MiniMax Code CLI 0.3.1 added a status-line segment showing the git branch
for the current workspace. Hermes' status bar had no repo-awareness field.
Adds `git_branch` to display.status_bar.fields (opt-in only — the default
set never probes the filesystem). Reads .git/HEAD directly with a 5s
per-directory TTL cache (no subprocess per repaint); follows gitdir:
pointer files so worktrees/submodules resolve their private HEAD; a
detached HEAD renders the abbreviated commit.
Inspired by MiniMax Code CLI 0.3.1 changelog (agent.minimax.io/docs/changelog).
Port of https://github.com/achimala/dream-loop (MIT, 400+ stars in 48h).
An autonomous loop for building visually impressive 3D scenes/games:
generate photorealistic concept art, build (three.js/WebGL/Blender),
screenshot the live build, judge screenshot-vs-concept on a 5-tier score
ladder, iterate to convergence with explicit exit criteria.
Prose-only port rebound to Hermes-native tools: image_generate for
concept art, vision_analyze for judging (side-by-side composite
workaround documented), browser_exec capture_screenshot for live builds,
delegate_task for parallel asset work. Upstream ladder, failure modes,
time-budget and exit rules preserved. optional-skills/ placement.
Port from cline/cline#13827: foreign-session discovery hardcoded
~/.claude/projects and ~/.codex/sessions, so Claude Code installs using
CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR and Codex CLI installs using CODEX_HOME (both official
relocation vars the tools themselves honor, and which hermes_cli/auth_codex.py
already reads for credentials) silently found nothing to import.
_default_root() resolves each source's store from its env var, treating a
blank/whitespace value as unset so an empty override can never resolve to a
CWD-relative "projects" path. The _SOURCES tuple gained the env fields; the
browser sibling now reads the parser through the _parser() accessor instead
of a positional index that the wider tuple would have silently broken.
Live E2E: env-rooted Claude + Codex sessions discovered, imported, and
resumed; blank override falls back to ~; docs updated.
A community deep-dive found that running one never-ending gateway session for weeks means memory injection, session_search, and pre-reset distillation almost never fire, while token cost grows. Sessions doc stated conversations never expire but never explained why users should still create boundaries. Adds a Session hygiene subsection with the mechanism and a practical rule.
A provider whose backend keeps the response open without finishing (hanging
HTTP server, stuck SDK call) stalled the web_extract tool call — and with a
sync provider, the borrowed thread — indefinitely. The dispatch in
tools/web_tools_extract._dispatch_extract now runs under asyncio.wait_for with
web.extract_timeout (config.yaml, default 120s; 0 disables). On timeout the
tool returns structured per-URL error entries, and the one-shot keyless rescue
still gets its chance when eligible.
Salvaged from PR #57180 by @liuhao1024 (base predated the web_tools
decomposition; re-applied at the _dispatch_extract seam, env-var timeout
replaced with the web.* config section per the .env-is-for-secrets rule, and
the timeout path made rescue-aware).
Inspired by Claude Code 2.1.268: "Fixed WebFetch hanging indefinitely on a
server that keeps the response open without finishing; a fetch now fails
after 300 seconds."

Ports the system-atlas agent skill: one data.mjs file renders both an
interactive isometric HTML map (progressive-disclosure chapters, moving
data packets, question tracking by Q-ID) and a generated text twin
(SYSTEM.md) for the repo.
Why: architecture discussions that outgrow a single diagram — the skill
encodes hard-earned rules (max 3 structures per chapter, shapes+labels,
docs-policy ask before committing). Upstream 410 stars since Aug 20,

A community write-up showed a real usage pattern: running Hermes on a messaging gateway for weeks without ever issuing /new. The memory docs never said that the recall loop (MEMORY.md/USER.md snapshot + session_search) only fires at session boundaries, and that gateway chats are intentionally one continuous session across restarts. Add a section spelling out why boundaries matter and recommending /new at natural break points, cross-linked to the session-continuity docs.
Ports the pr-lens agent skill: represent a diff or subsystem as one

`hermes config set gateway.multiplex_profiles true` warned "not a recognized
config key" although gateway/config.py reads it: the key (and profile_routes)
were never in DEFAULT_CONFIG["gateway"]. Both are registered with their doc
comment; the CLI loaders deep-merge new keys, so no _config_version bump.
`hermes gateway migrate --multiplex` with two or more profiles but no
secondary running its own gateway printed "nothing to migrate" and left the
flag OFF. The explicit command now applies the one remaining step — flag on,
default gateway (re)started, the same rollback manifest (empty secondaries)
for --standalone. `hermes update`'s automatic hook keeps treating that case
as a no-op: it never flips modes on an install where nothing was running.
A cloned profile carried the source's TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN, DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN,
allowlists, WHATSAPP_ENABLED, API_SERVER_KEY and the platforms:/telegram:/
discord: config sections byte-for-byte. Standalone, that made two gateways
fight over one bot's long-poll; under multiplex it blocked
`hermes gateway migrate --multiplex` with one duplicate-credential finding
per platform per clone (18 on a real 10-profile install).
Every clone entry point (CLI --clone/--clone-from/--clone-all, dashboard
POST /api/profiles, TUI/Desktop profiles.create incl. its mirror_credentials
.env copy) now strips channel settings after the copy. The key set is derived
from the adapters — Platform enum + plugin registry (required_env,
allowed_users_env, allow_all_env, cron_deliver_env_var), the gateway env table
(gateway.config_env._ENV_STEPS / _ENV_ENABLE_CREDENTIALS) and each platform's
env prefix — so a new adapter is covered without a hand list. --clone-all also
drops pairing/WhatsApp-session/gateway ledgers. Provider and tool keys, the
model block, memory, skills and SOUL.md are untouched.
`--clone-channels` (REST/RPC: clone_channels) keeps them; it is refused when a
live multiplexer already serves the source and otherwise warns which
platforms are now shared. `hermes profile list` prints the same warning for
existing clones whose bot credential is byte-identical to the default's.
The dashboard's per-platform env-prefix table moves into profile_channels so
Channels-page cards and the clone stripper share one definition.
The in-process last-known-good (the codex#31188 port) only protects a
long-running gateway. A CLI restart or `hermes config get` against broken
YAML fell through to DEFAULT_CONFIG and silently dropped every override,
including approvals.deny (#102945).
Every successful parse now leaves a `good` copy in backups/config/ through
the existing bounded, byte-deduped backup_config(); the fallback reads the
newest one, runs it through the normal canonicalize/expand/managed-overlay
pipeline, and says so on stderr. The broken config.yaml is never modified.
The backup is the raw file, so ${VAR} templates stay templates on disk.
Redo of #61796 (which added a config.validated.yaml sibling and
re-validated the whole config on every load) on top of the backups/config/
ruling from bf53ff00a7.
The salvaged #103267 plugin hardcoded a single model (minimax/hailuo-3-max) and
rejected any other id. OpenRouter's public GET /api/v1/videos/models already
publishes every generative model with its supported durations, resolutions,
aspect ratios, frame-image support, audio and seed flags, and pricing SKUs, so
the provider now reads that catalog (5-min TTL, offline snapshot fallback):
- list_models(): all 25+ generative models (edit/upscale/avatar rows that take
no duration are outside the unified video_generate surface and are dropped)
with a per-second price label where the SKU is per-second
- capabilities(): the CONFIGURED model's surface, so the dynamic schema only
advertises audio/seed/resolutions the selected model honours
- _build_payload(): clamps duration/resolution/aspect ratio to the model's
live limits (nearest by value/height/ratio) and drops generate_audio/seed
for models that lack them (the API 400s otherwise); reference images ride
in input_references; local file inputs are refused (OpenRouter fetches
URLs itself), data:image/ URLs from the sandbox chokepoint pass through
- bearer key only ever goes to the configured origin (poll + /content),
never to a provider-supplied unsigned_urls host (kept from #103267)
Also drops the source-grep `_IGNORES_SEED` escape hatch #103267 added to the
declaration⇄implementation sweep; the provider now implements seed for real.
Docs list OpenRouter and DeepInfra as bundled video backends.
Requested by Don Piedro Savastano (Discord): OpenRouter credit for video_generate.
Under gateway.multiplex_profiles a secondary's api_server and webhook are never built as
adapters (run_adapters skips SHARED_LISTENER_MIRROR_PLATFORMS: the default's listener answers
/p/<profile>/...). The multiplexer record therefore has no `<profile>:api_server` entry,
profile_platforms_from_multiplexer() returned {} for them and both /api/messaging/platforms
and /api/status?profile= fell through to `pending_restart`: the Desktop Messaging card and
Command Center said "Restart needed" forever for a platform that was answering.
- gateway.status.shared_listener_mirror_platforms projects the default's LIVE api_server /
webhook entry onto every served secondary with `ingress_url` = `<listener>/p/<profile>/v1`
(`.../webhooks/<route>`); a dead default listener is not mirrored. The api_server / webhook
adapters stamp the listener they actually bound (`listener_base`) on connect so the URL is
the real one, not a config guess. `hermes status` lists those URLs beside the other
shared-ingress platforms.
- /api/status?profile= reports `gateway_shared_with` (every profile the multiplexer carries)
when the served rung answered; null for a standalone gateway.
- Desktop: the messaging card shows the URL line; "Restart gateway" from a served profile
(statusbar menu, Cmd+K, messaging/webhooks banners, Command Center) confirms "Restart the
shared gateway? All bots on this device reconnect: default, alpha, beta" (Restart all /
Cancel) and toasts "Shared gateway restarted (3 bots)". Standalone keeps the silent path.
- Dashboard: same confirm + toast on the System page and the sidebar restart; the 409 from
start/stop on a served profile renders as an inline notice instead of a raw error toast.
Follow-up to the cherry-picked #102431 fix, addressing the review findings:
- The two real-helper scheduler tests ran the Linux-only helper unmarked
and failed on macOS/Windows; the surviving one is now `linux_only`.
- `_warn_scope_degraded_once` used a bare `os.getuid()` that tripped
scripts/check-windows-footguns.py --all (lint lane red). The remedy text
is now built once in the helper and passed into the warning, so the
"scope binary vanished" case no longer warns about a missing D-Bus.
- Tests trimmed to the invariant bar: degraded != in_process and warns
once (helper level); default config still Popens externally and
`require_restart_safe_scope: true` raises (scheduler level, real helper).
Dropped the stubbed duplicate, the standalone config-raise test and the
in_process half already covered by the existing passthrough test.
- `GatewayChildDispatch.reason` had no reader outside a test; removed.
- Both degrade branches share one local `_degrade(detail)`.
- The per-fire config read uses `load_config_readonly()` (no deepcopy)
with the same `except Exception` guard as the sibling
`failure_nudge_threshold` read, so a config error no longer escapes
the launcher.
- Kanban's no-run-id guard fails closed for any non-`in_process` mode
instead of matching one enum value.
- Rationale restated in six places collapsed to the helper docstring;
`cron.require_restart_safe_scope` documented in the cron user guide.
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).
The profiles guide promised "fresh sessions and memory" while
_CLONE_SUBDIR_FILES deliberately copies memories/MEMORY.md and USER.md
(curated identity, same tier as SOUL.md). State the real behaviour and how
to get a blank memory, so #10376's first half stops surprising people.

Drop the categorical 'missing any step always means 200340' and
'200672/673 necessarily is an adapter bug' claims; the Interactive Card
toggle's role is unverified. Bring the Chinese guide in line (it still
pointed at the Event tab). Review follow-up.
Six issues (#10251, #10073, #13924, #38305, #25886, #8246) and four PRs
proposed json.dumps()-ing CallBackCard.data. The lark_oapi SDK types
`data` as Any and marshals the whole response with JSON.marshal(), so a
dict already reaches Feishu as the nested object the card-callback doc
shows in its response example; a string would nest a JSON *string* there
instead. Feishu documents 200340 as "the application has not configured
the card callback address or the configured request address is invalid"
— the click is rejected before delivery (nothing reaches Hermes), which
matches the reports (no gateway log, all four buttons identical).
The docs told users to subscribe to `card.action.trigger` under Event
Subscriptions; it lives under the separate Callback Configuration tab and
needs its own long-connection/URL mode and a published app version.
Spell out the four steps and map the sibling codes (200342/200343 =
unreachable URL; 200672/200673 = our payload).

Every start (and every `ensure_hermes_home` from a sibling CLI invocation)
chmod'd the data directory to 0700, wiping group/other bits and the ACL
mask on a bind mount shared with other containers (hermes-webui, Nix
desktop + dashboard). _secure_file already skipped containers for this
reason; _secure_dir did not.
In a container the directory mode is now left to the operator unless
HERMES_HOME_MODE is set explicitly, which is still applied. cron/jobs.py
had its own 0700/0600 copies that bypassed the managed/container rules;
they now delegate to the shared helpers so cron/output stops re-locking
the mount as well.
Fixes#10757
`platforms.webhook.port: 9100` (and `routes`, `secret`, api_server `key`/
`cors_origins`, any adapter setting) was silently dropped unless nested
under `extra:` — PlatformConfig.from_dict only read a fixed set of typed
fields. Two partial bridges (a per-platform port/host/secret table in the
loader and an api_server-only block) covered a few keys and had to be
extended for every new one.
from_dict now promotes every non-typed top-level key into `extra`, with an
explicit `extra:` value winning on a clash and typed fields never leaking
into `extra` on a to_dict/from_dict roundtrip. Both hand-written bridges
are removed.
Same direction as PRs #10208/#10211/#10453 (rainow's #10206 diagnosis) and
#20506; those targeted the pre-loader layout.
Fixes#10206
The salvaged paragraph described one mechanism that is actually two.
Per developer.chrome.com/blog/remote-debugging-port, Chrome 136+ simply
stops respecting --remote-debugging-port/--remote-debugging-pipe against
the default data dir — no dialog, nothing listens. The "Allow remote
debugging?" prompt the contributor saw is the separate Chrome 144+ opt-in
approval flow (chrome://inspect/#remote-debugging), which asks per
incoming connection, not per launch. Say so, cite both sources, and keep
the fix (non-default --user-data-dir, or use_real_profile) unchanged.
The `/browser connect` tip said Chrome 136+ "silently refuse[s] to open the
remote debugging port" on the default user-data-dir and that "there is no error
message". Chrome does surface it: on Chrome 152/macOS, launching the default
profile with --remote-debugging-port puts up an "Allow remote debugging?" dialog,
and the port opens once you press Allow. Port 9222 refusing connections is the
symptom while that consent is pending, not a permanent silent block.
Two details this cost time to rediscover, now written down:
- the consent is asked per launch, so it reappears on every browser restart
- the remote-debugging toggle in chrome://settings does not suppress it; that
toggle only makes the feature available
Also cross-references browser.use_real_profile for the case the tip leaves
unanswered — wanting existing logins in the agent's browser. A dedicated
user-data-dir avoids the dialog but starts signed out; the real-profile snapshot
gets both, since the snapshot copy is itself a non-default user-data-dir.
Verified locally: default profile + --remote-debugging-port=9222 shows the
dialog and leaves 9222 closed, while a --user-data-dir launch answers
/json/version in under a second with no prompt.

Every inline glyph — CLI banner/status bar/response labels/goodbye, setup
and doctor boxes, gateway update prompts, WhatsApp reply prefix, TUI theme,
locale strings and the docs — used ⚕, the staff of Asclepius (medicine).
Hermes carries the Caduceus ☤. The ASCII-art logo was already correct.
Mechanical swap across 60 files (no logic change); both glyphs are
East-Asian-width Neutral so no layout shifts. Skins that set their own
`response_label` / `goodbye` are unaffected.

Excluding cache/ wholesale at profile roots dropped media the gateway
delivered to or received from the user (cache/images, audio, videos,
documents, screenshots) and the grounded-citations evidence ledger
(cache/citations/ledger.json) — none of which can be regenerated.
Prune only the regenerable cache/<x> subtrees; keep those six.
The picked test bound an AF_UNIX socket at pytest's tmp_path, which overflows
the ~108-byte sun_path limit under scripts/run_tests.sh's deep temp root
("AF_UNIX path too long"). Bind by a relative name from inside the temp
HERMES_HOME instead; the walker still sees the same absolute entry.
Also list cache/ + runtime roots and non-regular entries in the `hermes backup`
"What's excluded" docs so the user-visible behaviour change is documented.
DEFAULT_CONFIG ships a root-level `personalities: {}` (from #643) and the schema
whitelists it, but the single personality resolver read only
`agent.personalities`. A user who followed the generated config saw
"No personalities configured" from /personality on CLI, gateway and TUI.
`available_personalities()` now merges root `personalities` then
`agent.personalities` (later wins), so all three consumers pick both up.
Earlier attempt: PR #9657 (@flobo3) patched the CLI loader only.
Fixes#9636
~480 scientific research skills become searchable/installable through the Skills Hub
with nothing vendored: K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills (165, MIT) and
synthetic-sciences/openscience (314 across 17 category paths, Apache-2.0).
A new optional tap-level `bucket` key stamps extra["category"] on every skill from a
tap whose repo ships no skills.sh.json grouping, so several repos surface as one hub
category; a sidecar grouping still wins when present. Both repos stay at community
trust (not in TRUSTED_REPOS) so the guard scans every install.
Re-grafted from #60559 onto the post-split tools/skills_hub_github.py.
Snyk lands as a standalone Agent Plugins v1 package
(NousResearch/hermes-plugin-snyk, pinned 2a41a07f) instead of an
optional-mcps entry: the package carries the pinned `npx -y snyk@1.1306.0
mcp` stdio launch with CLI analytics disabled AND the workflow skill that
tells the agent when to use which scanner, so a single `hermes plugins
install snyk` gives both the tools and the playbook. Third-party product
integrations ship outside the core tree per the contribution rubric.
Supersedes the optional-mcps manifest from #73860 (same pin, same
telemetry posture, tool-pruning rationale moved into the skill).
A skill nobody has loaded in a month is prompt weight, not knowledge, and
archival is recoverable (`hermes curator restore`). Defaults move
stale 30→14 / archive 90→30; config v44 rewrites only the OLD defaults so
an explicitly customized window is preserved. `hermes curator prune`
now defaults --days to curator.archive_after_days instead of a
hardcoded 90 so the manual and automatic paths agree.
The twozero TouchDesigner integration now lives in one installable unit:
plugin-catalog/touchdesigner.yaml points at NousResearch/hermes-plugin-touchdesigner
(portable Agent Plugins v1: mcp.json registers the twozero Streamable HTTP hub, skills/
carries touchdesigner-mcp). `hermes plugins install touchdesigner` + `hermes plugins
enable td` replaces the optional skill whose setup.sh hand-wrote an mcp_servers block.
The manifest name is `td` because Hermes names portable MCP tools
mcp__agent_plugin_<name>_<hash>__<server>__<tool>; twozero's longest tool under a
`touchdesigner` namespace is 71 chars, past the 64-char provider function-name cap.
optional-skills/creative/touchdesigner-mcp and its generated docs (bundled, optional,
zh-Hans) are removed; catalog tables, sidebar and kanban-video-orchestrator references
are updated to point at the plugin. Supersedes #68607 (MCP-catalog-only approach).
Replace the 'a secondary must not enable a port-binding platform' rule with the
shared-listener contract and a per-platform URL table (Twilio, LINE, Teams,
BlueBubbles, Microsoft Graph, WhatsApp Cloud, WeCom callback, Feishu webhook), plus
the status/dashboard surfaces that print the URL.
cron-internals.md gets a 'Missed-occurrence contract' section (pre-dispatch
advance is provisional, restore once, never twice, grace, opt-out, paused never
catches up, same on standalone and multiplexed); the user guide describes the
catch-up-once behaviour above the cron.catch_up_missed opt-out; cron/AGENTS.md
lists it as a hardening invariant.
What `hermes update` does, blockers and fixes, URL change for
inbound-port profiles, the post-create restart reminder, rollback, and
the `gateway migrate` reference row.
Install with hermes skills install official/autonomous-ai-agents/dynamic-workflow.
Orchestration-campaign guidance is niche enough not to sit in every default prompt index.
Main moved under take-1: top-level delegate_task is background-forced (results
re-enter as messages; synthesizing on the same turn reads files that do not
exist yet), per-task `toolsets` is gone (children inherit the parent's set),
DELEGATE_BLOCKED_TOOLS is {delegate_task, clarify, memory, send_message,
cronjob_manage} (execute_code is NOT stripped), and the 457-char description
was truncated by the 60-char routing budget. All four bbopen review items fixed.
Adds the campaign shape learned running the 1,863-session / 19-hour
whole-codebase simplification fan-out (#102117): shared brief + exclusive
file ownership, commit-per-step as the only handoff, fleet ceiling before the
OAuth refresh stampede, per-round integration with a frozen base and a full
suite on the combined tree, `rev-list --count` per branch before declaring a
round done (168 late-slice commits were once left behind), one serialized
test runner, forward-port last, live QA as its own wave, refuting the parent's
own heuristics with the same attempt/refuter mechanic, HANDOFF.md on restart.
Frontmatter now meets the hardline standard (platforms, ≤60-char description,
modern section order); `/tmp` replaced by the terminal temp dir so the skill is
correct on Termux and Windows. Catalog + sidebar + generated page added.
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.
The multiplexing default gateway now serves default + every live named profile
under profiles/. profiles_to_serve(multiplex=True) is a pure directory read
(tombstoned profiles skipped, never mkdir); every reader — gateway served set,
/p/<profile>/ prefixes for api_server + webhook, the named-profile standalone
guard, the Desktop cron ticker (its #108428 standdown for a profile owned by a
running gateway is unchanged) — drops the allowlist parameter.
Config v43 migration deletes the key from user config.yaml; DEFAULT_CONFIG,
GatewayConfig and the top-level yaml bridge no longer carry it.
BREAKING: anyone who set an allowlist now has their excluded profiles served.
Archive or delete a profile you do not want served (Teknium approved).
Under gateway.multiplex_profiles a secondary profile's turn ran with the LAUNCH
profile's working directory, command allowlist, redact_secrets switch, credential
file mounts, browser engine/headed flags, LSP service, auxiliary-provider health
marks and MCP stderr log, and several TERMINAL_ENV consumers read the process env
instead of the routed profile's terminal scope. A standalone `hermes -p X gateway
run` never behaved that way.
- tools/terminal_scope.py: resolve the terminal.cwd placeholder inside the
profile scope with the same rule gateway/run.py applies at import (local ->
$HOME, sandbox default otherwise) so the system prompt, context files and the
terminal of a routed turn start where the profile's standalone gateway would.
- tools/image_source.py, credential_files.py, image_generation_tool.py,
skills_tool.py, delegate_tool_progress.py, agent/tool_executor.py: read
TERMINAL_ENV / TERMINAL_CWD through the terminal scope.
- tools/approval.py (+ approval_floors.py): one permanent allowlist per routed
profile home; the unscoped module set stays for single-profile processes.
- agent/redact.py: `_redact_enabled()` resolves security.redact_secrets for the
routed profile (scope .env, then config); launch snapshot kept when unscoped.
- tools/credential_files.py, agent/auxiliary_health.py, agent/lsp/__init__.py,
tools/browser_tool_cloud.py, tools/mcp_tool_config.py,
tools/tool_result_storage.py: key process caches by profile home (or bypass
the slot under an override).
Tests: tests/tools/test_multiplex_turn_parity.py (4, red on base).
Docs: multi-profile-gateways.md isolation table.
A profile served by the default multiplexer owns no gateway.pid / gateway_state.json,
so every surface that reads per-profile identity files called it stopped while the CLI
status surfaces (hermes -p X status / gateway status / cron status) said "running via the
default-profile multiplexer":
- `/api/status?profile=X` and `/api/messaging/platforms?profile=X` reported
gateway_running=false / state=None / "gateway_stopped" in the same body that listed X
under gateways[].served_profiles. The shared ladder `resolve_gateway_liveness` gains a
fourth rung for a named profile_dir: the live default multiplexer that records X in
served_profiles IS X's gateway (pid = multiplexer pid, runtime = its record, X's
`<X>:<platform>` entries re-keyed to the standalone shape).
- `POST /api/gateway/stop?profile=X` spawned `hermes -p X gateway stop`, which printed
"No gateway running for this profile" (exit 0) into the action log while the UI flipped
to stopped and the multiplexer kept serving X; `/api/gateway/restart?profile=X` spawned
a `-p X gateway restart` that only exits 78. start/stop now answer 409 with the
multiplexer explanation (one helper shared with the existing start refusal) and restart
targets the multiplexer, the process that actually serves X. A `--force`-started
separate gateway for X (own pid file) keeps normal per-profile management.
- CLI `hermes -p X gateway stop` refuses with exit 78 like run/start/install/restart when
X has no gateway of its own, instead of a contradictory exit-0 "not running".
Docs: multi-profile-gateways.md §1 and §5 describe stop + the dashboard behaviour.
`voice.voice_chat_mode: gpt-live` swaps the desktop's chained STT → turn → TTS
loop for OpenAI's gpt-live-1: one voice model that listens while it speaks and
has no tools of its own. Every real request it hears becomes a normal Hermes
turn on the open chat — any model/provider the session selected, full toolset,
memory, approvals — and the voice paraphrases the reply aloud.
Backend
- tools/voice_live.py: mode/credential/persona resolution and the one server-side
step the API needs — POST /v1/live/sessions exchanging the renderer's SDP offer,
pinned to client delegation; the OpenAI key never reaches the renderer. Voice
persona follows the vendor prompting guide (role, style, labelled delegation
policy describing Hermes as the backend). VOICE_LIVE_TURN_NOTE is the per-turn
model-input note (transcript in, speakable prose out).
- REST: GET /api/audio/voice-live/status (mode + readiness, non-secret),
POST /api/audio/voice-live/session (SDP exchange). The offer is passed
byte-exact: a stripped trailing CRLF is a vendor 400 "unmarshal SDP: EOF".
- prompt.submit accepts surface=voice-live (+ voice_context) beside hud; the
note rides the model input via the existing _prepend_note seam, the persisted
user row stays the user's words, the system prompt stays byte-stable.
- config_defaults: voice.voice_chat_mode (chained|gpt-live), voice.gpt_live.*.
Desktop
- lib/voice-live.ts: RTCPeerConnection + oai-events data channel owner, transcript
accumulation, session.commentary/thinking/instructions appends (500-token
chunking), mute, graceful close waiting for session.closed.
- hooks/use-voice-live-conversation.ts: same public shape as useVoiceConversation;
delegation → prompt.submit(surface=voice-live); tool activity → quiet thinking
appends; reply streamed back per sentence; spoken stop phrase ends the chat;
a newer delegation interrupts an in-flight turn.
- use-composer-voice mounts both engines and latches one at conversation start
from the backend-resolved status; gpt-live without a key falls back to chained
with a notice. Settings → Voice gets the mode dropdown, voice picker, persona.
Live-verified on the worktree desktop build (headless Electron, CDP, synthetic
mic): "what is 17 times 23 and which model are you on" → delegation → Hermes
(Claude Sonnet 4.5 via OpenRouter) → spoken "391 … Claude Sonnet 4.5 through
OpenRouter"; follow-up "double that" resolved from the spoken context → 782;
"run uname -r" ran the terminal tool with "Hermes is working: terminal" fed as
quiet context → spoken kernel version; "stop" closed the session
(reason=close_requested). Chained mode creates no RTCPeerConnection.
A hosted room member runs on a hidden room_plumbing session with no client
transport, so the tool.start/complete, approval.request, message.delta and
reasoning.delta frames its turn already emits bottom out at stdio and vanish.
Between turn.started and turn.settled in the durable room log a client sees a
black box, and community clients (Hermes Crew) cannot render tool cards,
approvals or live member status without inferring them from text.
One seam in write_json (plus the connector bypass in tool_progress) re-routes
those frames, stamped with the session's _hosted_room_task coordinates
(room_id, thread_id, member_id, turn_id, task_id, execution_generation), to a
new observer hook through the bounded per-consumer queues on_stream_* already
use, so plugin code never runs on the token path. Nothing is written to the
room log: deltas would exhaust a room's byte budget in minutes and checkpoint
replay must stay a pure function of the durable events. The task stamp gains
member_id (the driver already knows it; the proof did not carry it).
Group Chat keeps execution, scheduling and persistence; plugins own
presentation.
