The desktop guide and the wake-word page told users to click an ear in the
composer row; it now fans out of the microphone on hover. The folded voice
menu, not the ear, carries the silent-mic hint.
kvnloo (#111620 review) asked for the operator-visible statement that once a serve /
dashboard process hosts a second profile, the launch profile's env-only credentials are
frozen at activation and a rotation in the process env needs a restart. Also states the
routed-child rule with and without the multiplex flag (#111617). Adds encoding='utf-8'
to the probe child in the child-env authority test (windows-footguns lint).
Three P1 findings from the review of #111062 (fixes#110850 remainder):
- interrupted-detection keyed off `plan.default.has_gateway`, which is true for an
installed-but-dead unit; `systemd_install` writes the unit before the start that
can still be killed, so an apply interrupted at default/start (or mid-restart of
a stopped default) was reported as "already multiplexed" and never recovered.
`interrupted` is now derived from the manifest vs the LIVE default's recorded
served_profiles: flag on + manifest + not every migrated profile served = resume.
- the compensation `try` began after `_remove_secondary_gateways` and the flag
write, so a later secondary's stop, a unit's daemon-reload or the config write
failing left the first secondary removed with no rollback. The flag write,
removals and default bring-up now all sit inside one boundary that rolls back
through the manifest; `_preflight_apply` refuses failures knowable from the plan
(root system unit without a recorded User=, unresolvable recorded user, an
unwritable config.yaml) before any working gateway is stopped.
- `_guard_unix_user` blocked an unknown SECONDARY principal but accepted
`default_uid is None`; a default system unit whose User= this host cannot
resolve is the same boundary from the other side and now blocks the update
hook (same known uid still folds, different known uid still refuses).
A rename under a live multiplexer that could not reach the control verb warned and
stopped there, leaving the operator with no way to finish: the rename cannot be
repeated (profiles/<old> is gone) and the CLI deliberately never rewrites the
routing DB a live gateway holds in memory.
- `hermes profile migrate-identity <old> <new>`: retries the migration —
delegates to the gateway control verb while a multiplexer is live, performs the
durable rewrite of both state DBs when none is. Idempotent, and exits non-zero
naming the offending database on a collision, a lock, or a partial failure. Only
the name format and the existence of the new profile are checked; the old profile
directory is expected to be gone.
- An older gateway that does not implement the verb is reported as such (`identify`
answers while the migrate verb does not), not as "no gateway".
- `_migrate_profile_identity` returns an explicit success/failure result so the
command can set its exit code; the rename warning now names the exact invocation.
- A failed control answer keeps the raw payload when it carries no reason field.
- The offline failure branch called `click.echo` in a module that never imports
`click`: a failed second database raised NameError instead of printing its warning.
Auto-generated display titles (LLM or derived) were passed to Honcho's
resolve_session_name() as authoritative, so a titled per-repo,
per-directory, or global session silently remapped onto a second Honcho
session named after the generated title. Only explicit /title commands
(user provenance) should act as an intentional session-name override.
Thread session_title_source from the session DB through
agent_init into the Honcho provider, and skip title-based remapping
when the source is 'derived' or 'llm'. Missing provenance keeps the
legacy explicit-title behavior for callers that predate source
threading. Gateway per-chat keys and per-session identity safeguards
are unchanged.
Adds regressions for titled per-repo, per-directory, and global
sessions at both the resolver and provider level.
Fixes#24740
(cherry picked from commit e7ba26ee15821baa382a397ce9ce9cd57a260188)
`server_error` and `timeout` join the transient-provider set that makes a Kanban
worker exit 75 (EX_TEMPFAIL). A provider outage or a hung connection says
nothing about the task, so the dispatcher requeues without a failure tick
rather than counting toward the circuit breaker (#91206 proposed the same set).
The code registry cannot tell a plugin-only name from one the gateway
reads straight off os.environ (TELEGRAM_GROUP_ALLOWED_USERS), so the
note was false for real settings. Every UPPER_SNAKE name simply lands
in .env; the docs say so.
`hermes config set TELEGRAM_GROUP_ALLOWED_USERS ...` (and ~290 other documented
variables Hermes reads straight from os.getenv without registering them in
OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS) still landed as a config.yaml top-level scalar with a notice,
while the setup flows write .env and one-shot CLI readers never bridge YAML
scalars — two writers, two readers. #112250 routed the registered names; this
closes the class with a shape rule: any bare ^[A-Z][A-Z0-9_]*$ key is an
environment setting.
- set: writes .env, drops a stale config.yaml copy, never writes UPPER_SNAKE
into config.yaml (--force included); the env writer's denylist
(HERMES_YOLO_MODE, PATH, ...) now refuses cleanly instead of the YAML detour
bridging the value into os.environ; a name neither registered nor in the
environment-variables reference gets a one-line note but is still saved.
- get: .env first; a leftover top-level config.yaml copy is reported as stale.
- unset: removes the .env entry and the stale copy.
- Registered names, credentials (credential lifecycle + masking), dotted paths
and lowercase bare keys are unchanged.
Fixes#111848 (first half landed in #112250).
The non-quiet one-shot path exited 0 unless a Kanban worker was running, so
scripts could not tell a failed `hermes chat -q` from a good one and an
incomplete turn (partial, iteration budget) still read as success (#111770).
Both one-shot paths now share one contract: 0 completed, 1 failed / partial /
incomplete / never ran, 130 interrupted. The Kanban EX_TEMPFAIL sentinel also
fires for `upstream_rate_limit` (aggregator's upstream 429) and `overloaded`
(503/529): neither says anything about the task, so the dispatcher should
requeue without a failure tick rather than count it toward the breaker.
When the CLI approval callback raises, when no callback is registered on the
thread while prompt_toolkit owns the terminal, or when the input() read is
interrupted, prompt_dangerous_approval returned "deny" and the command gate
rendered "BLOCKED: User denied this command" — attributing a refusal to a
user who was never asked (#22992). #112308 fixed the gateway half of the
class (withdrawn prompts -> outcome "cancelled" with a cause); this closes
the CLI residual on the same shape.
- tools/approval_prompt.py: those three paths return an Unanswered("cancelled")
sentinel carrying the cause; MCP elicitation consent maps it to "cancel".
- tools/approval.py: the CLI gate renders "BLOCKED: <noun> was not approved: the
approval prompt could not be delivered or was not answered (<cause>)" with
outcome "cancelled" — still fail-closed, "Silence is not consent".
- tools/file_tools_write_guards.py: the protected-instruction write gate
reports the undelivered prompt instead of "was denied by the user".
- Shared metrics: "cancelled" is a counted approval outcome (contract + v2
schema) instead of falling into "unknown".
- Docs: hook `choice="cancelled"` now covers the CLI causes.
Fixes#22992
Salvage of #93649 (@TurgutKural). _apply_pending_fleet_restart_catchup took two
booleans (respect_no_gateway_restart + no_gateway_restart) that were only ever
true together; one `defer` keyword says the same thing. The 13 tests are cut to
the two invariants (pulled path skips restart + verify and keeps the marker;
already-current path defers the catch-up). The user guide gains a section on
running `hermes update` from inside the gateway.
The 1Password page describes the minimal allowlisted child environment;
list the config-location variables so a user moving the op config dir
(unwritable ~/.config in containers) knows the setting is honoured.
Follow-up to the ported status fix:
- `tui_gateway/contracts/tools_mcp_plugins.py::McpRuntimeStatus` is a
closed wire enum; `mcp.servers.status` would raise `ContractViolation`
on the new `lazy` value. Declare it and regenerate the TS/OpenRPC
contract files.
- `ui-tui` session panel: an unknown status fell through to the red
`failed` branch; render `lazy` with its cached tool count (inline
branch, no component extraction).
- Two invariant tests, both red on origin/main: the real discovery path
yields `status: lazy` with the cached tool count and a summary without
`failed` (eager control stays `configured`, live control stays
`connected`); a lazy-only run neither warns nor re-arms the startup
retry, while a configured-only run still does.
- Document the per-server `lazy` key (undocumented until now) in
`cli-config.yaml.example`, the MCP config reference and the MCP guide.
Document that an untrusted-server write-capable MCP tool now parks a run in
waiting_for_approval and is resolved through POST /v1/runs/{id}/approval,
the same bridge dangerous-command approvals already use.

Follow-up to the salvaged #111796 commit:
- NO_PROXY matching goes through `agent.proxy_bypass.should_bypass_proxy` (the one
matcher the LLM transport and the gateway adapters already use), so CIDR ranges and
`*.host` patterns bypass the proxy for MCP servers exactly as they do for the model
endpoint. The stdlib `proxy_bypass` stays for the OS bypass list (Windows
ProxyOverride / macOS exceptions). Live probe: NO_PROXY=10.255.255.0/24 still routed
the MCP request through the proxy before this commit, direct after.
- Drop the try/except around `getproxies()` / `proxy_bypass()`: the stdlib guards its
own registry/sysconf reads and httpx calls the same functions unguarded.
- Trim the six contributor tests to two invariants (mount + NO_PROXY incl. CIDR; both
client builders carry mounts next to the body-cap transport). Fixture uses the stdlib
`getproxies_environment` / `proxy_bypass_environment` instead of a hand-rolled copy and
skips when the mcp SDK is absent.
- Docs: one sentence on the MCP page about proxy resolution for HTTP/SSE servers.
- contributors/emails mapping for the PR author.
Follow-up to the cherry-picked #111584 (@chelsealong):
- website/docs/user-guide/docker.md: new warning block next to the existing
"do not override the entrypoint" note explaining WHY (with `/init` gone the
hermes process is PID 1 and nothing reaps orphaned browser/MCP/shell
children), the Compose `init: true` / `docker run --init` remedy, and that
supervision is still lost on that path; plus a Troubleshooting entry for
`<defunct>` processes under PID 1.
- hermes_cli/main.py: `_warn_if_unsupervised_pid1` keeps the `os.getpid() == 1`
check and drops the `platform.system()` gate and the blanket
`try/except Exception: pass` — a user process is never PID 1 on any host OS
(PID 1 is init/launchd; Windows PIDs are multiples of 4), and nothing in the
check can raise.
- tests trimmed to two invariants (warns at pid 1 / silent otherwise).
Not done, on purpose: a `prctl(PR_SET_CHILD_SUBREAPER)` + SIGCHLD reaper in
main-wrapper/hermes. As PID 1 hermes already receives the orphans; what is
missing is a `waitpid(-1)` loop, and a process-wide one races
`subprocess.Popen` for exit statuses. The maintainer decides whether that
runtime change is wanted; docs + the startup warning cover the reported
deployment.
`hermes mcp login <server> --flow device` took `authorization_servers[0]`
from the protected-resource metadata and failed when that entry was a
browser-only or issuer-inconsistent server, even though a later entry was
the issuer-bound device_code server meant for headless clients (Higgsfield
advertises exactly this shape: a PKCE server first, the device server second).
Discovery now tries each advertised server in order and binds to the first
whose metadata issuer matches its advertised URL and that offers device
authorization. Issuer validation (RFC 8414 / SEP-2468) is unchanged per
server; a single-server resource raises exactly the error it raised before,
and a multi-server resource with no usable entry reports every attempt.
The browser path (`tools/mcp_oauth_manager.py` pre-flight) is deliberately
left on the SDK's own first-entry selection: the SDK's 401-branch discovery
re-selects `authorization_servers[0]` itself, so a divergent pre-flight pick
would only desynchronise the cached metadata from what the SDK authorizes against.
Follow-up to the cherry-picked watchdog from #112052 (@KoNit-K), finishing the
class the reporter of #112049 laid out:
- `_websocket_loop` runs the read loop and the discovery sweep as sibling
tasks and ends the connection when EITHER finishes. The discovery sweep
re-raises `ConnectionClosed` instead of logging it and retrying next tick:
a send that sees the socket closed is proof the read the loop is parked on
will never return. That is exactly the traceback the reporter watched for
22-86 h while inbound stayed silent.
- Health is invalidated while reconnecting: the first disconnect publishes
`retrying` (`_mark_degraded`) and a successful re-subscribe publishes
`connected` again. Before, `connect()` wrote "connected" once and nothing
ever changed it, so `/health/detailed` claimed delivery during the silence.
- The teardown awaits both tasks with `gather(return_exceptions=True)` instead
of a bare `except (CancelledError, Exception): pass`, which could swallow a
`disconnect()` cancellation landing mid-teardown.
- Slims the salvaged read-loop hunk: the extra "receive task remained parked"
warning and the in-loop `_mark_degraded()` are dropped; the reconnect log
line and the loop-level health flip cover both.
Docs: the Buzz page still described inbound as poll-only and the WebSocket
transport as a future optimization; it now describes the watchdog and the
`retrying` health state.
Under multiplex a secondary profile reads FEISHU_GROUP_POLICY from its own
secret scope only (deliberate 0.21.3 isolation), so a profile whose .env
carries no FEISHU_* policy keys falls back to `allowlist` with an empty
FEISHU_ALLOWED_USERS and every human group message is rejected while DMs
keep working. That deny was logged only at DEBUG, making it look like the
events never arrived (#111420).
Keep the scoped read as is — no environ fallthrough. Instead, the first
group drop caused by the untouched allowlist default logs once at WARNING
naming the chat and the keys to set (FEISHU_GROUP_POLICY /
FEISHU_ALLOWED_USERS in the profile's own .env, or group_rules in its
config.yaml). Operator-configured denies (populated allowlist, per-chat
rule, non-allowlist policy) and later drops stay at DEBUG. The predicate
lives in the topical sibling feishu_admission_diagnostics.py.
Docs: the Group Message Policy section now states the per-profile read and
where to put the keys under a multiplexed gateway.

`terminal(background=true, notify_on_complete=true)` appended its watcher descriptor to
`process_registry.pending_watchers`, which only the post-turn hooks drain. A process that
finished while the turn that launched it was still running (an agent sleep-polling for
hours) had no watcher task at all: the completion_queue entry sat inert, nothing was
injected, and the chat stayed mute until that turn ended (#112033).
- `_register_completion_watcher` arms the watcher on the live gateway loop at registration
(`GatewayRunner.arm_process_watcher`, via the existing `_gateway_runner_ref` /
`_gateway_loop` seam that send_message and cron already use); `pending_watchers` stays
the fallback while the gateway is not serving (checkpoint recovery at startup, shutdown).
- The agent-notify branch of `_run_process_watcher` keeps its design (the agent's next turn
is the user-facing report) but, when the launching turn is still active at process exit,
the injection only queues a follow-up — so the concise receipt is sent to the chat right
away instead of never. The busy check is taken before injection because the injected turn
itself installs the adapter's session guard.
Live probe (real process, real GatewayRunner loop, fake telegram adapter, busy session):
before — pending_watchers=1 after exit, 0 watcher tasks, 0 injections, 0 receipts;
after — pending_watchers=0, watcher task armed at launch, 1 injection, 1 concise receipt.
Control (idle session): 1 injection, 0 receipts, unchanged.
Slimmer redo of #112038 by @KoNit-K: same two gaps closed, without a second scheduler
registry / loop attribute on ProcessRegistry and GatewayRunner.

Users pointed at the Desktop app as a workaround-breaker ("don't keep the shared session open"); state
the ownership rule so the behaviour is discoverable: a chat-registered heartbeat or /loop is fired by the
gateway and replies into the chat even while a TUI / Desktop viewer has the same session open.
The previous commit claims every outbox before delivering and runs
deliveries per target profile, but `drainBusy` still spanned the delivery
phase: a `bot_relay.outbox.pending` push that arrived while one lane ran a
long turn (up to RELAY_DELIVER_TIMEOUT_MS) only set `drainRerun`, and the new
envelope was claimed after that turn — the reporter's step 3 (bot C mails D
while A→B runs) still ended in `queued_expired`, because the gateway checks
the TTL at the claim.
Scope `drainBusy` to the claim phase and make the delivery lanes module
state: `relayLanes` maps `target_connection::target_profile` to the tail of
that target's in-flight deliveries, so a later drain appends to the running
lane (same target stays ordered, one turn at a time) or starts a new one
(other targets run now). Lane entries drop once idle; stopBotRelay clears
them so a restart begins fresh.
Tests: keep the contributor's red-on-base test (claims every outbox first,
delivers to different targets concurrently) and replace the ordering-only
test — green on base — with one that pins the mid-delivery claim plus the
same-target ordering (red on base AND on the previous commit alone).
Docs: bot-mode.md states the delivery concurrency contract.
Part of #111587 (with the previous commit: Fixes#111587)
Slim follow-up to the salvaged #111790: the helper becomes a list-returning
sibling of _managed_runtime_path_entries (same shape, same "only when it
exists" convention) and loses the Windows check the caller already performs.
Why here and not in the Electron remote spawn: propagating the login-shell PATH
that locateHermes discovered into `exec env HERMES_DESKTOP=1 … hermes serve`
would fix only the Desktop SSH surface; the terminal environment's PATH
completion is the seam every thin-PATH launcher (SSH, systemd, launchd, cron)
already goes through, so the class closes once. Windows twin out of scope.
Tests move to the mirror dir tests/tools/environments/ with an absent-dir
control; FAQ documents the terminal PATH composition.
Fixes#111778
Real-profile browsing and cron's per-job toolsets are both documented, but
nothing connected them: browser.md never mentioned scheduled runs and cron.md
never mentioned login state, so the constraints of driving a login-gated site
from a cron job were only discoverable in source.
Adds a Scheduled and unattended runs subsection to the real-profile section:
the browser.use_real_profile prerequisite (off by default), the credentials a
login form or a fresh 2FA challenge needs saved ahead of time, the auth re-sync
behaviour and its Windows consequence. Plus a pointer from cron.md's toolset
section.
The zsh login-shell legs in remote-lifecycle.test.ts and
ssh-connection.test.ts silently returned when zsh was missing, and the
js-tests runner image ships no zsh, so the #111949 coverage never ran on
CI and a wrapper regression stayed green.
- js-tests.yml: install zsh on the Linux runner before the checks.
- Both legs now report vitest skips ('zsh not installed') instead of
passing; the ssh-connection leg is its own test so the skip is visible.
- Docs: note the zsh degraded mode (no process-group kill for a hung
probe's grandchildren) in the SSH connection guide.
When a gateway approval wait ends without anyone answering — the parent's
delegate_task finishing and tearing the child down, a /stop, or the turn's
notifier being unregistered at turn end — the tool result said
"BLOCKED: Command denied by user" (outcome="denied", user_summary "You denied
this command"). The user never saw or answered the prompt, so the parent agent
went on reasoning about a refusal that never happened (#112026, #22992).
The action stays fail-closed (the command does not run, the model still gets
the NOT-consented stop text), but the attribution is now truthful:
- tools/approval_gateway_wait.py: `_cancel_cause()` reads the existing
per-thread interrupt-cause channel (`get_interrupt_reason()`, a trusted fixed
category — no string matching) for the interrupted state and marks a
notifier-unregister wake (event set, result None) as "the turn ended before
the prompt was answered". Both the direct and the coalesced-follower wait
return `cancelled=<cause>`; the post_approval_response hook fires
choice="cancelled" instead of "deny"/"timeout".
- tools/approval.py: a cancelled decision renders
"BLOCKED: Command approval was withdrawn before the user answered (<cause>)."
with outcome="cancelled" and its own user_summary; an explicit /deny is
untouched.
- tools/delegate_tool_child_run.py: `_signal_child_stop` publishes a fixed
tool_reason ("parent delegation ended"; the late-child mirror forwards the
parent's own category) so a child's pending approval can tell teardown from a
user /stop — previously it rode the default "explicit stop requested".
- tools/file_tools_write_guards.py / tools/approval_prompt.py: the protected
instruction-file gate and MCP elicitation consume the same key instead of
reporting "denied by the user" / "decline".

Follow-up to the cherry-picked gateway fix: instead of re-inferring "keyless
mode" from the key env var (wrong for Firecrawl, whose managed-gateway and
self-hosted routes bypass the ring without a key), `_rescue_eligible` asks the
ring vendor's own predicate — `_use_keyless_ring()` for Firecrawl, `use_keyless`
for the others. That covers the persisted `nous` selection the contributor fix
handled AND the legacy never-configured fallback onto a ready gateway, plus
`FIRECRAWL_API_URL`. A ring vendor that actually walked the ring stays
ineligible (its failure means the ring already failed). Docs mention the
gateway route is rescued.
Follow-up to the cherry-picked "cache extracts by returned URL": Keenable and
Firecrawl report the post-redirect address in `url` and the REQUESTED URL in
`metadata.sourceURL`, so matching on `url` alone left every redirected page
uncached. Accept either field, as long as it names a URL from this batch;
anything else is served but never cached (a miss re-fetches, a mis-key poisons
the cache for the whole TTL). Docs: say the cache key is the requested URL the
provider reports, not the batch position.

Slims the salvaged preview helper (drop the try/except around json.dumps —
default=str cannot raise on tool results) and documents the tool.completed
SSE shape. Adds the control test that the multimodal envelope dict is still
classified as a success, so the dict passthrough only widens the failure
detection to real structured results.
The idea of carrying the tool result on tool.completed for /v1/runs
consumers was first proposed in #22362; that PR's executor half
(result=function_result) is already on main, and its wire half is landed
here in redacted, bounded form instead of the raw payload.

Setting NVIDIA_API_KEY_2 next to NVIDIA_API_KEY is now the whole opt-in
for a second pooled key: _seed_from_env tries VAR_2, VAR_3, … for every
declared var until the first gap, on the generic registry path and the
openrouter branch alike. Secrets stay in the env / secret manager; only
the reference row is persisted. Resolves#76593; supersedes the config-key
approach of #87835.
reap_terminal_workers signalled any retained worker on the first tick after
its run closed, but a healthy worker is still alive for a moment after
kanban_complete / kanban_request_review returns (final assistant turn,
session persistence), so slow-but-healthy workers were killed mid-finalisation
and logged as terminal_worker_reaped. Reap only runs whose ended_at is at
least TERMINAL_WORKER_REAP_GRACE_SECONDS (120 s, two default ticks) old;
the fingerprint check is unchanged. Each row is now handled on its own so a
signal or /proc failure on one run is logged and skips only that run.
Tests: a just-closed run is not signalled and keeps its evidence, then is
reaped once the grace has passed (red before); one raising row no longer
aborts the sweep for the others (red before).
A worker that called kanban_complete and then hung (e.g. holding deleted
state.db-wal/-shm inodes, which trips the DeletedWalGenerationError guard on
every later write) was unreachable by any command: the terminal transition
cleared tasks.worker_pid, _end_run cleared task_runs.worker_pid too, and every
reclaim sweep only looks at status='running' cards (#111791).
Keep the evidence and add the consumer: task_runs gains worker_started_at (the
spawn-time fingerprint tasks already carry), _set_worker_pid stamps it, and
_end_run leaves worker_pid / worker_started_at / claim_lock on the closed row.
reap_terminal_workers runs in the dispatcher's reclaim phase (every tick and
`hermes kanban dispatch --once`): a host-local pid on a closed run that is
still the fingerprinted process is terminated through the existing
_terminate_reclaimed_worker (SIGTERM, then SIGKILL after the poll window) and
recorded as a terminal_worker_reaped event; a pid that is gone or recycled
only has its evidence cleared; legacy rows without a fingerprint are never
signalled.
Slimmer redo of PR #111798 by @KoNit-K: same schema + retention shape, but the
reaper reuses _worker_alive / _terminate_reclaimed_worker(started_at=) instead
of a second start-time reader and a guarded-kill closure, scans every closed
run instead of a task-status allowlist, and clears dead evidence so rows are
not rescanned forever.
Fixes#111791
complete_task authorised a terminal transition by task status alone; the
`current_run_id = ?` fence only applied when the caller volunteered
expected_run_id (derived from HERMES_KANBAN_* env). A human at the CLI, an
orchestrator session or any env-less caller therefore marked a `running`
card done and _end_run closed the dispatcher worker's run row while that
worker kept executing (#111764).
Mirror the fence request_review already carries: a `running` task under a
live claim needs expected_run_id (worker ownership) or force=True (explicit
operator override), otherwise LiveClaimError. `hermes kanban complete
--force` and the dashboard's "mark done" (a human action) carry the override;
the kanban_complete tool reports a structured refusal. Completing `ready`,
`blocked` or `review` cards without a claim is unchanged, so the manual /
orchestrator flows PR #73188 pinned keep working.
Fixes#111764
`hermes kanban dispatch` (plain output), the standalone daemon's stuck warning
and the gateway's embedded dispatcher stuck warning all reported a bare
`Spawned: 0` / "0 workers spawned" while the respawn guard held every ready
card — the reason existed only as a `respawn_guarded` task event visible via
`hermes kanban tail`. Operators watching the gateway health warning for 73+
ticks (#111910) had nothing to act on.
- `kanban_db_dispatch.describe_suppression()` renders the guard reasons per
task plus rate_limited / skipped_locked / memory_pressure for one or more
DispatchResults, so the CLI daemon and gateway warnings share one wording:
`Last tick held back: active_pr=1, memory_pressure=elevated.`
- plain `dispatch` output prints `Guarded (<reason>): <task id>` and the
tick-level holds, mirroring the JSON fields.
- kanban docs: how to see why a ready card is not spawning.
