Summary

Addresses community request (Danny) for component-separated, filterable logging. Currently all three log files (agent.log, gateway.log, errors.log) receive identical records from the root logger — they're the same logs at different verbosity levels, not logs from different components.

Phase 1 — Gateway log isolation

  • gateway.log now only receives records from gateway.* loggers (platform adapters, session management, slash commands, delivery)
  • agent.log remains the catch-all (everything goes there for correlation)
  • errors.log remains WARNING+ catch-all
  • Moved gateway.log handler creation from gateway/run.py into hermes_logging.setup_logging(mode='gateway') with a _ComponentFilter

Phase 2 — Session ID injection

  • Added set_session_context(session_id) / clear_session_context() API using threading.local() for per-thread session tracking
  • _SessionFilter enriches every log record with a session_tag attribute
  • Log format goes from: 2026-04-11 10:23:45 INFO gateway.run: msg
  • To: 2026-04-11 10:23:45 INFO [session_id] gateway.run: msg (when session context is set)
  • Session context set at start of run_conversation() in run_agent.py
  • Thread-isolated: gateway conversations on different threads don't leak session IDs

Phase 3 — Component filtering in hermes logs

  • Added --component flag: hermes logs --component gateway|agent|tools|cli|cron
  • COMPONENT_PREFIXES maps component names to logger name prefixes
  • Works with all existing filters (--level, --session, --since, -f)
  • Logger name extraction handles both old and new log formats

Key design decisions

  • Zero changes to existing logger names__name__ already provides the right hierarchy (gateway.run, tools.terminal_tool, agent.context_compressor, etc.)
  • Filter on handlers, not root logger — Python logger filters skip propagated records from child loggers, so _SessionFilter is attached per-handler
  • Backward compatibleagent.log format is identical for lines without session context; HUDs/parsers reading agent.log won't break

Test plan

  • 45 tests in tests/test_hermes_logging.py (component filtering, session context, gateway mode, idempotency)
  • 37 tests in tests/hermes_cli/test_logs.py (logger name extraction, component matching, combined filters)
  • All pre-existing gateway tests pass (25 pre-existing failures on main, none new)

Phase 1 — Gateway log isolation:
- gateway.log now only receives records from gateway.* loggers
  (platform adapters, session management, slash commands, delivery)
- agent.log remains the catch-all (all components)
- errors.log remains WARNING+ catch-all
- Moved gateway.log handler creation from gateway/run.py into
  hermes_logging.setup_logging(mode='gateway') with _ComponentFilter

Phase 2 — Session ID injection:
- Added set_session_context(session_id) / clear_session_context() API
  using threading.local() for per-thread session tracking
- _SessionFilter enriches every log record with session_tag attribute
- Log format: '2026-04-11 10:23:45 INFO [session_id] logger.name: msg'
- Session context set at start of run_conversation() in run_agent.py
- Thread-isolated: gateway conversations on different threads don't leak

Phase 3 — Component filtering in hermes logs:
- Added --component flag: hermes logs --component gateway|agent|tools|cli|cron
- COMPONENT_PREFIXES maps component names to logger name prefixes
- Works with all existing filters (--level, --session, --since, -f)
- Logger name extraction handles both old and new log formats

Files changed:
- hermes_logging.py: _SessionFilter, _ComponentFilter, COMPONENT_PREFIXES,
  set/clear_session_context(), gateway.log creation in setup_logging()
- gateway/run.py: removed redundant gateway.log handler (now in hermes_logging)
- run_agent.py: set_session_context() at start of run_conversation()
- hermes_cli/logs.py: --component filter, logger name extraction
- hermes_cli/main.py: --component argument on logs subparser

Addresses community request for component-separated, filterable logging.
Zero changes to existing logger names — __name__ already provides hierarchy.
The _SessionFilter approach required attaching a filter to every handler
we create. Any handler created outside our _add_rotating_handler (like
the gateway stderr handler, or third-party handlers) would crash with
KeyError: 'session_tag' if it used our format string.

Replace with logging.setLogRecordFactory() which injects session_tag
into every LogRecord at creation time — process-global, zero per-handler
wiring needed. The factory is installed at import time (before
setup_logging) so session_tag is available from the moment hermes_logging
is imported.

- Idempotent: marker attribute prevents double-wrapping on module reload
- Chains with existing factory: won't break third-party record factories
- Removes _SessionFilter from _add_rotating_handler and setup_verbose_logging
- Adds tests: record factory injection, idempotency, arbitrary handler compat

The import was removed by the component-separated logging refactor (NousResearch#7991),
but the stderr handler block added in bacc86d still references it.
Add the lazy import back at the point of use.

Fixes NousResearch#8090
