A plain ``profile=None`` default could not tell "caller named the actor"
from "read the card" — an unassigned card is a legitimate None actor, and
the row re-read would silently kick back in for it. Use a module sentinel
so only callers that did not pass an actor fall back to the card row.
Trims the salvaged test file to two invariants in the existing review
lifecycle suite: the never-claimed handoff names the implementer (red on
main) and an unassigned card's synthesized run keeps ``profile=NULL``.
request_review captures the implementer before rewriting tasks.assignee to
the reviewer, but _synthesize_ended_run re-reads assignee off the mutated
row, so the zero-duration review_requested run names the reviewer instead
of the handoff's actor. Pass the captured implementer through a new
optional profile keyword on _end_or_synthesize_run/_synthesize_ended_run.
Fixes#111064
tasks.worker_pid outlives a reboot; afterwards the number can belong to any
process. _pid_alive answered from bare existence, so reclaim_stale_claims kept
extending the claim of a "live" stranger (stuck running task), and
enforce_max_runtime / _terminate_reclaimed_worker SIGTERM'd then SIGKILL'd it.
_set_worker_pid now records gateway.status.get_process_start_time(pid) as
tasks.worker_started_at (additive column, NULL on legacy rows). _worker_alive
(pid, started_at) is the liveness check every reader uses (reclaim, defer,
reconcile, crash sweep, max-runtime, archive, reopen invalidation); a live pid
whose fingerprint disagrees is a recycled PID: treated as dead, never
signalled (termination reports pid_recycled). Legacy rows without a
fingerprint keep the existence answer until their next spawn.
Row hermes_cli/kanban_db_dispatch.py:458 (lane4_high) confirmed by tracing:
the SIGKILL at :461 was gated only on _pid_alive.
_config_profile_scope bound only HERMES_HOME, so GET /api/config?profile=B
expanded B's `${VAR}` refs to the dashboard (DEFAULT) profile's plaintext
credentials, WS /api/console commands for B saw the default's keys wherever B
lacked one, and the audio speak-stream synthesis thread re-resolved the TTS key
unscoped. Console `send` for B went further: send_cmd._load_hermes_env copied
B's .env into the shared os.environ with override=True, so every later
default-profile read saw B's tokens.
- web_server_profiles._config_profile_scope binds home + hydrated secret scope
for a named profile and flips the process to fail-closed multi-profile
hosting (same activation as the tui_gateway); the dashboard's own profile then
runs under its frozen-launch-env scope. A single-profile dashboard stays
unscoped (systemd / op-run credential injection keeps working).
- GET /api/tools/toolsets computes the per-toolset "configured" flag inside
the profile scope (it was read after the scope closed).
- web_routers/mcp._profile_secret_scope now just delegates (no second copy of
the composition); audio `_produce` runs the whole synthesis body under the
requesting profile's scope, not only the resolve step.
- send_cmd._load_hermes_env targets the installed secret scope when one is
active (gateway.config._getenv reads the scope first), os.environ only for
the standalone CLI.
`hermes serve` / the Desktop backend hosted many profile homes (session
profile_home, the `profile` RPC param, hosted rooms) but never called
agent.secret_scope.set_multiplex_active, so every unscoped get_secret read for
a secondary silently returned the LAUNCH profile's os.environ value, and
@_profile_scoped bound only HERMES_HOME: `config.get full` for profile B
expanded B's `${VAR}` refs to the default profile's plaintext credentials,
model.options listed the default's env-keyed providers, llm.oneshot billed the
default's auxiliary key.
- tui_gateway/launch_profile_policy.py (was launch_terminal_policy.py): the
first time _profile_home registers a non-launch home the process freezes
the launch env and flips get_secret to fail closed
(activate_multi_profile_hosting); launch_secret_scope composes the launch
profile's .env + external sources over that frozen env so systemd / op-run
injection survives the flip while a secondary never sees it.
- model_switch._profile_runtime_scope_tokens is the ONE composer for
home + secret + terminal scope: a named profile binds its own files; the
launch profile binds its frozen-env scope once multiplexing is active and
stays unscoped in a single-profile process (legacy os.environ precedence).
_profile_scoped, _profile_scoped_rpc, _session_profile_runtime_scope,
_bind_build_profile_scopes and _prepare_turn_input all go through it.
- Hosted-room / Group Chat turns for a DEFAULT-profile member in a
`multiplex_profiles: true` gateway no longer die at agent build with
UnscopedSecretError: `profile_home is None` was treated as "no scope"
in _start_agent_build._build and _prepare_turn_input.
- llm.oneshot runs under the session's (or params.profile's) scope;
_lap_builtin_rows / _overlay_has_creds / _provider_has_credentials read
provider keys through _scoped_key_env instead of raw os.environ;
methods_groups._profile_execution_policy resolves the hosted-room policy
(which reads provider credentials) under the profile's full scope.
Live repro (real `hermes serve`, two homes, config.get {key: full, profile: b}):
base a_ref: <A_VALUE> b_ref: ${B_ONLY_TOKEN} env_ref: <ENV_INJECTED>
head a_ref: ${A_ONLY_TOKEN} b_ref: <B_VALUE> env_ref: ${ENV_INJECTED_TOKEN}
Control (one home, --single): launch config still resolves env_ref from os.environ.
HERMES_DELEGATED_CHILD_CONTEXT=1 is deliberately carried into every shell/
execute_code subprocess a delegate_task child spawns (the fence must survive
exec so a grandchild `hermes kanban complete` cannot promote itself). But the
readers treated the bare flag as "fence every Kanban DB": kanban_db_connect
opened ANY board ?mode=ro and write_txn refused ANY mutation. A subagent
running a Kanban reproduction against a scratch HERMES_HOME therefore got a
silently read-only board with a misleading "descendants require an
initialized board" error; only one lane in the retrospective ever discovered
why (deleg_15dac332), every earlier kanban repro ran degraded.
The marker's value is now the fenced board ROOT (kanban_home() at spawn) and
readers deny only paths under that root or the dispatcher-pinned
HERMES_KANBAN_DB (kanban_path_is_fenced). In-process children and a legacy
"1" marker still fence everything; an inherited path marker is never
re-derived, so a grandchild that moved HERMES_HOME cannot unfence the real
board. Owner-gate tests (test_kanban_descendant_scope, cron env isolation,
kanban CLI exit status) are unchanged and green.
3fad83df31 (Aug 11) moved Relay exporter config to a plugins.toml
selected by HERMES_NEMO_RELAY_PLUGINS_TOML. A .env still carrying the legacy
exporter vars and no TOML logs ONE warning and initialises no exporters, so
users who followed the earlier docs lost every trace silently (the
maintainer's stopped Aug 20, noticed Sep 14; five multiplexed profiles on
the same box carry the same eight vars today).
- `hermes_cli/relay_plugin_migrate.py`: build the document from the
`nemo_relay.observability` dataclasses (`ComponentSpec(...).to_dict()`,
so the `type = "file"` sink discriminator is emitted), validate it by
activating it through `nemo_relay.plugin.initialize` + `clear_async`,
write `<home>/relay-plugins.toml` (tomli_w when installed, minimal emitter
otherwise), set HERMES_NEMO_RELAY_PLUGINS_TOML in that .env, and comment
the legacy lines out (never delete). Defaults mirror the removed plugin so
files land where they used to.
- `hermes update` runs it for the default home AND every live named profile
(each writes its own TOML) as a best-effort post-update step, with a loud
notice; `hermes migrate relay [--all-profiles] [--no-validate]` runs it on
demand.
- The runtime WARNING and the `hermes doctor` finding now say "NO traces
are being exported" and name the exact command and file path.
- Docs: environment-variables.md + built-in-plugins.md carry the migration
note and a complete plugins.toml example including `type = "file"`.
Under gateway.multiplex_profiles, `_start_one_profile_adapters` skipped
Platform.RELAY / Platform.WHATSAPP for secondaries with a bare `continue`,
and the startup "not being served" WARNING only covered platforms the
PRIMARY skipped. Four secondaries on one live box had WHATSAPP_ENABLED=true
and nothing in the log, status file, or `hermes gateway status` said the
channel was dead.
- `_note_unserved_secondary_platform`: one INFO per (profile, platform)
naming the reason (shared process-level ingress owned by the default) and
the remedy (enable it on the default profile, or disable it here), plus a
`<profile>:<platform>` runtime-status stamp (state=disabled,
error_code=multiplex_shared_ingress).
- `_start_secondary_profiles` folds those platforms into the loud WARNING
when NO profile (default included) runs them.
- `hermes gateway status --profile X` prints
`whatsapp: not served under multiplex (shared ingress owned by default)`
from that stamp; /api/status excludes `disabled` entries from the
platforms degraded verdict (informational, not a fault).
- Docs: multi-profile-gateways.md gets the shared-ingress rule.
config_loader._dm_behavior_choice still normalized against {"pair","ignore"},
so `unauthorized_dm_behavior: decline` in config.yaml (top level or a
platform block) was coerced back to "pair" on the real startup path
(load_gateway_config), and `unauthorized_dm_decline_message` was never
bridged into gw_data. Both now go through gateway.config.UNAUTHORIZED_DM_BEHAVIORS
(single source) and the presence bridge. The round-trip test exercises
load_gateway_config with a real config.yaml (top-level decline, telegram
override, custom message) instead of GatewayConfig.from_dict.
Telegram's intake prefilter only forwarded unauthorized DMs when the
behavior was exactly "pair", so with an allowlist configured a decline was
never sent. Anything that needs an outbound reply (!= "ignore") passes.
`hermes gateway setup` gains a "Politely decline unknown senders" choice
that writes platforms.<platform>.unauthorized_dm_behavior: decline; docs
mention it. Upstream-source references dropped from docstrings.
The salvaged parametrized set collapsed to one neutral case (transient) plus
the needs_input positive control. hermes kanban block now mirrors the
notifier: 'needs a human decision' only when the block was typed
needs_input, 'orchestration attention needed' otherwise.
The sibling surfaces of the gateway ping rendered the same false claim:
`hermes kanban block` said "needs a human decision", the Desktop toast title
said "needs a decision", the wake status line (locales/*.yaml
gateway.kanban.wake.block_loop_detected) said "needs a decision" and the
docs described the triage route as "for a human decision". A repeated-block
circuit breaker only establishes that orchestration attention is needed.
Surface sweep from PR #111131 (notifier/test hunks dropped in favour of the
typed-kind formatter from PR #111132).
local_models._set_runtime_enabled (quickstart/activate/stop job threads) and
profiles._disable_unselected_skills ran load_config -> mutate -> save_config
without _CONFIG_MUTATION_LOCK, so the dashboard's debounced PUT /api/config
autosave could erase their writes exactly like the routers this PR already
fixed. Both spans now hold the lock.
POST /api/model/set held the global lock across switch_model's catalog
fetches / endpoint probes, stalling every other config writer for the
duration of a network round-trip. The main-slot validation is split into
_prepare_main_assignment (runs under the profile scope only) and the
load -> apply -> save half runs under the lock. The Nous entitlement refresh
(force_fresh) stays inside the write half: it must read the on-disk config
it mutates, and it is bounded by the portal timeout.
Only PUT /api/config took the span lock; model.set, moa, custom-endpoint
create/activate/delete, memory-provider saves, and the profile-dir model
write ran load→mutate→save unlocked in worker threads. The desktop fires
these concurrently with its debounced autosave — whichever save landed
second silently dropped the other's mutation (#88913/#89184 lost-write
flavor). Race test with slowed save proves both writes now survive.
`model.key_env` is not custom-only: the Desktop settings UI stores REGISTRY
provider keys there (e.g. HERMES_CUSTOM_LMSTUDIO_API_KEY with provider
lmstudio, #106336) and auth._model_level_key_env honours it. The previous
predicate (`not custom or route_changed`) therefore wiped that pointer on a
same-provider same-base_url model re-pick and silently broke the user's
credential. The pointer now clears ONLY when provider or base_url changed;
the inline api_key/api rule is unchanged.
Custom-endpoint activation (model_setup_flows_custom) popped base_url /
api_key but never key_env, so a stale pointer from a previous endpoint
outranked the credential it had just written — pop it alongside.
Tests: the same-route re-pick case now covers a registry provider (red on
the old predicate), and the two clear_model_endpoint_credentials tests are
folded into one invariant.
Main no longer clears credentials in web_server's _apply_main_model_assignment;
every /model surface (CLI, gateway, TUI, dashboard) persists through
model_selection_config_updates(), which only dropped api_key/api on a route
change. Custom-endpoint activation writes model.key_env with NO inline key, so
a pointer-only model block survived every provider switch and routed the new
provider's requests to the old endpoint's env var (the PR's Bug 5) — live
repro on main: activate custom_myep -> /api/model/set openrouter left
key_env: CUSTOM_MYEP_API_KEY on disk.
Port the PR's web_server hunk to the one shape function: key_env/api_key_env
clear under the same route-changed rule as api_key (same-route re-pick keeps
them). The dashboard's _resolve_assignment_credentials re-adds the TARGET
provider's own pointer after this, so custom->custom still ends with the new
endpoint's key_env. One invariant test in the one-shape suite.
Custom-endpoint activation writes model.key_env, but
clear_model_endpoint_credentials never popped it and the switch-clears
trigger only fired on inline keys — a pointer-only model block survived
every provider switch, routing the new provider's requests to the old
endpoint's env var. key_env/api_key_env now clear under clear_api_key;
the trigger fires on pointer-only blocks too. All key_env writers set it
after the clear, so custom-to-custom switches keep the new pointer.
`_provider_pip_dependencies` still read ~/.hermes/hindsight/config.json with
strict utf-8 inside a bare `except Exception`, so a Windows-editor BOM made the
`mode` lookup silently fail and `hermes update` reinstalled only
`hindsight-client`, leaving the embedded daemon broken — the exact #70636
symptom this helper exists to prevent. Route it through the shared
`read_json_or_empty` (utf-8-sig, {} on missing/corrupt) like the other memory
readers in this PR, and add the reader to the parametrized BOM invariant.
Port from earendil-works/pi#8337 (UTF-8 BOM normalization in text inputs):
sibling sites the merged #81967 BOM sweep missed. json.loads hard-fails on
a leading U+FEFF and every one of these loaders swallows the exception and
silently falls back to defaults — a user who edited mem0.json, honcho.json,
hindsight/config.json, or supermemory.json in Notepad lost their whole
config with no error, and Qwen CLI OAuth creds saved with a BOM raised
qwen_auth_read_failed.
- plugins/memory/{honcho,mem0,hindsight,supermemory}: 13 read sites -> utf-8-sig
- hermes_cli/auth.py: _read_qwen_cli_tokens -> utf-8-sig
- tests: BOM regression tests per loader (sabotage-proven) + plain-UTF-8 guard
Review follow-up (Enough1122) on the salvaged #91272: the original
list_context_file_sources() hand-mirrored the priority ladder inside
build_context_files_prompt, so the two would drift the moment the builder
gained a context type or changed precedence — misreporting what the prompt
holds is worse than not showing it.
Now prompt_builder exposes one candidate finder per context type
(_CONTEXT_FILE_CANDIDATES → discover_context_files) and BOTH the loaders and
the manifest walk it. The manifest lives in the new sibling
agent/context_file_sources.py (not appended to the facade) and:
- reports empty / unreadable files truthfully instead of "✓ 0 tokens",
- mirrors the install-tree guard ("suppressed") so a Desktop session that
fell back into the Hermes tree sees why nothing loaded,
- lists every .cursor/rules/*.mdc as loaded, matching the builder which
concatenates all of them,
- measures truncation on the rendered "## label" section like the builder.
The block now renders on every surface that shows the /context category
table: CLI/TUI (hermes_cli/cli_info_mixin.py) and the messaging gateway
(gateway/slash_commands_status.py). The Desktop popover consumes the raw
session.context_breakdown payload (no text table) and is left as-is.
Tests trimmed to the two invariants: manifest/prompt parity across every
context type at once, and truncated/suppressed follow the builder.
Squashed integration of the user-facing message audit for this surface set.
Full per-finding receipts: /tmp/ux-audit/lanes/*-receipt.md (campaign artifacts).
The system prompt must stay byte-stable for the life of a conversation:
`_auto_load_skills_result` is seeded in `_SESSION_STATE` and filled on
the FIRST prompt build only (HERMES_IGNORE_RULES captured then too), so
model switches, compression and static-prefix restoration reuse the
exact rendered bytes rather than re-reading config or skill files.
CLI: auto_load renders in the existing background `--skills` preload
thread (real session id for ${HERMES_SESSION_ID}), `-s` names dedupe
against the auto-loaded canonical names via
`build_preloaded_skills_prompt(excluded_loaded_names=)`, the activated
skills line shows auto_load first, and the lazily built agent is seeded
with the pre-resolved bytes. `--ignore-rules` skips auto-load with the
rest of the auto-injected context.
Re-implementation of #74060 by @ctaylor86 against current main.
`skills.auto_load: [name, ...]` in config.yaml renders the listed skills
as fully loaded skill blocks in the system prompt of every new agent —
CLI, TUI, gateway, cron and API — the persistent counterpart of `-s`.
Missing or operator-disabled names are warned about and skipped; a
config typo never blocks session start.
Re-implementation of #26840 by @ArcherQAQ (via #74060) against current
main — the original patch targeted the pre-decomposition cli.py /
system_prompt.py god files; design and diagnosis preserved. The loader
reuses `_load_skill_blocks` (same disabled gate and Curator usage bump
as `-s`) instead of a parallel loop.
_resolve_default_assignee imported the raw profile_exists instead of the
allowlist-gated predicate returned by _profile_exists_fn(). On a shared
board, a home with dispatch_profiles: [sage] and default_assignee: default
therefore passed the gate for "default" (every home has that profile), wrote
assignee=default plus an `assigned` event onto an unassigned card it may not
claim, and only then bucketed it skipped_nonspawnable. That is a row write on
a card another home owns. Routing through _profile_exists_fn() makes an
out-of-allowlist default_assignee resolve to None, so the card is left
untouched; the unimportable-profiles fallback is unchanged.
Review finding: default_assignee bypassed the dispatch_profiles gate and persisted assignee + assigned event onto unclaimable shared-board cards.
Follow-up to the salvaged #111004 commit, aligning it with the shape agreed
on #110995:
- Drop the HERMES_KANBAN_DISPATCH_PROFILES env bridge: non-secret behaviour
lives in config.yaml only, like every other kanban.* key.
- Read the key via load_config_readonly() with the same fail-open config
read as the sibling kanban.* readers (configured_max_in_progress).
- Fail closed when the key is set: the "none" sentinel is gone (an empty
list already claims nothing), and an assignee that is not a valid
profile id is never claimable instead of being lower-cased into the
allowlist.
- Trim the regression file to two invariants (allowlist without `default`
buckets the card as nonspawnable AND turns has_spawnable_ready off;
unset key keeps upstream behaviour). Both drive the real dispatch tick
against a real config.yaml + kanban.db; the first is red on origin/main.
- Docs: move the "Shared boards across homes" section out of the
gateway-dispatcher paragraph, state that `default` collides by
construction, add the config-reference row.
On a shared kanban.db, every home's profile_exists('default') is
unconditionally True, so any home's dispatcher could claim cards assigned
to 'default'. Wrap the _profile_exists_fn() predicate with an optional
per-home allowlist: kanban.dispatch_profiles (config.yaml, list or
comma-separated string) with a HERMES_KANBAN_DISPATCH_PROFILES env bridge.
Unset preserves upstream behavior; 'none' claims nothing. Foreign
assignees land in the existing skipped_nonspawnable bucket, and the gate
applies to the ready spawn path, _has_spawnable, and review dispatch alike.
Also documents the multi-home default collision in the kanban user guide.
Fixes#110995
Review fold: build "\a" + sequence once and dispatch it to exactly one sink (app loop
when the Application runs, write_tty otherwise) instead of two branches with two writes
and two try/excepts. terminal_notify.notify() had a single caller (that fallback), so
write_tty is the public no-app entry and notify() is gone. The loop-side write keeps the
never-raises contract on a dead tty (EIO/closed file) the same way _pet_flush_kitty_frame
does, and _ring_bell skips entirely once _terminal_io_broken is set.
pty A/B re-run on this stack: 400 rings vs 90 frames, 0 aborted, 0 painted, 400/400 delivered.
The side-worker (/bg, /btw, /login) hand-rolled its bell with a bare sys.stdout
'\a' and so never emitted the OSC 9 / OSC 777 desktop notification the other
end-of-work sites get. Route it through _ring_bell, which also owns the
bell_on_complete gate and the app-loop serialization.
Symptom (Ghostty, display.pet on, display.bell_on_complete on): at the end of a turn the
input line fills with several rows of base64 and a stale copy of the status bar + pet
stays above the response panel.
Root cause: _ring_bell runs on the agent thread and terminal_notify wrote the OSC 9 /
OSC 777 sequence through its own open("/dev/tty") (or sys.stdout). The prompt_toolkit
loop thread may at that moment be mid-write of a 12 KB kitty APC pet frame, which the tty
drains ~1 KB at a time. The second writer splices into the frame; the foreign ESC aborts
the APC and the terminal paints the remainder of the payload as text at the input cursor.
The wrapped garbage scrolls the screen, so the panel that follows is printed against a
stale cursor position and the old chrome survives above it.
Change: when the CLI's Application is running, _ring_bell hands "\a" + the notification
sequence to the app loop (_run_on_app_loop -> _write_terminal_sequence), serializing it
behind the renderer and the after_render frame writer. terminal_notify.notify() keeps the
/dev/tty path for callers without a running app; the sequence builder is split out as
notification_sequence().
Verification: pty A/B with the real Application + after_render frame writer, 400 rings
vs 91 frames — base: 3 leaks (4,324 base64 chars painted); fixed: 0 leaks, 400/400
notifications delivered, 0 aborted frames.
The dashboard endpoint GET /api/skills/hub/search passes its user-supplied
`source` straight into parallel_search_sources and never applied the merged
provider cut, so ?source=nvidia returned a mixed set. That was the fourth
caller of the walker; the cut was copy-pasted at three of them and missing
at the fourth.
parallel_search_sources already computes the normalized provider filter, so
the cut now lives there — applied per source before results are counted and
merged. Every caller (CLI search via unified_search, CLI browse, TUI-gateway
browse, dashboard router) sees the same rule with no provider logic of its
own, source_counts stop reporting rows that are then dropped, and the three
duplicated call-site cuts are deleted. do_browse keeps its provider-specific
"No skills found for provider" message.
Also:
- HermesIndexSource.search now treats a whitespace-only provider_filter as
"no filter", matching GitHubSource.search (the two adapters previously
disagreed on the same keyword argument; unreachable through the walker,
which pre-normalizes).
- The regression-test fixture seeds tap caches by github_provider_for label
instead of case-sensitive repo literals, and serializes metas through
_skill_meta_to_dict, so a DEFAULT_TAPS casing change can no longer silently
unseed the fixture.
Validation: 121 targeted tests green; disabling the walker cut fails the
pre-existing test_unified_search_provider_filter_keeps_index_source with the
expected clawhub leak; 4/4 regression cases still red on unpatched main.
Follow-up polish on the provider-filter-before-limit fix:
- GitHubSource.search now skips taps whose repo maps to a different provider
instead of enumerating every tap and filtering afterwards. A tap's repo fixes
the provider of every result it yields (github_provider_for is the only source
of extra.provider in this adapter), so the skip is lossless and avoids up to 23
useless tap enumerations per provider-filtered search — real GitHub API calls
against the 60/hr unauthenticated budget and the 30s overall timeout when the
index is unavailable. The now-redundant post-loop filter is dropped.
- _provider_filter_of() is the single owner of "does --source name a provider";
it replaces the four inline copies of the strip/lower/membership idiom in
_select_active_sources, parallel_search_sources, unified_search and do_browse.
- _tap_cache_key() is shared by _list_skills_in_repo and the regression test so
the seeded tap cache can never drift from the production key format.
- _entry_provider() dedupes the raw-index provider extraction used by both the
pre-ranking filter and the scoring loop in HermesIndexSource.search.
- browse_skills (the TUI-gateway browse path) now applies the same merged
provider cut as do_browse; it accepted a provider value but returned
unfiltered results.
Validation: 121 targeted tests green; the regression tests go red on both
adapters when either the tap skip or the index pre-filter is neutralized, and
4/4 red on unpatched main; live CLI repro returns 0 results on main and 3/3
provider matches on this stack.
mcp 2.x rejects an authorization response that omits the RFC 9207 `iss`
parameter when the authorization server advertised
`authorization_response_iss_parameter_supported`. Cloudflare advertises it
AND sends it; the CLI loopback handler has always forwarded it, but every
other callback producer parsed only code/state/error, so the SDK raised:
OAuthFlowError: Authorization response missing iss parameter
advertised by the authorization server
and the server parked. Same machine, same config, `hermes mcp login <name>`
from a terminal succeeded — the failure is specific to the non-CLI relays.
Forward `iss` on every producer, matching `_make_callback_handler()`:
- tools/mcp_dashboard_oauth.py: `deliver_callback()` accepts `iss`;
`wait_for_callback()` returns `(code, state, iss)`. The bridge in
tools/mcp_oauth.py already splats that tuple into
`_authorization_code_result(code, state, iss)`, so it needs no change.
- tui_gateway/mcp_oauth_sessions.py: the gateway-hosted loopback listener
parses `iss`, and `deliver_callback_flow()` forwards it.
- tui_gateway/methods_tools.py: the `oauth.callback` RPC passes `iss`.
- hermes_cli/web_routers/mcp.py: the dashboard callback route accepts it.
- apps/desktop/electron/mcp-oauth-callback-ipc.ts: the one-shot listener
reads `iss` off the redirect (the renderer already spreads the whole
callback object into the RPC, so it flows through unchanged).
Providers that omit `iss` round-trip as `None`/`null` rather than being
dropped, so servers that do not advertise RFC 9207 keep working.
Verified live on Windows against mcp.cloudflare.com, whose metadata sets
`authorization_response_iss_parameter_supported: true`: the server that
previously parked on the missing-iss error now reports
`Authenticated — 3452 tool(s) available` and `hermes mcp test cloudflare`
connects. State-mismatch and replay rejection are unchanged.
Tests (each fails on base, passes with the fix):
- test_dashboard_flow_preserves_rfc9207_iss
- test_deliver_callback_forwards_iss (client-redirect relay)
- test_loopback_listener_forwards_iss (real HTTP redirect)
- two vitest cases on the Electron listener, incl. the iss-absent case
Refs #92758, #99984. PR #92765 fixes the dashboard route and the loopback
listener but not the client-redirect relay
(`deliver_callback_flow` / `oauth.callback` / the Electron listener), which
is the path Desktop drives against a remote backend.
hermes_state_common pulls in agent.* at import, so the URI builder moves to
hermes_state_holders (errno/os/sqlite3/pathlib only) where the gateway
readiness probe and backup can adopt it in a follow-up sweep. The doctor
structural-damage branch is one helper instead of two copies, the holder
scan goes through hermes_state_repair._live_writer_holds_db, the migration
hint uses _schema_not_built (the startswith("no such ") check also matched
"no such module: fts5"), and the hermes_state import is hoisted so an import
failure cannot mask itself as UnboundLocalError.
read_only_db_uri() replaces four inline mode=ro URI sites (two of which
still used the raw f-string that truncates on ?/# in the home path:
state_db_has_structural_damage and collect_state_db_stats). The doctor
write probe now applies the live-holder gate in both modes: a quiet store
is probed in place as on main, a held store is probed through a read-only
snapshot, and a held store over 1 GB is skipped with an info line unless
--fix is given (the unconditional copy cost one full DB write per plain
doctor run). Connect/backup failures propagate to the existing
classification instead of being reported as FTS write-health failures.
Observational sessions commands print a migration hint instead of a raw
traceback when a read-only opener meets an older schema.

- Keep (a) list/stats/pinned open SessionDB(read_only=True) — one parametrized test — and (b) a missing store prints empty results and is never created.
- Drop the insights read-only test (already covered on main), the status test, the mutating-action/live-writer/doctor-isolation tests, and the two doctor factory tests.
- Replace _EmptyObservationalStore + error-string sniffing with a plain '_default_db_path() does not exist' branch printing each action's empty output; the fake-store tests in test_sessions_pin keep working because the branch only runs when the open fails.
- _session_count: back to main's raw sqlite mode=ro COUNT(*) via as_uri() — routing it through SessionDB(read_only=True) both re-introduced the raw f-string URI ('?'/'#' in the home path truncate it) and queries columns (s.archived) an unmigrated store lacks, so doctor would report a healthy DB as broken.
- _write_health_reason: snapshot source URI built with as_uri() for the same reason; the --fix live probe (_db_opens_cleanly runs BEGIN IMMEDIATE) now falls back to the snapshot unless live_writer_holds_db proves the store quiet, matching _state_db_wal — hermes doctor --fix never becomes a second writer against a gateway's state.db (#103339).
- SessionDB._connect_read_only: same as_uri() form so every read-only opener is safe in a home containing '?' or '#'.
- test_sessions_export_output_dir: fixture accepts the read_only kwarg the PR introduced.
- Drop the two doctor tests that pinned the SessionDB factory kwargs; main's URI-reserved-chars test covers _session_count.

## What does this PR do?
Makes observational CLI commands open `state.db` in read-only mode, so they can inspect a live Hermes installation without participating in writable WAL lifecycle handling.
### Symptom
Running `hermes status`, `hermes doctor` without `--fix`, `hermes sessions list`, `hermes sessions stats`, or `hermes insights` while a gateway owns the store could open another writable session handle. The live turn could then lose its WAL generation and stop.
### Impact
Users inspecting status or session history during an active turn could lose that in-flight turn and leave the gateway halted until recovery.
### Bug Cause
**Trigger:** observational CLI helpers constructed `SessionDB()` with its writable default.
**Causal chain:**
1. A live gateway holds the `state.db` WAL generation.
2. A nested observational CLI command opens a second writable handle.
3. Writable-handle close behavior can participate in WAL lifecycle work and retire the generation used by the live writer.
**Why it is wrong:** these commands only query state and should not have writer privileges.
**Working sibling / contrast:** repair and mutating session commands still use writable access intentionally.
**Ruled out:** no state schema, migration, or WAL checkpoint implementation changes are included.
### Fix
Routes status, non-fixing doctor state inspection, sessions list/stats, and both insights entrypoints through `SessionDB(read_only=True)`. Repair and mutating paths remain writable, and regression tests cover WAL preservation with a live writer.

- ✅ Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue)
## Changes Made
- `hermes_cli/status.py`, `hermes_cli/doctor_state.py`, and insights helpers — open observational state readers read-only.
- `hermes_cli/sessions_cmd.py` — make only `list` and `stats` read-only; retain writable access for mutations.
- `tests/hermes_cli/test_observational_sessiondb_modes.py` — verify access modes and a live writer's WAL remains usable.
## How to Test
- ✅ `scripts/run_tests.sh tests/hermes_cli/test_observational_sessiondb_modes.py tests/hermes_cli/test_cli_insights_command.py` — 9 passed.
- ✅ `scripts/run_tests.sh tests/hermes_cli/test_doctor.py tests/hermes_cli/test_doctor_structural_corruption.py tests/hermes_cli/test_sessions_error_exit_codes.py` — 75 passed; two sandbox-only failures came from blocked host process/symlink operations.
- ✅ A live `SessionDB` writer remains able to create and retrieve a session after `sessions stats` reads the store.

Move _non_exportable_entries next to its first caller, fold the .pyc/.pyo
suffixes into it (the clone-all closure kept its own copy), and route the
last un-ignored profile copytree (the skills/ copy in _bootstrap_profile_dir)
through it. Cut the three repeated "sockets abort copytree" comments down to
the helper docstring. Split the clone-all special-file case into its own
POSIX-marked test so the cron-jobs assertion keeps its Windows coverage, and
use monkeypatch.chdir in the socket-binding test helper.
Route the --clone-all copytree ignore through _non_exportable_entries so a
live source profile holding a gateway or agent-browser socket (or a FIFO)
no longer aborts the clone with [Errno 6] No such device or address.
.pyc/.pyo and the root exclude sets keep their existing handling.
hermes_cli/profile_distribution.py:_copy_dist_payload is left alone: it
copies from a freshly extracted distribution archive (a staged temp tree),
never from a live profile, so it cannot meet a socket.
Extends test_clone_all_does_not_copy_cron_jobs to cover the clone path.
Named-profile export staged its copy with an ignore callable that only
excluded credential files, so any Unix socket in the profile (e.g. a stale
agent-browser control socket under home/.agent-browser/) made
shutil.copytree collect "[Errno 6] No such device or address" and raise
shutil.Error, failing the entire export. The default-profile export
already excluded *.sock by suffix, but a socket without that suffix (or a
FIFO, or a device node) failed it the same way.
Extract the universal exclusions into _non_exportable_entries(), which
keeps the __pycache__/*.sock/*.tmp name rules and additionally drops any
entry that is not a regular file, directory, or symlink (os.lstat mode
check), and use it in both the default and named export branches.
Widening secret_source_names() to include skipped_existing names silently changed
tools/mcp_tool_config.py::_build_safe_env, an untouched consumer that forwards every
returned name into MCP stdio child envs. That consumer wants only names a source
actually APPLIED (pre-stack semantics), so secret_source_names() goes back to
tuple(_SECRET_SOURCES).
The routed-child scrub in strip_launch_profile_env is the one site that must also see
names a source supplied but lost to a pre-existing process value, so it reads the new
source_supplied_names() accessor instead. tools/mcp_tool_config.py is byte-identical to
origin/main.
_hydrate_profile_secret_sources and _apply_external_secret_sources each
rebuilt the same "applied + skipped_existing" set and pushed it into
_SOURCE_SUPPLIED_NAMES; the routed-child scrub depends on both sites
agreeing, so give them one helper.
refresh_installed_secret_scope cleared the installed scope before
refilling it, which left a window where a concurrent reader of the same
fire saw no credentials at all. Update first, then pop the names the
rebuild no longer supplies; stale values still disappear.
Review findings on f5f88d5058. Three are defects the previous round introduced.
Managed keys were stripped as launch residue. Recording every dotenv load as
residue swept in the administrator-managed `.env`, which `_apply_managed_env`
applies LAST with override precisely so it beats the user's own `.env`. A
routed child then lost `ORG_POLICY_FLAG=managed-value` to the routed user's
`user-value`. Managed keys are now recorded separately, never enter the
residue set, and are re-applied over the routed scope in both child builders
(`scheduler_script`, the restart-safe handoff) so the child sees the same
precedence the launch process does. `kanban_db_dispatch` and
`scheduler_delivery` strip without any overlay, so for them the exclusion
alone is the guarantee; the test pins the case that exercises it — the same
key defined in both the user and the managed file.
Private hydration did not record supplied names. `_hydrate_profile_secret_sources`
now feeds `provenance` plus `skipped_existing` into the same ownership set the
process-global path uses; the provenance label map stays applied-only.
Removal cleanup cleared its marker before the fallible work. A raising
reload left the removed plugin's credential active with no retry, because the
next no-source discovery saw the flag already false. The marker is cleared
only after reset, reload and installed-scope refresh succeed.
Routed fire not multiplexed at the handoff. `run_one_job` enables the
context in `_install_fire_secret_scope`, which runs AFTER
`_launch_external_cron_worker`, so a routed desktop fire on the managed path
serialized `multiplex_active=False` and built the worker env with launch
residue and no scrub. The handoff now treats `routed_profile_fire()` as
multiplexed for exactly its own span; the worker re-establishes the state from
the payload as before.
Each fix was checked by reverting it and confirming its regression fails,
including the overlay half and the exclusion half of the managed fix
separately.

Review findings on d8c467f223, each reproduced through its production path.
Stale launch key. `strip_launch_profile_env` built its residue set from a
re-parse of the launch `.env`. A key removed or renamed in that file after
boot is still in `os.environ` with the old value (dotenv never unsets), and
the current file no longer names it, so it survived into the routed child.
`_load_dotenv_with_fallback` — the one chokepoint every dotenv load goes
through — now records the KEY names it put into the process env, additive for
the process lifetime (`launch_dotenv_keys()`), and the strip unions that record
with the current file.
Source name that lost to the process env. `_apply_external_secret_sources`
snapshots every name a source SUPPLIED (`provenance` + `skipped_existing`),
but `secret_source_names()` only exposed `_SECRET_SOURCES`, which is
provenance metadata and names applied values alone. A launch-profile source
that supplied `CUSTOM_VAULT_SECRET` while the process already had it was
therefore invisible to the scrub, and a routed child with an empty scope got
the launch value. Supplied names are tracked separately
(`_SOURCE_SUPPLIED_NAMES`) so the provenance labels stay honest, and
`secret_source_names()` returns the union.
Last plugin source removed. `_refresh_secret_sources_after_discovery`
returned before the cache reset and the installed-scope refresh whenever no
plugin source was enabled — and `discover_and_load(force=True)` unloads the
old registration first, so removing the final plugin source hit exactly that
return with the removed plugin's names still in the per-home snapshot and the
current scope. The manager now remembers that a discovery re-applied plugin
sources and, on the next discovery that finds none, reconciles once. A home
that never had a plugin source is still a no-op (pinned by the existing tests).
Regressions: the stale-key lifecycle and the skipped-existing case through
`_run_job_script` against a real routed child, and the removal case through
the manager. Each checked by reverting its fix and confirming the test fails.

The desktop backend ticks EVERY local profile's cron store from one process — its own docstring
says "like a multiplex gateway" (hermes_cli/web_server.py) — but never sets the process-global
multiplex flag, and cannot: its own chat turns are unscoped and would fail closed. Every
isolation in the tree keys on that flag — the guard that keeps a routed `.env` out of the shared
`os.environ`, `get_secret`'s fail-closed miss, passthrough resolution, the MCP and kanban
subprocess scrubs — so all of it was inert for a sibling profile's fire. Verified: a secondary
profile's API keys replaced the launch profile's in `os.environ` with `override=True` and stayed
there after the tick, and a scope miss read the launch profile's tokens (#107692).
Give multiplex mode a context-local counterpart. `set_multiplex_context` (agent/secret_scope.py)
is OR'd into `is_multiplex_active()`. `_profile_cron_scope` only MARKS a fire whose home is not
the process's own (`routed_profile_fire`, decided against `get_process_hermes_home()`, the
override-immune resolver); `_install_fire_secret_scope` in cron/scheduler.py installs the
profile's hydrated secret scope and, for a marked fire, the multiplex context — for exactly that
span, dropped again before the scope by `_reset_fire_secret_scope`. Multiplex semantics are
therefore never active in cron without a scope to read: `run_one_job`'s restart-safe handoff runs
before the body's scope and keeps today's semantics (its own scope is #107413 / #106050's seam,
left untouched so this composes with whichever lands). Every existing multiplex-keyed isolation
applies inside the routed fire with no per-site patching; the launch profile's own fires and the
backend's turns keep single-profile semantics; marker and override both reach the pool worker via
`copy_context()`. `get_secret` read the raw global in its miss branch; it now goes through
`is_multiplex_active()`. The dotenv guard keeps its pinned flag-only form (#77970).
Two consequences of suppressing the write are handled rather than left as regressions:
- a `no_agent` script's env is `os.environ.copy()`, which no longer carries the routed `.env`;
the runner overlays the installed scope onto the base BEFORE sanitizing, so the same scrub /
passthrough rules apply to those values and the parent process is never mutated;
- plugin secret sources are discovered on the fire's first agent build, after the scope froze,
and the post-discovery reload is hydrate-only under multiplex semantics; the refresh now folds
the values into the installed scope in place (`refresh_installed_secret_scope`, the pattern
`_publish_env_value` already uses for `.env` writes under multiplex).
And the profile's external secret sources are hydrated before the scope is frozen, the order
gateway/run.py and the external cron worker already use.
Tests pin each direction: the marker without the semantics before the scope, the semantics on and
off exactly with it, the marker reaching a copy_context worker; the process's own profile staying
single-profile; the restart-safe handoff's child env building without raising under a routed tick
with a passthrough key registered; a real child process receiving the routed values while
`os.environ` keeps the launch value; a source registered after the freeze reaching the fire
through the real PluginManager refresh. Reverting any one direction fails a distinct test.

The adapter reads `websocket_event_max_silence_seconds` (14400 s) but the
key was never added to DEFAULT_CONFIG, so CONFIG_SCHEMA — generated from
it — did not expose the new liveness threshold. Manual YAML worked while
dashboard users could not discover or edit it; the four sibling
websocket_* discord liveness keys are all registered there. Register it
with the same default so both config surfaces stay consistent.
The timeout branch of _run_hook_callback_bounded unconditionally added
gate_key to _hook_abandoned. A worker that finishes between done.wait()
returning False and the caller taking the lock has already popped its
token via _release_token, so nothing would ever clear that entry: the
callback stayed blocked for every later call id until reload with no
thread behind it. Guard the insert on the worker still being registered.
The new test makes the race deterministic by swapping the module's
threading.Event for one whose wait() lets the worker finish and then
reports a timeout, and asserts a fresh call id still runs.
Also pass tool_call_id inline from terminal_tool_result instead of the
conditional dict plumbing: an empty id is already treated as "no
identity" by _hook_call_identity and unknown fields are withheld from
narrow-signature callbacks (same shape as _fire_approval_hook). Update
the stale "(hook_name, id(cb))" comment above _hook_running_callbacks.
Gating hook callbacks by call identity lets two concurrent calls of the
same tool both run their hooks, but it also let a fresh tool_call_id pass
the gate once the 60 s suppression window lapsed even though the previous
worker for that callback never returned. A hung plugin then leaked one
daemon thread per minute for the life of the process; on the old
coarse-keyed gate it leaked exactly one.
Track abandoned-but-running workers per callback: the timeout branch
records the gate key, the worker's own release discards it, and the gate
treats any non-empty abandoned set as "still running" for that callback.
Healthy callbacks keep distinct-id concurrency; hung ones are back to
at most one outstanding worker.
Concurrent invocations of the same tool in one session collapsed into a single
busy key (hook_name, id(cb)): the second invocation was reported as 'still
running' and dropped. For pre_tool_call a drop is a fail-closed block, so the
gate silenced itself on an ordinary, healthy callback.
Measured on a busy profile: 3574 skip lines and 0 timeout lines in one hour —
every skip was the 'while still running' branch, i.e. pure key collision, not
slowness.
The gate now keys on the call identity that is already in the payload
(tool_call_id, else turn_id, else none — the last case behaves exactly as
before). Suppression stays keyed coarsely on (hook_name, id(cb)): a hung
callback is a fact about the callback, so its back-off must not be diluted
per call.
Refs #98382. Independent of #107894 (that one releases the slot on timeout;
this one stops healthy concurrency from colliding).
