Review feedback on #88136 (monerostar): a profile-scoped `hermes update`
sets HERMES_HOME to <root>/profiles/<name>, but the Hermes-managed
PortableGit tree lives under the SHARED root (<root>/git/...). The locator
checked get_hermes_home() only, so a broken trampoline during a
profile-scoped update was not swapped and fell through to ZIP.
Extract _portable_git_candidates() (shared root first, profile home as
fallback) and add a regression test for the profile layout.
A Git-for-Windows trampoline launcher (bin\git.exe / cmd\git.exe shim,
~46KB) that fails to re-exec the real git-core binary refuses every git
call with a "BUG (fork bomb)" guard instead of running it (#87876).
Detect the trampoline up front via `git --version`, locate a real git
binary (Git for Windows or Hermes-managed PortableGit locations), and
rebuild the git command with it so fetch/pull/checkout keep working with
a real git instead of degrading to the ZIP fallback. When no real binary
can be found, leave the command untouched so the existing fetch-failure
handler still falls back to the ZIP path on Windows (#88046).
Google Gemini/Gemma overflow errors read 'Unable to submit request because
the input token count is 32825 but model only supports up to 32768'.
parse_context_limit_from_error had no pattern for the 'supports up to N'
phrasing, so overflow recovery kept the wrong window and burned its retry
attempts instead of recalibrating to the provider-reported limit.
Add the anchored pattern (limit follows 'supports up to'; the larger input
count before it is never captured) plus regression tests covering the exact
message and the get_context_length_from_provider_error recalibration path.
Reported by @Artemonim in #57275 (residual claim 5).
The MINIMUM_CONTEXT_LENGTH floor in _compute_threshold_tokens only
degraded to the 85% trigger when it met or exceeded the effective
window exactly (#14690). Near-minimum windows slipped through: at
context_length=65536 the threshold passed through at 64,000 — 97.7%
of the window, ~1.5K tokens of output room — so pre-API compaction
effectively could not fire.
Providers that silently truncate over-window prompts instead of
rejecting them (e.g. ollama's OpenAI-compatible /v1 endpoint) never
deliver the reactive context-overflow backstop either. Observed live
on a 65,536-token local model: the session rode into the window
ceiling and each length-continuation retry re-sent a window-filling
prompt (65,120 -> 65,273 prompt tokens, 263 output tokens of room)
until the turn died with "Response remained truncated after 4
continuation attempts" — every retry paying a full multi-minute
prefill.
Cap the floored threshold at _MIN_CTX_TRIGGER_RATIO (85%) of the
effective input budget whenever the floor is the binding term. An
explicit threshold_percent above 85% is user intent and stays
uncapped; windows where the floor lands at/below the cap are
unchanged.
Builds on webtecnica's escape-aware _split_key_path (#84152, cherry-picked
with authorship preserved; earliest fix in the family was RelaxJonh's #80253
greedy-match approach — both behaviors now ship together):
- _greedy_literal_match: when navigating an EXISTING mapping, prefer an
existing literal key equal to the dot-join of the next N path segments
(longest match wins). Dotted model IDs are the norm, so the common
unescaped command (config set providers.p.models.grok-4.6.supports_vision
true) now hits the real key across set/get/unset instead of creating a
phantom sibling. Plain dotted paths with no dotted-key collision split
exactly as before.
- _phantom_sibling + ValueError in _set_nested: refuse to CREATE a new
intermediate mapping that would shadow an existing dotted literal sibling
(Soju06's fail-loudly suggestion on #84064); set_config_value surfaces it
as a clean CLI error with the escaped spelling to use.
- utils.py::atomic_roundtrip_yaml_update (the second split site, #91607 —
/model + TUI persistence) now uses the same escape-aware split + greedy
literal matching.
- CFG-04 empty-segment guard now splits escape-aware so escaped keys are
not misclassified.
- Tests for every repro shape in the family: #84064 provider model keys,
#80006 Matrix room IDs, #91095 dotted models under custom_providers list
index (incl. escaped creation-when-absent), #91607 model_overrides via
atomic_roundtrip_yaml_update, #99124 dotted leaf keys; plus
backward-compat coverage. Also fixed the carrier's one stale assertion
(structured-value coercion landed on main after #84152 branched) and
removed its dead _MCP_SECRETS_CONFIG fixture flagged in review.
- Docs: 'Dots inside key names' section in website/docs/reference/cli-commands.md.

Follow-up to the salvaged #98571: forward the interrupt to the compute
host whenever the parent 'running' mirror is stale, but only for
sessions that actually have hosted activity — HostSupervisor.interrupt()
calls start(), so an unconditional forward would spawn a compute-host
child just to deliver an interrupt for an idle lazy session.
Adds a regression test asserting the idle-lazy-session no-spawn path.

Profile processes launch with HERMES_HOME=~/.hermes/profiles/<name>, so
`hermes pause` at the fleet root did not bind fleet-analyst dispatch
(t_7b65ff88). Check/resume both the process home and the fleet root.
Generalize the HERMES_S6_SUPERVISED_CHILD supervisor-marker mechanism so
ANY supervised gateway launch (systemd, launchd, Windows Scheduled Task,
external supervisor) skips the active_profile redirect in
_apply_profile_override(). Previously only the s6 container marker was
honored, so a systemd-launched default-profile gateway with
HERMES_HOME=<root> followed the sticky active_profile file and silently
assumed another profile's identity — logging under that profile's tree
and connecting with its Telegram bot token (double-polling a token owned
by that profile's own live gateway).
- hermes_cli/main.py: honor HERMES_SUPERVISED_CHILD (new generalized
marker), HERMES_S6_SUPERVISED_CHILD (back-compat), INVOCATION_ID
(systemd; gateway commands only, since it leaks into every descendant
of systemd-launched processes), and HERMES_GATEWAY_EXTERNAL_SUPERVISOR.
- hermes_cli/gateway.py: export HERMES_SUPERVISED_CHILD=1 in generated
systemd units (user + system) and the launchd plist.
- hermes_cli/gateway_windows.py: export it from the Scheduled-Task cmd/vbs
launchers and the windowless respawn env overlay.
- hermes_cli/service_manager.py: export it alongside the s6 sentinel.
- tests: regression coverage for all markers + non-gateway INVOCATION_ID
neutrality + generated-unit marker presence.

shutdown_mcp_servers() blocks on future.result(timeout=15) which, called
from the gateway event-loop thread during SIGTERM teardown, freezes the
loop for up to 15s when the MCP loop and its stdio children are torn down
concurrently. Supervisors with a shorter kill grace (s6-overlay: 3s)
SIGKILL the gateway before lifecycle_ledger.mark_exited() runs, producing
phantom 'exited UNCLEANLY' reports on every subsequent boot.
Run the sync shutdown on a daemon thread and poll via _await_thread_exit

Real byte-flip fixtures (no mocks) proving the #96038/#98090-class fix
end to end, closing the acceptance gate on issue #97940:
- test_canonical_btree_corruption_fails_closed: checkpoint the WAL,
clobber every messages-table B-tree leaf page header, then assert a
live append raises the genuine bare SQLITE_CORRUPT, the classifier
refuses the FTS route, no rebuild/detach/stale-marker side effects
occur, and the field incident's misdiagnosis log line ('canonical
message rows are preserved') never appears.
- test_fts_only_corruption_still_self_heals: contrast case — a real
messages_fts_data shadow-table stomp raises SQLITE_CORRUPT_VTAB (267),
is classified as FTS-scoped, and the write path still self-heals with
canonical rows intact.
Sabotage-verified: reverting the classifier fix (96739033c4) makes the
canonical-corruption test fail by entering the FTS self-heal route.
Credits @fangliquanflq (PR #98090) for the production timeline analysis
and @diatche (PR #96038) for the classifier fix these tests gate on.

The _CFG_SECRET_WORD_RE pre-gate only skips secret-FREE text. A compaction
payload containing one real secret assignment plus a long opaque dotted run
still reaches _CFG_DOTTED_RE's backtrackable '*' prefix, which re.sub retries
from every byte of the run — quadratic while holding the GIL (same class as
the _ENV_ASSIGN_LOWER_RE fix in this branch, #99255).
Anchor each attempt to the start of a key run with a negative lookbehind.
Match set is unchanged: any match starting mid-run implies a leftmost match
at the run start, verified 20/20 identical over a dotted-config corpus.
30k-char adversarial run: 102s -> 0.015s.
The Codex auxiliary Responses adapter enforced a single absolute
deadline (300s floor for compression). A dead stream held the entire
budget before fallback ran, and repeated compression attempts stacked
those waits into 20+ minute 'Summarizing thread' stalls (masoria debug
bundle, Aug 31 2026). Meanwhile a healthy-but-slow reasoning summary
was killed at the same absolute deadline even while producing tokens.
Replace the absolute kill with progress-aware deadlines:
- 60s no-progress window for the first substantive payload AND between
payloads; keepalive/lifecycle frames do not re-arm (mirrors the
commit-fence gating, #96707)
- a live stream re-arms per token and is bounded only by
_aux_stream_total_ceiling() (max(600s, 4x configured timeout)), the
same backstop the streamed chat.completions path already uses
- the compression critical-path retry gate now distinguishes failure
cost: a cheap first-token no-progress failure retries the same
provider once; mid-stream stalls and ceiling hits still skip straight
to provider fallback (#54465 semantics preserved)
Live A/B (real OpenAI SDK against a local SSE server, real adapter):
dead keepalive-only stream: main waits the full budget; fixed fails
over at the window. Slow-but-alive stream (tokens past the configured
timeout): main kills it mid-generation; fixed completes.
Widen #96038's fail-closed classifier to the gateway transcript retry
path: SessionStore._is_fts_corruption_error no longer treats a generic
'database disk image is malformed' as FTS-only damage. It now delegates
to SessionDB._is_fts_write_corruption_error (SQLITE_CORRUPT_VTAB result
code or explicit fts5 corrupt-structure text) and only keeps the
messages_fts-named cases. Structural corruption falls through to the
bounded retry/backoff path instead of rebuilding FTS and retrying writes
against a damaged database.
Sibling site spotted in PR #98090 by @fangliquanflq.
docker run/exec argv previously carried -e KEY=VALUE pairs for every
forwarded/passthrough variable. On Linux /proc/<pid>/cmdline is
world-readable regardless of process owner, so every allowlisted secret
was visible to all local users via plain ps for the duration of every
terminal call.
Emit name-only -e KEY flags and supply values via the docker client
subprocess env instead: the docker CLI resolves valueless --env KEY from
its own environment (documented docker/podman behavior), moving secrets
from /proc/*/cmdline (0444) to /proc/*/environ (0400). Covers the docker
run container-start path, the recreation/recovery path, the init-seeding
exec path, and the per-command runtime exec path.
Reported by @sashalab. Fixes#96268
Follow-up to the per-file budget in the previous commit, which closed the
scaling axis it measured and left three others open.
* A per-file ceiling still lets the cost grow with the PROFILE count: a
multiplexed gateway serves N profiles from one process and each has its own
state.db, so `_READ_POOL_MAX` bounded each file while the process total went
unbounded — the per-instance bug one level out. `_READ_POOL_PROCESS_MAX`
(three files' worth) now bounds the process, and a miss reclaims an idle
connection from ANY path before degrading: a profile quiet for an hour must
not hold descriptors the profile being served right now needs.
* Hermes's SQLite descriptors are only ever a share of the fd table. In #98573
the ~20 state.db handles were not the whole 256 — they were the share that
pushed httpx sockets and terminal subprocess pipes over, and the EMFILE
surfaced in tools/terminal_tool.py rather than here. New read connections are
now refused when the process is within `_FD_HEADROOM_RESERVE` of its soft
RLIMIT_NOFILE, measured from /proc/self/fd or /dev/fd and cached briefly. The
guard fails OPEN where it cannot measure (Windows has neither the fd
directory nor RLIMIT_NOFILE, and a CRT limit in the thousands) and CLOSED on
evidence — including a probe that could not get a descriptor of its own.
`_read_open_denied_fd_headroom` makes it diagnosable from a running process.
* Writer connections cannot be rationed the way read connections can: a
SessionDB without one cannot write. Their only real bound is not opening
redundant handles, so a process that accumulates more than
`_HANDLES_PER_PATH_WARN` handles on one file now says so once, and the next
duplicate is visible before it is an incident instead of inferred from an
lsof after one.
`_READ_POOL_MAX` itself is deliberately unchanged at 8. Retuning that constant
is #98585's subject; with a process ceiling above it and the headroom guard
in front of it, the value is no longer the binding constraint.

Issue #98573 reports a long-lived gateway holding ~20 `state.db` descriptors
that never shrink, walking into the 256 soft RLIMIT_NOFILE a launchd/systemd
service manager hands the process. The cause named there — a per-thread
`threading.local()` read connection — is already gone (87aedbe7b6 pooled the
read connections, 0472c31aa1 added the peak permit). Measured on main: one
SessionDB with 40 concurrent reader threads peaks at 9 live connections, not 40.
The symptom survives one layer up. `_READ_POOL_MAX` was enforced by a
BoundedSemaphore owned by each SessionDB, which bounds the wrong noun: the
descriptors are spent on a FILE, so every additional handle on one state.db got
its own allowance and peak scaled as `instances x (1 + _READ_POOL_MAX)`.
Two changes, both needed:
* The permits move to a per-path `_PathReadBudget`, shared by every SessionDB
in the process that points at that file. A permit miss first reclaims an IDLE
pooled connection from a peer handle before degrading to the writer lock —
without that, whichever handle warmed up first would pin the whole budget and
permanently demote every later one (a cron job's transient handle, a second
profile's store) to the locked writer connection.
* `GatewayRunner` borrows `SessionStore`'s handle instead of opening its own.
Both caches resolve the same `_default_db_path()`, so the process was holding
two writer connections and two read pools against one file for no reason, and
doubling again per profile on a multiplexed gateway. The store owns the
connection and sweeps it at shutdown; the runner's cache now holds only the
async wrapper and its sweep skips borrowed handles.
Measured peak live connections against one file, 40 reader threads, by handle
count 1/2/4/8:
before: 9 / 18 / 36 / 51 (51 not 72 only because the sample window ended
before every pool filled)
after: 9 / 10 / 12 / 16 (read connections capped at 8 in total; the
remainder is one writer per handle, and the
gateway's per-profile pair is now one)

tarfile.open(archive_path, "w:gz") truncates the destination the instant
it opens. If tf.add() fails partway (disk full, permission loss,
interruption), whatever was previously at that path is gone — including
an existing profile or board export the caller chose to overwrite. This
is the same failure shape a7e7de6407 just fixed for the desktop gateway
file-save path, one commit earlier in the same window, but it was never
propagated to this shared archive-writing primitive even though board
export gained a new caller into it in that same window.
make_targz now writes into a sibling temp file (mkstemp, same directory
as the destination so the final step is a same-volume rename) and only
replaces the destination via os.replace() after the archive is fully
written and closed, mirroring the mkstemp+os.replace pattern already
used throughout this codebase (agent/secret_sources/_cache.py,
cron/jobs.py, gateway/status.py, etc). The temp file is unlinked on any
failure.
Salvaged from PR #84199 by @RickyYii. DirectAlias gains api_key/key_env; the direct-alias override re-resolves credentials against the alias endpoint (host-gated, #28660) and reuses the pre-alias key only on an origin match; oneshot -m <alias> passes the alias key as explicit_api_key; direct-alias branch gains the OLLAMA_API_KEY host gate. Fixes#83612.
Adapt five scenarios from @liuliu0223's regression suite in #99021:
- paired-mode (empty allowlist) positive paths for approval and
update-prompt cards, the DM breakage this fix resolves
- fail-closed rejection of clicks with an empty operator identity
- chat-mismatch rejection when an approval card is forwarded
The synchronous card-action handlers and the update-prompt resolver
authorized clicks with _allow_group_message(), which answers "may this
sender chat in this group?" — with group_policy=open it returns True
for everyone. The approval resolver already used the correct operator
gate (_is_interactive_operator_authorized), so the three code paths
disagreed: with an open group policy an out-of-allowlist click on an
update-prompt card was fully executed, and approval clicks returned a
resolved-looking card before being rejected asynchronously.
Authorize all three paths with _is_interactive_operator_authorized(),
which checks membership of admins ∪ allowed_group_users (wildcard and
the empty pairing-mode allowlist keep their existing allow semantics,
matching _admit's DM pairing default). A missing operator identity now
fails closed on the update-prompt resolver instead of skipping the
check.
Fixes#96045
The pre-release line-walk (#96601 salvage) moved the download/probe body
into install_node_line() and rejects an unstartable binary BEFORE
adoption via node_satisfies_build on the extracted tree. The sandboxed
driver now inlines all three functions, and the broken-node test pins
the stronger pre-adoption rejection instead of post-adoption cleanup.
install_node() picks the newest tarball out of
nodejs.org/dist/latest-v${NODE_VERSION}.x/ and installs it without ever asking
whether the binary inside is usable. That index currently serves
node-v26.8.0-<os>-<arch>.tar.xz -- a final-looking filename -- whose binary
reports v26.8.0-alpha.0.0.0. Node publishes the headers tarball named by
process.release.headersUrl only for final releases, so node-gyp cannot compile
against that build and every native module fails to install.
Probe the extracted tree before it replaces anything on disk, and fall back to
an older release line when the probe rejects it, instead of leaving the install
with an unbuildable runtime. Mirror the guard in node-bootstrap.sh, and let
_managed_node_tree_outdated() treat a pre-release tree as outdated so an
already-broken install heals itself -- the existing heal only fires below the
target major, and a pre-release sits above it.

The old contract (write after close() raises AttributeError and drops
the token delta) is superseded: the persistence boundary now reopens
the connection, so the delta lands. Assert the new, stronger contract.
Subagent/cron sessions died mid-run with "Session DB append_message
failed: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'execute'": a teardown owner
(cron run_job finally, delegate timeout owner, agent close()) called
SessionDB.close() — nulling _conn — while a still-unwinding worker had
one more transcript flush to land. The flush then hit None.execute, the
turn force-ended as session_persistence_failed, and the session tail was
silently dropped while cron delivery reported last_status: ok.
Fix at the shared persistence boundary: _execute_write and the _read_ctx
writer-lock fallback detect the closed handle under self._lock and
reopen a connection to the same database file with a loud WARNING naming
the race. Read-only handles never reopen — they raise an explicit
'was closed' error. A failed reopen raises an OperationalError naming
the teardown race so classify_persistence_error gets a real cause.
Closes#94736
Pin that execute() returns at the wall-clock deadline when the inner wait
never returns, that /stop on the tool-worker tid still kills the subprocess,
that the cron inactivity helper fires while the caller thread is blocked,
and that ContextVars plus the activity callback reach the deadline worker.
The orphan-backend classifier fingerprinted candidates via
gateway.status.get_process_start_time, which prefers /proc/<pid>/stat —
the HOST process table, in clock ticks. Under the fake-psutil test harness
(and any containerized run where the PID number happens to exist on the
host) that returns the WRONG process's fingerprint in the WRONG units,
while pid_is_hermes verifies via psutil centiseconds at kill time: the
guard would then refuse every legitimate reap. Read create_time() from the
same psutil handle used for classification, quantized exactly like
gateway.status does on Windows, so the fingerprint round-trips.
Also covers the Windows-lane sibling: test_uses_netstat_and_taskkill_on_windows
now pins the guarded call path, plus a new refusal test for a non-bridge
listener PID (#89614 class).
Salvage hardening on top of the three cherry-picked contributor commits

closing the remaining unverified-PID kill sites as one class (#98814, #89614):
- pid_is_hermes: token-boundary 'hermes' match (no more loose substring
false-positives), and an explicit start-time expectation is now honored
on POSIX too (a mismatched fingerprint is a recycled PID on any platform).
- kill_process_tree: drop the guard on our OWN retained Popen child — a
retained handle pins the PID, so the check could only false-refuse.
- gateway.status.terminate_pid: POSIX force-kills also refuse when a
caller-provided expected_start_time no longer matches.
- kill_gateway_processes: re-verify the LIVE cmdline at kill time (the
scan-time match is a TOCTOU window).
- _reap_unsupervised_gateway_orphans: fingerprint orphans at scan time and
require a still-matching identity before the delayed SIGKILL escalation.
- whatsapp _kill_port_process: never kill a bare netstat/lsof-scanned PID
unless the live process is actually a node bridge (was a stranger-kill).
- browser daemon reap/close paths: pass the start-time fingerprint into
ProcessRegistry._terminate_host_pid (previously unverified), and the
session-close path now runs the same daemon identity verification as
the orphan reaper.
- tests/hermes_cli/test_taskkill_identity_windows_live.py: live Windows

A summarization response with finish_reason == "length" contains PARTIAL
text — the generation stopped on the output-token cap mid-summary.
Previously all compressor summarization sites accepted such responses as
complete: the cut-off text replaced the real middle turns AND was fed back
into every subsequent iterative-update prompt, compounding the loss across
compactions.
Guards added at all four summarization sites (whole bug class):
- _generate_summary: length stop raises, gets the existing one-shot
main-model fallback (a larger output budget may finish the summary), and
on terminal failure ABORTS compression preserving the session unchanged
(new _last_summary_truncated_failure flag, same class as empty-content).
- _micro_summarize_one: partial rolling-summary merge is discarded; the
exchange stays unabsorbed for a later pass.
- _build_chunk_digests: partial lean digest degrades to the
recover-via-session_search placeholder.
- trajectory_compressor (sync + async): length stop raises into the
existing retry/backoff loop.
_response_finish_reason() reads dict- and object-shaped responses and
returns "" when the provider omits the field, so proxies that never send
finish_reason are unaffected.
Ported from earendil-works/pi commit 97fa14e39 (pi#7048), adapted to
hermes' abort-preserving compression failure machinery.
Tests: tests/agent/test_compressor_truncated_summary_guard.py (12 tests;
sabotage-verified — disabling the guards fails 4).
test_redaction_applied_to_incident_error asserted real redaction while
relying on the ambient HERMES_REDACT_SECRETS default. agent.redact
snapshots _REDACT_ENABLED at import time; when a co-collected module
(tests/cron/test_codex_execution_paths.py) imports the gateway chain at
COLLECTION time under a shell exporting HERMES_REDACT_SECRETS=false, the
snapshot freezes False before the conftest env scrub runs, and the test
fails only in full-directory runs. Pin the flag via monkeypatch like the
~30 other redaction tests do.
Bisect evidence: pytest tests/cron/test_codex_execution_paths.py
tests/cron/test_cron_incidents.py -k redaction_applied -> 1 failed on
main under HERMES_REDACT_SECRETS=false; passes with the pin.
hermes chat -q wired the interactive prompt_toolkit clarify callback
unconditionally, but a -q turn never builds the prompt_toolkit
application — the modal can never be painted or answered, so the turn
polls its response queue until agent.clarify_timeout expires (default
3600 s, 0 = unlimited). The gateway, cron jobs, the kanban dispatcher
and inter-agent wakeups all deliver work as -q turns. Route the
single-query case to a headless callback at the agent-construction site
that already knows _single_query_mode, mirroring _oneshot_clarify_callback
on the -z path (#94943; third member of the family after #86909 and
#88013).
Hardens the two #95003 alias carriers per review feedback on #95019/#95011:
- _alias_reserved_tools / _rename_tool_search_bridge_for_xai now return the
alias map THIS request emitted; the transport stashes it
(_last_wire_aliases) and normalize_response reverses ONLY those aliases.
A real user/plugin/MCP tool named hermes_tool_search is never silently
dispatched as tool_search when no alias was sent.
- Collision safety: if a real tool already occupies the alias name, the
bridge takes hermes_tool_search_2/_3 — no duplicate wire declarations.
- Legacy static reverse map retained only for normalize-only call sites
that never built a request on the transport instance.
- chat_completion_helpers resets provenance per request so stale maps from
a prior request can't leak into the next response's dispatch.
