Replicate the `hermes tools` configurator in the dashboard Skills →
Toolsets view. Each toolset now opens a config drawer that covers the
full lifecycle the CLI offers: enable/disable, pick a provider/backend,
enter and save API keys, and run a provider's post-setup install hook
with a live log tail.
The toolset view was previously read+toggle only — the provider matrix
and key-status endpoints existed but the page never called them, and
there was no way to save a key or run a backend install (npm/pip/binary)
from the browser.
Backend:
- New CLI subcommand `hermes tools post-setup <KEY>` — non-interactive,
scriptable target that runs a provider's install hook (agent_browser,
camofox, cua_driver, kittentts, piper, ddgs, spotify, langfuse,
xai_grok). Validated against valid_post_setup_keys() so an arbitrary
key can't drive _run_post_setup.
- PUT /api/tools/toolsets/{name}/env — save API keys to ~/.hermes/.env
via save_env_value (same store the CLI writes), validated against the
toolset category's env-var allowlist; blank values skipped.
- POST /api/tools/toolsets/{name}/post-setup — spawn-action that runs
`hermes tools post-setup <key>`; frontend tails the log via the
existing /api/actions/tools-post-setup/status. Registered in
_ACTION_LOG_FILES.
Frontend:
- New ToolsetConfigDrawer component (provider radios, password key
inputs with saved-state, get-a-key links, Run-setup + live install
log). Toolset cards get a Configure button + the drawer also exposes
the enable toggle.
- api.ts: toggleToolset, getToolsetConfig, selectToolsetProvider,
saveToolsetEnv, runToolsetPostSetup + ToolsetConfig/Provider/EnvVar/
EnvResult types.
Validation: 56 admin-endpoint tests pass (10 new: env save w/ CLI
parity + allowlist reject + blank-skip, post-setup spawn validation,
auth gate); 232 web_server tests pass; web npm run build + eslint clean;
HTTP E2E exercises save-key (CLI reads it back) and spawn+poll
post-setup to exit 0.
The skill detail dialog (Skills hub browser) had several awkward
spacing/placement issues:
- description and identifier crammed together with no breathing room
(-mt-1 pulled the description tight to the header)
- the identifier line touched the action-row border
- Install was stranded far right with a large empty void in the middle
of the action row
- the SKILL.md <pre> opened with a leading blank line
Fixes:
- group description + identifier in a spaced flex-col block (mt-1, gap-1)
- give the action row mt-3 + py-2.5 so it separates from the meta block
- move the repo link into the right-side group with Install (ml-auto,
gap-3) so the row reads left=tabs / right=repo+install, no middle void
- mt-3 on the body for consistent vertical rhythm
- trim() the SKILL.md content so it starts at the first real line
The Browse-hub tab was a blank search box with sparse result cards (name +
source + one Install button), no way to read a skill before installing, no
visual security scan, and no indication it was even connected to any hubs.
Backend (web_server.py):
- GET /api/skills/hub/sources — lists the configured hubs (label + trust
tier + GitHub rate-limit + index availability) and featured skills pulled
from the centralized index (zero extra API calls), plus installed-skill
provenance so the UI can mark already-installed results.
- GET /api/skills/hub/preview — fetches a skill's SKILL.md text + file
manifest WITHOUT installing (decodes byte-stored text, masks binaries).
- GET /api/skills/hub/scan — runs the SAME quarantine + scan_skill +
should_allow_install pipeline the CLI installer uses, then cleans up
quarantine, returning verdict / per-finding detail / severity tally /
install-policy decision.
- search now returns per-source counts + timed-out sources + installed map.
Frontend (SkillsPage HubBrowser):
- Landing state: connected-hubs strip + featured skill grid (no more blank
page).
- Rich cards: trust-level color coding, source, tags, identifier,
Details + Install (or Installed state).
- Detail dialog: read the actual SKILL.md, on-demand visual security scan
(verdict pill, severity tally, per-finding list, allow/block policy),
GitHub repo link.
- Search meta line: result count + timing + per-source breakdown (the
'feels slow / no feedback' complaint).
Tests: 4 new endpoint test classes (sources/preview/scan + updated search
shape) in test_dashboard_admin_endpoints.py.
* feat(dashboard): MCP catalog + enable/disable, webhook toggle, hook create/delete, system stats
Backend for the comprehensive admin pass:
- MCP: GET /api/mcp/catalog (browse Nous-approved optional-mcps), POST
/api/mcp/catalog/install, PUT /api/mcp/servers/{name}/enabled
- Webhooks: PUT /api/webhooks/{name}/enabled; gateway rejects disabled routes
with 403 (hot-reloaded, no restart)
- Hooks: POST/DELETE /api/ops/hooks — create (with consent approval) + remove;
list now reports accurate allowlist status + valid events
- System: GET /api/system/stats — OS/arch/python/cpu + psutil memory/disk/
uptime/process, stdlib fallback
All gated by dashboard auth; secrets never returned.
* feat(dashboard): MCP catalog UI, enable/disable toggles, hook create, system stats
- McpPage: catalog section (browse Nous-approved MCPs, one-click install with
env prompts) + per-server enable/disable toggle with gateway-restart note
- WebhooksPage: per-subscription enable/disable toggle (muted + badge when off)
- SystemPage: new Host stats section (OS/arch/python/cpu/mem/disk/uptime/load),
shell-hook create modal + delete, 'Create backup' label
- api.ts: client methods + types for catalog, toggles, hook CRUD, system stats
* test(dashboard): cover catalog, toggles, hook CRUD, system stats, webhook toggle
Adds tests for the comprehensive pass: MCP enable/disable + catalog list +
catalog-install-unknown, hook create/delete with consent, system stats shape,
and webhook enable/disable. 26 tests total, all green.
* docs(dashboard): document the comprehensive admin pass + fresh screenshots
Updates the MCP/Webhooks/Pairing/System sections for catalog browse+install,
enable/disable toggles, hook creation, and host system stats; adds the new
endpoints to the API table; replaces the screenshots with live captures of
the rebuilt pages (real data, no dummies) including the hook-create modal.
* feat(dashboard): curator, portal status, and prompt-size/dump/migrate ops
Closes the last in-scope CLI gaps from the coverage audit:
- Curator: GET /api/curator (status), PUT /api/curator/paused, POST
/api/curator/run (background)
- Portal: GET /api/portal (Nous auth + Tool Gateway routing, read-only)
- Diagnostics: POST /api/ops/prompt-size, /api/ops/dump, /api/ops/config-migrate
(backgrounded, tailed via action status)
Host-bound commands (secrets/proxy/lsp/acp/computer-use/desktop/completion/
postinstall/uninstall/claw) remain CLI-only by design.
* feat(dashboard): curator + portal + diagnostics UI, tests
- SystemPage: Nous Portal status section (auth + Tool Gateway routing),
Skill curator card (status + pause/resume + run now), and three new
Operations buttons (prompt size, support dump, migrate config)
- api.ts: client methods + CuratorStatus/PortalStatus types
- tests: curator pause/resume, portal shape, system-stats shape, + auth-gate
coverage for the new GET endpoints (31 tests total)
* docs(dashboard): document curator, portal, and diagnostics + refresh System screenshots
Updates the System section for the Nous Portal status, Skill curator
controls, and the new prompt-size/dump/migrate operations; adds them to the
API table; refreshes the System screenshots (now showing Portal + Curator)
and adds a dedicated curator/gateway/memory capture.
* feat(dashboard): session stats/export/prune + skills hub search endpoints
Completes the existing tabs' backend depth (audit vs CLI):
- Sessions: GET /api/sessions/stats (store stats), GET /api/sessions/{id}/export,
POST /api/sessions/prune. /stats is registered before /{session_id} so the
literal path isn't captured by the parameterized route.
- Skills: GET /api/skills/hub/search — parallel multi-source hub search (threaded),
returns installable identifiers
- (rename via PATCH and cron-edit via PUT already existed; now surfaced in UI)
* feat(dashboard): complete existing tabs — sessions mgmt, skills hub browse, cron edit
Audited every existing tab against its CLI command and filled the gaps:
- Sessions: store stats bar, per-row rename + export (JSON download), and a
prune-old-sessions control (mirrors hermes sessions rename/export/prune/stats)
- Skills: new 'Browse hub' view — search the skill hub across all sources,
install by identifier with a live install log, and 'Update all' (mirrors
hermes skills search/install/update)
- Cron: per-job Edit modal (pre-filled) calling updateCronJob (hermes cron edit)
- api.ts: renameSession/getSessionStats/exportSessionUrl/pruneSessions,
updateCronJob, searchSkillsHub + types
Models tab was already comprehensive (provider+model picker, dynamic per-provider
lists, main + all 11 aux-task assignments, reset) — verified, no change needed.
* test(dashboard): cover session stats/rename/export/prune + skills hub search
Adds the route-shadowing guard for /api/sessions/stats (must not be captured
by /api/sessions/{session_id}), rename/export/prune, and the empty-query
short-circuit for hub search. 36 tests total, all green.
* docs(dashboard): document enhanced Sessions, Skills hub, and Cron edit
Sessions: stats bar, rename, export, prune (+ screenshot). Skills: new Browse
hub view for search/install/update (+ screenshot). Cron: edit action. API
table updated with the new endpoints.
Removes the global `uppercase` + `font-mondwest` from the App.tsx root
that forced every page to opt-out, replaces stacked-alpha text colors
with semantic tokens for WCAG-AA contrast across all 7 themes, and
applies the new `text-display` utility from @nous-research/ui@0.16.0
on intentional brand chrome (page titles, sidebar headings, segmented
filters) only. Bumps every sub-12px arbitrary text size to text-xs.
Also widens the dashboard plugin routes (/api/dashboard/agent-plugins/
{name:path}/...) so category-namespaced plugins like observability/
langfuse and image_gen/openai can be enable/disabled from the dashboard
— previously the FE encodeURIComponent-ed the slash and the backend
{name} route rejected it. _validate_plugin_name still blocks .. and
backslash, and strips leading/trailing slash.
Touches sessions/env/keys page chrome and adds two new i18n keys
(`overview`, `showMore`/`showLess`) across all 18 locales.
Squashes 19 commits from PR #28832.

* fix(terminal): three-layer defense against watch_patterns notification spam
Background processes that stack notify_on_complete=True with watch_patterns
can flood the user with duplicate, delayed notifications — matches deliver
asynchronously via the completion queue and continue arriving minutes after
the process has exited. The docstring warning against this (PR #12113) has
proven insufficient; agents still misuse the combination.
Three layered defenses, each sufficient on its own:
1. Mutual exclusion (terminal_tool.py): When both flags are set on a
background process, drop watch_patterns with a warning. notify_on_complete
wins because 'let me know when it's done' is the more useful signal and
fires exactly once. Extracted as _resolve_notification_flag_conflict() so
the rule is testable in isolation.
2. Suppress-after-exit (process_registry.py): _check_watch_patterns() now
bails the moment session.exited is True. Post-exit chunks (buffered reads
draining after the process is gone) no longer produce notifications. This
is the fix flagged as future work in session 20260418_020302_79881c.
3. Global circuit breaker (process_registry.py): Per-session rate limits don't
catch the sibling-flood case — N concurrent processes can each stay under
8/10s and still collectively spam. New WATCH_GLOBAL_MAX_PER_WINDOW=15 cap
trips a 30-second cooldown across ALL sessions, emits a single
watch_overflow_tripped event, silently counts dropped events, and emits a
watch_overflow_released summary when the cooldown ends.
Also updates the tool schema + docstring to document the new behavior.
Tests: 8 new tests covering all three fixes (suppress-after-exit x2,
mutual-exclusion resolver x4, global breaker trip/cooldown/release x2).
All 60 tests across test_watch_patterns.py, test_notify_on_complete.py,
test_terminal_tool.py pass.
Real-world trigger: self-inflicted in session 20260425_051924 — three
concurrent hermes-sweeper review subprocesses each set watch_patterns=
['failed validation', 'errored'] AND notify_on_complete=True, then iterated
over multiple items, producing enough matches per process to defeat the
per-session cap while staying under the global cap that didn't yet exist.
* fix(terminal): aggressive 1-per-15s watch_patterns rate limit + strike-3 promotion
Per Teknium's direction, the watch_patterns rate limit is now much more
aggressive and self-healing.
## New rule — per session
- HARD cap: 1 watch-match notification per 15 seconds per process.
- Any match arriving inside the cooldown window is dropped and counts as
ONE strike for that window (many drops in the same window still = 1 strike).
- After 3 consecutive strike windows, watch_patterns is permanently disabled
for the session and the session is auto-promoted to notify_on_complete
semantics — exactly one notification when the process actually exits.
- A cooldown window that expires with zero drops resets the consecutive
strike counter — healthy cadence is forgiven.
## Schema + docstring rewritten
The tool schema description now gives the model explicit guidance:
- notify_on_complete is 'the right choice for almost every long-running task'
- watch_patterns is for RARE one-shot signals on LONG-LIVED processes
- Do NOT use watch_patterns with loops/batch jobs — error patterns fire every
iteration and will hit the strike limit fast
- Mutual exclusion is stated on both parameter descriptions
- 1/15s cooldown and 3-strike promotion are stated in the watch_patterns
description so the model sees the contract every turn
## Removed
- WATCH_MAX_PER_WINDOW (8/10s) and WATCH_OVERLOAD_KILL_SECONDS (45) — the
new 1/15s limit subsumes both; keeping them would double-count.
- _watch_window_hits / _watch_window_start / _watch_overload_since fields
on ProcessSession. Replaced by _watch_last_emit_at / _watch_cooldown_until
/ _watch_strike_candidate / _watch_consecutive_strikes.
## Kept
- Global circuit breaker across all sessions (15/10s → 30s cooldown) as a
secondary safety net for concurrent siblings. Still valuable when 20
short-lived processes each fire once — none individually violates the
per-session limit.
- Suppress-after-exit guard.
- Mutual exclusion resolver at the tool entry point.
## Tests
- 6 new tests in TestPerSessionRateLimit covering: first match delivers,
second in cooldown suppressed, multi-drop = single strike, 3 strikes
disables + promotes, clean window resets counter, suppressed count
carried to next emit.
- Global circuit breaker tests rewritten to use fresh sessions instead of
hacking removed per-window fields.
- 50/50 watch_patterns + notify_on_complete tests pass.
- 60/60 including test_terminal_tool.py pass.
* feat(dashboard): page-scoped plugin slots for built-in pages
Dashboard plugins can now inject components into specific built-in
pages (Sessions, Analytics, Logs, Cron, Skills, Config, Env, Docs,
Chat) without overriding the whole route.
Previously, plugins could only:
1. Add new tabs (tab.path)
2. Replace whole built-in pages (tab.override)
3. Inject into global shell slots (header-*, footer-*, pre-main, ...)
None of those let a plugin add a banner, card, or widget to an
existing page. The new <page>:top / <page>:bottom slots close that
gap, reusing the existing registerSlot() API.
Changes
- web/src/plugins/slots.ts: 18 new KNOWN_SLOT_NAMES entries
(sessions:top, sessions:bottom, analytics:top, ..., chat:bottom),
grouped under "Shell-wide" vs "Page-scoped" in the docblock
- web/src/pages/*: each built-in page now renders
<PluginSlot name="<page>:top" />
as the first child of its outer wrapper and
<PluginSlot name="<page>:bottom" />
as the last child -- zero visual cost when no plugin registers
- plugins/example-dashboard: registers a demo banner into
sessions:top via registerSlot(), with matching slots entry in
the manifest -- so freshly-setup users can see what page-scoped
slots look like without writing any plugin code
- website/docs: new "Page-scoped slots" table in the plugin
authoring guide, with a worked example
- tests/hermes_cli/test_web_server.py: round-trip test for
colon-bearing slot names (sessions:top, analytics:bottom, ...)
Validation
- npm run build: clean (tsc -b + vite build, 2761 modules)
- scripts/run_tests.sh tests/hermes_cli/test_web_server.py::TestDashboardPluginManifestExtensions: 5/5 pass
- Add missing translation keys: skills.resultCount, skills.toolsetLabel
- Replace hardcoded "result(s)" and "toolset" with translated strings
- Fix stale useMemo in SkillsPage allCategories (missing `t` dependency)
causing sidebar category names to stay in English after language switch
Made-with: Cursor
Re-applies changes from #9471 that were overwritten by the i18n PR:
- URL-based routing via react-router-dom (NavLink, Routes, BrowserRouter)
- Replace emoji icons with lucide-react in ConfigPage and SkillsPage
- Sidebar layout for ConfigPage, SkillsPage, and LogsPage
- Custom dropdown Select component (SelectOption) in CronPage
- Remove all non-functional rounded borders across the UI
- Fixed header with proper content offset
Made-with: Cursor
Add a lightweight i18n system to the web dashboard with English (default) and
Chinese language support. A language switcher with flag icons is placed in the
header bar, allowing users to toggle between languages. The choice persists
to localStorage.
Implementation:
- src/i18n/ — types, translation files (en.ts, zh.ts), React context + hook
- LanguageSwitcher component shows the *other* language's flag as the toggle
- I18nProvider wraps the app in main.tsx
- All 8 pages + OAuth components updated to use t() translation calls
- Zero new dependencies — pure React context + localStorage
* feat: web UI dashboard for managing Hermes Agent (salvage of #8204/#7621)
Adds an embedded web UI dashboard accessible via `hermes web`:
- Status page: agent version, active sessions, gateway status, connected platforms
- Config editor: schema-driven form with tabbed categories, import/export, reset
- API Keys page: set, clear, and view redacted values with category grouping
- Sessions, Skills, Cron, Logs, and Analytics pages
Backend:
- hermes_cli/web_server.py: FastAPI server with REST endpoints
- hermes_cli/config.py: reload_env() utility for hot-reloading .env
- hermes_cli/main.py: `hermes web` subcommand (--port, --host, --no-open)
- cli.py / commands.py: /reload slash command for .env hot-reload
- pyproject.toml: [web] optional dependency extra (fastapi + uvicorn)
- Both update paths (git + zip) auto-build web frontend when npm available
Frontend:
- Vite + React + TypeScript + Tailwind v4 SPA in web/
- shadcn/ui-style components, Nous design language
- Auto-refresh status page, toast notifications, masked password inputs
Security:
- Path traversal guard (resolve().is_relative_to()) on SPA file serving
- CORS localhost-only via allow_origin_regex
- Generic error messages (no internal leak), SessionDB handles closed properly
Tests: 47 tests covering reload_env, redact_key, API endpoints, schema
generation, path traversal, category merging, internal key stripping,
and full config round-trip.
Original work by @austinpickett (PR #1813), salvaged by @kshitijk4poor
(PR #7621 → #8204), re-salvaged onto current main with stale-branch
regressions removed.
* fix(web): clean up status page cards, always rebuild on `hermes web`
- Remove config version migration alert banner from status page
- Remove config version card (internal noise, not surfaced in TUI)
- Reorder status cards: Agent → Gateway → Active Sessions (3-col grid)
- `hermes web` now always rebuilds from source before serving,
preventing stale web_dist when editing frontend files
* feat(web): full-text search across session messages
- Add GET /api/sessions/search endpoint backed by FTS5
- Auto-append prefix wildcards so partial words match (e.g. 'nimb' → 'nimby')
- Debounced search (300ms) with spinner in the search icon slot
- Search results show FTS5 snippets with highlighted match delimiters
- Expanding a search hit auto-scrolls to the first matching message
- Matching messages get a warning ring + 'match' badge
- Inline term highlighting within Markdown (text, bold, italic, headings, lists)
- Clear button (x) on search input for quick reset
