When installing as root on Linux with the default FHS layout
(/usr/local/lib/hermes-agent), `uv python install` placed the managed
Python under /root/.local/share/uv/python/, which non-root users cannot
traverse. The shared /usr/local/bin/hermes wrapper then failed for them
with "bad interpreter: Permission denied" when execing the venv python.
Export UV_PYTHON_INSTALL_DIR and UV_PYTHON_BIN_DIR to /usr/local/share/uv/
in the root-FHS branch of resolve_install_layout so the managed Python
is world-readable and the shared wrapper works for any user.
Closes#21457
Tirith flags .app domains with a lookalike_tld finding because the TLD
"can be confused with file extensions". This is a false positive for
legitimate production APIs (e.g. api.example.app, lark.app).
Add _is_app_tld_finding() and a post-parse suppression block in
check_command_security(): if the only finding(s) on a warn verdict are
lookalike_tld entries for .app, downgrade the action to allow.
Mixed findings (e.g. .app + shortened_url) and block verdicts are
unaffected. Non-.app lookalike_tld findings (.zip, .exe, etc.) are
preserved.
Add 15 regression tests covering: .app-only suppression, mixed-finding
preservation, non-.app TLD preservation, block-verdict invariance, and
the helper's field-name and case-insensitivity behaviour.
Closes#24461
SDK Select fires onValueChange(value) not onChange({target:{value}}), so
all three bare onChange handlers silently received undefined from e.target.
Replace raw onChange with selectChangeHandler() — the existing helper that
wires both onValueChange and a guarded onChange — so selections register
regardless of which event the SDK Select dispatches.

Sub-issue 5 of #22034.
Right-click on the composer always pasted from the clipboard, even when
the user had highlighted text — diverging from terminal-native behavior
(xterm/iTerm/gnome-terminal) where right-click copies an active selection
and only pastes when nothing is selected.
Extract a small pure helper, decideRightClickAction(value, range), and
route the existing onMouseDown right-click branch through it. Selection
present and non-empty -> writeClipboardText(slice). Otherwise fall back
to the existing emitPaste path.
Salvage of NousResearch/hermes-agent#7622.
Docker images often lack procps so `ps` is unavailable. Try reading
/proc/*/cmdline first (works in any Linux container) and fall back to
`ps -A eww` only when /proc is not present. PermissionError on
individual PIDs is silently skipped.

RuntimeError('claude CLI turn timed out') from a local OpenAI-compatible
shim was falling through to FailoverReason.unknown, surfacing as 'Empty
response from model' and burning 3 retry slots on the same failing
endpoint. _classify_by_message had no timeout-message branch — only
billing/rate_limit/auth/context_overflow/model_not_found patterns. The
type-based check at line 565 also requires isinstance(error, (TimeoutError,
ConnectionError, OSError)) — a plain RuntimeError doesn't match.
Add _TIMEOUT_MESSAGE_PATTERNS for 'timed out', 'deadline exceeded',
'request timed out', 'operation timed out', 'upstream timed out', 'turn
timed out'. _classify_by_message returns FailoverReason.timeout (retryable=True)
when any pattern matches.
Salvage of #22664's classifier portion. The original PR also bundled a
fallback self-selection guard which is now redundant (already on main
via #22780) plus DeepSeek thinking and session_search fixes that are
their own separate concerns.
Follow-up to #22780 — fixes the still-broken classification of
generic-typed provider-shim timeouts that #22780's dedup didn't cover.
Fallback chain entries with 'api_key_env: ENV_VAR_NAME' weren't being
resolved by either the init-time fallback path (line ~1660) or the
runtime _try_activate_fallback path (line ~8045). Only literal
'api_key' was honored; the snake_case 'api_key_env' alias documented
elsewhere in the config was silently dropped, so a 'provider: custom'
fallback with base_url + api_key_env worked as primary but failed as
fallback with 'no endpoint credentials found' / 401.
Adds 'or fb.get("api_key_env")' to the existing 'key_env' lookup in
both call sites, with empty-string-to-None coercion so unset env vars
don't poison the resolver.
Salvage of #22665's fallback portion. The original PR also bundled
gateway-degrade-on-no-adapters changes (those land via the carve-out
in #22853 which is the same code) and run_agent.py memory-nudge
counter hydration (issue #22357 territory, not mentioned in the
title). Drops both bundled pieces; keeps just the api_key_env fix.
Closes#5392.
When connected_count == 0 AND enabled_platform_count > 0, the gateway
treated 'all adapters returned None' identically to 'all adapters
failed to connect' — both as fatal startup errors. The 'returned None'
case happens when imports fail silently or when adapters are present
in config but their dependencies aren't installed (e.g. discord.py
missing). Cron jobs and other gateway-runtime work would unnecessarily
fail to start.
Split: only return False when startup_retryable_errors is non-empty
(real connection attempt failed). When the list is empty AND enabled
> 0, log a warning and continue running, matching the 'no platforms
enabled' cron path.
Salvage of #22642's gateway slice. Drops the bundled run_agent.py
memory-nudge counter hydration block (issue #22357 territory) which
wasn't mentioned in the PR description.
Closes#5196.
Problem: terminal.docker_env set in config.yaml was silently ignored.
Docker containers never received the user-specified env vars.
Root cause: docker_env was missing from all three config→env bridging
maps (cli.py env_mappings, gateway/run.py _terminal_env_map,
hermes_cli/config.py _config_to_env_sync) and from the terminal_tool
_get_env_config() reader. _create_environment() consumed the key from
container_config correctly, but it was always {} because TERMINAL_DOCKER_ENV
was never set.
Also extend the list-serialisation branches in cli.py and gateway/run.py
to handle dict values via json.dumps (lists already used json.dumps;
plain str() on a dict produces undecodable output).
Fix:
- cli.py: add "docker_env": "TERMINAL_DOCKER_ENV" to env_mappings;
serialise dict values with json.dumps alongside existing list path
- gateway/run.py: same additions to _terminal_env_map and serialisation
- hermes_cli/config.py: add "terminal.docker_env": "TERMINAL_DOCKER_ENV"
to _config_to_env_sync so `hermes config set terminal.docker_env …`
persists to .env correctly
- tools/terminal_tool.py: add docker_env key to _get_env_config() reading
TERMINAL_DOCKER_ENV via _parse_env_var with default "{}"
Tests: add test_docker_env_is_bridged_everywhere to
tests/tools/test_terminal_config_env_sync.py — stash-verified: fails on
origin/main, passes with fix.
Fixes#20537
After Popen succeeds with os.setsid (detached process group), 5 things
happen with no try/except: Thread construction, reader.start(), lock
acquisition, prune+register, checkpoint write. If any raises, the
Popen object goes unregistered and the detached process group leaks
indefinitely.
Wrap the post-spawn setup in try/except. On failure:
- os.killpg(getpgid(pid), SIGKILL) takes down the entire process
group (not just the shell - important because of detached PG +
-lic shell wrapper that may have spawned children)
- proc.kill() fallback for ProcessLookupError/PermissionError/OSError
- proc.wait(timeout=5) reaps with a bound
- re-raise to preserve original traceback
Nested try/except around cleanup so a secondary failure can't mask the
original.
Closes#2749.
Problem
=======
`tools.checkpoint_manager._touch_project` reads the project metadata
file with `json.loads(meta_path.read_text(...))`, then immediately does:
meta["workdir"] = str(_normalize_path(working_dir))
The `except` block only catches `(OSError, ValueError)`. When the file
parses successfully but returns a non-dict value (a list `[]`, `null`,
or a scalar from a corrupted or hand-truncated write), `json.loads`
succeeds without error and `meta` is set to, e.g., `[]`. The subsequent
subscript assignment then raises `TypeError: list indices must be
integers or slices, not str`, which is NOT caught by the narrow except
clause.
This TypeError propagates up through `_take` to `ensure_checkpoint`,
where the broad `except Exception` safety net swallows it. The effect
is that `ensure_checkpoint` silently returns False for the entire
session — all checkpoints are skipped for the affected working directory
without any user-visible error.
Root cause
==========
Missing `isinstance(meta, dict)` guard after `json.loads`, identical in
pattern to bugs fixed in `cron/jobs.py` (#22569) and
`tools/process_registry.py` (#22544). The same guard is already
present one function below in `_list_projects` (line 506), but was
inadvertently omitted in `_touch_project`.
Fix
===
Add two lines after the try/except:
```python
if not isinstance(meta, dict):
meta = {}
```
This matches the existing guard in `_list_projects` and ensures a fresh
empty dict is used whenever the persisted value is not a mapping —
preserving the `created_at` semantics via `setdefault` on the next line.
Tests
=====
`TestTouchProjectMalformedMeta` covers four non-dict root values
(`[]`, `null`, `42`, `"oops"`). Each writes a corrupted metadata file,
calls `_touch_project`, and asserts: (a) no exception raised, (b) the
metadata file is rewritten as a valid dict containing `last_touch` and
`workdir`. All four fail on main with `TypeError`, pass with fix.
Full `tests/tools/test_checkpoint_manager.py` regression: 77 passed.
The FTS5 trigram tokenizer requires >=3 CJK characters per individual
token to produce matchable trigrams. A query like "广西 OR 桂林 OR 漓江"
has cjk_count=6 (passes the existing >=3 guard) but each token is only
2 CJK chars, so the trigram index returns 0 results.
Fix:
- Add per-token check: if any non-operator CJK token has <3 CJK chars,
force the LIKE fallback path regardless of total cjk_count.
- Expand the LIKE fallback to build one LIKE condition per non-operator
token joined with OR, so each term is matched independently.
Regression tests added in TestCJKSearchFallback:
- test_cjk_or_combined_short_tokens_returns_results
- test_cjk_short_token_or_query_preserves_filters
Problem:
When a provider or proxy drops a streaming response mid-flight (httpcore
raises RemoteProtocolError: "incomplete chunked read", "peer closed
connection", "response ended prematurely", etc.), _generate_summary
would not classify it as a transient error. Instead of retrying on the
main model, it entered the generic 60-second cooldown, leaving context
growing unbounded until the cooldown expired. Issue #18458.
Root cause:
_is_connection_error in auxiliary_client.py did not match httpcore's
streaming premature-close error substrings. context_compressor.py's
_generate_summary except block never called _is_connection_error, so
those errors fell through to the 60-second generic cooldown rather than
triggering the retry-on-main fallback path used for timeouts.
Fix:
1. auxiliary_client.py — extend _is_connection_error keyword list with:
"incomplete chunked read", "peer closed connection",
"response ended prematurely", "unexpected eof",
"remoteprotocolerror", "localprotocolerror".
Also guard the `from openai import ...` with try/except ImportError
so the function works in environments without the openai package.
2. context_compressor.py — import _is_connection_error and call it in
_generate_summary's except block as _is_streaming_closed. Include
_is_streaming_closed in the fallback-to-main condition (alongside
_is_model_not_found, _is_timeout, _is_json_decode) and use the
shorter 30s transient cooldown for streaming-closed errors.
Tests:
4 new regression tests in TestStreamingClosedFallback:
- test_incomplete_chunked_read_falls_back_to_main
- test_peer_closed_connection_falls_back_to_main
- test_streaming_closed_on_main_uses_short_cooldown (stash-verified)
- test_non_streaming_unknown_error_still_uses_long_cooldown

acp_command / acp_args descriptions previously primed the model to
populate them — "Per-task ACP command override (e.g. 'copilot')" —
even when no ACP CLI was installed. Models with weaker schema-following
discipline would set them and the spawn would fail.
Add explicit "Do NOT set unless the user has explicitly told you"
guidance at both the top-level acp_command and the per-task override.
Strengthen acp_args to mention it's empty unless acp_command is set.
Adds 2 tests pinning the descriptions.
Note: this is a cosmetic prompt-engineering fix — the params remain
exposed in the schema. The fully-correct fix is to gate them behind
a config flag or runtime ACP-CLI detection so the schema only emits
them when an ACP harness is available. Tracked as a follow-up; this
PR ships the low-cost stopgap.
Salvage of #22680 (delegate schema only). The original PR also
bundled unrelated fixes for #22548, #21944, #22150 — those
need separate PRs since #22548 and #21944 are already addressed
on main (#22780 + #22798 in flight) and #22150 deserves its own
review.
Closes#22013.
Problem
-------
`hermes doctor` ran two health checks for Anthropic: a dedicated one
with the correct `x-api-key` + `anthropic-version` headers, and a
generic Bearer-auth one driven by the pluggable `ProviderProfile` for
"anthropic". The generic check called `https://api.anthropic.com/v1/models`
with `Authorization: Bearer ...`, which Anthropic answers with HTTP 404,
producing a noisy duplicate warning even when the dedicated check passed.
Root cause
----------
`hermes_cli/doctor.py:_build_apikey_providers_list` deduplicated profiles
against a `_known_canonical` set built from the static list (Z.AI/GLM,
Kimi, DeepSeek, …). Providers with their own dedicated check above the
generic loop (Anthropic, OpenRouter, Bedrock) were not in that set, so
their profiles were appended and ran a second, broken check.
Fix
---
Add `{"anthropic", "openrouter", "bedrock"}` to the skip set, and
also skip profiles whose aliases match any of those names (e.g.
`claude`, `claude-oauth` → anthropic).
Tests
-----
tests/hermes_cli/test_doctor_dedicated_provider_skip.py:
- test_build_apikey_providers_list_skips_dedicated_check_providers:
asserts the assembled list does not contain anthropic, openrouter,
or bedrock entries.
- test_build_apikey_providers_list_includes_non_dedicated_providers:
sanity guard that legitimate providers (DeepSeek, Z.AI/GLM) survive.
Both confirmed via stash-verify (fail pre-fix with anthropic/openrouter
leaking, pass post-fix).
Fixes#22346
ALTER TABLE calls inside _migrate_add_optional_columns were guarded by a
snapshot of PRAGMA table_info taken at function entry. When the gateway
dispatcher opens the kanban DB twice per tick (once in _tick_once_for_board
and once via init_db's discard-and-reconnect path), a second connection can
run the same migration before the first one commits, causing:
sqlite3.OperationalError: duplicate column name: consecutive_failures
This crashed the dispatcher on every first tick after a gateway restart
(subsequent ticks succeeded because the columns were then present).
Fix: introduce _add_column_if_missing() which wraps ALTER TABLE in a
try/except that swallows OperationalError whose message contains
'duplicate column name'. All ALTER TABLE calls in
_migrate_add_optional_columns are routed through this helper.
Closes#21708
DeepSeek V4 Pro returns thinking content as typed blocks inside the
content array rather than as a top-level reasoning_content field:
[{"type": "thinking", "thinking": "..."}, {"type": "output", ...}]
_extract_reasoning only handled content as a plain string, so the
thinking text was silently dropped. On the next turn the session was
replayed without the thinking block, causing:
HTTP 400: The content[].thinking in the thinking mode must be
passed back to the API.
Fix: when content is a list and no structured reasoning field was
found, scan for items with type=='thinking' and accumulate their
'thinking' (or 'text') value into reasoning_parts. Structured fields
(reasoning, reasoning_content, reasoning_details) still take priority
so existing provider behaviour is unchanged.

skills/media/youtube-content/scripts/fetch_transcript.py and
optional-skills/productivity/memento-flashcards/scripts/youtube_quiz.py

both skills fail on first invocation with:

youtube-transcript-api>=1.2.0 (the v1.x API surface the scripts already

163/NetEase IMAP servers reject every UID SEARCH/FETCH with `BYE Unsafe
Login` unless the client first identifies itself via the RFC 2971 ID
command after LOGIN. Without this, the email gateway logs in OK but
then fails on the very first poll and the connection is torn down.
Send the ID payload best-effort after both `imap.login()` sites
(`EmailAdapter.connect` and `_fetch_new_messages`). Failures are
swallowed at debug level so non-supporting IMAP servers (Gmail,
Outlook, Fastmail, Yahoo, etc.) keep working unchanged.
Closes#22271
Problem: `_get_cloud_provider()` set `_cloud_provider_resolved = True`
before resolution. If credentials were briefly unavailable on the first
call (e.g. a managed Nous Portal token mid-refresh), the resolver pinned
the entire process to local mode forever, even after credentials
self-healed seconds later.
Root cause: bookkeeping was set up-front, so any code path that fell
through to `return _cached_cloud_provider` (config read failure, no
credentials yet, explicit-provider instantiation failure) committed the
transient `None` to the cache permanently.
Fix: invert the bookkeeping. `_cloud_provider_resolved = True` is now
set only when (a) the user explicitly chose `cloud_provider: local`, or
(b) a provider was successfully resolved. All transient `None` paths
return without poisoning the cache, so the next call retries. Explicit
provider instantiation failures now log at warning level with stack
trace so operators can diagnose them.
Tests: 5 new cases in tests/tools/test_browser_cloud_provider_cache.py
covering explicit local, successful resolution, no-credentials-yet,
config read failure, and explicit provider instantiation failure.
Stash-verify confirmed the 3 transient-None tests fail without the fix.
All 320 existing browser tests still green.
Closes#22324
Problem:
After `hermes profile use NAME`, the gateway (started via systemd with
HERMES_HOME=/root/.hermes hardcoded) ignores the active profile and
always runs as the Default profile. WebUI, Telegram, and all non-CLI
platforms are affected.
Root cause:
_apply_profile_override() contained an early-return guard:
if profile_name is None and os.environ.get("HERMES_HOME"):
return # trust the inherited value
The intent was to let child processes inherit their parent's profile via
HERMES_HOME without redundantly re-reading active_profile. But
systemd also sets HERMES_HOME — to the hermes root (/root/.hermes),
not a profile directory — so the guard fired and silently skipped the
active_profile check. The user's `hermes profile use NAME` write to
~/.hermes/active_profile was never seen by the gateway process.
Fix:
Only skip the active_profile check when HERMES_HOME is already a
profile directory, identified by its immediate parent directory being
named "profiles" (e.g. ~/.hermes/profiles/coder or
/opt/data/profiles/coder). When HERMES_HOME points to a root
directory (parent name != "profiles"), continue to read active_profile.
Tests:
- test_hermes_home_at_root_with_active_profile_is_redirected: the
bug scenario — HERMES_HOME=/root/.hermes + active_profile=coder →
HERMES_HOME must be redirected to .../profiles/coder.
Stash-verified: FAILS without fix, PASSES with fix.
- test_hermes_home_already_profile_dir_is_trusted: child-process
inheritance contract unchanged — .../profiles/coder is trusted as-is.
- test_hermes_home_unset_reads_active_profile: classic path unchanged.
- test_hermes_home_unset_default_profile_no_redirect: "default" still
produces no redirect.
4/4 tests green.
Closes#22502.
Problem:
unlink_tasks() removes a parent→child dependency edge but does not trigger
recompute_ready(). A child whose last blocking parent is unlinked stays
stuck in 'todo' indefinitely — it only promotes to 'ready' on the next
dispatcher tick or a manual 'hermes kanban recompute'. For CLI-only users
without a dispatcher, the child is permanently stuck.
Root cause:
complete_task() and unblock_task() both call recompute_ready() after their
write transaction so downstream children are evaluated immediately.
unlink_tasks() was missing this call — removing a dependency is
semantically equivalent to completing one, so the same recompute is needed.
Fix:
Capture the rowcount result before the write_txn exits, then call
recompute_ready(conn) outside the transaction when a row was actually
deleted (so the child sees the updated task_links state).
Tests:
Added test_unlink_tasks_triggers_recompute_ready in
tests/hermes_cli/test_kanban_db.py: creates parent A (done) + parent C
(running), child B with both parents (todo), unlinks C→B, asserts B is
ready immediately. Stash-verified: FAILS without fix (child stays todo),
PASSES with fix.
62/62 tests green in tests/hermes_cli/test_kanban_db.py.
Closes#22459.
detect_audio_environment() unconditionally added a hard warning when
running inside a container, blocking /voice on even when the host audio
socket was correctly forwarded (PulseAudio or PipeWire) and sounddevice
could enumerate devices.
Mirror the existing WSL/PulseAudio handling: if PULSE_SERVER or
PIPEWIRE_REMOTE is set, downgrade to a notice and let the audio backend
decide. When neither is set, keep the block but extend the message with
the exact -v / -e flags users need.
