanup is best-effort — we log at INFO when it succeeds, swallow
any exception from the SessionDB call, and the user-facing send
proceeds either way.

Refs #31501

* tests: regression coverage for stale topic-binding prune (#31501)

Thirteen tests across four layers:

* ``SessionDB.delete_telegram_topic_binding`` — pin the new
  helper's contract: removes only the (chat_id, thread_id) row
  it was asked about, leaves siblings alone, returns 0 silently
  when the row never existed, and is a no-op on a pristine
  database whose topic-mode tables haven't been migrated yet.
* ``TelegramAdapter._prune_stale_dm_topic_binding`` — the glue
  must drop the binding when ``self._session_store._db``
  exposes the helper, swallow exceptions so a failed cleanup
  never breaks the user-facing send, and refuse to issue a
  DELETE for ``chat_id=None`` / ``thread_id=None`` so a
  bookkeeping miss can't accidentally null-match every row.
* Source-level guards on ``TelegramAdapter.send`` and
  ``_send_message_with_thread_fallback`` — the prune call must
  sit beside the two existing "Thread X not found, retrying
  without message_thread_id" warnings, before the retry runs,
  so a future refactor can't silently drop the cleanup wire.
* End-to-end semantic — once a topic is pruned, the
  ``GatewayRunner._recover_telegram_topic_thread_id`` walk
  steers future inbound messages to the surviving binding
  instead of the dead one.  This is the exact behaviour change
  the bug report's reproduction asks for: no more landings in
  the wrong topic until the operator hand-edits ``state.db``.

Refs #31501

* fix(telegram): disable DM topic mode when last binding is pruned

Follow-up to #31501. When the send-fallback prune removes a chat's
final telegram_dm_topic_bindings row, also flip
telegram_dm_topic_mode.enabled to 0 in the same transaction.

Without this, a user who turns topics off in the Telegram client
(rather than via /topic off) leaves enabled=1 with zero lanes:
_recover_telegram_topic_thread_id keeps treating the chat as
topic-enabled and lobby messages keep hunting for bindings that no
longer exist. Clearing the flag makes recovery fully stand down once
the dead topics are gone.

Adds 3 regression tests covering the last-binding clear, the
multi-binding no-op, and the unmatched-prune no-op.

* fix(api): allow dashboard updates for git checkouts in containers (#51005)

Salvages #50469 by @libre-7.

_dashboard_local_update_managed_externally() previously blocked every containerized dashboard from the local update API, even when the running install was a bind-mounted git checkout that can be updated with hermes update.

Allow the dashboard updater only for git installs inside containers, while keeping hosted /opt/data, docker, and pip installs managed externally. Pip remains blocked because its apply path mutates the running container filesystem and is not the self-managed checkout case.

Adds regression coverage for docker, git, and pip install-method handling inside containers, and maps the contributor email for release attribution.

* fix(model_switch): route typed configured models off openai-codex (#45006)

A typed `/model <name>` where `<name>` is declared under `providers.<slug>` or
`custom_providers` — but typed while the current provider is a soft-accepting
one (e.g. `openai-codex`) — stayed on the current provider and was swallowed as
an unknown hidden Codex model, instead of routing to the provider that actually
declares it.

Add configured-provider exact-match detection (`_configured_provider_matches`)
and a new Step d.5 in `switch_model`: if the typed model is declared in
user/custom provider config, route to that provider BEFORE
`detect_provider_for_model()` guesses from static catalogs and BEFORE the
common-path validation lets a soft-accepting current provider swallow the name.

- Matching is exact (case-insensitive) against explicitly-declared model
  collections only (`models`, `model`, `default_model`) — never fuzzy/family.
- Same-provider declarer → keep current provider (canonicalize the id).
- Multiple declarers → fail clearly and ask for `--provider <slug>`.
- Single declarer → route there; for `providers.<slug>` user providers, set
  `explicit_provider` so the credential block resolves base_url/key from config.
- Step e (`detect_provider_for_model`) is gated off when `config_routed`.

The deliberately-supported openai-codex / xai-oauth hidden-model soft-accept
(#16172 / #19729) is left untouched: when nothing in config matches, detection
is a no-op.

Salvaged from #45442 by harjothkhara (authorship preserved).

Tests: tests/hermes_cli/test_model_switch_configured_provider_routing.py
(7 tests). Full model_switch suite: 214 passed.

Fixes #45006

* fix(image/video gen): make schema delivery instruction platform-neutral (#51031)

* chore: re-trigger CI (workflows did not dispatch on prior head)

* fix(image/video gen): make schema delivery instruction platform-neutral

The image_generate and video_generate tool schema descriptions hardcoded
a gateway-only delivery instruction ('display it with markdown
![description](url-or-path) and the gateway will deliver it'). That schema
is sent on every platform, so on CLI it directly contradicted the CLI
platform hint ('Do NOT emit MEDIA:/path tags ... state its absolute path
in plain text'), and on messaging platforms it was also wrong about the
mechanism (local file paths are delivered via MEDIA: tags, not markdown
image syntax — markdown ![]() only works for URLs).

The per-platform file-delivery convention is already owned correctly by
the platform hints in prompt_builder.py. The tool schema now just
describes the result shape (URL or absolute path in the image/video field)
and defers 'how to deliver' to the active platform's guidance.

Provider/model injection already works via _build_dynamic_image_schema()
(the 'Active backend: <provider> · model: <model>' line); no change there.

* fix(computer-use): delete broken pre-install asset probe; trust the upstream installer

`hermes computer-use install` refused to install on Linux, Windows, and
macOS x86_64 because the pre-install asset probe was hitting the wrong
GitHub endpoint AND duplicating tag-resolution logic the upstream
installer already does correctly.

`_check_cua_driver_asset_for_arch()` queried
`https://api.github.com/repos/trycua/cua/releases/latest`. On trycua/cua:

- cua-driver-rs releases (the binary the installer fetches) are marked
  **prerelease** on every cut. GitHub's `/releases/latest` explicitly
  skips prereleases.
- The Python package releases (`cua-agent`, `cua-computer`, `cua-train`)
  are non-prerelease and end up as the "latest" instead.

Live API check today:

  $ curl -sf https://api.github.com/repos/trycua/cua/releases/latest \
      | jq '{tag:.tag_name, asset_count: (.assets|length)}'
  { "tag": "agent-v0.8.3", "asset_count": 0 }

The probe sees zero assets, prints "Latest CUA release has no Linux
x86_64 asset", and skips install on every Linux / Windows / macOS-x86_64
host — even though the cua-driver-rs-v0.6.0 release ships 19 binary
assets covering all those platforms.

Filtering `/releases?per_page=N` for the `cua-driver-rs-v*` prefix
fixes the bug, but it duplicates tag-resolution logic the upstream
`_install-rust.sh` already does correctly via `CUA_DRIVER_RS_BAKED_VERSION`
(auto-baked by CD on every release, with a `/releases?per_page=N` API
fallback for dev checkouts). The right answer is to trust that
contract instead of mirroring it in Python where it can drift.

Two paths get the same outcome without the probe:

1. **Fresh install**: run `install.sh` directly. It has the baked
   release tag, fetches the right asset, and errors with a clear
   message on missing-arch downloads. No preflight needed.
2. **Upgrade path**: `cua_driver_update_check()` (separately added)
   shells `cua-driver check-update --json` against the installed
   binary, which returns the canonical update answer from the same
   source the installer uses.

- `hermes_cli/tools_config.py`: delete `_check_cua_driver_asset_for_arch`
  and its two call sites in `install_cua_driver`. Replace with an
  inline comment near the top of the module explaining the rationale.
- `tests/hermes_cli/test_install_cua_driver.py`: drop the
  `TestCheckCuaDriverAssetForArch` block. Add `TestArchProbeRemoval`
  with three regressions:

  - `test_probe_function_is_gone` — asserts the deleted helpers stay
    deleted.
  - `test_fresh_install_does_not_call_github_api` — asserts the
    install path doesn't hit GitHub directly from Python anymore.
  - `test_upgrade_with_binary_does_not_call_github_api_directly` —
    same for the upgrade path.

All 9 `test_install_cua_driver` tests pass.

* fix(tests): update cua install tests for cross-platform support

f-trycua's #50855 test file predated the cross-platform PR (#50552) and
reintroduced two stale tests asserting Linux is unsupported
(test_*_non_macos_*, patching platform.system="Linux" and expecting a
no-op/warn). Linux + Windows are supported now, so install proceeds on
those platforms. Restore main's cross-platform-correct versions:
test_*_on_unsupported_platform_* using FreeBSD as the genuinely
unsupported case.

* fix(agent): complete final text on last turn

* fix(cron): deliver max-iteration fallback reports

* test(discord): add regression test for 100-command sync limit

Add a test to verify that _safe_sync_slash_commands deletes obsolete
commands before creating new ones. This ensures we never temporarily
exceed Discord's 100-command limit during sync, which would trigger
error 30032 and break all slash commands.

This test guards against the regression where sync could fail even though
the registration cap was properly enforced.

* fix(discord): delete obsolete slash commands before creating new ones

Discord enforces a hard 100-command limit per app and rejects an upsert that would push the live total over 100 (error 30032), which silently breaks ALL slash commands. The sync deleted obsolete commands AFTER creating new ones, so an app already at the cap momentarily exceeded it and the whole sync failed.

Reorder: delete no-longer-desired commands up front, then create/update. Removes the now-redundant trailing delete loop. Adapts @infinitycrew39 PR #50890 to current main (the original adapter diff no longer applied after the platform refactor); test commit cherry-picked with authorship preserved.

* fix(cron): fail closed when an unpinned job's provider drifts from creation snapshot (#44585)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* fix(security): deny root-level credential stores in media delivery

The media-delivery denylist in gateway/platforms/base.py enumerated only
.env/auth.json/credentials/config.yaml under HERMES_HOME, so other
credential stores that live at the root fell through and could be
auto-attached to chat replies. The reported case: the Google Workspace
skill's google_token.json refreshes every turn, bumping its mtime to
'now', which kept passing the strict-mode recency window and re-sent the
OAuth token on every reply.

Extend the explicit per-file denylist to mirror the canonical credential
set already enforced by the read/write guards in agent/file_safety.py:
google_token.json, google_oauth_pending.json, auth/google_oauth.json,
.anthropic_oauth.json, webhook_subscriptions.json, cache/bws_cache.json,
auth.lock, and the pairing/ token directory.

Targeted per-file additions (not a blanket ~/.hermes deny, which was
declined in #32090/#34425 because it would block skills/, logs/, and
ad-hoc agent-written deliverables). mcp-tokens/ (#37222) and
state.db/kanban.db (#41071) are left to their sibling targeted PRs.

* fix(memory): apply /memory approve against a fresh store when no live agent

The CLI /memory slash handler (cli_commands_mixin._handle_memory_command)
passed self.agent._memory_store straight through, which is None when the
command runs without a live agent — e.g. /memory approve from the Desktop
GUI. The shared write-approval handler then returns "memory store
unavailable" and applies nothing, even with built-in memory enabled and
pending writes present.

Fall back to a freshly loaded on-disk MemoryStore when no live store is
available, mirroring the gateway path (gateway/slash_commands.py). It
persists to the same MEMORY/USER.md and creates MEMORY.md on the first
approved write.

Fixes #46783

* fix(memory): honor configured char limits in the no-agent on-disk store

Follow-up to the /memory approve fresh-store fix. Both the CLI fallback and
the messaging-gateway handler built a bare MemoryStore() with the hardcoded
default char limits (2200/1375), ignoring the user's configured
memory.memory_char_limit / user_char_limit. A live agent honors those
overrides (agent/agent_init.py), so an approval applied without a live agent
could accept a write the user's lower cap would reject, or vice versa.

Extract a shared tools.memory_tool.load_on_disk_store() factory that reads
the configured limits (falling back to defaults if config can't load) and
wire both the CLI and gateway handlers to it, closing the gap on both
surfaces and de-duplicating the construction block.

* fix(gateway): redact credentials from TUI approval prompts (#48456)

Follow-up to #50767, which redacted the chat-platform (_approval_notify_sync)
and SSE/API (_approval_notify) approval transports. The TUI JSON-RPC transport
is the third egress and was missed: three register_gateway_notify callbacks in
tui_gateway/server.py emitted the raw approval_data — including the unredacted
command Tirith flagged — straight to the TUI client via _emit.

Route all three registrations through a new module-level _emit_approval_request()
helper that redacts payload['command'] via the shared
gateway.run._redact_approval_command seam before emitting, matching the pattern
used for the other two transports. Completes the whole-bug-class fix for #48456.

Tests: assert the helper emits a redacted command (real credential pattern),
handles missing/None command, and a wiring guard that no registration emits the
raw payload directly (only the helper may). Both mutation-checked.

The #48456 fix series originated from @liuhao1024's #48462 — credit to them for
the original report and chat-platform fix; this completes the remaining transport.

* fix(file_tools): resolve tilde using profile home for file operations (#48552)

File tools (read_file, write_file, patch, list_directory, etc.) used
os.path.expanduser() which reads the gateway process HOME env var.
In Docker/systemd/s6 deployments where the gateway HOME differs from
interactive sessions, tilde expanded to the wrong directory.

Add _expand_tilde() helper that delegates to get_subprocess_home() when
available, falling back to os.path.expanduser(). Replace all 9
expanduser() call sites in file_tools.py with _expand_tilde().

* fix(cron): scope job execution to its owning profile (#32091 follow-up) (#50993)

The #32091 fix moved every profile's cron jobs into one shared root store,
but never wired the execution-scoping half it recommended: a job still ran
under whichever profile's ticker picked it up, not its owning profile. So a
job created under `hermes -p donna` could execute with the root profile's
.env / config.yaml / credentials.

- jobs.py: create_job auto-captures the active profile (explicit profile=
  override available) and stores it on the job; resolve_profile_home() maps a
  profile name to its HERMES_HOME; legacy jobs backfill to 'default'.
- scheduler.py: run_job applies the job's profile via a scoped HERMES_HOME
  override (env var + in-process ContextVar) before any .env/config/script
  load, restored in finally. tick() routes profile-mismatched jobs to the
  single-worker sequential pool so the env mutation can't race.
- cronjob tool threads profile through (NOT exposed in the model schema, to
  avoid cross-profile privilege escalation); hermes cron add gains --profile.

E2E verified against a temp HERMES_HOME with a real profile dir: a root-profile
ticker runs a profile='donna' job with HERMES_HOME=donna during execution and
restores the ticker env afterward.

* feat(background-review): aux-model selector for the self-improvement review (#49252)

Adds auxiliary.background_review.{provider,model} (default auto = main chat
model — unchanged). Set it to a different, cheaper model and the post-turn
self-improvement review runs there for ~3-5x lower cost.

Cache-aware by design: the main chat is warm in the prompt cache, so the
default full-history replay on the main model is cheap cache reads — left
exactly as-is. A different model can't reuse that cache (different key), so
when (and only when) routed to a different model the fork replays a compact
digest instead of the full transcript, minimising what it cold-writes on the
aux model. Same model -> full replay; different model -> digest.

Quality holds in benchmarks: memory capture identical, skill near-identical.
Nothing changes unless you opt in by naming a different model.

* feat(computer-use): surface macOS permission preflight in the desktop

Computer Use already worked through the desktop backend (the cua-driver
toolset enables + installs via Settings -> Skills & Tools), but there was
no in-app way to see or grant the two macOS permissions it needs, so "give
a model my Mac" was tribal knowledge.

The grants attach to cua-driver's OWN TCC identity (com.trycua.driver /
the installed CuaDriver.app), not Hermes -- so no app entitlement is
involved. cua-driver 0.5+ exposes `permissions status/grant`, which we wrap:

- tools/computer_use/permissions.py: thin client over the two subcommands
- hermes computer-use permissions {status,grant}: CLI parity
- GET /api/tools/computer-use/status, POST .../permissions/grant: desktop REST
- ComputerUsePanel: live Accessibility + Screen Recording state with a
  Grant button (dialog attributed to CuaDriver), shown in the expanded
  Computer Use toolset row. Binary install stays in the existing provider
  post-setup runner.

Follow-ups: i18n the card copy; a "Stop driver" control (cua-driver stop)
for the runaway-`serve` case.

* fix(computer-use): vision capture returns an image on cua-driver >=0.5.x

Vision mode called a `screenshot` MCP tool that cua-driver dropped in
0.5.x (full-window PNG capture was folded into `get_window_state`). The
driver replied "Unknown tool: screenshot", so `images` came back empty,
`png_b64` stayed None, and capture returned a 0x0 result with no image
on every call. `som`/`ax` were unaffected because they already use
`get_window_state`, which masked the regression.

Route vision by capability:
- driver advertises `screenshot` (older builds) -> use it (no AX walk)
- otherwise -> call `get_window_state` but discard the AX tree/elements,
  returning only the PNG so vision stays free of element noise
- capabilities not yet discovered -> try `screenshot`, fall back to
  `get_window_state` on an empty image, so the path self-heals

Add `_image_from_tool_result` to pull the PNG from either an MCP image
content-part or `structuredContent.screenshot_png_b64`, and use it on
the som path too so the image won't silently drop on driver builds that
deliver it via structuredContent instead of a content part.

Verified live (vision: 1568x954, 0 elements; som: image + 527 elements)
and with unit coverage of all four routing cases.

* feat(computer-use): make the preflight cross-platform (win/linux)

The card was macOS-only. cua-driver also runs on Windows and Linux, so
fold `cua-driver doctor` (cross-platform binary/health probes) into a
single OS-aware `ready` signal:

- macOS: ready == both TCC grants; keeps the permission rows + grant flow.
- Windows/Linux: no TCC toggles, so ready == driver health, with a
  per-OS note (SmartScreen/UIAccess on Windows; X11/XWayland on Linux).

`computer_use_status()` replaces the macOS-only `permissions_status()` and
surfaces `platform`, `ready`, `can_grant`, and the doctor `checks` (non-ok
ones render as warnings). CLI `permissions status`, the REST endpoint, and
the desktop card all key off the one payload. Grant stays macOS-only (400
elsewhere — nothing to grant).

* fix(computer-use): set stdin=DEVNULL on cua-driver subprocess calls

The subprocess-stdin guard (TUI gateway fd-inheritance protection) flagged
the `permissions grant` call. None of the cua-driver probes/grant read
stdin, so DEVNULL is correct; apply it to the shared `_run` helper and the
grant call.

* fix(desktop): avoid stack overflow on embedded image replay

Replace the giant embedded-image regex with a bounded scanner so opening sessions with multi-megabyte data URLs does not crash the renderer.

* fix(agent): shrink anthropic-native image history

Retry image-size rejections by rewriting Anthropic base64 image source blocks, not just OpenAI-style image_url parts.

* feat(desktop): add timeline rail for long chat threads

Adds a compact right-edge prompt timeline for long desktop chat sessions, with hover previews, click-to-jump, active/hover row states, and pane hover-reveal suppression so the rail can live at the hard edge without opening side panels.

* test(honcho): isolate auth-method prompt from deployment-shape wizard tests

main's wizard suite scripts the cloud prompts without the OAuth auth-method step; auto-answer it in the shared helper so the answer lists stay shape-only.

* docs(honcho): document query-adaptive reasoning level (reasoningHeuristic)

README never mentioned reasoningHeuristic and listed reasoningLevelCap as an orphaned cap with the wrong default (— vs "high"). Add the query-adaptive scaling note + the reasoningHeuristic/reasoningLevelCap rows (grouped under Dialectic & Reasoning), matching the wording already on the hosted honcho.md page, and add a pointer from the memory-providers overview.

* fix(honcho): default the CLI peer prompt to the OAuth consent name

The CLI runs the grant with apply_config=False, so the peerName the user just entered at consent was dropped and the wizard's 'Your name' prompt fell back to $USER. Surface it as a transient OAuthCredential.consent_peer_name (set even when config isn't merged) and seed the prompt default from it.

* feat(honcho): split OAuth client_id by surface (cli=hermes-agent, desktop=hermes-desktop)

resolve_endpoints now picks the client_id from the initiating surface and
threads it through authorize -> token exchange -> persisted grant -> refresh,
so the CLI and desktop register as distinct OAuth clients. Surface-specific
env overrides (HONCHO_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID_CLI/_DESKTOP) win over the generic
HONCHO_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID, which still overrides every surface.

* feat(honcho): show OAuth vs API key in status; detect existing OAuth in setup

status now prints 'Auth: OAuth (clientId, token valid Xm/expired)' instead of
masking the OAuth access token as a generic API key; setup notes an existing
OAuth grant when re-run.

* docs(honcho): drop 'shared pool' wording from unified observation mode help

* fix(honcho): cross-process lock around OAuth refresh to prevent grant revocation

The in-process threading lock can't stop a sibling process (another profile or
the desktop app sharing honcho.json) from replaying the single-use refresh
token and tripping reuse-detection, which revokes the whole grant. Guard the
read-refresh-persist section with an OS file lock on <config>.lock so only one
process rotates at a time; the others re-read the freshly-persisted token.
Best-effort: platforms without flock degrade to in-process serialization.

* refactor(honcho): one OAuth client (hermes-agent) for all surfaces

Collapse the per-surface client_id split. CLI and desktop now use a single
client_id (hermes-agent); consent branding/UI still adapt via the source query
param. One grant identity means no clientId-vs-refresh-token desync that could
get the grant revoked. HONCHO_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID still overrides for self-hosting.

* fix(honcho): per-session resolves to session_id, never remapped by title

Reorder resolve_session_name so stable identifiers win over labels: gateway
per-chat key first, then the per-session session_id, then the cwd map / title.
A (possibly auto-generated) title can no longer remap a live per-session
conversation onto a second Honcho session mid-stream — fixes the desktop, which
is per-conversation via session_id. Consequence: a gateway's per-chat key now
also wins over a title (titles never remap a stable id).

* fix(desktop): stop auto-opening tool previews

Drop gateway-event preview registration so HTML artifacts from tool results
no longer pop the rail. De-dupe the inline preview card label.

* feat(desktop): detect tool previews into composer status stack

Register previewable artifacts from the tool row, feed a session-scoped store,
and render compact rows above the composer. Remove the inline preview card.

* fix(desktop): toggle preview rail and open in browser

Status row opens/closes the preview pane; external link uses a dedicated
file:// browser bridge (openExternal, not openPath).

* style(desktop): soften inline code and expanded tool chrome

Drop the inline-code border; halve the expanded tool block radius.

* feat(agent): expose coding-context project facts as structured data + project.facts RPC (#51259)

Follow-up to the coding-context posture (#43316): that PR detects each repo's
verify loop (manifests, package manager, exact test/lint/build commands, context
files) and bakes it into the system-prompt snapshot — but only as a string, for
the model. Non-prompt consumers (the desktop verify UI) had no way to read it
without re-sniffing and drifting from the prompt.

Split detection from rendering, keeping one source of truth:

- `detect_project_facts(root) -> ProjectFacts` (frozen) holds the structured
  facts; `_project_facts()` now renders it into the same snapshot lines, so the
  prompt block stays byte-identical (cache-safe).
- `project_facts_for(cwd)` resolves the workspace root (git, else marker) and
  returns the structured facts, or None outside a workspace.
- `project.facts` gateway RPC surfaces it to any client (desktop/TUI/ACP).

Tests assert the structured output and that the UI-facing commands never drift
from what the prompt block renders (one detector feeds both).

* feat(agent): one-shot LLM helper + llm.oneshot gateway RPC (#51261)

A "one-shot" is a single stateless model call that runs OUTSIDE any conversation:
it never touches session history, never breaks prompt caching, and returns plain
text. UI surfaces need this for small generative chores — a commit message from a
diff, a rename suggestion, a summary — where an agent turn would pollute the
thread and hand-rolling an LLM call at every call site would be worse.

- `agent/oneshot.py`: `run_oneshot(...)` over the existing auxiliary-client
  plumbing (same path as title generation). Two call shapes: explicit
  instructions/input, or a registered `template` + `variables` (templates own the
  prompt engineering so it stays consistent across CLI/TUI/desktop). Ships a
  `commit_message` template. Model selection inherits the live session via
  `main_runtime`, else the configured aux `task` backend.
- `tui_gateway/server.py`: `llm.oneshot` RPC (long-handler) inheriting the
  session's model when `session_id` resolves.

Stateless by construction — no session mutation, cache untouched.

* feat(relay): declare relevance policy to the connector + document the management plane (#51248)

The gateway half of Phase 6 Unit ζ: project the agent's existing relevance
knobs into the connector's platform-agnostic vocabulary and declare them at boot
over the /relay/policy route, so the SAME mention-gating / free-response /
allow-bots behavior the agent applies directly also governs relay delivery (and
excluded chatter never wakes a scaled-to-zero agent).

- gateway/relay/__init__.py:
  - relay_relevance_policy(): project require_mention -> requireAddress,
    free_response_channels -> freeResponseScopes, {PLATFORM}_ALLOW_BOTS in
    {mentions,all} -> allowOtherBots. Reads the fronted platform's config block
    + bridged top-level keys. Returns None when all-default (the connector's
    quiet default already matches) or no concrete platform is fronted.
  - send_relay_policy(): POST /relay/policy authenticated with the gateway's own
    per-gateway upgrade token (make_upgrade_token — same bearer as the WS
    upgrade), so the connector attaches it to the authenticated instance, never
    a body-asserted id. Re-declares every boot (self-healing, full replace).
    NEVER raises, NEVER blocks boot — relevance is an optimization layered on
    the δ/ε authorization gate. Reuses the per-gateway secret + the
    /relay/provision host; no new inbound surface, no new credential.
  - _policy_url(): ws(s)://…/relay -> http(s)://…/relay/policy.
- gateway/run.py: call send_relay_policy() after register_relay_adapter()
  succeeds (the secret is resolved by then).
- docs/relay-connector-contract.md: new §7 documenting per-instance delivery +
  the management plane (/manage/* + /relay/policy) + the relevance-declaration
  contract; versioning renumbered to §8. Contract conformance test stays green
  (§2/§3 tables untouched).

Tests: +12 (projection mapping incl. comma-string + top-level fallback; send
auth/skip/fail-soft/non-200). Full relay suite 118 pass. The connector route is
already E2E-proven (connector repo gateway_policy_driver.py); this adds the real
gateway send-path it pairs with.

This completes Phase 6 (Team Gateway per-user isolation) end to end.

* fix(slack): transcribe in-app voice messages (audio/mp4) instead of failing

Slack in-app voice clips ("record a clip") arrive as MP4/AAC containers
(mimetype audio/mp4, filename audio_message*.mp4), and Slack sometimes
labels them video/mp4. The inbound audio handler derived the cache
extension from the mimetype and fell back to ".ogg" for anything not in
{.ogg,.mp3,.wav,.webm,.m4a} — so audio/mp4 voice messages were cached as
.ogg. OpenAI STT (whisper-1, gpt-4o-transcribe) sniffs the container from
the FILENAME extension, so it received MP4 bytes named .ogg and rejected
them. WhatsApp .ogg and uploaded .m4a worked only because their extension
happened to match the bytes.

Fix:
- _resolve_slack_audio_ext(): pick the cache extension from the real
  filename first, then a mimetype map (audio/mp4 -> .m4a), defaulting to
  .m4a — never the bogus .ogg fallback. Mirrors the video branch and the
  audio map already in gateway/platforms/bluebubbles.py.
- _is_slack_voice_clip(): detect audio-only clips mislabeled video/mp4
  via the slack_audio subtype / audio_message* filename, and route them
  through the audio path (cached as audio, reported as audio/*) so they
  reach STT instead of video understanding. Genuine videos (and
  slack_video screen recordings) are left on the video path.

Verified end-to-end against a real audio-only MP4: old path cached it as
.ogg (ffprobe shows MP4 bytes -> container mismatch -> OpenAI rejects);
new path caches it as .mp4 (extension matches bytes -> accepted).

Adds inbound-audio tests (previously none): helper unit tests plus
_handle_slack_message E2E coverage for audio/mp4, video/mp4-mislabeled
voice clips, and a real video staying on the video path. Confirmed the
two voice-message tests fail without the fix (mutation check).

* fix(slack): report ext-matched audio mimetype for rerouted voice clips

Follow-up to the salvaged voice-clip fix: the rerouted video/mp4 branch
used {".m4a": "audio/mp4"}.get(ext, "audio/mp4"), whose sole key's value
equals the default, so it always returned "audio/mp4" regardless of the
cached extension (dead lookup + a throwaway dict per inbound voice clip).

Replace it with a module-level _SLACK_EXT_TO_AUDIO_MIME map so the reported
media_type matches the bytes we cached (e.g. a clip cached as .wav now
reports audio/wav instead of audio/mp4). STT routing already keys on the
audio/ prefix + cached filename extension, so behavior is unchanged; this
just removes the dead construct and keeps the reported mimetype coherent.

* docs(computer-use): document Windows UIPI elevated-window limitation (#51121)

A Medium-integrity Hermes agent cannot drive High-integrity (admin)
windows on Windows — UIPI blocks UIA enumeration and mouse injection
(SOM returns 0 elements, clicks silently no-op, screenshots still work,
keyboard partially bypasses). OS constraint affecting every Windows
automation stack, not a cua-driver bug. Document the symptom + the
run-elevated workaround. Closes #49067.

* ci: run only the lanes a PR affects (python/frontend/site)

Heavy PR checks run on every PR because the workflows deliberately avoid
`on.paths` filters — a path-gated workflow leaves its required check pending
forever when no matching file changes, blocking merge. So a docs-only PR
still spins up the TypeScript matrix, the full Python suite, and ruff/ty.

Keep every workflow triggering on every PR (checks always report) but gate
the expensive *steps* on what the PR touches. Skipping a step (not the job)
leaves the job green, so required checks never hang — the same idiom already
proven in contributor-check.yml.

A classifier (scripts/ci/classify_changes.py) maps the PR diff to three
lanes — python, frontend, site — surfaced as step outputs by a composite
action (.github/actions/detect-changes). Fail-open: an empty diff or any
.github/ change runs everything; python is a denylist (skipped only when
every file is provably prose or a frontend-only package); skills/**/SKILL.md
counts as python-relevant since the skill-doc tests read that tree. Non-PR
events always run the full pipeline.

* ci: build Docker on main + release only, never on PRs

The image build + smoke test + integration suite are the heaviest jobs in CI
(~9-11 min) and ran on every PR. Gate them to push-to-main and release: a
broken build surfaces on the main push, while the cheap pre-merge guards
(docker-lint hadolint/shellcheck, uv-lockfile-check) still run on PRs to
catch the common Dockerfile/lockfile breakage. Steps skip on PRs so the job
stays green; the dead PR-only arm64 cache-warm build is removed.

* ci: make dependency installs resilient to transient flakes

`npm ci` / `uv sync` / toolchain header fetches occasionally die on
transient network blips — e.g. node-pty's node-gyp fetching Node headers
(an undici assert) during the typecheck job's `npm ci`, which killed the job
before `tsc` ever ran. "Re-run and it goes green" is exactly what CI should
do itself.

- New reusable `.github/actions/retry` composite action wraps a command and
  retries on failure (3x / 10s, command passed via env so it can't inject).
  Applied to every PR-path network install: npm ci (typecheck, desktop
  build, docs site), uv sync (tests, e2e), uv tool install (lint),
  pip install (docs site).
- typecheck now runs `npm ci --ignore-scripts`: `tsc` needs only sources +
  type defs, so skipping install scripts drops node-pty's native rebuild
  (whose header fetch was the flake) and is faster. Validated locally — tsc
  passes for ui-tui, apps/shared, and apps/desktop with scripts skipped.
- ripgrep download uses `curl --retry`.

Docker (main-only) and the release/windows workflows are intentionally left
for a follow-up.

* ci: refactor paths & clones

ci: centralize path-gating behind single orchestrator + all-checks-pass
gate

Replace the scattered per-workflow detect-changes pattern with a single
ci.yml orchestrator that runs the classifier once, then conditionally
calls sub-workflows via workflow_call based on lane outputs. A final
all-checks-pass job (if: always()) aggregates all results so branch
protection only needs to require one check.

Changes:
- New .github/workflows/ci.yml orchestrator (detect + conditional calls
  + all-checks-pass gate)
- Extend classify_changes.py with scan/deps/mcp_catalog lanes, absorbing
  supply-chain-audit's internal changes job
- Update detect-changes/action.yml to expose the new lane outputs
- Convert all 10 PR-gated sub-workflows to workflow_call-only triggers,
  removing their push/pull_request triggers and per-step detect-changes
  guards (gating now happens at the orchestrator level)
- lint.yml + supply-chain-audit.yml receive event_name as a
workflow_call
  input to replace github.event_name (which is "workflow_call" inside
  called workflows)
- supply-chain-audit.yml: remove internal changes job + *-gate jobs

* fix(ci): only run supplychain checks in pr

* fix(desktop): replace native title tooltips with styled Tip component

* fix(ci): classify should default to no MCP

* fix(install): drop system-browser fallback + auto-repair stale snap override

The installer scanned PATH/well-known locations for a Chrome/Chromium binary
and, when found, skipped the bundled Playwright Chromium download and wrote that
path into ~/.hermes/.env as AGENT_BROWSER_EXECUTABLE_PATH. On Snap-based systems
`command -v chromium` resolves to /snap/bin/chromium, whose sandbox blocks
agent-browser's control socket under /tmp -- so every browser_navigate hung
until the 60s timeout fired ("opening web page failed").

Drop the system-browser fallback entirely (per maintainer direction):
find_system_browser()/Find-SystemBrowser now honor ONLY an explicit, user-set
AGENT_BROWSER_EXECUTABLE_PATH override -- no PATH scan, no well-known-path scan.
A /snap/* path is rejected even when set explicitly, since its confinement is
the bug. Applied to both install.sh (Linux/macOS) and install.ps1 (Windows).

Crucially, also auto-repair already-affected installs: the bad snap path
persists in .env and is read directly by the runtime, and the installer skips
re-config when AGENT_BROWSER_EXECUTABLE_PATH is already set ("already
configured"), so a plain reinstall/update never recovered an existing user. New
strip_snap_browser_override() removes a snap-pointing AGENT_BROWSER_EXECUTABLE_PATH
(and its auto-written comment) from .env on every install/update, run from both
browser-setup paths (install_node_deps and ensure_browser), so updating is
enough to recover. A deliberately-set non-snap override is left untouched.

docker/stage2-hook.sh is intentionally untouched: it discovers the bundled
Playwright Chromium, not a system browser.

* test(install): assert no system-browser auto-detect + snap override repair

Replace the old "skips download when a system browser exists" assertions with
tests for the new behavior:
- no PATH scan for browser command names, and the "use the system browser" path
  is gone;
- find_system_browser consults only an explicit AGENT_BROWSER_EXECUTABLE_PATH
  override (which still skips the bundled download);
- strip_snap_browser_override runs on both install paths and a /snap/* path is
  rejected, so already-affected installs auto-recover on update.

* feat(discord): render reasoning as -# subtext via display.reasoning_style (#51168)

Adds a per-platform display.reasoning_style setting (code | blockquote |
subtext) controlling how the show_reasoning summary renders on the gateway.
Discord defaults to "subtext" (-# small grey metadata text); every other
platform keeps the fenced code block. Resolves through the existing
display.platforms.<platform>.reasoning_style override chain.

* feat(cli): track background subagents in the status bar (#51441)

The classic prompt_toolkit status bar already shows two background
indicators: ▶ N (/background agent threads) and ⚙ N (shell processes
spawned by terminal(background=true)). Background/async subagents
(delegate_task batches and background single delegations) had no
indicator despite being long-running work the user should be able to
see at a glance.

Add a third indicator ⛓ N sourced from
tools.async_delegation.active_count() — the count of delegations still
in the 'running' state. Renders in the plain-text builder and the
styled-fragment builder across the same width tiers as the other two
(omitted on the narrow <52 tier), guarded so a raising active_count()
leaves the snapshot at 0.

* feat(slack): add --no-assistant flag to manifest generation

By default `hermes slack manifest` opts the app into Slack's AI Assistant
container (assistant_view feature + assistant:write scope +
assistant_thread_* events). Slack then renders DMs as the right-hand
Assistant split-pane, where every exchange is a thread and bare slash
commands (/help, /new, ...) are not delivered as normal command events —
they only work when the bot is @mentioned. There was no way to opt out
short of hand-editing the generated JSON.

Add --no-assistant to emit a flat-DM manifest that omits those three
pieces, so DMs render as a normal chat and slash commands dispatch
inline. The regular messaging surface (Messages tab, slash commands,
Socket Mode, channel + DM scopes/events) is preserved in both modes.

Default behaviour is unchanged (assistant mode still on).

Tests: cover both manifest modes and the argparse wiring.

* feat(tui): track background subagents in the status bar (#51485)

Parity with the classic CLI status bar's ⛓ indicator (PR #51441). The
Ink TUI status bar now shows ⛓ N for live background/async subagents
(delegate_task batches + background single delegations).

- tui_gateway/server.py: _get_usage() embeds active_subagents from
  tools.async_delegation.active_count() — the same registry the CLI
  reads — onto the existing per-update usage payload, guarded so a
  raising active_count() leaves the field off without breaking usage.
- ui-tui appChrome: new 'subagents' status segment (breakpoint w>=92,
  slots between bg and cost in the shed-order), renders ⛓ N from
  usage.active_subagents.
- Usage / SessionUsageResponse types gain active_subagents?.

Distinct from the turn-scoped SpawnHud / /agents overlay, which mirror
live in-turn subagent.* events; this is the persistent registry count.

* feat: add reasoning_effort support to ollama-cloud provider

Map Hermes xhigh→max to unlock DeepSeek V4's 'Max thinking' tier
through Ollama Cloud's OpenAI-compatible /v1/chat/completions endpoint.
low/medium/high pass through unchanged; disabled/none suppress
reasoning entirely.

Empirically confirmed: reasoning_effort:max produces ~2.5× more
thinking tokens than high on deepseek-v4-pro:cloud (1576 vs 642).

* chore: add s010mn to AUTHOR_MAP for PR #29221 salvage

* fix(mcp): skip killpg when child shares gateway's process group (#47134)

/reload-mcp -> shutdown_mcp_servers -> _kill_orphaned_mcp_children(include_active=True)
-> _send_signal -> killpg(pgid, SIGTERM). When a tracked MCP stdio child shares
the gateway's OWN process group, killpg delivers SIGTERM to the gateway itself,
firing its SIGTERM handler -> os._exit(0): /reload-mcp crashes the gateway.

Pre-compute the gateway's own pgid (os.getpgrp(), None on Windows/restricted)
and, in _send_signal, skip killpg when pgid == own pgid, falling through to the
per-pid os.kill path so the child is still reaped without self-signaling.

Adds a regression test (folded in) that pins the guard: with a tracked pgid
equal to the gateway's own pgid, killpg is never called for that pgid and the
per-pid kill fallback is used. Mutation-checked.

* fix(tui): preserve live session identity across compression (#49041)

When a session rotates id on compression, _sync_session_key_after_compress()
re-anchored the session_key, approval-notify routing, yolo state, and slash
worker — but never moved the active-session lease, which stayed keyed to the
pre-compression id. And _find_live_session_by_key() matched live sessions on
the stale session_key, not the live agent's current agent.session_id. After
compression a resume/create path failed to recognize the existing live agent
and could build a SECOND live agent against the same DB continuation -> forked
lineage / cross-session message mixing.

- active_sessions.transfer_active_session(): move a lease in place to the new
  id under the exclusive file lock (no slot drop).
- gateway _transfer_active_session_slot(): call it inside
  _sync_session_key_after_compress(); on the rare fallback (entry pruned)
  RESERVE the new slot before releasing the old lease (reserve-before-release),
  so a concurrent gateway at the session cap cannot grab the freed slot in a
  release-then-reacquire window and leave this session with no lease; if the
  reserve fails, keep the existing lease (review fix).
- _session_lookup_key(): make live-session lookup authoritative on
  agent.session_id, wired into all stale-session_key consumers
  (_find_live_session_by_key, _session_live_item, _live_session_payload) —
  fixes the whole lookup class.

* fix(telegram): wire platform_httpx_limits into general-pool HTTPXRequest (#31599)

PTB's HTTPXRequest builds its httpx.AsyncClient with
`limits = httpx.Limits(max_connections=connection_pool_size)` and no
keepalive tuning, so httpx's default keepalive_expiry=5.0 applies. Behind
an HTTP proxy (Cloudflare Warp etc.) a peer-initiated FIN can sit in
CLOSE_WAIT longer than that, leaking fds in the general request pool
(_request[1], which routes bot.send_message/set_my_commands) — the pool
_drain_polling_connections never resets. Telegram was the lone holdout
adapter not using the shared #18451 CLOSE_WAIT helper.

Wire gateway.platforms._http_client_limits.platform_httpx_limits() into
the httpx client across ALL THREE request-construction branches —
fallback-transport, proxy, and plain — via httpx_kwargs["limits"], which
PTB spreads last into its client kwargs so our tuned limits win. PTB's
connection_pool_size (max_connections) is preserved; only keepalive
behaviour is tightened (max_keepalive_connections + keepalive_expiry<5.0).

The fix is macOS-import-safe: no Linux-only socket TCP_KEEPIDLE/INTVL/CNT
constants at module scope (unlike the broken candidate which crashed on
import on the reporter's OS), and it patches the actual proxy path the
repro hits rather than TelegramFallbackTransport, which the proxy repro
never instantiates.

Adds a mutation-survivable behavior-contract test asserting every
HTTPXRequest built by connect() receives httpx_kwargs["limits"] with
keepalive_expiry < httpx's 5.0 default, across both the proxy and plain
branches. Reverting the limits wiring fails the test.

* fix(agent): persist tool calls before turn-end flush

* feat(skills): /learn — distill a reusable skill from anything you describe (#51506)

Open-ended skill learning across every surface. /learn <free text> takes a
description of any source — a directory, a URL, the workflow you just walked
the agent through, or pasted notes — and the live agent gathers it with the
tools it already has (read_file/search_files, web_extract, the conversation,
the pasted text), then authors a SKILL.md via skill_manage following the
house authoring standards (<=60-char description, the standard section order,
Hermes-tool framing, no invented commands).

No engine, no model-tool footprint, works on any terminal backend (local,
Docker, remote): /learn builds a standards-guided prompt and hands it to the
agent as a normal turn.

- agent/learn_prompt.py: shared standards-guided prompt builder
- /learn registry entry (both surfaces) + CLI handler (inject onto input
  queue) + gateway handler (rewrite turn, fall through, /blueprint pattern)
- tui_gateway command.dispatch returns a send directive -> TUI + dashboard chat
- dashboard Skills page 'Learn a skill' panel (dir + URL + open-ended text)
  composes a /learn request and runs it in chat
- docs (slash-commands ref + skills feature page), 11 targeted tests

Inspired by OpenAI Codex's Record & Replay and the /learn concept from #47234
(dir-distillation engine); reworked to be open-ended and engine-free per
review.

* fix(agent): handle concurrent tool submit shutdown

* fix(gateway): preserve _session_tasks on guard mismatch to enable stale lock healing (#48300)

_session_task_is_stale() failed to detect a stale session lock when the owner
task completed and cleaned _session_tasks (del in _process_message_background's
finally) but _active_sessions was NOT released because _release_session_guard
skipped on a guard mismatch (a concurrent reset/new command or drain handoff
swapped _active_sessions[key] to a different guard). With no owner task left to
inspect, _session_task_is_stale reported 'not stale', the orphaned guard was
never healed, and the session deadlocked permanently — later messages received
but never dispatched.

Reorder the finally cleanup to release-then-conditional-delete: release the
guard first, then drop the _session_tasks entry ONLY if the guard was actually
released (session_key no longer in _active_sessions). On a guard mismatch the
done-task entry survives, so the on-entry self-heal (_session_task_is_stale ->
_heal_stale_session_lock) detects the stale lock and clears it on the next
inbound message.

Extracted the cleanup into a callable _cleanup_finished_session_task() helper so
the regression test drives the REAL production code path rather than a copy of
its logic (the original test inlined the fixed logic and passed regardless of
the production order — mutation-verified the rewritten tests now fail on the
buggy del-first order). Added a positive-path test (guard matches -> release +
delete) so both branches are pinned.

* chore(release): map manusjs email to manus-use GitHub login

Required by contributor-check/check-attribution before salvaging PR #51129
(Discord thread-starter dedup, #51057). The CI step greps AUTHOR_MAP by
exact email and does not special-case noreply addresses.

* fix(gateway): prevent double dispatch of Discord messages via thread-starter dedup

When _auto_create_thread() creates a thread from a user message via
message.create_thread(), Discord fires a second MESSAGE_CREATE event
for the 'thread starter message'.  That starter message carries
message.id == thread.id and may arrive with type=default instead of
type=21 (thread_starter_message), so the existing type filter in
on_message does not catch it — triggering a second call into
_handle_message and thus a second agent run and response.

* feat(pets): pet engine + display.pet config

Add the shared pet engine under agent/pet/: spritesheet manifest loading
and in-process caching, six-state animation model, frame rendering, and
the persistent pet store. Register the display.pet config block (pet,
scale, enabled, etc.) that every surface reads from. Covered by
tests/agent/test_pet_engine.py.

* feat(pets): CLI pet pane + /pet command

Render the reactive pet pane in the classic CLI (steady redraw,
right-aligned) and wire the /pet command to list and switch pets, plus an
enable/disable toggle. Backed by hermes_cli/pets.py and the CLI commands
mixin, registered in the central command registry. Covered by the CLI pet
pane and toggle tests.

* feat(pets): TUI pet pane, picker + gateway RPCs

Add the Ink pet sprite pane, the interactive /pet picker overlay, and live
pet switching/rescale driven by new tui_gateway RPCs (pet state, pet.scale,
per-state frames). Wires pet flash state and the picker into the TUI layout
and slash handler. Covered by the slash-handler test.

* feat(desktop): floating pet, pop-out overlay + Cmd+K picker

Add the in-window floating pet (sprite, speech bubble, contact shadow,
profile-scoped, resize-safe) and a pop-out always-on-top overlay window
with gestures and notifications. Add the Cmd+K pet picker page plus the
appearance gallery and size slider in settings. Includes the pet stores,
electron overlay wiring, i18n strings, and store tests.

* docs(pets): feature guide, petdex skill + catalog

Add the pets feature guide and the petdex skill (SKILL.md + bundled doc),
and register them in the website sidebar and skills catalog.

* fix(desktop): portal floating composer to body so it can't be clipped off-screen

The popped-out composer is position:fixed, but the chat content wrapper sets
`contain: layout paint`, which makes it a containing block for — and clips —
fixed descendants. Inline, the floating composer was positioned/clipped relative
to the chat column (which shifts with the sidebars), not the viewport, so the
viewport-based bounds clamp from #50466 couldn't keep it reachable: users still
lost it off-screen. Portal it to <body> when popped out so fixed positioning and
the clamp finally share the viewport as their reference. Docked stays inline
(it's absolute within the chat column by design).

* fix(desktop): move composer out of contain wrapper instead of portaling

Replaces the body-portal approach: render ChatBar as a sibling of the
contain:[layout paint] chat wrapper (inside the same runtime boundary) rather
than portaling the floating instance to <body>. The wrapper is a containing
block for — and clips — position:fixed descendants, which is what stranded the
popped-out composer off-screen. As a sibling it anchors to the outer relative
container: docked stays absolute (identical placement), floating resolves
against the viewport. Both states stay mounted, so dock<->float no longer
remounts the editor (the portal toggle did).

* fix(desktop): clamp floating composer to the thread area, not the whole window

Now that the popped-out composer is fixed to the viewport, clamping against the
window let it slide under a pinned sidebar. Confine it to the thread region
(data-slot="composer-bounds") instead — its rect already excludes a pinned
sidebar and the header — falling back to the full window before it's measured.
This subsumes the old titlebar top-margin (the thread rect starts below the
header).

* fix(desktop): guarantee out-of-bounds composer is reclamped on load

Re-clamp once more on the next frame after pop-out so layout (sidebar widths,
fonts) has settled, and treat a degenerate pre-layout bounds rect as "unknown"
(fall back to the window) so we never clamp the box into a collapsed area. Net:
anyone who loads in with a stranded position is pulled back on-screen and the
fix is persisted, even if the first measure was premature.

* feat(skills): add cloudflare-temporary-deploy optional skill (#50849)

* chore: re-trigger CI (workflows did not dispatch on prior head)

* feat(skills): add cloudflare-temporary-deploy optional skill

Optional web-development skill teaching the agent to deploy a Worker to a
live workers.dev URL with no Cloudflare account via 'wrangler deploy
--temporary' (Wrangler 4.102.0+). Cloudflare provisions a throwaway,
claimable account valid for 60 minutes — ideal for an autonomous
write->deploy->verify loop with no OAuth/signup hard stop.

- SKILL.md: when/when-not, prereqs (unauth requirement, version floor),
  step-by-step deploy + verify flow, product limits table, pitfalls
  (hidden flag, stale global wrangler, auth-present error, rate limits,
  workers.dev edge cache), verification.
- scripts/parse_deploy_output.py: stdlib-only parser extracting live URL,
  claim URL, account name/state, expiry, deploy status from wrangler output.
- tests/skills/test_cloudflare_temporary_deploy_skill.py: 16 tests incl.
  a real-output regression case.

Verified live end-to-end: temporary account created with no creds,
deployed to a live URL, curl confirmed body, redeploy reused the account.

* feat(goals): completion contracts for /goal — evidence-based judging (#50501)

Adds an optional structured completion contract to the standing-goal loop,
adapted from OpenAI Codex's /goal guidance (a durable objective works best
when it names what done means, how to prove it, what not to break, what's in
scope, and when to stop).

A contract has five optional fields — outcome, verification, constraints,
boundaries, stop_when. When set, the continuation prompt tells the agent to
target the verification surface and respect constraints, and the judge marks
the goal done only when the verification criterion is met with concrete
evidence (command result, file excerpt, test output) instead of a loose
"looks done" claim. This tightens the most common /goal failure mode:
premature completion / endless over-continuation on an underspecified goal.

Two ways to set a contract, both backward compatible (bare /goal <text>
behaves exactly as before):
- /goal draft <objective>  — expands plain text into a full contract via the
  goal_judge aux model (cache-safe side call), falls back to a free-form goal
  if the model is unavailable.
- /goal <text> with inline 'field: value' lines (verify:, constraints:,
  boundaries:, stop when:, ...). Plain goals with an incidental colon are not
  mangled — only known field prefixes are pulled out.
- /goal show prints the active contract.

Contracts persist in SessionDB.state_meta alongside the goal (survive /resume),
compose with /subgoal criteria, and old goal rows load unchanged. CLI + every
gateway platform via the shared GoalManager engine; zero new model tools.

Tests: +18 in tests/hermes_cli/test_goals.py (parse/serialize/judge-prompt/
draft/fallback), 73/73 green; 42/42 across the broader goal test surface;
live E2E roundtrip (set -> persist -> reload -> contract-aware prompts) green.

* fix(computer-use): route CuaDriver vision capture via get_window_state

cua-driver 0.6.x removed the standalone screenshot MCP tool, so
capture(mode='vision') hit 'Unknown tool: screenshot' and returned a
0x0 image with no PNG while som/ax (which use get_window_state) still
worked. Route vision through get_window_state(capture_mode='vision').

Salvaged from PR #50771; same fix submitted earlier as #39262 by
@Tranquil-Flow.

* feat(computer-use): add whole-screen/desktop capture target

capture(app='screen'|'desktop') now resolves to the OS shell/desktop
window (Windows Progman/WorkerW desktop or Shell_TrayWnd taskbar, macOS
Finder/Dock) so 'show me my screen' and 'click the taskbar' work.
Previously capture() only matched application windows, and the schema
advertised 'or the whole screen' without any code path delivering it.

cua-driver is window-oriented (no virtual-desktop or per-monitor MCP
tool), so a single image still cannot span multiple monitors — the
schema now states this and the no-desktop-window path returns a clear
message instead of silently grabbing the frontmost app.

* hermes_state: add SessionDB.delete_telegram_topic_binding (#31501)

Targeted ``(chat_id, thread_id)`` prune for the
``telegram_dm_topic_bindings`` table — the missing piece for
#31501, where the Telegram adapter detects a topic the user
deleted out-of-band but the binding row keeps living in
state.db.  The recovery logic in
``gateway.run._recover_telegram_topic_thread_id`` then steers
every future inbound message back to the dead topic, dropping
tool progress, approvals and replies into the wrong place.

Returns the number of rows deleted; silently no-ops when the
topic-mode tables haven't been migrated yet (read-only / pristine
profile) so the helper is safe to call from a send-fallback
hot path before the schema has run.

* gateway/telegram: prune stale DM topic binding on Thread-not-found (#31501)

Both fallback sites that currently log "Thread X not found,
retrying without message_thread_id" now also drop the
``telegram_dm_topic_bindings`` row keyed on
``(chat_id, thread_id)``:

* The streaming send loop (``send`` body) — fires on the
  second failure, after the same-thread one-shot retry confirms
  the thread really is gone (the first attempt is left alone
  because Bot API has been observed to return a transient
  "Thread not found" that recovers on immediate retry).
* The control-message helper ``_send_message_with_thread_fallback``
  (approval prompts, model picker, update prompts) — single-shot
  retry, prune unconditionally on the BadRequest match.

Without this prune, a user who deletes a Telegram DM topic in
the client keeps getting their next inbound message recovered
back to the dead thread by
``_recover_telegram_topic_thread_id`` in ``gateway/run.py``,
which walks the per-user binding list newest-first and treats
the deleted thread as authoritative.  The reproduction in the
bug report is exactly this: tool progress, approvals, activity
messages and replies all land in the wrong place until the user
manually runs DELETE on state.db.

Cleanup is best-effort — we log at INFO when it succeeds, swallow
any exception from the SessionDB call, and the user-facing send
proceeds either way.

Refs #31501

* tests: regression coverage for stale topic-binding prune (#31501)

Thirteen tests across four layers:

* ``SessionDB.delete_telegram_topic_binding`` — pin the new
  helper's contract: removes only the (chat_id, thread_id) row
  it was asked about, leaves siblings alone, returns 0 silently
  when the row never existed, and is a no-op on a pristine
  database whose topic-mode tables haven't been migrated yet.
* ``TelegramAdapter._prune_stale_dm_topic_binding`` — the glue
  must drop the binding when ``self._session_store._db``
  exposes the helper, swallow exceptions so a failed cleanup
  never breaks the user-facing send, and refuse to issue a
  DELETE for ``chat_id=None`` / ``thread_id=None`` so a
  bookkeeping miss can't accidentally null-match every row.
* Source-level guards on ``TelegramAdapter.send`` and
  ``_send_message_with_thread_fallback`` — the prune call must
  sit beside the two existing "Thread X not found, retrying
  without message_thread_id" warnings, before the retry runs,
  so a future refactor can't silently drop the cleanup wire.
* End-to-end semantic — once a topic is pruned, the
  ``GatewayRunner._recover_telegram_topic_thread_id`` walk
  steers future inbound messages to the surviving binding
  instead of the dead one.  This is the exact behaviour change
  the bug report's reproduction asks for: no more landings in
  the wrong topic until the operator hand-edits ``state.db``.

Refs #31501

* fix(telegram): disable DM topic mode when last binding is pruned

Follow-up to #31501. When the send-fallback prune removes a chat's
final telegram_dm_topic_bindings row, also flip
telegram_dm_topic_mode.enabled to 0 in the same transaction.

Without this, a user who turns topics off in the Telegram client
(rather than via /topic off) leaves enabled=1 with zero lanes:
_recover_telegram_topic_thread_id keeps treating the chat as
topic-enabled and lobby messages keep hunting for bindings that no
longer exist. Clearing the flag makes recovery fully stand down once
the dead topics are gone.

Adds 3 regression tests covering the last-binding clear, the
multi-binding no-op, and the unmatched-prune no-op.

* fix(api): allow dashboard updates for git checkouts in containers (#51005)

Salvages #50469 by @libre-7.

_dashboard_local_update_managed_externally() previously blocked every containerized dashboard from the local update API, even when the running install was a bind-mounted git checkout that can be updated with hermes update.

Allow the dashboard updater only for git installs inside containers, while keeping hosted /opt/data, docker, and pip installs managed externally. Pip remains blocked because its apply path mutates the running container filesystem and is not the self-managed checkout case.

Adds regression coverage for docker, git, and pip install-method handling inside containers, and maps the contributor email for release attribution.

* fix(model_switch): route typed configured models off openai-codex (#45006)

A typed `/model <name>` where `<name>` is declared under `providers.<slug>` or
`custom_providers` — but typed while the current provider is a soft-accepting
one (e.g. `openai-codex`) — stayed on the current provider and was swallowed as
an unknown hidden Codex model, instead of routing to the provider that actually
declares it.

Add configured-provider exact-match detection (`_configured_provider_matches`)
and a new Step d.5 in `switch_model`: if the typed model is declared in
user/custom provider config, route to that provider BEFORE
`detect_provider_for_model()` guesses from static catalogs and BEFORE the
common-path validation lets a soft-accepting current provider swallow the name.

- Matching is exact (case-insensitive) against explicitly-declared model
  collections only (`models`, `model`, `default_model`) — never fuzzy/family.
- Same-provider declarer → keep current provider (canonicalize the id).
- Multiple declarers → fail clearly and ask for `--provider <slug>`.
- Single declarer → route there; for `providers.<slug>` user providers, set
  `explicit_provider` so the credential block resolves base_url/key from config.
- Step e (`detect_provider_for_model`) is gated off when `config_routed`.

The deliberately-supported openai-codex / xai-oauth hidden-model soft-accept
(#16172 / #19729) is left untouched: when nothing in config matches, detection
is a no-op.

* fix(image/video gen): make schema delivery instruction platform-neutral (#51031)

* chore: re-trigger CI (workflows did not dispatch on prior head)

* fix(image/video gen): make schema delivery instruction platform-neutral

The image_generate and video_generate tool schema descriptions hardcoded
a gateway-only delivery instruction ('display it with markdown
![description](url-or-path) and the gateway will deliver it'). That schema
is sent on every platform, so on CLI it directly contradicted the CLI
platform hint ('Do NOT emit MEDIA:/path tags ... state its absolute path
in plain text'), and on messaging platforms it was also wrong about the
mechanism (local file paths are delivered via MEDIA: tags, not markdown
image syntax — markdown ![]() only works for URLs).

The per-platform file-delivery convention is already owned correctly by
the platform hints in prompt_builder.py. The tool schema now just
describes the result shape (URL or absolute path in the image/video field)
and defers 'how to deliver' to the active platform's guidance.

Provider/model injection already works via _build_dynamic_image_schema()
(the 'Active backend: <provider> · model: <model>' line); no change there.

* fix(computer-use): delete broken pre-install asset probe; trust the upstream installer

`hermes computer-use install` refused to install on Linux, Windows, and
macOS x86_64 because the pre-install asset probe was hitting the wrong
GitHub endpoint AND duplicating tag-resolution logic the upstream
installer already does correctly.

`_check_cua_driver_asset_for_arch()` queried
`https://api.github.com/repos/trycua/cua/releases/latest`. On trycua/cua:

- cua-driver-rs releases (the binary the installer fetches) are marked
  **prerelease** on every cut. GitHub's `/releases/latest` explicitly
  skips prereleases.
- The Python package releases (`cua-agent`, `cua-computer`, `cua-train`)
  are non-prerelease and end up as the "latest" instead.

Live API check today:

  $ curl -sf https://api.github.com/repos/trycua/cua/releases/latest \
      | jq '{tag:.tag_name, asset_count: (.assets|length)}'
  { "tag": "agent-v0.8.3", "asset_count": 0 }

The probe sees zero assets, prints "Latest CUA release has no Linux
x86_64 asset", and skips install on every Linux / Windows / macOS-x86_64
host — even though the cua-driver-rs-v0.6.0 release ships 19 binary
assets covering all those platforms.

Filtering `/releases?per_page=N` for the `cua-driver-rs-v*` prefix
fixes the bug, but it duplicates tag-resolution logic the upstream
`_install-rust.sh` already does correctly via `CUA_DRIVER_RS_BAKED_VERSION`
(auto-baked by CD on every release, with a `/releases?per_page=N` API
fallback for dev checkouts). The right answer is to trust that
contract instead of mirroring it in Python where it can drift.

Two paths get the same outcome without the probe:

1. **Fresh install**: run `install.sh` directly. It has the baked
   release tag, fetches the right asset, and errors with a clear
   message on missing-arch downloads. No preflight needed.
2. **Upgrade path**: `cua_driver_update_check()` (separately added)
   shells `cua-driver check-update --json` against the installed
   binary, which returns the canonical update answer from the same
   source the installer uses.

- `hermes_cli/tools_config.py`: delete `_check_cua_driver_asset_for_arch`
  and its two call sites in `install_cua_driver`. Replace with an
  inline comment near the top of the module explaining the rationale.
- `tests/hermes_cli/test_install_cua_driver.py`: drop the
  `TestCheckCuaDriverAssetForArch` block. Add `TestArchProbeRemoval`
  with three regressions:

  - `test_probe_function_is_gone` — asserts the deleted helpers stay
    deleted.
  - `test_fresh_install_does_not_call_github_api` — asserts the
    install path doesn't hit GitHub directly from Python anymore.
  - `test_upgrade_with_binary_does_not_call_github_api_directly` —
    same for the upgrade path.

All 9 `test_install_cua_driver` tests pass.

* fix(tests): update cua install tests for cross-platform support

f-trycua's #50855 test file predated the cross-platform PR (#50552) and
reintroduced two stale tests asserting Linux is unsupported
(test_*_non_macos_*, patching platform.system="Linux" and expecting a
no-op/warn). Linux + Windows are supported now, so install proceeds on
those platforms. Restore main's cross-platform-correct versions:
test_*_on_unsupported_platform_* using FreeBSD as the genuinely
unsupported case.

* fix(agent): complete final text on last turn

* fix(cron): deliver max-iteration fallback reports

* test(discord): add regression test for 100-command sync limit

Add a test to verify that _safe_sync_slash_commands deletes obsolete
commands before creating new ones. This ensures we never temporarily
exceed Discord's 100-command limit during sync, which would trigger
error 30032 and break all slash commands.

This test guards against the regression where sync could fail even though
the registration cap was properly enforced.

* fix(discord): delete obsolete slash commands before creating new ones

Discord enforces a hard 100-command limit per app and rejects an upsert that would push the live total over 100 (error 30032), which silently breaks ALL slash commands. The sync deleted obsolete commands AFTER creating new ones, so an app already at the cap momentarily exceeded it and the whole sync failed.

Reorder: delete no-longer-desired commands up front, then create/update. Removes the now-redundant trailing delete loop. Adapts @infinitycrew39 PR #50890 to current main (the original adapter diff no longer applied after the platform refactor); test commit cherry-picked with authorship preserved.

* fix(cron): fail closed when an unpinned job's provider drifts from creation snapshot (#44585)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* fix(security): deny root-level credential stores in media delivery

The media-delivery denylist in gateway/platforms/base.py enumerated only
.env/auth.json/credentials/config.yaml under HERMES_HOME, so other
credential stores that live at the root fell through and could be
auto-attached to chat replies. The reported case: the Google Workspace
skill's google_token.json refreshes every turn, bumping its mtime to
'now', which kept passing the strict-mode recency window and re-sent the
OAuth token on every reply.

Extend the explicit per-file denylist to mirror the canonical credential
set already enforced by the read/write guards in agent/file_safety.py:
google_token.json, google_oauth_pending.json, auth/google_oauth.json,
.anthropic_oauth.json, webhook_subscriptions.json, cache/bws_cache.json,
auth.lock, and the pairing/ token directory.

Targeted per-file additions (not a blanket ~/.hermes deny, which was
declined in #32090/#34425 because it would block skills/, logs/, and
ad-hoc agent-written deliverables). mcp-tokens/ (#37222) and
state.db/kanban.db (#41071) are left to their sibling targeted PRs.

* fix(memory): apply /memory approve against a fresh store when no live agent

The CLI /memory slash handler (cli_commands_mixin._handle_memory_command)
passed self.agent._memory_store straight through, which is None when the
command runs without a live agent — e.g. /memory approve from the Desktop
GUI. The shared write-approval handler then returns "memory store
unavailable" and applies nothing, even with built-in memory enabled and
pending writes present.

Fall back to a freshly loaded on-disk MemoryStore when no live store is
available, mirroring the gateway path (gateway/slash_commands.py). It
persists to the same MEMORY/USER.md and creates MEMORY.md on the first
approved write.

Fixes #46783

* fix(memory): honor configured char limits in the no-agent on-disk store

Follow-up to the /memory approve fresh-store fix. Both the CLI fallback and
the messaging-gateway handler built a bare MemoryStore() with the hardcoded
default char limits (2200/1375), ignoring the user's configured
memory.memory_char_limit / user_char_limit. A live agent honors those
overrides (agent/agent_init.py), so an approval applied without a live agent
could accept a write the user's lower cap would reject, or vice versa.

Extract a shared tools.memory_tool.load_on_disk_store() factory that reads
the configured limits (falling back to defaults if config can't load) and
wire both the CLI and gateway handlers to it, closing the gap on both
surfaces and de-duplicating the construction block.

* fix(gateway): redact credentials from TUI approval prompts (#48456)

Follow-up to #50767, which redacted the chat-platform (_approval_notify_sync)
and SSE/API (_approval_notify) approval transports. The TUI JSON-RPC transport
is the third egress and was missed: three register_gateway_notify callbacks in
tui_gateway/server.py emitted the raw approval_data — including the unredacted
command Tirith flagged — straight to the TUI client via _emit.

Route all three registrations through a new module-level _emit_approval_request()
helper that redacts payload['command'] via the shared
gateway.run._redact_approval_command seam before emitting, matching the pattern
used for the other two transports. Completes the whole-bug-class fix for #48456.

Tests: assert the helper emits a redacted command (real credential pattern),
handles missing/None command, and a wiring guard that no registration emits the
raw payload directly (only the helper may). Both mutation-checked.

The #48456 fix series originated from @liuhao1024's #48462 — credit to them for
the original report and chat-platform fix; this completes the remaining transport.

* fix(file_tools): resolve tilde using profile home for file operations (#48552)

File tools (read_file, write_file, patch, list_directory, etc.) used
os.path.expanduser() which reads the gateway process HOME env var.
In Docker/systemd/s6 deployments where the gateway HOME differs from
interactive sessions, tilde expanded to the wrong directory.

Add _expand_tilde() helper that delegates to get_subprocess_home() when
available, falling back to os.path.expanduser(). Replace all 9
expanduser() call sites in file_tools.py with _expand_tilde().

* fix(cron): scope job execution to its owning profile (#32091 follow-up) (#50993)

The #32091 fix moved every profile's cron jobs into one shared root store,
but never wired the execution-scoping half it recommended: a job still ran
under whichever profile's ticker picked it up, not its owning profile. So a
job created under `hermes -p donna` could execute with the root profile's
.env / config.yaml / credentials.

- jobs.py: create_job auto-captures the active profile (explicit profile=
  override available) and stores it on the job; resolve_profile_home() maps a
  profile name to its HERMES_HOME; legacy jobs backfill to 'default'.
- scheduler.py: run_job applies the job's profile via a scoped HERMES_HOME
  override (env var + in-process ContextVar) before any .env/config/script
  load, restored in finally. tick() routes profile-mismatched jobs to the
  single-worker sequential pool so the env mutation can't race.
- cronjob tool threads profile through (NOT exposed in the model schema, to
  avoid cross-profile privilege escalation); hermes cron add gains --profile.

E2E verified against a temp HERMES_HOME with a real profile dir: a root-profile
ticker runs a profile='donna' job with HERMES_HOME=donna during execution and
restores the ticker env afterward.

* feat(background-review): aux-model selector for the self-improvement review (#49252)

Adds auxiliary.background_review.{provider,model} (default auto = main chat
model — unchanged). Set it to a different, cheaper model and the post-turn
self-improvement review runs there for ~3-5x lower cost.

Cache-aware by design: the main chat is warm in the prompt cache, so the
default full-history replay on the main model is cheap cache reads — left
exactly as-is. A different model can't reuse that cache (different key), so
when (and only when) routed to a different model the fork replays a compact
digest instead of the full transcript, minimising what it cold-writes on the
aux model. Same model -> full replay; different model -> digest.

Quality holds in benchmarks: memory capture identical, skill near-identical.
Nothing changes unless you opt in by naming a different model.

* feat(computer-use): surface macOS permission preflight in the desktop

Computer Use already worked through the desktop backend (the cua-driver
toolset enables + installs via Settings -> Skills & Tools), but there was
no in-app way to see or grant the two macOS permissions it needs, so "give
a model my Mac" was tribal knowledge.

The grants attach to cua-driver's OWN TCC identity (com.trycua.driver /
the installed CuaDriver.app), not Hermes -- so no app entitlement is
involved. cua-driver 0.5+ exposes `permissions status/grant`, which we wrap:

- tools/computer_use/permissions.py: thin client over the two subcommands
- hermes computer-use permissions {status,grant}: CLI parity
- GET /api/tools/computer-use/status, POST .../permissions/grant: desktop REST
- ComputerUsePanel: live Accessibility + Screen Recording state with a
  Grant button (dialog attributed to CuaDriver), shown in the expanded
  Computer Use toolset row. Binary install stays in the existing provider
  post-setup runner.

Follow-ups: i18n the card copy; a "Stop driver" control (cua-driver stop)
for the runaway-`serve` case.

* fix(computer-use): vision capture returns an image on cua-driver >=0.5.x

Vision mode called a `screenshot` MCP tool that cua-driver dropped in
0.5.x (full-window PNG capture was folded into `get_window_state`). The
driver replied "Unknown tool: screenshot", so `images` came back empty,
`png_b64` stayed None, and capture returned a 0x0 result with no image
on every call. `som`/`ax` were unaffected because they already use
`get_window_state`, which masked the regression.

Route vision by capability:
- driver advertises `screenshot` (older builds) -> use it (no AX walk)
- otherwise -> call `get_window_state` but discard the AX tree/elements,
  returning only the PNG so vision stays free of element noise
- capabilities not yet discovered -> try `screenshot`, fall back to
  `get_window_state` on an empty image, so the path self-heals

Add `_image_from_tool_result` to pull the PNG from either an MCP image
content-part or `structuredContent.screenshot_png_b64`, and use it on
the som path too so the image won't silently drop on driver builds that
deliver it via structuredContent instead of a content part.

Verified live (vision: 1568x954, 0 elements; som: image + 527 elements)
and with unit coverage of all four routing cases.

* feat(computer-use): make the preflight cross-platform (win/linux)

The card was macOS-only. cua-driver also runs on Windows and Linux, so
fold `cua-driver doctor` (cross-platform binary/health probes) into a
single OS-aware `ready` signal:

- macOS: ready == both TCC grants; keeps the permission rows + grant flow.
- Windows/Linux: no TCC toggles, so ready == driver health, with a
  per-OS note (SmartScreen/UIAccess on Windows; X11/XWayland on Linux).

`computer_use_status()` replaces the macOS-only `permissions_status()` and
surfaces `platform`, `ready`, `can_grant`, and the doctor `checks` (non-ok
ones render as warnings). CLI `permissions status`, the REST endpoint, and
the desktop card all key off the one payload. Grant stays macOS-only (400
elsewhere — nothing to grant).

* fix(computer-use): set stdin=DEVNULL on cua-driver subprocess calls

The subprocess-stdin guard (TUI gateway fd-inheritance protection) flagged
the `permissions grant` call. None of the cua-driver probes/grant read
stdin, so DEVNULL is correct; apply it to the shared `_run` helper and the
grant call.

* fix(desktop): avoid stack overflow on embedded image replay

Replace the giant embedded-image regex with a bounded scanner so opening sessions with multi-megabyte data URLs does not crash the renderer.

* fix(agent): shrink anthropic-native image history

Retry image-size rejections by rewriting Anthropic base64 image source blocks, not just OpenAI-style image_url parts.

* feat(desktop): add timeline rail for long chat threads

Adds a compact right-edge prompt timeline for long desktop chat sessions, with hover previews, click-to-jump, active/hover row states, and pane hover-reveal suppression so the rail can live at the hard edge without opening side panels.

* test(honcho): isolate auth-method prompt from deployment-shape wizard tests

main's wizard suite scripts the cloud prompts without the OAuth auth-method step; auto-answer it in the shared helper so the answer lists stay shape-only.

* docs(honcho): document query-adaptive reasoning level (reasoningHeuristic)

README never mentioned reasoningHeuristic and listed reasoningLevelCap as an orphaned cap with the wrong default (— vs "high"). Add the query-adaptive scaling note + the reasoningHeuristic/reasoningLevelCap rows (grouped under Dialectic & Reasoning), matching the wording already on the hosted honcho.md page, and add a pointer from the memory-providers overview.

* fix(honcho): default the CLI peer prompt to the OAuth consent name

The CLI runs the grant with apply_config=False, so the peerName the user just entered at consent was dropped and the wizard's 'Your name' prompt fell back to $USER. Surface it as a transient OAuthCredential.consent_peer_name (set even when config isn't merged) and seed the prompt default from it.

* feat(honcho): split OAuth client_id by surface (cli=hermes-agent, desktop=hermes-desktop)

resolve_endpoints now picks the client_id from the initiating surface and
threads it through authorize -> token exchange -> persisted grant -> refresh,
so the CLI and desktop register as distinct OAuth clients. Surface-specific
env overrides (HONCHO_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID_CLI/_DESKTOP) win over the generic
HONCHO_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID, which still overrides every surface.

* feat(honcho): show OAuth vs API key in status; detect existing OAuth in setup

status now prints 'Auth: OAuth (clientId, token valid Xm/expired)' instead of
masking the OAuth access token as a generic API key; setup notes an existing
OAuth grant when re-run.

* docs(honcho): drop 'shared pool' wording from unified observation mode help

* fix(honcho): cross-process lock around OAuth refresh to prevent grant revocation

The in-process threading lock can't stop a sibling process (another profile or
the desktop app sharing honcho.json) from replaying the single-use refresh
token and tripping reuse-detection, which revokes the whole grant. Guard the
read-refresh-persist section with an OS file lock on <config>.lock so only one
process rotates at a time; the others re-read the freshly-persisted token.
Best-effort: platforms without flock degrade to in-process serialization.

* refactor(honcho): one OAuth client (hermes-agent) for all surfaces

Collapse the per-surface client_id split. CLI and desktop now use a single
client_id (hermes-agent); consent branding/UI still adapt via the source query
param. One grant identity means no clientId-vs-refresh-token desync that could
get the grant revoked. HONCHO_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID still overrides for self-hosting.

* fix(honcho): per-session resolves to session_id, never remapped by title

Reorder resolve_session_name so stable identifiers win over labels: gateway
per-chat key first, then the per-session session_id, then the cwd map / title.
A (possibly auto-generated) title can no longer remap a live per-session
conversation onto a second Honcho session mid-stream — fixes the desktop, which
is per-conversation via session_id. Consequence: a gateway's per-chat key now
also wins over a title (titles never remap a stable id).

* fix(desktop): stop auto-opening tool previews

Drop gateway-event preview registration so HTML artifacts from tool results
no longer pop the rail. De-dupe the inline preview card label.

* feat(desktop): detect tool previews into composer status stack

Register previewable artifacts from the tool row, feed a session-scoped store,
and render compact rows above the composer. Remove the inline preview card.

* fix(desktop): toggle preview rail and open in browser

Status row opens/closes the preview pane; external link uses a dedicated
file:// browser bridge (openExternal, not openPath).

* style(desktop): soften inline code and expanded tool chrome

Drop the inline-code border; halve the expanded tool block radius.

* feat(agent): expose coding-context project facts as structured data + project.facts RPC (#51259)

Follow-up to the coding-context posture (#43316): that PR detects each repo's
verify loop (manifests, package manager, exact test/lint/build commands, context
files) and bakes it into the system-prompt snapshot — but only as a string, for
the model. Non-prompt consumers (the desktop verify UI) had no way to read it
without re-sniffing and drifting from the prompt.

Split detection from rendering, keeping one source of truth:

- `detect_project_facts(root) -> ProjectFacts` (frozen) holds the structured
  facts; `_project_facts()` now renders it into the same snapshot lines, so the
  prompt block stays byte-identical (cache-safe).
- `project_facts_for(cwd)` resolves the workspace root (git, else marker) and
  returns the structured facts, or None outside a workspace.
- `project.facts` gateway RPC surfaces it to any client (desktop/TUI/ACP).

Tests assert the structured output and that the UI-facing commands never drift
from what the prompt block renders (one detector feeds both).

* feat(agent): one-shot LLM helper + llm.oneshot gateway RPC (#51261)

A "one-shot" is a single stateless model call that runs OUTSIDE any conversation:
it never touches session history, never breaks prompt caching, and returns plain
text. UI surfaces need this for small generative chores — a commit message from a
diff, a rename suggestion, a summary — where an agent turn would pollute the
thread and hand-rolling an LLM call at every call site would be worse.

- `agent/oneshot.py`: `run_oneshot(...)` over the existing auxiliary-client
  plumbing (same path as title generation). Two call shapes: explicit
  instructions/input, or a registered `template` + `variables` (templates own the
  prompt engineering so it stays consistent across CLI/TUI/desktop). Ships a
  `commit_message` template. Model selection inherits the live session via
  `main_runtime`, else the configured aux `task` backend.
- `tui_gateway/server.py`: `llm.oneshot` RPC (long-handler) inheriting the
  session's model when `session_id` resolves.

Stateless by construction — no session mutation, cache untouched.

* feat(relay): declare relevance policy to the connector + document the management plane (#51248)

The gateway half of Phase 6 Unit ζ: project the agent's existing relevance
knobs into the connector's platform-agnostic vocabulary and declare them at boot
over the /relay/policy route, so the SAME mention-gating / free-response /
allow-bots behavior the agent applies directly also governs relay delivery (and
excluded chatter never wakes a scaled-to-zero agent).

- gateway/relay/__init__.py:
  - relay_relevance_policy(): project require_mention -> requireAddress,
    free_response_channels -> freeResponseScopes, {PLATFORM}_ALLOW_BOTS in
    {mentions,all} -> allowOtherBots. Reads the fronted platform's config block
    + bridged top-level keys. Returns None when all-default (the connector's
    quiet default already matches) or no concrete platform is fronted.
  - send_relay_policy(): POST /relay/policy authenticated with the gateway's own
    per-gateway upgrade token (make_upgrade_token — same bearer as the WS
    upgrade), so the connector attaches it to the authenticated instance, never
    a body-asserted id. Re-declares every boot (self-healing, full replace).
    NEVER raises, NEVER blocks boot — relevance is an optimization layered on
    the δ/ε authorization gate. Reuses the per-gateway secret + the
    /relay/provision host; no new inbound surface, no new credential.
  - _policy_url(): ws(s)://…/relay -> http(s)://…/relay/policy.
- gateway/run.py: call send_relay_policy() after register_relay_adapter()
  succeeds (the secret is resolved by then).
- docs/relay-connector-contract.md: new §7 documenting per-instance delivery +
  the management plane (/manage/* + /relay/policy) + the relevance-declaration
  contract; versioning renumbered to §8. Contract conformance test stays green
  (§2/§3 tables untouched).

Tests: +12 (projection mapping incl. comma-string + top-level fallback; send
auth/skip/fail-soft/non-200). Full relay suite 118 pass. The connector route is
already E2E-proven (connector repo gateway_policy_driver.py); this adds the real
gateway send-path it pairs with.

This completes Phase 6 (Team Gateway per-user isolation) end to end.

* fix(slack): transcribe in-app voice messages (audio/mp4) instead of failing

Slack in-app voice clips ("record a clip") arrive as MP4/AAC containers
(mimetype audio/mp4, filename audio_message*.mp4), and Slack sometimes
labels them video/mp4. The inbound audio handler derived the cache
extension from the mimetype and fell back to ".ogg" for anything not in
{.ogg,.mp3,.wav,.webm,.m4a} — so audio/mp4 voice messages were cached as
.ogg. OpenAI STT (whisper-1, gpt-4o-transcribe) sniffs the container from
the FILENAME extension, so it received MP4 bytes named .ogg and rejected
them. WhatsApp .ogg and uploaded .m4a worked only because their extension
happened to match the bytes.

Fix:
- _resolve_slack_audio_ext(): pick the cache extension from the real
  filename first, then a mimetype map (audio/mp4 -> .m4a), defaulting to
  .m4a — never the bogus .ogg fallback. Mirrors the video branch and the
  audio map already in gateway/platforms/bluebubbles.py.
- _is_slack_voice_clip(): detect audio-only clips mislabeled video/mp4
  via the slack_audio subtype / audio_message* filename, and route them
  through the audio path (cached as audio, reported as audio/*) so they
  reach STT instead of video understanding. Genuine videos (and
  slack_video screen recordings) are left on the video path.

Verified end-to-end against a real audio-only MP4: old path cached it as
.ogg (ffprobe shows MP4 bytes -> container mismatch -> OpenAI rejects);
new path caches it as .mp4 (extension matches bytes -> accepted).

Adds inbound-audio tests (previously none): helper unit tests plus
_handle_slack_message E2E coverage for audio/mp4, video/mp4-mislabeled
voice clips, and a real video staying on the video path. Confirmed the
two voice-message tests fail without the fix (mutation check).

* fix(slack): report ext-matched audio mimetype for rerouted voice clips

Follow-up to the salvaged voice-clip fix: the rerouted video/mp4 branch
used {".m4a": "audio/mp4"}.get(ext, "audio/mp4"), whose sole key's value
equals the default, so it always returned "audio/mp4" regardless of the
cached extension (dead lookup + a throwaway dict per inbound voice clip).

Replace it with a module-level _SLACK_EXT_TO_AUDIO_MIME map so the reported
media_type matches the bytes we cached (e.g. a clip cached as .wav now
reports audio/wav instead of audio/mp4). STT routing already keys on the
audio/ prefix + cached filename extension, so behavior is unchanged; this
just removes the dead construct and keeps the reported mimetype coherent.

* docs(computer-use): document Windows UIPI elevated-window limitation (#51121)

A Medium-integrity Hermes agent cannot drive High-integrity (admin)
windows on Windows — UIPI blocks UIA enumeration and mouse injection
(SOM returns 0 elements, clicks silently no-op, screenshots still work,
keyboard partially bypasses). OS constraint affecting every Windows
automation stack, not a cua-driver bug. Document the symptom + the
run-elevated workaround. Closes #49067.

* ci: run only the lanes a PR affects (python/frontend/site)

Heavy PR checks run on every PR because the workflows deliberately avoid
`on.paths` filters — a path-gated workflow leaves its required check pending
forever when no matching file changes, blocking merge. So a docs-only PR
still spins up the TypeScript matrix, the full Python suite, and ruff/ty.

Keep every workflow triggering on every PR (checks always report) but gate
the expensive *steps* on what the PR touches. Skipping a step (not the job)
leaves the job green, so required checks never hang — the same idiom already
proven in contributor-check.yml.

A classifier (scripts/ci/classify_changes.py) maps the PR diff to three
lanes — python, frontend, site — surfaced as step outputs by a composite
action (.github/actions/detect-changes). Fail-open: an empty diff or any
.github/ change runs everything; python is a denylist (skipped only when
every file is provably prose or a frontend-only package); skills/**/SKILL.md
counts as python-relevant since the skill-doc tests read that tree. Non-PR
events always run the full pipeline.

* ci: build Docker on main + release only, never on PRs

The image build + smoke test + integration suite are the heaviest jobs in CI
(~9-11 min) and ran on every PR. Gate them to push-to-main and release: a
broken build surfaces on the main push, while the cheap pre-merge guards
(docker-lint hadolint/shellcheck, uv-lockfile-check) still run on PRs to
catch the common Dockerfile/lockfile breakage. Steps skip on PRs so the job
stays green; the dead PR-only arm64 cache-warm build is removed.

* ci: make dependency installs resilient to transient flakes

`npm ci` / `uv sync` / toolchain header fetches occasionally die on
transient network blips — e.g. node-pty's node-gyp fetching Node headers
(an undici assert) during the typecheck job's `npm ci`, which killed the job
before `tsc` ever ran. "Re-run and it goes green" is exactly what CI should
do itself.

- New reusable `.github/actions/retry` composite action wraps a command and
  retries on failure (3x / 10s, command passed via env so it can't inject).
  Applied to every PR-path network install: npm ci (typecheck, desktop
  build, docs site), uv sync (tests, e2e), uv tool install (lint),
  pip install (docs site).
- typecheck now runs `npm ci --ignore-scripts`: `tsc` needs only sources +
  type defs, so skipping install scripts drops node-pty's native rebuild
  (whose header fetch was the flake) and is faster. Validated locally — tsc
  passes for ui-tui, apps/shared, and apps/desktop with scripts skipped.
- ripgrep download uses `curl --retry`.

Docker (main-only) and the release/windows workflows are intentionally left
for a follow-up.

* ci: refactor paths & clones

ci: centralize path-gating behind single orchestrator + all-checks-pass
gate

Replace the scattered per-workflow detect-changes pattern with a single
ci.yml orchestrator that runs the classifier once, then conditionally
calls sub-workflows via workflow_call based on lane outputs. A final
all-checks-pass job (if: always()) aggregates all results so branch
protection only needs to require one check.

Changes:
- New .github/workflows/ci.yml orchestrator (detect + conditional calls
  + all-checks-pass gate)
- Extend classify_changes.py with scan/deps/mcp_catalog lanes, absorbing
  supply-chain-audit's internal changes job
- Update detect-changes/action.yml to expose the new lane outputs
- Convert all 10 PR-gated sub-workflows to workflow_call-only triggers,
  removing their push/pull_request triggers and per-step detect-changes
  guards (gating now happens at the orchestrator level)
- lint.yml + supply-chain-audit.yml receive event_name as a
workflow_call
  input to replace github.event_name (which is "workflow_call" inside
  called workflows)
- supply-chain-audit.yml: remove internal changes job + *-gate jobs
  (orchestrator handles gating, booleans arrive as inputs)
- contributor-check.yml: remove internal filter step
- Update test_classify_changes.py for 6-lane output + new supply-chain
  test cases

* ci: remove unused windows installer job

* fix(ci): only run supplychain checks in pr

* fix(desktop): replace native title tooltips with styled Tip component

* fix(ci): classify should default to no MCP

* fix(install): drop system-browser fallback + auto-repair stale snap override

The installer scanned PATH/well-known locations for a Chrome/Chromium binary
and, when found, skipped the bundled Playwright Chromium download and wrote that
path into ~/.hermes/.env as AGENT_BROWSER_EXECUTABLE_PATH. On Snap-based systems
`command -v chromium` resolves to /snap/bin/chromium, whose sandbox blocks
agent-browser's control socket under /tmp -- so every browser_navigate hung
until the 60s timeout fired ("opening web page failed").

Drop the system-browser fallback entirely (per maintainer direction):
find_system_browser()/Find-SystemBrowser now honor ONLY an explicit, user-set
AGENT_BROWSER_EXECUTABLE_PATH override -- no PATH scan, no well-known-path scan.
A /snap/* path is rejected even when set explicitly, since its confinement is
the bug. Applied to both install.sh (Linux/macOS) and install.ps1 (Windows).

Crucially, also auto-repair already-affected installs: the bad snap path
persists in .env and is read directly by the runtime, and the installer skips
re-config when AGENT_BROWSER_EXECUTABLE_PATH is already set ("already
configured"), so a plain reinstall/update never recovered an existing user. New
strip_snap_browser_override() removes a snap-pointing AGENT_BROWSER_EXECUTABLE_PATH
(and its auto-written comment) from .env on every install/update, run from both
browser-setup paths (install_node_deps and ensure_browser), so updating is
enough to recover. A deliberately-set non-snap override is left untouched.

docker/stage2-hook.sh is intentionally untouched: it discovers the bundled
Playwright Chromium, not a system browser.

* test(install): assert no system-browser auto-detect + snap override repair

Replace the old "skips download when a system browser exists" assertions with
tests for the new behavior:
- no PATH scan for browser command names, and the "use the system browser" path
  is gone;
- find_system_browser consults only an explicit AGENT_BROWSER_EXECUTABLE_PATH
  override (which still skips the bundled download);
- strip_snap_browser_override runs on both install paths and a /snap/* path is
  rejected, so already-affected installs auto-recover on update.

* feat(discord): render reasoning as -# subtext via display.reasoning_style (#51168)

Adds a per-platform display.reasoning_style setting (code | blockquote |
subtext) controlling how the show_reasoning summary renders on the gateway.
Discord defaults to "subtext" (-# small grey metadata text); every other
platform keeps the fenced code block. Resolves through the existing
display.platforms.<platform>.reasoning_style override chain.

* feat(cli): track background subagents in the status bar (#51441)

The classic prompt_toolkit status bar already shows two background
indicators: ▶ N (/background agent threads) and ⚙ N (shell processes
spawned by terminal(background=true)). Background/async subagents
(delegate_task batches and background single delegations) had no
indicator despite being long-running work the user should be able to
see at a glance.

Add a third indicator ⛓ N sourced from
tools.async_delegation.active_count() — the count of delegations still
in the 'running' state. Renders in the plain-text builder and the
styled-fragment builder across the same width tiers as the other two
(omitted on the narrow <52 tier), guarded so a raising active_count()
leaves the snapshot at 0.

* feat(slack): add --no-assistant flag to manifest generation

By default `hermes slack manifest` opts the app into Slack's AI Assistant
container (assistant_view feature + assistant:write scope +
assistant_thread_* events). Slack then renders DMs as the right-hand
Assistant split-pane, where every exchange is a thread and bare slash
commands (/help, /new, ...) are not delivered as normal command events —
they only work when the bot is @mentioned. There was no way to opt out
short of hand-editing the generated JSON.

Add --no-assistant to emit a flat-DM manifest that omits those three
pieces, so DMs render as a normal chat and slash commands dispatch
inline. The regular messaging surface (Messages tab, slash commands,
Socket Mode, channel + DM scopes/events) is preserved in both modes.

Default behaviour is unchanged (assistant mode still on).

Tests: cover both manifest modes and the argparse wiring.

* feat(tui): track background subagents in the status bar (#51485)

Parity with the classic CLI status bar's ⛓ indicator (PR #51441). The
Ink TUI status bar now shows ⛓ N for live background/async subagents
(delegate_task batches + background single delegations).

- tui_gateway/server.py: _get_usage() embeds active_subagents from
  tools.async_delegation.active_count() — the same registry the CLI
  reads — onto the existing per-update usage payload, guarded so a
  raising active_count() leaves the field off without breaking usage.
- ui-tui appChrome: new 'subagents' status segment (breakpoint w>=92,
  slots between bg and cost in the shed-order), renders ⛓ N from
  usage.active_subagents.
- Usage / SessionUsageResponse types gain active_subagents?.

Distinct from the turn-scoped SpawnHud / /agents overlay, which mirror
live in-turn subagent.* events; this is the persistent registry count.

* feat: add reasoning_effort support to ollama-cloud provider

Map Hermes xhigh→max to unlock DeepSeek V4's 'Max thinking' tier
through Ollama Cloud's OpenAI-compatible /v1/chat/completions endpoint.
low/medium/high pass through unchanged; disabled/none suppress
reasoning entirely.

Empirically confirmed: reasoning_effort:max produces ~2.5× more
thinking tokens than high on deepseek-v4-pro:cloud (1576 vs 642).

* chore: add s010mn to AUTHOR_MAP for PR #29221 salvage

* fix(mcp): skip killpg when child shares gateway's process group (#47134)

/reload-mcp -> shutdown_mcp_servers -> _kill_orphaned_mcp_children(include_active=True)
-> _send_signal -> killpg(pgid, SIGTERM). When a tracked MCP stdio child shares
the gateway's OWN process group, killpg delivers SIGTERM to the gateway itself,
firing its SIGTERM handler -> os._exit(0): /reload-mcp crashes the gateway.

Pre-compute the gateway's own pgid (os.getpgrp(), None on Windows/restricted)
and, in _send_signal, skip killpg when pgid == own pgid, falling through to the
per-pid os.kill path so the child is still reaped without self-signaling.

Adds a regression test (folded in) that pins the guard: with a tracked pgid
equal to the gateway's own pgid, killpg is never called for that pgid and the
per-pid kill fallback is used. Mutation-checked.

* fix(tui): preserve live session identity across compression (#49041)

When a session rotates id on compression, _sync_session_key_after_compress()
re-anchored the session_key, approval-notify routing, yolo state, and slash
worker — but never moved the active-session lease, which stayed keyed to the
pre-compression id. And _find_live_session_by_key() matched live sessions on
the stale session_key, not the live agent's current agent.session_id. After
compression a resume/create path failed to recognize the existing live agent
and could build a SECOND live agent against the same DB continuation -> forked
lineage / cross-session message mixing.

- active_sessions.transfer_active_session(): move a lease in place to the new
  id under the exclusive file lock (no slot drop).
- gateway _transfer_active_session_slot(): call it inside
  _sync_session_key_after_compress(); on the rare fallback (entry pruned)
  RESERVE the new slot before releasing the old lease (reserve-before-release),
  so a concurrent gateway at the session cap cannot grab the freed slot in a
  release-then-reacquire window and leave this session with no lease; if the
  reserve fails, keep the existing lease (review fix).
- _session_lookup_key(): make live-session lookup authoritative on
  agent.session_id, wired into all stale-session_key consumers
  (_find_live_session_by_key, _session_live_item, _live_session_payload) —
  fixes the whole lookup class.

* fix(telegram): wire platform_httpx_limits into general-pool HTTPXRequest (#31599)

PTB's HTTPXRequest builds its httpx.AsyncClient with
`limits = httpx.Limits(max_connections=connection_pool_size)` and no
keepalive tuning, so httpx's default keepalive_expiry=5.0 applies. Behind
an HTTP proxy (Cloudflare Warp etc.) a peer-initiated FIN can sit in
CLOSE_WAIT longer than that, leaking fds in the general request pool
(_request[1], which routes bot.send_message/set_my_commands) — the pool
_drain_polling_connections never resets. Telegram was the lone holdout
adapter not using the shared #18451 CLOSE_WAIT helper.

Wire gateway.platforms._http_client_limits.platform_httpx_limits() into
the httpx client across ALL THREE request-construction branches —
fallback-transport, proxy, and plain — via httpx_kwargs["limits"], which
PTB spreads last into its client kwargs so our tuned limits win. PTB's
connection_pool_size (max_connections) is preserved; only keepalive
behaviour is tightened (max_keepalive_connections + keepalive_expiry<5.0).

The fix is macOS-import-safe: no Linux-only socket TCP_KEEPIDLE/INTVL/CNT
constants at module scope (unlike the broken candidate which crashed on
import on the reporter's OS), and it patches the actual proxy path the
repro hits rather than TelegramFallbackTransport, which the proxy repro
never instantiates.

Adds a mutation-survivable behavior-contract test asserting every
HTTPXRequest built by connect() receives httpx_kwargs["limits"] with
keepalive_expiry < httpx's 5.0 default, across both the proxy and plain
branches. Reverting the limits wiring fails the test.

* fix(agent): persist tool calls before turn-end flush

* feat(skills): /learn — distill a reusable skill from anything you describe (#51506)

Open-ended skill learning across every surface. /learn <free text> takes a
description of any source — a directory, a URL, the workflow you just walked
the agent through, or pasted notes — and the live agent gathers it with the
tools it already has (read_file/search_files, web_extract, the conversation,
the pasted text), then authors a SKILL.md via skill_manage following the
house authoring standards (<=60-char description, the standard section order,
Hermes-tool framing, no invented commands).

No engine, no model-tool footprint, works on any terminal backend (local,
Docker, remote): /learn builds a standards-guided prompt and hands it to the
agent as a normal turn.

- agent/learn_prompt.py: shared standards-guided prompt builder
- /learn registry entry (both surfaces) + CLI handler (inject onto input
  queue) + gateway handler (rewrite turn, fall through, /blueprint pattern)
- tui_gateway command.dispatch returns a send directive -> TUI + dashboard chat
- dashboard Skills page 'Learn a skill' panel (dir + URL + open-ended text)
  composes a /learn request and runs it in chat
- docs (slash-commands ref + skills feature page), 11 targeted tests

Inspired by OpenAI Codex's Record & Replay and the /learn concept from #47234
(dir-distillation engine); reworked to be open-ended and engine-free per
review.

* fix(agent): handle concurrent tool submit shutdown

* fix(gateway): preserve _session_tasks on guard mismatch to enable stale lock healing (#48300)

_session_task_is_stale() failed to detect a stale session lock when the owner
task completed and cleaned _session_tasks (del in _process_message_background's
finally) but _active_sessions was NOT released because _release_session_guard
skipped on a guard mismatch (a concurrent reset/new command or drain handoff
swapped _active_sessions[key] to a different guard). With no owner task left to
inspect, _session_task_is_stale reported 'not stale', the orphaned guard was
never healed, and the session deadlocked permanently — later messages received
but never dispatched.

Reorder the finally cleanup to release-then-conditional-delete: release the
guard first, then drop the _session_tasks entry ONLY if the guard was actually
released (session_key no longer in _active_sessions). On a guard mismatch the
done-task entry survives, so the on-entry self-heal (_session_task_is_stale ->
_heal_stale_session_lock) detects the stale lock and clears it on the next
inbound message.

Extracted the cleanup into a callable _cleanup_finished_session_task() helper so
the regression test drives the REAL production code path rather than a copy of
its logic (the original test inlined the fixed logic and passed regardless of
the production order — mutation-verified the rewritten tests now fail on the
buggy del-first order). Added a positive-path test (guard matches -> release +
delete) so both branches are pinned.

* chore(release): map manusjs email to manus-use GitHub login

Required by contributor-check/check-attribution before salvaging PR #51129
(Discord thread-starter dedup, #51057). The CI step greps AUTHOR_MAP by
exact email and does not special-case noreply addresses.

* fix(gateway): prevent double dispatch of Discord messages via thread-starter dedup

When _auto_create_thread() creates a thread from a user message via
message.create_thread(), Discord fires a second MESSAGE_CREATE event
for the 'thread starter message'.  That starter message carries
message.id == thread.id and may arrive with type=default instead of
type=21 (thread_starter_message), so the existing type filter in
on_message does not catch it — triggering a second call into
_handle_message and thus a second agent run and response.

Fix: after _auto_create_thread succeeds and returns a thread, pre-seed
the dedup cache with str(thread.id) via…

(delegate_task batches + background single delegations).

- tui_gateway/server.py: _get_usage() embeds active_subagents from
  tools.async_delegation.active_count() — the same registry the CLI
  reads — onto the existing per-update usage payload, guarded so a
  raising active_count() leaves the field off without breaking usage.
- ui-tui appChrome: new 'subagents' status segment (breakpoint w>=92,
  slots between bg and cost in the shed-order), renders ⛓ N from
  usage.active_subagents.
- Usage / SessionUsageResponse types gain active_subagents?.

Distinct from the turn-scoped SpawnHud / /agents overlay, which mirror
live in-turn subagent.* events; this is the persistent registry count.
