Fixes NousResearch#66030

Problem

The Dashboard's Channels page "Test" button (POST /api/messaging/platforms/{platform_id}/test) reports <Platform> is connected. even when the gateway's auth posture denies all users — i.e., no allowlists configured (TELEGRAM_ALLOWED_USERS, etc.) and GATEWAY_ALLOW_ALL_USERS not set.

This is misleading: the platform adapter is technically connected, but zero users can actually interact with the bot.

Solution

After confirming the adapter is connected, the handler now calls _check_messaging_platform_auth() which mirrors the auth logic from gateway/authz_mixin.AuthorizationMixin._is_user_authorized():

  1. Global allow-all: checks GATEWAY_ALLOW_ALL_USERS env var
  2. Per-platform allow-all: checks per-platform flags like TELEGRAM_ALLOW_ALL_USERS, DISCORD_ALLOW_ALL_USERS, etc.
  3. Per-platform allowlists: checks TELEGRAM_ALLOWED_USERS, DISCORD_ALLOWED_USERS, etc. (non-empty = users explicitly listed)
  4. Plugin platforms: checks the PlatformRegistry for custom auth env var names
  5. Deny-all: if none of the above are configured, returns a warning string

The warning is added as a warnings field in the response JSON alongside the existing ok: True — no breaking changes to the API contract.

Example response when in deny-all:

{
  "ok": true,
  "state": "connected",
  "message": "Telegram is connected.",
  "warnings": "Connected, but no users are authorized — configure TELEGRAM_ALLOWED_USERS or set GATEWAY_ALLOW_ALL_USERS=true"
}

Platforms that bypass user-level auth entirely (homeassistant, webhook, relay, api_server) are skipped.

Changes

  • hermes_cli/web_server.py: added _check_messaging_platform_auth() (99 lines) and modified the connected-response block in test_messaging_platform() to include auth warnings

hermes-agent is public/OSS; the forensic-logging comment in
_quarantine_nous_oauth_state named 'Fly' (the specific managed-hosting compute
provider) twice. Reword generically ('a hosted agent', 'a managed log drain may
be WARNING-only') — the behaviour is unchanged, only the comment. Follows the
same scrub applied to the boot re-seed helper (NousResearch#59983) before merge; this one
slipped through in NousResearch#59976.
* fix(auth): apply newer hosted bootstrap session

* fix(auth): validate rebootstrap replacement seeds
…lias (NousResearch#65237)

* fix(nix): fold makeWrapper line continuations into optionalStrings

When rev == null (any dirty-tree build), the empty optionalString
expansion left the previous line's trailing backslash dangling onto a
blank line, ending the makeWrapper command early and running
`--suffix PYTHONPATH ...` as its own shell command (`--suffix: command
not found`, exit 127). Clean trees passed CI; dirty trees with
extraPythonPackages failed — exactly the path the NixOS module
exercises.

The continuation now lives inside each optionalString (" \\\n  --set
..."), so the makeWrapper chain stays intact whether or not the
optional flags expand.

Verified by building with rev = null + extraPythonPackages =
[ pyfiglet ]: wrapper builds, PYTHONPATH suffix lands inside the
makeWrapper call, wrapped `hermes --version` runs, and the collision
check still executes (certifi correctly rejected).

* perf(nix): filter derivation sources to shrink rebuild scope

Every derivation previously saw the whole repo, so any file change
rebuilt everything. Each derivation now gets a filtered src with only
the files it consumes:

- lib.nix: derive npm workspace topology from the root package.json
  `workspaces` globs (single source of truth — a new workspace member
  is picked up with zero nix edits). pythonSrc (cleanSourceWith)
  excludes the JS workspace trees, docs/website, docker/.github,
  tests, nix/, flake.nix/flake.lock, root docs, and skills/ +
  optional-skills/. importNpmLock reads from a fileset-filtered
  npmRoot (root manifests + member package.jsons only).
- mkNpmPassthru takes `dirs` — the workspace dirs the package
  contains — and builds a per-package fileset src from them. web and
  desktop include apps/shared (file: dep). One shared
  `nix run .#update-npm-lockfile` replaces the per-package
  update_*_lockfile bins that only existed inside build sandboxes.
- python.nix: release venv loads the uv2nix workspace from pythonSrc.
  The editable venv keeps an unfiltered ./.. root —
  mkEditablePyprojectOverlay calls lib.path.splitRoot, which rejects
  a cleanSourceWith set, and the editable install reads the live
  checkout anyway.
- hermes-agent.nix: skills ship exclusively via HERMES_BUNDLED_SKILLS
  / HERMES_OPTIONAL_SKILLS (same mechanism as Homebrew packaging;
  setup.py's _data_file_tree returns [] for missing dirs), so
  SKILL.md edits no longer rebuild the venv. optional-mcps stays in
  the wheel — pyproject.toml lists its manifests as explicit
  data-files. Bundled assets are symlinked instead of copied, making
  the wrapper drv near-instant when only an input changed.
  __pycache__ filtered from bundled skills.
- checks.nix: find -L through the new symlinks; assert
  optional-skills presence + HERMES_OPTIONAL_SKILLS in the wrapper.
- run_tests.sh: fall back to $HERMES_PYTHON when no local venv
  exists, guarded by an `import pytest` probe (HERMES_PYTHON from a
  wrapped hermes binary points at the release venv, which has no
  pytest — without the guard every test file dies with "No module
  named pytest" while the runner exits 0).

Verified: nix flake check exit 0; built .#default .#tui .#web
.#desktop; SKILL.md and flake.nix edits leave the venv drvPath
unchanged; .py edits leave the tui drvPath unchanged; .tsx edits
leave the venv drvPath unchanged (and do change the tui drv);
scripts/run_tests.sh runs 299 tests green through both the venv and
HERMES_PYTHON paths, and rejects a pytest-less HERMES_PYTHON.

* refactor(nix): overlay aliases the flake's own package instead of re-instantiating

The overlay previously re-called callPackage against the consumer's
nixpkgs (final), so pkgs.hermes-agent could be a different derivation
than nix build .#default and the NixOS module's default — an untested
build matrix against arbitrary consumer nixpkgs versions, for a
package whose Python side is uv2nix-locked anyway.

Now the overlay is a pure alias for the flake's own locked package:
one callPackage site (packages.nix), everything else references it.
.override { ... } still works — callPackage's makeOverridable travels
with the derivation.

Verified: direct drvPath == overlaid drvPath; .override produces a
distinct drv.

* fix(nix): dedupe extraPlugins assertions, replace MESSAGING_CWD with terminal.cwd

- Delete the duplicated extraPlugins duplicate-name assertions block
  (same assertion declared twice back to back).
- Stop setting the deprecated MESSAGING_CWD env var, which made the
  module trip hermes' own startup deprecation warning. The working
  directory is now injected as terminal.cwd into the generated
  config.yaml; cfg.settings wins via recursiveUpdate, and container
  mode maps to the in-container mount path.
…ousResearch#65206)

git diff on a lockfile is unreadable: npm reorders entries, rewrites
integrity hashes, and moves packages between nesting levels, so a
one-line package.json bump produces a thousand-line textual diff.

scripts/ci/lockfile_diff.py instead parses the `packages` map out of
both versions of every tracked package-lock.json (via `git show`),
reduces each to {install path: version}, and set-diffs the maps —
reorder/hash churn vanishes, leaving only actual version movement
(added / removed / updated, with nested dedup copies tracked
separately).

The lockfile-diff workflow posts the result as a Markdown table in a
PR comment gated behind a hidden marker: subsequent pushes PATCH the
existing comment instead of stacking new ones, and a push that reverts
all lockfile changes updates the comment to say so. Advisory only —
never fails on findings; fork PRs (read-only token) degrade to a
warning.

Wired through the ci.yml orchestrator with a new npm_lock lane in
classify_changes.py (fails open on .github/ changes per the existing
contract).
…aned events

Two complementary fixes for cross-session background-process notification
leakage in the TUI/Desktop multi-session path (NousResearch#42674, NousResearch#35652).

1. Poller orphan guard: after _notification_event_belongs_elsewhere
   returns False, check whether the event has a non-empty session_key
   that differs from the current session.  If so the owner session is
   gone — drop the event instead of hijacking it into an unrelated
   session transcript.

2. Post-turn drain filter: the existing drain_notifications() pops every
   event from the global queue regardless of ownership.  Added
   _drain_owned_notifications() which applies the same ownership routing
   used by the poller (consume own, requeue foreign-live, drop orphan),
   and wired it into the post-turn safety drain.

Complementary to PR NousResearch#42731 which addresses a separate code path in the
same bug class.  Together they close NousResearch#42674.
Apply positive-proof routing to every addressed notification in the registry and TUI poller while preserving ownerless legacy behavior and TUI delivery for poll-observed completions.

Remove the unused exact-key drain helper and cover ordinary success and failure, origin, compression-lineage, orphan, and poll-observed paths.

Complements NousResearch#54785.
Adapt the strongest NousResearch#63317 live-loop handoff regression and cover lineage lookup failure plus addressed live-loop orphans.

…st (NousResearch#65214)

Moves the fireworks entry in CANONICAL_PROVIDERS from its old slot
(after GMI Cloud) to directly below Nous Portal, ahead of OpenRouter.
Order propagates automatically to hermes model, the setup wizard,
Telegram /model, and the desktop provider catalog.
…adapter

The webhook adapter defaulted to host='0.0.0.0' — IPv4 only. On Fly.io
hosted agents the edge router (hermes-agent-router) reverse-proxies public
webhook traffic to <app>.internal:8644 over 6PN, Fly's private network,
which is IPv6-only (.internal resolves to an fdaa:… address). An IPv4-only
listener is unreachable there, so public webhook POSTs to
https://<agent>.agents.nousresearch.com/webhooks/<route> never landed on
the adapter — the router's dial was refused.

Fix: DEFAULT_HOST = None, which makes aiohttp/asyncio create_server bind
BOTH address families. '::' is NOT a valid substitute: on hosts where the
kernel sets bindv6only=1 (verified on Fly machines) it yields an IPv6-only
socket, breaking the IPv4 loopback /health check and the AF_INET
port-conflict probe in connect(). None binds per-family regardless of the
sysctl. An explicit empty-string/null host in config now also normalises to
None (dual-stack) rather than an invalid host=''. Users can still pin a
specific host via platforms.webhook.extra.host.

Validated live on a Fly staging agent: with this default and no config
override, the adapter binds both v4 and v6 (127.0.0.1:8644 and [::1]:8644
both answer), and a public signed webhook POST through the router returns
202 (valid sig) / 401 (bad sig) instead of the router's 502.

Tests: new TestDualStackBind asserts the None default, config resolution
(missing/empty→None, pinned preserved), and a real dual-stack bind opens
both AF_INET and AF_INET6 listeners. Red-proof: these fail on the old
'0.0.0.0' default.
Disable address reuse so an existing family-specific listener cannot silently split traffic with the webhook server. Normalize wildcard bind hosts for local CLI URLs and align setup documentation with the dual-stack default.
…rite)

First step of the cwd rearchitecture (see PR NousResearch#65185 for the targeted
leak fixes this will eventually supersede, and
.hermes/plans/cwd-rearch-audit.md for the full audit + sequencing).

The root cause of the wrong-worktree bug class is that cwd lives on the
SHARED terminal env — a global mutable timeshared between sessions.
env.cwd_owner stamping, _last_known_cwd, and file_tools' ownership
ladder are all patches over that misplacement.

This adds the replacement store: _session_cwd, keyed by the raw
session/task key, with record/get/clear accessors. Step 1 is dual-write
only — every site that learns a session's live cwd also records it:

- terminal_tool foreground path: after env.execute() the env's own
  post-command tracking has updated env.cwd; mirror it under the
  session key that drove the command
- register_task_env_overrides: a registered workspace cwd (ACP/TUI/
  desktop) seeds the session record
- clear_task_env_overrides: drops the record on teardown

Readers are untouched — behavior is identical. Later steps flip
file_tools resolution and _resolve_command_cwd to read this store,
then delete env-side tracking, cwd_owner, and _last_known_cwd.

Also hardens terminal_tool's env acquisition with an explicit
env-is-None guard (previously implicitly unbound on an unreachable
branch, flagged by pyright once the dual-write read env post-loop).
…step 2)

Flips the read side of the cwd rearchitecture onto the _session_cwd
store introduced in the previous commit.

_authoritative_workspace_root now resolves:
  1. the session's own cwd record (get_session_cwd) — per-session by
     construction, so one session's cd can never leak into another
     session's file resolution, with no ownership heuristics at all
  2. registered override (fallback for cleared/never-written records)
  3. legacy shared-env live cwd + preserved anchor (transition-only,
     for commands that ran before this code loaded)
  4. sentinel-free absolute TERMINAL_CWD

delegate_task children get their record seeded from the parent's at
spawn: they keep starting in the parent's directory (current behavior)
but their subsequent cds stay isolated in their own record instead of
bleeding back through the shared env.

The wrong-worktree leak class is now solved structurally on this path —
there is no shared cwd for sessions to inherit. The legacy env-side
tracking (cwd_owner, _live_cwd_if_owned, _last_known_cwd) remains only
as a transition fallback and is deleted in the next step.
…p 3)

Third step of the cwd rearchitecture: _resolve_command_cwd now prefers
the session's own cwd record over the shared env's live cwd.

New resolution order: workdir > session record > legacy env.cwd
(ownership-gated, transition-only) > config/override default.

The record is written after every completed command for the session, so
it IS the session's cd state — another session's cd lands in another
record and cannot affect this session's commands. The legacy env.cwd
branch only fires for a session with no record yet (no command has
completed since this code loaded); it keeps the prev_owner ownership
guard for that transition window and is deleted in step 4 along with
env.cwd_owner stamping and file_tools' _last_known_cwd machinery.

Adds command-path regression tests including the terminal sibling of
the leak-A scenario (unowned shared env cwd vs session record) and an
E2E cd round-trip through terminal_tool.
…tep 4)

The per-session record store is now the ONLY cwd mechanism. Deleted:

- env.cwd_owner stamping + prev_owner threading (terminal_tool): the
  shared env no longer carries ownership metadata at all
- _resolve_command_cwd's env/prev_owner params: resolution is
  workdir > session record > config/override default
- file_tools._live_cwd_if_owned + _get_live_tracking_cwd: path
  resolution never consults the shared env's live cwd
- file_tools._last_known_cwd + _remember_last_known_cwd +
  _last_known_cwd_for: the NousResearch#26211 preserved-anchor registry is
  subsumed by the session record, which never lived on the env and
  therefore cannot be lost to env cleanup. The _get_file_ops
  stale-cache rescue now writes the record instead.
- env recreation (both _get_file_ops and terminal_tool) seeds the
  fresh env from override > session record > config

Why no transition fallback: the legacy state was process-local and
in-memory exactly like the record store — after a restart both start
empty, and within a running process every legacy write site has been
dual-writing the record since step 1. There is no populated-legacy/
empty-record state to fall back for.

Tests updated to drive the record store instead of the deleted
mechanism; the cross-session isolation suite now asserts the same
behavior contracts (no leak, cd isolation, NousResearch#26211 persistence)
against the new architecture, plus a new "session C inherits nothing"
case that the old ownership guard could not express.
plugins/platforms/photon/adapter.py launches the Node sidecar (and the
spectrum-ts mixed-attachment patch run) via subprocess without creationflags.
On Windows this opens a visible console window on every sidecar (re)start --
and because a failed sidecar is retried on a timer, it flashes repeatedly.

Wire windows_hide_flags() (hermes_cli/_subprocess_compat) into both spawns,
the same helper the discord and whatsapp adapters already use for their
sidecar spawns -- photon was the one platform adapter this pattern missed.
CREATE_NO_WINDOW only (no DETACHED_PROCESS) so the persistent sidecar's
stdin/stdout pipes stay usable for the supervisor.

Widen @lEWFkRAD's sidecar-headless fix (PR NousResearch#54565) to the sibling spawn
sites: the npm ci / npm install self-heal runs in _reinstall_sidecar_deps
also popped a brief console window per run on Windows. Same
windows_hide_flags() helper (CREATE_NO_WINDOW only, so capture_output
stays usable).
The end-to-end _build_api_kwargs parity test asserted the Nous Portal
tags exactly equal the base two-tag list. With the per-session
conversation tag, a real agent (which has a session_id) now emits a
third `conversation=<session_id>` tag. Assert against
nous_portal_tags(session_id=agent.session_id) so the check stays exact.
Update max-iteration summary assertions to include the agent session ID now attached to Nous Portal requests.
… calls

Extends the conversation=<id> Portal tag (salvaged from PR NousResearch#65183 by
@J-SUPHA) from main-loop-only to every LLM call in a conversation:

- agent/portal_tags.py: ContextVar-based conversation context.
  nous_portal_tags() falls back to the ambient id when no explicit
  session_id is passed, so every aux tag site (auxiliary_client,
  chat_completion_helpers summary path, web_tools) inherits the tag
  with zero per-call-site plumbing. Ambient id wins over explicit
  per-segment ids since it carries the lineage root.
- hermes_state.py: SessionDB.get_conversation_root() — public wrapper
  over the lineage walk; returns the ROOT session id, so one
  user-facing conversation keeps a single conversation= value across
  context-compression rotation, and delegate subagent trees tag as
  their parent conversation.
- run_agent.py: run_conversation() publishes the root id for the turn
  and resets it in finally. _conversation_root_id() resolves via
  _parent_session_id for subagents.
- agent/moa_loop.py: MoA reference fan-out workers now run under
  propagate_context_to_thread so advisor slots attribute to the acting
  conversation (also fixes approval-callback propagation on that path).
- agent/title_generator.py: bare title thread republishes the context
  from its session id (spawned after turn reset).

Tests: ContextVar semantics, cross-context isolation, thread-hop
propagation, lineage-root resolution incl. cycle guard.
tools_disable_enable_command filters platform-restricted toolsets out of
toolset_targets and prints an error for each, but the success summary at
the end is built from the raw targets list and only excludes unknown
toolsets and failed MCP servers. Running e.g.

    hermes tools enable discord --platform telegram

prints the 'not available on platform' error followed by 'Enabled:
discord' for a toolset that was never written to the config.

Exclude restricted_targets from the success summary, matching how
unknown toolsets and failed MCP servers are already handled.

Two regression tests: a restricted toolset alone must not print
'Enabled', and a mixed allowed+restricted invocation must report only
the allowed toolset (both fail before the fix).

The sidebar working dot didn't update for background sessions until the
user opened them. Two coupled causes:

1. The gateway's session.info event payload omitted stored_session_id,
   so the desktop app had no way to map a background session's runtime
   id to its stored id. Without the stored id, setSessionWorking(null,
   ...) was a no-op — the $workingSessionIds atom never updated.

2. The running→busy transition in the session.info handler was gated on
   `apply` (active session only). The gate correctly scopes view-only
   side effects (setCurrentModel, setCurrentCwd, etc.) to the focused
   chat, but the per-session busy state drives the sidebar indicator and
   must reach every session. updateSessionState only mutates the
   per-runtime cache entry, and syncSessionStateToView already guards
   the view publish to the active session, so ungating is safe.

Fix: add stored_session_id to _session_info() in tui_gateway/server.py,
add the field to GatewayEventPayload, pass it to updateSessionState in
the session.info handler, and ungate the running→busy transition.
…usResearch#65898)

Switching between chat sessions in the desktop app froze for up to ~1–2s on
large transcripts. Profiling the switch path surfaced three main-thread
blockers, fixed here minimally and without changing behavior.

1. JSON.stringify deep-compare (worst case). chatMessagesEquivalent compared
   message parts with JSON.stringify(a) === JSON.stringify(b) on every switch.
   On image-/large-blob-bearing transcripts this serialized every part twice
   and cost well over a second. Replaced with a structural compare that never
   stringifies: array-level identity fast-path, per-part reference fast-path,
   then type-aware field comparison. The compare's only consumer asks "did the
   transcript change, should I setMessages?", so it is deliberately
   conservative — a false-negative just causes one extra idempotent
   setMessages, while a false-positive (the unsafe direction) is avoided.

2. Scroll-settle loop. thread-list ran a requestAnimationFrame settle loop up
   to 90 frames (or 5 stable frames) on every sessionKey change, each frame
   forcing a synchronous layout read + write — racing the markdown paint for
   up to ~1.5s. A normal synchronous switch stabilizes within a couple
   frames, so the ceiling is now 2 stable frames / 15 max.

3. Synchronous first paint of up to 300 parts. On switch, thread-list reset
   the render budget to the full RENDER_BUDGET=300, so up to 300 parts went
   through markdown + shiki syntax-highlighting synchronously on the switch
   commit. It now paints a small FIRST_PAINT_BUDGET=60 first, then bumps to
   the full 300 in a requestAnimationFrame after the first commit.

… unified worktree dialog (NousResearch#65204)

* feat(desktop): add useKeybindHint hook and TipKeybindLabel

Add a shared hook that reads the current keybind combo for an action
id from the $bindings store (rebindable) or KEYBIND_READONLY (fixed),
returning a formatted string or null when unbound.

Add TipKeybindLabel — a convenience component that auto-reads both
its label (from i18n) and keybind combo from the action registry.
Pass only actionId for the common case; pass text to override when
the tooltip is context-dependent.

* fix(desktop): replace native title= on buttons with themed Tip

Migrate all <button>/<Button> elements using the native HTML title=
attribute to the instant, themed <Tip> component. Native tooltips are
unstyled, delayed (~500ms OS default), and visually inconsistent with
the app's instant themed tooltips.

Also adds <Tip> wrappers to icon-only buttons that were missing
tooltips entirely (dialog close, search clear, overlay close,
master-detail pane controls, keybind panel rebind/reset buttons).

Adds an enforcement test (no-native-title.test.ts) that scans all
.tsx files for <button>/<Button> with title= and fails if any are
found. Updates DESIGN.md with the icon-only button tooltip rule and
keybind hint guidance.

* feat(desktop): wire keybind hints into button tooltips

Add actionId to TitlebarTool, StatusbarItem, and SidebarNavItem so
their tooltips show the current keybind combo via TipKeybindLabel.
Fix the hardcoded NEW_SESSION_KBD in the sidebar to read from
$bindings so it stays live on rebind.

Wired surfaces:
- Titlebar: sidebar toggle, flip panes, keybinds, settings
- Statusbar: terminal toggle (view.showTerminal)
- Status stack: open agents button (nav.agents)
- Sidebar nav: new session, skills, messaging, artifacts

* feat(desktop): move keybind panel to settings tab with search filter

Move the keyboard shortcuts panel from a Radix Dialog into a proper
Settings tab (/settings?tab=keybinds). The ⌘/ shortcut and titlebar
keyboard button now navigate to this settings tab instead of toggling
a dialog. Adds a search filter to filter shortcuts by label.

- New: src/app/settings/keybind-settings.tsx (extracted from keybind-panel.tsx)
- Delete: src/app/shell/keybind-panel.tsx (dialog wrapper removed)
- Remove: $keybindPanelOpen atom and toggle/open/close functions
- Add: IconKeyboard to lib/icons.ts
- i18n: keybinds.search + settings.nav.keybinds (en, zh, zh-hant, ja)

* refactor(desktop): unify worktree dialog into shared WorktreeDialog

Extract the worktree creation dialog from StartWorkButton (sidebar) into a
shared WorktreeDialog component. Both the sidebar's StartWorkButton and the
composer's CodingStatusRow now use the same dialog, eliminating the duplicated
UI.

The shared dialog keeps the sidebar version's full feature set:
- BaseBranchPicker (filterable base branch combobox)
- Convert mode (check out an existing branch into a worktree)
- Sanitized branch name input

The coding row passes repoPath (from cwd) and onOpenWorktree (which carries
the composer draft to the new session) so the unified dialog works everywhere
there's a repo, not just inside an entered project.

…ad reload (NousResearch#65984)

Auto-compression ends the SessionDB session and forks a continuation,
rotating the stored session id. The gateway emits `session.info` with
the new `stored_session_id`, and the desktop's cache entry was updated
via `ensureSessionState` — but the URL route and `$selectedStoredSessionId`
never followed the rotation.

On the next send, `getRuntimeIdForStoredSession(oldStoredId)` returned
null (the cache entry's `storedSessionId` no longer matched the old id),
so `routedSessionNeedsResume` evaluated true, triggering a full
`session.resume` + REST transcript prefetch — the whole thread reloaded.

Fix: a new `$activeSessionStoredId` atom is set in `ensureSessionState`
when the active session's stored id changes. A `useEffect` in
`use-session-actions` subscribes to it and re-anchors the route +
selection (`setSelectedStoredSessionId` + `navigate(replace: true)`),
and cleans up the stale stored→runtime mapping.

`replace: true` because it's the same conversation — compression is
transparent to the user, so back-button stays correct.

* fix(dashboard): unblock basic auth plugin during interactive password setup

When the dashboard prompts for username/password on a non-loopback bind,
also remove the bundled basic provider from plugins.disabled so
discover_plugins(force=True) can register it (NousResearch#54489).

* test(dashboard): cover basic auth plugin blocked by plugins.disabled

Regression harness for NousResearch#54489: credentials in config are not enough when
the bundled basic provider is on the deny-list.
…usResearch#52482)

The web dashboard runs inside the gateway process, so `os.environ` carries
`_HERMES_GATEWAY=1`. `_spawn_hermes_action` spread that into the subprocess env,
so a spawned `hermes gateway restart` (dashboard "Enable webhooks", Telegram QR
apply) tripped the in-process restart-loop guard and exited 1 — the gateway
never restarted, but the dashboard reported `restart_started: true` because it
only checks that the spawn succeeded.

Scrub `_HERMES_GATEWAY` from the spawned action's env, matching what the
gateway's own restart watcher already does (gateway/run.py).

Fixes NousResearch#52470. Adds a test asserting the spawned env drops the loop-guard var
while keeping HERMES_NONINTERACTIVE.

select-7z-arch.js). When launched from the desktop updater chain
(Desktop -> hermes-setup -> hermes update) the shell PATH customizations are
lost, so the install dies with `'node' is not recognized` / `node: not found`.

- cmd_gui: wrap the npm-install env with with_hermes_node_path(_nixos_build_env())
  so managed Node is prepended even on a stripped PATH — mirrors the idiom
  already used by the update deps refresh. (The original fix merged nixos_env
  on TOP of the managed env, whose full os.environ copy clobbered the managed
  PATH back to bare; wrapping fixes that merge order.)
- _cmd_update_impl: spawn the `desktop --build-only` subprocess with
  with_hermes_node_path() so the child starts with managed Node from the outset.

Regression test: the desktop install env now prepends the managed Node dir
ahead of a bare updater PATH instead of passing env=None.

…engine MCP catalog entry

Companion to optional-mcps/unreal-engine (Epic's official editor-embedded
MCP server, UE 5.8 experimental). Mirrors the blender-mcp catalog-entry +
companion-skill pattern, sized up for Unreal's discovery-based surface:

- SKILL.md: tool-search discovery contract (list_toolsets/describe_toolset/
  call_tool), serial game-thread call discipline (explicitly overrides the
  parallel-batching default), plain-English->scene translation workflow,
  save/verify hygiene, art-direction loop
- references/tool-surface.md: architecture (Unreal MCP / Toolset Registry /
  AllToolsets), confirmed shipped toolsets, call_tool dispatch semantics,
  project Agent Skills (AgentSkillToolset), capture paths, custom Python/C++
  toolset authoring, config/CVar/console reference, cooked-build notes
- references/scene-craft.md: physically-based lighting values (lux/lumens/
  Kelvin/EV100), mood recipes, Lumen Movable-mobility rule, scale tables,
  content-path conventions, CineCamera framing, editor Python entry points
- references/recipes.md: four end-to-end builds in INTENT/DISCOVER/VALUES/
  VERIFY grammar (exterior, night interior, golden-hour cinematic still,
  import+populate) that stay honest about the project-dependent surface
- references/pitfalls.md: 25+ failure modes with fixes: start order, modal
  deadlocks, Hermes-timeout-vs-editor-completion, _C class suffix, PascalCase
  silent no-op writes, referenced-asset delete crash, async shader compiles,
  editor sprite icons in screenshots, PIE interference

Grounded in Epic's UE 5.8 docs and Epic's agent-facing skill pack for this
server; no fabricated tool names — live describe_toolset schemas are the
contract throughout.
…encode e2e test findings

Ran the full loop against a real editor (blank project, ModelContextProtocol
+ ToolsetRegistry + AllToolsets enabled): raw MCP handshake, discovery walk,
environment relight for golden hour, primitive monument build, virtual-camera
captures with vision judgment, exposure debugging, annotated spatial capture.
67 toolsets advertised; every dispatch semantic below observed, not inferred.

Corrections and additions from the live run:
- Qualified toolset names (editor_toolset.toolsets.scene.SceneTools) with
  SHORT tool_name; TOptional params must be explicit null; find_actors
  requires ''/[] for its schema-required optionals; ObjectTools values is a
  JSON *string*; refPath object references; returnValue wrapping; per-property
  failure lists with schema-in-error
- HTTP wire contract: initialize=JSON + session header, tools/call=SSE frame
  after game-thread completion (plain-JSON clients read empty body)
- CaptureViewport as virtual camera (captureTransform, meter-unit annotation
  grid + actor callouts) verified with pixel evidence; recipes rewritten to
  use it instead of viewport piloting
- New pitfalls from real failures: template-level environment-actor
  duplication compounding into whiteouts (find-first/spawn-if-missing rule),
  template exposure calibration vs physical lux (12b), objective exposure
  check via ffprobe YAVG (12c), untitled-level Save-As modal deadlock,
  macOS full-Xcode + Metal Toolchain requirement (xcodebuild
  -downloadComponent MetalToolchain)
- Live toolset census (67 on blank project), LogsToolset/ConfigSettings/
  SemanticSearch highlights, UE EULA 6(e) licensing note
New references/advanced-workflows.md covering the sophisticated-workflow
surface, each section exercised against a running editor:

- ProgrammaticToolset batching: full contract (get_execution_environment
  gate, execute_tool fully-qualified names, JSON-string inputs,
  returnValue unwrapping, allowed imports) + a verified worked example
  (12-column colonnade, 36 components in one round-trip vs 37 serial calls)
- Blueprint DSL authoring loop, verified end-to-end: create -> list_graphs
  -> get_graph_dsl_docs -> find_node_types per node -> write_graph_dsl ->
  compile_blueprint -> spawn instance. Every node-ID gotcha hit live is
  recorded (EventTick not Tick, Math|Rotator|MakeRotator, registry
  categories vs doc categories, no (self) node)
- PIE session options schema (bSimulate/playMode/warmupSeconds/
  startTransform, out-of-process downgrade behavior)
- Sequencer orientation: 140-tool surface mapped by capability group +
  sibling keyframing/controlrig/conditions toolsets + minimal cinematic
  skeleton
- LogsToolset self-debugging, AutomationTestToolset CI loop,
  SemanticSearch, ConfigSettings, project AgentSkillToolset precedence
- Per-situation decision table

New pitfalls from this round's live failures: 10b (refPath-object vs
plain-string params; schema-in-error as tiebreaker), 10c (DSL node IDs
must come from find_node_types). SKILL.md: batching exception wired into
the operating loop, reference table row, description updated.
…ction

21c: the viewport axis gizmo survives bShowUI=false — measured extent on
5.8, deterministic ffmpeg post-crop recipe. 21d: frame-sequence discipline
(one session, serial captures, idempotent resumable loop, s/frame budget,
smoothstep easing, VolumetricCloud artifact removal) — all from producing
a real 240-frame orbit through CaptureViewport.
…ide sprites at source

Post-hoc sprite removal is a losing battle (three inpainting strategies
failed QC on letter-edge overlap frames). The production answer: sprites
are BillboardComponent/SpriteComponent/ArrowComponent subobjects — set
bVisible:false via ObjectTools (remove_component fails on default
subobjects), swept scene-wide in one ProgrammaticToolset script
(148 actors, 13 sprites, one round-trip, verified).
…Research#66033)

Follow-up to NousResearch#65890 (router transitions off) and NousResearch#65898 (structural
compare + first-paint budget): profiling the switch path on real 1000+-
message sessions with a new CDP harness showed the remaining freeze is
NOT markdown rendering — it's a forced-reflow cascade from mount-time
layout reads interleaved with style writes across the transcript's
layout effects, plus the first-paint budget cut landing too late to
stop the full-budget commit.

Measured on the two largest local sessions (996 and 1363 messages),
main-thread longtask totals per switch: warm 2450ms -> 557ms and
1158ms -> 194ms; first paint 1690ms -> 444ms. Harness:
scripts/profile-session-switch.mjs (same CDP family as
profile-real-stream.mjs).

- use-resize-observer: drop the synchronous initial callback and ride
  the observer's spec-guaranteed first delivery instead (same frame,
  after layout, before paint). The sync call ran while the commit's
  layout was dirty, so every size read in a callback forced a full
  reflow — with one instance per user bubble (measureClamp read
  scrollHeight, then WROTE --human-msg-full, re-dirtying layout for the
  next bubble), the switch commit thrashed for over a second. Inside RO
  timing the same reads are free. Composer metrics (2x
  getBoundingClientRect + documentElement style writes) rides the same
  fix.
- Same class, same fix at the remaining call sites profiling surfaced:
  ExpandableBlock and TerminalOutput (dozens per tool-heavy transcript)
  now measure/pin via RO initial delivery; the tool-window and
  thinking-preview pins drop their sync pin() call; the thread
  timeline's initial active-tick compute joins its existing
  scroll-time rAF batching so back-to-back transcript updates coalesce.
- thread/list: cut the render budget in the RENDER phase (state-from-
  props adjustment) instead of the post-commit layout effect. The
  effect-time cut was too late — on a warm switch React first built and
  committed the full 300-part tree, then re-rendered at 60, then bumped
  back to 300, so the expensive commit still happened (and on a cold
  switch the bump rAF usually fired while the transcript was still
  empty, so the prefetched messages rendered at full budget anyway).
  The render-phase cut restarts the component before any child renders;
  a second trigger handles the cold path where messages land later
  under the same sessionKey.
- thread/list: backfill 60 -> 300 inside startTransition so the older
  turns' markdown+shiki render is interruptible background work instead
  of a synchronous freeze one frame after the switch paints. Functional
  Math.max so an urgent "Show earlier" click can't be rebased back down.
- composer focus: skip the rAF/timeout focus retries when the element
  is already focused — focus() runs the full focusing steps (forcing
  layout) even on the active element, ~585ms per switch on a large
  dirty DOM.
- Replace the tautological render-budget test (it re-declared the
  constants locally and asserted 60 < 300) with behavior tests of the
  now-exported buildGroups + firstVisibleGroupIndex.

Verification: apps/desktop `npx tsc --noEmit` clean; full
`npx vitest run` 210 files / 1763 passed; manual CDP check confirms the
deferred backfill commits the full transcript, stays pinned to bottom,
and "Show earlier" still pages.

…rm test

When the Channels page 'Test' button reports a platform as connected but
the gateway's auth posture denies all users (no allowlists configured, no
allow-all flag set), the response was misleading — it only said 'connected'
without surfacing the deny-all state.

Fix adds  which mirrors the auth logic
from :
- Checks GATEWAY_ALLOW_ALL_USERS (global allow-all)
- Checks per-platform ALLOW_ALL_USERS flags (e.g. TELEGRAM_ALLOW_ALL_USERS)
- Checks per-platform ALLOWED_USERS allowlists (e.g. TELEGRAM_ALLOWED_USERS)
- Checks plugin platform registry for custom auth env var names
- Returns a warning string when none of the above are configured

The warning is added as a  field in the response JSON alongside
the existing  — no breaking changes to the API contract.

… the relay (gateway half) (NousResearch#85796)

* feat(relay): live-card ops — native draft streaming + task cards over the relay (gateway half)

NS-658. Three additive ops within contract v1, emitted only when the
connector's negotiated descriptor advertises them:

  {op: draft, chat_id, draft_id, content, final, metadata}
  {op: task_card, chat_id, card_id, chunks, metadata}
  {op: task_card_stop, chat_id, card_id, metadata}

The gateway side is deliberately dumb: no platform API knowledge, no new
config keys. Slack mechanics (chat.startStream/appendStream/stopStream,
per-workspace feature-gate cache, send+edit fallback) live connector-side
where the platform adapter lives in the relay model.

Semantic bridge: base send_draft is Telegram-shaped (draft clears; final
is a separate send). Slack native streaming makes the stream THE message.
The adapter tracks the open draft per chat and converts the turn-final
send() into draft(final=true) so the connector seals the stream instead
of posting a duplicate; the stream ts returns as the message identity.
A failed frame disarms interception so the edit-based fallback's real
send goes through untouched.

BEHAVIOR CHANGE (deliberate): relay supports_draft_streaming() now
requires the descriptor flag AND the draft op. Flag-only was a latent
lie — send_draft inherited NotImplementedError, so a connector setting
the flag without the op would have crashed the stream consumer's draft
path. supported_ops stays fail-open for legacy (pre-contract) ops;
draft/task_card did not exist pre-contract and must not fail open.

Task cards ride NousResearch#85476's adapter-agnostic TurnRunner seam (hasattr on
send_native_task_card_progress); supports_native_task_cards() is the
descriptor probe. Connector half + E2E harness pair follow in the gg
repo.

* fix(relay): expose native_task_cards_enabled() on the relay adapter

Live-canary finding (Alice, staging): the TurnRunner's task-card lane
probes adapter.native_task_cards_enabled() (the native Slack adapter's
opt-in contract). The relay adapter only offered
supports_native_task_cards(), so the hasattr gate failed silently and
tool progress stayed on the text path — draft streaming worked, cards
never rendered. Alias it to the descriptor probe.

* fix(relay): match task-card methods to the TurnRunner's native keyword contract

Live-canary finding #2 (Alice, staging): gateway/run.py's card lane calls
send/stop_native_task_card_progress with the NATIVE Slack adapter's
signature (tasks/title/reply_to/metadata/fallback_text, keyword-only) —
PR 85796's relay methods took a positional card_id, so every call raised
TypeError('unexpected keyword argument reply_to') in the progress task,
repeatedly killing the card publisher (and the retry loop resent the
final delivery 4-5x). Card id now derives per turn thread
(turn:<reply_to>), thread_ts anchored like draft; title/fallback_text
accepted for parity, not forwarded (plan-mode stream renders chunks).

* fix(relay): one draft stream per turn for stream-is-the-message adapters

Live-canary finding #4 (Alice, staging): the stream consumer bumps
draft_id at every tool boundary so Telegram-shaped drafts animate each
text segment as a fresh preview. On relay Slack NATIVE streaming a new
draft_id opens a brand-new chat.startStream — the user saw one frozen
message per segment (stuck streaming cursor ▉, never sealed: only the
LAST stream gets the final=true seal) plus the real final; 5-6 cumulative
snapshots per turn. Adapters that mark draft_stream_is_message keep ONE
stream per turn: tool progress lives in the native task card, and the
connector's suffix-delta falls back to whole-text append on prefix
mismatch, so segments append cleanly. Telegram-shaped drafts keep the
per-segment bump.

* fix(relay): don't seal the native stream at tool boundaries — only the turn-final does

Live-canary finding #5 (Alice; supersedes the incomplete #4 which was
necessary but not sufficient). Root cause CONFIRMED by integration trace
(test_live_cards_flow_trace.py, real consumer semantics + real adapter +
stub transport): at every tool boundary the consumer calls
_send_or_edit(finalize=True), which skips the draft path and issues a
real send(); the relay adapter's seal-interception converts THAT into
draft(final=true) — sealing the stream once per segment. Timeline showed
3 seals for a 3-segment turn: exactly the frozen cumulative ▉ snapshots
seen live (the replaced stream never gets stopStream, keeping its cursor).

Fix: for draft_stream_is_message adapters, a segment-break finalize
(finalize=True, is_turn_final=False) stays ON the draft path as another
cumulative frame; only got_done (is_turn_final=True) falls through to
send() and seals. Telegram-shaped platforms unchanged. Trace test now
pins the invariant: ONE user-visible message per turn.

* fix(relay): strip the text cursor from native draft frames

Live-canary finding #6 (Alice) — the ACTUAL duplicate-content mechanism,
confirmed by full-flow scan of both sides' code + logs. The consumer
appends its text cursor (▉) to every non-final display_text tick. The
connector's stream sender diffs CUMULATIVE frames via prefix check:
'abc▉'.startsWith → 'abc def▉' is NEVER a prefix match (the cursor sits
mid-string), so deltaFor falls back to whole-text append on EVERY tick —
chat.appendStream stacks each full cumulative snapshot (cursor included)
into the ONE stream message. Exactly the observed thread: repeated
blocks, each ending in a frozen ▉, growing per tick.

Fixes #4/#5 were real (one stream per turn now) but this was the last
mechanism standing. Native streams render their own typing indicator, so
the text cursor is pure noise on this path: strip it from draft frames.
Prefix check now holds; every tick appends only its true suffix delta.

* fix(relay): seal-interception covers EVERY egress door, not just send()

Live-canary finding #7 (Alice): one duplication remained after #6 — the
stream froze mid-word with the live indicator (never sealed) and the
final posted as a separate message. Log receipt: 'Queued follow-up:
final text delivery confirmed; delivering explicit media before
continuing' — the turn's final went out via the DELIVERY RESOLVER lane
(gateway/delivery.py), which calls send_for_platform() DIRECTLY,
bypassing send() and its seal-interception. The open stream never
absorbed the final; it arrived as a plain 'send' op → chat.postMessage.

Fix: hoist the open-draft check to the top of send() (ahead of the
explicit-platform branch) AND add it to send_for_platform() — an open
native stream absorbs the turn-final regardless of which egress door it
arrives through. The stream IS the message.

* fix(relay): failed seal falls back to plain send (PR 85796 AI-review point 1)

A turn-final seal that fails at the transport must never swallow the
final answer: the stream consumer has already disabled the draft
transport for the run, so a failed _seal_open_draft returning
success=False meant the user got NOTHING. Both seal-interception sites
(send + send_for_platform) now fall through to the regular plain-send
path on seal failure, with a warning receipt. Also mitigates AI-review
point 2 (sticky _open_draft_by_chat after an abandoned turn): a stale
entry's failed seal no longer blocks the next turn's delivery.

* fix(relay): arm seal-interception optimistically; never disarm on ambiguous failure (audit G-D1)

Deep-audit defect G-D1 (HIGH): the outbound leg is at-most-once on the
wire but its ack channel is lossy — send_outbound timeout (30s) and
WS-drop 'failures' frequently mean the frame WAS delivered and the
connector stream is open. send_draft popped _open_draft_by_chat on any
failure, disarming seal-interception while the connector stream lived:
the turn-final went out as a plain send → orphaned mid-word stream +
complete duplicate final (intermittent; needs a drop/timeout inside the
draft window).

Fix: arm the entry BEFORE the transport call and keep it armed on
failure/exception. Safe in every case: sealing a non-existent stream
opens+seals a single complete message connector-side, and a truly failed
seal already falls back to plain send at both interception sites.
Stale-entry damage is self-healing (one warning + plain send).

* fix(relay): gateway-side sealed-draft tombstone — G-D1 arming must not resurrect sealed streams

Regression fix on G-D1 (live: 'worse than before' — escalating frozen
prefixes). Optimistic arming had no seal-awareness: a straggler frame
arriving AFTER the seal re-armed _open_draft_by_chat for the already-
sealed draft_id; the next send was converted to draft(final=true) on the
tombstoned connector key, which CLEARED the connector tombstone (final
frame = new-turn signal), re-opened a stream with cumulative content,
and left it frozen — repeating per straggler: 4-5 escalating frozen
snapshots. Mirror the connector: _sealed_draft_by_chat records the
sealed draft_id per chat (tombstoned BEFORE the seal's transport call);
send_draft for a sealed draft_id is a success no-op (content already in
the sealed message) and never arms. A new turn's fresh draft_id arms
normally.

* fix(relay): key stream/card state per (chat, turn anchor) — parallel turns must not collide (finding #10)

Live finding #10 (Alice; three concurrent turns in one flat DM): all
coordination state was keyed per CHAT on a one-active-turn assumption.
Three parallel turns produced: turn B's task card merged into turn A's
(both were card 'turn:root' — reply_to is None in flat DMs), B left
cardless, and _open/_sealed_draft_by_chat clobbered across writers (3x
duplicate finals on the last turn). Per-turn machinery was correct;
the keys were not.

Fix: _draft_key(chat, metadata) = chat + the turn's thread anchor
(inbound stamps thread_ts = event.thread_ts or ts on every top-level
message, so each turn has one even in flat DMs). draft arming, seal
tombstones, both interception sites, and the task-card id all derive
from the same anchor. New trace test pins two interleaved turns:
distinct cards, own-stream seals, no leaked plain send, no cross-turn
tombstone drops (289 tests green).

* fix(gateway): preserve cumulative native stream across tools

* fix(gateway): consumer-declared final — the seal carries the true final

Three composed fixes for the Slack live-cards duplicate-final class:

1. finish(final_text): TurnRunner passes the completed final_response
   (verifier footer, completion explainer included) as the authoritative
   finalize payload. The native-stream seal delivers the TRUE final, so
   post-stream mutation no longer forks a corrective plain send (#11).

2. Interim-send contract: commentary and segment-tail sends carry a
   gateway-internal _interim_send marker; relay seal-interception skips
   them at both egress doors. A mid-turn interim send can no longer seal
   the live stream and orphan the real final into a duplicate.

3. Queued-follow-up lane reconciles an unconfirmed final by EDITING the
   consumer's delivered message in place (sealed stream = regular
   message, chat.update live-verified); plain send only as fallback.
   This was the actual duplicate lane in the parallel canaries — every
   duplicated turn logged 'final stream delivery not confirmed; sending
   first response' (subagent-completion queued inbound), not parallelism.

Also: draft frames stay prefix-stable gateway-side (no fence-closing, no
segment state reset, no commentary reset for stream-is-the-message
adapters; MagicMock-safe 'is True' guards).

* test+docs: streaming-contract coverage completeness + maintenance guidelines

Coverage: two gaps closed on the consumer-declared-final contract —
(1) send_for_platform (the delivery-resolver egress door) honors the
_interim_send contract: no seal, marker stripped before the wire;
(2) finish(final_text) on a turn that never streamed does not adopt the
final (delivery ownership stays with the gateway's normal send path for
non-streaming models / tool-only turns).

Docs: AGENTS.md 'Known Pitfalls' gains the streaming delivery contract —
the four invariants of stream-is-the-message adapters (prefix-stable
frames, consumer-declared final, interim-send marker, reconcile-by-edit),
each traced to its live incident, plus the live-probed Slack streaming
API ground truth and the MagicMock 'is True' guard-style note.

* fix(relay): seal transport failure must never silently lose the final (review B1)

Two halves of one silent-loss path, live-probed on the review branch:

1. adapter: _seal_open_draft did not catch transport exceptions. A socket
   drop at seal time raised out of send(), skipping the fail-open plain
   send entirely. Now: retry the SAME idempotent final frame once (the
   connector's sealed-key tombstone returns the original stream ts for a
   repeated final — a retry can never open a second stream or duplicate),
   then report failure so the caller's fail-open path runs.

2. consumer: the turn-final retry (elif not _already_sent) called
   _send_or_edit with finalize=False, which re-entered the DRAFT-FRAME
   branch. Its no-op dedupe compared the adopted final against the last
   unsealed frame, matched, and returned True with ZERO transport calls —
   final_response_sent went green, delivered_final_matches reconciled,
   the gateway suppressed its fallback, and the user never received the
   answer. finalize=True keeps this retry out of the draft branch.

Regression suite: tests/gateway/test_relay_seal_failure.py (3 tests).
Mutation evidence in follow-up verification: reverting either half sends
the suite red.

* fix(relay): draft ids unique across gateway incarnations (review B3)

The relay connector tombstones sealed streams by (channel, draft_id) and
keeps up to 512 of them; they outlive the gateway process. Relay gateways
are disposable BY DESIGN (scale-to-zero), and _draft_id_counter restarted
at zero every incarnation — so the first turns after every scale-from-zero
in a recently-active channel replayed already-sealed wire identities. The
connector answered those frames straight out of the old tombstone: zero
Slack API calls, the OLD message ts returned as the new turn's identity,
the new answer silently dropped while gateway-side flags recorded success.

Seed the counter from wall-clock milliseconds at process start. Ids stay
plain ints within the existing contract op; incarnations cannot overlap
for realistic turn counts and restart gaps.

Regression: tests/gateway/test_draft_id_restart_uniqueness.py — the seed
test fails on the old code (seed 0 is not epoch-scale).

* fix(relay): stream/card state keyed per TURN, not per thread anchor (review B2)

The thread anchor is the wrong coordination identity — simultaneously:

- too coarse: two parallel turns replying INSIDE ONE Slack thread share
  thread_ts. Live-probed on the review branch: turn A's final sealed turn
  B's stream with A's content while A's own stream stayed open, and B's
  final degraded to a plain send.
- too fragile: a flat DM with no thread metadata degraded to the bare
  chat id, re-creating the original finding-#10 collision the anchor was
  meant to fix.

_draft_key now prefers the triggering inbound message id (message_id /
reply_to_message_id — per-turn by construction; the gateway's Slack
thread metadata and the consumer's send path both stamp it), falling back
to the thread anchor, then the bare chat. The consumer stamps the same
reply_to_message_id on draft frames so frames and the turn-final resolve
to one key. Task-card ids share the derivation via _card_key (one helper
for send AND stop, so the stop always hits the stream the send opened).

Legacy resolver-lane callers with placement-only metadata still seal via
_match_open_draft's fallback — but ONLY when exactly one stream is open.
With several open, an identity-less send stays a plain send: a duplicate
message is recoverable, sealing someone else's stream is not.

Regression: tests/gateway/relay/test_relay_turn_keying.py (7 tests).

* fix(relay): stream-is-the-message is a Slack semantic, gate it on the descriptor (review B4)

draft_stream_is_message was hardcoded True on the relay adapter class,
i.e. for EVERY relay platform. The base send_draft contract is
Telegram-shaped — the draft clears client-side and the final arrives as
a separate real send that becomes the history message. With the flag
forced on, any non-Slack connector advertising the draft op had its
turn-final intercepted into draft(final=true): probed on the review
branch with a telegram descriptor, the op stream was
[draft(final=false), draft(final=true)] and NO send — no history message
would ever be posted.

Gate the flag on the negotiated descriptor platform (slack), and skip
arming seal-interception entirely when it is off. A future platform with
genuine stream-is-the-message native streaming should advertise it via
the descriptor rather than widening the platform check by guesswork.

Regression: tests/gateway/relay/test_relay_stream_semantics_gating.py
(4 tests: gating both ways, telegram final is a real send, slack final
still seals).

* fix(gateway): mark every mid-turn status lane interim — heartbeats must not seal the stream (review B5)

Seal-interception treats the first unmarked send to an armed (chat, turn)
key as the turn-final. The consumer's own interim lanes (commentary, tail
flush) carry _interim_send, but four gateway-side lanes that fire DURING
a streaming turn did not:

- long-running heartbeat (default every 180s — probed live: at 3 minutes
  it sealed the live stream with '⏳ Working — 3 min', the real final
  posted as a duplicate, and later frames were silently swallowed by the
  seal tombstone)
- inactivity warning
- plain-text approval fallback (button lane failed)
- background-review notice

Add _interim_metadata() beside _non_conversational_metadata and wrap all
four call sites. The marker is gateway-internal; the relay adapter strips
it before the wire (existing behavior, pinned by test).

Note for follow-up: the opt-out shape remains fragile — any FUTURE
unmarked mid-turn send lane re-creates this bug. Inverting the contract
(explicitly mark the one turn-final send) is the durable fix but touches
every adapter's final-delivery path; deliberately kept out of this
review-fix series.

Regression: tests/gateway/test_interim_send_lanes.py (4 tests).

* fix(gateway): interrupted/incomplete turns must not adopt the diagnostic as the stream final (review B6)

The finish(final_text) adoption gate checked only 'not failed', but the
interrupt/abort returns in agent/conversation_loop.py are
{completed: False, interrupted: True, final_response: 'Operation
interrupted during …'} with NO failed key. Adopting that diagnostic:

1. sealed the user's streamed partial answer over with the interrupt
   text (stream-is-the-message: the seal rewrites the whole message), and
2. recorded the diagnostic as the turn-final payload, so
   delivered_final_matches reconciled and the gateway suppressed its own
   error-delivery path — the diagnostic became the ONLY thing delivered.

Enumerated all 27 final_response-bearing return shapes in
conversation_loop.py: every non-happy-path shape carries completed:
False (several with a diagnostic final_response and neither failed nor
interrupted — retry exhaustion, truncation, codex-incomplete); the happy
path routes through turn_finalizer.finalize_turn (completed=True). Gate
is therefore: not failed AND not interrupted AND completed is not False.
Results lacking the completed key entirely (older callers/test doubles)
keep the previous behavior.

Regression: tests/gateway/test_stream_final_adoption_gate.py (6 tests,
incl. a source-level pin on the run.py call site).

* fix(relay): task-card transport failures degrade to failed SendResults (review B7)

send_native_task_card_progress and stop_native_task_card_progress let
transport exceptions escape. The stop runs inside the progress loop's
finally block on the turn-cleanup path, and the post-cancel awaits in
gateway/run.py caught only CancelledError — a socket drop during a card
publish/stop therefore aborted cleanup BEFORE the final-delivery
bookkeeping ran.

Three layers, outermost defends any adapter:
- both adapter methods catch transport exceptions and return failed
  SendResults (progress is advisory; the TurnRunner's text fallback
  already handles failure results)
- the progress loop's finally wraps the stop (best-effort; the connector
  seals orphaned card streams on its own via recycling/eviction)
- the cleanup awaits log-and-continue on non-cancellation errors so
  final-delivery bookkeeping always runs

Regression: tests/gateway/relay/test_relay_task_card_failures.py.

* fix(relay): a dying turn seals its native stream instead of orphaning it (review B8)

Stale-generation exits (/new, /stop mid-stream) and cancellations
returned from the consumer's run() with the native stream still open:

- the Slack message kept its live streaming indicator forever (the
  cancellation best-effort edit only runs when _message_id exists, and
  the native draft path deliberately keeps it None);
- the adapter's armed interception state survived the turn, so the next
  turn on the same key could inherit it and seal a dead draft_id.

New adapter op abandon_open_draft(chat, content): seals in place with
the text already on screen (the consumer passes its last delivered
frame) — the seal adds nothing and claims nothing; delivery flags are
never set, so the gateway's normal paths still own whatever happens
next. Best-effort by contract (failure reported, never raised); the
connector reaps truly orphaned streams via recycling/eviction.

The consumer calls it from both death paths: the stale-generation early
return and the CancelledError handler.

Regression: tests/gateway/test_stream_abandon_on_turn_death.py (4 tests,
incl. the next-turn-inheritance hazard).

* fix(relay): bound the draft/seal coordination dicts (review M1)

_sealed_draft_by_chat's key embeds a per-turn identity, so every
completed turn wrote a permanent entry — unbounded growth for the life
of a long-running gateway process (the docstring said 'one entry per
chat', which stopped being true when the key gained the turn anchor).
_open_draft_by_chat could grow the same way via abandoned entries.

FIFO-evict both at 512 entries — the same idiom as the sibling bounded
cache (_auto_thread_by_chat, capped at 256) and the same size as the
connector's own tombstone store. The straggler window the tombstone
exists for is seconds long; FIFO is more than enough.

Regression: tests/gateway/relay/test_relay_state_bounds.py.

* fix(relay): explicit connector rejection disarms interception; exceptions stay armed (review P3)

The G-D1 optimistic-arming change silently dropped disarm-on-failure
entirely: after an EXPLICIT connector rejection (success=False result —
not a transport ambiguity), interception stayed armed even though the
stream consumer disables the draft transport on that failure and falls
back to edit-based streaming. Its turn-final would then be converted
into a seal on a stream the connector just told us is unusable.
test_draft_failure_result_propagates claimed to cover this ('must NOT
leave seal-interception armed') but passed for an unrelated reason: the
stub's canned failure also failed the SEAL, whose fail-open path did the
plain send.

Split the two semantics and pin each honestly:
- explicit rejection (result success=False): disarm — turn-final is a
  real send (test_draft_failure_result_propagates, now testing what its
  comment says)
- transport exception: ambiguous, stay armed — turn-final still seals
  (test_draft_transport_exception_keeps_interception_armed, the G-D1
  contract)

Also corrects commit ba3a24a's claim ('a failed frame disarms
interception so the edit-based fallback's real send goes through
untouched') to hold again for the rejection case it described.

* fix(relay): lost acks are ambiguous, not rejections — on the RESULT channel too (review r2, finding 1)

The production ws transport does not raise on ack timeout — it returns
{"success": False, "error": "relay outbound timed out"}. The round-1
ambiguity handling keyed entirely on the exception channel, so the shape
production actually produces was misclassified as a definite connector
rejection. Probed on the head:

- lost SEAL ack: skipped the idempotent retry, fell straight to a plain
  send — duplicate final whenever the seal had actually applied;
- lost FRAME ack: the round-1 disarm-on-rejection fired — interception
  disarmed, frozen native stream beside a plain final. This re-created
  the original G-D1 ambiguous-ack defect on the result channel.

Contract now spans both channels:

- transport: the ack-timeout branch tags ambiguous=True. The fail-fast
  branches (closing / not connected) never sent anything and stay
  unmarked — they are definite non-delivery.
- adapter frame path: ambiguous results keep interception armed (same
  as exceptions); only definite rejections disarm.
- adapter seal path: one shared _attempt() classifier — exception and
  ambiguous result both mean "unknown"; the SAME idempotent frame is
  retried once (connector tombstone returns the original stream ts for
  a repeated final). Only after both attempts stay ambiguous does the
  caller's fail-open plain send run: a possible duplicate after double
  ack loss beats a silent loss, and double ack loss on one socket
  almost always means the transport is down for the plain send too.

Regression: tests/gateway/relay/test_relay_ack_ambiguity.py (6 tests,
incl. a source-of-truth check that the transport tags the timeout branch
and leaves fail-fast branches unmarked).

* fix(relay): stream semantics + draft capability resolve per CHAT, not per primary (review r2, finding 2)

One RelayAdapter fronts N platforms (Phase 1.5): descriptors accumulate
per platform on the transport and egress is tagged per chat — but the
round-1 gate keyed draft_stream_is_message and supports_draft_streaming()
off the PRIMARY scalar descriptor. Probed on the head:

- Slack primary + Telegram chat: the Telegram chat's turn-final was
  intercepted into draft(final=true) — no real Telegram history message;
- Telegram primary + Slack chat: the Slack chat was denied native
  streaming entirely.

Resolve both through _descriptor_for_chat — the same per-chat machinery
max_message_length already uses (added for the identical class of bug:
the primary's 39000-char cap over-sending into Discord 400s):

- new stream_is_message_for_chat(chat_id) on the adapter; arming and
  NotImplementedError gating use it. The class attribute remains as the
  single-platform value and legacy-probe fallback.
- supports_draft_streaming() gains an optional chat_id kwarg (base
  signature updated; single-platform adapters ignore it). The consumer
  passes chat_id with a TypeError fallback for out-of-tree adapters.
- the consumer's four draft_stream_is_message reads collapse into one
  _stream_is_message() helper that prefers the per-chat probe
  (class-resolved, MagicMock-safe) over the attribute.

Platform-name inference ("slack") stays deliberate: a descriptor-level
semantic field is the right eventual contract but is a cross-repo wire
change — noted for the gg follow-up so future platforms advertise the
semantic explicitly.

Regression: tests/gateway/relay/test_relay_multiplatform_semantics.py
(5 tests: both starvation directions, scalar fallback, per-chat
capability gate).

* fix(gateway): split delivery + authoritative footer reconciles by suffix, not full resend (review r2, finding 3)

The _FINAL_TEXT adoption guard refuses wholesale adoption on split turns
— correct (NousResearch#78541: sealed heads would repeat inside the tail) but it was
absolute: a post-split verifier footer never entered the ledger,
delivered_final_matches() reported a mismatch, and the gateway resent
the ENTIRE body+footer after the split chunks (the #11 duplicate class,
one level up).

When the authoritative final strictly prefix-extends the split ledger,
the missing suffix is the only undelivered content: append it to the
live tail and the ledger, so the finalize carries it and the recorded
payload reconciles. Non-prefix rewrites keep the full-resend fallback —
a rewrite cannot be patched onto sealed heads.

Regression: tests/gateway/test_split_final_suffix_reconcile.py (3 tests:
suffix rides the tail + reconciles, rewrite still mismatches, unsplit
adoption unchanged).

* fix(relay): cancellation mid-seal restores open state so abandon can close the stream (review r2, finding 4)

_seal_open_draft pops the open entry and writes the local tombstone
BEFORE awaiting transport I/O — correct ordering for the straggler race,
but CancelledError is not an Exception: a cancel during the await
bypassed all failure handling, leaving the remote stream live (visible
streaming indicator until connector eviction) while the local state said
'nothing open'. The consumer's abandon pass — added for exactly this
turn-death case — found nothing to close and no-oped.

On CancelledError: restore the open entry, drop the premature tombstone
(only if it is still ours), re-raise. The abandon path then seals the
stream in place with the on-screen text.

Regression: tests/gateway/relay/test_relay_seal_cancellation.py (2
tests: state restoration, and end-to-end cancel→abandon→remote seal).

* fix(relay): thread anchors are placement, not turn identity — revive the placement-only fallback (review r2, finding 5)

_match_open_draft's single-open-stream fallback was dead for its primary
intended callers: metadata carrying thread_ts/thread_id (placement-only
resolver lanes) was classified as having 'turn identity', so those sends
never reached the fallback — probed: a plain final posted beside the
still-open turn-keyed stream.

Only per-turn MESSAGE ids are identity now. Thread-anchored and bare
callers share the fallback: absorb into the chat's open stream when
EXACTLY one is open; stay a plain send when several are (duplicate is
recoverable, wrong-stream seal is not). Callers WITH a message id whose
key misses never fall back — their identity is authoritative and a miss
means the stream belongs to a different turn.

Regression: 4 new tests in test_relay_turn_keying.py (thread-anchored
seal, both ambiguous-stay-plain shapes, id-mismatch never steals).

* fix(relay): random process nonce for draft-id seeding (review r2, follow-up 6)

The epoch-millisecond seed (round-1 B3 fix) mitigates the restart-replay
class but is not a uniqueness guarantee: two gateways starting in the
same millisecond, a forked process inheriting the class state, or a
clock step backwards can all mint colliding wire identities against the
connector's per-(channel, draft_id) tombstone store.

Seed from secrets.randbits(49) instead: collision probability negligible,
no clock dependence, and ids + realistic per-process turn counts stay
comfortably inside the connector's JS number range (draft_id?: number,
2^53). Regression test now spawns two real interpreters and asserts
their seeds differ — the exact scale-to-zero restart shape, and both
start within the same second so a clock-locked seed would fail it.

* fix(relay): stamp per-turn Slack egress identity — cache is fallback only (R3-5)

The connector (gateway-gateway#210) fills chat.startStream's
recipient_user_id / recipient_team_id — required by Slack when
streaming to a channel — from metadata.user_id / metadata.scope_id.
The gateway stamped only slack_team_id per-turn and left user_id (and
scope_id) to RelayAdapter._with_scope, whose per-chat caches are keyed
on chat_id alone and overwritten by every inbound message: with users
U1 and U2 running overlapping turns in one channel, U2's arrival
overwrote the cache before U1's stream opened, and U1's stream carried
U2 as recipient_user_id.

_thread_metadata_for_source now stamps scope_id and user_id from the
turn's OWN source (setdefault — explicit values win), so identity is
turn-scoped data on the wire. _with_scope is unchanged and fill-only:
the caches keep serving restart/synthetic sends that carry no per-turn
identity, which is all they were ever safe for.

Mutation evidence: reverting the run.py hunk sends
test_thread_metadata_stamps_per_turn_user_and_scope and
test_concurrent_turns_carry_their_own_identity red; restore returns
green. The _with_scope fill-only tests pass on both trees (existing
correct behavior, now pinned against regression).
