fix(stream-retry): collapse two-line drop status, name provider, and let agent.log capture diagnostics (#22993)
Subagent stream drops were spamming the parent terminal with two lines
per blip ('Connection dropped...' + 'Reconnected...') while leaving zero
breadcrumb in agent.log to debug them.
Two underlying bugs, fixed together:
1. quiet_mode raised the run_agent/tools/etc. loggers to ERROR, which
filters records before root-logger file handlers see them. The comment
claimed 'File handlers still capture everything' — that was wrong.
Removed in both run_agent.py and cli.py; console quietness already
comes from hermes_logging not installing a console StreamHandler in
non-verbose mode.
2. The stream-retry blocks emitted two _emit_status calls per drop
('⚠️ Connection dropped... Reconnecting...' + '🔄 Reconnected —
resuming…') with no provider name, so multi-provider sessions had to
dig through agent.log to attribute a drop. Replaced both call sites
with a single _emit_stream_drop helper that emits ONE line naming the
provider and error class, and always writes a structured WARNING to
agent.log with subagent_id, depth, provider, base_url, error_type.
Net UX change: 6 lines per triple-subagent drop → 3 lines, each
naming the provider. agent.log now has a structured breadcrumb per
retry that didn't exist before.
Tests: 6 new tests in tests/run_agent/test_stream_drop_logging.py
covering the logger-level guard, structured WARNING content, single
status line per drop (no Reconnected follow-up), and provider naming.

feat(vision): vision_analyze returns pixels to vision-capable models, not aux text (#22955)
When the active main model has native vision and the provider supports multimodal tool results (Anthropic, OpenAI Chat, Codex Responses, Gemini 3, OpenRouter, Nous), vision_analyze loads the image bytes and returns them to the model as a multimodal tool-result envelope. The model then sees the pixels directly on its next turn instead of receiving a lossy text description from an auxiliary LLM. Falls back to the legacy aux-LLM text path for non-vision models and unverified providers. Mirrors the architecture used in OpenCode, Claude Code, Codex CLI, and Cline. All four converge on the same pattern: tool results carry image content blocks for vision-capable provider/model combinations. Changes - tools/vision_tools.py: _vision_analyze_native fast path + provider capability table (_supports_media_in_tool_results). Schema description updated to reflect new behaviour. - agent/codex_responses_adapter.py: function_call_output.output now accepts the array form for multimodal tool results (was string-only). Preflight validates input_text/input_image parts. - agent/auxiliary_client.py: _RUNTIME_MAIN_PROVIDER/_MODEL globals so tools see the live CLI/gateway override, not the stale config.yaml default. set_runtime_main()/clear_runtime_main() helpers. - run_agent.py: AIAgent.run_conversation calls set_runtime_main at turn start so vision_analyze's fast-path check sees the actual runtime. - tests/conftest.py: clear runtime-main override between tests. Tests - tests/tools/test_vision_native_fast_path.py: provider capability table, envelope shape, fast-path gating (vision-capable model uses fast path; non-vision model falls through to aux). - tests/run_agent/test_codex_multimodal_tool_result.py: list tool content becomes function_call_output.output array; preflight preserves arrays and drops unknown part types. Live verified - Opus 4.6 + Sonnet 4.6 on OpenRouter: model calls vision_analyze on a typed filepath, gets pixels back, reads exact text from images that no aux description could capture (font color irony, multi-line fruit-count list, etc.). PR replaces the closed prior efforts (#16506 shipped the inbound user- attached path; this PR closes the gap for tool-discovered images). |

docs(user-stories): add 18 verified social entries (99 → 117) (#22920)
Found 18 real Hermes-Agent stories from HN, X, and Reddit not yet captured on the page. All URLs HTTP-verified to return 200 with matching titles. Reddit (15): r/hermesagent (Obsidian-as-memory writeup at 794 upvotes, LLM cheatsheet at 635 upvotes, Kanban game-changer post, OpenRouter #1 ranking, AMA from the Nous team, etc.); r/LocalLLaMA, r/Rag, r/openclaw, r/SideProject, r/LocalLLM threads where users describe their actual setups (Qwen3.5-9b on 16gb VRAM, 5060Ti + Telegram, smart routing tiers). X (3): @vmiss33's 'what I use Hermes for' guide, @HeyYanvi's X-to-NotebookLM podcast workflow, @ExileAI_0's spare-laptop Iris running RenPy + ComfyUI, @brucexu_eth's Hermes Inc. Telegram startup sim from the hackathon, Hype's deep-dive blog. HN (1): 'I'm using Hermes — sandbox it like any agent.' No component changes — all new entries fit the existing schema (real URL, real author, real date). |

fix(tool-result-storage): persist via stdin to bypass 128 KB exec-arg cap (#22913)
Linux's MAX_ARG_STRLEN caps any single argv element at 128 KB (32 * PAGE_SIZE). The previous heredoc-in-the-command-string approach in _write_to_sandbox put the entire tool result inside the 'bash -c' arg, so any result over ~128 KB raised OSError [Errno 7] 'Argument list too long' before the heredoc ever ran. The caller logged a warning, but quiet_mode (CLI default) sets tools.* to ERROR — so the warning never reached agent.log either, and the agent saw a 1.5 KB preview tagged 'Full output could not be saved to sandbox'. Hits delegate_task with 3+ subagent outputs routinely now. Switch to passing content via env.execute(stdin_data=...). cmd is now just 'mkdir -p X && cat > Y' (under 1 KB), and the heavyweight payload travels through stdin where there is no argv-element limit. E2E reproduced the user's exact 144,778-char delegate_task envelope: old code OSError'd, new code round-trips cleanly to disk with all three task summaries intact. |

chore(skills): move heavy training skills + outlines to optional-skills (#22912)
These skills require heavy GPU/CUDA stacks or are niche enough that they shouldn't be active by default. Moved to optional-skills/ where users opt-in via `hermes skills install official/...`. Moved: - mlops/training/axolotl - mlops/training/trl-fine-tuning - mlops/training/unsloth - mlops/inference/outlines Counts: 91 -> 87 built-in, 72 -> 76 optional. Auto-regenerated docs (per-skill pages + catalogs) reflect the move. |

feat(curator): show rename map in user-visible summary (#22910)
* feat(curator): show rename map (where skills went) in user-visible summary
The full data has always been on disk in REPORT.md, but the user-visible
curator summary (gateway 💾 line, CLI session-start panel,
`hermes curator status`) was counts-only — "consolidated 4 into 2
umbrellas" with no names. Users only discovered renames when something
they expected was gone.
New `_build_rename_summary()` formats the rename map and appends it to
`final_summary`:
auto: 1 marked stale; llm: consolidated 2 into 1, pruned 1
archived 3 skill(s):
• docx-extraction → document-tools
• pdf-extraction → document-tools
• old-stale-thing — pruned (stale)
full report: hermes curator status
Empty on no-op ticks (no archives), so most ticks add zero log noise.
Cap of 10 entries keeps agent.log readable when a 50-skill
consolidation lands; the full list is always in REPORT.md.
`hermes curator status` indents continuation lines so the multi-line
summary reads as one logical field.
5 new tests in tests/agent/test_curator_classification.py covering
empty / consolidation / pruning / cap / mixed cases.
* feat(curator): show recent run summary once on `hermes update`
The rename map is now visible from where users actually look — the
update flow they explicitly run, instead of just the live gateway log
or transient CLI session-start panel.
Behavior:
- After `hermes update`, if the most recent curator run produced a
rename map (multi-line summary) that the user hasn't seen yet, print
it once with a 'last run Xh ago' header and a one-time-message
footer.
- Stamp `last_run_summary_shown_at = last_run_at` after printing so
subsequent `hermes update` invocations are silent until a newer
curator run lands.
- Silent on no-op runs (single-line summary like 'auto: no changes;
llm: no change'). Still stamps shown so we don't reconsider on
every update.
- Silent when the curator has never run (the existing first-run
notice handles that case).
Output:
ℹ Skill curator — last run 4h ago
auto: 1 marked stale; llm: consolidated 2 into 1, pruned 1
archived 3 skill(s):
• docx-extraction → document-tools
• pdf-extraction → document-tools
• old-stale-thing — pruned (stale)
full report: hermes curator status
(This message shows once per curator run. View anytime: hermes curator status)
State migration:
- `_default_state()` gains `last_run_summary_shown_at: None`. Existing
state files lack the field; `.get()` returns None; the comparison
treats any prior run as 'not yet shown' and prints once on next
update. Self-healing.
Wiring:
- Both `hermes update` paths in main.py call the new
`_print_curator_recent_run_notice()` right after the existing
first-run notice. Best-effort try/except so a state-load bug
never breaks the update flow.
6 tests in tests/hermes_cli/test_curator_recent_run_notice.py:
no-run / single-line / multi-line / show-once / new-run-resets /
time-formatter buckets.

perf(cli): skip welcome banner on chat -q single-query mode (#22904)
`hermes chat -q "..."` printed the full welcome banner before running the query — kawaii ASCII logo, available toolsets list, available skills list, model name, session ID, working directory, update-available notice. Building it took ~420 ms on cold start (~200 ms version-update probe, the rest is toolset / skill enumeration plus Rich panel rendering). For a one-shot `-q` query the banner is noise: the user already picked the prompt, doesn't need a toolset reference, and gets the session ID + resume hint from `_print_exit_summary()` after the response prints. The fully-quiet `-Q` / `--quiet` machine-readable path was already banner-free; this brings the human-facing single-query path in line so all non-interactive invocations are fast. Measured impact (`hermes chat -q "ok" --max-turns 1`, 10-run percentiles, 9950X3D): median: 1.90 → 1.75 s (-150 ms) min: 1.80 → 1.73 s ( -70 ms) P25: 1.82 → 1.74 s ( -80 ms) Wider variance than expected; the banner cost overlaps with API latency on real `chat -q` runs. Min-time delta of 70 ms is the cleanest signal — that's the deterministic banner-build cost gone. The 150 ms median delta picks up cases where the version-update probe also finishes during the wait. Interactive mode (`hermes` with no `-q`) and the `--list-tools` / `--list-toolsets` one-shot listing commands still show the banner — those are the contexts where it's actually wanted. Tests: 656/656 `tests/cli/` pass on top of latest main (modulo 5 pre- existing flakes in `test_cli_save_config_value.py` that fail with `No module named 'ruamel'` both with and without this change). |

feat(docs): richer info panels on the Skills Hub for built-in + optional skills (#22905)
The Skills Hub at /skills had cards that, when expanded, showed only the
one-line description, tags, author, version, and an install command. For
the 163 bundled and optional skills shipped with the repo, this was thinner
than the data we already have on disk.
Three changes, all under website/:
1. extract-skills.py now pulls four extra fields per local skill:
- 'overview' — first non-heading body paragraph from SKILL.md (stripped
of admonitions/code fences, capped at ~500 chars at a sentence boundary)
- 'envVars' / 'commands' — from the prerequisites: block in frontmatter
- 'license' — from the top-level frontmatter
- 'docsPath' — slug to the per-skill /docs/user-guide/skills/.../* page,
computed with the same logic as generate-skill-docs.py
162 of 163 local skills get a non-empty overview automatically. The
remaining one (media/heartmula) has only headings/code in its body and
falls through to the description.
2. Skill TS interface + SkillCard expanded-panel render the new fields:
- Overview paragraph at the top of the panel
- Prerequisites box (env vars + required commands) when frontmatter
declares them
- License row alongside author/version
- 'View full documentation →' link to the per-skill docs page
Search now covers the overview text too, so users can find skills by
matching content from inside SKILL.md, not just the one-line description.
3. styles.module.css gains six new classes (overviewBlock, detailLabel,
overviewText, prereqBlock/Row/Kind/List/Item, docsLink) styled to match
the existing dark panel aesthetic.
External / community skills (Anthropic, LobeHub, Claude Marketplace cached
indexes) keep the old behavior — overview is empty, no prereqs, no docsPath.
Validation: 'npm run build' clean (exit 0); broken-link count unchanged at
155 baseline; all 163 generated docsPath values resolve to existing pages
under website/docs/user-guide/skills/.

fix(test_gateway): stop run_gateway() tests from rewriting the dev's installed systemd unit (#22900)
run_gateway() calls refresh_systemd_unit_if_needed() on every invocation so restart settings stay current after exit-code-75 respawns. The user-scope unit path resolves under Path.home() (NOT sandboxed by conftest, only HERMES_HOME is), and generate_systemd_unit() bakes the current HERMES_HOME into the unit's Environment= line. Result: any test that exercises run_gateway() end-to-end on a real Linux dev box silently rewrites the developer's installed ~/.config/systemd/user/hermes-gateway.service with a polluted HERMES_HOME pointing at /tmp/pytest-of-<user>/.../hermes_test. On the next reboot, systemd loads that unit, the gateway starts looking at an empty tmp dir, and Telegram/Discord/etc. all show as 'No messaging platforms enabled' even though the user's real config is fine. Three tests in tests/hermes_cli/test_gateway.py hit this path: test_run_gateway_exits_cleanly_on_keyboard_interrupt, test_run_gateway_exits_nonzero_when_start_gateway_reports_failure, and test_run_gateway_root_guard_has_escape_hatch. Two-layer fix: 1. _install_fake_gateway_run helper (covers all four run_gateway() call sites in test_gateway.py and any future ones) now also stubs supports_systemd_services and refresh_systemd_unit_if_needed. 2. refresh_systemd_unit_if_needed() itself sniffs the generated unit body for /pytest-of- and /hermes_test markers and refuses to write when present. Defense in depth so a future test that bypasses the helper still can't corrupt the dev's gateway. Tests that legitimately exercise the refresh flow (test_run_gateway_refreshes_outdated_unit_on_boot) patch generate_systemd_unit to return synthetic content that doesn't carry those markers, so they keep working. Adds test_refresh_refuses_to_bake_pytest_tmpdir_into_real_user_unit as a regression test for the source-side guard. |

fix(install): also patch psutil on Termux fresh-install path
The Termux update path (PR #22814) prebuilds psutil from a marker-patched sdist so 'platform android is not supported' doesn't kill it. The same psutil setup.py error blocks fresh installs via scripts/install.sh — only the update path was wired up. Without this, a brand-new Termux user can't get past the very first 'pip install -e .[termux-all]' call. - New scripts/install_psutil_android.py — standalone version of the same patcher hermes_cli/main.py uses, callable from bash. - scripts/install.sh detects sys.platform == 'android' and runs the patcher before pip install. - TODO note added to both copies pointing at upstream https://github.com/giampaolo/psutil/pull/2762; remove both when that ships. Note: we keep psutil as a base dep on Android (do not adopt the proposed sys_platform != 'android' marker in pyproject). Removing it would crash five unguarded 'import psutil' sites at runtime (tools/code_execution_tool.py, tools/tts_tool.py, tools/process_registry.py (2x), gateway/platforms/whatsapp.py). |

perf(image_gen): defer fal_client import to first generation request (#22859)
`tools/image_generation_tool.py` did `import fal_client` at module
top, which pulled the entire fal_client + httpx + rich stack on every
process that ran `discover_builtin_tools()` — every `hermes` cold
start, even ones that never touch image generation.
Make the import lazy: replace the eager import with a placeholder
(`fal_client: Any = None`) and add an idempotent `_load_fal_client()`
that rebinds the module global on first use. Call it from the two
runtime entry points (`_ManagedFalSyncClient.__init__` and
`_submit_fal_request`) and from the SDK-presence check in
`check_image_generation_requirements`.
The loader short-circuits if the global is already truthy, which
preserves the test pattern of monkeypatching `fal_client` to install
a mock — the `monkeypatch.setattr(image_tool, "fal_client", ...)`
calls in test_image_generation.py keep working unchanged.
Measured impact (15-run min times, 9950X3D):
tools.image_generation_tool alone: 77 → 20 ms (-74%)
36 → 20 MB (-44%)
import cli (full): 734 → 720 ms (-2%)
import model_tools: 372 → 366 ms (-2%)
The microbench is dramatic but the full-CLI win is small — fal_client
shares its httpx + rich dependencies with the rest of the agent, so
on a real cold start most of the 16 MB / 64 ms is already paid by
other imports. The win matters mostly for processes that touch this
tool without otherwise loading httpx (rare) and for architectural
consistency with the previous lazy-load PRs (#22681 google_chat,
#22831 teams).
Tests: 55/55 `tests/tools/test_image_generation.py` pass, including
the cases that monkeypatch the module global to install a mock
fal_client. End-to-end verification confirms `import model_tools`
no longer pulls `fal_client` into `sys.modules`.

docs: round 2 audit — messaging, developer-guide, guides, integrations (#22858)
Cross-checked 75 docs pages under user-guide/messaging/, developer-guide/,
guides/, and integrations/ against the live registries and gateway code.
messaging/
- index.md: API Server toolset is hermes-api-server (was 'hermes (default)');
Google Chat slug is hermes-google_chat (underscore — plugin name uses _).
- google_chat.md: drop bogus 'pip install hermes-agent[google_chat]' (no such
extra); list the actual deps (google-cloud-pubsub, google-api-python-client,
google-auth, google-auth-oauthlib).
- qqbot.md: config namespace is platforms.qqbot (was platforms.qq, which is
silently ignored by the adapter); QQ_STT_BASE_URL is not read directly —
baseUrl lives under platforms.qqbot.extra.stt.
- teams-meetings.md: 'hermes teams-pipeline' is plugin-gated (teams_pipeline
plugin must be enabled), not a built-in subcommand.
- sms.md: example log line 0.0.0.0:8080 -> 127.0.0.1:8080 (default
SMS_WEBHOOK_HOST).
- open-webui.md: API_SERVER_* are env vars, not YAML keys — write them to
per-profile .env, not 'hermes config set' (same pattern fixed in
api-server.md last round). Also bumped example ports to 8650+ to dodge the
default webhook (8644)/wecom-callback (8645)/msgraph-webhook (8646)
collision.
developer-guide/
- architecture.md: tool/toolset counts (61/52 -> 70+/~28); LOC stamps for
run_agent.py, cli.py, hermes_cli/main.py, setup.py, mcp_tool.py,
gateway/run.py replaced with 'large file' to stop drifting.
- agent-loop.md: same LOC drift (~13,700 -> 'a large file (15k+ lines)').
- gateway-internals.md: '14+ external messaging platforms' -> '20+'; gateway
platform tree updated (qqbot is a sub-package, not qqbot.py; added
yuanbao.py, feishu_comment.py, msgraph_webhook.py); 'gateway/builtin_hooks/
(always active)' was wrong — it's an empty extension point and
_register_builtin_hooks() is a no-op stub.
- acp-internals.md: drop fictional 'message_callback' from the bridged-
callbacks list; clarify thinking_callback is currently set to None.
- provider-runtime.md: provider list was missing AWS Bedrock, Azure Foundry,
NVIDIA NIM, xAI, Arcee, GMI Cloud, StepFun, Qwen OAuth, Xiaomi, Ollama
Cloud, LM Studio, Tencent TokenHub. Fallback section described only the
legacy single-pair model — corrected to the canonical list-form
fallback_providers chain.
- environments.md: parsers list missing llama4_json and the deepseek_v31
alias; both register via @register_parser.
- browser-supervisor.md: drop reference to scripts/browser_supervisor_e2e.py
which doesn't exist in-repo.
- contributing.md: tinker-atropos is a git submodule — note that
'git submodule update --init' is required if cloning without
--recurse-submodules.
guides/
- operate-teams-meeting-pipeline.md: cron flags were all wrong — schedule is
positional (not --schedule), the script-only flag is --no-agent (not
--script-only), and there's no --command flag. Replaced with a real example
that creates the script under ~/.hermes/scripts/ and uses the actual flags.
Also replaced fictional 'hermes cron show <name>' with 'hermes cron status'.
- automation-templates.md: 'cron create --skills "a,b"' doesn't work —
the flag is --skill (singular, repeatable). Fixed all 5 occurrences via AST
rewrite.
- minimax-oauth.md: 'hermes auth add minimax-oauth --region cn' silently
fails because --region isn't registered on the auth-add argparse spec.
Pointed users at the minimax-cn provider (or MINIMAX_CN_API_KEY env) for
China-region access.
- cron-script-only.md: 'hermes send' is fictional — replaced the comparison-
table mention with a webhook-subscription pointer; also fixed the dead link
to /guides/pipe-script-output (page doesn't exist).
- cron-troubleshooting.md: 'hermes serve' isn't a real subcommand. Pointed
at 'hermes gateway' (foreground) / 'hermes gateway start' (service).
- local-ollama-setup.md: 'agent.api_timeout' is not a config key. The right
knob is the HERMES_API_TIMEOUT env var.
- python-library.md: run_conversation() return dict has only final_response
and messages — task_id is stored on the agent instance, not echoed back.
- use-mcp-with-hermes.md: '--args /c "npx -y …"' wraps the npx command in
one quoted string, so cmd.exe gets a single arg instead of the multi-token
command line it needs. Removed the surrounding quotes — argparse nargs='*'
collects each token correctly.
integrations/
- providers.md: Bedrock guardrail YAML keys were 'id'/'version' (don't exist);
actual keys are guardrail_identifier/guardrail_version (matches DEFAULT_CONFIG
and the run_agent.py reader). GMI default base URL (api.gmi.ai/v1 ->
api.gmi-serving.com/v1) and portal URL (inference.gmi.ai -> www.gmicloud.ai)
refreshed. Fallback section rewritten to lead with the canonical
fallback_providers list form (was leading with the legacy fallback_model
single dict); supported-providers list extended to include azure-foundry,
alibaba-coding-plan, lmstudio.
index.md
- '68 built-in tools' -> '70+'; '15+ platforms' was both inconsistent with
integrations/index.md ('19+') and undercounted — bumped to 20+ and added
Weixin/QQ Bot/Yuanbao/Google Chat to the list.
Validation: 'npm run build' clean (exit 0); broken-link count unchanged at
155 (same as round-1 post-skill-regen baseline). 24 files, +132/-89.

docs(openrouter): document auxiliary.<task>.extra_body for OR routing and Pareto (#22844)
The plumbing for setting OpenRouter provider preferences and the Pareto Code router on auxiliary tasks already exists — auxiliary.<task>.extra_body is forwarded verbatim by call_llm() / async_call_llm(). It just wasn't documented, so users who wanted (e.g.) Pareto Code routing for compression but the strongest coder for the main agent had no way to discover the escape hatch. - hermes_cli/config.py: expand the auxiliary section header with a YAML example showing provider routing plus plugins under extra_body, and an explicit note that main-agent provider_routing / openrouter.min_coding_score do NOT propagate to aux calls (each task is independent by design) - website/docs/user-guide/configuration.md: new 'OpenRouter routing and Pareto Code for auxiliary tasks' subsection with worked example - website/docs/integrations/providers.md: cross-link from the Pareto Code Router section to the aux-side doc E2E verified that auxiliary.<task>.extra_body reaches the OpenRouter API with the configured provider routing and plugins blocks intact. |

fix(gateway): preserve reasoning_content, codex_message_items, finish_reason on transcript replay (#22839)
PR #2974 whitelisted three reasoning fields (reasoning, reasoning_details, codex_reasoning_items) for the gateway's simple-text replay branch. Three more fields were added to the DB later but the whitelist was never updated: - reasoning_content: provider-facing thinking text. _copy_reasoning_content_for_api promotes 'reasoning' -> 'reasoning_content' at send time only when the strings happen to match. Carrying the original verbatim avoids loss for providers that return them as distinct fields (DeepSeek/Kimi/ Moonshot thinking modes), and preserves the empty-string sentinel that DeepSeek V4 Pro requires for thinking-mode replay. - codex_message_items: exact assistant message items with 'phase'. OpenAI docs: 'preserve and resend phase on all assistant messages — dropping it can degrade performance.' Required for prefix cache hits. No recovery path exists — once dropped, gone. - finish_reason: informational; cheap to keep so transcripts replay identically across CLI and gateway. The CLI is unaffected because cli.py keeps the live in-memory message list across turns (cli.py:10046 'self.conversation_history = result["messages"]'). The gateway rebuilds agent_history from the SQLite transcript on every turn, so any field stripped during replay is silently lost. Refactors the inline whitelist into a module-level _build_replay_entry() helper so the contract can be unit-tested. 16 new tests pin the field set and falsy-value handling. Verified end-to-end: DB stores all 8 fields, replay now preserves all 8 (was preserving only 5 for assistant text turns). |

- hermes_cli/config.py: add openrouter.min_coding_score (default 0.65 — lands
on a mid-tier coder on the current Pareto frontier)
- plugins/model-providers/openrouter: emit extra_body.plugins =
[{id: pareto-router, min_coding_score: X}] when model is openrouter/pareto-code
AND the score is a valid float in [0.0, 1.0]
- agent/transports/chat_completions.py: same emission on the legacy flag
path (when no provider profile is loaded)
- run_agent.py: openrouter_min_coding_score kwarg + storage; plumbed into
both build_kwargs() invocations and the context-summary extra_body path
- cli.py: read openrouter.min_coding_score once at init, validate float in
[0,1], pass to AIAgent constructions (CLI + background-task paths)
- cron/scheduler.py, batch_runner.py, tools/delegate_tool.py,
tui_gateway/server.py: propagate the kwarg (mirrors providers_order
plumbing — subagents inherit, cron/batch read from config)
- tests: profile-level + transport-level coverage of the model gating,
unset/empty/out-of-range handling, and the legacy flag path
- docs: new 'OpenRouter Pareto Code Router' section in providers.md
Verified end-to-end against api.openrouter.ai: at score=0.65 we land on a
mid-tier coder, at omission we get the strongest. Score is silently dropped
on any model other than openrouter/pareto-code, so it's safe to leave set.

perf(teams): defer httpx import to first webhook call (#22831)
Same pattern as the google_chat lazy-load (PR #22681), applied to the Teams plugin. The bundled `plugins/platforms/teams/adapter.py` did `import httpx` at module top, which dragged the entire httpx + httpcore stack into every process that triggered plugin discovery — including `hermes` invocations that never instantiate the Teams adapter. `httpx` is only needed inside one method (`TeamsMeetingPipeline._write_summary_via_incoming_webhook`), and the `httpx.AsyncBaseTransport` parameter annotation is already string-only thanks to the existing `from __future__ import annotations`. Move the runtime import inside the method. Measured impact (7-run medians, 9950X3D): teams plugin alone: 118 → 89 ms (-25%) 46 → 38 MB (-17%) import cli (full): unchanged import model_tools: unchanged The full-CLI numbers are flat because httpx is loaded transitively from many other modules on that path. The microbench win is the real signal: 29 ms / 8 MB shaved off any process that touches the teams plugin without otherwise pulling httpx — primarily future workflows where the gateway is enabled but Teams is not configured. Tests: 44/44 `tests/gateway/test_teams.py` pass; 345 across all plugin-platform suites (teams + qqbot + google_chat). The test file imports `httpx` itself for the `MockTransport` fixture, which is correct — tests legitimately use httpx, only the plugin's module-level import was the issue. |

fix(telegram): default notifications to 'important' (silence intermediate)
Per-tool-call push notifications on Telegram are noisy enough that
'all' is the wrong default — long agent runs spam the user's notification
shade with status messages they didn't ask to be pinged about. Final
responses, approval prompts, and slash confirmations still notify;
intermediate progress, streaming, and tool-progress messages now
deliver silently via disable_notification.
Users who want the legacy behavior can opt back in with:
display:
platforms:
telegram:
notifications: all
or HERMES_TELEGRAM_NOTIFICATIONS=all.

fix(model-metadata): align hy3-preview static fallback + delete change-detector test (#22805)
Two co-located fixes: 1. agent/model_metadata.py: bump hy3-preview static fallback from 256000 to 262144 (256 * 1024) to match OpenRouter live metadata so cache and offline both agree (issue #22268). 2. tests/hermes_cli/test_tencent_tokenhub_provider.py: replace the exact-value change-detector (assert ctx == 256000) with an invariant assertion (registered + >= 4096). Per AGENTS.md 'Don't write change-detector tests': pinning the upstream-controlled context length is exactly the test class the rule forbids — it breaks every time the provider bumps the published value, with zero behavioral coverage gained. Salvage of #22574 with a redirect on the test approach. The contributor's diff bumped the integer and added a SECOND change-detector pinning DEFAULT_CONTEXT_LENGTHS[hy3-preview] == 262144, which would re-break on the next published bump. We instead delete the change-detector entirely and assert the relationship. Closes #22268. |

perf(models_dev): cache-first lookup, skip network when disk cache is fresh (#22808)
`fetch_models_dev()` is on the hot path of every `AIAgent.__init__`
(via `context_compressor → get_model_context_length`). The previous
policy was "always try network first, only fall back to disk if
network fails," so every fresh `hermes chat` / `hermes gateway` /
batch / cron process paid 250-500 ms re-fetching a 2 MB JSON registry
that was already on disk from earlier runs.
Add a stage 2 between in-mem and network: if
`models_dev_cache.json` exists and its mtime is younger than the
existing `_MODELS_DEV_CACHE_TTL` (1 hour, same TTL the in-mem cache
already uses), load from disk and skip the network call.
The in-mem TTL is anchored to the disk file's age, so a 50-min-old
cache stays in-memory for only 10 more minutes — no surprise
extension of staleness window.
Invariants preserved:
- `force_refresh=True` still always hits the network and only falls
back to disk on failure (`hermes config refresh` semantics).
- Missing disk cache → fall through to network (first-ever run).
- Stale disk cache (mtime > TTL) → fall through to network.
- Negative file age (clock skew) → fall through to network.
- Network failure → existing stage-4 stale-disk fallback unchanged.
Measured impact (3-run medians, 9950X3D, fresh process per run):
fetch_models_dev cold: 256 → 17 ms (-93%)
hermes chat -q wall: 4.00 → 3.73 s (-7% median)
3.99 → 3.60 s (-10% min)
The chat-end-to-end win is bounded below by API latency variance, but
the fetch_models_dev microbenchmark is the cleanest signal: 239 ms
shaved off every fresh-process agent construction.
Win compounds with the previous perf PRs:
#22681 google_chat lazy-load
#22766 doctor parallel + IMDS off
#22790 gateway.platforms PEP 562
Tests: all 30 `tests/agent/test_models_dev.py` pass (added 4 new ones
covering the new disk-cache-first path, force_refresh override, stale
disk fallback, and missing-disk-cache fall-through). Full `tests/agent/`
suite: 2560 passed, 0 failed.

ACP already ships in [all] so the curl install includes it. - cli.md / configuration.md: 'auxiliary.compression.model' shown as 'google/gemini-3-flash-preview' (the doc's own claimed default); actual default is empty (= use main model). Reworded as 'leave empty (default) or pin a cheap model'. - built-in-plugins.md: added the bundled 'kanban/dashboard' plugin row that was missing from the table. Regenerated skill catalogs: - ran website/scripts/generate-skill-docs.py to refresh all 163 per-skill pages and both reference catalogs (skills-catalog.md, optional-skills-catalog.md). This adds the entries that were genuinely missing — productivity/teams-meeting-pipeline (bundled), optional/finance/* (entire category — 7 skills: 3-statement-model, comps-analysis, dcf-model, excel-author, lbo-model, merger-model, pptx-author), creative/hyperframes, creative/kanban-video-orchestrator, devops/watchers, productivity/shop-app, research/searxng-search, apple/macos-computer-use — and rewrites every other per-skill page from the current SKILL.md. Most diffs are tiny (one line of refreshed metadata). Validation: - 'npm run build' succeeded. - Broken-link count moved 146 -> 155 — the +9 are zh-Hans translation shells that lag every newly-added skill page (pre-existing pattern). No regressions on any en/ page. |

perf(gateway): defer QQAdapter and YuanbaoAdapter imports via PEP 562 (#22790)
`gateway/platforms/__init__.py` eagerly imported `QQAdapter` and
`YuanbaoAdapter` at package-init time, which transitively pulled in
qqbot's chunked-upload + keyboards + onboard machinery and yuanbao's
websocket stack. About 84 ms wall and 23 MB RSS on every fresh process
that touched anything under `gateway.platforms` — including `hermes
chat` (via run_agent → cli's plugin discovery transitive import).
Nothing in the codebase actually consumes these symbols from the
package root; every real call site uses the long-form path
(`from gateway.platforms.qqbot import QQAdapter`,
`from gateway.platforms.yuanbao import YuanbaoAdapter` in gateway/run.py).
The eager re-export was only there for convenience.
Replace with a PEP 562 module-level `__getattr__` that lazily imports
on first attribute access. Public API stays identical:
`from gateway.platforms import QQAdapter` keeps working but only
pays the import cost when the symbol is actually touched. `__dir__`
preserves help() / autocomplete behavior.
Measured impact (7-run medians, 9950X3D):
import gateway.platforms 127 → 43 ms (-66%)
50 → 27 MB (-46%)
import gateway.platforms.base 127 → 44 ms (-65%)
50 → 27 MB (-46%)
import cli (full chat path) 745 → 710 ms ( -5%)
96 → 90 MB ( -6%)
hermes chat -q (cold) -5 MB
The per-import win is biggest because qqbot/yuanbao deps don't overlap
with anything on the gateway-platforms path — full `import cli`
already loads aiohttp/websockets transitively from other places, so
the marginal CLI win is smaller than the isolated import benchmark.
The `gateway.platforms.base` win is what matters most for long-lived
gateway processes: every gateway boot saves 23 MB resident.
All 144 qqbot tests pass; broader gateway suite (5132 tests) passes
modulo 4 pre-existing flakes also failing on main without this change.

test(xai-image): regression-guard literal '1k'/'2k' resolution payload
The xAI image-gen provider was DOA from PR #14765 onward — every request 422'd because the resolution param was being mapped to '1024'/'2048' but xAI's API expects the literal strings '1k'/'2k'. PR #18678 fixed the mapping; this test asserts the wire payload carries the literal so the regression cannot recur silently. |

perf(doctor): parallelize API connectivity checks and disable IMDS (#22766)
`hermes doctor` ran every connectivity probe sequentially and on a typical
developer laptop spent ~2s of its ~5s wall time inside boto3's EC2
instance-metadata-service lookup (169.254.169.254) — the default
AWS credential chain probes IMDS even when AWS_BEARER_TOKEN_BEDROCK
or AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID is the only legitimate source.
Refactor the API Connectivity section so every probe (OpenRouter,
Anthropic, ~16 static API-key providers + dynamic profiles, AWS
Bedrock) is a pure function returning a structured result, then
fan them out through a ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=8). Output
order, glyphs, colours, padding, and issue strings stay byte-for-byte
identical to the sequential implementation; results are gathered
in submission order.
Also disable IMDS for the parallel block by setting
AWS_EC2_METADATA_DISABLED=true on the parent thread before submitting
work (and restoring its prior value in a finally block). Bedrock's
real-API call gets a Config(connect_timeout=5, read_timeout=10,
retries={max_attempts:1}) so a transient regional failure can't pad
the run by 30+ seconds.
Measured impact (5-run medians, 9950X3D):
hermes doctor: 5.07 → 2.16 s (-57%)
Doctor tests: 48 passed (test_doctor.py + test_doctor_command_install.py).
The remaining ~2s of wall is import overhead + a couple of one-off
network calls outside the API Connectivity section (`fetch_models_dev`
provider catalog refresh, Nous OAuth refresh in `Auth Providers`).
Those are next-tier targets, not part of this change.

fix(tools): install cua-driver when Computer Use is enabled via 'hermes tools' (#22765)
Returning users who enabled '🖱️ Computer Use (macOS)' via 'hermes tools' saw '✓ Saved configuration' but no install — cua-driver was never on PATH and the toolset failed at first use. Two compounding causes: 1. _toolset_needs_configuration_prompt fell through to _toolset_has_keys, which returned True for any provider with empty env_vars. cua-driver has no env vars, so the gate skipped _configure_toolset entirely and _run_post_setup('cua_driver') never ran. 2. No stable CLI entry-point existed for re-running the install when the picker no-op'd it (e.g. when toggling the toolset off+on inside one picker session, where 'added' is empty). Changes: - hermes_cli/tools_config.py: add _POST_SETUP_INSTALLED registry mapping post_setup keys to installed-state predicates. The gate now returns True when any visible provider has a registered post_setup whose predicate fails. cua_driver is the only opt-in for now; other post_setup hooks keep their existing behaviour. - hermes_cli/main.py: add 'hermes computer-use install' and 'hermes computer-use status' as a stable docs target. install reuses the same _run_post_setup('cua_driver') path that the picker invokes; status reports whether cua-driver is on PATH. - tools/computer_use/cua_backend.py: install hint now points users at 'hermes computer-use install' first. - website/docs/user-guide/features/computer-use.md: document the new command as the primary install path. - website/docs/reference/cli-commands.md: catalog 'hermes computer-use' alongside 'hermes tools'. - tests/hermes_cli/test_post_setup_gating.py: regression coverage for the gate predicate (missing -> setup forced, installed -> setup skipped, broken predicate -> non-blocking, unregistered keys -> behaviour unchanged). Fixes #22737. Reported by @f-trycua. |

fix(memory): tighten MEMORY_GUIDANCE against ephemeral PR/issue/SHA notes (#22781)
The model regularly writes session-outcome facts to MEMORY.md despite the existing 'Do NOT save task progress' line — entries like 'Submitted PR #22577 for the kanban dedup fix' or 'Fixed bug X in file Y'. These are stale within days, pollute the system prompt, and crowd out durable user preferences (the issue #22563 reporter saw 9 sections of bug-fix notes injected on a brand-new task). Add explicit examples of what NOT to save (PR numbers, issue numbers, commit SHAs, 'fixed/submitted/Phase N done', file counts) plus the 7-day-staleness heuristic so the model has a concrete calibration target rather than guessing what counts as 'task progress'. Closes #22563 (the prompt-side, low-risk portion). The bigger relevance-based-injection / vector-retrieval feature requested in #22563 is tracked under #2184 (Richer local memory). Per skill rule on prompt caching, dynamic memory injection breaks the frozen-snapshot invariant and needs a separate design call. |

fix(fallback): skip chain entries matching current provider/model/base_url (#22780)
_try_activate_fallback() walked the chain by index without comparing
the candidate entry against the currently-failing backend. So a
misconfigured chain that listed the same provider+model as the primary,
or two custom_providers entries pointing at the same shim URL, would
loop the same failure 3x for the same backend.
After the fix, advance() skips:
- entries where (provider, model) match the current agent's
- entries with a base_url + model matching the current backend
(catches two custom_providers names pointing at the same shim)
Recursing through self._try_activate_fallback() continues to the next
chain entry; if everything matches, returns False and the caller
moves on without retrying the same broken path.
3 regression tests covering same-provider-same-model skip, same-base_url-
same-model skip, and the all-self-matching-returns-False exhaustion path.
Closes #22548 (the Hermes-side portion). The 120s timeout itself in
the downstream claude-cli shim is a deployment concern documented in
that issue's wherewolf87 comment.

fix(cli): make Ctrl+Enter insert newline on WSL/SSH/Windows Terminal (#22777)
Native Windows, WSL, SSH sessions, and Windows Terminal all send Ctrl+Enter as bare LF (c-j). Hermes was binding c-j as submit on every POSIX platform, so Ctrl+Enter submitted instead of inserting a newline on those terminals. Reported in #22379. Add _preserve_ctrl_enter_newline() predicate that detects the environments where Ctrl+Enter must produce a newline (sys.platform == 'win32', SSH_CONNECTION/SSH_CLIENT/SSH_TTY env, WT_SESSION, WSL_DISTRO_NAME, /proc/version 'microsoft' marker). Gate the c-j-as-submit binding off in those environments and gate the c-j-as-newline handler on. Local POSIX TTYs without those markers (docker exec, plain ssh from a Mac) keep c-j as submit so plain Enter still works on thin PTYs. Add install_ctrl_enter_alias() in hermes_cli/pt_input_extras.py mapping the three CSI-u / modifyOtherKeys variants of Ctrl+Enter ('\x1b[13;5u', '\x1b[27;5;13~', '\x1b[27;5;13u') to the (Escape, ControlM) tuple Alt+Enter produces. This lets Kitty / mintty / xterm-with-modifyOtherKeys users over SSH get a Ctrl+Enter newline through the existing Alt+Enter handler. 9 new tests + extended existing test_lf_enter_binds_to_submit_handler_posix to cover bare-local vs SSH branches.

fix(agent): hydrate memory-nudge counters from conversation_history (#22774)
Gateway creates a fresh AIAgent per inbound message in several common
scenarios: cache miss, idle eviction (1h TTL), config-signature
mismatch, process restart. A freshly-built AIAgent has
_turns_since_memory=0 and _user_turn_count=0, so the
memory.nudge_interval trigger ('_turns_since_memory >=
_memory_nudge_interval') can never be reached when these reconstructions
happen on roughly the cadence of the interval. A user can chat for hours
on Telegram without ever seeing a self-improvement review fire.
Reconstruct the counters from conversation_history at the top of
run_conversation(), right after the existing _hydrate_todo_store call.
Idempotent guard ('if self._user_turn_count == 0') means a cached agent
that already accumulated counters keeps them; only freshly-built agents
hydrate. Modulo arithmetic preserves the original 1-in-N cadence rather
than firing a review immediately on resume.
7 regression tests pinning the contract (mid-cycle history, modulo wrap,
idempotency, zero-interval skip, role==user filtering, production-code
anchor).
Closes #22357.

fix(kanban): sanitize comment author rendering in build_worker_context (#22769)
Operator-controlled HERMES_PROFILE values were rendered as
'**${author}** (${ts}):' — markdown bold with no provenance prefix.
Worker comment bodies render directly underneath. A misleading
profile name like 'hermes-system' or 'operator' could be misread by
the next worker as a system directive above attacker-influenced
content (confused-deputy primitive gated on operator misconfig).
The LLM-controlled author-forgery surface was already closed in
#22435 (author removed from KANBAN_COMMENT_SCHEMA). This is
defense-in-depth: render with an explicit 'comment from worker
`<author>` at <ts>:' prefix so even 'hermes-system' resolves to
'comment from worker `hermes-system` at ...' — parseable as
worker-comment metadata, not a system directive. Strip backticks
from author so they can't break out of the fence.
Update test_build_worker_context_caps_comments to count by body
regex since the rendered author line now also starts with
'comment '.
Closes #22452.

fix(tests): harden run_tests.sh — uv-aware bootstrap + scrub HERMES_CRON_SESSION (#22767)
Two unrelated but co-located fixes to scripts/run_tests.sh: 1. pytest-split bootstrap (#22401): the script tried '$PYTHON -m pip install pytest-split' on first run, but uv-created venvs ship without pip. Result: 'No module named pip' before any test ran. Add a uv fallback (uv pip install --python $PYTHON), keep pip as a secondary path, and emit a clear error pointing at 'uv pip install -e ".[dev]"' when neither is available. Also declare pytest-split in pyproject.toml dev extra so a normal '.[dev]' install provisions it. 2. HERMES_CRON_SESSION leak (#22400): the hermetic env scrub already unsets HERMES_GATEWAY_SESSION and HERMES_INTERACTIVE but missed the sibling HERMES_CRON_SESSION. When run_tests.sh is invoked from a Hermes cron job, that variable leaks into pytest, flipping tools/approval.py into cron-deny mode and breaking tests/acp/test_approval_isolation.py and friends. Closes #22400. Closes #22401. |

fix(agent): notify context engine on commit_memory_session (#22764)
When session_id rotates (e.g. /new), commit_memory_session was firing
MemoryManager.on_session_end but skipping ContextEngine.on_session_end.
Engines that accumulate per-session state (LCM-style DAGs, summary
stores) leaked that state from the rotated-out session into whatever
continued under the same compressor instance.
Mirror the call shutdown_memory_provider already makes — same
lifecycle moment, same hook contract ("real session boundaries (CLI
exit, /reset, gateway expiry)"). /new is a real boundary for the old
session_id; providers keep their state but the rotated-out session_id
is done.
6 regression tests covering both-hooks-fire, no-memory-manager,
no-context-engine, both failure-tolerant paths.
Closes #22394.

calls in test_auto_detected_root_is_rejected confused Python's scope
analysis (later 'import pytest' made pytest local everywhere in the
function) and caused UnboundLocalError. Drop the now-redundant
in-function importorskip calls and rely on the module-level guard.

fix(cron): allow quoted URL in github auth-header allowlist
The github-pr-workflow skill wraps the URL in double-quotes
('curl -H ... "https://api.github.com/..."'), which the original
allowlist regex (\s+https://api...) did not match. Without this,
the bundled github-pr-workflow skill is still blocked at every
cron tick despite #22605's fix landing for the bare-URL form.
Make the leading quote optional and add a regression test pinning
both single- and double-quoted forms.

feat(delegate): show user's actual concurrency / spawn-depth limits in tool description (#22694)
The delegate_task tool description hardcoded 'default 3' / 'default 2' for max_concurrent_children / max_spawn_depth, which misled the model on any install that raised these limits — the schema text said 'default 3' even when the user had set max_concurrent_children=15 / max_spawn_depth=3, so the model would self-cap at 3 and never use the headroom. Make the description dynamic. ToolEntry gains an optional dynamic_schema_overrides callable; registry.get_definitions() merges its output on top of the static schema before returning it. delegate_tool registers a builder that reads the current delegation.* config and emits: - 'up to N items concurrently for this user' (N = max_concurrent_children) - 'Nested delegation IS enabled / OFF for this user (max_spawn_depth=N)' - 'orchestrator children can themselves delegate up to M more level(s)' - 'orchestrator_enabled=false' when the kill switch is set The model_tools cache key already includes config.yaml mtime+size, so edits to delegation.* in config invalidate the cached tool definitions without an explicit hook. CLI_CONFIG staleness within a process is a pre-existing limitation of _load_config and out of scope here. Static description / tasks.description / role.description in DELEGATE_TASK_SCHEMA are placeholders so module import doesn't trigger cli.CLI_CONFIG load before the test conftest can redirect HERMES_HOME. |

feat(plugins): HERMES_PLUGINS_DEBUG=1 surfaces plugin discovery logs (#22684)
Plugin authors had no easy way to figure out why their plugin wasn't loading — failures were buried in agent.log at WARNING and skip reasons (disabled, not enabled, depth cap, exclusive) were DEBUG-only and invisible by default. Set HERMES_PLUGINS_DEBUG=1 to attach a stderr handler at DEBUG to the hermes_cli.plugins logger only. Surfaces: - which directories were scanned + manifest counts per source - per manifest: resolved key, name, kind, source, on-disk path - skip reasons (disabled, not enabled, exclusive, depth cap, no register) - per load: tools/hooks/slash/CLI commands the plugin registered - full traceback on YAML parse failure (exc_info on the existing warning) - full traceback on register() exceptions, pointing at the plugin author's line Env var off (default) → zero new stderr output, same as before. Touches only hermes_cli/plugins.py + a doc section in the plugin-build guide + an entry in the env-vars reference. 3 new tests lock the attach/idempotent/no-attach behavior. |

perf(google_chat): defer heavy google-cloud imports to first adapter use (#22681)
Plugin discovery imports every bundled platform plugin at model_tools
import time. The google_chat adapter unconditionally pulled in
google.cloud.pubsub_v1, googleapiclient, grpc, httplib2, and friends at
module top — about 33 MB RSS and 110 ms wall on every CLI invocation,
even ones that never construct a gateway adapter.
Wrap the heavy imports in _load_google_modules(): an idempotent loader
that rebinds the module-level globals (pubsub_v1, service_account,
HttpError, MediaFileUpload, …) on first call and is invoked from
GoogleChatAdapter.__init__, connect(), and check_google_chat_requirements().
The HttpError = Exception placeholder is preserved for the brief window
before the loader runs, so 'except HttpError as exc:' clauses stay
correct (Python looks up the name at try/except evaluation time, not
at function definition time).
Measured impact on a 9950X3D, 7-run medians:
import cli: 895 → 787 ms (-108 ms / -12%)
133 → 110 MB ( -23 MB / -17%)
import model_tools: 491 → 400 ms ( -91 ms / -19%)
95 → 66 MB ( -29 MB / -31%)
google_chat alone: 244 → 132 ms (-112 ms / -46%)
83 → 50 MB ( -33 MB / -40%)
hermes chat -q (cold): 177 → 145 MB ( -32 MB / -18%)
Real-world win lands on every path that imports cli.py: hermes chat,
hermes gateway, cron jobs, batch runs, subagents. Long-lived gateway
processes save ~30 MB resident.
All 157 google_chat tests pass; full gateway suite (5050 tests) green.

feat: confirm prompt for destructive slash commands (#4069) (#22687)
/clear, /new, /reset, and /undo now ask the user to confirm before discarding conversation state — three-option prompt routed through the existing tools.slash_confirm primitive. Native yes/no buttons render on Telegram, Discord, and Slack (their adapters already implement send_slash_confirm); other platforms get a text-fallback prompt and reply with /approve, /always, or /cancel. The classic prompt_toolkit CLI uses the same three-option flow via the established _prompt_text_input pattern (see _confirm_and_reload_mcp). TUI keeps its existing modal overlay (#12312). Gated by new config key approvals.destructive_slash_confirm (default true). Picking 'Always Approve' flips the gate to false so subsequent destructive commands run silently — matches the established mcp_reload_confirm UX. Out of scope: /cron remove (separate domain — scheduled jobs, not session history). Existing TUI overlay env-var (HERMES_TUI_NO_CONFIRM) left unchanged; cosmetic unification can come later. Closes #4069. |

fix(gateway): also catch restart TimeoutExpired; friendly message
Extends #19994 to the restart path. Dashboard spawns 'hermes gateway restart' in the background; when a wedged adapter websocket pushes drain past the 90s CLI timeout, the dashboard previously surfaced a raw subprocess.TimeoutExpired traceback. Mirror systemd_stop()'s TimeoutExpired catch onto both forcing-restart sites in systemd_restart(). Adds a test that exercises the no-active-pid branch end-to-end. |

perf(cli): cut ~19s from 'hermes' cold start (skills cache + lazy Feishu + no Nous HTTP) (#22138)
Interactive `hermes` launch drops from ~21s to ~2.5s. Three independent
fixes, each targets a distinct hot spot in the banner / tool-registration
path that fires on every CLI invocation.
1. `get_external_skills_dirs()` in-process mtime cache (~10s saved)
The function re-read + YAML-parsed the full ~/.hermes/config.yaml on
every call. Banner build invokes it once per skill to resolve the
category column, which on a 120-skill install meant ~120 reparses of
a 15 KB config (~85 ms each). Added a
`(config_path, mtime_ns) -> list[Path]` memo; stat() is ~2 us vs
~85 ms for the parse. Edits to config.yaml invalidate the cache on
the next call via mtime.
2. Feishu availability probe uses `importlib.util.find_spec` (~5.2s saved)
`tools/feishu_doc_tool.py::_check_feishu` and the identical helper in
`feishu_drive_tool.py` were calling `import lark_oapi` purely to
detect whether the SDK was installed. Executing the real import pulls
in websockets + dispatcher + every v2 API model — ~5 seconds of work
that fires at every tool-registry bootstrap. `find_spec` answers the
same question ("is lark_oapi importable?") without executing the
module. The actual tool handlers still do the real import on invoke,
so runtime behavior is unchanged.
3. `_web_requires_env` no longer triggers Nous portal refresh (~800ms saved)
`tools/web_tools.py::_web_requires_env` used
`managed_nous_tools_enabled()` to gate four gateway env-var names in
the returned list. The gate called `get_nous_auth_status()` ->
`resolve_nous_runtime_credentials()` -> live HTTP POST to the portal
on every tool-registry bootstrap. But the list is pure metadata — if
the env var is set at runtime, the tool lights up; otherwise it
doesn't. Including the four names unconditionally is harmless for
unsubscribed users (vars just aren't set) and eliminates the sync
HTTP round trip from startup.
Test:
- tests/agent/test_external_skills_dirs_cache.py (new, 6 cases):
returns config'd dir, caches on second call (yaml_load patched to
raise — never invoked), invalidates on mtime bump, empty when config
missing, returned list is a defensive copy, per-HERMES_HOME cache key
isolation.
- Existing tests/agent/test_external_skills.py and tests/tools/
continue to pass modulo pre-existing flakes on main (test_delegate,
test_send_message — unrelated, pass in isolation).
Measured: bare `hermes` (cold → REPL ready) 21,519ms -> 2,618ms on
Teknium's install (119 skills, 15 KB config.yaml, Nous auth logged in,
lark_oapi installed). 8x faster.

fix(update): bypass systemd RestartSec after graceful drain (#22101)
After a clean SIGUSR1 drain, cmd_update passively polled for systemd's auto-restart to fire. Our unit file sets RestartSec=60 (a crash-loop guard), so the voluntary-restart path waited a full minute of dead air before the gateway came back — the user saw 'draining (up to 75s)...' and stared at it. Change: after the drain exits with code 75, call 'reset-failed' + 'start' explicitly. Manual start bypasses RestartSec entirely (RestartSec only governs systemd's own auto-restart logic). Takes about as long as the gateway needs to come up (~1-3s on a warm box) instead of ~60s. The RestartSec=60 default stays — it's the right crash-loop guard for actual crashes. This only short-circuits the voluntary-restart path. Matches the pattern already used in 'hermes gateway restart' (systemd_restart() in hermes_cli/gateway.py, PR #20949). Tests: - tests/hermes_cli/test_update_gateway_restart.py: new test_update_bypasses_restartsec_after_graceful_drain asserts both 'reset-failed hermes-gateway' AND 'start hermes-gateway' (NOT 'restart') are issued after a successful graceful drain. - All existing tests in the affected classes still pass (TestCmdUpdateLaunchdRestart, TestCmdUpdateResetFailedBeforeRestart are green; one pre-existing flake in the latter is unrelated). |

perf(cli): skip eager plugin discovery on known built-in subcommands (#22120)
`hermes --help` drops from ~700ms to ~180ms; `hermes version` from ~950ms to ~240ms. ~4-5x startup speedup on inspection / diagnostic invocations. Changes: - hermes_cli/main.py: gate the argparse-setup `discover_plugins()` call behind `_plugin_cli_discovery_needed()`. Eager plugin imports (google.cloud.pubsub_v1, aiohttp, grpc, PIL) cost 500-650ms and are pure waste when the user is running a built-in subcommand that doesn't take plugin extensions (`--help`, `version`, `logs`, `config`, `sessions`, etc.). New `_BUILTIN_SUBCOMMANDS` frozenset + `_first_positional_argv` helper handle flag-value skipping (`-m gpt5 chat` → still fast). - hermes_cli/main.py: `cmd_version` now reads the OpenAI SDK version via `importlib.metadata` (~2ms) instead of `import openai` (~800ms of pydantic type-module loading). Agent-running paths (`hermes chat`, `hermes gateway run`) are unaffected — the second `discover_plugins()` call later in `main()` still runs so plugin hooks / tools wire up normally. Tests: - tests/hermes_cli/test_startup_plugin_gating.py: parity test guards the `_BUILTIN_SUBCOMMANDS` set against drift (every registered subparser must be declared; no phantom entries). Behavior tests for flag-value skipping, `--` terminator, inline `--flag=value` form. 37 tests. |

Wire the Windows branch into both wizards: - supports_service_manager now includes is_windows(). - Install offer reads 'Scheduled Task service' on Windows. - install() on Windows starts the task inline via schtasks /Run (or direct-spawn fallback) so the separate 'Start the service now?' prompt is skipped. - Start and Restart delegate to gateway_windows.start() / .restart(). hermes_cli/setup.py +30 -4 hermes_cli/gateway.py +28 -4 |

fix(entry-points): guard hermes_bootstrap import so partial updates don't brick hermes (#22091)
teknium1 hit ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'hermes_bootstrap' after a code update, on both his Windows machine AND his Linux workstation. The failure mode is real and affects every user who updates hermes by any path OTHER than a fully-successful ``hermes update``. ## What happens hermes_bootstrap.py is a top-level module registered via pyproject.toml's ``py-modules`` list (added by Brooklyn's Windows UTF-8 stdio work). It must be registered in the venv's editable-install .pth file before Python can find it as a bare ``import hermes_bootstrap``. ``hermes update`` handles this correctly: (1) git reset --hard, (2) clear __pycache__, (3) uv pip install -e . (re-registers the package including the new py-modules list), (4) restart. BUT if any step AFTER (1) fails — network blip during pip install, PEP 668 on a system Python, venv locked, uv not in PATH, a crash mid-update — the user is left with new code that references hermes_bootstrap and a venv that doesn't know about it. Every hermes invocation after that crashes with ModuleNotFoundError, including ``hermes update`` itself. No recovery path without manual `uv pip install -e .`. Also affects users who ``git pull`` the repo directly without running hermes update — relatively common for developers. ## Fix Wrap ``import hermes_bootstrap`` in a try/except ModuleNotFoundError across all 6 entry points (hermes_cli/main, run_agent, gateway/run, acp_adapter/entry, cli, batch_runner). On Windows, missing bootstrap means the UTF-8 stdio setup doesn't run — degraded behavior (Unicode chars may fail to print) but NOT a crash. POSIX is unaffected either way since the bootstrap is a no-op there. Once hermes is running again, the user can ``hermes update`` to fully recover. ## Test update tests/test_hermes_bootstrap.py::test_entry_point_imports_bootstrap scans for the first top-level import in each entry point and asserts it is hermes_bootstrap. Extended the check to accept a Try block whose body is a lone Import of hermes_bootstrap — that's the recovery-friendly form we just introduced. Verified behavior by ``mv hermes_bootstrap.py hermes_bootstrap.py.bak`` and confirming ``python -c "import hermes_cli.main"`` succeeds. 82/82 tests pass (hermes_bootstrap + windows-native + windows-compat). |

test: migrate stale os.kill monkeypatches to gateway.status._pid_exists
PR #21561 migrated liveness probes across 14 call sites from
`os.kill(pid, 0)` to `gateway.status._pid_exists` (psutil-first) so
the gateway doesn't Ctrl+C-itself on Windows via bpo-14484. A handful of
tests still patched the old `os.kill` seam and either happened to pass
on POSIX (when PID 12345 incidentally wasn't alive on the CI worker) or
failed outright — on CI runs they surfaced as 7 flaky/stable failures.
Migrate each affected test to patch the correct seam:
- tests/tools/test_browser_orphan_reaper.py (5 tests)
Patch `gateway.status._pid_exists` instead of `os.kill`.
Rename test_permission_error_on_kill_check_skips to
test_alive_legacy_daemon_is_reaped — the old assertion was
"PermissionError on sig 0 → skip dir"; post-migration the
untracked-alive-daemon path always reaps the dir after SIGTERM
(best-effort semantics were preserved).
- tests/tools/test_windows_native_support.py (4 tests)
Replace tests that asserted `os.kill` seam behavior with tests
that exercise `ProcessRegistry._is_host_pid_alive` as a
delegator and split out a new TestPidExistsOSErrorWidening class
that hits `gateway.status._pid_exists` directly via the POSIX
fallback branch (so Windows-style `OSError(WinError 87)` + `PermissionError`
widening is still covered on Linux CI).
- tests/tools/test_process_registry.py (1 test)
Mock `psutil.Process` + `_pid_exists` instead of `os.kill`
for the detached-session kill path.
- tests/tools/test_mcp_stability.py::test_kill_orphaned_uses_sigkill_when_available
SIGTERM → alive-check → SIGKILL flow now uses `_pid_exists`
for the middle step; assertion count drops from 3 to 2.
- tests/gateway/test_status.py::TestScopedLocks (2 tests)
`acquire_scoped_lock` consults `_pid_exists`; patch that
seam directly instead of trying to control the nested psutil
call via os.kill monkeypatch.
- tests/hermes_cli/test_gateway.py::test_stop_profile_gateway_keeps_pid_file_when_process_still_running
The stop loop sends one SIGTERM via os.kill then polls 20x via
_pid_exists; instrument both separately. Old assertion
`calls["kill"] == 21` split into `kill == 1` + `alive_probes == 20`.

feat(windows uninstall): clean up User env, PATH, Scheduled Task, and portable tooling
`hermes uninstall` was POSIX-only. On Windows it would leave four classes of installer debris behind that the user had to scrub manually: 1. Scheduled Task and/or Startup-folder .cmd entry that installer.ps1 dropped for `hermes gateway install`. Left running at next logon even after uninstall, pointing at deleted code paths. 2. User-scope PATH entries for the Hermes venv, PortableGit (cmd, bin, usr\bin), and bundled Node, all written to HKCU\Environment\Path. 3. User-scope env vars HERMES_HOME and HERMES_GIT_BASH_PATH, same registry key. 4. PortableGit and Node copies under %LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes\ (~200MB), plus gateway-service/ scratch dir. Fixes: - `uninstall_gateway_service()` gets a Windows branch that calls into `gateway_windows.stop()` + `gateway_windows.uninstall()`, which already know how to remove both schtasks entries and Startup-folder .cmd files and how to stop any running detached pythonw gateway. - `remove_path_from_windows_registry(hermes_home)` reads HKCU\Environment via winreg, strips any PATH entry whose path-prefix matches the installer-owned markers (\hermes-agent, \git, \node, \venv under the current HERMES_HOME), and writes the cleaned value back. Preserves REG_EXPAND_SZ vs REG_SZ so unexpanded %VARS% in the user's PATH survive. No PowerShell subprocess, no fragile `reg query` parsing. - `remove_hermes_env_vars_windows()` deletes HERMES_HOME and HERMES_GIT_BASH_PATH from the same key. - `remove_portable_tooling_windows(hermes_home)` rmtree's `hermes_home/git`, `hermes_home/node`, `hermes_home/gateway-service` — they're installer artifacts, not user data, so they get removed in BOTH "keep data" and "full uninstall" modes. Wired these into `run_uninstall()` guarded by `_is_windows()` so POSIX paths are untouched. Also fixed the closing "Reload your shell" footer to point Windows users at opening a new terminal (PATH changes don't propagate into the current PowerShell session) with the PowerShell install one-liner instead of bash's curl-pipe. Verified on Delta-1 (Windows 10) via preview script: correctly identifies 4 Hermes-installed PATH entries out of 13 total to remove, leaves Python/LM Studio/ripgrep/ffmpeg/winget entries alone. |

fix(windows): gateway status dedup + install.ps1 platform-SDK bootstrap
## Two residual Windows fixes that were hanging from earlier commits. ### 1. `hermes gateway status` reported 2 PIDs per gateway — TWO bugs compounded Diagnosed with psutil parent/child walk against live gateway PIDs: **Bug A (the real one): `_get_parent_pid` silently failed on Windows.** The helper shelled out to `ps -o ppid= -p <pid>`, which doesn't exist on Windows — `FileNotFoundError` → returns `None` → the ancestor walk terminated at `os.getpid()` alone. Consequence: the PID table scan in `_scan_gateway_pids` couldn't filter out `hermes gateway status`'s own launcher stub (a venv `pythonw.exe`/`python.exe` that matches the same `-m hermes_cli.main gateway` pattern as the gateway). Every status call saw "itself" as a second gateway. Fix: `_get_parent_pid` now calls `psutil.Process(pid).ppid()` first (psutil is a core dependency since |

feat(cross-platform): psutil for PID/process management + Windows footgun checker
## Why
Hermes supports Linux, macOS, and native Windows, but the codebase grew up
POSIX-first and has accumulated patterns that silently break (or worse,
silently kill!) on Windows:
- `os.kill(pid, 0)` as a liveness probe — on Windows this maps to
CTRL_C_EVENT and broadcasts Ctrl+C to the target's entire console
process group (bpo-14484, open since 2012).
- `os.killpg` — doesn't exist on Windows at all (AttributeError).
- `os.setsid` / `os.getuid` / `os.geteuid` — same.
- `signal.SIGKILL` / `signal.SIGHUP` / `signal.SIGUSR1` — module-attr
errors at runtime on Windows.
- `open(path)` / `open(path, "r")` without explicit encoding= — inherits
the platform default, which is cp1252/mbcs on Windows (UTF-8 on POSIX),
causing mojibake round-tripping between hosts.
- `wmic` — removed from Windows 10 21H1+.
This commit does three things:
1. Makes `psutil` a core dependency and migrates critical callsites to it.
2. Adds a grep-based CI gate (`scripts/check-windows-footguns.py`) that
blocks new instances of any of the above patterns.
3. Fixes every existing instance in the codebase so the baseline is clean.
## What changed
### 1. psutil as a core dependency (pyproject.toml)
Added `psutil>=5.9.0,<8` to core deps. psutil is the canonical
cross-platform answer for "is this PID alive" and "kill this process
tree" — its `pid_exists()` uses `OpenProcess + GetExitCodeProcess` on
Windows (NOT a signal call), and its `Process.children(recursive=True)`
+ `.kill()` combo replaces `os.killpg()` portably.
### 2. `gateway/status.py::_pid_exists`
Rewrote to call `psutil.pid_exists()` first, falling back to the
hand-rolled ctypes `OpenProcess + WaitForSingleObject` dance on Windows
(and `os.kill(pid, 0)` on POSIX) only if psutil is somehow missing —
e.g. during the scaffold phase of a fresh install before pip finishes.
### 3. `os.killpg` migration to psutil (7 callsites, 5 files)
- `tools/code_execution_tool.py`
- `tools/process_registry.py`
- `tools/tts_tool.py`
- `tools/environments/local.py` (3 sites kept as-is, suppressed with
`# windows-footgun: ok` — the pgid semantics psutil can't replicate,
and the calls are already Windows-guarded at the outer branch)
- `gateway/platforms/whatsapp.py`
### 4. `scripts/check-windows-footguns.py` (NEW, 500 lines)
Grep-based checker with 11 rules covering every Windows cross-platform
footgun we've hit so far:
1. `os.kill(pid, 0)` — the silent killer
2. `os.setsid` without guard
3. `os.killpg` (recommends psutil)
4. `os.getuid` / `os.geteuid` / `os.getgid`
5. `os.fork`
6. `signal.SIGKILL`
7. `signal.SIGHUP/SIGUSR1/SIGUSR2/SIGALRM/SIGCHLD/SIGPIPE/SIGQUIT`
8. `subprocess` shebang script invocation
9. `wmic` without `shutil.which` guard
10. Hardcoded `~/Desktop` (OneDrive trap)
11. `asyncio.add_signal_handler` without try/except
12. `open()` without `encoding=` on text mode
Features:
- Triple-quoted-docstring aware (won't flag prose inside docstrings)
- Trailing-comment aware (won't flag mentions in `# os.kill(pid, 0)` comments)
- Guard-hint aware (skips lines with `hasattr(os, ...)`,
`shutil.which(...)`, `if platform.system() != 'Windows'`, etc.)
- Inline suppression with `# windows-footgun: ok — <reason>`
- `--list` to print all rules with fixes
- `--all` / `--diff <ref>` / staged-files (default) modes
- Scans 380 files in under 2 seconds
### 5. CI integration
A GitHub Actions workflow that runs the checker on every PR and push is
staged at `/tmp/hermes-stash/windows-footguns.yml` — not included in this
commit because the GH token on the push machine lacks `workflow` scope.
A maintainer with `workflow` permissions should add it as
`.github/workflows/windows-footguns.yml` in a follow-up. Content:
```yaml
name: Windows footgun check
on:
push:
branches: [main]
pull_request:
branches: [main]
jobs:
check:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- uses: actions/setup-python@v5
with: {python-version: "3.11"}
- run: python scripts/check-windows-footguns.py --all
```
### 6. CONTRIBUTING.md — "Cross-Platform Compatibility" expansion
Expanded from 5 to 16 rules, each with message, example, and fix.
Recommends psutil as the preferred API for PID / process-tree operations.
### 7. Baseline cleanup (91 → 0 findings)
- 14 `open()` sites → added `encoding='utf-8'` (internal logs/caches) or
`encoding='utf-8-sig'` (user-editable files that Notepad may BOM)
- 23 POSIX-only callsites in systemd helpers, pty_bridge, and plugin
tool subprocess management → annotated with
`# windows-footgun: ok — <reason>`
- 7 `os.killpg` sites → migrated to psutil (see §3 above)
## Verification
```
$ python scripts/check-windows-footguns.py --all
✓ No Windows footguns found (380 file(s) scanned).
$ python -c "from gateway.status import _pid_exists; import os
> print('self:', _pid_exists(os.getpid())); print('bogus:', _pid_exists(999999))"
self: True
bogus: False
```
Proof-of-repro that `os.kill(pid, 0)` was actually killing processes
before this fix — see commit `1cbe39914` and bpo-14484. This commit
removes the last hand-rolled ctypes path from the hot liveness-check
path and defers to the best-maintained cross-platform answer.

fix(windows): os.kill(pid, 0) is NOT a no-op on Windows — route through new _pid_exists helper
On Windows, Python's ``os.kill(pid, 0)`` is NOT a no-op. CPython's
implementation (``Modules/posixmodule.c::os_kill_impl``) treats sig=0
as ``CTRL_C_EVENT`` because the two integer values collide at the C
layer, and routes it through ``GenerateConsoleCtrlEvent(0, pid)`` —
which sends a Ctrl+C to the ENTIRE console process group containing
the target PID, not just the PID itself. Any caller that wanted to
check "is PID X alive" via the classic POSIX ``os.kill(pid, 0)``
idiom was silently killing that process (and often unrelated
processes in the same console group) on Windows. Long-standing
Python Windows quirk; see bpo-14484 (open since 2012).
This manifested in Hermes as: every ``hermes gateway status``
invocation would read the gateway's PID from the PID file, call
``os.kill(pid, 0)`` via ``gateway.status.get_running_pid()`` as a
"liveness check", and instantly terminate the gateway it was trying
to report on. No shutdown log, no traceback, no atexit hook fire,
no exit-diag entry — just silent termination of the detached pythonw
process. "Bot answered one message then stopped typing" was the
characteristic end-user symptom because `os.kill(pid, 0)` fires
mid-response-send and kills the gateway between logs.
Reproduction (verified in this branch before the fix):
$ hermes gateway start # gateway alive, PID 37520
$ hermes gateway status # reports "No gateway process detected"
$ tasklist /FI "PID eq 37520" # INFO: No tasks are running
# — gateway terminated silently
Root-cause fix is a new ``gateway.status._pid_exists(pid)`` helper:
- On Windows: Win32 ``OpenProcess(PROCESS_QUERY_LIMITED_INFORMATION |
SYNCHRONIZE, False, pid)`` + ``WaitForSingleObject(handle, 0)``
via ctypes. Zero signal delivery, zero console-group side effects.
Pins ctypes return types to avoid DWORD-vs-signed-int parse bugs
on WAIT_TIMEOUT (0x102). Distinguishes ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER
(PID gone) from ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED (alive but another user).
- On POSIX: the canonical ``os.kill(pid, 0)`` idiom that actually is
a no-op there.
Then patch every ``os.kill(pid, 0)`` liveness-check callsite to
route through ``_pid_exists`` instead. Total 14 callsites across
11 files; every single one was a latent silent-kill on Windows:
gateway/run.py:2810 — /restart watcher (inline subprocess)
gateway/run.py:15195 — --replace wait loop
gateway/status.py:572 — acquire_gateway_runtime_lock stale check
gateway/status.py:828 — get_running_pid (THE killer for status)
gateway/platforms/whatsapp.py:111
hermes_cli/gateway.py:228, 522, 1012 — gateway-related drain loops
hermes_cli/kanban_db.py:2826 — _pid_alive was claiming to
be cross-platform but used
os.kill(pid, 0) on Windows
hermes_cli/main.py:5792 — CLI process-kill polling
hermes_cli/profiles.py:782 — profile stop wait loop
plugins/google_meet/process_manager.py:74
tools/browser_tool.py:1215, 1255 — browser daemon ownership probes
tools/mcp_tool.py:1255, 3374 — MCP stdio orphan tracking
The watcher source in gateway/run.py:2810 is a multi-line string
that gets spawned as an inline ``python -c "..."`` subprocess, so
it can't import gateway.status. The fix for that callsite inlines
the same ctypes probe directly into the watcher source.
Tested on Windows 10 with the hermes gateway + Telegram bot:
- gateway start → alive
- 5 consecutive ``hermes gateway status`` invocations → gateway
alive after every one, same PID reported each time (37520, 21952)
- gateway.log shows uninterrupted operation; no spurious shutdown
entries; cron ticker and kanban dispatcher still running on
their 60-second cadence
- bot continues answering Telegram messages throughout
Ships alongside an exit-path diagnostic wrapper in
``hermes_cli/gateway.py::run_gateway()`` that captures every way
``asyncio.run(start_gateway(...))`` can return (success, SystemExit,
KeyboardInterrupt, BaseException, atexit) with full traceback to
``logs/gateway-exit-diag.log``. This was used to prove the gateway
was being hard-killed externally (no exit event fired) and should
be kept for future Windows debugging.

feat(windows): gateway as a Scheduled Task + Startup-folder fallback
Hermes gateway now installs as a real Windows service via
`hermes gateway install`, auto-starts on user logon, and stays running
across reboots. Mirrors the launchd (macOS) / systemd (Linux) contract
so the rest of the CLI dispatcher just plugs into the same `install /
uninstall / start / stop / restart / status` entrypoints.
Primary implementation is the new `hermes_cli/gateway_windows.py`:
- `schtasks /Create /SC ONLOGON /RL LIMITED /RU <user> /NP /IT` creates
a per-user Scheduled Task running as the current user at next logon,
with no UAC prompt and no stored password. Same pattern OpenClaw uses.
- When `schtasks /Create` returns "Access is denied" or times out
(locked-down corporate boxes, 15s/30s hard + no-output cutoffs),
fall back to writing a `.cmd` file into
`%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\`, which
Windows Explorer fires at every logon. Either path produces the same
end-user experience.
- `_spawn_detached()` launches `pythonw.exe -m hermes_cli.main gateway
run --replace` directly with `DETACHED_PROCESS |
CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP | CREATE_NO_WINDOW |
CREATE_BREAKAWAY_FROM_JOB` + DEVNULL stdio + sidecar
`logs/gateway-stdio.log`. Going through pythonw.exe (no console)
instead of a cmd.exe shim is what lets the gateway survive the
spawning shell's exit on Windows — documented in
`references/windows-subprocess-sigint-storm.md`.
- Two separate quoting helpers for cmd.exe vs schtasks (`/TR` argument)
— they're different parsers and mixing breaks both. Same split
OpenClaw documents in src/daemon/schtasks.ts.
- `_wait_for_gateway_ready()` + `_report_gateway_start()` poll for a
live gateway process after spawn and report the PID, so install
doesn't lie about success.
Dispatcher wiring in `hermes_cli/gateway.py`:
- `_gateway_command_inner()` gets Windows branches for install /
uninstall / start / stop / restart / status + `_is_service_installed`
+ `_is_service_running`. `gateway status` output + suggested
commands now mention `hermes gateway install` instead of
`sudo hermes gateway install --system` on Windows.
Two separable Windows fixes that only matter for a working
detached gateway, bundled here because shipping them independently
leaves install broken:
(1) Spurious CTRL_C_EVENT on detached pythonw runs. When the gateway
is launched detached on Windows, something on the boot path (HTTPX /
python-telegram-bot / asyncio ProactorEventLoop subprocess plumbing)
synthesizes a Ctrl+C within ~60-90 seconds. Python 3.11 translates it
into KeyboardInterrupt inside `asyncio.run(start_gateway(...))`, the
outer `except KeyboardInterrupt: return` exits cleanly, and the
process dies with no shutdown log — "bot started typing, then
stopped" is the fingerprint because the interrupt fires mid-send.
Fix in `run_gateway()`: when `is_windows()` and stdin is not a TTY,
install `signal.signal(SIGINT, SIG_IGN)` + same for SIGBREAK. Real
console runs have a TTY and skip the absorber, so user Ctrl+C still
works interactively. Same family as commit 449ad952b's browser-tool
SIGINT absorber; cross-referenced in the ref doc.
(2) `wmic process get` is the process-list path used by
`_scan_gateway_pids()` / `find_gateway_pids()`, which power status,
stop, and restart on Windows. `C:\Windows\System32\wbem\WMIC.exe` has
been deprecated since Windows 10 21H1 and is not installed on modern
Win 10/11 boxes, so `find_gateway_pids()` silently returns [] — status
sees no gateway even when one is running. Fix: `shutil.which("wmic")`
first, fall back to PowerShell's `Get-CimInstance Win32_Process`
emitting the same LIST-style `CommandLine=...` / `ProcessId=...` pairs
the downstream parser already handles. Zero behavior change on boxes
where wmic still works.
Verified end-to-end on Windows 10 (Delta-1):
- `hermes gateway install` → falls back to Startup folder (access
denied on schtasks for this user) + detached pythonw spawn, PID
reported correctly.
- Gateway connects to Telegram, answers messages, stays alive past
2min (previously died at ~85s with no shutdown log).
- `hermes gateway stop` + `uninstall` both clean up both tracks.

fix(windows installer): UTF-8 BOM, tiered extras, skip tinker-atropos by default
install.ps1 had three related problems that compounded into `hermes dashboard` failing to boot on Windows with 'No module named fastapi': 1. UTF-8 BOM missing. Windows PowerShell 5.1 (the default on Windows 10/11, which is what `irm | iex` runs under) reads files without a BOM as cp1252. install.ps1 has em-dashes, arrows, check marks, etc. — PS 5.1 mangled them and the file failed to parse. Added UTF-8 BOM so PS 5.1, PS 7, and the in-memory `irm | iex` path all read the file identically. 2. `uv pip install -e .[all]` had a single-tier silent fallback to bare `.` on any failure, with `2>&1 | Out-Null` swallowing the error. Any transient extras install failure (network hiccup, wheel build issue, etc.) would drop every optional extra including [web], and the installer would still print 'Main package installed'. Replaced with a four-tier fallback (.[all] -> PyPI-only extras -> dashboard+core -> bare) that prints output at every step and a targeted [web] verify+repair at the end so `hermes dashboard` specifically is never silently broken. 3. tinker-atropos was installed unconditionally after the main install. tinker-atropos/pyproject.toml pulls atroposlib and tinker from git+https://github.com/... which can fail on locked-down networks, flaky DNS, or rate-limited github.com and would half-install the venv. install.sh already skipped it by default with a one-liner for users who actually do RL training — install.ps1 now matches that behavior. Parse-checked clean under Windows PowerShell 5.1.26100.8115 (5318 tokens, 0 parse errors). |

fix(windows): browser tool + spurious SIGINT from subprocess spawning
Three related Windows-only fixes that together make the browser toolset
actually usable on Windows. Symptom chain: user invokes browser_navigate
-> tool returns {"success": false, "error": "Daemon process exited
during startup with no error output"} and the CLI exits mid-turn with
the session summary.
Root cause (3 layers):
1. tools/browser_tool.py::_find_agent_browser() resolved
node_modules/.bin/agent-browser to the extensionless POSIX shell
shim via Path.exists(). On Windows, CreateProcessW cannot execute
that script (WinError 193 "not a valid Win32 application"). Fix:
delegate to shutil.which with path=node_modules/.bin so PATHEXT
picks up agent-browser.CMD on Windows and the extensionless shim
stays correct on POSIX.
2. Windows Terminal / Win32 delivers a spurious CTRL_C_EVENT to the
parent hermes.exe whenever a background thread spawns a .cmd
subprocess. Python 3.11's default SIGINT handler raises
KeyboardInterrupt in MainThread, which unwinds prompt_toolkit's
app.run() -> cli.py::run()'s finally block calls _run_cleanup()
-> _emergency_cleanup_all_sessions -> spawns a concurrent
_run_browser_command("close", ...) on the same session the agent
thread just opened. Two agent-browser processes race on the same
--session name, the daemon startup loses, and the tool returns
the "Daemon process exited during startup" error. Fix: install a
Windows-only SIGINT handler that absorbs the signal silently.
Real user Ctrl+C still routes through prompt_toolkit's own c-c
keybinding at the TUI layer, which is how Claude Code handles the
same quirk (driving cancellation via the TUI key handler, not
signals).
3. In tools/browser_tool.py, both Popen sites now pass
creationflags=CREATE_NO_WINDOW | STARTF_USESTDHANDLES with
close_fds=True on Windows. CREATE_NO_WINDOW suppresses the .cmd
console flash; STARTF_USESTDHANDLES + close_fds ensures the child
inherits only our three chosen handles (DEVNULL stdin, temp-file
stdout/stderr) and no leaked parent console handles that could
confuse agent-browser's native daemon spawn. Notably we do NOT
add CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP - on Python 3.11 Windows the flag
interacts badly with asyncio's ProactorEventLoop and makes things
worse.
Verified end-to-end on Windows 10 / Windows Terminal / PowerShell:
browser_navigate to https://example.com returns
{"success": true, "title": "Example Domain"} and the CLI stays alive
for follow-up tool calls and assistant turns.

feat(skills): gate 7 Linux/macOS-only skills from Windows via platforms frontmatter
Hermes's skill loader (agent/skill_utils.skill_matches_platform) already honors the 'platforms:' frontmatter field and skip-loads skills whose declared platform list doesn't include sys.platform. Seven bundled skills are in fact Linux/macOS-only but never declared it, so they leak into Windows skill listings and sometimes load with broken instructions. Audited all 160 SKILL.md files (skills/ + optional-skills/) for Windows- hostile signals: apt-get/brew/systemd/chmod+x install flows, ptrace/proc runtime dependencies, bash-only launcher scripts, and package dependencies with no Windows build. The 7 below fail one or more of those tests in a way that fundamentally can't be papered over by docs edits: minecraft-modpack-server bash start.sh + chmod +x + apt openjdk evaluating-llms-harness lm-eval-harness bash launcher scripts distributed-llm-pretraining- torchtitan bash multi-node torchrun launcher python-debugpy remote attach relies on /proc ptrace_scope pytorch-fsdp NCCL backend; Windows path is WSL only tensorrt-llm NVIDIA TensorRT-LLM has no Windows build searxng-search Docker volume flow assumes POSIX $(pwd) All seven get 'platforms: [linux, macos]'. On Windows the loader now skips them silently — no more phantom skill listings, no more mid-task failures because an Apple-only path was surfaced as a suggestion. Cross-platform skills that merely CONTAIN signals in examples or install-instructions (brew install as one of several paths, /tmp/ in a code snippet, etc.) are NOT touched by this commit. A broader audit that declares the ~140 cross-platform skills as 'platforms: [linux, macos, windows]' can follow as a separate change once each has been verified working on Windows. The installed user copies under ~/AppData/Local/hermes/skills/ (when they exist) are also patched so the running session reflects the gating immediately, but only the in-repo files are committed here. |

fix(windows): auto-install Playwright Chromium + surface it in doctor
scripts/install.sh runs 'npx playwright install --with-deps chromium' on every Linux distro after the npm-install step, which is why browser tools Just Work on Linux. scripts/install.ps1 never did the equivalent step, so on native Windows installs check_browser_requirements() in tools/browser_tool.py would return False (no Chromium under %LOCALAPPDATA%\ms-playwright) and every browser_* tool got silently filtered out of the agent's tool schema — no error, no log entry, user just wondered why the tools didn't exist. Two-part fix: 1. scripts/install.ps1: after 'npm install' in InstallDir succeeds, run 'npx playwright install chromium'. Resolves npx via the same execution-policy-aware logic already used for npm (prefer npx.cmd next to npmExe, fall back to Get-Command). Surfaces a warning + manual-recovery hint when the install fails, matching install.sh behaviour for distros. 2. hermes_cli/doctor.py: after the agent-browser check, lazily import tools.browser_tool and reuse the exact same _chromium_installed() predicate check_browser_requirements() uses, so the doctor signal cannot drift from the runtime gate.

docs: add Windows-Specific Quirks section to hermes-agent skill + keystroke diagnostic
Adds a dedicated '## Windows-Specific Quirks' section to the hermes-agent skill so Windows pitfalls have one discoverable place to evolve. Inaugural entries cover: - Input / keybindings — Alt+Enter intercepted by Windows Terminal, Ctrl+Enter as the Windows newline keystroke, mintty/git-bash behavior, pointer to scripts/keystroke_diagnostic.py for investigation. - Config / files — UTF-8 BOM HTTP-400 trap. - execute_code / sandbox — WinError 10106 SYSTEMROOT root cause + _WINDOWS_ESSENTIAL_ENV_VARS fix location. - Testing / contributing — scripts/run_tests.sh POSIX-venv limitation and the system-Python workaround, POSIX-only test skip-guard patterns. - Path / filesystem — line-ending warnings (cosmetic), forward-slash portability. Collapses the old scattered Windows bullets under 'Platform-specific issues' into a single pointer at the new dedicated section so there's only one place to maintain this content. Also adds the scripts/keystroke_diagnostic.py the skill now references — a small prompt_toolkit Application that prints the Keys.* identifier and raw escape bytes for every keystroke. Used to establish the Ctrl+Enter = c-j fact on Windows Terminal; generally useful for anyone adding a platform-aware keybinding. |

feat: Ctrl+Enter inserts newline on Windows Terminal
Windows Terminal intercepts Alt+Enter for its fullscreen shortcut, leaving Windows users with no Enter-involving way to insert a newline in the Hermes prompt. Fix it by reclaiming c-j on Windows only: - _bind_prompt_submit_keys now binds c-j (LF) to submit only on POSIX, where thin PTYs (docker exec, some SSH configs) deliver Enter as LF. On Windows plain Enter is always c-m, so c-j is free. - Windows-only prompt binding: c-j inserts a newline. Windows Terminal sends Ctrl+Enter as LF, so the user-facing keystroke is Ctrl+Enter — no terminal settings changes required. - Alt+Enter binding unchanged; still works on mac/Linux/WSL. - Test TestPromptToolkitTerminalCompatibility::test_lf_enter_binds_to_submit_handler split into platform-aware assertions for POSIX vs win32. - Fixed the Ctrl+J claim in hermes_cli/tips.py (was wrong before this commit even on POSIX) to point Windows users at Ctrl+Enter. Tradeoff: on Windows, raw Ctrl+J (without Enter) also inserts a newline, since WT collapses Ctrl+Enter and Ctrl+J to the same c-j keycode. No conflicting Hermes binding existed for Ctrl+J, so this is a harmless side effect. |

feat: enrich system-prompt environment hints with host + terminal-backend info
build_environment_hints() now emits a factual block describing the execution environment on every prompt build: * Local backend: host OS, $HOME, and cwd — so the agent stops guessing paths from the hostname. Windows also gets two specific callouts: - hostname != username (prevents C:\Users\<hostname>\... bugs) - `terminal` shells out to bash (git-bash/MSYS), not PowerShell * Remote backend (docker/singularity/modal/daytona/ssh/vercel_sandbox): host info is SUPPRESSED — the agent's tools can't touch the host, so showing it is misleading. Instead we probe the backend once per process with `uname/whoami/pwd` and cache the result. On probe failure, fall back to a per-backend description that states only what we know from the backend choice itself (container type + likely OS family) without inventing user/cwd/$HOME. Linux/Mac local users now get a small helpful 3-line host block instead of an empty string. Zero change to the existing WSL hint paragraph. Tests: 8 new/updated in TestEnvironmentHints, including a regression guard that fails if a new remote backend is added without listing it in _REMOTE_TERMINAL_BACKENDS. |

lint: enable PLW1514 as a blocking ruff rule
Turns the existing 'all lints disabled' stance into 'exactly one lint
enabled' — PLW1514 (unspecified-encoding) catches bare open() /
read_text() / write_text() calls that default to locale encoding on
Windows (cp1252), silently corrupting non-ASCII content.
Changes:
1. pyproject.toml
- Migrate [tool.ruff] top-level select → [tool.ruff.lint].select
(deprecated config location, ruff was warning on every run)
- Add preview = true (PLW1514 is a preview rule in ruff 0.15.x)
- select = ['PLW1514'] (exactly one rule, deliberately minimal)
- per-file-ignores exempt tests/, plugins/, skills/, optional-skills/ —
those have their own conventions or intentionally exercise edge cases
2. website/scripts/extract-skills.py
- Fix 3 remaining bare opens (website/ was excluded from the main
sweep but needed for ruff check . to go green)
3. tests/test_lint_config.py (new, 5 tests)
- Guards against accidental rule removal. If someone deletes PLW1514
from the select list or disables preview mode, these tests fail
with a loud message explaining why the rule exists.
Paired with a companion commit (held locally for now, pending a token
with workflow scope) that adds a blocking ruff step to .github/workflows/
lint.yml. Without that companion commit, ruff is configured correctly
but nothing in CI enforces it yet — the advisory PR comment will still
surface new PLW1514 violations though, so authors see them.
Verified: ruff check . → exit 0, 0 violations across the repo.
Test suite: 90 passed, 14 skipped, 0 failed.

codebase: add encoding='utf-8' to all bare open() calls (PLW1514)
Closes the last Python-on-Windows UTF-8 exposure by making every
text-mode open() call explicit about its encoding.
Before: on Windows, bare open(path, 'r') defaults to the system
locale encoding (cp1252 on US-locale installs). That means reading
any config/yaml/markdown/json file with non-ASCII content either
crashes with UnicodeDecodeError or silently mis-decodes bytes.
After: all 89 affected call sites in production code now pass
encoding='utf-8' explicitly. Works identically on every platform
and every locale, no surprise behavior.
Mechanical sweep via:
ruff check --preview --extend-select PLW1514 --unsafe-fixes --fix --exclude 'tests,venv,.venv,node_modules,website,optional-skills, skills,tinker-atropos,plugins' .
All 89 fixes have the same shape: open(x) or open(x, mode) became
open(x, encoding='utf-8') or open(x, mode, encoding='utf-8'). Nothing
else changed. Every modified file still parses and the Windows/sandbox
test suite is still green (85 passed, 14 skipped, 0 failed across
tests/tools/test_code_execution_windows_env.py +
tests/tools/test_code_execution_modes.py + tests/tools/test_env_passthrough.py +
tests/test_hermes_bootstrap.py).
Scope notes:
- tests/ excluded: test fixtures can use locale encoding intentionally
(exercising edge cases). If we want to tighten tests later that's
a separate PR.
- plugins/ excluded: plugin-specific conventions may differ; plugin
authors own their code.
- optional-skills/ and skills/ excluded: skill scripts are user-authored
and we don't want to mass-edit them.
- website/ and tinker-atropos/ excluded: vendored / generated content.
46 files touched, 89 +/- lines (symmetric replacement). No behavior
change on POSIX or on Windows when the file is ASCII; bug fix on
Windows when the file contains non-ASCII.

hermes_bootstrap: Windows-only UTF-8 stdio shim for all entry points
Codebase-wide fix for Python-on-Windows UTF-8 footguns, complementing
the earlier execute_code sandbox fixes (which remain load-bearing for
when the sandbox explicitly scrubs child env).
Problem: Python on Windows has two long-standing text-encoding pitfalls:
1. sys.stdout/stderr are bound to the console code page (cp1252 on
US-locale installs) — print('café') crashes with UnicodeEncodeError.
2. Subprocess children don't know to use UTF-8 unless PYTHONUTF8 and/or
PYTHONIOENCODING are set in their env — so any Python we spawn
(linters, sandbox children, delegation workers) hits the same bug.
Solution: A tiny bootstrap module (hermes_bootstrap.py) imported as the
first statement of every Hermes entry point:
- hermes_cli/main.py (hermes / hermes-agent console_script)
- run_agent.py (hermes-agent direct)
- acp_adapter/entry.py (hermes-acp)
- gateway/run.py (messaging gateway)
- batch_runner.py (parallel batch mode)
- cli.py (legacy direct-launch CLI)
On Windows, the bootstrap:
- os.environ.setdefault('PYTHONUTF8', '1') (PEP 540 UTF-8 mode)
- os.environ.setdefault('PYTHONIOENCODING', 'utf-8')
- sys.stdout/stderr/stdin.reconfigure(encoding='utf-8', errors='replace')
Children inherit the env vars → they run in UTF-8 mode.
Current process's stdio is reconfigured → print('café') works now.
On POSIX (Linux/macOS), the bootstrap is a complete no-op. We don't
touch LANG, LC_*, or anything else — users who have intentionally
configured a non-UTF-8 locale aren't affected. POSIX systems are
already UTF-8 by default in 99% of modern setups, so there's nothing
to fix.
setdefault() (not overwrite) means users who explicitly set PYTHONUTF8=0
or PYTHONIOENCODING=cp1252 in their environment are respected.
What this does NOT fix: bare open(path, 'w') calls in the *parent*
process still default to locale encoding because PYTHONUTF8 is only
read at interpreter init. A ruff PLW1514 sweep (separate follow-up)
will add explicit encoding='utf-8' at those ~219 call sites for
belt-and-suspenders.
Tests (17): 16 passed, 1 skipped on Windows.
- Windows: env vars set, stdio reconfigured, child inherits UTF-8 mode
- POSIX: complete no-op (verified on fake POSIX + skipped on real
POSIX since we don't have a Linux box in this session)
- Idempotence: multiple calls safe
- Graceful degradation: non-reconfigurable streams don't crash
- User opt-out: explicit PYTHONUTF8=0 is respected
- Load order: every entry point's FIRST top-level import is
hermes_bootstrap, enforced by an AST-level parametrized test
pyproject.toml: added hermes_bootstrap to py-modules so it ships with
pip installs.

execute_code: set PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8 + PYTHONUTF8=1 in child env
Third Windows-specific sandbox bug (after WinError 10106 and the UTF-8
file-write bug): user scripts that print non-ASCII to stdout crash with
UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character '\u2192'
in position N: character maps to <undefined>
Root cause: Python's sys.stdout on Windows is bound to the console code
page (cp1252 on US-locale installs) when the process is attached to a
pipe without PYTHONIOENCODING set. LLM-generated scripts routinely
print em-dashes, arrows, accented chars, and emoji — all of which cp1252
can't encode.
Fix: spawn the sandbox child with:
PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8 # sys.stdin/stdout/stderr all UTF-8
PYTHONUTF8=1 # PEP 540 UTF-8 mode — open() defaults to UTF-8 too
PYTHONUTF8 is the belt-and-suspenders half: LLM scripts that call
open(path, 'w') without encoding= in user code will now produce UTF-8
files by default, matching what the sandbox already does for its own
staging files.
The parent side already decodes child stdout/stderr as UTF-8 with
errors='replace' (lines 1345-1347) so the end-to-end chain is clean.
On POSIX these values usually match the locale default already, so
setting them is harmless belt-and-suspenders for C/POSIX-locale
containers and minimal base images.
Tests added (4) — total file now at 28 passed, 1 skipped on Windows:
- test_popen_env_sets_pythonioencoding_utf8 (source grep)
- test_popen_env_sets_pythonutf8_mode (source grep)
- test_live_child_can_print_non_ascii (cross-platform live test)
- test_windows_child_without_utf8_env_would_fail (Windows negative
control — actually reproduces the bug without our env overrides,
proving the fix is load-bearing on this system)

tests: skip POSIX-venv-layout tests on Windows
test_code_execution_modes.py had two test-level failures and two class-level stale skip reasons on this Windows-native branch: - TestResolveChildPython::test_project_with_virtualenv_picks_venv_python - TestResolveChildPython::test_project_prefers_virtualenv_over_conda Both fail on Windows with OSError: [WinError 1314] — they call pathlib.Path.symlink_to() to build a fake venv, which requires developer mode or admin on Windows. They also assume POSIX venv layout (bin/python) where Windows uses Scripts/python.exe. Skip them with a specific, accurate reason. Also updated two class-level skipif reasons that said 'execute_code is POSIX-only' — no longer true on this branch. New reason explains it's the test infrastructure (symlinks + POSIX venv layout) that's the blocker, not execute_code itself. Results on Windows Python 3.11: Before: 41 passed, 10 skipped, 2 failed After: 43 passed, 12 skipped, 0 failed |

execute_code: write sandbox files as UTF-8 on Windows
Second Windows-specific sandbox bug (WinError 10106 was the first):
after the env-scrub fix let the child start, it immediately failed to
import hermes_tools with:
SyntaxError: (unicode error) 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x97
in position 154: invalid start byte
Root cause: _execute_local wrote the generated hermes_tools.py stub and
the user's script.py via open(path, 'w') without encoding=. On Windows
the default text-mode encoding is cp1252 (system locale), which encodes
em-dashes (used in the stub's docstrings) as 0x97. Python then decodes
source files as UTF-8 (PEP 3120) on import, chokes on 0x97, and the
sandbox dies before any tool call.
Fix: pass encoding='utf-8' to all four file opens in the code_execution
path — the two staging writes in _execute_local (hermes_tools.py +
script.py) and the two RPC file-transport reads/writes in the generated
remote stub. JSON is ASCII-safe for most payloads but tool results
(terminal output, web_extract content) routinely carry non-ASCII.
Tests added (4):
- test_stub_and_script_writes_specify_utf8 — source grep guard
- test_file_rpc_stub_uses_utf8 — generated remote stub check
- test_stub_source_roundtrips_through_utf8 — concrete round-trip
- test_windows_default_encoding_would_have_failed — negative control
(skips on modern Python builds where default is already UTF-8
compatible, but retained for platforms where the regression could
return)
24/25 tests pass on Windows 3.11 (negative control skips because this
Python build handles em-dashes via cp1252 subset — the fix is still
correct, just the corruption path isn't always triggerable).

tests: lock in POSIX-equivalence guard for execute_code env scrubber
Adds TestPosixEquivalence to test_code_execution_windows_env.py. The class pins the invariant that _scrub_child_env(env, is_windows=False) produces byte-for-byte identical output to the pre-refactor inline scrubber, across a matrix of: - 2 synthetic envs (POSIX-shaped, Windows-shaped-on-POSIX) - 3 passthrough rules (none, single-var, everything) - 1 real-os.environ check on whatever platform runs the test Plus a superset sanity check: is_windows=True must keep everything is_windows=False keeps, and any extras must come from the _WINDOWS_ESSENTIAL_ENV_VARS allowlist. Rationale: the previous commit refactored the env-scrubbing inline block into a helper. Future changes to that helper must not silently regress POSIX behavior — if someone needs to change it, they update _legacy_posix_scrubber in lockstep so the churn is visible in review. All 21 tests in the file pass locally on Windows (pytest 9.0.3). 8 of them are parametrized equivalence checks that run on every OS. |

execute_code: pass through Windows OS-essential env vars
The sandbox's env scrubbing was dropping SYSTEMROOT, WINDIR, COMSPEC,
APPDATA, etc. On Windows this broke the child process before any RPC
could happen:
OSError: [WinError 10106] The requested service provider could not
be loaded or initialized
Python's socket module uses SYSTEMROOT to locate mswsock.dll during
Winsock initialization. Without it, socket.socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM)
fails — and the existing loopback-TCP fallback for Windows couldn't work.
Fix: add a small Windows-only allowlist (_WINDOWS_ESSENTIAL_ENV_VARS)
matched by exact uppercase name, after the existing secret-substring
block. The secret block still runs first, so the allowlist cannot be
used to exfiltrate credentials. Also extract the env scrubber into a
testable helper (_scrub_child_env) that takes is_windows as a parameter,
so the logic can be unit-tested on any OS.
Live Winsock smoke test verifies that a child spawned with the scrubbed
env can now create an AF_INET socket on a real Windows host; the test
is guarded by sys.platform == 'win32' so POSIX CI stays green.

fix(windows): prefer npm.cmd over npm.ps1, skip .py argv0 in relaunch
Two fixes from teknium1's next install run:
1. **npm install: "npm.ps1 cannot be loaded because running scripts is
disabled on this system."** Get-Command's default PATHEXT ordering
picked up ``npm.ps1`` (the PowerShell shim) ahead of ``npm.cmd`` (the
batch shim). Most Windows users have PowerShell's execution policy
set to Restricted or RemoteSigned, which blocks unsigned ``.ps1``
files. ``npm.cmd`` has no such restriction and works universally.
Install-NodeDeps now detects when Get-Command returned npm.ps1, looks
for a sibling npm.cmd in the same directory, and prefers it. Prints
an info line so the user sees why. Emits a warning + hint if only
npm.ps1 is available.
2. **"Launch hermes chat now? Y" crashes with "%1 is not a valid Win32
application" on Windows installs.** The setup wizard calls
``relaunch(["chat"])``; ``resolve_hermes_bin()`` returned
``sys.argv[0]`` which was ``...\\hermes_cli\\main.py`` (because hermes
was launched via ``python -m hermes_cli.main`` during setup).
On Windows, ``os.access(script.py, os.X_OK)`` returns True because
PATHEXT lists ``.py`` when the Python launcher is registered — but
``subprocess.run([script.py, ...])`` can't actually execute a ``.py``
directly. CreateProcessW needs a real PE file.
Fixed ``resolve_hermes_bin`` to reject ``.py``/``.pyc`` argv0 values
on Windows specifically. Falls through to ``shutil.which("hermes")``
(hermes.exe in the venv Scripts dir) or, as a final fallback, lets
build_relaunch_argv build ``[sys.executable, "-m", "hermes_cli.main"]``
which is bulletproof. POSIX behaviour unchanged — ``.py`` argv0 with
a shebang + chmod+x is still a valid exec target there.
3 new tests cover the Windows paths: .py argv0 + hermes.exe on PATH →
returns hermes.exe; .py argv0 + no PATH → returns None (caller uses
python -m); POSIX + executable .py → still accepted.
26 relaunch tests pass, no POSIX regressions.

teknium1 noticed execute_code was missing from his enabled tools on Windows.

fix(windows): %1 install error, patch CRLF false-negative, SOUL.md BOM
Three bugs from teknium1's successful install + diagnostic chat on Windows:
1. **Start-Process -FilePath npm.cmd fails with "%1 is not a valid Win32
application".** Start-Process bypasses cmd.exe and PATHEXT to call
CreateProcessW directly, which refuses .cmd batch shims. Switched
Install-NodeDeps to use PowerShell's invocation operator (``& $npmExe
install --silent *> $log``) which DOES honour PATHEXT. Extracted a
``_Run-NpmInstall`` helper so the browser + TUI paths share the same
logic. Captures $LASTEXITCODE correctly, still surfaces the real
stderr on failure with a log-file pointer for the full output.
2. **patch tool returns false-negative on Windows due to CRLF round-trip.**
Root cause was upstream of patch: ``subprocess.Popen(..., text=True,
stdin=PIPE)`` on Windows translates ``\\n`` → ``\\r\\n`` when data flows
through the stdin pipe. ``_pipe_stdin()`` was writing the patch's
new_content string through a text-mode pipe, bash then wrote those
CRLF bytes to disk, and patch's post-write verify compared the
on-disk CRLF bytes against the original LF-only string — fail.
Fixed in two places for defense in depth:
- ``_pipe_stdin()`` now writes through ``proc.stdin.buffer`` with
explicit UTF-8 encoding, bypassing Python's newline translation on
every platform. No behaviour change on POSIX (bytes are identical)
but stops the CRLF injection on Windows.
- ``patch_replace``'s post-write verify normalizes CRLF→LF on both
sides before comparing, so even if some future backend still
translates newlines the patch tool won't report a bogus failure.
3. **SOUL.md gets a UTF-8 BOM on Windows PowerShell 5.1.** ``Set-Content
-Encoding UTF8`` on PS5.1 writes UTF-8 WITH a byte-order-mark (changed
in PS7 via ``utf8NoBOM``). Hermes's prompt-injection scanner sees
the BOM (U+FEFF invisible char) and refuses to load the file, so
SOUL.md's persona instructions never get applied.
Fixed by writing the file via ``[System.IO.File]::WriteAllText``
with an explicit ``UTF8Encoding($false)`` — BOM-free on every
PowerShell version.
All POSIX behaviour verified unchanged: 198 tests pass across
test_file_operations, test_local_env_cwd_recovery, test_code_execution,
test_windows_native_support, test_windows_compat.

fix(install.ps1): step out of $InstallDir before touching it + harden repo probe
User hit 'fatal: not in a git directory' on re-install because: 1. They ran Remove-Item -Force $env:LOCALAPPDATA\hermes -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue WHILE cd'd inside the install dir. Windows silently refuses to delete a directory any shell is currently cd'd inside and leaves the skeleton intact, but the -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue swallowed every partial-delete failure so they thought the wipe succeeded. 2. The installer then walked into Install-Repository, saw $InstallDir still exists with a partial .git stub, my repo-validity probe returned success (the probe's git rev-parse may have exit-code-zeroed in a way I didn't expect), and the real git fetch died with three 'fatal: not a git repository' errors. Two fixes belt-and-braces: - Main() now cds to $env:USERPROFILE at start if the current shell is inside $InstallDir. Harmless when the user ran from elsewhere; critical when they didn't. This alone fixes the user's case. - Install-Repository's 'is this a valid repo' probe now runs BOTH git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree AND git status, resets $LASTEXITCODE before each to avoid picking up a stale 0, and requires BOTH to succeed. Also requires rev-parse's output to match 'true' (not just exit 0) to rule out exit-0-with-empty-output edge cases. |

fix(install.ps1): validate existing repo via git itself + clean up broken stubs
teknium1 hit "fatal: not in a git directory" on re-install when the previous install left a $InstallDir\.git stub that Test-Path matched but git didn't recognize (three "fatal: not a git repository" lines, then the script exited before touching anything). Two bugs: 1. Test-Path "$InstallDir\.git" was a weak gate — it matches .git whether it's a directory, file, symlink, submodule gitfile, OR a broken stub from a failed previous Remove-Item. Replaced with a real repo probe: Push-Location + git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree + $LASTEXITCODE check. If git itself can't see a repo, we treat the directory as not-a-repo and fall through to fresh clone. 2. The original update path ignored $LASTEXITCODE. fetch/checkout/pull all emitted fatals but the script kept going. Now each command checks $LASTEXITCODE and throws with an explicit message. Also: when the directory exists but isn't a valid repo, the new code wipes it (Remove-Item -ErrorAction Stop) and falls through to fresh clone, instead of dying with the old "Directory exists but is not a git repository" error. If the wipe itself fails (file locked, hermes still running), we throw with a user-readable "close any programs using files in <dir>" hint. Refactored the function to use a $didUpdate flag instead of my earlier draft's early `return` — that was skipping the submodule init block at the bottom of the function. Both the update and fresh-clone paths now fall through to the submodule init step, which is correct (git pull doesn't auto-update submodules). PowerShell structural check: 21 functions defined, braces balanced. |

fix(windows): quote cache paths in bash + augment PATH so rg/bash resolve on first launch
Three interrelated bugs from teknium1's first interactive chat on Windows: 1. **Snapshot/cwd file paths unquoted in bash command strings.** The session bootstrap and per-command wrapper interpolated ``self._snapshot_path`` / ``self._cwd_file`` unquoted into bash commands like ``export -p > C:/Users/ryanc/.../hermes-snap-xxx.sh``. Git Bash's MSYS2 layer handles ``C:/...`` paths correctly ONLY when quoted; unquoted, the colon and forward-slash get glob-parsed and the redirect targets a bogus path. Symptom: every terminal command emitted two ``C:/Users/.../hermes-snap-*.sh (No such file or directory)`` lines that bled into stdout (``stderr=STDOUT`` on the local backend) and corrupted file contents when the agent wrote to scratch paths via the terminal tool. Fix: ``shlex.quote()`` every interpolation of ``_snapshot_path`` and ``_cwd_file`` in base.py — no-op on POSIX (the paths contain no shell-metachars), critical on Windows. 2. **Stale PATH on first hermes launch after install.** ``install.ps1`` adds the PortableGit ``cmd`` / ``bin`` / ``usr\bin`` directories to the Windows **User** PATH via ``SetEnvironmentVariable(..., "User")``. That write propagates to newly *spawned* processes only — already-running shells (including the one the user types ``hermes`` into immediately after install) retain their old PATH. So hermes starts with a PATH that doesn't include bash, rg, grep, ssh — and ``search_files`` reports "rg/find not available" when the user clearly just installed them. Fix: new ``_augment_path_with_known_tools()`` helper called from ``configure_windows_stdio()`` on startup. Prepends the Hermes-managed Git directories + the WinGet Links directory (where ripgrep lands) to ``os.environ['PATH']`` if they exist on disk but aren't already in PATH. Subsequent subprocess calls (including bash spawns via ``_find_bash()``) inherit the augmented PATH and find everything. No-op on POSIX and when the directories don't exist. 3. **Root cause of "file content corruption".** #1 was the proximate cause. Errors like ``C:/Users/.../hermes-snap-xxx.sh: No such file or directory`` were emitted on stderr by the failed redirect, captured into stdout via ``stderr=subprocess.STDOUT``, and if the agent used terminal commands like ``cat > file`` the leaked error bytes became part of the file. Fixing #1 eliminates this entirely. ## Tests All 77 Windows-compat tests still pass on Linux (POSIX path is shlex.quote('/tmp/foo.sh') → '/tmp/foo.sh' — unchanged). ## Not addressed here (would need a bigger design) - Python file tools (``write_file``, ``read_file``) and the bash-backed terminal tool see DIFFERENT views of ``/tmp`` on Windows. Python treats ``/tmp`` as ``C:\tmp`` (drive-relative), Git Bash's MSYS2 treats it as a virtual mount to the PortableGit install's ``tmp\``. Would need a translation shim in the Python tools to resolve bash-virtual paths to their native-Windows equivalents. Workaround for users today: use absolute native paths (``C:\Users\you\...``) instead of ``/tmp/...`` when crossing between terminal and Python file tools. |

Three real bugs from teknium1's first Windows install run:
1. **MinGit has no bash.exe.** MinGit is the minimal-automation Git for Windows
distribution — it ships git.exe but deliberately strips bash and the POSIX
coreutils. Installer logged "Could not locate bash.exe" and Hermes would
fail to run any shell command. Switched to PortableGit — the full Git for
Windows minus the installer UI. PortableGit ships bash.exe at
<root>\bin\bash.exe plus sh, awk, sed, grep, curl, ssh in usr\bin\. ARM64
variant is detected separately (PortableGit-*-arm64.7z.exe). 32-bit falls
back to MinGit-32-bit with a warning (PortableGit is 64-bit only).
PortableGit ships as a 7z self-extractor (56MB vs MinGit's 38MB). We
invoke it with `-o<target> -y` to extract silently — no 7z install needed,
it's self-contained.
Updated tools/environments/local.py::_find_bash candidate order to prefer
the PortableGit layout (<root>\bin\bash.exe) with the MinGit layout
(<root>\usr\bin\bash.exe) as a fallback so existing installs keep working.
2. **os.execvp "Exec format error" on Windows.** Setup wizard's "Launch
hermes chat now? Y" called `os.execvp(["hermes", "chat"])` which on
Windows can only swap to real Win32 .exe files — chokes with OSError(8)
on .cmd batch shims and Python console-script wrappers. Added a
win32 branch in hermes_cli/relaunch.py::relaunch() that uses
subprocess.run + sys.exit — functionally identical (user sees "hermes
exited, then new hermes started") with one extra PID in play. POSIX
path is UNCHANGED — still uses os.execvp for in-place replacement.
Catches OSError in the Windows branch and surfaces a "open a new
terminal so PATH picks up, then re-run hermes" hint instead of a
cryptic traceback.
3. **npm install failures silent on Windows.** The install.ps1 was invoking
`npm install --silent 2>&1 | Out-Null` inside a try/catch. PowerShell's
try/catch does NOT trigger on non-zero process exit codes — only on
unhandled .NET exceptions — so npm failing printed a generic "npm
install failed" with zero information about WHY. The silent pipe ate
the stderr.
Rewrote Install-NodeDeps to:
- Resolve npm.cmd via Get-Command (respects PATHEXT) instead of
relying on bare `npm` name resolution.
- Use Start-Process with -PassThru to capture the actual exit code.
- Redirect stderr to a temp log and surface the first ~800 chars of
the real npm error when install fails, plus the log path for the
full text.
- Fail loudly with the right exit code instead of a misleading success.
- Bail cleanly with a helpful message when npm isn't on PATH at all.
4. **"True" printing to console after Node check.** `Test-Node` returns $true;
installer called it as a bare statement (no assignment, no cast). PowerShell
prints bare return values. Wrapped the call in `[void](Test-Node)`.
## Tests
- Added 3 new tests in tests/hermes_cli/test_relaunch.py covering the
Windows branch: subprocess is called (not execvp), child exit code
propagates, OSError surfaces a helpful message. All 23 tests pass
(20 existing + 3 new).
- 77 Windows-compat tests still pass, POSIX behaviour unchanged.

feat(windows): close remaining POSIX-only landmines — TUI crash, kanban waitpid, AF_UNIX sandbox, /bin/bash, npm .cmd shims, cwd tracking, detach flags
Second pass on native Windows support, driven by a systematic audit across
five areas: POSIX-only primitives (signal.SIGKILL/SIGHUP/SIGPIPE, os.WNOHANG,
os.setsid), path translation bugs (/c/Users → C:\Users), subprocess patterns
(npm.cmd batch shims, start_new_session no-op on Windows), subsystem health
(cron, gateway daemon, update flow), and module-level import guards.
Every change is platform-gated — POSIX (Linux/macOS) behaviour is preserved
bit-identical. Explicit "do no harm" test: test_posix_path_preserved_on_linux,
test_posix_noop, test_windows_detach_popen_kwargs_is_posix_equivalent_on_posix.
## New module
- hermes_cli/_subprocess_compat.py — shared helpers (resolve_node_command,
windows_detach_flags, windows_hide_flags, windows_detach_popen_kwargs).
All no-ops on non-Windows.
## CRITICAL fixes (would crash or silently break on Windows)
- tui_gateway/entry.py: SIGPIPE/SIGHUP referenced at module top level would
AttributeError on import on Windows, breaking `hermes --tui` entirely (it
spawns this module as a subprocess). Guard each signal.signal() call with
hasattr() and add SIGBREAK as Windows' SIGHUP equivalent.
- hermes_cli/kanban_db.py: os.waitpid(-1, os.WNOHANG) in dispatcher tick was
unguarded. os.WNOHANG doesn't exist on Windows. Gate the whole reap loop
behind `os.name != "nt"` — Windows has no zombies anyway.
- tools/code_execution_tool.py: AF_UNIX socket for execute_code RPC fails on
most Windows builds. Fall back to loopback TCP (AF_INET on 127.0.0.1:0
ephemeral port) when _IS_WINDOWS. HERMES_RPC_SOCKET env var now accepts
either a filesystem path (POSIX) or `tcp://127.0.0.1:<port>` (Windows).
Generated sandbox client parses both.
- cron/scheduler.py: `argv = ["/bin/bash", str(path)]` hardcoded. Use
shutil.which("bash") so Windows (Git Bash via MinGit) works, with a
readable error when bash is genuinely absent.
- 6 bare npm/npx spawn sites: tools_config.py x2, doctor.py, whatsapp.py
(npm install + node version probe), browser_tool.py x2. On Windows npm
is npm.cmd / npx is npx.cmd (batch shims); subprocess.Popen(["npm", ...])
fails with WinError 193. shutil.which(...) returns the absolute .cmd
path which CreateProcessW accepts because the extension routes through
cmd.exe /c. POSIX behaviour unchanged (shutil.which still returns the
same path subprocess would resolve itself).
## HIGH fixes (silent misbehaviour on Windows)
- tools/environments/local.py get_temp_dir: hardcoded /tmp returned on
Windows meant `_cwd_file = "/tmp/hermes-cwd-*.txt"`, which bash wrote
via MSYS2's virtual /tmp but native Python couldn't open. Result: cwd
tracking silently broken — `cd` in terminal tool did nothing. Windows
branch now returns `%HERMES_HOME%/cache/terminal` with forward slashes
(works in both bash and Python, guaranteed no spaces).
- tools/environments/local.py _make_run_env PATH injection: `/usr/bin not
in split(":")` heuristic mangles Windows PATH (";" separator). Gate
the injection behind `not _IS_WINDOWS`.
- hermes_cli/gateway.py launch_detached_profile_gateway_restart: outer
Popen + watcher-script Popen both used start_new_session=True, which
Windows silently ignores. Watcher stayed attached to CLI's console,
died when user closed terminal after `hermes update`, left gateway
stale. Now branches through windows_detach_popen_kwargs() helper
(CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP | DETACHED_PROCESS | CREATE_NO_WINDOW on
Windows, start_new_session=True on POSIX — identical to main).
## MEDIUM fixes
- gateway/run.py /restart and /update handlers: hardcoded bash/setsid
chain crashes on Windows when user triggers /update in-gateway. Now
has sys.platform=="win32" branch using sys.executable + a tiny
Python watcher with proper detach flags. POSIX path is unchanged.
- cli.py _git_repo_root: Git on Windows sometimes returns /c/Users/...
style paths that break subprocess.Popen(cwd=...) and Path().resolve().
Added _normalize_git_bash_path() helper that translates /c/Users,
/cygdrive/c, /mnt/c variants to native C:\Users form. POSIX no-op.
_git_repo_root() now routes every result through it.
- cli.py worktree .worktreeinclude: os.symlink on directories failed
hard on Windows (requires admin or Developer Mode). Falls back to
shutil.copytree with a warning log.
## Tests
- 29 new tests in tests/tools/test_windows_native_support.py covering:
subprocess_compat helpers, TUI entry signal guards, kanban waitpid
guard, code_execution TCP fallback source-level invariants, cron bash
resolution, npm/npx bare-spawn lint per-file, local env Windows temp
dir, PATH injection gating, git bash path normalization, symlink
fallback, gateway detached watcher flags.
- One existing test assertion adjusted in test_browser_homebrew_paths:
it compared captured Popen argv to the BARE `"npx"` literal; after the
shutil.which() change argv[0] is the absolute path. New assertion
checks the shape (two items, second is `agent-browser`) rather than
the exact first-item string. Behaviour unchanged; test was too strict.
All 56 tests pass on Linux (30 from previous commits + 26 new).
267 tests from the affected files/dirs (browser, code_exec, local_env,
process_registry, kanban_db, windows_compat) all pass — zero regressions.
tests/hermes_cli/ (3909 pass) and tests/gateway/ (5021 pass) unchanged;
all pre-existing test failures confirmed unrelated via `git stash` re-run.
## What's still deferred (LOW priority)
- Visible cmd-window flashes on short-lived console apps (~14 sites) —
cosmetic, needs a follow-up pass once we have user reports.
- agent/file_safety.py POSIX-only security deny patterns — separate
hardening task.
- tools/process_registry.py returning "/tmp" as fallback — theoretical;
reachable only when all env-var candidates fail.

fix(windows-editor): default EDITOR=notepad so /edit and Ctrl+X Ctrl+E work
Pre-existing Windows bug surfaced while reviewing the portable-MinGit
install: prompt_toolkit's Buffer.open_in_editor() falls back to POSIX
absolute paths (/usr/bin/nano, /usr/bin/vi, /usr/bin/emacs) that don't
exist on native Windows. When neither $EDITOR nor $VISUAL is set,
Ctrl+X Ctrl+E ("open prompt in editor") and /edit both silently do
nothing on Windows — the user hits the key, nothing happens, no error.
This wasn't caused by MinGit (full Git for Windows doesn't fix it either,
because the Windows Python subprocess call resolves `/usr/bin/nano` as
`C:\usr\bin\nano`, which doesn't exist even with nano installed).
Fixes:
- hermes_cli/stdio.py::configure_windows_stdio now sets EDITOR=notepad
on Windows if neither EDITOR nor VISUAL is set. notepad.exe is in
every Windows install, works as a blocking editor (subprocess.call
waits for the window to close), and writes back to the file.
- hermes_cli/config.py (hermes config edit): reorder fallback list so
Windows tries notepad first — previously nano led the list, which
required Git Bash / WSL to be in PATH.
- Users who want VSCode / Neovim / Notepad++ can still override via
$env:EDITOR — that's checked before our default kicks in. Docstring
spells out the common overrides.
The Ink TUI (`hermes --tui`) already handled Windows correctly via
ui-tui/src/lib/editor.ts falling back to notepad.exe on win32 — this
commit brings the classic prompt_toolkit CLI into parity.
3 new tests in test_windows_native_support.py verify:
- EDITOR=notepad gets set when unset on Windows
- Explicit $EDITOR is respected
- $VISUAL is respected (not overwritten by our default)
