Extends the previous commit to cover the remaining additive-column index
that sits on the same migration trap:

- ``task_events.run_id`` -> ``idx_events_run`` was still in SCHEMA_SQL.
  A legacy ``task_events`` table predating NousResearch#17805 (no ``run_id``) would
  still abort ``executescript`` before ``_migrate_add_optional_columns``
  could add the column. Hoisted out of SCHEMA_SQL and made unconditional
  in the migration alongside the other three indexes.

- Removed the now-redundant ``CREATE INDEX idx_tasks_idempotency`` that
  was nested inside the ``if "idempotency_key" not in cols`` branch.
  The unconditional create lower in the function makes it idempotent
  on both fresh and legacy DBs.

- Strengthened the regression test to cover all four indexes
  (``idx_tasks_session_id``, ``idx_tasks_tenant``, ``idx_tasks_idempotency``,
  ``idx_events_run``) and to seed a pre-NousResearch#17805 ``task_events`` shape that
  exercises the ``run_id`` migration path.

The result: every ``CREATE INDEX`` that depends on an additive column now
runs after the migration ensures the column exists. Verified against a
realistic pre-NousResearch#16081 board fixture (tasks + task_events both legacy
shape) — origin/main reproduces ``no such column: session_id``; this
branch migrates cleanly and creates all four indexes.
When discord.py is not installed at import time, DISCORD_AVAILABLE=False
and the view class definitions at module bottom are skipped.
check_discord_requirements() performs a lazy install and sets
DISCORD_AVAILABLE=True but never re-ran the class definitions, causing
NameError on the first button interaction (exec approval, slash confirm, etc.).

Extract the five ui.View subclasses into _define_discord_view_classes() and
call it both at module load (when discord.py is pre-installed) and inside
check_discord_requirements() after a successful lazy install.

* fix(update): detect concurrent hermes.exe on Windows; retry + restart-defer quarantine

Closes NousResearch#26670.

When 'hermes update' runs on Windows with another hermes.exe alive (most
commonly the Hermes Desktop Electron app's spawned backend) _quarantine_running_hermes_exe()
fails to rename the venv shim with [WinError 32]. uv pip install -e .
then exits 2, the git-pull fast path is silently abandoned, and the ZIP
fallback runs (and fails the same way) before eventually succeeding.

This change implements three of the five proposed fixes from the issue:

1. Concurrent-instance detection (preferred fix). _detect_concurrent_hermes_instances()
   uses psutil to enumerate processes whose .exe is one of our venv shims
   (hermes.exe / hermes-gateway.exe), excluding the caller's PID. When any
   match exists, cmd_update prints an actionable message naming the
   blocking PIDs and exits 2 BEFORE any destructive work. New --force flag
   bypasses the gate.

2. Retry + restart-deferred fallback. _quarantine_running_hermes_exe()
   now retries the rename up to 4 times with 100/250/500/1000 ms backoff
   (covers the transient AV-scanner-handle case). If all retries fail,
   it schedules the replacement via MoveFileExW with the OS deferred-rename
   flag so the new shim can land at the original path and the update
   completes; the old image is fully unloaded after the user's next
   system restart.

3. Actionable warning text. The old 'Could not quarantine: [WinError 32]'
   warning is replaced with one that names the likely culprits (Hermes
   Desktop, REPLs, gateway, AV) and points to the new --force flag.

Tests:
- 13 new tests in tests/hermes_cli/test_update_concurrent_quarantine.py
  covering: psutil-based enumeration, self-pid exclusion, case-insensitive
  matching of .EXE, no-psutil graceful degradation, off-Windows no-op,
  helpful warning formatting, retry-then-succeed, restart-deferred fallback,
  cmd_update abort + exit code 2, and --force bypass.
- New autouse fixture in tests/hermes_cli/conftest.py defaults
  _detect_concurrent_hermes_instances to [] so the rest of the suite
  isn't tripped by the developer's own running hermes.exe. Opt-out marker
  'real_concurrent_gate' registered in pyproject.toml.
- Updating docs page (website/docs/getting-started/updating.md) gains a
  short section explaining the new Windows error and remediation.

* chore: refresh uv.lock to match pyproject.toml exact pins

aiohttp 3.13.4 -> 3.13.3 (matches pyproject pin: aiohttp==3.13.3)
anthropic 0.87.0 -> 0.86.0 (matches pyproject pin: anthropic==0.86.0)
hermes-agent 0.13.0 -> 0.14.0 (matches pyproject version)

CI's uv lock --check was failing on the merged state because main
drifted: pyproject.toml uses exact == pins for those two deps and the
hermes-agent version was bumped to 0.14.0 but the lockfile still had
0.13.0.
Apply CREATE_NO_WINDOW flags when the cron scheduler launches job scripts on Windows so gateway-managed no-agent cron jobs do not flash cmd or python console windows every tick.
Apply Windows CREATE_NO_WINDOW flags to foreground local terminal subprocesses and tracked background processes so Hermes operations do not flash or steal focus with extra console windows.
Preserve Windows profile install decisions across UAC handoff, avoid visible console windows by launching via pythonw, make repeated install/start idempotent, recreate stale Scheduled Tasks, and separate start-now from login auto-start behavior. Add Windows gateway regression coverage and systemd setup tests for the shared install flow.
…-Windows

Linux/macOS CI runners don't have ctypes.windll, so the elevated-gateway
test fails at module load. Adding raising=False lets monkeypatch install
the mock attribute without first requiring it to exist.
Introduces make_tool_result_message() in tool_dispatch_helpers.py as the
single place where tool-result message dicts are built. All six construction
sites in tool_executor.py, agent_runtime_helpers.py, and mini_swe_runner.py
now use it, so tool_name is set in memory from the moment a message is
created rather than relying on fallback logic in the flush paths.

Fixes blank tool_name in both state.db and JSON session logs.

Adds tests.
Adds a Termux runtime detection helper and gates three TUI defaults on it:

- Skip the startup scrollback clear on Termux so users can review/copy
  earlier output after reopening the app. Desktop keeps the existing
  \x1b[2J\x1b[H\x1b[3J slate (AlternateScreen takes over there anyway).
- Default INLINE_MODE on under Termux: primary-buffer rendering makes
  long-thread review and copy/paste much less fragile when users
  background/foreground the app. Override with HERMES_TUI_INLINE=0/1.
- Default mouse tracking off under Termux so touch selection isn't
  intercepted by terminal mouse protocols. Explicit override via
  HERMES_TUI_MOUSE_TRACKING=0/1; legacy HERMES_TUI_DISABLE_MOUSE still
  works on desktop.

Detection is purely env-based (TERMUX_VERSION or PREFIX path) with an
explicit opt-out HERMES_TUI_TERMUX_MODE=0 for debugging. Non-Termux
platforms keep every existing default.

fix blank tool_name entries in state.db and JSON session logs
Adds BrowseShSource — a new skill source adapter that integrates
Browserbase's browse.sh catalog (169+ site-specific SKILL.md files)
into the Hermes Skills Hub.

- BrowseShSource class in tools/skills_hub.py implementing SkillSource ABC
- Fetches browse.sh catalog API with 1h TTL cache
- Full-text search across name, title, description, hostname, category, tags
- fetch() downloads SKILL.md via sourceUrl (GitHub HTML -> raw URL conversion)
- Registered in create_source_router() after LobeHubSource
- Tests in tests/tools/test_skills_hub_browse_sh.py (7 tests, all passing)
- Add 'browse-sh' to _PER_SOURCE_LIMIT in both do_browse() and
  browse_skills() with limit=500 (covers full 171-skill catalog)
- Add 'browse-sh' to --source argparse choices for both
  'hermes skills browse' and 'hermes skills search'

Without these, browse-sh fell back to the default cap of 50 results
and was not filterable via --source.
The catalog's sourceUrl points at github.com/browserbase/browse.sh,
whose underlying repository is not always public — most raw URLs derived
from it 404. Use the per-skill detail endpoint instead, which returns a
skillMdUrl CDN blob that reliably resolves to the SKILL.md text. Fall
back to a raw.githubusercontent.com sourceUrl if the detail call fails.

- tools/skills_hub.py: rewrite BrowseShSource.fetch() to resolve via
  /api/skills/{slug} -> skillMdUrl; drop the unreachable _to_raw_url
  helper; expose the resolved URL in bundle.metadata.skill_md_url.
- tests/tools/test_skills_hub_browse_sh.py: match the real catalog
  shape (name = task name, slug = host/task-id), exercise the
  detail-endpoint -> blob two-call flow, and add a fallback test.
- scripts/release.py: map kylejeong21@gmail.com -> Kylejeong2.
Add browse.sh (browse-sh) to the supported-sources table and
integrated-hubs section in user-guide/features/skills.md, and to the
--source notes in reference/cli-commands.md. Companion to the
BrowseShSource adapter merged in NousResearch#28936.

…for base_url trust (NousResearch#27132)

When config.yaml has provider: ollama (or vllm/llamacpp/llama-cpp) with a
non-loopback base_url, auth.py's resolve_provider() correctly normalises
the alias to 'custom' at the top level, but two sites in runtime_provider.py
were still comparing the *original* string against the literal 'custom':

  - _config_base_url_trustworthy_for_bare_custom() rejected non-loopback
    URLs because cfg_provider_norm was 'ollama', not 'custom'.
  - _resolve_openrouter_runtime() only entered the trust branch when
    requested_norm == 'custom'.

Both sites now consult resolve_provider() and treat any alias that
resolves to 'custom' identically. Result: provider: ollama + LAN IP no
longer silently falls through to OpenRouter (HTTP 401), matching the
behaviour of provider: custom with the same base_url.

E2E verified across 6 cases (ollama/vllm/llamacpp/custom + LAN; ollama +
loopback; openrouter + cloud) — all route to the configured endpoint;
'frobnicate' + LAN still rejects with AuthError as before.

Also adds scripts/release.py AUTHOR_MAP entry for @stepanov1975
(PR NousResearch#22074 — wizard config picker preservation, cherry-picked into the
preceding commit).
…ousResearch#28864)

`cli.py` was eager-importing `openai._base_client` at module-load time
purely to monkeypatch `AsyncHttpxClientWrapper.__del__` (defense against
"Press ENTER to continue..." errors when AsyncOpenAI clients are GC'd
against dead event loops). That import cost ~166ms / ~30MB on every
cold CLI start because openai's type tree (responses/*, graders/*) is huge.

Replace with a `sys.meta_path` finder that intercepts the first import
of `openai._base_client` from anywhere in the codebase, lets the normal
load run, then applies the `__del__ = lambda self: None` patch before
control returns to the caller. Same correctness guarantee (patch
applies before any AsyncOpenAI instance can be constructed), zero cost
until the SDK is actually needed.

Hot path: every hermes chat / gateway boot / cron tick / subagent spawn.

A/B benchmark, 10 runs each, fresh subprocess:
                     BEFORE  AFTER   delta
  import cli wall    0.86s   0.62s   -28% (median)
  import cli wall    0.85s   0.59s   -31% (min)
  import cli RSS     91.2MB  74.0MB  -19% (median)

The `neuter_async_httpx_del` function in agent/auxiliary_client.py is
unchanged; its tests still pass and any future callers can still invoke
it directly.

Verified:
- import cli no longer pulls openai into sys.modules
- first 'from openai._base_client import AsyncHttpxClientWrapper'
  triggers the patch; __del__.__name__ == '<lambda>'
- tests/run_agent/test_async_httpx_del_neuter.py: 9/9 pass
- tests/agent/test_auxiliary_client.py: 159/159 pass
- tests/cli/: 715/715 pass
…rgeted hot-path optimizations (NousResearch#28866)

* perf(config): add load_config_readonly() fast path for hot agent loop

`load_config()` is called from the agent loop's per-API-call hot path via
`get_provider_request_timeout()` and `get_provider_stale_timeout()` —
both invoked once per turn from `_resolved_api_call_timeout()` in
run_agent.py.

Profiling a synthetic 20-tool-call agent run revealed:
- 21 invocations of `load_config()` cumulating 56ms (~17% of agent loop)
- 34,398 deepcopy calls totaling 37ms (config defensive deepcopy + chain)
- 8,652 `_expand_env_vars` invocations (~412 per turn)

Microbench (cache-hit, real config.yaml present):
  load_config()          265us/call  (125us deepcopy + 140us infra)
  load_config_readonly() 138us/call  (~48% faster)

`load_config_readonly()` returns the cached dict directly without the
defensive deepcopy. Documented contract: caller must not mutate. Returns
plain dict (not MappingProxyType) so downstream `isinstance(x, dict)`
guards keep working — caught during initial implementation when
MappingProxyType broke get_provider_request_timeout's guard logic.

Wired into hermes_cli/timeouts.py (the two functions called per agent
turn). load_config() is unchanged for the 263 other call sites that
mutate the result before save_config(), are not in the hot path, or
where the safety guarantee matters more than the perf.

Profile A/B (cached config, 21-turn agent loop):
                                BEFORE  AFTER   delta
  get_provider_request_timeout  55ms    16ms    -71%
  total function calls          399k    160k    -60%
  deepcopy calls (in hotspots)  34,398  ~0      ~elim

Verified:
- isinstance(load_config_readonly(), dict) is True
- timeout/stale resolutions correct
- load_config() still returns isolated mutable deepcopies
- tests/hermes_cli/test_config*.py / test_timeouts.py: 102/102 pass
- tests/cli/ + tests/agent/test_auxiliary_client.py: 883/883 pass

* perf(redact): substring pre-screens skip non-matching regex chains

Every log record passes through `RedactingFormatter.format` which calls
`redact_sensitive_text`, which historically ran ALL 13 secret-pattern
regexes against every line — including DB connection strings, JWTs,
Discord mentions, Signal phone numbers, etc. — even for typical clean
log records like 'INFO run_agent: API call completed'.

Add cheap substring pre-checks before each regex pass. False positives
still run the regex (which then matches nothing); false negatives are
impossible because every pattern requires the gated substring to match
its leading anchor:

- `_PREFIX_RE`        gated on any of 33 known credential prefix substrings
- `_ENV_ASSIGN_RE`    gated on `=` in text
- `_JSON_FIELD_RE`    gated on `:` and `"` in text
- `_AUTH_HEADER_RE`   gated on `uthorization`/`UTHORIZATION` in text
- `_TELEGRAM_RE`      gated on `:` in text
- `_PRIVATE_KEY_RE`   gated on `BEGIN` and `-----`
- `_DB_CONNSTR_RE`    gated on `://` in text
- `_JWT_RE`           gated on `eyJ` in text
- URL userinfo/query  gated on `://`
- `_redact_form_body` gated on `&` and `=`
- `_DISCORD_MENTION_RE` gated on `<@`
- `_SIGNAL_PHONE_RE`  gated on `+`

Microbench (5 typical log records, 20k iterations each):
                              BEFORE  AFTER  delta
  redact_sensitive_text per call  5.63us  1.79us  -68%

Real-world impact: ~244 log records emitted in a 30-turn agent loop, so
the chain saves ~1ms of CPU per conversation. Bigger win is the
reduction in regex execution and GC pressure during heavy logging
sessions (verbose logging, gateway message processing).

Security regression test: 30 secret-containing inputs (sk-/ghp_/JWT/DB
connstr/Auth-Bearer/private key/URL userinfo/Discord/Signal/etc.)
verified to produce identical redacted output before/after. All 75
existing tests/agent/test_redact.py cases pass.

The `?access_token=foo&code=bar` (bare query string, no scheme) case
that 'leaks' is pre-existing behavior — the URL query redaction
requires a well-formed URL with scheme+host. Not a regression.

* perf(run_agent): cache _needs_thinking_reasoning_pad result per (provider, model, base_url)

Profile of a 31-turn synthetic agent run shows `_needs_thinking_reasoning_pad`
fires 495 times (~16 per turn) and each call ran 3 helper methods, each
hitting `base_url_host_matches` 1-4 times via `urlparse`. Total cost:
3,342 base_url_host_matches calls + 3,373 urlparse calls accounting for
~36ms of agent-loop overhead (~7% of the entire post-network work).

Provider / model / base_url don't change during a conversation except via
`switch_model` and fallback activation — both of which already overwrite
those attributes atomically. Cache the result on a tuple key; since the
key is derived from the very fields that would change, the cache
auto-invalidates on the next read after a switch. No manual invalidation
needed in switch_model / _try_activate_fallback.

Profile A/B (31-turn cached-config agent run):
                                      BEFORE  AFTER  delta
  _needs_thinking_reasoning_pad cum    18ms    1ms    -94%
  _copy_reasoning_content_for_api cum  17ms    1ms    -94%
  base_url_host_matches calls          3,342   372    -89%
  urlparse calls                       3,373   403    -88%
  total function calls                 296k    223k   -25%

…Hub API (NousResearch#28943)

The Windows installer fetched the latest git-for-windows release via
api.github.com/repos/git-for-windows/git/releases/latest, which is
rate-limited to 60 requests/hour/IP for unauthenticated callers. Users
behind CGNAT, corporate NAT, dorm WiFi, or shared ISP routinely hit the
limit, and the installer aborts asking them to install Git manually.

Switch to a pinned release tag (v2.54.0.windows.1) and a static
github.com/.../releases/download/<tag>/<asset> URL. Static download
URLs are served by GitHub's blob storage and are not subject to the
API rate limit.

Trade-offs:
- We have to bump the pin when we want a newer Git for Windows. The
  installer doesn't depend on Git features beyond 'works', so this is
  a once-a-year maintenance cost at most.
- Loses the (cosmetic) MB size display, since we no longer have asset
  metadata. Replaced with the version string in the 'Downloading ...'
  line instead.
…8952)

XAI_BASE_URL / HERMES_XAI_BASE_URL let users repoint the OAuth-authenticated
inference endpoint, but the env override was an unguarded credential-leak
vector: a tampered .env or hostile shell init setting
XAI_BASE_URL=https://attacker.example/v1 would silently ship the SuperGrok
OAuth bearer to a third party on every request.

Add _xai_validate_inference_base_url() that pins the host to x.ai or a
*.x.ai subdomain and rejects non-HTTPS. On rejection, fall back to the
default with a warning rather than raise — a bad env var should not
deadlock auth, but should never leak the bearer either.

Apply at all three sites that read the env override for xai-oauth:
- hermes_cli/auth.py resolve_xai_oauth_runtime_credentials (main path)
- hermes_cli/auth.py _xai_oauth_loopback_login (initial login)
- agent/auxiliary_client.py _resolve_xai_oauth_for_aux (aux client)

E2E validated against four scenarios: attacker.example, lookalike
api.x.ai.evil.com, http:// downgrade on api.x.ai, and legit custom.x.ai
subdomain (which still resolves correctly).

Discovered while comparing against the opencode-grok-auth plugin
(github.com/ysnock404/opencode-grok-auth), which highlighted the same
guard on the OpenCode side.

attachment metadata filename over the CDN URL path basename. Previously
files were cached with meaningless QQ CDN hash names (e.g.
qqdownload_...oadftnv5), causing ugly filenames when sent back to users.

Aligns with qqbot-agent-sdk's AttachmentDownloader.download_document.
_guess_ext_from_data: data[:5] == b"#!SILK" -> data[:6] (6-byte string)
_looks_like_silk: data[:4] == b"#!SILK" -> data[:6]

The previous slices were too short to ever match the 6-byte "#!SILK"
literal, relying entirely on the "#!SILK_V3" (9-byte) and 0x02! (2-byte)
fallback paths for SILK format detection.
…esearch#29507)

The helper used to call ``socket.shutdown(SHUT_RDWR)`` followed by
``socket.close()`` to drop CLOSE-WAIT entries immediately. On its own
``shutdown()`` is safe from any thread — it only sends FIN and breaks
pending ``recv``/``send`` — but ``close()`` releases the FD integer to
the kernel. When the helper runs on a stranger thread (the interrupt
loop, the stale-call detector) the FD release races the owning httpx
worker thread that still has the same integer cached inside the SSL
BIO. The kernel then recycles that integer to the next ``open()`` call
— in production, kanban dispatcher's ``kanban.db`` — and the worker's
delayed TLS flush writes a 24-byte TLS application-data record on top
of the SQLite header.

Restrict the helper to ``shutdown(SHUT_RDWR)`` only. The owning httpx
worker's own unwind will close the underlying socket via the same
Python ``socket.socket`` object, which atomically swaps ``_fd`` to -1
before issuing ``close(2)`` — no FD-aliasing window.

The log field ``tcp_force_closed=N`` is kept (now counts shutdowns) so
existing dashboards / log parsers keep working.
…upt (NousResearch#29507)

Layer-2 defense for the FD-recycling race: even with
``force_close_tcp_sockets`` reduced to shutdown-only, the followup
``client.close()`` in ``_close_openai_client`` still walks the httpx
pool and closes sockets — and if called from a stranger thread (the
interrupt-check loop, the stale-call detector) it has the same
FD-recycling exposure that wrote a TLS record on top of ``kanban.db``.

Stamp the request_client_holder with the owning thread's ident at
``_set_request_client`` time. In ``_close_request_client_once``:

* Owning thread (the worker's ``finally``) → pop + ``client.close()``
  via ``_close_request_openai_client``, exactly as before.
* Stranger thread → ``_abort_request_openai_client`` (new): only
  ``shutdown(SHUT_RDWR)`` the pool sockets and log a deferred-close
  marker. The holder stays populated so the worker's eventual
  ``finally`` performs the real close from its own thread context,
  where the FD release races nothing.

Applied symmetrically to both the non-streaming
``interruptible_api_call`` and the streaming variant — both routinely
get hit by stranger-thread interrupts.

The log field ``tcp_force_closed=N`` keeps its existing shape; the new
abort path adds ``deferred_close=stranger_thread`` so production
triage can distinguish the two close kinds.
…NousResearch#29507)

Ten regressions across both prongs of the NousResearch#29507 fix, organised so each
test names exactly which way the bug could come back:

Prong 1 — ``force_close_tcp_sockets``:
* ``shutdown_only_no_close`` is the smoking-gun assertion. If a future
  refactor adds back ``sock.close()`` to this helper, the FD-recycling
  race that wrote TLS bytes on top of ``kanban.db`` is back, and this
  trips.
* ``uses_shut_rdwr`` pins that both halves are shut down (a half-close
  wouldn't unblock a worker stuck in ``recv``).
* ``swallows_oserror_on_shutdown`` covers the already-shutdown case.
* ``handles_multiple_pool_entries`` walks all pool connections.

Prong 2 — thread-aware ``_close_request_client_once``:
* ``stranger_thread_aborts_only_no_close`` simulates the asyncio_0 →
  Thread-1616 interrupt path: stranger drives abort, holder stays
  populated for the worker's eventual finally.
* ``owner_thread_pops_and_full_close`` is the worker-thread path: pops
  + full close.
* ``stranger_then_owner_close_sequence_runs_full_close_exactly_once``
  replays the reporter's exact timeline at object level: abort runs
  once, full close runs once, holder ends empty.

Agent surface:
* ``_abort_request_openai_client_does_not_call_client_close`` pins
  that the new entrypoint shuts sockets and emits the
  ``deferred_close=stranger_thread`` marker but never calls
  ``client.close()``.
* ``_abort_request_openai_client_null_client_is_noop`` defensive.

End-to-end:
* ``fd_recycle_window_closed_by_shutdown_only`` reproduces the race
  at object level — runs the abort path from a stranger thread and
  asserts that no ``close()`` ever fires, so the kernel can never
  recycle the FD under the owner's still-active reference.

`_deliver_kanban_artifacts` routes candidates through
`BasePlatformAdapter.filter_local_delivery_paths` (added in 41d2c75),
which rejects paths outside `MEDIA_DELIVERY_SAFE_ROOTS`. The two
artifact-delivery tests create fixtures under `tmp_path`, which lives
outside the cache roots — so under CI's hermetic HOME the filter
silently dropped both fake files and the assertions on
`images_uploaded` / `documents_uploaded` failed.

Fix: monkeypatch `HERMES_MEDIA_ALLOW_DIRS=str(tmp_path)` in both tests
so the safety filter accepts the fixtures. Production behaviour
unchanged; test-side fix only.

CI fail repro on origin/main: test (6) shard, both
test_notifier_uploads_artifacts_on_completion and
test_notifier_artifact_delivery_skips_missing_files.
…n skills_guard

- _determine_verdict() returned 'caution' for medium/low-only findings,
  causing community skills with harmless patterns (e.g. path traversal
  notation, unpinned pip install) to be incorrectly blocked. Now returns
  'safe' when only medium/low severity findings are present.

- should_allow_install() allowed --force to override 'dangerous' verdict,
  contradicting documented behavior that --force does NOT override dangerous
  scan results. Added explicit check to prevent force-installing skills
  with dangerous verdict.
Follow-up to @sprmn24's verdict-logic fix. The previous block-message
ended in 'Use --force to override' regardless of verdict — but as of
the --force fix above, dangerous community/trusted skills can't be
overridden by --force at all. The misleading hint sends users in a
loop. Replace it with a specific message that tells them what the
documented behavior actually is.

Adds two regression tests covering the dangerous-verdict message
shape and one that pins the existing --force hint for non-dangerous
blocks.

* feat(portal): one-shot setup, status CLI, and Nous-included markers

Four small Portal-aware surfaces that drive subscription value without
adding friction for non-Portal users.

  - hermes setup --portal: one-shot Nous OAuth + provider switch + Tool
    Gateway opt-in. Shareable as a single command from docs/social.
  - hermes portal {status,open,tools}: small surface over Portal auth +
    Tool Gateway routing. Defaults to 'status' when no subcommand.
  - Tool picker (hermes tools): when the user is logged into Nous, mark
    Nous-managed provider rows with a star and 'Included with your Nous
    subscription'. Suppressed when not authed — non-subscribers see the
    picker unchanged.
  - BYOK setup hint: a single dim line 'Available through Nous Portal
    subscription.' appears when the user is being prompted for a paid
    API key (Firecrawl, FAL, ElevenLabs, Browserbase, etc.) AND the
    category has a Nous-managed sibling AND the user is not already
    authed to Nous. Suppressed in all other cases.

Tested live end-to-end in an isolated HERMES_HOME with a simulated
authed and unauthed user. Targeted suite (tests/hermes_cli/
test_tools_config.py + test_setup.py) passes 97/97.

* fix: add portal to _BUILTIN_SUBCOMMANDS so plugin discovery fast-path skips it
PR 2362cc4 ("fix(gateway): enforce env variable template expansion
on runtime config loaders") refactored `_load_service_tier` to read
config via the new `_load_gateway_runtime_config` wrapper instead of
opening `_hermes_home/config.yaml` directly. The
`test_run_agent_passes_priority_processing_to_gateway_agent` test still
only stubbed `_load_gateway_config` (the inner loader), so the runtime
wrapper saw an empty config and `_load_service_tier` returned None,
breaking the test:

  FAILED tests/gateway/test_fast_command.py::test_run_agent_passes_priority_processing_to_gateway_agent
   - AssertionError: assert None == 'priority'

Fix: also stub `_load_gateway_runtime_config` to return the expected
`agent.service_tier=fast` config, so the test once again drives the
priority routing path it was written to verify.

Confirmed reproducing on current main before the patch and passing
after.

Closes NousResearch#30045. Based on @qike-ms's PR NousResearch#30141.

Telegram status callbacks (lifecycle, compression, context-pressure)
used to append a fresh bubble on every emit. Now adapter tracks
{(chat_id, status_key) -> message_id}; first call sends, subsequent
calls edit. Failed edits drop the cache entry and fall through to a
fresh send.

- gateway/platforms/telegram.py: send_or_update_status() (+34 LOC)
- gateway/run.py: route _status_callback_sync through it when the
  adapter supports it; plain adapter.send() otherwise (+15 LOC)

…-facing pages (NousResearch#30869)

PR NousResearch#30860 added a one-shot Portal setup command and a small portal CLI
surface. Update the docs so the new commands are discoverable without
upgrading the tone of existing Portal mentions.

- getting-started/quickstart.md: small tip near Choose a Provider
  pointing at 'hermes setup --portal' as the easiest fresh-install path.
- user-guide/features/tool-gateway.md: lead the Get-Started section
  with 'hermes setup --portal' for fresh installs, keep 'hermes model'
  for already-configured users, and add 'hermes portal status / tools'
  to the activity-check commands.
- user-guide/features/{web-search,image-generation,tts,browser}.md: the
  existing 'Nous Subscribers' tip blocks now name the one-shot command
  for new installs, keeping the existing 'hermes tools' path for users
  who only want to swap a single backend.
- reference/cli-commands.md: register 'hermes portal' in the top-level
  command table, add a 'hermes portal' section with subcommands, and
  add '--portal' to the 'hermes setup' options table.

Tone: each page already had a Portal mention. This PR keeps the per-page
count to one and uses concrete CLI commands rather than promotional copy.
Tool Gateway page is the one exception (the whole doc is about Portal).
… page describes (NousResearch#30874)

Follow-up to NousResearch#30869. Adds Portal mentions on user-facing pages that
naturally call for an LLM + tool credentials but didn't previously
acknowledge Portal as a one-stop option.

- getting-started/installation.md: tip after the 'after install' block
  pointing at 'hermes setup --portal' for users who want everything wired
  at once instead of piecewise via 'hermes model' + 'hermes tools'.
- user-guide/configuring-models.md: small tip near the top — the page is
  literally about provider/model choice and previously had zero Portal
  mention.
- user-guide/features/voice-mode.md: Prerequisites need both an LLM and
  TTS — a Portal subscription is the single setup that covers both.
- user-guide/features/batch-processing.md: highlights Portal as a
  predictable-cost option for parallel agent runs that hit many APIs.
- user-guide/features/api-server.md: backend needs models + tools; one
  Portal sub gives a fully-equipped OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
- user-guide/windows-native.md: early-beta users on Windows benefit most
  from skipping per-tool Windows-key-juggling.
- integrations/providers.md: updates the existing Tool Gateway tip and
  the Nous Portal section to mention the new commands.
- user-guide/features/fallback-providers.md: Nous row in the provider
  table now lists 'hermes setup --portal' as the fresh-install path.

Tone discipline: one Portal mention per page, concrete CLI commands
(no marketing copy), always solving a problem the page itself sets up.
…tlement classifier (NousResearch#29344)

``_is_entitlement_failure`` over-matched on xAI 403s.  xAI returns the
same permission-denied ``code`` text for two distinct conditions:

  1. Unsubscribed account ("active Grok subscription. Manage at
     https://grok.com" in the ``error`` field).
  2. Stale OAuth access token ("OAuth2 access token could not be
     validated. [WKE=unauthenticated:bad-credentials]" in the ``error``
     field).

The classifier's "does not have permission + grok" substring heuristic
treated both identically, so the credential-pool refresh path was
short-circuited for case (2) — long-running TUI sessions stuck on a
stale OAuth token surfaced a non-retryable client error and the user
had to exit + reopen the TUI to recover (the startup-resolve path
bypasses the classifier entirely, which is why bridge adapters with
proactive refresh cadences didn't see this in practice).

This patch adopts the reporter's recommended fix (option 1, tightest):
honor xAI's explicit ``[WKE=unauthenticated:...]`` suffix and the
``OAuth2 access token could not be validated`` phrasing as
authoritative "this is auth, not entitlement" signals.  When either
appears anywhere in the body's text fields, the classifier returns
False eagerly — *before* the entitlement keyword checks run — so the
refresh-on-401 path takes over and the existing loop-protection still
guards against runaway refresh storms if the refresh itself fails.

Two small adjustments fall out of this:

* The haystack now also covers ``code`` and ``error`` keys directly,
  not just the ``message``/``reason`` shape ``_extract_api_error_context``
  produces.  Real runtime paths use the normalised shape, but the test
  suite and any future call sites that pass raw bodies get the same
  treatment.  Backwards compatible: missing keys default to empty
  strings, the haystack still skips when everything is blank.

* Both disambiguator checks fire BEFORE the entitlement keyword
  checks.  If a future xAI body somehow lands with both an entitlement
  message AND the WKE suffix, the WKE suffix wins (correct — auth is
  recoverable; entitlement is not, and a refreshed token will surface
  the entitlement message on the next request anyway).

Existing tests (``test_is_entitlement_failure_matches_real_xai_bodies``,
``test_is_entitlement_failure_false_for_unrelated_auth_errors``,
``test_recover_with_credential_pool_skips_refresh_on_entitlement_403``,
``test_recover_with_credential_pool_still_refreshes_genuine_auth_failure``)
continue to pass unchanged — the unsubscribed-account path, the
generic auth-error path, and the refresh-on-401 path are all left
intact.
…uator (NousResearch#29344)

Eleven new tests pinning the NousResearch#29344 fix.  Layout mirrors the existing
"Fix D" entitlement section so the bad-credentials disambiguator
sits alongside the entitlement-block tests it complements.

Classifier-level coverage:

* ``test_is_entitlement_failure_false_for_bad_credentials_wke_suffix``
  — verbatim shape from the reporter's wire capture
  (``{code: 'caller does not have permission', error: 'OAuth2 access
  token could not be validated. [WKE=unauthenticated:bad-credentials]'}``)
  ↦ classifier must return False so the refresh path runs.
* ``test_is_entitlement_failure_false_for_wke_suffix_in_normalized_shape``
  — same body after ``_extract_api_error_context`` has rewritten it
  to ``{reason, message}``.  The disambiguator must fire in BOTH
  shapes; without this guard the production call site at
  ``_recover_with_credential_pool`` (which goes through the
  normalised extractor) would still misclassify.
* ``test_is_entitlement_failure_false_for_any_wke_unauthenticated_variant``
  — parametrised forward-compat: ``bad-credentials``,
  ``expired-token``, ``revoked``, ``some-future-reason``.  xAI
  documents the prefix as stable, the suffix after the colon as a
  reason code that can grow; every variant under
  ``unauthenticated:`` must route to refresh.
* ``test_is_entitlement_failure_false_via_oauth2_validation_phrase_alone``
  — belt-and-braces guard: if a future API revision drops the WKE
  suffix but keeps "OAuth2 access token could not be validated", we
  still classify correctly.
* ``test_is_entitlement_failure_wke_signal_overrides_entitlement_keywords``
  — defensive: if a body ever carries BOTH the WKE suffix and
  entitlement language, the WKE signal wins.  Auth is recoverable;
  entitlement isn't, and a refreshed token will resurface the
  entitlement message on the next request.
* ``test_is_entitlement_failure_case_insensitive_wke_match`` —
  pins that the classifier lowercases the haystack so a future xAI
  build that uppercases the prefix doesn't reintroduce the bug.

Recovery-path coverage (end-to-end through
``_recover_with_credential_pool``):

* ``test_recover_with_credential_pool_refreshes_on_xai_bad_credentials_403``
  — the headline test the reporter requested: a bad-credentials 403
  with the exact wire body must call ``try_refresh_current()``
  exactly once and ``_swap_credential`` once.  Pre-fix this returned
  ``(False, _)`` because the entitlement classifier over-matched and
  short-circuited the refresh path.
* ``test_recover_with_credential_pool_still_blocks_real_entitlement``
  — companion regression guard for NousResearch#26847: a pure unsubscribed-
  account body (no WKE suffix, no OAuth2-validation phrase) must
  still surface as entitlement and skip refresh.  The new
  disambiguator must not weaken the original loop-protection it
  was added to preserve.

The scaffolding reuses ``_make_codex_agent``, ``_FakePool``, and the
existing ``MagicMock`` patterns from the surrounding tests so the
new section reads as a natural extension of "Fix D" rather than a
separate test file.
…ousResearch#29344)

_recover_with_credential_pool had a second classification site that blanket-
treated any 403 against xai-oauth as entitlement (defense-in-depth for
NousResearch#26847).  That override defeated the new _is_entitlement_failure
disambiguator from the parent commit — bad-credentials 403s still
short-circuited the refresh path.

Apply the same WKE-unauthenticated / OAuth2-validation-phrase guard at
the override site so xAI's authoritative 'this is auth, not entitlement'
signal wins there too.  The NousResearch#26847 catch-all still triggers for genuine
entitlement bodies that don't carry the disambiguator.

Closes the end-to-end gap exposed by
test_recover_with_credential_pool_refreshes_on_xai_bad_credentials_403.
…esearch#26045) (NousResearch#30877)

Reproduction (production, 2026-05-14): two concurrent sessions on the
same agent. Session A patches MEMORY.md directly via the patch tool,
appending ~8KB of structured content (Vendor Master, Standing Orders,
Pin Board) — none of it through the memory tool, so no § delimiters.
Session B starts later with stale in-memory state (1 entry, ~331
chars). Session B calls memory(action=replace) on its one known
entry. The tool's _read_file parses A's content as a single 8KB
'entry' (no § splits), then replace truncates that entry to B's new
333-byte content. ~8KB of structured content silently destroyed.

The atomic-rename write path is fine in isolation. The bug is the
implicit contract: the tool assumes MEMORY.md is exclusively a
§-delimited list of small entries it wrote, but the v0.13 install
runbook itself uses 'cat >> MEMORY.md' for onboarding, the patch tool
edits the file directly, and operators do too.

Fix: a drift guard in MemoryStore._detect_external_drift that fires
on either signal:

  1. Re-parse + re-serialize doesn't produce identical bytes
     (catches oddly-encoded delimiters / partial writes).
  2. Any single parsed entry exceeds the store's whole-file char
     limit. The tool budgets the ENTIRE store against that limit
     (2200 chars for memory, 1375 for user), so no tool-written
     entry can legitimately be larger. An entry bigger than the
     store limit means an external writer dropped free-form content
     into what the tool will treat as one entry.

When drift fires, _reload_target writes a .bak.<ts> snapshot of the
on-disk file, then add/replace/remove refuse to flush. The original
file stays untouched. The error dict surfaces the .bak path AND a
remediation string ('integrate missing entries via memory(add=...)
one at a time, then rewrite the file clean') so the model can act on
it without escalating to the operator.

Tests:
  - test_replace_refuses_on_drift, test_add_refuses_on_drift,
    test_remove_refuses_on_drift — all three mutators refuse
  - test_clean_file_does_not_trigger_drift — false-positive check
  - test_error_message_points_at_remediation — error string shape
  - test_drift_guard_also_protects_user_target — USER.md too
  - test_drift_backup_filename_is_unique_per_invocation — bak.<ts>
    naming pin

144 memory tests passing (was 137; +7).

…ousResearch#24912) (NousResearch#30879)

User incident (Slack, 2026-05-13): user walked away mid-conversation,
agent requested approval to run `rm -rf .git`, the prompt timed out
after the gateway_timeout (default 300s), and the agent removed the
.git folder on its own. Corroborated by an independent report from a
Telegram user.

The underlying code path was correct — `check_all_command_guards`
returns `approved=False` with a BLOCKED message on both timeout and
explicit deny, and `terminal_tool` surfaces that as `status=blocked`
to the agent. The bug is at the model-interface layer: the message
"BLOCKED: Command timed out. Do NOT retry this command." reads to
some models as "try a different command achieving the same outcome."

This commit changes only the model-facing message + the structured
return shape:

  - Timeout message now explicitly names the three evasion paths the
    agent must avoid: retry, rephrase, AND achieve the same outcome
    via a different command. Ends with "Silence is not consent."
  - Explicit deny gets the same shape minus the silence-is-not-consent
    line (it WAS an explicit deny, not silence).
  - New structured fields on the return dict: `outcome` ("timeout"
    or "denied") and `user_consent` (always False on this branch)
    so plugins, hooks, and audit pipelines don't have to string-parse
    the message to distinguish the two cases.

The mechanism that should already have prevented the original incident
— timeout treated as deny, BLOCKED result, post hook fires with
`choice="timeout"` — is unchanged. This commit hardens only the
agent's reading of the result.

Tests:
  - test_timeout_returns_approved_false_with_no_consent — pins the
    return shape on the Slack-shaped notify_cb-registered path
  - test_timeout_message_is_emphatic_against_retry_and_rephrase —
    pins the exact phrases the message must contain
  - test_explicit_deny_carries_same_no_consent_shape — same contract
    on explicit /deny
  - test_timeout_emits_post_hook_with_timeout_outcome — pins the
    post_approval_response hook payload so audit plugins can act

329 approval tests passing (4 new + 325 existing).

No buzzwords, no comparison tables, no overselling.

scanning the README has just seen the install steps and is deciding
their next move. Skippable by anyone who already knows their provider.

The line 'You can still bring your own keys per-tool whenever you
