docs/ was not the documentation site; it was a grab bag of long-form
design notes, wire contracts and observability guides that landed with
feature PRs because their authors needed somewhere to put them. Root
AGENTS.md already says long-form dev docs live in
website/docs/developer-guide/; this moves the 14 living documents there
(or to the matching user-guide section) so they are published, searchable
and linked from the sidebar instead of being found by grep only.
Developer guide: micro-compaction, gateway-session-lifecycle (was
session-lifecycle), state-db-recovery, multiplexing-gateway,
chronos-managed-cron-contract, relay-connector-contract, observer-hooks
(was observability/README), gateway-monitoring (observability/monitoring),
relay-shared-metrics, middleware, streaming-tts, billing-lifecycle.
User guide: egress/network-isolation (was security/network-egress-
isolation), features/kanban-multi-gateway (was kanban/multi-gateway).
Each page got title/description frontmatter and a sidebar entry; repo-
relative links became site links or GitHub blob URLs; two MDX brace
hazards escaped. Every in-tree pointer (module docstrings, config
comments, the relay conformance test's Path, the monitoring-doc test,
gateway-internals, cron-internals, kanban docs, .dockerignore, AGENTS.md)
now names the new location. `docusaurus build` passes with no unresolved
links on the moved pages.
dingtalk _extra_get, mattermost _extra_or_env and slack _extra_or_env_flag/_channel_set fell
through to env only on None, so `allowed_channels: ""` / `free_response_channels: ""` meant
"no whitelist" rather than "use the env CSV". The shared reader treated blank as unset and
silently widened those to the env value. New `blank_is_unset=False` knob restores the old
semantics at those seven call sites; the default (blank = unset) stays for the readers whose
old body was `extra.get(k) or env`.
WeComAdapter mixed in OwnAccessPolicyMixin without ALLOW_ALL_ENV_PREFIX, so
_allow_all_env_names() read "_ALLOW_ALL_USERS" and every open-DM WeCom deployment
(setup still writes WECOM_ALLOW_ALL_USERS) silently denied all DMs.
- WeComAdapter.ALLOW_ALL_ENV_PREFIX = "WECOM"
- OwnAccessPolicyMixin.__init_subclass__ raises TypeError on an empty prefix so the
omission cannot ship again (every other host already sets one).
- Parity test now runs a third matrix row that sets each host's own
<PREFIX>_ALLOW_ALL_USERS; the GATEWAY-only row is why this slipped through.
Sabotage: prefix removed -> [platform] row fails even with the guard reverted.
Scoped secrets — `gateway.platforms._shared.get_scoped_secret` is the single implementation of
the "scope authoritative, unscoped default-profile falls back to os.environ" read:
- plugins/platforms/buzz/adapter.py::_get_scoped_secret (113 LOC, ~100 of which were one
docstring paragraph pasted 16x) -> 3-line forwarder over the canonical with
`external_fallback=True`. Its one genuine extra rung (one-shot profile-scope build so a
Bitwarden-managed key is visible to the startup gate, #95216) moves into `_shared` as that
keyword plus `_unscoped_profile_secrets`.
- weixin::_wx_secret, matrix::_startup_env_secret, the inline try/except copies in slack
(SLACK_APP_TOKEN) and telegram (TELEGRAM_WEBHOOK_SECRET/_URL) -> canonical.
- The "extra-first, then scoped env" reader written 11x under 6 names (weixin._extra_or_env,
bluebubbles/ntfy/photon/wecom `_setting`, dingtalk `_extra_get`, mattermost `_extra_or_env`,
slack `_extra_or_env_flag/_channel_set`, feishu closures) -> `_shared.extra_or_secret`.
- `authz_mixin._platform_gate_env` -> `_shared.platform_gate_env`; discord/telegram drop their
`_scoped_gate_env` twins; run.py / run_config_loaders.py / slack import it directly.
Boilerplate — three table-driven helpers in `_shared` replace the pasted docs template:
- `seed_extra_from_env(spec, home_env=)` replaces 8 `_env_enablement` bodies (buzz, google_chat,
irc, line, ntfy, photon, simplex, teams; raft is a one-liner and untouched).
- `apply_yaml_bridge(cfg, spec)` replaces 7 `_apply_yaml_config` bodies (buzz, dingtalk, feishu,
matrix, mattermost, slack, whatsapp); discord/telegram keep bespoke bridges (alias keys,
nested `platforms.*.extra`, generic-key exclusions). buzz and mattermost previously bypassed
`yaml_env_setter` with hand-rolled `os.environ` writes.
- `env_is_connected(*vars)` replaces 5 identical `_is_connected` (discord, homeassistant,
mattermost, slack, sms).
- 8 identity `_build_adapter` wrappers deleted; `adapter_factory=<Class>`.
Behavior change:
- buzz `_apply_yaml_config` returned None, so under multiplex a secondary Buzz profile got
neither env (correctly skipped) nor `extra` for relay_url/channels/allow_all_users/...; it now
seeds `extra` like every other hook. It also wrote reply_in_thread/reply_to_mode to the process
env even inside a secondary profile's scope (first-writer-wins leak, #80099 class); it no longer
does. BUZZ_POLL_INTERVAL is bridged through the same table.
- `home_channel.name` default when `<X>_HOME_CHANNEL_NAME` is unset is now the literal "Home" for
all plugins (irc/ntfy/buzz used the chat id; simplex/teams/photon/google_chat already used
"Home", as do the built-in platforms in gateway/config_env.py).
- weixin's non-secret tunables (send_chunk_*, rate_limit_circuit_*) now read through the scoped
reader instead of raw os.getenv — a secondary profile no longer inherits the default's values.
- `extra_or_secret` treats a blank string in extra as unset (falls to env) and an explicit False
as a real value, the strictest of the merged copies.
- slack `reaction_trigger_target` bridges via str(); `reaction_triggers` comma-joins any list-ish
value (was list/tuple/set only) — same env text for every real YAML shape.
Docs: website/docs/developer-guide/adding-platform-adapters.md (the template the copies were
pasted from) and gateway/platforms/ADDING_A_PLATFORM.md now show the helpers and the scoped
reader; gateway/AGENTS.md points at the one implementation.
Tests: tests/gateway/test_shared_platform_boilerplate.py — every plugin `_env_enablement`
reads only through the scoped getter (parametrized over the 8 plugins, spy on the seam, raw
`os.getenv`/`get_env_value` asserted untouched); buzz bridge seeds `extra` for a secondary
profile and still bridges env for the default; one home-name rule; extra_or_secret contract;
external_fallback rung. Existing tests repointed: tests/agent/test_secret_scope_tier1_migration.py,
tests/plugins/platforms/buzz/test_buzz_unscoped_requirement_gate.py.
Fourteen platform plugins hand-rolled the "already configured? Reconfigure? [y/N]"
gate at the top of interactive_setup (env check + info line + prompt_yes_no(..., False)),
with drifting wording ("X: already configured" vs "X is already configured." vs
"already enabled") and, for LINE and SimpleX, raw input() loops with their own
EOF/KeyboardInterrupt handling and no gate at all. Fixes to the gate (non-interactive
handling, wording, default) therefore reached only the core Telegram/BlueBubbles/webhook
wizards.
- hermes_cli/setup_platforms.py: `_declines_reconfigure` becomes the public
`declines_reconfigure(label, question, *env_vars)` (any-of env check, so Matrix's
token-or-password gate fits); `_save_prompted` becomes `save_prompted` alongside it.
No alias kept; the three core callers are updated.
- buzz, dingtalk, discord, feishu, google_chat, irc, matrix, mattermost, raft, slack,
teams, wecom: the hand-rolled gate is replaced by one `declines_reconfigure(...)` call;
post-decline extras (Discord allowlist nudge, Slack manifest refresh, Raft "Keeping"
line) stay local and unchanged.
- line, simplex: the raw input() loops move onto hermes_cli.cli_output.prompt (masked
for secrets, "" on Ctrl-C/EOF) and gain the shared gate on their primary env var.
Behavior change: the gate's info line is now uniformly "<Label>: already configured"
(DingTalk/Feishu/WeCom lose the trailing period + inline ID; Buzz/IRC/Google Chat/Raft/
Teams no longer echo the current value in that line). Feishu and WeCom now gate on the
app/bot ID alone instead of ID AND secret. LINE and SimpleX gain a "Reconfigure?" [y/N]
prompt when already configured; their prompts now honour HERMES_NONINTERACTIVE and print
via the CLI helpers instead of bare print(). Prompt defaults (No) are unchanged everywhere.
Not touched: WhatsApp's gate keys on WHATSAPP_ENABLED being truthy (a "false" value must
not count as configured), which the shared any-set gate cannot express — left hand-rolled.
Test: tests/plugins/platforms/test_interactive_setup_reconfigure_gate.py parametrized over
the 14 wizards — with the primary env var set and the user declining, each wizard must have
called declines_reconfigure with that var and returned without prompting or saving.
Sabotage: reverting mattermost's gate fails that row.
Six adapters defined their own `_cancel_task` and nine more inlined the same
cancel + suppress(CancelledError) + await block; five kept a hand-rolled TTL-dict
`_is_duplicate` next to the existing `helpers.MessageDeduplicator`; three carried a
`_bounded_put`. Each copy fixed the same bugs on its own schedule (self-cancel deadlock,
done-task re-await, eviction under load).
- `helpers.cancel_task`: None/done no-op, never awaits the current task, swallows the
task's own exception at teardown. Replaces qqbot/signal/yuanbao/buzz/photon/simplex
definitions and the inline copies in weixin, discord, email, irc, line, mattermost,
whatsapp and telegram.
- `helpers.MessageDeduplicator` replaces `_is_duplicate` in qqbot, ntfy, photon,
wecom_callback and LINE's `_MessageDeduplicator`; every site keeps its own
max_size/TTL (qqbot and ntfy 1000/300s, photon 4000/48h, wecom_callback 2000/300s,
LINE 1000/no TTL).
- `helpers.bounded_put` replaces photon/wecom/whatsapp_cloud copies; a re-put now
refreshes the key to the newest slot at every site.
- telegram gmail-triage scripts resolve under `get_hermes_home()` instead of a hard
`~/.hermes`, so profiles with HERMES_HOME set find them.
Not changed: `get_chat_info` stays `@abstractmethod` because
tests/gateway/test_relay_capability_surface.py locks the abstract set to exactly
{connect, disconnect, send, get_chat_info} as a cross-repo contract, so the ~17 no-op
overrides remain.
Behavior change: whatsapp_cloud `_bounded_put` was a pure FIFO (no refresh on re-put);
it now refreshes like the other two sites. Task cancellation at the migrated sites
swallows a task's terminal exception where a few copies previously only suppressed
CancelledError (all are shutdown/disconnect paths).
Matrix, WhatsApp Cloud and the TTS tool each ran their own ffmpeg argv for the same
speech-tuned libopus encode; they predate the shared helper and never migrated, so the
codec flags, timeout handling and error reporting drifted (matrix 48k/30s, whatsapp_cloud
async subprocess with no timeout and no `-ac 1`, tts an in-place sidecar repair).
`transcode_to_ogg_opus` gains `timeout=` and `output_path=` (sibling-file and in-place
writes go through a `.tmp.ogg` sidecar so a failed encode never truncates the source).
Deleted: matrix `_matrix_transcode_voice_to_ogg`, tts `_ffmpeg_transcode_to_opus`;
whatsapp_cloud `_convert_to_opus` keeps only its warn-once ffmpeg install hint and calls
the helper via `asyncio.to_thread`. Matrix and tts keep their 48k bitrate.
Behavior change: whatsapp_cloud transcodes now use mono (`-ac 1`), `-compression_level 10`
and a 60s timeout like every other voice bubble; a failed encode logs at WARNING for all
three sites (matrix previously DEBUG).
Weixin, WeCom, QQBot, WhatsApp (common + cloud) and Yuanbao's AccessPolicy each carried
their own `_open_dm_opted_in` / `_is_dm_allowed` / `_is_dm_intake_allowed` /
`_is_group_allowed`, differing only in the platform prefix of the allow-all env var and in
small drifts. The same "allow-all must be scoped / fail closed" fix has landed on this trio
at least four times; a shared rule means it lands once.
gateway/platforms/access_policy_mixin.py::OwnAccessPolicyMixin owns the predicates,
reads every env name through the scoped `get_scoped_secret` and exposes two hooks:
`_entry_matches` (platform allowlist matching) and `_live_dm_allow_from` (env-seeded
lists re-read live). `ALLOW_ALL_ENV_PREFIX` is the only per-adapter datum.
Retained overrides (behavior genuinely differs):
- whatsapp_cloud `_allow_all_env_names` adds WHATSAPP_CLOUD_ALLOW_ALL_USERS;
`_is_dm_allowed` keeps its bare-wa_id normalisation.
- whatsapp_common `_entry_matches` -> phone/LID alias matching; `_live_dm_allow_from`.
- wecom `_is_group_allowed(chat_id, sender_id)` adds the per-group sender allowlist on
top of the shared chat-level rule; `_entry_matches` strips `wecom:user:` prefixes.
- qqbot `_entry_matches` (case-insensitive, `*`).
- yuanbao `AccessPolicy.is_group_allowed`: `open` groups still require the allow-all
opt-in (no runner-side mention gate), so it wraps the shared rule.
Behavior change: Weixin `_is_dm_intake_allowed` now denies a blank/whitespace principal
(the other four already did; safe variant chosen). Weixin's inline group gate now goes
through `_is_group_allowed` with identical verdicts.
Photon forked BasePlatformAdapter._send_with_retry before three fixes landed there: the server's
retry_after is honoured over exponential backoff, a long server penalty (> 60s) returns a typed
failure instead of sleeping inline (#91969), and an exhausted rate-limited send no longer posts the
failure notice inside the flood penalty. The fork got none of them. Photon's two genuine differences
are now hooks on the base — `_send_retry_is_final(result)` (structured auth/target refusals are
returned as-is, no retry, no plain-text resend) and `_send_plain_fallback(...)` (no Markdown banner,
richlink() bypassed) — and the 42-line fork is deleted.
Slack's `_retry_after_from_exc` and Discord's `_extract_discord_retry_after` parsed the header by
hand and only understood the numeric form; both now call agent.retry_utils.parse_retry_after_seconds
(numeric or HTTP-date, either header casing). Discord keeps its `retry_after` attribute path, the
`X-RateLimit-Reset-After` fallback and the 1s floor.
Behavior change: Photon retries now add up to 1s of jitter to the backoff and honour a server
retry_after; Slack/Discord recognise an HTTP-date Retry-After they previously ignored.
20 `plugins/platforms/*/adapter.py::_standalone_send` paths (the out-of-process cron /
send_message delivery) built `{"error": f"... {e}"}` by hand — 83 literals. The exception text
of an httpx/aiohttp failure can carry the Authorization header, a signed URL or a response body
with the token in it, and that string became the tool result the model reads. Only sms went
through the redacting `tools.send_message_senders._error`; discord kept a private regex that
only knew `Authorization: Bot`.
`gateway.platforms._shared.send_error(message)` wraps that helper (agent.redact +
URL-secret scrub) and every standalone literal now goes through it, including the three
envelopes that carry extra keys (discord warnings, photon error_class/retryable, whatsapp's
`(None, err)` tuple). The sms and discord local wrappers are deleted. Telegram already
delegated to the core sender and is untouched.
Behavior change (security): vendor exception text in standalone-send failures is redacted
before reaching the model.
Nine surfaces (feishu, teams, slack, telegram, whatsapp_cloud, qqbot, matrix, discord, relay)
each re-derived the approval choice set — [Allow Once]; session + always unless smart-denied;
[Deny] — and four of them (discord, slack, teams, whatsapp_cloud) never adopted
base._format_exec_approval, so header/reason/smart-deny wording and truncation budgets drifted
per adapter. Three separate commits had to touch 5–9 adapters for one semantic fix.
BasePlatformAdapter.send_exec_approval now builds an ExecApprovalPrompt (shared text via
_format_exec_approval, shared `(label, choice, style)` rows via _exec_approval_actions) and
hands it to the `_send_exec_approval_prompt` hook. Each adapter keeps only its widget mapping
(~10–20 LOC); platform wording stays via the existing `_EA_*` class attrs, and a new
`_exec_approval_cmd_budget` hook lets Slack/Discord budget the command against their hard
message caps (3000-char section / 2000-char message) instead of computing it inline.
`_EA_REASON_BUDGET` covers Slack's 500 / Discord's 300 reason caps.
The runner used to detect button support by `hasattr(type(adapter), "send_exec_approval")`;
that is now true for every adapter, so `_renders_exec_approval_buttons` asks
`supports_exec_approval_buttons()` (hook overridden?) and keeps the duck-typed check for
non-BasePlatformAdapter classes.
Visible text changes (button semantics unchanged everywhere):
- Discord: the smart-deny line now follows the reason (was inside the header before the
fence); the truncation marker is "..." not "\n... [truncated]".
- Slack: smart-deny line follows the reason instead of the header.
- Teams: unchanged (same 2000-char preview, same smart-deny block).
- WhatsApp Cloud: identical text; body still capped at 1024.
- QQBot/relay: unchanged.
Eight adapters (discord, telegram, wecom, matrix, whatsapp, simplex, feishu, weixin) each kept a
copy of the delayed text-batch flush that base._enqueue_text_event schedules. Two correctness
fixes had landed in single copies only: Discord's asyncio.shield around the dispatch (#12444 —
a late chunk cancelling the flush task aborted the in-flight agent turn) and WeCom/Weixin's
synchronous task-identity check before the pop (a superseded task waking late popped the event
and the successor found nothing). The other adapters carried both bugs latent.
The base now owns `_flush_text_batch` with both fixes, plus the `_pending_text_batches` /
`_pending_text_batch_tasks` dicts and `_SPLIT_THRESHOLD` / delay attrs (defaults; adapters set
their own). Platform policy goes through three small hooks instead of a copied body:
`_text_batch_delay_for(pending)` (Telegram's fast/short tiers, WeCom's attachment-only wait),
`_pop_text_batch(key)` (Feishu's side count table) and `_dispatch_text_batch(event)` (Feishu's
per-chat lock). Telegram keeps its `_flush_buffered` body because its contract differs on
purpose — a cancel after the pop must hold-and-re-raise so teardown can stop a flush — and gains
the identity check there. Matrix's `_split_threshold` is renamed to the shared `_SPLIT_THRESHOLD`;
SimpleX exposes its single delay through the shared attr names.
`helpers.TextBatchAggregator` (zero users) sits inside the revert-scheduled PLUGIN-COMPAT block
and is left for that revert.
gateway.status.acquire_scoped_lock returns (acquired, existing_record). The irc, line and
buzz adapters tested `if not acquire_scoped_lock(...)`, and a non-empty tuple is always
truthy, so two profiles could drive one IRC nick / LINE channel / Buzz identity in
parallel. Route the three through BasePlatformAdapter._acquire_platform_lock (the seam
the other 8 adapters use), which unpacks the tuple, names the owning profile + PID in the
fatal error and honours the `--replace` takeover. Release goes through
_release_platform_lock; the private _lock_key bookkeeping is gone.
Error code changes from `lock_conflict` to `{scope}_lock` — both families are already
matched by gateway.restart.is_global_startup_conflict.
The buzz test mocked acquire_scoped_lock as a bare False, which masked the bug; it now
returns the real (False, record) contract, and irc/line gain the same conflict test.
The retained comment still claimed a scope-less multiplex caller could load an
OSS config; identity reads above it raise UnscopedSecretError first. Both the
comment and the regression test now say the same thing: callers are scoped, an
OSS profile whose scope lacks MEM0_API_KEY initializes, and a scope-less caller
is a spawn-site bug that raises.
read_json_or_empty returns {} for malformed JSON; returning that directly from
_load_config made a corrupt profile config.json yield an empty (silently
unconfigured) mapping where the pre-dedup loop kept walking to the legacy
file and then the env branch. Only a non-empty parsed object is now returned.
_finalize_all_traces called _get_langfuse(), which lazily BUILDS a client when the
launch-profile slot is empty. Under a multiplex gateway every turn runs scoped, so
only the per-home slots are populated; at exit (no scope) the credential read
raised UnscopedSecretError and the flush loop was skipped for every profile,
losing all pending traces. The finalizer now iterates the already-settled
clients (launch slot + per-home map) and never initializes. Test drives two
profiles under real home-override + secret scopes, then finalizes unscoped.
vertex, bedrock and copilot-acp each overrode ProviderProfile.fetch_models with an identical `return None`, and the overrides could not simply be deleted because the base implementation derives a URL from base_url and would GET e.g. bedrock-runtime.../models or acp://copilot/models. ProviderProfile now carries `supports_model_listing` (default True); the base fetch_models returns None before touching the network when it is False, and the three SDK/subprocess-backed profiles set it in their constructors instead of overriding. Separately, two catalog GETs still went through bare urllib.request.urlopen: commandcode's fetch_models and hermes_cli.models._fetch_ai_gateway_models (which sends the AI Gateway bearer). Both now use the redirect-safe open_credentialed_url path (_urlopen_model_catalog_request in models.py, also applied to the unauthenticated fetch_ai_gateway_models for consistency). This is a security behavior change: a cross-origin redirect from either endpoint no longer forwards the Authorization/attribution headers to the redirect target. The AI Gateway tests that patched the global urlopen are repointed at hermes_cli.models._urlopen_model_catalog_request (the seam tests/hermes_cli/test_models.py already uses), the commandcode test patches open_credentialed_url on the plugin module, and two invariant tests pin the no-network guard and the bearer routing.
Four chat_completions profiles (kimi-coding, deepseek, opencode-go's Kimi K2 and DeepSeek branches, actual) each hand-rolled the same extra_body.thinking / top-level reasoning_effort translation, and the copies had already drifted in small ways (kimi's `.get("enabled", True)`, deepseek's separate effort parsing). agent.reasoning_effort.thinking_toggle_extras is now the single implementation: the Moonshot default emits effort XOR toggle (both is an HTTP 400), and always_emit_toggle=True covers DeepSeek's contract where the toggle must ride on every request to dodge the reasoning_content echo trap. actual keeps its two contract-specific lines (reasoning_config None -> nothing; effort "none" -> disabled toggle plus reasoning_effort="none", which the relay accepts as a real level) and delegates the rest. ox_alpha_reasoning_extras moves alongside so opencode-free imports it like any other helper instead of reaching into the zen plugin's module through sys.modules and swallowing every exception into ({}, {}) - a failure there previously silently dropped the user's effort setting. No wire behavior changes; tests/plugins/model_providers/test_thinking_toggle_parity.py pins the XOR invariant across the matrix and zen/free parity.
The 6-line try/except copy of "load_config() or {}" (also in doctor_live and
kanban_decompose, hermes_cli lane) took a full deepcopy per tool call for a
dict that is only read. load_config_readonly already degrades to the
last-known-good / defaults on a broken file, so the outer except was
defense-in-depth around a path that does not raise. Behavior change: none.
Tests already patch tools._load_config by name and continue to pass.
Four bundled plugins wrapped get_hermes_home() in a try/except that fell back
to ~/.hermes on ImportError (a2a/protocol._hermes_home, photon/auth
._auth_json_path, google_chat adapter inline, openviking done in the previous
commit). A bundled plugin cannot lose hermes_constants -- each already imports
gateway.* / agent.* from the same tree -- so the fallback was dead code that
was also wrong on Windows (%LOCALAPPDATA%/hermes) and under a profile override.
telegram's gmail-triage verb path used Path.home()/".hermes" outright, ignoring
profiles. mem0/_oss_providers baked os.path.expanduser("~/.hermes/mem0_qdrant")
into VECTOR_PROVIDERS at import time, so the Qdrant default landed in the
user's ~/.hermes for every profile; the default is now a lazy callable resolved
by vector_default_config(provider_id) at setup time. a2a/security.py only
changes its import (it borrowed protocol._hermes_home).
Behavior change: on Windows and under profiles these paths now follow the
active HERMES_HOME (they were previously anchored to ~/.hermes in the impossible
fallback / at import time); the default-profile POSIX layout is unchanged.
Test: tests/plugins/test_plugin_paths_follow_profile.py asserts each resolver
(a2a conversations, photon auth.json, mem0 qdrant default, openviking log)
lands inside a HERMES_HOME ContextVar override; sabotage red for the mem0
import-time constant and the photon ~/.hermes fallback.
Three shims caught UnscopedSecretError and degraded to "" (mem0._scoped_env)
or to os.environ (langfuse._secret, azure_identity_adapter._scoped_env). Under
multiplex os.environ holds the DEFAULT profile's .env, so the langfuse/azure
fallback could ship another profile's keys, and the mem0 fallback silently
routed a mis-spawned turn's memories into the default profile's account. The
exception exists to surface exactly that spawn-site bug (agent/AGENTS.md:
never add environ fallthrough, never swallow it). All three now call
agent.secret_scope.get_secret directly: with a scope installed a miss returns
the default; single-profile deployments (multiplex off) still read the process
env inside get_secret; a scope-less multiplex caller raises.
Behavior change: a mis-spawned child under gateway.multiplex_profiles now
fails loud with UnscopedSecretError instead of running silently unauthenticated
/ on the default profile's identity. The #99121 contract (OSS mode needs no
MEM0_API_KEY in scope) is unchanged and its test now installs an empty profile
scope, which is the situation the issue described; a genuinely scope-less
caller is asserted to raise in a new test.
Tests: tests/plugins/test_scoped_secret_readers_fail_closed.py (scope wins over
environ; scope-less multiplex raises) for langfuse + azure, sabotage red when
the langfuse fallthrough is restored; tests/plugins/memory/test_mem0_v3.py::
test_load_config_fails_closed_without_scope_even_for_identity_settings,
sabotage red with a swallowing wrapper reinstated.
Six of eight memory providers spawned plain threading.Thread for prefetch/sync/
writer work. A plain thread starts with an EMPTY contextvars.Context, so under
multiplex profiles the worker resolved the DEFAULT profile's HERMES_HOME (and
fails closed on scoped secrets). honcho and hindsight had each noticed and
written their own copy_context() wrapper; core had a third in memory_manager.
One canonical pair now lives on the ABC module every provider already imports:
agent/memory_provider.py::ctx_bound / spawn_context_thread. memory_manager,
honcho, hindsight, mem0, retaindb, byterover, supermemory and openviking all use
it; the honcho and hindsight wrappers and memory_manager._ctx_bound are deleted.
Five "json.loads(path.read_text()) or {}" readers (mem0._read_mem0_json,
honcho client/oauth/cli _read_config, hindsight save_config/_load_config) fold
into utils.read_json_or_empty, the read half of every read-merge-atomic_json_write
sidecar store.
holographic.save_config was the only config.yaml writer in the tree that
bypassed hermes_cli.config.save_config: raw open("w") + yaml.dump with no config
lock, no managed-mode refusal, no atomic replace, and a swallowed exception. It
now calls save_config(..., merge_existing=True). Behavior change: a managed
install refuses the write (previously silently rewrote config.yaml); other
sections are deep-merged instead of round-tripped through a raw dump.
openviking._hermes_home_path guarded an impossible ImportError of
hermes_constants (the module already imports agent.*) with a ~/.hermes fallback
that is wrong on Windows and under profile overrides; it is replaced by
get_hermes_home() directly.
Tests: tests/plugins/memory/test_provider_threads_inherit_profile.py drives each
provider's real spawn path with a fake backend and asserts the thread sees the
spawner's HERMES_HOME override (sabotage: retaindb back on threading.Thread ->
red). tests/plugins/memory/test_holographic_save_config.py pins merge-with-
existing-sections and managed-mode refusal (sabotage: raw yaml.dump -> red).
Twelve modules each carried their own sqlite3.connect + PRAGMA + `with conn:`
stack. The #69567 fd-leak fix (a `with conn:` commits but never closes, so each
call leaked a connection and its WAL/SHM fds until GC) was pasted as code plus
docstring into six of them and hosted_room_policy_checkpoint never received
it; plugins/plugin_storage.plugin_db was the only production caller issuing a
raw `PRAGMA journal_mode=WAL`, bypassing the network-FS fallback, the
WAL-reset-bug gate and the never-live-downgrade invariant that
hermes_state_wal.apply_wal_with_fallback carries.
hermes_cli/sqlite_util.py (already home to add_column_if_missing/write_txn,
imported by cron, gateway and hermes_cli alike) gains `open_db(path, *,
db_label, busy_timeout_ms, wal, foreign_keys, synchronous_full, row_factory,
check_same_thread, wal_lock_retries, initialize)` and `transaction(conn,
immediate=)`; cron/ledger.py is deleted and hosted_rooms_common's
open_sqlite/connect/transaction become 1-3 line forwarders. Migrated:
agent/verification_evidence, cron/{executions,incidents,notepad,
delivery_queue}, gateway/{delivery_ledger,hosted_room_policy_checkpoint,
hosted_rooms_common (-> hosted_rooms, hosted_room_driver)}, hermes_cli/
projects_db, tools/async_delegation, plugins/plugin_storage.
Behavior changes (each module keeps its effective PRAGMA set otherwise):
- hosted_room_policy_checkpoint: connection now closed after every use and
on init failure (was leaked per call), busy_timeout PRAGMA set explicitly.
- projects_db: gains busy_timeout=5000 (was the sqlite3 default 5 s connect
timeout with no PRAGMA); explicit and observable.
- delivery_ledger / async_delegation: busy_timeout PRAGMA now mirrors the
10 s connect timeout they already had.
- plugin_storage.plugin_db: WAL through apply_wal_with_fallback (DELETE on
network filesystems / WAL-reset-vulnerable builds instead of raw WAL);
busy_timeout=5000.
- cron/incidents._redact_error: redact_sensitive_text(force=True) — the
error text is persisted to disk.
- delivery_ledger's private duplicate-column guard and the unguarded
`ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN` sites (shared_metrics, api_server_run_idempotency,
holographic store, kanban model_override) go through add_column_if_missing.
- hermes_state.py::_scrub_surrogates: dead byte-copy of
hermes_state_messages._scrub_surrogates (0 callers) deleted.
The a2a invariant test skipped any synthesized token the canonical
redactor itself let through, so a boundary/shape regression would have
passed silently. Every class scrubs today, so the escape hatch goes and
the soft ">= 50" count becomes the exact registry size.
The gateway body test still asserted a "[REDACTED]" fallback marker that
no longer exists; redact_for_egress masks via _mask_token ("***"), so
assert that alone. honcho oauth.py's `re` import became unused when its
private pattern list moved to the registry.
Six independent line-parsers with three different quoting/comment semantics
read the same .env files: tools/skills_tool.load_env (strip("\"'"), no inline
comments), hermes_cli/managed_scope._parse_env (same, no export, no BOM),
web_server_cron._profile_env_value (plain utf-8, no BOM), profile_cmd
._env_file_has_key, env_loader._env_keys_defined_in_dotenv (utf-8, so a BOM'd
first key stayed "\ufeffKEY" and the dashboard profile scrub missed line 1),
mem0/_setup._prompt_api_key (startswith scan, no quote strip). The boundary
parsers (scrub key set, skill secret capture) therefore disagreed with the
parser that installs the profile scope.
Now every one is a 1-3 line forwarder onto load_env_file, and
hermes_cli.config.load_env is memo over it (public signature unchanged).
_parse_env_value moves next to its only caller in secret_scope.
load_env_file gains the same latin-1 fallback env_loader uses to install
into os.environ, so a mis-encoded file yields the same key set on both sides.
Managed .env keeps its fail-LOUD contract (decode error logs and ignores the
file) instead of load_env_file's fail-soft {}.
Behavior change: managed .env, skills_tool and mem0 setup now honour
`export`, quoted-value escapes and inline comments the way the profile scope
does; web_server_cron and the dashboard scrub tolerate a BOM.
Invariant test: a BOM'd/export/quoted/commented .env yields the same key set
via load_hermes_dotenv (installer), load_env_file (scope) and
_env_keys_defined_in_dotenv (scrub); fails with the old scrub parser.
plugins/platforms/a2a/security.py::redact_outbound shipped text to a REMOTE peer
through 8 private regexes (sk-, sk-ant-, ghp_ only, xox[bap] only, AKIA, JWT,
Bearer, email) and never called redact_sensitive_text, so every prefix added to
agent/redact.py (hf_, glpat-, xapp-, npm_, Telegram bot tokens, private keys,
DB URLs, env assignments, auth headers, plugin-registered patterns) was absent
on the A2A path. gateway/run.py::_GATEWAY_SECRET_PATTERNS and
agent/monitoring/redaction.py::_TOKEN_RE/_BEARER_RE were two more parallel
"fallback" lists to maintain.
Now agent/redact.py::redact_for_egress is the one egress scrub:
redact_sensitive_text(force=True) + a bearer sweep for prefix-less opaque
tokens, fail-closed ("[redaction-unavailable]"). Gateway user-facing text,
monitoring export and A2A outbound call it; A2A keeps only its e-mail pass.
Behavior changes: a2a egress now masks the full canonical set; the gateway
chat path returns the fail-closed sentinel instead of a raw string when the
redactor raises; honcho plugin registers hch-at-/hch-rt- with
register_redaction_patterns (masked on every surface; mask shape is the
shared head/tail form instead of "hch-at-[redacted]"); proxy_cli token
display uses mask_secret (4 visible prefix chars instead of 12).
Invariant test: redact_outbound masks a synthesized token for every
registered prefix pattern (fails when reverted to the private list).
Each copy re-implemented temp+replace by hand and lacked one or more of
fsync, symlink preservation, atomic_replace's Windows-contention retry and
EXDEV/bind-mount fallback, mode preservation, or interrupt-safe temp
cleanup. Three (gateway/session_persistence, cron/suggestions,
agent/shell_hooks) were verbatim inlines of utils._atomic_write; two
modules defined their own directory-fsync helper, now utils.fsync_directory.
plugins/google_meet/_jsonfile.write_json_atomic is deleted (callers use the
canonical helper directly).
Behavior change: every one of these writers now fsyncs the payload, keeps a
pre-existing target's mode, cleans its temp file on BaseException, and
survives Windows AV/indexer contention and cross-device renames the way
config writes already did. cron/suggestions.json is 0600 from creation
(previously chmod'ed after the replace). Skipped on purpose: cron/jobs.py
two-phase staging, gateway/status._write_json_excl (create-only lock),
kanban_transfer staging (not atomic writers); tools/skill_usage.
_write_suppressed_names lives inside a PLUGIN-COMPAT block.
Ten hand-rolled "write a token file safely" routines each carried a
different subset of {0600-on-create, fsync, atomic_replace, parent-0700
guard, BaseException cleanup}. Two of them (iron_proxy state files,
the exchanged-JWT store) still opened the temp file at process umask
and chmod'ed afterwards - the exact TOCTOU window the others document
as fixed. None of the bare-os.replace copies got atomic_replace's
Windows-contention retry or EXDEV fallback.
utils gains fsync_dir= (absorbs auth.py's dir fsync), atomic_write_bytes
(vault blob) and mode= on atomic_write_text; the ten sites become 1-3
line callers. mkstemp creates the temp file O_EXCL at 0600 regardless of
umask, so the payload is never umask-readable.
Behavior change: iron_proxy proxy.yaml/mappings.json and the exchanged-JWT
store are now 0600 from creation and fsync'd; every credential write goes
through atomic_replace (symlink-preserving, Windows retry, EXDEV copy).
auth_nous shared store now uses atomic_replace too (it forced os.replace
with no recorded reason). secret_sources cache parent-0700 goes through
the guarded secure_parent_dir instead of an unguarded chmod.
The Matrix docs described six agent-exposed matrix_* tools and three MATRIX_TOOLS_ALLOW_* env gates that were never implemented — the tool names and gates appear nowhere in code. Docs now describe actual behavior: no Matrix-specific agent tools; reactions/redactions are internal to approval prompts and pickers; MATRIX_ALLOWED_ROOMS scopes responses. Fixes#100535.
Slack deprecates the Assistant messaging experience (assistant_view) in
February 2027: assistant.threads.setStatus/setTitle are replaced by
agents.sessions.setStatus/rename. slack-sdk 3.44.0 (Aug 27 2026) ships
the typed methods with drop-in-compatible signatures.
- adapter: capability probe on the AsyncWebClient CLASS (never instance —
mock auto-attributes lie), cached; status set/clear + thread title route
through agents.sessions.* when available, legacy otherwise
- pins: slack-sdk 3.43.0 -> 3.44.0 (pyproject messaging+slack extras,
lazy_deps, uv.lock)
- tests: autouse fixture pins the probe to legacy under the mocked SDK;
5 new tests cover both routing paths for typing, clear, and title
- docs: slack.md scope table + status-line notes mention both methods
fal launched H3 Max Turbo on Sep 3 (minimax/h3-max-turbo/{text,image}-to-video):
a throughput-tuned post-train of H3 Max with a 1080P tier Max lacks, at
$0.025/s 480p / $0.04/s 768p / $0.08/s 1080p list ($0.00625-0.02/s promo until
Sep 14). Schema matches Max's shape — required prompt_expansion_mode static
key, int duration 5-15, seed on both endpoints, i2v drops aspect_ratio — plus
the new 1080P resolution enum, so it reuses the existing family capability
flags with a Turbo-specific resolution alias map.
Schema verified against the FAL queue OpenAPI for both endpoints. Live E2E
blocked by the FAL account balance lock (403 "Exhausted balance"); portal
allowlist/pricing needed for managed users on the 2 new endpoints.
Port from openclaw/openclaw#140531: users paste the application ID from the
Developer Portal's General Information page instead of the bot token (Bot
page); the gateway then fails at runtime with an opaque 401. A real bot token
is dot-separated base64 and never purely numeric, so the setup wizard now
rejects an all-digit answer with pointed guidance and re-prompts once. A
second consecutive numeric answer is kept (user override), and non-numeric
tokens are saved exactly as before.
Adapted to hermes: the guard lives in the Discord plugin's interactive_setup
(the active setup path per the #9983 review — legacy _setup_standard_platform
is not the dispatch target), mirroring the existing Telegram token-shape
validation in hermes_cli/setup_platforms.py.
The deepseek plugin is bundled and always loads, so the try/except around
the delegation import was defense-in-depth for a path that cannot fail.
Tests reduced to the two contracts that matter: /reasoning none reaches
the wire as thinking.disabled, and DeepSeek ids produce exactly the native
DeepSeek profile's output while non-DeepSeek families stay a no-op.
The bundled-plugin loader pops half-registered modules when a plugin
fails to load, so the lazy 'from plugins.model_providers.deepseek import
deepseek' could raise ImportError on every DeepSeek-routed CommandCode
turn — turning the soft 'thinking uncontrollable' bug into a hard
crash. Catch ImportError, log, and return the pre-fix no-op (review
feedback on #95241).
CommandCode fronts DeepSeek with vendor-prefixed ids
(deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash). DeepSeek V4+ defaults to thinking mode
when the thinking field is omitted, so /reasoning none changed the
Hermes session state but not the actual request -- the turn sat in
reflecting.../brainstorming... for minutes (#95232). Strip the vendor
prefix for DeepSeek-family ids and delegate to the native DeepSeek
profile's build_api_kwargs_extras (extra_body.thinking +
reasoning_effort mapping); other CommandCode model families keep the
base no-op behavior. The prior no-op tests codified the bug and are
rewritten to pin the new contract.
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.
send_document() accepted reply_to but never passed it down, so attachments
always threaded from the cached per-address context (or not at all) even
when the caller named the message to reply to. The plain-text path
(_send_email) already honored it; the attachment path now does too.
The metadata half of #10131 (send_image rejecting metadata=) was already
fixed on main by the adapter parity pass. Diagnosis from #10131 and the
explicit-reply_to-wins shape from PR #10321 (which targeted the
pre-plugin path).

Text and media batching advance the coalesced MessageEvent.message_id to
the newest message but left source.message_id at the first one, so after
a batch the reply anchor and the event id disagreed. Advance both together
at the two enqueue sites.
Same bug class as the Slack/Feishu picks: buzz, dingtalk, email, google_chat,
line, ntfy, photon, sms, teams, wecom and whatsapp already had the platform
message id on the MessageEvent but built the SessionSource without it, so
source.message_id consumers (reply anchor in run.py, /sethome synthetic-thread
check, relay _event_ids fallback, shutdown notice anchor) saw None. Only sites
where the id variable was already in scope are widened.
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.
Direction from PR #7064 (@bixycler), the earliest of #7064 / #9611 / #15574,
redone against current main.

`_render_text_element` ran every inbound post text element through
`_escape_markdown_text`, so a user's `` `print('hi')` `` reached the model as
`` \`print\('hi'\)\` ``. The agent echoed those backslashes in its reply and
Feishu's `md` renderer then showed literal `\*\*bold\*\*` instead of bold.
Post elements carry raw text plus separate style flags; the style wrappers
already rebuild the markdown, so the text itself is passed through untouched.
The outbound path never escaped. Mentions/emoji labels keep their escaping.

Review findings on #109139 (the "aeskey half is already on main" claim was
wrong): `_decrypt_file_bytes` restored base64 padding but the key was never
percent-decoded, so `%2F`/`%3D` keys failed to decrypt and `_cache_media`
returned None. And `_store_media` received the CDN's `application/octet-stream`
as the image MIME, which the gateway image classifier rejects even with the
corrected `.png` name.
Decode the key once at the payload boundary; for images forward the response
MIME only when it is `image/*`, otherwise derive it from the resolved
extension. Covered by one end-to-end test through `_cache_media` (red on the
previous head).
WeCom's CDN returns `content-type: application/octet-stream` for images.
`mimetypes.guess_extension` maps that to ".bin", a truthy value that
short-circuited `_guess_extension()` before the magic-byte detector ran, so
every inbound image was cached as `img_*.bin`.
Treat ".bin" as "unknown" so the URL suffix / magic-byte fallback decides.
The second half of the report (URL-encoded, unpadded `aeskey`) is already
handled on main by `_decrypt_file_bytes`.
Salvage of PR #10187 by @nightq onto `plugins/platforms/wecom/media.py`.
Fixes#10085
The version-less canonical Flash id is not matched by _is_deepseek_thinking_model, so agent.reasoning_effort and every auxiliary reasoning_effort were silently dropped on the OpenCode Go relay while the direct provider was fixed (8435a3ae00/aeecb110f8). Match it through a version-less id set, mirroring plugins/model-providers/deepseek. Verified against the Go relay: named levels are graded (low 906 / high 1371 / max >=2500 reasoning tokens on a multi-step prompt) and integer efforts are rejected, so the named level is the knob to send.
_truncate_for_sync documents "the last sentence boundary within max_len", but it
looped over separator KINDS and returned on the first kind that qualified. An early
"。" therefore outranked a "." 240 characters later, and in pure ASCII "." outranked
a later "!" or "?" purely because it comes first in the tuple.
With the 450-char default, "a"*200 + "。" + "b"*240 + "." + "c"*100 kept 201 of the
442 characters available: 241 characters the embedder would have accepted were
discarded, so any fact in the second half of the turn never reached extraction. The
add() call succeeds, so unlike #106235 nothing is logged — the turn is simply
remembered from its first sentence. Raising sync_max_chars widens the gap rather
than closing it.
Take the max over every separator instead, from a named tuple so the set is not
buried in the loop. ".\n" is dropped: its index can never exceed the bare "." it
starts with, so under a max it is unreachable. The first-third guard and the hard-cut
fallback for unsegmented input are unchanged.
Fixes#108868
