Summary

Second consolidated multiplex salvage wave: a misconfigured secondary profile no longer takes down the whole gateway, the dashboard refuses to write that misconfiguration in the first place, and the model picker, /profile, Feishu websocket mode, secondary-adapter auth callbacks, and default-listener api_server requests all resolve the correct profile. Closes #52796, closes #62791, closes #52563, closes #61276.

Cherry-picks/rebuilds from six contributors (authorship preserved, rebase merge) plus integration commits.

… profiles

The Channels API (PUT /api/messaging/platforms/{id}) accepted and persisted
enabling a port-binding platform on a secondary profile while
gateway.multiplex_profiles is on — a config the gateway only rejects on its
next start, aborting startup with MultiplexConfigError for every multiplexed
profile.

Validate before any .env/config.yaml write and return 409 for the enable
attempt. Disabling and clearing env stay allowed so an already-invalid
profile can be repaired. The port-binding platform set moves to
gateway/config.py (PORT_BINDING_PLATFORM_VALUES) as the single source of
truth shared by gateway startup validation and the dashboard, so the two
policies cannot drift. Platform config mutations now get a names-only audit
log line.

Fixes #62791
The #62803 branch predates PR #64636's Telegram token-shape validation
on the messaging platform PUT endpoint; align the new guard test's
fixture with the validated format.
…e multiplexer's

On a multiplexed gateway the process-level active profile is always the
multiplexer's own (usually "default"), so /profile answered "default" in
every chat regardless of which profile actually served it — making
per-chat persona routing look broken when it was working.

Report source.profile (stamped by the /p/<profile>/ URL prefix, a
per-credential adapter, or a room->profile map) and resolve the
displayed home under that profile's runtime scope, mirroring the scoped
/reset banner (#59003). Unstamped sources fall back to the active
profile and default home, so single-profile gateways are unchanged.

Review follow-up: honor source.profile and enter _profile_runtime_scope
only when gateway.multiplex_profiles is on, mirroring the gating in
_run_agent, _reset_notice_session_info, and _resolve_profile_for_key.
When multiplexing is off (the default) a stamped source is ignored and
/profile reports the active profile and default home, byte-identical to
before this PR.

The stamped-source test now enables multiplexing (it previously
exercised the ungated path under the default config), and a new
regression asserts the stamp is ignored when multiplexing is off.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Feishu was unconditionally listed in _PORT_BINDING_PLATFORM_VALUES,
causing the multiplexer to reject ALL Feishu secondary profiles. But
Feishu in websocket mode (the default) uses an outbound WebSocket
connection and does NOT bind an HTTP port — only webhook/callback mode
needs a listener.

Add _platform_binds_port() helper that checks connection-dependent
platforms (currently only Feishu) against their actual config before
raising MultiplexConfigError. Feishu websocket profiles are now allowed;
Feishu webhook profiles still raise as before.

Fixes #52563
…tegration

With the mode-conditional check centralized, default (websocket) Feishu
no longer counts as port-binding in the secondary batch report — pin the
fixture to connection_mode=webhook so the test still exercises the
multi-platform report path.
Subset of PR #61985: _make_adapter_auth_check gains a profile_name
parameter and secondary-profile adapters (started in
_start_one_profile_adapters) bind it, so the auth callback's
SessionSource resolves the routed profile's adapter and pairing store
instead of silently falling back to the default profile. This is the
gap left open by the #65629 merge — adapter-internal auth checks (e.g.
Slack thread-context fetch) fire outside the wrapped message handler.

The PR's authz_mixin.py hunks are dropped: main's _auth_env (merged via
PR #65629) already covers the scoped allowlist reads they targeted.
Rebuilt from PR #61283 onto the /p/<profile>/ routing world (7aa21e3):
_profile_scope(None) now enters the DEFAULT profile's runtime scope when
multiplexing is active instead of returning nullcontext(). api_server is
a port-binding platform living on the default profile, so plain requests
(no /p/ prefix) are the primary path — with fail-closed get_secret they
crashed with UnscopedSecretError on the first credential read (#61276).

All three wrapped call sites (chat-completions executor, /v1/runs agent
construction and _run_sync) inherit the fix through the one seam.
Single-profile gateways keep the no-op. Regression tests ported from
the original PR to the _profile_scope seam.

Verdict: Comment

Overview

  • Large multiplex wave 2 fix: port-binding degradation, dashboard guard, scoped picker/profile/api_server
  • 1000 additions, 88 deletions
  • Part of a 7-PR cluster salvage

Assessment

  • Well-scoped fix addressing multiple related issues
  • get_secret fail-closed behavior for unscoped agents is a security improvement
  • The multiplex secret scope change is the core fix — ensures credentials don't leak across agent instances
  • Dashboard guard adds protection against undefined profile states

Suggestion

  • Given the scope (7-PR cluster salvage), recommend human reviewer verify integration across the full cluster

### [`v2026.7.20`](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/releases/tag/v2026.7.20): Hermes Agent v0.19.0 (2026.7.20) — The Quicksilver Release

[Compare Source](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/compare/v2026.7.7...v2026.7.20)

##### Hermes Agent v0.19.0 (v2026.7.20)

**Release Date:** July 20, 2026
**Since v0.18.0:** \~2,245 commits · \~1,065 merged PRs · \~2,465 files changed · \~300,000 insertions · \~36,000 deletions · **\~3,300 issues closed** · **450+ community contributors**

> **The Quicksilver Release.** Hermes is the messenger god, and this window we made him move like it. First-turn time-to-first-token dropped **\~80% on every platform**, reasoning streams live by default, the desktop app got a \~20-PR speed overhaul (14× faster streaming markdown, virtualized diffs, snappy session switching), and the TUI renders markdown incrementally. Around that speed spine: you can now **manage your Nous subscription without leaving the terminal**, plug **Bitwarden and 1Password** straight into Hermes, let **smart approvals** judge flagged commands for you by default, **watch your subagents work live**, and trust that a finished response **survives a gateway crash** thanks to a durable delivery ledger. This release also rolls up everything from the v0.18.1 and v0.18.2 infrastructure patch tags — those windows are fully documented here.

***

##### ✨ Highlights

- **Hermes got dramatically faster — first token in a fraction of the time** — Cold-start "Initializing agent..." used to eat \~4.3 seconds before your first turn even reached the model; it's now \~0.9s, an \~80% cut that applies to the CLI, gateway, TUI, desktop, and cron alike. Round 2 attacked what you *see* while waiting: reasoning models now stream their thinking live by default (no more staring at a spinner for 30 seconds), and the response box paints per token instead of per line. If Hermes ever felt like it took a deep breath before answering, that breath is gone. ([#&#8203;59332](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/59332), [#&#8203;59389](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/59389) — [@&#8203;teknium1](https://github.com/teknium1))

- **The desktop app speed wave — 20+ targeted perf PRs** — Long replies used to cost 14× more CPU in the markdown splitter than they do now; giant diffs froze the review pane until we virtualized it; switching sessions thrashes layout no more. Streaming no longer re-renders the sidebar and every tool row per token, profile backends pre-warm on hover intent, and boot-hidden panes mount at idle instead of on the cold-start critical path. The net effect: the desktop app feels like a native app under load, even with huge transcripts and busy agents. ([#&#8203;67154](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/67154), [#&#8203;67818](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/67818), [#&#8203;65898](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/65898), [#&#8203;66033](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/66033), [#&#8203;66747](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/66747), [#&#8203;67742](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/67742) and more — [@&#8203;OutThisLife](https://github.com/OutThisLife))

- **Manage your Nous plan from the terminal — `/subscription` and `/topup`** — Changing your subscription used to mean a trip to the billing website. Now `/subscription` opens a full flow right in the TUI or classic CLI: see your plan and remaining allowance, preview exactly what an upgrade costs ("Pay $46.30 & upgrade now") or when a downgrade takes effect, and apply it — with scheduled-change banners and undo. The desktop app got a matching billing settings tab. Your wallet never has to leave the keyboard. ([#&#8203;51639](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/51639), [#&#8203;61054](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/61054), [#&#8203;61067](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/61067) — [@&#8203;alt-glitch](https://github.com/alt-glitch))

- **Smart approvals are now the default** — When Hermes wants to run a flagged command, an LLM reviewer now assesses it independently instead of asking you to approve every single one — and each verdict covers only that exact command, so a later command matching the same pattern gets its own review. Combined with the new **user-defined deny rules** (which block commands even under yolo mode) and `/deny <reason>` (which tells the agent *why* you refused so it course-corrects), day-to-day approval fatigue drops sharply without giving up control. ([#&#8203;62661](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/62661), [#&#8203;59164](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/59164), [#&#8203;54518](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/54518) — [@&#8203;teknium1](https://github.com/teknium1))

- **Plug your password manager into Hermes — Bitwarden & 1Password secret sources** — API keys no longer have to live in a plaintext `.env`. A new pluggable `SecretSource` interface lets Hermes fetch secrets from Bitwarden and 1Password (`op://` references) at load time, with multiple vaults enabled simultaneously, deterministic precedence, conflict warnings, and per-variable provenance. This consolidated eleven competing community PRs into one orchestrated interface — future vault providers drop in as plugins. ([#&#8203;59498](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/59498) — [@&#8203;teknium1](https://github.com/teknium1), 1Password provider salvaged from [@&#8203;hwrdprkns](https://github.com/hwrdprkns))

- **Watch your subagents work — live transcripts + durable background delegation** — `delegate_task` dispatches now return live transcript files you can `tail -f` the moment the subagents launch: every tool call, result, and streamed reply, one human-readable log per child. And background delegation completions are now **durable** — if the process restarts mid-run, results are restored and delivered through an ownership-checked ledger instead of vanishing. Fan out a fleet, watch any worker live, and never lose the results. ([#&#8203;67479](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/67479), [#&#8203;63494](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/63494) — [@&#8203;teknium1](https://github.com/teknium1))

- **A finished answer can no longer be lost — the delivery-obligation ledger** — If the gateway died between generating your response and confirming the platform actually delivered it, that answer used to be silently gone (and you'd paid for the turn). Final responses are now recorded in a durable ledger in `state.db` around the platform send and **redelivered on the next boot** — closing a P1 silent-loss window for Telegram, Discord, Slack, and every other channel. ([#&#8203;67181](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/67181) — [@&#8203;teknium1](https://github.com/teknium1))

- **One gateway, many profiles — profile-based message routing** — A single multiplexed gateway sharing one bot token can now route specific guilds, channels, or threads to different profiles — each with fully isolated config, skills, memory, and secrets. Point your work Discord server at the `work` profile and your hobby server at `personal`, from one bot. A second multiplex hardening wave means one misconfigured profile can no longer take down the whole gateway.

- **Crank the thinking to max — new reasoning effort tiers and per-model control** — Reasoning effort gained `max` and `ultra` levels (GPT-5.6 and Codex's top tiers), selectable everywhere from the CLI to the desktop, with sane clamping on providers with smaller scales. You can now also pin **per-model reasoning-effort overrides** in config, set **per-slot effort in MoA presets** (your advisors think hard, your synthesizer stays fast), and per-task effort for auxiliary models. Thinking depth is now a dial, not a global switch. ([#&#8203;62650](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/62650), [#&#8203;64458](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/64458), [#&#8203;64631](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/64631), [#&#8203;64597](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/64597) — [@&#8203;teknium1](https://github.com/teknium1))

- **Your sessions, your data — export everything** — `hermes sessions export` now writes Markdown, Quarto, HTML, prompt-only, and even Hugging Face-ready trace formats, with the full filter surface (age, workspace, platform), an opt-in `--redact` secret-scrubbing pass, and compacted-session lineage stitched into one logical export. Pair with the new prune filters and bulk archive to keep your session store tidy. Your conversation history is a real dataset now, not a black box.

- **Security hardening round** — This window closed a long list of credential-surface gaps: Vertex credentials scoped away from subprocess env and through profile secret scopes, media/vision/image-gen local-file reads routed through one shared credential-read guard, a webhook body-size-cap sweep across every aiohttp server, bot-token redaction in Telegram transport errors, Fireworks token prefixes added to the redactor, six P1 browser/MEDIA/.env hardening PRs salvaged in one pass, and CI hardened against untrusted-ref interpolation.

… multiplex_profiles

Replace raw os.getenv("TELEGRAM_ALLOWED_USERS") reads in the Telegram
adapter's pre-filter with gateway.authz_mixin._auth_env so the served
profile's .env is consulted when its secret scope is installed. This
mirrors the gateway-layer fix in PRs NousResearch#61985/NousResearch#65629/NousResearch#65700 down to the
adapter pre-filter, fixing the Telegram mirror of issue NousResearch#72348.

See README.md for details, scope notes, and end-to-end test evidence.

Fixes NousResearch#72348 (Telegram mirror)
