Three caches that read config.yaml still keyed change detection on
st_mtime (or st_mtime_ns + st_size), so a same-size replacement that
keeps the old timestamp (cp -p, rsync -t, a timestamp-pinning writer)
was never noticed:
- model_tools._tool_defs_cache_key: get_tool_definitions kept serving
stale dynamic tool schemas / mcp_servers for the process lifetime.
- CLI mcp_servers auto-reload watcher (cli_tui_mixin seed +
cli_info_mixin._check_config_mcp_changes): the replaced mcp_servers
section was never reloaded. The seed is now _config_sig.
- tui_gateway/server._load_cfg_raw / _save_cfg (_cfg_mtime -> _cfg_sig):
the raw-config cache served the stale document and the next _save_cfg
would write it back over the on-disk file.
All three now use utils.file_signature like the rest of the PR. Tests that
reset the renamed module/instance attributes follow the rename; one
pinned-mtime replacement test per cache, red on the previous head.
Also corrects two stale type/comment annotations in hermes_cli/config.py
(_env_cache key shape, _RAW_CONFIG_CACHE record shape).
Review finding: three sibling config.yaml caches (tool-defs memo, CLI mcp watcher, TUI-gateway raw cfg) still compared mtime/size only.
Squashed integration of the user-facing message audit for this surface set.
Full per-finding receipts: /tmp/ux-audit/lanes/*-receipt.md (campaign artifacts).
Follow-up on the salvaged #110698 (which scoped `_dispatch_skill` alone):
- One `_session_home_scope(session)` binding around the whole stage loop in
`command.dispatch`, so quick commands (`_load_cfg` → `_active_config_path`
honours the override), bundles (`skill-bundles/` is home-relative) and skills
all resolve against the SAME profile the routing guard used.
- `slash.exec` resolves `_bundle_key_for(base)` under the same scope, so a
bundle that exists only in the secondary profile is routed to dispatch at all.
- `_dispatch_skill` uses the home-keyed `get_skill_commands()` (the guard's
reader) instead of an unconditional `scan_skill_commands()`.
- Test (red on origin/main): a bundle only under profile B's `skill-bundles/`
is dispatched for a session bound to B.
The gateway asked the user questions (approval, clarify, sudo, secret,
vault, MCP setup, the desktop read/act bridges) by emitting a
`<x>.request` EVENT carrying a hand-minted request_id, blocking the
agent thread on a module dict keyed by that id, and exposing a paired
`<x>.respond` METHOD per kind — thirteen pairs, four registries
(`_pending`, `_answers`, `_batch_clarify`, `_EXPIRING_REQUESTS`) and a
per-kind reconnect snapshot (`pending_clarify` / `pending_approval`)
that only two of the thirteen kinds ever got. JSON-RPC already has the
primitive: the server sends a request frame with an id and the client
answers with a response frame bearing the same id.
`tui_gateway/server_requests.py` owns the one mechanism:
send() block the agent thread until the response frame
(`srq-<n>` ids; ints belong to the client)
send_async() fire-and-callback variant (bot relay)
cancel*() withdraw with ONE `request.cancel {id, method, reason}`
event (timeout / interrupt / process exit /
answered elsewhere) instead of per-kind *.expire
open_requests() the still-open frames, replayed by session.resume,
session.activate and session.events.since so a
reconnecting client re-renders every kind, not two
clarify.lock stays a real client→server RPC (locks one batch
answer early); locked answers merge into the final
set even when the closing response carries only the
tail the user answered last
A client that does not implement a method answers -32601 and the agent
fails fast (the old fixed-timeout "unavailable" probes for tour/preview
still work — a wire error IS an answer). Approval: the queue entry's
settle hook withdraws the request when `/approve` from another surface,
a timeout or an interrupt resolves it first, so no window keeps a dead
card. Compute-host children own their waits; the parent mirrors their
open frames for replay and relays `clarify.lock` + response frames.
Clients: `JsonRpcRequestChannel` gains `onRequest` (unhandled → -32601,
dedup by id) and `JsonRpcGatewayClient` re-delivers `open_requests`
from the replay result. Desktop gets `gateway-event/server-requests.ts`
(one handler per method, replacing the request branches of
`input-requests.ts` / `desktop-bridge.ts`) and a `store/server-requests`
registry so every answer site calls `respondToServerRequest(id, result)`
synchronously; the TUI gets `createServerRequestHandler.ts` +
`serverRequestStore.ts`. `gateway-events.json` now pins both halves
(events + server request methods); the two contract tests check both.
Live (real stdio gateway, real `clarify_callback` on the agent thread):
before, `clarify.request` event + `clarify.respond` RPC, batch final
answers lost ('' returned); after, `{"id":"srq-…","method":"clarify"}`
frame, `session.events.since.open_requests` replays it, response frame
`{"answer":"yes"}` reaches the agent, batch lock + final response
merge to `{"q0":"1","q1":"free text"}`.
Reverts the in-tree org skill-marketplace: hermes_wisdom package, three
model tools, CLI/gateway/desktop/dashboard/Telegram/Slack surfaces.
Later non-Wisdom work on shared files (guest onboarding i18n, dashboard
startup schema, Slack adapter, tui_gateway) is kept; Wisdom-only call
sites and config were stripped from those files.

dismissed/handled/recently-suggested content hashes, strict pydantic
schemas for agent output with repair-or-reject, fixed copy templates
(Share / Teammate / Published / Update / Mute), idempotent retried
delivery ledger with stale-action resolution, weekly review job,
resumable Share and Install flows.

Copy review from the product owner on the first and returning
qualification notices (fixed delivery mode):
- the feature blurb now says the org enabled detection *and sharing*
- both notices say the detected skill is one the user created
- both close with an exclamation mark
Applied identically to hermes_wisdom.notice, the desktop and web i18n
strings, and the tests that assert the sentences.
* wisdom: one opener, no approval line, ask to share after the skill is shown
Product owner review of the candidate card.
- The Hermes written card now opens with the same sentence as the fixed card
("Your organisation has enabled Collective Wisdom, a feature designed to
automatically detect and share useful skills across all team members.")
instead of its own blurb, so there is one first time message.
- "Nothing is shared without your approval." removed from Telegram, Slack
and Desktop. The buttons already make the permission explicit.
- "Would you like to share?" no longer appears before the skill is named.
It is now the last line, after the skill name, description, why suggested
and the checks, and reads "Would you like to share it?" (matching the
agent led template wording).
Tests updated for the new order; proposalNotice removed from all desktop locales.
* wisdom: American spelling, organization
Product owner decision: user facing copy uses American spelling.
Changes "Your organisation" to "Your organization" in the chat notice,
the Hermes written card opener, the desktop and web strings, and the
tests that assert them. Identifiers such as nas_organisation:* and the
German and French locales are untouched.
* wisdom: candidate card copy round 4 (owner review)
Apply the product owner's round 4 copy decisions to the Hermes Collective
Wisdom candidate card on Telegram, Slack, Desktop and the shared views:
1. Hermes-written cards are titled "Hermes Collective Wisdom" instead of
the bare "Collective Wisdom".
2. The "Reusable skill ready to review" line is gone from the candidate
card (Telegram rich card and plain fallback, legacy agent-led share
template).
3. The skill name and description are labelled: "Skill name: <name>" and
"What it does: <description>" (Telegram, Slack, Desktop).
4. "Why suggested:" is now "Why others might benefit:".
5. A passing professionalism review reads "Safe to share at work ✓ (no
inappropriate content found)" with no per-check bullets and no "Pass";
a failed review reads "Needs a look before sharing at work (possible
inappropriate content)" and lists only the checks that flagged
something. Pending/unavailable wording is unchanged.
6. Telegram button toasts: "Will ask later...", "Preparing more
details...", "Sharing...".
7. Qualification reasons: "You used this skill consistently across many
days." and "You've really refined this skill."
8. prompts/wisdom_candidate_review.md asks for a compelling
editorial_name, a simple one_line_description and a compelling
why_coworkers_benefit under 300 characters; "Be concise and
convincing." becomes "Be concise and compelling: the goal is that the
user wants to share it."
Tests updated for the new strings; review_text() gains direct coverage.
* wisdom: re-apply owner copy after rebase
- Native share cards (advice_view/interaction_view): drop the approval line, ask "Would you like to share it?" as the last line after the checks
- Hermes-written completion card titled "Hermes Collective Wisdom"
- Qualification reasons use the owner wording (consistently across many days / really refined)
- American spelling (organization) in remaining English copy
- Desktop test asserts the current Share button; web test matches the returning notice
* fix(wisdom): pin reconciled Gateway and verify Unicode hash vectors
Pin Gateway 60cd2d6b613ae3cd4a6e65155d1142006d907e78 and byte-identical producer artifacts. Verify every content-order case and package-manifest binding. Validation: 186 focused Python tests, Ruff and contract verifier.

The real closed-WebSocket resident variant still wedges after the missing-timer repair. Re-enter existing transport cleanup before rearming orphan timers, preserving viewer transfer and the reconnect/delegation fence rather than deleting registry rows from a stale snapshot. Extend the same invariant to both dead-transport shapes. Live class investigation informed by #104710; no direct-vouch reclaim machinery imported.
Salvage #104704 (e9423d2d0bbe3e795c5eaccb86a913f1d95444ba, 5fa2b98fc833fc4e1ee7f1aaa7eb45cdd3cd7cde). Reuse guarded orphan teardown instead of deleting ownership fences. Real two-backend WebSocket probe reproduces the missing-timer wedge on base and proves reconnect/delegation protection and recovery. Add reusable probe and user documentation.
Desktop's cold resume (defer_history + omit_messages, transcript paged over
REST) only ever holds the live tip segment in memory, but session.resume
bounded it against the FULL compression lineage (sessions.max_resume_messages,
default 20000). A Bot Chat with 85 compaction segments / ~29k lineage rows
behind a ~700-row tip was refused at 20001, sent zero model prompts, and sat on
"Waking up default…" forever — the healthiest possible session shape, rejected
by a guard sized for in-memory materialization.
- hermes_state: one `_resume_lineage_ids` definition shared by the resume
readers (get_resume_conversations, get_ancestor_display_prefix) and the
guard (assert_resume_safe / get_resume_message_count). Guard grows
`tip_only=` and names the scope it counted; the branch-aware lineage the
readers already used is now what the guard counts too (a /branch copy was
being counted against its parent's rows).
- tui_gateway session.resume: deferred, omit_messages and lazy resumes are
bounded by the tip; only the full in-memory lineage resume keeps the
lineage-wide bound. Deferred hydration falls back to tip-only history when
the lineage exceeds the limit instead of loading the rows the guard refused.
- CLI mid-setup tip-only path routes through the same guard instead of
borrowing assert_export_safe.
- docs: sessions.max_resume_messages / max_export_messages documented with the
per-surface scope.
Live repro (real SessionDB fixture, 85 segments / 29,226 lineage rows / 666 tip
rows, real tui_gateway.server.handle_request): before — deferred resume ->
4130; after — ok, hydrated history=666 prefix=0; the non-deferred full resume
still returns 4130 on the same fixture.
Server half of #91684: the desktop can answer an approval prompt with a
stale live sid — its runtime record was re-minted after a reconnect while
the prompt stayed on screen. approval.respond now falls back, on 4001
only, to resolving the target session (1) by the unique approval
request_id across every live session's pending gateway approvals, then
(2) by treating session_id as a STORED session id mapped to its live
runtime record. Only when neither resolves does it return 4001.
Tests: request_id fallback, stored-id fallback, and 4001 when nothing
resolves.
One clarify.request carries the question list (qid, question, choices,
multi_select per entry). clarify.respond gains an optional question_id:
each respond locks one answer, a repeat respond overwrites it, and the
batch resolves when every question is locked. A respond without
question_id keeps its existing meaning (cancel the whole prompt).
Locked answers survive the deadline: a timed-out batch returns the
partial answer map with a timed_out flag instead of an empty string.
The reconnect replay snapshot also carries the locked answers, so a
reattached client restores its per-question state.
Both agent-side clarify dispatch sites forward the questions arg.
Independent review of the prior commit found the cache-invalidation key
alone doesn't fix the reported #88023 dead path: slash.exec runs as a
_LONG_HANDLER on the pool with a copied context, and no binding of
_HERMES_HOME_OVERRIDE happens between the transport read and the handler
body, so get_skill_commands() there always fell back to the process-level
HERMES_HOME regardless of which profile's session issued the request.
Bind the session's own profile_home around the get_skill_commands() check,
mirroring the same bind/reset-in-finally pattern already used at every
other per-turn HERMES_HOME scoping site (e.g. server.py's prompt-turn and
system-prompt-rebuild paths). This makes the #88023 dead path actually
reachable by the fix instead of only exercising the cache primitive in
isolation.
Clarify prompts share the same emitted-while-detached failure class the
pending-approval replay fixed: `clarify.request` rides `_block()`'s pending
registry, so a client whose transport was down when the event fired never
sees the question and the agent thread stays parked until timeout.
Widen the resume snapshot the same way:
- tui_gateway/server.py: `_live_session_payload` now carries
`pending_clarify` — a read-only snapshot of the clarify prompt still
blocking the session, scoped to the owning runtime sid. The registry stays
authoritative; the embedded request_id resolves via clarify.respond.
- Desktop resume paths (`use-session-actions`) restore the parked clarify
into the clarify store (multi_select preserved) and flag needsInput,
mirroring restorePendingApproval on both the activate and resume paths.
- pending_approval replay now also forwards the queue-injected request_id so
the restored prompt responds with exact-request correlation.
- Tests: server-side replay + scoping test; harmonized the #82087 replay
test with the request_id `_ApprovalEntry` now injects.
Correlate approval requests, reject stale responses, replay pending approvals after reconnect or session resume, and preserve fail-closed timeout behavior.
wake.start calls check_wake_word_requirements() → _stt_ready() →
_get_provider() → _try_lazy_install_stt() → ensure("stt.faster_whisper")
(same synchronous subprocess install chain as voice.toggle), and
start_listening() → _build_engine() whose constructors call
lazy_deps.ensure("wake.openwakeword" / "wake.sherpa" / …).
wake.status calls check_wake_word_requirements() too and is polled
by the desktop on every gateway-ready. Same bug class as #21123 /
#50005 — sibling to the voice RPC fix in the prior commit.
Update existing wake.start test call sites from server.dispatch() to
_dispatch_sync() since dispatch() now returns None for pool-routed
methods. Extend the pool-routing regression test to cover wake RPCs.
voice.toggle (status) triggers check_voice_requirements() -> STT provider
auto-detect -> a synchronous faster-whisper lazy install (uv/pip subprocess
with a 300s timeout). Inline on the WS reader thread it stalls handle_ws
before it reads the next frame, so prompt.submit / session.list queued
behind a voice.toggle sit unread and the desktop 'send message' appears
dead for minutes while the install churns (reproduced: voice.toggle ->
session.list 40s+ timeout).
Route voice.toggle/voice.record/voice.tts to the RPC pool (same bug class
as #21123 / #50005) so a slow lazy install can't block message handling.
Adapt the voice handler tests to drive the handler inline via a small
_dispatch_sync helper (preserving transport-binding semantics) since
dispatch() now returns None for pool-routed methods, and add a regression
test asserting the voice RPCs stay pool-routed.
The mid-setup CLI resume path loads only the tip session's rows, so
gate it with a tip-only count instead of the full-lineage count (which
over-rejected heavily-compressed sessions). Transient guard failures
(locked DB, adaptor stores) now log and proceed instead of blocking
resume with a new error.
The LRU-cap test in tests/tui_gateway/test_protocol.py stubs
_close_session_by_id with a two-arg lambda; the reaper now passes a
revalidation predicate. Widen the stub signature.
Makes interrupt-protected context compression cancellable by an explicit
user or lifecycle stop, without weakening protection against ordinary
incoming messages, voice interjections, or active-turn redirects.
Separates explicit hard cancellation from ordinary interrupt/redirect
state with a dedicated threading.Event; introduces
AuxiliaryExplicitCancellation as an attempt-local frozen-cause signal;
isolates the synchronous provider callback in a bounded daemon worker
during protected compression; atomically linearizes Codex timeout
cleanup against explicit cancellation; propagates hard cancellation
through child agents and explicit stop surfaces; serializes hard-cancel
admission against compression commit admission with
CompressionCommitFence; aborts before session rotation or late DB commit,
restores in-place transcript mutations and compressor state, and releases
the heartbeat and compression lease.
Based on #74449 by @suparious. Resolved merge conflicts in
agent/context_compressor.py (feasibility check + try/except) and
tui_gateway/methods_session.py.
Cross-file leaks made tests/tui_gateway + tests/test_tui_gateway_server.py
fail when run in one process (issue #57068):

to the fake home so no test ever touches the developer's real state.db
- conftest: new autouse _reset_tui_gateway_server_state snapshots/restores
_methods, cfg cache, db handle and _real_stdout, and tears down leftover
sessions via the production _close_session_by_id(..., end_reason=
"test_cleanup") boundary
- per-file fixtures scope patch.dict(sys.modules) to the import only

list_recent_user_messages and the in-memory /retry + session.undo walkers
treated every role=user row as a real user turn. Timeline bookkeeping
(model_switch, async_delegation_complete, auto_continue, hidden) is stored
that way, so /undo soft-deleted from a marker and /retry re-sent opaque
bookkeeping text. Exclude display_kind the same way CLI resume counting and
the prompt.submit ordinal path do.
* fix: Branch in new chat loses the question and the branched session (#issue)
- session.branch on the backend now accepts a count param to truncate
the parent history to the clicked message, instead of always forking
the entire transcript. Also returns stored_session_id/messages/info
so the frontend has parity with session.create's response shape.
- branchCurrentSession (open live chat) now slices history from 0
instead of from the clicked message index, so the question preceding
an assistant reply is no longer dropped when branching.
- forkBranch now calls session.branch (not session.create) when
branching an open live chat, since session.create only persists a DB
row lazily on first prompt - a branched chat that nobody types into
never got saved, and vanished as 'session not found' on the next
app restart. branchStoredSession (branching from the sidebar, no
live runtime) keeps using session.create as before.
* test: cover session.branch count truncation and open-chat branching
- backend: assert session.branch with a count param only persists the
first N messages of the live history to the new session.
- frontend: BranchHarness now exposes branchCurrentSession; assert
branching an open chat from a middle message calls session.branch
with the parent session id and the correct trimmed count, instead of
session.create.
`_block()` bridges four blocking request types — secret, sudo, clarify,
terminal.read — with an identical lifecycle: on timeout the tool gives up and
returns empty, but a slow renderer (or a WebSocket reconnect that dropped
tool.complete) can still answer afterward. Only secret and sudo tolerated that
late reply; clarify and terminal.read still hit the generic 4009 "no pending
request" error, which clients surface as a raw JSON-RPC string (and at least
one desktop fork re-armed the pending request on the error).
Bring the two stragglers in line with the pair that already works:
- `_block` now emits `{event}.expire` on timeout for all four request types.
- `clarify.respond` and `terminal.read.respond` pass `allow_expired=True`, so a
late answer resolves to `{"status": "expired"}` instead of erroring.
Tests parametrize the timeout-expiry and late-idempotent-response cases over
all four bridges; the old test asserting clarify stays a 4009 error is updated
to the new graceful contract.
Supersedes #56571 (clarify) and #64886 (terminal.read) — same root cause, one fix.

The cross-surface theme SDK's live-repaint relies on a gateway skin watcher
that polls config and emits skin.changed on any move. But that emit is
session-less and fires from a background thread, so write_json fell through
its (session-transport -> contextvar -> stdio) ladder to the module stdio
transport — which only reaches the stdio TUI (tee'd to the dashboard WS
publisher). WS clients (the desktop app, dashboard chat) never got it, so
'Hermes themes itself' repainted the CLI/TUI but not the GUI.
Add a live-transport registry (one entry per connected WS peer, maintained by
handle_ws) and a _broadcast_global_event primitive that fans session-less
announcements out to every connected client, falling back to write_json when
none are registered (stdio path unchanged). Route both skin.changed emits
(watcher + the /skin RPC) through it, so a skin switch from any surface
repaints all of them.
Backend-only; desktop already handles skin.changed and does not drop
session-less events.
Follow-up to the salvaged #28840 change: forward original timestamps in
_persist_branch_seed (TUI first-turn branch persist), add behavioral
round-trip tests for branch copy and compression-style replace, TUI
protocol tests asserting session.branch and _persist_branch_seed forward
timestamps, and register the contributor email mapping.
A skin Hermes activates (`hermes config set display.skin X`) or recolors in
place now goes live on every surface (CLI, TUI, desktop) within ~half a
second, on its own — no `/skin`, no tool-hook timing, no user action.
A gateway daemon polls the resolved skin signature `(name, active-file mtime)`
every 0.5s and broadcasts `skin.changed` on any real move — a name switch OR a
live color edit to the active skin. It routes through the SAME path `/skin`
uses, so all surfaces repaint identically. The watcher seeds its baseline at
gateway.ready (stdio + ws) so it only fires on a real change; the `/skin` RPC
seeds the baseline too so it never double-broadcasts.
Subsumes the desktop's post-turn `config.get skin` poll (its skin.changed
handler already applies).
The display_history_prefix calculation used by session.resume's
_live_session_payload was display_history[:len(display) - len(raw)].
This assumed the model (repaired) history is always a suffix of the
display history — i.e., repair_message_sequence only removes messages
from the tail. That assumption broke when verification candidates
(finish_reason=verification_required) were persisted to state.db (#65919):
- repair collapses consecutive assistant messages, removing the
verification candidate from the MODEL history
- the candidate stays in the DISPLAY history (it's real persisted content)
- the length gap (gap = len(display) - len(raw)) counts BOTH ancestor
messages AND repair-removed tip messages
- the prefix = display[:gap] grabs the first N display messages, which
are tip messages (not ancestors) when there are no compression ancestors
- _live_session_payload concatenates prefix + model_history, duplicating
the first N messages
On session 20260720_110036_a33889 (8 verification candidates), this
duplicated the first 8 messages in every warm-cache session.activate
response, producing visible duplicate user messages in the desktop.
Fix: add SessionDB.get_ancestor_display_prefix() which returns ONLY
genuine ancestor messages (rows where session_id != tip_session_id),
identified at the row level before _rows_to_conversation strips
session_id. Both resume paths (eager + deferred) now use this instead
of the length-slice heuristic.
Tests:
- test_get_ancestor_display_prefix_single_session_returns_empty
- test_get_ancestor_display_prefix_returns_ancestor_only_messages
- Updated 12 mock DBs across test_protocol.py + test_tui_gateway_server.py
- 848 passed (run_tests.sh), 0 regressions
session.resume built two projections of the same lineage with two separate
get_messages_as_conversation calls — the model-fed copy (tip rows, alternation-
repaired) and the display copy (full lineage, verbatim). The display fetch
already reads a superset of the model fetch (the tip rows are part of the
lineage), so the second call re-scanned the same messages.
Add SessionDB.get_resume_conversations(): one lineage SELECT, split into the tip
(model) and full (display) projections in memory via the extracted
_rows_to_conversation helper. Byte-identical to the two separate reads
(test_get_resume_conversations_matches_separate_reads covers a lineage with a
dangling tool-call tail so repair diverges the two lengths, a single session,
and replayed-user dedup). Both session.resume build paths (deferred + eager) now
use it; the subagent single-read path is unchanged.
From the Desktop performance audit (P1: "Remove repeated resume transcript
work") — the gateway half. The renderer's concurrent REST prefetch is left as-is
(the audit flags dropping it as measure-first).
* feat(attribution): conflict-free contributor mappings via contributors/emails/ directory
The AUTHOR_MAP dict in scripts/release.py was a merge-conflict magnet:
every concurrent salvage PR appended entries to the same lines of the
same file, so parallel PRs re-conflicted on every merge to main.
New system: one file per email under contributors/emails/ — filename is
the commit-author email, first non-comment line is the GitHub login.
File additions never conflict, so any number of PRs can add mappings
concurrently.
- scripts/release.py: AUTHOR_MAP is now LEGACY_AUTHOR_MAP (frozen)
merged with the directory at import time (directory wins). All
existing consumers (resolve_author, contributor_audit.py) unchanged.
- scripts/add_contributor.py: idempotent CLI to add a mapping; refuses
conflicting reassignments (incl. against the legacy map), validates
email/login shapes.
- contributor-check.yml: attribution gate now accepts a mapping file OR
a legacy entry; failure message prints the exact add_contributor
command. Also auto-resolves bare <login>@users.noreply.github.com
emails is intentionally NOT added (kept id+login form only, matching
previous behavior).
- contributor_audit.py: guidance now points at add_contributor.py.
- tests/scripts/test_contributor_map.py: 12 tests covering loader,
merge precedence, CLI idempotency/conflict/validation, subprocess E2E.
* feat(ci): one-shot per-file flake retry in the parallel test runner
A failing test FILE is re-run once in a fresh subprocess. Pass-on-retry
counts as green but is loudly reported in a '⚠ FLAKY' summary section
(with both attempts' output preserved) so the flake gets fixed instead
of eating a full-run rerun. Deterministic failures fail both attempts —
regressions cannot be laundered green.
- --file-retries N / HERMES_TEST_FILE_RETRIES (default 1, 0 disables)
- E2E verified: simulated first-run-fail flake goes green with banner;
deterministic failure still exits 1; retries=0 restores old behavior.
This converts the dominant CI failure mode (one timing-sensitive test
flaking a 4600-test shard, requiring a manual 10-minute rerun and an
agent triage loop) into a self-healing retry that costs one file's
runtime.
* test(approval): loosen wall-clock perf bounds 0.15s -> 2.0s
These guard against catastrophic regex backtracking (seconds-to-minutes
class), but 0.15s is within scheduler-stall noise on loaded shared CI
runners — test_max_accepted_separator_free_input_is_fast failed a CI
shard this week on runner load alone. 2.0s still catches the regression
class with zero flake surface.
* fix(ci): job timeouts everywhere + retries on all network installs
Reliability pass over every workflow:
- timeout-minutes on all 21 jobs that lacked one (a hung job previously
burned the 6-hour default runner budget)
- ./.github/actions/retry wrapped around every network-fetching install
that lacked it: pip installs (deploy-site, skills-index), npm ci
(deploy-site website, upload_to_pypi web + ui-tui), uv sync (docker
test deps). Deterministic build steps (npm run build) deliberately
NOT retried — split into separate steps so a real build failure fails
fast instead of retrying 3x.
* docs(agents): document the file-retry flake policy
* fix(ci): curl retries on deploy hook + skills-index probe
* fix(ci): kill the remaining transient-failure classes in workflows + Dockerfile
From the workflow reliability audit:
- tests.yml: duration-cache restore had NO restore-keys while saves use
run_id-suffixed keys — the cache never matched once, so LPT slicing
always ran blind and unbalanced slices pushed heavy files toward the
per-file timeout. One-line restore-keys fixes slice balancing.
- Label gates (lint ci-reviewed, supply-chain mcp-catalog-reviewed):
'gh pr view || true' turned an API blip into 'label absent' → false
BLOCKING failure. Now 3x retry, and API failure is reported as an API
failure instead of a missing label.
- detect-changes action: compare API retried before failing open (was
silently running all lanes on any blip).
- uv-lockfile-check: 'uv lock --check' resolves against PyPI — retried
so registry blips don't read as 'lockfile stale'.
- docker.yml merge job: imagetools create retried (Docker Hub eventual
consistency on just-pushed digests).
- Dockerfile: apt-get Acquire::Retries=3; s6-overlay ADDs converted to
curl --retry 3 (ADD cannot retry; checksums still enforced); npm
--fetch-retries=5; playwright chromium fetch retried 3x.
- Advisory artifact uploads (per-slice durations, ci-timings report)
get continue-on-error so an artifact-service blip can't fail a green
test slice.
* fix(tests): kill the two root-cause flakes — leaking pre-warm timer + env-dependent provider list
- test_tui_gateway_server.py: session.create / non-eager session.resume
arm a 50ms threading.Timer (_schedule_agent_build) that outlives its
test and fires into the NEXT test's _make_agent mock, racily
corrupting captured state (the recurring session_resume shard
failures). Replaced the per-test whack-a-mole stub with a module-wide
autouse fixture; the 3 worker-lifecycle tests that genuinely need the
deferred build opt back in via @pytest.mark.real_agent_prewarm (new
marker in pyproject).
- test_api_key_providers.py: PROVIDER_ENV_VARS is now derived from the
live PROVIDER_REGISTRY instead of a hand-list that had drifted
(missing HF_TOKEN / DEEPINFRA_API_KEY) — resolve_provider('auto')
tests failed on any machine with HF_TOKEN exported. E2E-verified with
HF_TOKEN/DEEPINFRA_API_KEY set: 42/42 pass.
* test: de-flake 30 timing-sensitive test files for loaded CI runners
Root-cause fixes from the flake audit (session-DB mining + repo sweep):
Event-based sync instead of sleep-sync:
- title_generator: mock sets threading.Event, wait(10) replaces
sleep(0.3) hoping the daemon thread got scheduled
- docker zombie_reaping / profile_gateway: poll-for-state helpers
replace fixed 1-3s sleeps (s6 transitions + SIGCHLD reaping are async)
- process_registry tree test: select()-bounded readline replaces an
unbounded blocking read (parent wedge now fails THIS test with a clear
message instead of an opaque rc=124 file kill); SIGTERM grace 1s->2s
(the 1s partition window mid-interpreter-startup is how a child PID
escaped the live-system guard in CI)
Timeout raises (loaded 8-way-sliced runners see ~5s scheduling floors;
all of these complete in ms-to-1s when healthy so the raises cost
nothing on green runs):
- subprocess/thread waits <= 2s raised to 10-15s across mcp_tool,
mcp_circuit_breaker, mcp_reconnect_retry_reset, mcp_parked_self_probe,
mcp_cancelled_error_propagation, registry, clarify_gateway, interrupt,
voice_cli_integration, docker_environment, session_store_lock_io,
planned_stop_watcher, cli_interrupt_subagent, thread_scoped_output
(joins now also assert not is_alive() so stragglers fail loudly)
- wall-clock discrimination ceilings loosened where the guarded hang is
10x larger: local_background_child_hang 4s->10s, interrupt_cleanup
setup 5s->20s + pgid-exit 30s->60s, mcp_stability grandchild spinup
5s->15s, protocol/gil-starvation fast-handler 0.5s->2s,
iso_certify_seam 1.5s->5s, wait_for_mcp_discovery 0.1s->1s
- narrow assertion windows widened: honcho first-turn wait 0.4..0.65 ->
0.25..2.0 (property is bounded-not-hung, not an exact wall-clock);
compression fork-lock TTL 1s->3s (12 refresh chances per lease);
compression-lock expiry margins symmetric (ttl 0.05->0.5, sleep 1.0)
- telegram hung-DNS bound 1.0->1.4 (fake hang is 1.5s — must stay under)
* fix(tests): repair indentation from de-flake batch edit
* fix(tests): harden env isolation and replace remaining sleep-sync races
The full 42k-test run and complete npm check surfaced three more classes:
- Environment isolation: local ~/.honcho defaultHost and SSH_* variables
leaked into Python/TUI tests. Pin the default Honcho host in the
hermetic fixture, isolate the one fallback test from ~/.honcho, and
blank SSH_* around terminalSetup tests. This flipped 20 false failures
back to deterministic behavior on developer machines.
- Background-thread sleep-sync: Honcho async writer tests patched
time.sleep globally, then busy-polled with that same mocked sleep. Under
full-suite load the poller could starve the writer. Each test now waits
on an Event emitted by the exact flush/retry transition; 30/30 passed
under 15-way contention.
- Desktop streaming: the test slept 80ms and assumed a 500ms timer could
not fire before its assertion. A loaded runner descheduled the test for
>500ms and both chunks arrived. Producer controls now gate second-chunk
and completion transitions explicitly.
Also make file-retry observability complete: a self-healed flaky file now
prints BOTH attempts' full output in the FLAKY summary. Two behavioral
runner tests prove pass-on-retry is green+loud+traceback-preserving, while
a deterministic failure remains red.
* refactor(ci): use gh bot pat, better retries
refactor(ci): use retry action for PR label fetch
the retry action now captures stdout as a step output, so it can serve
double duty: retry + output capture for commands like 'gh pr view' whose
result must be consumed by later steps.
Retry action gains:
- 'stdout' output (heredoc-delimited to preserve newlines)
- tee to temp file so stdout still streams to the job log
- step id 'retry' for output reference
Both lint.yml and supply-chain-audit.yml now use the retry action
directly with 'command: gh pr view ...' and read
steps.<id>.outputs.stdout.
ci: use AUTOFIX_BOT_PAT for all gh CLI / GitHub API auth
Replace secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN and github.token with
secrets.AUTOFIX_BOT_PAT across all workflows and composite actions
that use the gh CLI or GitHub API. The PAT has consistent permissions
across fork PRs (where GITHUB_TOKEN is read-only), avoids API rate
limit sharing with the default token, and is already used by
js-autofix.yml for the same reasons.

The lazy session.resume path now calls
db.get_messages_as_conversation(target, repair_alternation=True), but the
fake _DB stubs in test_protocol.py still declared the pre-change signature,
so the resume raised "unexpected keyword argument 'repair_alternation'"
and the three session_resume_lazy tests failed.
Mirror the real get_messages_as_conversation signature in the stubs by
accepting (and ignoring) repair_alternation.
The desktop app's chat panel reuses tui_gateway as its backend, so every chat session was stamped platform="tui". That made the agent read terminal-specific platform guidance while running in the graphical desktop chat surface.
Resolve the misclassification at its source: tui_gateway now picks platform="desktop" when HERMES_DESKTOP=1 and HERMES_DESKTOP_TERMINAL is unset, and keeps platform="tui" for the embedded terminal pane and standalone TUI. Add a PLATFORM_HINTS["desktop"] entry describing the actual chat surface (full GFM markdown, MEDIA: intercept, inline images). Move the embedded-pane clarifier to the platform-hint resolution site so it appends only to the tui hint under HERMES_DESKTOP_TERMINAL=1. Delete the now-dead desktop-hint block from build_environment_hints() that competed with the platform hint.
Standalone TUI sessions produce byte-identical prompts as before; the new desktop hint and clarifier are assembled once per session in the stable tier, so prompt caching is preserved.
complete.path and complete.slash ran inline on the tui_gateway stdin
reader thread. complete.path spawns git ls-files and fuzzy-ranks the
whole repo; complete.slash does first-call prompt_toolkit imports plus a
skill-dir scan. While either ran, prompt.submit / session.interrupt sat
unread in the stdin pipe, freezing the TUI until the 120s RPC timeout
fired — most reliably reproduced by typing @ on a large repo / WSL2 mount.
Add both to _LONG_HANDLERS so completion runs on the existing thread
pool (write_json is already _stdout_lock-guarded). Root-cause fix:
covers any slow completion, not just the bare-@ trigger.
Fixes#21123
Per review: gating the faster path behind a `defer_build` flag that the
only caller always sends is pointless. Flip it — `session.resume` now
defers the agent build by default for every caller (desktop + Ink TUI);
a caller that needs the agent built synchronously passes `eager_build:
true` (used by the build-race test). The desktop no longer sends a flag.
While verifying the flip, fixed two real parity gaps the deferred path
had vs the old eager (`_init_session`) path:
- `_enable_gateway_prompts()` was never called on a deferred resume, so
approvals/clarify wouldn't route through the gateway prompt callbacks.
- `_start_agent_build` never wired `background_review_callback` /
`memory_notifications`, so a deferred-built session's self-improvement
"💾 …" summary leaked to stdout instead of rendering in-transcript.
Wiring it there also fixes it for `session.create` sessions, which
build through the same path.
ACP is unaffected (it uses its own session_manager, not this RPC); the
Ink TUI already consumes the same lazy `info` shape from session.create
and upgrades on the later `session.info` event.
Switching sessions in the desktop app could freeze the whole UI for
several seconds on heavy, tool-rich chats. Root causes and fixes:
- Cold `session.resume` built the AIAgent (MCP discovery, prompt/skill
build) *before* returning, and the desktop awaits that RPC before it
paints — so the entire switch blocked on the build. Add an opt-in
`defer_build` resume path (the contract `session.create` already uses):
return the full display transcript immediately, register an upgradable
live session, and pre-warm the agent on a short timer. The persisted
runtime identity (model/provider/base_url/api_mode/reasoning/tier) is
restored on the deferred build so it can't drop the provider.
- Nothing bounded how many in-memory agents accumulate; a user who
reconnects often piled up detached sessions for the full 6h TTL. Add a
soft LRU cap (`max_live_sessions`, default 16) that evicts the
least-recently-active DETACHED sessions (no live client) — never a
running, awaiting-input, mid-build, or live-transport one. Reopening
re-resumes from disk.
- On the prefetch-hit cold-resume path, skip rebuilding a throwaway
merged-message array (and its 1000-entry Map) when the prefetch already
painted the exact transcript; the downstream sameMessageList guard
already drops the publish, so it was pure main-thread cost.
The desktop opts into `defer_build` for every non-watch cold resume; the
eager path stays for CLI/TUI and existing callers.
The Desktop GUI (tui_gateway) slash worker subprocess has no reader for
the CLI's _pending_input queue. /learn's CLI handler prints the ack and
puts the built prompt onto that queue, so in the TUI the prompt was
silently dropped — ack shown, no LLM turn, no skill created (#51829).
command.dispatch already handles 'learn' correctly (returns
{type: send, message: build_learn_prompt(arg)}), but 'learn' was missing
from _PENDING_INPUT_COMMANDS, so slash.exec fell through to the worker
instead of routing to command.dispatch. Add it to the frozenset, matching
the existing goal/queue/steer/plan pattern.
When a session rotates id on compression, _sync_session_key_after_compress()
re-anchored the session_key, approval-notify routing, yolo state, and slash
worker — but never moved the active-session lease, which stayed keyed to the
pre-compression id. And _find_live_session_by_key() matched live sessions on
the stale session_key, not the live agent's current agent.session_id. After
compression a resume/create path failed to recognize the existing live agent
and could build a SECOND live agent against the same DB continuation -> forked
lineage / cross-session message mixing.
- active_sessions.transfer_active_session(): move a lease in place to the new
id under the exclusive file lock (no slot drop).
- gateway _transfer_active_session_slot(): call it inside
_sync_session_key_after_compress(); on the rare fallback (entry pruned)
RESERVE the new slot before releasing the old lease (reserve-before-release),
so a concurrent gateway at the session cap cannot grab the freed slot in a
release-then-reacquire window and leave this session with no lease; if the
reserve fails, keep the existing lease (review fix).
- _session_lookup_key(): make live-session lookup authoritative on
agent.session_id, wired into all stale-session_key consumers
(_find_live_session_by_key, _session_live_item, _live_session_payload) —
fixes the whole lookup class.

When /goal (and other _PENDING_INPUT_COMMANDS: retry, queue, q, steer,
plan, undo) were typed in the TUI desktop app, slash.exec returned error
4018 instructing the frontend to fall back to command.dispatch. Some
clients failed that client-side fallback, leaving the command empty and
surfacing "empty command" — the user's typed text was silently dropped.
slash.exec now routes pending-input commands to command.dispatch
internally, eliminating the fragile client-side fallback hop. The
response is exactly what command.dispatch would have produced, so the
TUI client behaves identically once the round-trip succeeds.
Salvaged from #48944 — rebased onto current main. The original PR's
source change and test_goal_command.py update are correct, but it missed
the second test surface: tests/tui_gateway/test_protocol.py's
parametrized test_slash_exec_rejects_pending_input_commands still
asserted the old 4018 rejection for retry/queue/q/steer/plan, turning CI
red (5 failures). That test is rewritten here as a behavior contract:
slash.exec for a pending-input command must yield the same payload as a
direct command.dispatch call, and must no longer emit the old
"pending-input command" fallback rejection.
