Move the WSL / /dev/dxg / d3d12_dri.so probes into _prefer_wsl_d3d12 with
the probed paths as module constants, so the launcher call site is a single
line and a test can lay out a fake WSLg host without touching real
/dev or /usr/lib. The two tests now run the real _desktop_launch_env end to
end (selected under WSL+dxg+driver; untouched with an explicit Mesa
override, off WSL, without /dev/dxg, or without the driver file) instead of
unit-testing the helper with a precomputed boolean.
Docs: one paragraph in the Desktop guide on the automatic selection and
the env vars that keep an explicit choice authoritative.
Follow-up to Xipong's fix for #106117 (salvaged from #106118).
Fold the helper into _npm_lifecycle_env itself: the whole fix is one
is_file() check plus a setdefault, so a separate function, the
try/except around get_hermes_home() (it never raises) and the
dict-returning indirection were shape-gate violations. Build the path
with os.fspath so it is correct on Windows too.
Tests: keep the two invariants (file present -> NPM_CONFIG_USERCONFIG
points at it; explicit process/caller value wins and a missing file
sets nothing), fold the other two into the negative test.
Docs: one paragraph in the desktop troubleshooting page next to
ELECTRON_MIRROR describing $HERMES_HOME/npmrc.

- _ssl_interop_hint: also match ssl.SSLError instances (and one level of
__cause__/__context__) plus the bare UNEXPECTED_EOF marker, so an
SSLEOFError whose text httpx did not repeat still gets the hint. The
hint now names the TLS 1.2 diagnostic and links the providers docs
note instead of an issue number.
- tests: 3 -> 2 invariants (parametrized login_post/poll SSL case keeps
the raw text + hint + cause; a plain httpx timeout gets no hint).
- docs: providers.md Codex note carries the reporter's exact openssl.cnf
classic-groups snippet (EN + existing zh-Hans copy).
Refs #106384. The TLS max-version cap itself stays PR #44392's scope.
- hermes_cli/plugins_cmd_catalog.py: new sibling owning resolution, the
.hermes-catalog.json provenance sidecar, search/info/validate, re-pin on
update, and the dashboard/TUI payload builders. plugins_cmd.py only
gains the hooks (cmd_install catalog branch, cmd_update / dashboard
update re-pin, dashboard_install_plugin catalog_name + kill list,
dispatch entries); the community index (plugin_index.py) is gone.
- hermes_cli/plugin_catalog.py: catalog_dir parameter replaces the
test-only HERMES_PLUGIN_CATALOG_DIR env var; live refresh reads ONE
published document (/docs/api/plugin-catalog.json, 6h cache, in-tree
fallback) instead of the unauthenticated GitHub contents API (60 req/h,
1 request per entry); in-tree and live removals are unioned so a stale
cache can never un-block.
- Catalog route lives in web_routers/dashboard_ui.py (the facade is off
limits); _plugin_runtime_status shared from web_server_dashboard.py;
hub rows carry removed_reason. TUI plugins.manage gains catalog_name
install, catalog row fields and an update action.
- plugin_validate: the probe context honours ctx.get_config defaults
(real plugins do int(ctx.get_config("timeout", 180)) in register()).
- Installed-state merge matches through the sidecar's catalog_name
first — catalog names rarely equal manifest names.
- extract-plugins.py emits plugin-catalog.json; deploy-site triggers on
plugin-catalog/** so entry merges republish it.
The user guide said an unpinned job "fails closed" on a global model change
and documented cron.model_drift_guard; both are gone. It now explains that the
job keeps running on its creation snapshot and how to move it (per-job pin or
cron.model).
Cron jobs are scheduled work bound to the source profile and its origin
channel. A clone that inherited cron/jobs.json fired every job twice: two
gateways with identical job ids running the same weekly jobs in parallel
(double spend, duplicate deliveries) until one gateway died.
Root cause: `cron` was not in _CLONE_ALL_HISTORY_EXCLUDE_ROOT, so the
copytree in _clone_all_into carried jobs.json along. Add it to the
per-profile history exclude set (applies to any source, CLI, dashboard
and TUI/desktop RPC all funnel through create_profile), recreate the
_PROFILE_DIRS skeleton after the copy so the clone still has an empty
cron/ (and sessions/), and say so in the CLI summary line and docs.
--clone (config-only) never copied cron; export/backup keep cron as
before (an archive is a portable snapshot, not a second live profile).
Python plugin CLI/loader/web/tui files taken from main wholesale; the
catalog layer is re-ported onto main's decomposed shapes in the
following commits. plugin_index.py removed (catalog is the sole
discovery system).
Four writers each dropped their own uniquely-named copy of config.yaml next to
the real file and none of them ever deleted anything: hermes setup
(config.yaml.bak.YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS, one per run even with no change), the
corrupt-YAML snapshot (config.yaml.corrupt.<ts>.bak), hermes migrate xai
(config.yaml.bak-pre-migrate-xai-<ts>) and the Docker boot migration
(config.yaml.bak-<ts>, .env.bak-<ts>). A home dir accumulated a dozen variants
with no way to tell which mattered.
hermes_cli/config_backups.py::backup_config is now the single writer:
backups/config/config.yaml.<reason>.<YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS>, skipped when the newest
copy for that reason is byte-identical, rotated to the newest five per reason.
backups/ is already excluded from full backups so nothing nests. Legacy
siblings written by the old schemes are moved into the dir on first use;
hand-named copies (config.yaml.bak-my-note) are left alone.
Live: three `hermes setup --non-interactive` runs against an unchanged config
went from three .bak files in HERMES_HOME to one pre-setup copy under
backups/config/; repeated loads of broken YAML produce one corrupt copy
instead of one per process (deduped by content).
The ledger in verification_evidence.db exists only to feed the verify-on-stop
guard, but the recorder kept running on every foreground terminal command and
every file edit after #53552 turned the guard off by default. Users who never
opted in still accumulated a multi-MB database (7 MB / 4.6k rows on one install).
Every ledger entry point (record_terminal_result, record_verify_run,
mark_workspace_edited, verification_status) now checks verify_on_stop_enabled()
first and returns without opening or creating the database when the guard is
off. verification_status reports {"status": "disabled"} in that case; no client
consumes the verification.status RPC yet, so nothing downstream changes.
Existing ledger tests pin HERMES_VERIFY_ON_STOP=1 since they exercise the ledger
itself; the new test proves the off path never creates the file (red on base).
Move the six surface-switch helpers out of the conversation_loop facade
into agent/surface_switch.py (AGENTS.md: new behaviour goes in a topical
sibling), and fold the review findings on #104494:
- MoA and codex_app_server turns never stamp the api_content sidecar, so
the staged note could not be read back from the transcript and was
re-sent on every turn after a switch. Those modes now skip the note
(stored prompt still reused).
- The announced surface was parsed with split(".") — a plugin platform
with a dot in its name would never compare equal and re-stage the note
every turn. The note now closes the name with a fixed terminator.
- One identity-line parser (identity_line_value) shared by
_stored_prompt_matches_runtime and the switch detector instead of two
copies of the runtime-boundary/rpartition logic; tool names via the
existing tools.mcp_tool_agent._def_name; the transcript scan is bounded
to the last 200 rows (it ran every turn over the whole history).
- consume_surface_switch_note reduced to a plain pop; developer-guide
prompt-assembly.md updated (Platform is no longer an identity field);
17 new tests trimmed to 10 (same-shape pin/retire variants folded).
Restoring Platform as an identity field still turns 5 tests red.
Port Adolanium's focused-turn pose from Hermes-Bot-Mode#101 and
hermes-agent#88134 to the current typed Bot Mode implementation.
Match the busy signal's connection-qualified focused owner rather than
the gateway socket, retain worker activity, and ease transitions in
elapsed time on the existing shared face clock.
Includes owner-isolation and animated-pose invariants, both proven red
on origin/main, and native Electron before/after verification against
a real temporary Hermes backend with held loopback inference.

Add Move up/down controls for actual rooms without changing bot or folder
ordering. Preserve default pin/activity ordering until an explicit move,
retain hidden room slots, and persist Desktop-local order through room
updates, mirror merges, and hydration. No membership or routing writes.
Adapted narrowly from the group ordering idea in archived
NousResearch/Hermes-Bot-Mode#105 by @onuraycicek; rename already exists.

Lowering the session trigger must not replace the window-relative lean
selection budget with threshold times target_ratio. Invalidate the lean
cache through the existing property while preserving explicit legacy and
external-engine fallback behavior.
Narrow adaptation of the aux-sync diagnosis and invariants in #93576,
without adding a required recalibration method to context engines.

Complete the PR #101452 salvage, preserving sprmn24 authorship. Credit @kokhlo PR #101591 for independently diagnosing the in-flight rename race; use scoped authoritative room bindings rather than persistent aliases. Keep mention attention independent and retire late work after disband.
Each fix verified against main @ ee84ccd on 2026-09-08.
- windows-native: the troubleshooting entry told users to set HERMES_GATEWAY_FORCE_STARTUP (no code reads it), query a task named HermesGateway (hermes_cli/gateway_windows.py names it Hermes_Gateway), and described the Startup-folder fallback as a cmd.exe shortcut (it writes a .vbs run via wscript.exe). Closes#88077.
- faq: 'hermes config set HERMES_MODEL ...' does not change the default model; 'model.default' does. Closes#65855.
- messaging/index, slash-commands, irc: gateway settings are read from ~/.hermes/config.yaml (gateway/config.py), not gateway-config.yaml. Closes#65857, closes#78276.
- telegram: reaction lifecycle is 👀 then 👍/👎 (plugins/platforms/telegram/adapter.py on_processing_complete), docs said ✅/❌. Closes#78698.
- plugins: bundled memory providers win on a name collision (plugins/memory/__init__.py docstring: bundled, user, project, entry point, first seen wins); the page said user plugins override. Model providers keep the documented last-writer-wins. Closes#100281.
- architecture, index: terminal backend count is seven (tools/terminal_tool.py: local, docker, singularity, modal, daytona, vercel_sandbox, ssh); two surfaces said six. Closes#78252.
- quickstart: the Portal quick path was called 'free'; the login is free, the inference is billed to the subscription. Wording now matches integrations/nous-portal. Closes#78254.
Since v2026.8.31 (#99007 gateway-owned room authority, #99047 replica takeover, #99099 gateway-side turn driver) a room whose members all live on one gateway continues without any Desktop attached. The Bot Mode page carries the cross-machine and replication beats but never states this durability, so readers still assume the Desktop drives the room. Adds one bullet under Groups and group chats; groups.capabilities.driver flag per tui_gateway/methods_groups.py.
hermes mcp login --flow device (RFC 8628, #104891, v2026.9.7) is documented on reference/mcp-config-reference but the user-guide MCP page, where people land when the loopback callback cannot reach their browser, still lists only Desktop relay, paste-back, SSH forward and proxied redirect_uri. Adds one bullet with a link to the reference section.
The code-execution page describes project vs strict mode, the minimal environment and the RPC channel, but never mentions that execute_code calls share a persistent per-session kernel (tools/code_kernel.py), that a timeout kills the kernel, that reset=true exists, or that stdout beyond 50 KB is spilled to cache/exec with the path returned (tools/code_execution_tool.py). Defaults from hermes_cli/config_defaults.py (kernel_idle_timeout 1800, max_session_kernels 4). Remote-backend kernel and fail-open per-call fallback from tools/code_kernel_remote.py.
The Automatic Cleanup section on the same page states that sessions.auto_prune is on by default (since #54189, default flipped to True in hermes_cli/config_defaults.py), while the tip box under the prune commands still said "auto-prune ships disabled. Enable it if...". A reader gets two answers from one page. Rewrites the tip to the shipped default and shows how to turn it off.
The delegation page and the delegation-patterns guide still stated the pre-v2026.8.31 defaults (50 iterations, 3 concurrent subagents). Shipped values: DEFAULT_MAX_ITERATIONS = 250 (tools/delegate_tool.py) and max_concurrent_children: 10 (hermes_cli/config_defaults.py). The per-task output_schema contract (one bounded correction retry, schema_valid / schema_errors on the result) was not documented anywhere on the page. The Max Iterations section also showed max_iterations as a per-call argument; delegate_task ignores caller-supplied values and reads delegation.max_iterations from config.
Preserve Ben Barclay's diagnosis and replace the staging-file approach with
SQLite-coordinated writes and a five-second backup callback deadline. A
main-file replacement can replay an abandoned destination WAL; immutable
source reads can miss committed source WAL. Neither raw copy nor replacement
is safe when the destination is locked.
Refuse unavailable auth databases without raw-copy fallback, retaining the
existing close-browser-and-retry flow. Keep two invariant tests for lock
refusal/recovery and source-versus-destination WAL contents. Convert existing
text masquerading as database fixtures into real SQLite fixtures.

Complete the type-array normalization salvaged from #55643: stringify mixed
union enum metadata, preserve existing anyOf constraints, and keep array
items and object properties/required on the corresponding typed branches.
Exercise real native request serialization over loopback and Google SDK
validation with a scalar control; no live Google credentials were available.
Route local producers to durable owner ingress before attempting the unowned
CLI lane. Preserve per-run/per-message IDs and receipt-first retry handling;
never fall back after ambiguous admission. Report cron admission as queued,
not completed or failed, in job status, the execution ledger and CLI/tool UX.
Native isolated Electron validation reproduces SESSION_NOT_OWNED on main for
both idle and busy owners. Fixed owner consumes idle cron, busy cron, local
DM and mounted-chat cron exactly once, keeps its lease, yields to queued
human input, and preserves the prior model-request prefix and tool schema.
Inference alone used a deterministic loopback wire stub; no paid model call.
Adapt the command-position, bounded-candidate and launcher-option work from
embwl0x's #76063 to the current detection owner, then add executable basename
projection from Rohith Pariki's #104338. Parse raw quote state before applying
existing text normalization so quoted arguments do not become commands.
Cover shell payloads and literal env split-string carriers, retain path-specific
rules and whole-command globs, and document the supported normalization rather
than claiming an OS capability sandbox. Related: #104308, #76037, #76063,
#104338, #78521, #86711. No automatic closing directives: the older carriers
also contain broader case syntax and git-option work not included here.
