A /handoff into a Telegram forum supergroup created a topic and bound the CLI session under
telegram🧵<chat>:<topic>, while the Telegram adapter keys every topic reply
telegram:group:<chat>:<topic> — the same restart-orphaning shape as the Slack case. Non-private
Telegram homes now use chat_type group; private-chat DM topics are unchanged.
`/handoff slack` bound the CLI session under `slack🧵<channel>:<ts>` while every inbound
reply in that thread resolves (via the Slack adapter's source shape) to
`slack:dm|group:<team>:<channel>:<ts>`. After a gateway restart the reply key found no
binding and the gateway opened a fresh empty session, orphaning the handed-off one (#111896).
The handoff destination now mirrors the adapter: chat_type `dm` for a D… home channel, else
`group`, plus the workspace scope_id (home channel provenance, falling back to the adapter's
channel→team map). Channel handoffs were equally affected (`thread` vs `group`), so the fix
covers both, not only DMs. Discord and Telegram destinations are unchanged.

#108319 moved hooks.outbound[].secret_env from os.environ to get_secret, which fails closed
outside a profile scope while multiplexing is on. The launch profile's hooks: block is
registered from start(), before any turn scope exists, so the first secret_env target raised
UnscopedSecretError, register_from_config propagated it, and _register_config_hooks swallowed
it at DEBUG — every launch-profile outbound webhook (signed or not) was silently dropped on a
multiplexed gateway. Secondaries were unaffected: they register inside their own scope.
The launch profile now gets the same treatment: _register_launch_profile_config_hooks enters
_profile_runtime_scope(get_process_hermes_home()) when multiplexing is active, then registers.
Not the environ fallback — a scopeless multi-profile read has no authority over the launch
env; the spawn site is where the scope belongs. The swallow logs at WARNING: a dropped hook
block is not debug noise.
Two invariant tests: multiplex on, no scope, secret in the launch .env -> both targets
register, the signed one with the launch secret (0 register on main); a registration failure
surfaces at WARNING.
faulthandler.register(SIGUSR2, ..., chain=True) writes the stack dump and
then re-raises the signal to its previous handler. SIGUSR2's default
disposition is "terminate", so the diagnostic hook added for #70344 kills the
very process an operator is trying to inspect (rc = -12), which is what the
#110437 reporter hit while introspecting a long-lived gateway. Nothing else
in the gateway installs a SIGUSR2 handler, so there is nothing to chain to.
Test: a child interpreter runs the real _start_install_faulthandler, receives
SIGUSR2, and must still be alive with a dump in gateway_faulthandler.log.
Red on origin/main (rc=-12), green with chain=False. Docs: the stack-dump
signal is now documented next to the event-loop watchdog.
Under gateway.multiplex_profiles, `_start_one_profile_adapters` skipped
Platform.RELAY / Platform.WHATSAPP for secondaries with a bare `continue`,
and the startup "not being served" WARNING only covered platforms the
PRIMARY skipped. Four secondaries on one live box had WHATSAPP_ENABLED=true
and nothing in the log, status file, or `hermes gateway status` said the
channel was dead.
- `_note_unserved_secondary_platform`: one INFO per (profile, platform)
naming the reason (shared process-level ingress owned by the default) and
the remedy (enable it on the default profile, or disable it here), plus a
`<profile>:<platform>` runtime-status stamp (state=disabled,
error_code=multiplex_shared_ingress).
- `_start_secondary_profiles` folds those platforms into the loud WARNING
when NO profile (default included) runs them.
- `hermes gateway status --profile X` prints
`whatsapp: not served under multiplex (shared ingress owned by default)`
from that stamp; /api/status excludes `disabled` entries from the
platforms degraded verdict (informational, not a fault).
- Docs: multi-profile-gateways.md gets the shared-ingress rule.
A `gateway.multiplex_profiles` gateway enumerated `profiles/` once at boot, so a profile
created afterwards (CLI, dashboard, Desktop, TUI) was never served until `hermes gateway
restart`; Desktop and the dashboard gave no reminder, so a new profile's bot simply never
connected.
The served set is now reconciled at runtime (`gateway/run_profile_reconcile.py`):
- `hermes_cli/profiles.py` create/delete ping the multiplexer over its control socket
(new `rescan-profiles` verb); a supervised watcher rescans every 30s as the safety net.
- A new profile gets its adapters under its own runtime scope from its config/.env
(`_start_one_profile_adapters`, same duplicate-credential guard as boot, now seeded
with the LIVE secondaries' claims), `served_profiles` in gateway_state.json is
updated, MCP discovery + log routing run for it. Other profiles' adapters are never
touched.
- A served profile whose config.yaml/.env changed is re-scanned so a token added after
create builds the adapter; already-live/queued platforms are skipped (no second poller).
- A deleted profile (tombstone) has its reconnects cancelled, adapters torn down,
pairing/busy bookkeeping and cached agents dropped, and this process's SQLite /
memory-store handles released so the deleter's rmtree succeeds.
- The in-process cron ticker takes a live enumerator so new profiles' jobs fire.
- PUT /api/messaging/platforms/<id>?profile=X returns `hot_served` when a live
multiplexer rebuilt X's adapters; Desktop/dashboard skip the restart banner then.
- `hermes profile create` confirms hot-serve; the restart reminder stays for a gateway
that did not pick the profile up (older build / signal failed).
Under gateway.multiplex_profiles a secondary profile X is ticked, dispatched
and notified from the default profile's process, where os.environ holds the
DEFAULT profile's .env and X's values live only in the per-turn secret scope /
HERMES_HOME override. Every remaining read that skipped that scope made X
behave differently from `hermes -p X gateway run`:
- cron: HERMES_CRON_TIMEOUT, HERMES_MODEL (job/preflight fallback),
HERMES_CRON_MAX_PARALLEL, inflight allowance, prefill file and the script
timeout were bare os.getenv → the default profile's values; a job without a
model silently ran on the default's HERMES_MODEL instead of refusing.
cron/env_settings.py::cron_env_setting reads the scope (fire) or the ticked
home's .env (tick thread), plain environ when multiplexing is off.
- child env: the restart-safe cron worker, the Bot Chat delivery child and the
kanban worker inherited the launch profile's non-credential .env settings
and bridged TERMINAL_* policy (TERMINAL_ENV=docker, default's image,
HERMES_MODEL) — X's worker ran in the default's docker image on the
default's model. tools/environments/local.py::strip_launch_profile_env drops
them when the child targets another served profile.
- kanban: the worker --toolsets pin was silently dropped for every served
assignee (toolset probes call get_secret without a scope → swallowed
UnscopedSecretError); notifier pings, artifact uploads and the wake text ran
under the default's media policy / display language (only wake() was scoped).
- /loop: _post_turn_loop_completion hopped to the executor without contextvars,
writing the completed tick into the DEFAULT profile's state.db and leaving
X's row awaiting_response forever; the --until judge ran with the default's
aux credentials.
- background processes: a secondary's processes.json (scope-relative since
adf23550f5) was never read at startup; its processes were not re-adopted
and notify_on_complete notices were lost. Startup recovers every served
home under its scope; recovery adopts each session once.
- completion delivery: background_process_notifications was evaluated once per
drain for the ambient profile (default's mode for everyone; X's `off`
dropped a sibling's `all` event), recovered watchers used the default's
mode, HERMES_BACKGROUND_NOTIFICATIONS was read raw from environ;
_deliver_platform_notice used the default's GatewayConfig so a secondary's
notice_delivery: private went public.
Not changed: gateway/run.py and tools/async_delegation.py (PR #106742
rewrites both). Known residue left for the env-bridge lane:
HERMES_SESSION_STALL_TIMEOUT is bridged once from the launch config.
scheduler bug, not a parity gap; unchanged here.
Inside a routed satellite's turn the ambient scope is the satellite's, whose
.env has no token or allowlist. Five sites still called `_is_user_authorized()`
directly there — `/topic`, the sibling-thread `/stop` grant, plugin message
injection, Discord voice transcripts and startup auto-resume — so the shared
bot's owner was refused ("not authorized to use /topic") and a satellite that
DID copy an allowlist widened who may drive those commands. They now go through
`_is_user_authorized_for_source`, and `_under_authorization_profile` derives the
transport home from the delivering adapter's owner when ingress did not stamp
one (restored/cached sources).
`_adapters_for_profile` (the resolver behind `_authorization_adapter`,
`_adapter_for_source` and now `_resolve_injection_adapter`) returns the primary
map for a shared-bot satellite: a served profile with the `{}` startup
placeholder, no reconnect pending, targeted by a default-bot route. Kanban and
cron already applied that rule; the gateway's own resolvers returned None, so
heartbeats, process completions, goal notices and delegation results for such
profiles were undeliverable after a restart. A secondary that owns a credential
(connected on any platform, or queued for reconnect) still fails closed.
* fix(auth): close the free tier's gaps against the gateway's welcome-tier contract
The inference gateway's welcome tier (NousResearch/api DOCS/anon-tier/plan.md) serves an
anonymous account exactly one model on its own host, refuses everything else with a structured
429, cross-refuses a request on the wrong host with a 400 (403 while the tier is dark), and
tells a signed-in account that still asks for `nous/welcome` what to switch to in an
`x-nous-model-switch` header. Four client-side gaps against that contract:
- Auxiliary calls were refused on every session. The auxiliary client asked the welcome host
for the Portal's recommended compaction/vision model, a guaranteed 429 `model_not_free`
before each fallback. On the welcome host it now uses `nous/welcome` (its backing model
covers auxiliary work) and skips Nous for vision, which the welcome model does not take.
- The structured 429 body was never read. The classifier now parses `reason` /
`retry_after` / `alternates` / `upgrade_url`: `model_not_free` and `feature_not_free` are
non-retryable gates that fall back; `at_capacity`, `admission_closed` and `rate_limited`
are rate limits that honour `retry_after` and never rotate the free tier's only credential.
The wrong-host 400 and the dark-tier 403 are deterministic, so they abort this route and
fall back instead of retrying or re-exchanging. The terminal paths say what happened and
name the sign-in (`/login` in a chat, `hermes auth upgrade` in a terminal).
- The `x-nous-model-switch` header was ignored. The chat-completions transport records it
beside the rate-limit and credits headers; the next call moves the session, and the config
default when it still names `nous/welcome`, to the backing model the gateway named.
- A guest fell back to the paid host. With `inference_base_url` absent from the exchange or
outside the host allowlist, routing defaulted to inference-api, where every request is a
400. A guest now defaults to the welcome literal at the exchange, in the shared store's
shape, and in effective routing.

* feat(auth): the free tier is set up on request; nous.guest_setup decides whether also on first use
A caller that names nous/welcome on a Nous route with no Nous identity in reach — the guided
setup's session (provider=nous, which skips the resolver's nothing-configured rung), the free-tier
picker row, a bare --provider nous pointed at it — is asking for the free tier. The OAuth runtime
rung now sets it up there instead of failing "not logged in", so the guided chat no longer races
the root profile's first-run mint.
nous.guest_setup is the policy seam: "auto" (default) keeps today's first-use setup wherever
nothing else is configured; "on-request" mints only when the free tier is asked for by name
(nous/welcome, /login, hermes auth upgrade, replacing a retired identity). Implicit callers —
the resolver's last rung, the first-run check, free_tier.status, the CLI's background setup, the
connector token path — still adopt what the shared store holds, so every profile follows the one
identity the guided setup created, but never create one on their own.

* feat(auth): the guided setup provisions the free tier explicitly; nous.guest_setup is auto | explicit
Two questions govern the free tier: may it exist (nous.guest) and who may CREATE the identity
(nous.guest_setup). "auto" (default) keeps today's first-use setup wherever nothing else is
configured. "explicit" means Hermes never creates one on its own: the only creator is the new
provision_free_tier() primitive, exposed as the free_tier.provision RPC, which the guided setup
on Hermes Desktop calls as its first step — on the root gateway, before the setup profile and
before the guided chat exists — so the identity lands in the root store every profile reads
through and is there before any session asks for nous/welcome. That closes the race against the
backend's own setup, and makes "only when the setup-bot flow is used" literally true.
The earlier "on-request" tier is replaced: it minted whenever any caller named nous/welcome
(the hermes model row, --provider nous), which treated a model name as intent and was broader
than the guided setup. Under "explicit" a nous/welcome request with no identity fails "not
logged in" as before the free tier existed, and /login or hermes auth upgrade report nothing to
sign in from. Implicit callers still adopt an identity the shared store holds, and a retired
credential is replaced (a continuation, not a creation).

* fix(auth): remove the nous.guest_setup knob; the free tier is created on first use
`nous.guest_setup: auto | explicit` decided who may CREATE the free-tier identity. Under its
default every line it added was inert (`may_mint` always true), nothing in tree set `explicit`,
unknown values read as `auto`, and under `explicit` a CLI-only install could never get an
identity, which contradicts the first-run contract (first command mints, then chats).
The mint race the knob accompanied is already benign: every caller takes the profile lock then
the shared-store lock, and the loser adopts what the winner wrote. What makes the guided setup
win deterministically is `provision_free_tier()` behind the `free_tier.provision` RPC, which
stays. `nous.guest` remains the only free-tier policy.
Removed: `guest_setup_policy()` and its constants, the `explicit=` / `may_mint=` threading through
`ensure_portal_identity` and `_reconcile_and_provision`, the flag at the three replacement call
sites (now no-ops), the config default, the docs section, and the four `guest_setup` test-config
entries. The three policy tests that hold regardless of the knob are kept under
`TestExplicitProvision`; the two that only tested the knob are deleted.

* fix(gateway): a server-driven model switch off nous/welcome does not evict the cached agent
When a signed-in account still asks the paid host for `nous/welcome`, the inference gateway
serves the current backing model and names it in `x-nous-model-switch`. `apply_model_switch`
moves the live session to that model and moves `config.yaml`'s default off the alias in the
same step. The messaging gateway's fallback-eviction check compares the agent's model with the
config default and evicts on any mismatch that is not a /model override, so when the config
write did not land (unreadable config, lock) the cached agent was evicted once per turn, and
prompt caching with it.
`apply_model_switch` now stamps the alias it moved the session off on the agent, and
`_is_intentional_model_switch` treats "agent moved off the alias the config still carries" as
deliberate, beside the existing /model override case. The check takes the agent and the config
model instead of a bare model string; its one caller in `_run_agent_evict_on_fallback` passes them.

* fix(auth): the free tier outranks implicit host credentials in provider resolution
On a fresh install with a leftover ~/.aws profile, resolve_provider("auto")
reached the Bedrock rung before the free-tier rung, so the first turn ran on
Bedrock and failed 403 while the free tier was still being minted in the
background at agent setup (NS-829). Live on a Mac with ~/.aws present: 28 s,
three retries, no answer; the next process then switched to nous/welcome.
The free-tier rung now sits directly above the Bedrock chain: when nous.guest
is on, an existing free-tier identity answers, else a blocking mint runs, and
only then does the boto chain get a say. Everything above is unchanged and
still wins: CLI creds, config.yaml model.provider, env keys, the OpenRouter
pool, a logged-in active_provider. nous.guest: false skips the rung, and a
failed mint still falls through to Bedrock and the no-provider guidance.
Tests: six precedence cases (identity present, fresh mint, free tier off, env
key still wins, sign-in still wins, failed mint falls through). The opt-out
test now neutralizes the AWS chain like the precedence tests do; on a machine
with ~/.aws it was failing for the same reason as the bug.
Live after the fix, same Mac, AWS credentials visible, isolated shared store:
identity minted 2 s in, turn on model=nous/welcome provider=nous, answer in
11 s.

* fix(auth): review follow-ups for the free-tier rung (NS-829)
- tests/agent/test_bedrock_integration.py: the Bedrock auto-detect test switches
the free tier off; its contract is the boto chain, and the free tier now
sits above it.
- gateway/run_notifications.py: the free-tier startup line reads auth.json
before consulting the resolver, so a gateway boot on a machine with AWS
credentials never mints or refreshes over the network.
- hermes_cli/anon_auth.py: module docstring says where the free tier sits in
the ladder instead of "the ladder is untouched".
- tests/hermes_cli/test_provider_precedence.py: two invariant tests instead of
six (parametrized ladder cases; a failed mint that returns None or raises
falls through to Bedrock).
scripts/run_tests.sh on the five affected files: 147 passed, 0 failed.

* feat(auth): HERMES_GUEST_ONBOARDING=1 is the one launch gate for the free tier; HERMES_FORCE_GUEST is gone
The free tier is pre-GA. Until GA it must not exist for anyone who did not
ask for it: no identity minted, no portal traffic, no free-tier copy on any
surface. One environment variable now decides that, and one function reads it.
`guest_enabled()` returns False unless `HERMES_GUEST_ONBOARDING` is exactly
"1"; only then does `nous.guest` (the user's off switch) get consulted. Every
free-tier site already funnels through `guest_enabled()`, so the gate closes
minting, routing, connector entitlement, status lines and the picker row in
one place. With the variable unset, `resolve_provider("auto")` on a fresh
install raises `no_provider_configured` exactly as upstream does.
`HERMES_FORCE_GUEST` and `force_guest_mode()` are removed. They inverted the
gate (forced the tier ON over `nous.guest: false`), their "new" value re-minted
identities as a side effect of provider resolution, and `_has_any_provider_
configured` read them ahead of every other check, making the CLI a second
reader of a flag that must have exactly one. `_forced_new_done` and the
`force` parameter of `_reconcile_and_provision` go with them.
Supersedes the dev lever introduced in fcf9d11679 (rung 1) and hardened in
b5c162c3ec. Ruling: NS-845 Q1.1 (recorded on NS-847).
Not a user preference: the variable is never written to config.yaml or .env
and never shown in setup. It is deleted at GA together with its comment in
anon_auth.py. This is a deliberate, temporary exception to the "no new
HERMES_* env vars for non-secret config" rule.
Tests: fixtures set the gate instead of deleting the old lever; one new
invariant (`test_launch_gate_off_means_no_free_tier_at_all`) proves that "",
"0", "true" and "new" all leave the tier off with zero portal calls, red on the
previous commit. The `HERMES_FORCE_GUEST=new` re-mint test is deleted with the
feature.
* feat(auth): the free-tier identity is created in one place, at boot; every other site is a read
Before this commit eight sites could create a Nous free-tier identity as a
side effect of something else: resolving a provider, the CLI's first-run
check, the CLI's session setup (in the background beside an own key), a
connector bearer read, the desktop polling `free_tier.status`, the sign-in
precondition, the desktop's `free_tier.provision`, and the dead-credential
re-mint. A poll could mint. Provider resolution could hit the network. Two
of them raced each other on a fresh install.
Now `hermes_cli/free_tier_bootstrap.py::run_bootstrap` is the only creator.
`hermes serve` runs it on a daemon thread from `_lifespan` beside the other
background boots; `cmd_chat` runs it synchronously before the first-run
guard. It inventories credentials first (`resolve_provider("auto",
skip_free_tier=True)`: what would carry inference if the free tier did not
exist), creates the identity only when `guest_enabled()`, resolves inference,
records a `SetupRecord` in process memory and broadcasts ONE `setup.ready`
event. It runs on every boot; only the mint is gated.
`ensure_portal_identity` now requires `explicit=True` and raises otherwise.
Its callers are the bootstrap, the desktop's `free_tier.provision` (the
explicit retry when the boot could not create the identity) and the two
dead-credential replacements (`auth_nous.resolve_nous_runtime_credentials`,
`managed_tool_gateway._replace_dead_guest_token`). The background thread
path and `provision_free_tier` are deleted with their last callers.
Reads that used to mint and now only read: `auth.py::resolve_provider`
rung 7 (an existing identity still outranks the Bedrock chain, NS-829
ordering kept), `main.py::_has_any_provider_configured`,
`cli_agent_setup_mixin._ensure_runtime_credentials`,
`managed_tool_gateway.read_nous_access_token` (no identity -> None),
`anon_sign_in.run_sign_in` (no identity -> Unavailable),
`methods_free_tier` `free_tier.status`.
`setup.status` answers from the record for the launch profile, blocking up
to 8 s while the bootstrap is in flight so a client's first poll lands after
the identity exists rather than racing it; a named profile, or a process
that never ran the bootstrap, keeps today's live probe. The record's fields
ride along additively (`ready`, `free_tier`, `other_providers`,
`inference_provider`).
Identity and inference are decoupled (NS-845 Q1.3): the mint sets
`active_provider="nous"` only when the inventory found nothing else usable
(`_mint_locked(carries_inference=)`); an adopted account always does. A token
refresh no longer re-elects the provider it refreshed
(`_save_provider_state_to_source` writes credentials, not the user's
choice) — that write was how an own-key install ended up on the free tier
after the first connector call.
Supersedes the mint sites in fcf9d11679, a42d0748fc (first-run check),
bbbaa8935a (CLI background setup), 0179efc989 (`free_tier.status` mint),
62ad1ff3ab / c63d2c935c / d8a50526d9 (the `nous.guest_setup` knob and
`provision_free_tier`), and a04b05260c (blocking mint in the resolver).
Ruling: NS-845 Q1.2 + Q1.3, recorded on NS-847.
Tests: `TestBootstrapIsTheOneCreator` (one mint per process; own key keeps
inference; reads never reach the portal; a refused mint is memoised),
`free_tier.status` fails loudly if it ever calls the creator, the resolver
stub fails loudly if resolution ever mints, `setup.status` reads the record,
`skip_free_tier` proves the inventory question. The three sign-in tests for
the deleted pre-mint collapse into one (`no identity -> Unavailable, zero
portal calls`). Live: real `_lifespan` boot with a fake portal, gate on and
off (/tmp/ns847-recon/evidence/e2e-rung5-c2-serve-boot.txt), and the CLI
matrix incl. an own-key cell (e2e-rung5-c2-bootstrap.txt), 20/20.
* fix(credits): the welcome host is free-tier evidence, so a free-tier identity never sees "run /topup"
A free-tier identity carries $0 by design, so the portal seed reports
`paid_access=False` for it. `is_free_tier_model` did not know the welcome
host, read that as a depleted account, and every free-tier turn ended with
the credits-depleted notice telling the user to top up an account they do
not have.
Rule (4) in `is_free_tier_model`: a `base_url` on the Nous welcome host
(`anon_auth.route_is_welcome_host`) is the free tier. The host is the
evidence, not the model name: the paid inference host can serve
`nous/welcome` to a named account and that account's depletion is real, so
`("nous/welcome", <inference host>)` stays False. Local data only, like the
three rules above it.
Restores the two contracts dropped by hermes-magic 674e11d1eaa (the
prototype line ran without unit tests): the welcome host is free without
any pricing evidence; the model name alone is not. The first is red without
this fix.
* fix(copy): free-tier text stops promising a connector transfer and never names the config key
Sign-in copy on every surface said "Sign in to keep your connectors" and
ended with "Your connectors are kept." The transfer registry that would
make that true is empty (NS-821): nothing carries over today. The copy now
says what signing in does give ("unlock more models and tools") and the
completion line names the account, not a transfer. The docs page loses the
"connectors carry over" paragraph for the same reason.
The picker's off-state line exposed `nous.guest: false` and the word
"guest"; user copy names the free tier only (R-USR-1).
The docs page gains the pre-rollout note: until GA nothing on it happens
without `HERMES_GUEST_ONBOARDING=1`. Its "first command mints" and
"replaced on next use" sentences now describe the boot bootstrap.
zh is a strict locale: the `freeTier` block was English placeholder text
copied from `en`; it is now Chinese. `connectorsKept` is renamed
`completedBody` since it no longer talks about connectors.
* feat(desktop): the free-tier launch flag is decided once in Electron and stamped onto every backend spawn
The Python backend reads `HERMES_GUEST_ONBOARDING` and treats exactly "1"
as on. Until now nothing in the desktop set it, so a packaged app could
never turn the free tier on, and a backend spawned by the app could
disagree with the app about whether the tier was live.
`electron/guest-onboarding.ts` owns the decision: `guestOnboardingEnabled`
is true when the launch env has `HERMES_GUEST_ONBOARDING=1` or argv has
`--guest-onboarding` (the packaged-app spelling). It is read ONCE at launch
into a module constant. `desktopBackendSpawnEnv` wraps every backend env
as the outermost call and writes the flag LAST, as "1" or an explicit "0",
so no earlier spread (`process.env`, `backend.env`) can resurrect a stray
value from the parent shell.
Stamped onto all three spawn sites: the primary `serve` spawn, the pooled
per-profile spawn, and the remote SSH `exec env ...` command (which gains
` HERMES_GUEST_ONBOARDING=1` only when on). The embedded terminal PTY and
the backend probes are not backend spawns and do not get it: a
`hermes --tui` typed in the pane must not mint.
The renderer learns the same fact read-only through the existing
`hermes:launch-flags` sync IPC (`guestOnboarding`) and preload
(`window.hermesDesktop.guestOnboardingEnabled`).
Ruling: NS-845 Q1.1 / Q2 (env var is the contract, `--guest-onboarding`
maps to it in main). Two invariant tests on the pure helpers: only "1" or
the argv flag enables; the spawn env carries "1"/"0" as the last word and
preserves every other key.
* feat(desktop): the renderer learns free-tier readiness from one `setup.ready` push, not a 60 s poll
The backend's boot bootstrap now announces `setup.ready` once, after it has
created (or refused) the free-tier identity and resolved the inference
route. The renderer used to discover both by polling `setup.status`,
`setup.runtime_check` and `free_tier.status` every 60 s from
`useStatusSnapshot`; a fresh install's chip, notice strip and onboarding
overlay could sit stale for up to a minute after boot, and three RPCs a
minute per window kept asking a question whose answer changes only at
boundaries the backend already announces.
`handleLifecycleEvent` routes `setup.ready` (active source only, like
`skin.changed`) to `notifySetupReady()`, a one-shot tick atom in
`live-sync.ts` beside the other change ticks. `useStatusSnapshot` listens
to it and runs one readiness round at once (`setup.status` +
`setup.runtime_check` + `free_tier.status`). The readiness legs also run
once on open and on return from another app, as today. The 60 s tick keeps
only `getStatus()`.
`SetupStatusSnapshot` types the record's additive fields (`ready`,
`free_tier`, `other_providers`, `inference_provider`); readiness semantics
are unchanged and still key on `provider_configured` + `runtime_check`.
Ruling: NS-845 Q1.2 (renderer half). Tests: the lifecycle branch fires one
refresh from the active source and none from another; the snapshot hook's
contract is three legs on open, one leg on the tick.
* fix(cli): the banner names the free tier's model instead of "no model configured"
The welcome banner prints before credentials resolve, so on a fresh install
`model` is empty and the banner said, in red, "no model configured — run
/model or hermes setup". Under the free tier that is false: the route is
already known from local state (identity on disk, tier on), and the first
message will run on `nous/welcome`.
`_banner_left_lines` now asks the route the same question when `model` is
empty (`guest_carries_inference()`, a local read) and shows `welcome · Nous
Research`. When nothing resolves the red line stays. Ruling: NS-845 ("the
banner's 'no model configured' line reads the resolved route").
Live: fresh HERMES_HOME + fake portal, gate on -> `welcome · Nous Research`;
gate off -> the red line, zero portal calls.
* fix(aux): vision on the free tier uses nous/welcome too
The text-only modality on the gateway's `nous/welcome` row is DeepSeek V4 Flash's, the
backing model until the repoint; `z-ai/glm-5.3-flash` is natively multimodal and the
repoint declares the welcome row `text+image->text`. Skipping Nous for vision on the
welcome host would have sent every image step past the free tier for no reason, so the
auxiliary client pins the route's one model for every lane. A backing model that takes
no images answers with the upstream's own error, which the ladder handles as it always has.

* fix(gateway): hermes gateway run is a boot owner of the free tier too
Rung 5 made every demand-time free-tier site a read: resolve_provider,
the connector token, the /login precondition. That is only correct if
every process that can reach those sites ran the bootstrap first. The
CLI (cmd_chat) and hermes serve (_lifespan) did; the standalone
messaging gateway did not. A fresh HERMES_HOME with the gate on and
`hermes gateway run` reached provider resolution with no identity to
consume, and /login returned Unavailable. Reported by @andrexibiza on
#107697 (P1).
GatewayRunner.start now runs `free_tier_bootstrap.run_bootstrap` on an
executor thread right after startup recovery and BEFORE any adapter
connects, so a fast first DM cannot arrive with nothing to resolve. It
is its own step, not part of the turn-machinery warm-up: the warm-up is
an optimisation with an off switch (HERMES_STARTUP_WARMUP_TIMEOUT<=0);
the bootstrap is correctness and must always run. With the gate unset it
is a local inventory and no network.
Live, real GatewayRunner.start against a fake portal in a fresh home:
gate on -> 1 create, identity persisted, resolve_runtime_provider=nous,
/login precondition sees the identity
gate off -> 0 portal calls, no identity, no_provider_configured
Before the fix the gate-on row was identical to the gate-off row.
Test: the bootstrap seam runs before _start_prefilter_platforms and
delegates to the one creator. Red on 5554eb6993 (no seam), green here.

Relay bootstrap treated endpoint availability as activation, bypassing the
platform configuration's explicit opt-out. An injected relay URL could
provision credentials from a native-only profile and suppress its native
connectors even when relay was disabled.
Reuse the gateway's platform merge and boolean normalization for the
explicit-disable decision. Guard registration overrides, discovery, media,
and all dial/retry entrypoints; preserve URL-only legacy activation and
explicit operator enrollment. Skip relay-exclusive native suppression for
an opted-out relay.
Add real-config startup and standalone regression coverage, including
inherited credentials, managed config, config precedence, native delivery,
and fresh-token retry. Document restart semantics without claiming live
socket teardown.
Recover active watches from current persisted session origins and exact route
keys, reading heartbeat state off-loop in each source's profile. Failed scans
leave watches intact for the poller's next retry. Start the heartbeat poller
even when startup restores no watches.
Slim synthesis of #92660, #98310 and #98313, with earlier restart recovery
prior art from #92594. The integration poller calls restore_heartbeat_watches
on every poll, including empty registries.

Breaks the two import cycles that forced Protocol stand-ins in the F821 sweep, so the two
sites now name the real types.
gateway/platforms/event.py (new leaf): MessageType, ProcessingOutcome, MessageEvent moved
out of base.py verbatim. Their only dependency is gateway.session.SessionSource; base.py
imported helpers.py at module level, so helpers could not name MessageEvent. Now
TextBatchAggregator is typed by the real MessageEvent. 249 importers repointed
(`from gateway.platforms.base import` -> `.event`, preserving each import's layout);
gateway.platforms.__init__ re-exports from .event. The three revert-scheduled PLUGIN-COMPAT
pointers that named these symbols (gateway.slash_commands → MessageType, dingtalk → MessageType,
photon → ProcessingOutcome) and their COMPAT_MANIFEST rows now target gateway.platforms.event.
Docs updated: ADDING_A_PLATFORM.md, adding-platform-adapters.md (en + zh-Hans).
tools/mcp_tool_sampling.py: ElicitationHandler no longer holds a back-reference to its
MCPServerTask (mcp_tool imports sampling, so the task type cannot be named there). It only
ever read owner._pending_call_context, so it takes `call_context: Callable[[], Context | None]`
and MCPServerTask passes `lambda: self._pending_call_context`. The consent call is one
`functools.partial`, run directly or inside the captured Context.
ty on the 11 touched production files vs origin/main: 0 new diagnostics, 14 resolved.
(The one `source: SessionSource = None` diagnostic moves with the class; typing it Optional
exposes ~60 unguarded call sites — separate follow-up.)
Tests: tests/gateway + tests/plugins + tests/tools + touched files, 18,235 passed; the 31
failures reproduce identically on origin/main (macOS /private/tmp, systemd socket,
long-path fixtures, live-service tests).
Round-2 review. Making _arm_flood_timers_for_waiting_rows read the ledger in a
worker thread introduced a race: a flood refusal recorded during that thread's
yield had its own _schedule_flood_redelivery request declined (the timer still
held the slot), and the timer then cleared its slot on a snapshot taken before
the new row committed, leaving that reply with no timer until the next reconnect
or restart. The read is a single indexed SELECT; doing it synchronously keeps the
arm decision atomic with respect to concurrent schedule requests. A test drives a
refusal during the timer's own redelivery send and asserts the same timer arms it.
Second review pass on the flood-retry change.
- sweep_recoverable returns a dead owner's not-yet-due flood row flagged
`adopted` (with its `not_before`) instead of dropping it from the result,
so _claim_pending_obligations clears its session's resume_pending flag like
every other claimed row; the answer is in the ledger and the turn must not
be re-run at boot. _redeliver_claimed_obligations skips adopted rows and
still arms the timer for them.
- A legacy row without adapter_profile is normalised to 'default' when the
boot sweep claims or adopts it: the runtime sweep matches profiles exactly
and the timer asks for 'default', so an adopted NULL row could only wake the
timer without ever being sent.
- A sleeping timer is replaced by a shorter refusal's timer; the shorter one
re-arms for the longer row after its sweep. A timer already sweeping is
never cancelled from outside.
- pending_flood_retries is read in a worker thread like the other ledger calls.
- Adoption tests seed a distinct dead-owner stamp and assert ownership moves.
- Scratch tags and long comment lines removed.
Review on the first cut reproduced two gaps.
The raw UTF-16 length of the stored reply said nothing about how many
requests the adapter made: MarkdownV2 escaping turns 3000 dots into 6000
units, two Telegram messages, and the send result does not say which chunk
the platform refused. Drop the length-based certainty (and its helper and
constant) and mark every flood redelivery with the rate-limit marker, at
runtime and at boot. The cost is a marker on a reply nothing of which was
delivered; the alternative was a silent duplicate.
Releasing an unsent runtime claim always wrote send_path_degraded, so a flood
row whose resume flag could not be cleared (or whose adapter vanished before
dispatch) left the flood timer's list and stayed stranded until a reconnect or
restart. The claimed row now carries its pre-claim error and the release
writes it back, so the row waits the platform's figure once more and is sent
on the next timer.
The Telegram adapter fails a flood-controlled final send closed as
flood_control:<seconds> so the send coroutine never sleeps a long penalty
(#91969), on the understanding that the delivery ledger owns the wait. The
ledger did not: sweep_failed_for_runtime only replayed send_path_degraded
rows, so a flood-refused row sat in 'failed' until the next restart, whose
sweep_recoverable then redelivered it hours late prefixed with "Recovered
reply, the gateway restarted during delivery, so this may be a duplicate".
Observed: a reply refused at 08:58 UTC (both the MarkdownV2 send and the
plain fallback got flood_control:185) arrived at 12:15 UTC after a restart,
labelled as a possible duplicate although the platform had never accepted it.
Ledger (gateway/delivery_ledger.py):
- flood_control rows are runtime-retryable, but only once their own deadline
has passed: the refusal's updated_at plus the platform's wait
(flood_not_before). Neither an early timer nor a reconnect sweep spends a
redelivery attempt inside the penalty window.
- A flood refusal of a reply that fits in one Telegram message (4096 UTF-16
units) proves non-delivery, so that redelivery carries no duplicate marker.
A chunked reply may have had its first chunk accepted before the refusal
and keeps the marker.
- Claiming a flood row clears the stale refusal (last_error NULL, state
'attempting'), so a resend interrupted before mark_delivered is seen as
uncertain by the next boot and gets the marker.
- At boot, a dead owner's flood row that is not yet due is adopted (owner
re-stamped, no attempt spent) instead of being resent early.
- pending_flood_retries() lists this process's waiting flood rows per adapter
identity with the earliest deadline.
Runner (gateway/run_startup.py):
- _schedule_flood_redelivery arms one timer per adapter identity that runs
the existing runtime sweep after the wait (capped at 15 minutes per sleep;
the row's deadline, not the timer, decides eligibility, so a capped timer
wakes early, sends nothing, and re-arms for the remainder). The slot stays
occupied until the timer ends and only the running timer may arm its
successor into it, so a refusal during the sweep can never strand the row.
- _arm_flood_timers_for_waiting_rows runs after every redelivery pass (boot
and runtime), covering adopted rows, rows skipped as not yet due, and rows
refused again.
Adapter (gateway/platforms/base.py): _finalize_delivery_obligation arms the
timer on a flood_control failure, best-effort inside the existing try.
Tests: 35 in tests/gateway/test_delivery_ledger_flood_retry.py, with a
controllable clock shared by ledger and runner. Each guard was mutation
tested. Existing ledger, reconnect and redelivery suites (131 tests) pass.
Re-applies the gateway compat removal byte-for-byte; see 92d0bd0d73 for the
full inventory (30 re-exports/aliases + 2 shim modules dropped, 3 shim-only
names re-removed, 24 callers + 34 test files repointed). No new changes.
For each issue anchor present in BASE 63279301bc non-test .py and absent on HEAD, the BASE comment/docstring block was re-attached at the HEAD location of the code it explained (matched by the distinctive code line / enclosing def). Sentences already covered by an existing HEAD comment were deduped; the issue number always survives. Insert-only: no code lines changed.
AST-driven, body-identical move of 359 GatewayRunner methods into cohesive
mixin modules (gateway/run_{voice,adapters,topics,turn,shutdown,busy,
config_loaders,startup,watchers,notifications,inbound,goals,agent_cache}.py)
plus TurnRunner -> gateway/run_turn_runner.py. run.py-internal symbols are
imported lazily inside method bodies so patch('gateway.run.X') keeps
intercepting; neutral deps are top-level; logger name stays 'gateway.run'.
_UNSET moved to leaf gateway/run_common.py (def-time default-arg sentinel).
Whole-module inspect.getsource(gateway_run) AST-walker tests repointed to
the module that now holds the walked code.
