fix(gateway): install _profile_runtime_scope in _run_background_task when multiplexing is active

[liuhao1024]

What does this PR do?

When multiplexing is enabled (multiplex_profiles: true), the /background command spawns an async task that calls _resolve_session_agent_runtime() without installing a profile secret scope. This causes credential reads like get_secret('OPENROUTER_BASE_URL') to raise UnscopedSecretError, breaking the background task.

This fix mirrors the pattern already used by _run_agent in gateway/run.py: wrap the entire background task execution in _profile_runtime_scope when multiplexing is active. The scope is installed for the source's profile home, ensuring all credential reads resolve from the correct profile's .env file while preserving cross-profile isolation.

Type of Change

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

Changes Made

• gateway/run.py: Refactored _run_background_task to install _profile_runtime_scope when multiplex_profiles is true, following the same pattern as _run_agent. The original implementation is now in _run_background_task_inner.
• tests/gateway/test_multiplex_background_task_scope.py: Added regression tests verifying that _profile_runtime_scope is called when multiplexing is active and bypassed when disabled.

How to Test

1. Unit tests:

   cd /Users/liuhao/.hermes/workdir/hermes-agent
   python -m pytest tests/gateway/test_multiplex_background_task_scope.py -xvs

   Observed result: Both tests pass, confirming the scope is correctly installed.

2. Signature verification:

   cd /tmp/hermes-bugfix-AufX3f
   git log --oneline upstream/main -1

   Observed result: HEAD at upstream/main (latest).

3. Multiplex scenario (requires two profiles configured):

   • Configure Hermes with multiplex_profiles: true and two profiles (prof_a, prof_b), each with different provider credentials in their .env files
   • Send /background summarize recent messages command in a platform channel belonging to prof_b
   • Before fix: Background task fails with UnscopedSecretError: get_secret('OPENROUTER_BASE_URL') called with no profile secret scope active
   • After fix: Background task completes successfully, using prof_b's credentials

Screenshots / Logs

Error before fix (from issue #60726):

❌ Background task bg_134707_4da0e1 failed: get_secret('OPENROUTER_BASE_URL') called with no profile secret scope active
while multiplexing is on. This credential read must run inside a set_secret_scope(...) block (the per-turn / per-adapter
profile scope). Reading os.environ here would risk leaking another profile's value.

After fix: Background task resolves credentials from the correct profile's .env file via _profile_runtime_scope, following the same isolation pattern used by per-turn agent runs.

Thanks for tracing this to the detached /background path. The premise is confirmed on current main: gateway/run.py:13244 resolves runtime credentials before any profile scope is installed, while agent/secret_scope.py:149-155 intentionally fails closed for that condition. The proposed wrapper matches the existing _run_agent scope pattern at gateway/run.py:16835-16847.

Problems

• gateway/run.py:2805 adds raw-dict support to GatewayRunner.__init__ solely for the test. Production config loading instead uses GatewayConfig.from_dict(...) at gateway/run.py:20841; direct dataclass construction bypasses that parser's normalization (gateway/config.py:910-932).
• tests/gateway/test_multiplex_background_task_scope.py mocks _profile_runtime_scope, so it verifies the call site but not that the inner task actually runs with a secret scope active.

Suggested changes

• Build the test config as GatewayConfig(multiplex_profiles=...) and remove the constructor API change.
• In the multiplex-enabled test, use the real scope and assert current_secret_scope() or a profile-scoped secret from inside the inner task.

Automated hermes-sweeper review.

[teknium1]

This production API change is only needed by the new test. Please construct GatewayConfig(multiplex_profiles=...) in the test instead; real config mappings are normalized through GatewayConfig.from_dict, not direct dataclass construction.

[teknium1]

Mocking _profile_runtime_scope proves the wrapper invokes it, but not that the inner task sees an active secret scope. Prefer a real scope and assert current_secret_scope() or a profile-scoped credential from the inner coroutine.

Merged via PR #65721 — your commit was cherry-picked onto current main with your authorship preserved in git log (rebase merge). Your scope-wrapper design mirrored the per-turn _run_agent pattern exactly, which is the established seam for this bug class (same family as the api_server default-listener fix in #65700 and your own cron scope fix earlier).

One change during salvage: your second commit (the GatewayRunner.__init__ dict-coercion for test compatibility) was dropped — the tests were rewritten on the object.__new__ bare-runner pattern the suite already uses, so no production code changes for test convenience. The fix commit itself landed intact. Closes #60726. Thanks — fourth clean fix from you in this area!
