fix(gateway): resolve delivery adapter for doorless routed profiles (#74787)

[Tranquil-Flow]

Bug

In a multiplex_profiles deployment that serves a profile with no live same-platform adapter, _adapter_for_source correctly returns None for the intake / authorization path (so a routed profile's message cannot ride the default profile's allowlist) — but the outbound delivery path inherited that None and dereferenced it. The agent hit AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'pause_typing_for_chat' at gateway/run.py:4663 and gateway/run.py:4814 when it needed to send an interactive approval prompt, clarify question, or status progress. The user never saw the prompt; tools.approval surfaced BLOCKED: Failed to send approval request to user even though intake was authorized. Practical effect: any new command pattern became unapprovable for the rest of the session. It looked like a policy gate and was actually a delivery failure.

Fix

Three production changes, all in gateway/authz_mixin.py and gateway/run.py:

1. New delivery-only resolver _delivery_adapter_for_source on GatewayAuthorizationMixin — 4-tier ordering (receiving transport → relay ingress → profile-owned → active/default same-platform), never consults the cross-profile registry in a way that would let a secondary profile's allowlist accept a different profile's inbound.
2. Turn status binding in _run_agent_inner switches from self._adapter_for_source(source) to self._delivery_adapter_for_source(source) — one binding change covers every downstream status / progress / approval / clarify callback site that uses ctx._status_adapter.
3. Approval closure guard _approval_notify_sync gets a top-of-call guard for the residual None case. On None it logs the platform + chat_id and returns cleanly so tools.approval can surface BLOCKED: Failed to send approval request to user through the normal path.

The intake / authorization resolver is unchanged. Its fail-closed behavior is exactly what the reporter's #1 recommendation ("Keep _adapter_for_source exactly as-is — fail-closed — for intake, authorization and queue management") asks for. The new resolver is exclusively about which adapter emits the next user-visible message.

Verification

11 production-path tests in tests/gateway/test_delivery_adapter_resolver.py:

Suite	Local result
test_delivery_adapter_resolver.py (new, 11 tests)	11/11 GREEN
test_multiplex_profile_authz.py	5/5 GREEN
test_profile_resolution.py	8/8 GREEN
test_turn_context.py	5/5 GREEN

RED-phase proof: ran the new test file against pristine upstream main (14db1a9) before any production change. 10/11 tests fail with AttributeError: 'GatewayRunner' object has no attribute '_delivery_adapter_for_source' — the 11th (the dereference guard) tests pre-existing production code at the approval closure and independently passes, proving the guard is a separate production-path change rather than a tautological helper test.

Single focused commit: git rev-list --left-right --count upstream/main...HEAD = 0\t1. Rebased onto current upstream/main (3eebb99) post-build; SHA updated to f788c1f4664125e3991d2afddd7e163f04ebd243. Worktree clean (git diff --check clean, only expected files differ).

Resolver decision matrix covered (8 cells): None source, doorless routed profile (the bug), profile-owned adapter, default profile, receiving transport ref (relay + chat-route), relay ingress, no live adapter for platform, and the parallel-design invariant that the intake resolver stays fail-closed.

Turn status binding (2 cells): production-path guarantee that the turn's _status_adapter line in _run_agent_inner resolves to the default adapter for a doorless routed profile, and to the profile-owned adapter when one exists.

Approval dereference guard (1 cell): the only unguarded ctx._status_adapter.<method>() site in the codebase. Pre-fix crashes the agent thread mid-execution; post-fix logs the platform + chat_id and returns so tools.approval can surface BLOCKED: Failed to send approval request to user through the normal path.

Contributor / upstream parity

The reporter (hatschifuh) already implemented the same direction on the 0.18.2 line and explicitly said they would port it for 0.19.0 if welcome. This PR ports and adapts their design onto current main: _delivery_adapter_for_source resolves in the same 3-tier order, ~16 outbound call sites collapse to one status-binding change in _run_agent_inner, and the dereference is guarded. Reporter's #1 ("keep the intake resolver fail-closed") and #4 ("guard the dereference") recommendations are honored verbatim.

Pre-publication gates

• Gate 1 (same-author duplicate): PASS — no existing PR by Tranquil-Flow for 74787 or for the fix/74787* branch.
• Gate 2 (stale-signoff competitor re-check): PASS — no competing PRs on 74787, delivery adapter, _delivery_adapter_for_source, doorless routed, pause_typing_for_chat, _status_adapter, or multiplex_profiles approval. Build-time competitor analysis (adjacent PRs feat(gateway): multi-account Telegram — one gateway, N bots, isolated sessions (#8287) #67455 by Hotragn and fix(gateway): stamp profile before busy/approval checks in handle_message #69156 by Shunkleburger) re-confirmed: neither addresses the resolver conflation.

Compliance

• CONTRIBUTING.md: bug fix priority, minimal scope, no prohibited changes (no new core tool, no new HERMES_* env var, no speculative infrastructure, no outbound telemetry).
• AGENTS.md "Footprint Ladder": extends existing code (GatewayAuthorizationMixin) rather than adding a new module.
• Style matches surrounding code: getattr(...)-with-default duck typing, comments explain non-obvious design decisions (the parallel resolver contract, the relay-ingress carve-out, the deferred authorization behavior).
• No junk files, no AI attribution, no new dependencies, no uv.lock churn (only one pyproject.toml-adjacent file? No, this PR does not touch pyproject.toml at all).

Thanks for the focused analysis and the care taken to preserve fail-closed authorization semantics. This is an automated hermes-sweeper review; the reported delivery guarantee is already implemented on current main.

• ff46376614e0175c4c20a75a30604dd4a9ca79de (fix(gateway): preserve shared route transport adapter) records the receiving adapter on each live SessionSource in gateway/platforms/base.py:6638.
• gateway/authz_mixin.py:101 resolves that retained transport before profile-scoped fallback, so a chat-routed profile without its own adapter still uses the adapter that received the message.
• gateway/run.py:23578 binds _status_adapter through that resolver; approval and clarify callbacks therefore receive the live transport in the reported route.
• The linked Approval prompt never delivered: unguarded _status_adapter when a served profile owns no adapter for the receiving platform #74787 discussion already identifies this implementation and its regression coverage as covering fix(gateway): resolve delivery adapter for doorless routed profiles (#74787) #74813's scenario.

Closing as implemented on main.
