Teknium 08830efd96 fix(secrets): secret-source re-pull no longer latches an empty snapshot or wipes sibling profiles
Symptom (#102041): under a multiplex gateway the default profile's vault/1Password/
Bitwarden/plugin-sourced credentials vanished for the rest of the process after the first
cron fire or the post-discovery plugin refresh; with the key already in the process env
(systemd EnvironmentFile=) the scope was empty from boot. Every get_secret() read then
failed closed ("No usable credentials", every Telegram sender rejected).

Why: _apply_external_secret_sources marked the home applied after any real fetch, but only
snapshotted names in report.provenance — the NEWLY applied ones. On a re-apply the previous
apply's own write-back makes every key `skipped_existing`, so the snapshot latched to {} and
_hydrate_profile_secret_sources returned that empty snapshot forever. Separately,
reset_secret_source_cache() was process-wide, so one profile's cron re-pull dropped every
sibling's hydrated snapshot (1aa62ceb45 isolated the routed reload but not the reset).

Change:
- env_loader: snapshot every name a source supplied (provenance + skipped_existing) from
  the home's effective environment, so a shadowed re-apply keeps the values it had.
- reset_secret_source_cache(hermes_home=None): optional per-home reset; global clear kept
  for tests/config edits.
- cron per-fire re-pull and plugins._refresh_secret_sources_after_discovery reset + reload
  only the home they resolve to.
- Two invariant tests (red on base) in tests/test_env_loader_secret_sources.py; docs note in
  secret-source-plugin.md.

Teknium 2b4deeb32b fix(auth): key sibling per-process credential memos by profile home under multiplex
Same class as the resolve_nous_access_token memo: three more process-wide
memos carried a credential resolved under one profile's HERMES_HOME override
into another profile's turn for their TTL.

- hermes_cli/nous_billing.py::_token_cache (30s (token, base) memo for the
  charge poll loop) was a single unkeyed slot -> dict keyed by
  hermes_home_key(); invalidate_cached_token() clears the dict.
- agent/moa_loop.py::_runtime_cache carried api_key/base_url/api_mode keyed
  only (provider, model) for 5 min -> (hermes_home_key(), provider, model).
- agent/auxiliary_client.py::_client_cache_key had no profile component, so
  callers that omit api_key (pool / Nous auth.json paths) could be handed a
  client built with another profile's bearer -> hermes_home_key() leads the key.

WHY hermes_home_key(): it reads the per-turn HERMES_HOME override the
multiplex gateway sets (falling back to the env var), and it is
symlink-stable, so the memo key is exactly the credential home the
resolution itself read from. Profiles stay independent islands; the
default-profile process env never leaks into a secondary's turn.

Tests: one invariant per site, proven red on origin/main.

pierrenode 173105ce6f fix(auth): scope the resolve_nous_access_token memo to the active profile
resolve_nous_access_token()'s 5s startup-burst memo (#76930) cached the
resolved Nous Portal access token in a single module-level slot keyed
by nothing but wall-clock time. The underlying resolution is
profile-scoped: _auth_file_path() reads get_hermes_home(), which
checks the context-local _HERMES_HOME_OVERRIDE ContextVar before
falling back to the HERMES_HOME env var — gateway/run.py and
tui_gateway/server.py set that override per-profile for multiplex
concurrency.

In a multiplex gateway serving two profiles with different
authenticated Nous accounts, if profile A's context resolves a token
and profile B's context calls resolve_nous_access_token() within the
next 5 seconds, profile B received profile A's cached token — used to
authenticate against the managed tool gateway / relay self-provisioning
under the wrong account.

Key the memo by str(get_hermes_home()) instead of a single slot, so
each profile's context reads only its own cached token. The lock
around read/write is unchanged; only the cache's shape moved from a
single (timestamp, token) tuple to a dict keyed by resolved home.

Siddharth Balyan 4bdd64b334 The free tier is created in one place, at boot, only behind HERMES_GUEST_ONBOARDING=1 (NS-847) (#107697)
* fix(auth): close the free tier's gaps against the gateway's welcome-tier contract

The inference gateway's welcome tier (NousResearch/api DOCS/anon-tier/plan.md) serves an
anonymous account exactly one model on its own host, refuses everything else with a structured
429, cross-refuses a request on the wrong host with a 400 (403 while the tier is dark), and
tells a signed-in account that still asks for `nous/welcome` what to switch to in an
`x-nous-model-switch` header. Four client-side gaps against that contract:

- Auxiliary calls were refused on every session. The auxiliary client asked the welcome host
  for the Portal's recommended compaction/vision model, a guaranteed 429 `model_not_free`
  before each fallback. On the welcome host it now uses `nous/welcome` (its backing model
  covers auxiliary work) and skips Nous for vision, which the welcome model does not take.

- The structured 429 body was never read. The classifier now parses `reason` /
  `retry_after` / `alternates` / `upgrade_url`: `model_not_free` and `feature_not_free` are
  non-retryable gates that fall back; `at_capacity`, `admission_closed` and `rate_limited`
  are rate limits that honour `retry_after` and never rotate the free tier's only credential.
  The wrong-host 400 and the dark-tier 403 are deterministic, so they abort this route and
  fall back instead of retrying or re-exchanging. The terminal paths say what happened and
  name the sign-in (`/login` in a chat, `hermes auth upgrade` in a terminal).

- The `x-nous-model-switch` header was ignored. The chat-completions transport records it
  beside the rate-limit and credits headers; the next call moves the session, and the config
  default when it still names `nous/welcome`, to the backing model the gateway named.

- A guest fell back to the paid host. With `inference_base_url` absent from the exchange or
  outside the host allowlist, routing defaulted to inference-api, where every request is a
  400. A guest now defaults to the welcome literal at the exchange, in the shared store's
  shape, and in effective routing.

* feat(auth): the free tier is set up on request; nous.guest_setup decides whether also on first use

A caller that names nous/welcome on a Nous route with no Nous identity in reach — the guided
setup's session (provider=nous, which skips the resolver's nothing-configured rung), the free-tier
picker row, a bare --provider nous pointed at it — is asking for the free tier. The OAuth runtime
rung now sets it up there instead of failing "not logged in", so the guided chat no longer races
the root profile's first-run mint.

nous.guest_setup is the policy seam: "auto" (default) keeps today's first-use setup wherever
nothing else is configured; "on-request" mints only when the free tier is asked for by name
(nous/welcome, /login, hermes auth upgrade, replacing a retired identity). Implicit callers —
the resolver's last rung, the first-run check, free_tier.status, the CLI's background setup, the
connector token path — still adopt what the shared store holds, so every profile follows the one
identity the guided setup created, but never create one on their own.

* feat(auth): the guided setup provisions the free tier explicitly; nous.guest_setup is auto | explicit

Two questions govern the free tier: may it exist (nous.guest) and who may CREATE the identity
(nous.guest_setup). "auto" (default) keeps today's first-use setup wherever nothing else is
configured. "explicit" means Hermes never creates one on its own: the only creator is the new
provision_free_tier() primitive, exposed as the free_tier.provision RPC, which the guided setup
on Hermes Desktop calls as its first step — on the root gateway, before the setup profile and
before the guided chat exists — so the identity lands in the root store every profile reads
through and is there before any session asks for nous/welcome. That closes the race against the
backend's own setup, and makes "only when the setup-bot flow is used" literally true.

The earlier "on-request" tier is replaced: it minted whenever any caller named nous/welcome
(the hermes model row, --provider nous), which treated a model name as intent and was broader
than the guided setup. Under "explicit" a nous/welcome request with no identity fails "not
logged in" as before the free tier existed, and /login or hermes auth upgrade report nothing to
sign in from. Implicit callers still adopt an identity the shared store holds, and a retired
credential is replaced (a continuation, not a creation).

* fix(auth): remove the nous.guest_setup knob; the free tier is created on first use

`nous.guest_setup: auto | explicit` decided who may CREATE the free-tier identity. Under its
default every line it added was inert (`may_mint` always true), nothing in tree set `explicit`,
unknown values read as `auto`, and under `explicit` a CLI-only install could never get an
identity, which contradicts the first-run contract (first command mints, then chats).

The mint race the knob accompanied is already benign: every caller takes the profile lock then
the shared-store lock, and the loser adopts what the winner wrote. What makes the guided setup
win deterministically is `provision_free_tier()` behind the `free_tier.provision` RPC, which
stays. `nous.guest` remains the only free-tier policy.

Removed: `guest_setup_policy()` and its constants, the `explicit=` / `may_mint=` threading through
`ensure_portal_identity` and `_reconcile_and_provision`, the flag at the three replacement call
sites (now no-ops), the config default, the docs section, and the four `guest_setup` test-config
entries. The three policy tests that hold regardless of the knob are kept under
`TestExplicitProvision`; the two that only tested the knob are deleted.

* fix(gateway): a server-driven model switch off nous/welcome does not evict the cached agent

When a signed-in account still asks the paid host for `nous/welcome`, the inference gateway
serves the current backing model and names it in `x-nous-model-switch`. `apply_model_switch`
moves the live session to that model and moves `config.yaml`'s default off the alias in the
same step. The messaging gateway's fallback-eviction check compares the agent's model with the
config default and evicts on any mismatch that is not a /model override, so when the config
write did not land (unreadable config, lock) the cached agent was evicted once per turn, and
prompt caching with it.

`apply_model_switch` now stamps the alias it moved the session off on the agent, and
`_is_intentional_model_switch` treats "agent moved off the alias the config still carries" as
deliberate, beside the existing /model override case. The check takes the agent and the config
model instead of a bare model string; its one caller in `_run_agent_evict_on_fallback` passes them.

* fix(auth): the free tier outranks implicit host credentials in provider resolution

On a fresh install with a leftover ~/.aws profile, resolve_provider("auto")
reached the Bedrock rung before the free-tier rung, so the first turn ran on
Bedrock and failed 403 while the free tier was still being minted in the
background at agent setup (NS-829). Live on a Mac with ~/.aws present: 28 s,
three retries, no answer; the next process then switched to nous/welcome.

The free-tier rung now sits directly above the Bedrock chain: when nous.guest
is on, an existing free-tier identity answers, else a blocking mint runs, and
only then does the boto chain get a say. Everything above is unchanged and
still wins: CLI creds, config.yaml model.provider, env keys, the OpenRouter
pool, a logged-in active_provider. nous.guest: false skips the rung, and a
failed mint still falls through to Bedrock and the no-provider guidance.

Tests: six precedence cases (identity present, fresh mint, free tier off, env
key still wins, sign-in still wins, failed mint falls through). The opt-out
test now neutralizes the AWS chain like the precedence tests do; on a machine
with ~/.aws it was failing for the same reason as the bug.

Live after the fix, same Mac, AWS credentials visible, isolated shared store:
identity minted 2 s in, turn on model=nous/welcome provider=nous, answer in
11 s.

* fix(auth): review follow-ups for the free-tier rung (NS-829)

- tests/agent/test_bedrock_integration.py: the Bedrock auto-detect test switches
  the free tier off; its contract is the boto chain, and the free tier now
  sits above it.
- gateway/run_notifications.py: the free-tier startup line reads auth.json
  before consulting the resolver, so a gateway boot on a machine with AWS
  credentials never mints or refreshes over the network.
- hermes_cli/anon_auth.py: module docstring says where the free tier sits in
  the ladder instead of "the ladder is untouched".
- tests/hermes_cli/test_provider_precedence.py: two invariant tests instead of
  six (parametrized ladder cases; a failed mint that returns None or raises
  falls through to Bedrock).

scripts/run_tests.sh on the five affected files: 147 passed, 0 failed.

* feat(auth): HERMES_GUEST_ONBOARDING=1 is the one launch gate for the free tier; HERMES_FORCE_GUEST is gone

The free tier is pre-GA. Until GA it must not exist for anyone who did not
ask for it: no identity minted, no portal traffic, no free-tier copy on any
surface. One environment variable now decides that, and one function reads it.

`guest_enabled()` returns False unless `HERMES_GUEST_ONBOARDING` is exactly
"1"; only then does `nous.guest` (the user's off switch) get consulted. Every
free-tier site already funnels through `guest_enabled()`, so the gate closes
minting, routing, connector entitlement, status lines and the picker row in
one place. With the variable unset, `resolve_provider("auto")` on a fresh
install raises `no_provider_configured` exactly as upstream does.

`HERMES_FORCE_GUEST` and `force_guest_mode()` are removed. They inverted the
gate (forced the tier ON over `nous.guest: false`), their "new" value re-minted
identities as a side effect of provider resolution, and `_has_any_provider_
configured` read them ahead of every other check, making the CLI a second
reader of a flag that must have exactly one. `_forced_new_done` and the
`force` parameter of `_reconcile_and_provision` go with them.

Supersedes the dev lever introduced in fcf9d11679 (rung 1) and hardened in
b5c162c3ec. Ruling: NS-845 Q1.1 (recorded on NS-847).

Not a user preference: the variable is never written to config.yaml or .env
and never shown in setup. It is deleted at GA together with its comment in
anon_auth.py. This is a deliberate, temporary exception to the "no new
HERMES_* env vars for non-secret config" rule.

Tests: fixtures set the gate instead of deleting the old lever; one new
invariant (`test_launch_gate_off_means_no_free_tier_at_all`) proves that "",
"0", "true" and "new" all leave the tier off with zero portal calls, red on the
previous commit. The `HERMES_FORCE_GUEST=new` re-mint test is deleted with the
feature.

* feat(auth): the free-tier identity is created in one place, at boot; every other site is a read

Before this commit eight sites could create a Nous free-tier identity as a
side effect of something else: resolving a provider, the CLI's first-run
check, the CLI's session setup (in the background beside an own key), a
connector bearer read, the desktop polling `free_tier.status`, the sign-in
precondition, the desktop's `free_tier.provision`, and the dead-credential
re-mint. A poll could mint. Provider resolution could hit the network. Two
of them raced each other on a fresh install.

Now `hermes_cli/free_tier_bootstrap.py::run_bootstrap` is the only creator.
`hermes serve` runs it on a daemon thread from `_lifespan` beside the other
background boots; `cmd_chat` runs it synchronously before the first-run
guard. It inventories credentials first (`resolve_provider("auto",
skip_free_tier=True)`: what would carry inference if the free tier did not
exist), creates the identity only when `guest_enabled()`, resolves inference,
records a `SetupRecord` in process memory and broadcasts ONE `setup.ready`
event. It runs on every boot; only the mint is gated.

`ensure_portal_identity` now requires `explicit=True` and raises otherwise.
Its callers are the bootstrap, the desktop's `free_tier.provision` (the
explicit retry when the boot could not create the identity) and the two
dead-credential replacements (`auth_nous.resolve_nous_runtime_credentials`,
`managed_tool_gateway._replace_dead_guest_token`). The background thread
path and `provision_free_tier` are deleted with their last callers.

Reads that used to mint and now only read: `auth.py::resolve_provider`
rung 7 (an existing identity still outranks the Bedrock chain, NS-829
ordering kept), `main.py::_has_any_provider_configured`,
`cli_agent_setup_mixin._ensure_runtime_credentials`,
`managed_tool_gateway.read_nous_access_token` (no identity -> None),
`anon_sign_in.run_sign_in` (no identity -> Unavailable),
`methods_free_tier` `free_tier.status`.

`setup.status` answers from the record for the launch profile, blocking up
to 8 s while the bootstrap is in flight so a client's first poll lands after
the identity exists rather than racing it; a named profile, or a process
that never ran the bootstrap, keeps today's live probe. The record's fields
ride along additively (`ready`, `free_tier`, `other_providers`,
`inference_provider`).

Identity and inference are decoupled (NS-845 Q1.3): the mint sets
`active_provider="nous"` only when the inventory found nothing else usable
(`_mint_locked(carries_inference=)`); an adopted account always does. A token
refresh no longer re-elects the provider it refreshed
(`_save_provider_state_to_source` writes credentials, not the user's
choice) — that write was how an own-key install ended up on the free tier
after the first connector call.

Supersedes the mint sites in fcf9d11679, a42d0748fc (first-run check),
bbbaa8935a (CLI background setup), 0179efc989 (`free_tier.status` mint),
62ad1ff3ab / c63d2c935c / d8a50526d9 (the `nous.guest_setup` knob and
`provision_free_tier`), and a04b05260c (blocking mint in the resolver).
Ruling: NS-845 Q1.2 + Q1.3, recorded on NS-847.

Tests: `TestBootstrapIsTheOneCreator` (one mint per process; own key keeps
inference; reads never reach the portal; a refused mint is memoised),
`free_tier.status` fails loudly if it ever calls the creator, the resolver
stub fails loudly if resolution ever mints, `setup.status` reads the record,
`skip_free_tier` proves the inventory question. The three sign-in tests for
the deleted pre-mint collapse into one (`no identity -> Unavailable, zero
portal calls`). Live: real `_lifespan` boot with a fake portal, gate on and
off (/tmp/ns847-recon/evidence/e2e-rung5-c2-serve-boot.txt), and the CLI
matrix incl. an own-key cell (e2e-rung5-c2-bootstrap.txt), 20/20.

* fix(credits): the welcome host is free-tier evidence, so a free-tier identity never sees "run /topup"

A free-tier identity carries $0 by design, so the portal seed reports
`paid_access=False` for it. `is_free_tier_model` did not know the welcome
host, read that as a depleted account, and every free-tier turn ended with
the credits-depleted notice telling the user to top up an account they do
not have.

Rule (4) in `is_free_tier_model`: a `base_url` on the Nous welcome host
(`anon_auth.route_is_welcome_host`) is the free tier. The host is the
evidence, not the model name: the paid inference host can serve
`nous/welcome` to a named account and that account's depletion is real, so
`("nous/welcome", <inference host>)` stays False. Local data only, like the
three rules above it.

Restores the two contracts dropped by hermes-magic 674e11d1eaa (the
prototype line ran without unit tests): the welcome host is free without
any pricing evidence; the model name alone is not. The first is red without
this fix.

* fix(copy): free-tier text stops promising a connector transfer and never names the config key

Sign-in copy on every surface said "Sign in to keep your connectors" and
ended with "Your connectors are kept." The transfer registry that would
make that true is empty (NS-821): nothing carries over today. The copy now
says what signing in does give ("unlock more models and tools") and the
completion line names the account, not a transfer. The docs page loses the
"connectors carry over" paragraph for the same reason.

The picker's off-state line exposed `nous.guest: false` and the word
"guest"; user copy names the free tier only (R-USR-1).

The docs page gains the pre-rollout note: until GA nothing on it happens
without `HERMES_GUEST_ONBOARDING=1`. Its "first command mints" and
"replaced on next use" sentences now describe the boot bootstrap.

zh is a strict locale: the `freeTier` block was English placeholder text
copied from `en`; it is now Chinese. `connectorsKept` is renamed
`completedBody` since it no longer talks about connectors.

* feat(desktop): the free-tier launch flag is decided once in Electron and stamped onto every backend spawn

The Python backend reads `HERMES_GUEST_ONBOARDING` and treats exactly "1"
as on. Until now nothing in the desktop set it, so a packaged app could
never turn the free tier on, and a backend spawned by the app could
disagree with the app about whether the tier was live.

`electron/guest-onboarding.ts` owns the decision: `guestOnboardingEnabled`
is true when the launch env has `HERMES_GUEST_ONBOARDING=1` or argv has
`--guest-onboarding` (the packaged-app spelling). It is read ONCE at launch
into a module constant. `desktopBackendSpawnEnv` wraps every backend env
as the outermost call and writes the flag LAST, as "1" or an explicit "0",
so no earlier spread (`process.env`, `backend.env`) can resurrect a stray
value from the parent shell.

Stamped onto all three spawn sites: the primary `serve` spawn, the pooled
per-profile spawn, and the remote SSH `exec env ...` command (which gains
` HERMES_GUEST_ONBOARDING=1` only when on). The embedded terminal PTY and
the backend probes are not backend spawns and do not get it: a
`hermes --tui` typed in the pane must not mint.

The renderer learns the same fact read-only through the existing
`hermes:launch-flags` sync IPC (`guestOnboarding`) and preload
(`window.hermesDesktop.guestOnboardingEnabled`).

Ruling: NS-845 Q1.1 / Q2 (env var is the contract, `--guest-onboarding`
maps to it in main). Two invariant tests on the pure helpers: only "1" or
the argv flag enables; the spawn env carries "1"/"0" as the last word and
preserves every other key.

* feat(desktop): the renderer learns free-tier readiness from one `setup.ready` push, not a 60 s poll

The backend's boot bootstrap now announces `setup.ready` once, after it has
created (or refused) the free-tier identity and resolved the inference
route. The renderer used to discover both by polling `setup.status`,
`setup.runtime_check` and `free_tier.status` every 60 s from
`useStatusSnapshot`; a fresh install's chip, notice strip and onboarding
overlay could sit stale for up to a minute after boot, and three RPCs a
minute per window kept asking a question whose answer changes only at
boundaries the backend already announces.

`handleLifecycleEvent` routes `setup.ready` (active source only, like
`skin.changed`) to `notifySetupReady()`, a one-shot tick atom in
`live-sync.ts` beside the other change ticks. `useStatusSnapshot` listens
to it and runs one readiness round at once (`setup.status` +
`setup.runtime_check` + `free_tier.status`). The readiness legs also run
once on open and on return from another app, as today. The 60 s tick keeps
only `getStatus()`.

`SetupStatusSnapshot` types the record's additive fields (`ready`,
`free_tier`, `other_providers`, `inference_provider`); readiness semantics
are unchanged and still key on `provider_configured` + `runtime_check`.

Ruling: NS-845 Q1.2 (renderer half). Tests: the lifecycle branch fires one
refresh from the active source and none from another; the snapshot hook's
contract is three legs on open, one leg on the tick.

* fix(cli): the banner names the free tier's model instead of "no model configured"

The welcome banner prints before credentials resolve, so on a fresh install
`model` is empty and the banner said, in red, "no model configured — run
/model or hermes setup". Under the free tier that is false: the route is
already known from local state (identity on disk, tier on), and the first
message will run on `nous/welcome`.

`_banner_left_lines` now asks the route the same question when `model` is
empty (`guest_carries_inference()`, a local read) and shows `welcome · Nous
Research`. When nothing resolves the red line stays. Ruling: NS-845 ("the
banner's 'no model configured' line reads the resolved route").

Live: fresh HERMES_HOME + fake portal, gate on -> `welcome · Nous Research`;
gate off -> the red line, zero portal calls.

* fix(aux): vision on the free tier uses nous/welcome too

The text-only modality on the gateway's `nous/welcome` row is DeepSeek V4 Flash's, the
backing model until the repoint; `z-ai/glm-5.3-flash` is natively multimodal and the
repoint declares the welcome row `text+image->text`. Skipping Nous for vision on the
welcome host would have sent every image step past the free tier for no reason, so the
auxiliary client pins the route's one model for every lane. A backing model that takes
no images answers with the upstream's own error, which the ladder handles as it always has.

* fix(gateway): hermes gateway run is a boot owner of the free tier too

Rung 5 made every demand-time free-tier site a read: resolve_provider,
the connector token, the /login precondition. That is only correct if
every process that can reach those sites ran the bootstrap first. The
CLI (cmd_chat) and hermes serve (_lifespan) did; the standalone
messaging gateway did not. A fresh HERMES_HOME with the gate on and
`hermes gateway run` reached provider resolution with no identity to
consume, and /login returned Unavailable. Reported by @andrexibiza on
#107697 (P1).

GatewayRunner.start now runs `free_tier_bootstrap.run_bootstrap` on an
executor thread right after startup recovery and BEFORE any adapter
connects, so a fast first DM cannot arrive with nothing to resolve. It
is its own step, not part of the turn-machinery warm-up: the warm-up is
an optimisation with an off switch (HERMES_STARTUP_WARMUP_TIMEOUT<=0);
the bootstrap is correctness and must always run. With the gate unset it
is a local inventory and no network.

Live, real GatewayRunner.start against a fake portal in a fresh home:
  gate on   -> 1 create, identity persisted, resolve_runtime_provider=nous,
               /login precondition sees the identity
  gate off  -> 0 portal calls, no identity, no_provider_configured
Before the fix the gate-on row was identical to the gate-off row.

Test: the bootstrap seam runs before _start_prefilter_platforms and
delegates to the one creator. Red on 5554eb6993 (no seam), green here.

Siddharth Balyan 3b01b4ce0f feat(desktop): Nous free tier on Hermes Desktop (#105260)
* feat(desktop): free-tier state over RPC, status routes that name it, and a sign-in that keeps connectors

The desktop learns about the Nous free tier by reading local auth state (pull): free_tier.status
answers has_guest / enabled / carries_inference / notice_pending with zero network, and
free_tier.ack_notice persists the one-time notice flag on the identity itself. setup.runtime_check
reports free_tier for the selected route; /api/portal, the Nous card in /api/providers/oauth and
billing.state carry free_tier (billing answers the free tier locally instead of a portal call that
can only fail). The free-tier picker row carries an explicit free_tier_row flag and is never priced or
locked. POST /api/providers/oauth/nous/start over a free-tier identity registers the connector
transfer and returns its code and consent URL; the poller waits for the transfer before the token
grant, persists the account, runs settle_after_upgrade, and the poll response gains reason,
account_email and model.

* feat(desktop): free tier on Hermes Desktop: ready screen, notice strip, status chip, Billing view, one sign-in dialog

The renderer reads the free tier from free_tier.status (pull) into one store; the first-launch
intro is the same state rendered two ways, keyed on the backend's one-time flag: the onboarding
overlay opens on a ready screen when the free tier carries inference, else a one-time strip above
the composer. Settings > Billing gains a free_tier view (notice with one Sign in, Plan / Model /
Connectors summary, plan card, footnote; no payment or usage rows). A status-bar chip names the
tier and model while it carries inference. Every entry point opens one claimed sign-in dialog that
drives the extended oauth/nous route and maps the poll's status and reason to the ruled screens;
Done settles billing, model options, providers and re-homes a session still on nous/welcome. The
picker badge also fires on free_tier_row. Docs: Desktop section in the free-tier guide, AGENTS notes.

* fix(desktop): free_tier.status starts the free tier's background setup when no identity exists

A served backend has no session-setup moment like the CLI's, so beside an explicit provider the free
tier was never set up on the desktop: no connectors, no notice strip. The first status read now
starts the same one-attempt background setup; the call itself never waits.

* fix(desktop): one Sign in on the Billing page; Settings > Providers names the free tier, never Connected

The free-tier plan card is the what-you-get text alone (the notice carries the page's one Sign in).
The Nous provider row reads Nous · free tier with a Free tier tag while the identity is the free
tier, instead of Nous Portal · Connected.

* fix(desktop): Settings > Providers never files the free tier under Connected

* fix(desktop): the intro's shape is keyed on the route, not on the identity

free_tier.status reports available (an identity exists and the tier is on); whether inference
runs on the free tier is setup.runtime_check.free_tier, keyed on the resolved endpoint. The ready
screen shows when that route is the free tier; the composer strip when the user's own provider
carries inference. An own-key install used to get the ready screen.

* docs(desktop): say what the free-tier chip is keyed on

* fix(desktop): the featured Nous row's pitch on the free tier says what signing in adds

* fix(desktop): a cancelled or superseded sign-in attempt can no longer change the identity or hide the intro

Four lifecycle holes from review. The Nous poller checks the session's cancelled flag after the
transfer wait, after the token grant, and once more under the session lock together with the
save, so a sign-in the user abandoned never persists. The renderer's sign-in store carries an
attempt generation that every continuation checks after each await, so a poll from a closed
attempt cannot publish over the one on screen (and its backend session is cancelled). The ready
screen comes down only after the backend recorded the acknowledgement. A composer still mounted
takes over the notice claim when its owner unmounts. One thin test per hole.

Siddharth Balyan 04a76c4109 fix(auth): a sign-in from the free tier settles the default model and route (#105259)
* fix(auth): a sign-in from the free tier settles the default model and route once, for every caller

Picking the free-tier row leaves model.default at nous/welcome pinned to the welcome host. After a
sign-in an account cannot keep either: the welcome host refuses account tokens, and the portal host
serves nous/welcome as a paid model. One completion step, anon_auth.settle_after_upgrade, now runs
after the account is persisted: a config on the free tier's route moves to the account's inference
host and the recommended default for the account's plan, through the same config write a plain
Nous login uses; a config on the user's own model is left alone. The pick is the one
GET /api/model/recommended-default already makes, factored into models.recommended_nous_default_model
so the CLI and the desktop land on the same model. hermes auth upgrade prints the new default.

* fix(auth): a sign-in completion with no eligible recommendation leaves no default model

The static provider-wide default is not narrowed by the account's plan or org policy, so writing it
as a fallback could persist a model the account may not use. When the recommendation cannot yield a
model, the route still moves to the account's host but model.default is left unset; the CLI says so
and points at `hermes model`.

* docs(free-tier): say what happens when no recommendation is available after sign-in

* fix(auth): sign-in completion moves the host and clears the default in one config write

Two writes could fail between them and leave the account host paired with nous/welcome.
_update_config_for_provider gains clear_default so the caller with no model to offer removes
model.default in the same atomic write that sets the host.

Siddharth Balyan a2db110ccc feat(auth): Nous free tier: free inference and connectors out of the box, one command to sign in (#105258)
* feat(auth): Nous free tier core: anonymous identity minted on first use, welcome inference, shared-store scoping

A fresh install with no provider sets up a free Nous identity (anonymous auth method of the nous
provider) instead of forcing the setup wizard. The identity is persisted through the same path a
real login uses, so the resolver ladder is unchanged. Two seams differ: token acquisition
re-exchanges the anon credential (no refresh token), and routing pins the welcome host's single
model nous/welcome. One identity per shared store; nous.guest: false turns the free tier off.

* test(auth): free tier core contracts: lifecycle, resolver precedence, exchange seam, model pin

* docs(user-guide): free tier and signing in

New page explaining what a fresh install gets before any key or sign-in
(free inference on nous/welcome plus connectors), how the free tier
coexists with a user's own API key, how to sign in with hermes auth
upgrade and keep connectors, how to turn the free tier off with
nous.guest, what hermes logout does in each state, a troubleshooting
table, and a plain privacy note. Wired into the Using Hermes sidebar.

* fix(auth): logout leaves the free tier alone and clears the shared store for a real Nous account

Logging out of the free tier is a no-op: it is not a login, so nothing is cleared and the user
is told they were never signed in. Logging out of a real Nous account now also clears the
cross-profile store, so a profile logout is not silently re-adopted on the next boot.

* fix(model): switching off the free tier points at signing in, never hops providers

* Name the free tier in the gateway startup notice and tell explicit-provider installs about it once

* Render the Nous free tier as free tier on auth status, auth list, hermes status and portal info, short-circuit billing copy for it, and skip the keepalive when there is no refresh token

* fix(auth): free tier is set up where nothing is configured: resolver last rung and first-run check

Both the provider resolver's terminal rung and the CLI first-run check now try to set up the free
tier before declaring nothing configured. On a fresh install the first command lands in chat on
nous/welcome; a failed setup still falls through to the existing guidance.

* Add hermes auth upgrade: sign the free tier into a Nous account while keeping its connectors

The device-code flow runs as usual, with a promotion intent registered on the portal between the
code request and the token poll so the account that approves the code inherits the free tier's
connectors. The promotion status decides the outcome: only a completed one is followed by the
token grant, which is persisted over the free-tier singleton and the shared store. Declined,
superseded, retired and busy outcomes each print their own plain copy, and a retired identity is
cleared so the next use sets up a fresh one. User-facing text never names the free tier's internals.

* Show the Nous free tier as one picker row with nous/welcome and hide it when nous.guest is off

* fix(auth): upgrade opens the consent page for this sign-in; one mint attempt per process; forced free tier wins the first-run check

The browser leg of hermes auth upgrade now prints and opens the promotion claim URL with the
claim code, not the generic device page. A failed mint is attempted once per process so several
bootstrap sites cannot hit a closed gate or a 429 twice; a retired credential resets that so
re-minting still happens. HERMES_FORCE_GUEST is honoured ahead of the first-run provider check.

* fix(auth): pin the welcome model on the selected route, not on profile state; background setup retries after a failure

A credential-pool entry can select a paid Nous key while the profile singleton is still the free
tier. The model pin now keys on the resolved endpoint (welcome host) in agent init and /model, and
the pin in model normalization is removed since it had no route to look at. A failed background
identity setup releases its latch so a later attempt in the same process can try again.

* fix(auth): decide the Nous model together with the route on every credential-pool swap

The credential pool can move a Nous agent between the welcome host and the portal host after
init. One helper, pin_model_for_route, now runs at init and inside every pool swap, so the
welcome host always carries nous/welcome and a paid endpoint always keeps the caller's model.

* fix(auth): apply the route model policy on every wire mode during a pool swap; release the setup latch if the thread cannot start

* fix(auth): free-tier lifecycle takes profile then shared lock, reconciles with the shared store, persists the mint before exchanging, and clears only the identity that died

The shared store is the identity of record for a Hermes root: a profile holding a stale free-tier
identity adopts a sibling's newer sign-in instead of keeping the guest, and never overwrites the
shared account. Locks are taken in the documented order (profile, then shared). A minted credential
is stored as soon as create succeeds, so a rate-limited or timed-out exchange does not lose it and
trigger a second mint. Retiring a dead credential removes only that credential from both stores.
Guest exchange uses the resolver's canonical portal URL.

* fix(auth): a credential rotation never rewrites the conversation model; connectors honour the off switch and replace a retired free-tier credential

The welcome host serves one model, so a rotation onto it is refused for any conversation on another
model instead of silently switching that conversation to nous/welcome (the model pin applies only
when a route is first chosen). The connector token path now treats the free tier as absent when
nous.guest is false, including cached tokens, and shares the one dead-credential rule with
inference: a retired identity is replaced once rather than returning its stale token.

* fix(auth): plain login never imports the free tier as OAuth credentials; the gateway startup line reads persisted state only

A free-tier identity in the shared store is not an OAuth credential to offer for import; a real
sign-in replaces it. The gateway's startup notice now answers provider precedence from persisted
state (no token refresh at boot), so an expired free-tier token cannot stall the online message.

Erosika 0ac631b6c0 feat(api): accept a turn author on session chat and runs; peer dm forwards it
POST /api/sessions/{id}/chat, /chat/stream and /v1/runs take an optional
"author" object. absent or null keeps today's behavior; a non-object is a 400
invalid_author. the value reaches run_conversation as turn_author and nothing
else: it is a claim by an API-key holder and grants no capability.

hermes peer dm and peer run add the author to the request body when the
message_agent runner launched them with HERMES_TURN_AUTHOR set, so a
cross-machine dm is attributed the same way a local one is.

Teknium ee35a4624f fix(routing): address review — session runtime decides, quarantine continues the chain, unclassified ids break ownership
Three defects found in review of the first head (@ehz0ah):

* The mid-request hop read the PERSISTED provider from disk. A live
  `/model xai-oauth` session over `model.provider: auto` therefore still
  reached the discovery chain and billed Nous. _try_payment_fallback now
  takes the route's main_runtime snapshot; disk is the fallback only when
  no session runtime exists.

* After a configured fallback was quarantined mid-request (401, refresh
  failed), the second pass went straight to the discovery chain, which
  the new gate refuses — so later CONFIGURED entries never ran and the
  original error was re-raised. The second pass now re-walks the task
  chain and main chain (the quarantined entry is unhealthy and skipped)
  before discovery.

* current_provider_owns_vendor dropped ids detect_vendor could not
  classify, so Bedrock's 15-id catalog (14 unclassified `us.anthropic…`)
  looked exclusively DeepSeek and `/model deepseek-v4-pro` stuck on
  Bedrock. An unclassified id now counts as evidence of a multi-vendor
  catalog: ownership requires every id to classify to the one vendor.

Teknium 7e0b5cd235 fix(auxiliary): auto never bills a provider the user did not select
With a main provider selected, an unusable main route (expired xAI/Codex
OAuth token, 401/402/429 mid-session) fell through the built-in discovery
chain (OpenRouter -> Nous -> custom -> api-key) and quietly ran every
compression, title and memory-flush call on whichever OTHER account was
still logged in. Reported as "using Grok on my Premium+ sub, my Nous
Portal balance kept draining" — the chat visibly stayed on Grok while the
side tasks were billed elsewhere, and re-logging into X did not help
because the aux side never consulted the selected provider.

The discovery chain is now reserved for installs with no selected main
provider (`model.provider: auto` / unset). Otherwise the ladder is
main -> auxiliary.<task>.fallback_chain -> fallback_providers -> refuse
with a warning naming the dead provider and the fix. Both entry points
gate on the same predicate: the resolve-time route and the mid-request
payment/auth hop (_try_payment_fallback).

Existing chain tests that asserted the hop now pin `provider=auto`, the
one case where discovery is still the contract.

Teknium 6964eebd35 fix(deepseek): pass custom model ids through instead of rewriting them
The deepseek provider allow-listed ids by shape (two canonicals plus a
^deepseek-v<N> regex) and rewrote everything else to deepseek-flash. That
swallowed the vendor's own deepseek-flash the day it shipped (#107206) and
would do the same to any future id without a v<N> marker, while still
letting shape-matching guesses such as deepseek-v4.1-flash through to a 400.

Only the two ids DeepSeek actually retired (deepseek-chat, deepseek-reasoner)
are remapped now; every other id the user typed reaches the wire as typed and
the API's own error names the valid models.

Teknium 70ed17e3d8 fix(cli): same-provider /model on a session-only custom endpoint stays on it (#74143)
A bare `custom`/`local` session whose base_url is not the trusted config
`model.base_url` re-resolved credentials from config on a same-provider
switch and fell through to the OpenRouter default: the next turn hit
openrouter.ai with an empty (or the custom) key. Keep the session endpoint
and key when resolution comes back empty or on OpenRouter; a config-backed
custom URL still wins so key/endpoint rotation is not pinned to a stale
session.

Diagnosed by fangliquanflq in #74143 / #71693; this is the minimal form of
that fix at the same-provider credential step.
2026-09-10 03:58:37 -07:00
Teknium 2466684db5 fix(models): never auto-switch to a provider the user has no credentials for
/model <name> on provider A, where the name is only known to provider B
(static catalog or OpenRouter), switched the session to B even when B had
no key: an immediate 401 for most vendors, and for OpenRouter — whose
runtime resolves with an EMPTY key instead of raising — a silent switch
onto a metered aggregator. The dashboard's flat Model field had two more
copies of the same guess ("vendor/model on a native provider" → openrouter).

detect_provider_for_model() now walks its ladder as candidates and skips any
target without credentials (env/.env key, auth-store login, or a usable
credential pool entry). Exceptions: the user NAMED the provider (/model nous)
or there is no current provider yet ("auto") — then the guess is handed back
so the credential step fails loudly instead of silently ignoring input. A
vendor/ prefix naming a provider declared in `providers:` is a selection, not
a guess, and always routes. The dashboard fallbacks apply the same gate.

Tests that pinned "switch to OpenRouter/vendor with no key" now grant the
credential they assumed; two new invariants cover the gate.

Teknium 7f487df266 fix(gateway): hermes gateway restart without a service unit no longer bails on linger
The linger hint explains a FAILED systemd unit restart. It ran unconditionally,
so on any Linux login session with linger off and no unit installed the
command printed the hint and exited 0 without stopping or starting anything.
The dashboard/Desktop "Restart gateway" action spawns exactly this command and
polls its exit code, so it reported success while the gateway never came back
with the newly saved credentials. Gate the hint on an installed systemd unit;
the no-unit path falls through to the detached restart as intended.
2026-09-10 02:48:21 -07:00
Teknium e1f1c8a935 fix(dashboard): stopped gateway no longer reports a dead process's platform error
gateway_state.json preserves per-platform entries across restarts, so a gateway
that once ran without TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN and then stopped kept reporting
'fatal / No bot token configured' on the Channels/Messaging pages even after the
user saved a token — the Desktop showed 'Saved' on both fields next to the error.
Only a live gateway's verdict describes current config; when no gateway is running
the platform reads gateway_stopped with no error.
2026-09-10 02:48:21 -07:00
Teknium aeecb110f8 fix(deepseek): deepseek-flash is the canonical Flash id; retired names fold onto it
DeepSeek retired deepseek-v4-flash on 2026-09-10 (V4.1-Flash release); the API's
model name is now `deepseek-flash` and /v1/models lists only it. Hermes still
folded every non-V-series name onto deepseek-v4-flash, so `/model deepseek-flash`
on the DeepSeek provider was rewritten, then the validator "auto-corrected" it
back against the live listing: "Auto-corrected deepseek-v4-flash -> deepseek-flash"
on every switch.

Retired aliases (deepseek-chat / -reasoner and other fuzzy names) now fold onto
deepseek-flash; the curated catalog, profile fallback list, aux default, goal-judge
hint and pricing snapshot (2026-09-10 off-peak USD) follow the docs. Dated
deepseek-v4-* ids still pass through untouched.

Builds on YipTszkwan's #107126 (earliest fix in the cluster).
2026-09-10 02:44:26 -07:00
Teknium 215fd0ecb9 fix(models): a model the current provider serves never re-routes to OpenRouter
detect_provider_for_model() walked static catalogs and then the OpenRouter
catalog. Providers whose live catalog outruns the static list (Codex
early-access ids, Nous Portal slugs, Ollama Cloud) had nothing to stop the
ladder, so `/model gpt-6-astra` from a Codex session, or `/model glm-5.3-flash`
from a Nous-sub-only session, silently rebuilt the agent on metered OpenRouter
(or on a vendor the user has no key for).

The current provider's disk-cached live catalog (cached_provider_model_ids, 1h
TTL + SWR) is now consulted first: an exact or bare-name hit stays put and
resolves to the provider's own spelling. Fixes the whole class at the shared
choke point, covering /model, ACP, oneshot and the dashboard.

Refs #97487 (sj-unit72 diagnosed the ollama-cloud instance of this).

YipTszkwan 8435a3ae00 fix(deepseek): recognise the version-less deepseek-flash model id
DeepSeek's 2026-09 Flash refresh introduced a version-less canonical id:
GET /v1/models now returns `deepseek-flash` (alongside `deepseek-v4-pro`), the
API accepts it directly, and the older `deepseek-v4-flash` is server-side
aliased onto it. Every DeepSeek model-id gate in Hermes keys off the
`deepseek-v<N>` prefix, so the new id silently missed all four:

* DeepSeekProfile.build_api_kwargs_extras classified it as non-thinking and
  omitted `extra_body.thinking`. The server then defaults to thinking-on, so
  the user's thinking toggle and `reasoning_effort` were quietly ignored.
* `_normalize_for_deepseek` folded it onto `deepseek-v4-flash` (it misses the
  V-series regex), so the id a user picked never reached the wire and the
  config stored a different model than the picker advertised.
* `DEFAULT_CONTEXT_LENGTHS` fell through to the 128K `deepseek` catch-all
  instead of the real 1M window, capping the model at an eighth of its
  context before compaction kicked in.
* `_REASONING_STALE_TIMEOUT_FLOORS` had no entry, leaving the stale-stream
  detector at its 180s default instead of the 600s reasoning-model floor.

Verified live against api.deepseek.com: `deepseek-flash` answers 200 with
`model: deepseek-flash`, accepts image input (the refresh folds vision into
the Flash model), and the in-between id `deepseek-v4.1-flash` is rejected
with "The supported API model names are deepseek-flash, deepseek-v4-pro".

Adds the id to all four gates plus regression coverage for each site.

Teknium 8068c09432 fix(desktop): verify the Windows update receipt against the checkout, not cwd
The Windows hand-off script runs from the PRE-update checkout, spawned from
HERMES_HOME by the Desktop. e7eaff68 shipped the post-update verify step
without the cwd pin that landed a day later, so verify_windows_desktop_update(Path.cwd())
looked for apps/desktop/release under ~/.hermes and reported a healthy,
fully updated install as "The updated Desktop executable is missing" (exit 8,
error dialog, app relaunched fine).

Derive the root from the imported hermes_cli package instead; the ps1 no
longer passes a cwd. The cwd pin stays as belt for the other child steps.

Teknium d783c312a7 fix(plugins): run gh auth token under the noninteractive git env
The MCP-catalog noninteractive contract test asserts every subprocess spawned during a git
install carries GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0 and a closed stdin; the gh token probe was spawned with
the inherited env. Use the same hardened env (plus GH_PROMPT_DISABLED) so gh cannot open a
browser/device flow either, and let the contract accept a stdin fed by input= (credential fill
writes its request and closes).

Teknium 9886f6e53b feat(plugins): install plugins from private git repos using the user's stored credentials
`hermes plugins install owner/private-repo` failed for every private repository
even when the same user could `git clone` it from their shell: the hardened
`noninteractive_git_env` disables credential helpers, askpass and global config
(so a hostile repo can't make our plumbing prompt or hang), which also blocks
the user's own stored credential. The result was "could not read Username" or a
60s hang on a GUI askpass, with no hint about how to authenticate.

New `hermes_cli/git_credentials.py` resolves a credential up front from sources
the user already owns — GITHUB_TOKEN/GH_TOKEN (profile-scoped), `gh auth token`,
then `git credential fill` against their configured helpers with prompting
disabled (any host) — and hands it to git as a one-shot
`http.<origin>/.extraheader` via the GIT_CONFIG_* env block. Nothing lands in
the URL, `.git/config` or install metadata. The same path covers
`plugins update`, catalog MCP git installs and profile-distribution staging,
which share the same hardened env and the same failure.

A private-repo clone with no credential now fails fast with an actionable hint.

Austin Pickett f6ddd89692 fix(dashboard-auth): offer every configured provider in native sign-in (#107018)
Desktop opens /auth/native/authorize without naming a provider. The empty-provider
auto-select filtered password providers out of the candidate set, so a deployment
with one OAuth provider plus username/password went straight to OAuth and never
offered the password option — even though native sign-in brokers password
providers through /login since 56f1afc834. The filter's rationale ("a password
provider can never be the target of the native flow", ed5e17f4b8) predates that
change.

Render a provider chooser when more than one interactive session provider is
registered. Each link re-enters the same validated authorize route with an
explicit provider, so the choice never leaves the native PKCE flow. A single
provider still auto-selects, and the chooser is emitted before any broker state
is allocated or any cookie set.

The desktop only shell-opens the authorize URL and never parses its response
(apps/desktop/electron/native-oauth-login.ts), so the 200 chooser page is safe on
existing desktop builds.

Supersedes #101713, #76941.

Teknium 6f3e630b47 fix(auth): honor Desktop-saved model.key_env for registry providers
The Desktop settings UI persists a registry provider's API key as a
credential pointer -- model.key_env in config.yaml pointing at an env var
in $HERMES_HOME/.env (e.g. HERMES_CUSTOM_LMSTUDIO_API_KEY) -- while
keeping model.provider on the registry id. _resolve_api_key_provider_secret
resolved registry providers exclusively from
PROVIDER_REGISTRY[...].api_key_env_vars, so the UI-saved key was silently
ignored; for lmstudio the runtime then substituted the no-auth placeholder
(dummy-lm-api-key) and auth-enabled LM Studio servers rejected every
request with an opaque, retryable-flagged 401.

Fix: consult model.key_env (only when config.yaml's main model targets the
provider being resolved, so the pointer never leaks across providers)
before the registry env vars, running the value through the same
_usable_declared_secret prefix validation. Precedence for the canonical
env vars and the credential pool is unchanged; a valid canonical key still
wins when no pointer is set.

Complements #75373, which covers providers.<id>.key_env at the provider
level; the Desktop save path writes the pointer at the model level, which
that PR does not consult.

Fixes #106336

every surface funnels through, `kanban_db.create_task`: board-project
inheritance now runs only when the caller left `workspace_kind` open
(`None`), and `workspace_kind` defaults to scratch after that check. The
tool handler keeps the #106347 fix for `project=""` (no `or` collapse) and
`board=` scoping but drops its handler-local sentinel logic, since the
resolver now owns the rule; the `self_task` project inheritance for
dispatcher-owned workers is unchanged.

Sibling surfaces had the same bug through the same line and are fixed by
the same change:
- CLI `hermes kanban create --workspace scratch` on a project-scoped board
  produced a project worktree; `--workspace` no longer defaults in
  argparse so the resolver can tell "omitted" from "scratch".
- Dashboard `POST /tasks` with `workspace_kind: "scratch"` did the same;
  `CreateTaskBody.workspace_kind` defaults to `None` for the same reason.
- `kanban_swarm.create_swarm` threads `None` through for consistency.

Tests: one resolver invariant in test_kanban_board_project.py (explicit
scratch stays scratch, omitted still inherits) and the salvaged tool test
folded into a single parametrized matrix over scoped/unscoped target boards.

teknium1 53b9615ea6 test(hermes_cli): keep one opencode-go delisting invariant; record the delisting beside the keyed-suffix set
Drop the floor-pin test from #106290 (a snapshot of the static table); the
end-to-end merge test through provider_model_ids with the real curated floor
already fails if the slug is re-added. Note beside
_OPENCODE_FREE_KEYED_SUFFIX_MODELS why ox-alpha-free stays excluded from the
keyless catalog even though it left the curated floor.

ten82e b2cae54035 fix(hermes_cli): drop delisted ox-alpha-free from opencode-go curated floor
The Go relay (GET /zen/go/v1/models) delisted ox-alpha-free 2026-09-09, but
_PROVIDER_MODELS["opencode-go"] still carried it. _profile_live_catalog merges
the curated floor into the live list (live-first for opencode-go), so the
model picker kept offering a model that now 401s — the same failure class as
#95914 (opencode-free / x-preview-f-free).

Remove it from the floor and add two regression tests: an end-to-end merge
test through provider_model_ids with the real floor (fails if a stale floor
resurrects it) and a floor-pin test asserting the known-delisted model stays
out of the offline fallback.

Teknium ac087e6ada fix(console): cancel/timeout interrupts the command's agent and waits for the worker
Hermes Console ran each command on a ThreadPoolExecutor and cancelled only
the asyncio waiter. A command that forks an AIAgent (`curator run
--consolidate`) kept its worker thread and its in-flight provider request
alive after the prompt said "cancelled" — a llama.cpp generation kept
decoding for 30+ minutes and held the inference slot (#106179).

Root cause: the host owning the thread never knew about the agent created
deep inside the synchronous command, so it could not call the existing
cooperative `interrupt()` path that closes the request sockets.

Fix: `agent/interrupt_scope.py` gives the host an `InterruptScope`; the
console binds it around the worker (ContextVar), and every
`AIAgent.run_conversation()` registers itself with the bound scope for the
turn. On cancel, timeout and disconnect the console calls `scope.cancel()`
(hard-interrupts every registered agent; an agent registering after the
cancel is interrupted on entry so the cancel cannot lose the race with a
turn that has not started) and awaits the worker Future with a 10s bound
before reporting cancelled/timeout. Queued-but-unstarted work is dropped via
`Future.cancel()` alone.

Live repro (fake OpenAI-compatible provider blocking like llama.cpp, real
/api/console, real curator dispatch, real AIAgent + direct request path):
origin/main at the "cancelled" frame -> request_exited=false,
worker_exited=false; with this change -> both true, provider saw the peer
close, prompt reported cancelled 0.27s after the frame.

Salvage of #106197 by @kyssta-exe (executor-future handle, cancel/timeout/
disconnect propagation) and #106320 by @Xixiartemis (deterministic
lifecycle regression: terminal(cancelled) => no owned request or worker
remains live; interrupt-on-late-registration). Both rebuilt slimmer: #106197 keyed its fallback on Future.cancel()
returning False, but the handle it held was run_in_executor's asyncio
wrapper, whose cancel() returns True while the thread keeps running, so its
thread-name abort registry was never consulted; #106320's command-scoped
ownership model is folded into one small module hooked at the turn facade
instead of a per-caller `bind_agent`.

liuhao1024 77ca949b90 fix(cli): stop dpaste.com fallback from leaking debug logs for 7 days
The dpaste.com fallback path kept pastes for 7 days (vs the promised
6-hour auto-delete), could not be deleted by `hermes debug delete`
(anonymous pastes have no owner token), and the pending-paste sweep
skipped dpaste URLs entirely — while the share output still claimed
pastes auto-delete in 6 hours.

- Default the dpaste.com fallback retention to 1 day (dpaste's minimum)
  across --expire, upload_to_pastebin, and build_debug_share so the
  dashboard endpoint benefits too
- Print an accurate warning when uploads fall back to dpaste.com
  (retention window + no delete path) instead of the 6-hour promise
- Mention the fallback retention in the CLI and gateway privacy notices
  before the user consents to uploading
- Explain in `hermes debug delete` errors why dpaste.com pastes cannot
  be deleted and that they expire on their own

Refs #106164

[salvage: trimmed to 2 invariant tests (dpaste delete error, dpaste fallback notice);
5 duplicative default-value tests dropped]

Teknium 1a500a43a7 fix(gateway): keep launchd_stop's bootout quiet too; prove the fd-2 invariant with a fake launchctl
Widens #106272 to the one remaining sibling: `launchd_stop()` boots out with check=True and
already handles exit 3/113/125 (job unloaded) and 5/125 (domain unmanageable) by falling through
to the PID kill, yet inherited stderr — so `hermes gateway stop` against an unloaded job printed
"Boot-out failed: 3: No such process" next to "✓ Service stopped". Same `_CAPTURE_TEXT` kwargs as
the sibling calls; an unexpected exit still raises with `e.stderr` populated.

Replaces the contributor's two kwarg-assertion tests (`capture_output is True` on a mocked
`subprocess.run`) with two invariant tests that run a real fake `launchctl` on PATH and read fd 2
through `capfd`: restart-on-unloaded prints only its ↻/✓ lines and drives
kickstart→bootout→bootstrap→kickstart; stop-on-unloaded is silent, while a real bootout failure
(exit 1) still raises with the captured stderr. Both red on origin/main, green here.

teknium1 8d93081971 fix(desktop): stop flagging local/LAN auxiliary pins as stale
An aux task pinned to a private endpoint via `base_url` (a home Ollama
box at `byron.local`, a LAN IP, localhost) is the intended per-task
endpoint feature and can never bill a provider. The Settings → Model
banner still counted it as "still run on openai" forever and offered
"Reset all to main", which would wipe the working local setup; the
post-switch `stale_aux` report had the same blind spot; and the aux row
never showed the `base_url` the backend already sends, so the pin was
indistinguishable from a paid-provider pin.

- `GET /api/model/auxiliary` now stamps each task with `local_endpoint`,
  the verdict of the one canonical classifier
  (`agent/model_metadata.py::is_local_endpoint`) — no TS mirror of the
  private-range rules, so frontend and runtime cannot drift.
- Desktop: the persistent banner filter is the pure
  `staleAuxAssignments()` and skips `local_endpoint` pins; the pinned row
  appends ` · <base_url>` when one is set.
- `_stale_aux_pins` (post-switch report) skips local pins the same way.
- `is_local_endpoint`: `*.local` (RFC 6762 mDNS) now counts as local, and
  IPv6 literals no longer ride the "no dots ⇒ unqualified host" rule, so
  a global-scope address (`2607:f8b0::1`) is not local while `::1`,
  ULA and link-local still are via the `ipaddress` scope checks.

Slim redo of #106236 (@webtecnica) and #106234 (@huklaa), which fixed the
same symptom with a client-side classifier copy; the bug class, row
display and mDNS/IPv6 classifier corrections are theirs.

teknium1 113304199e refactor(desktop): gate the WSLg D3D12 selection inside the helper and test the real launch env
Move the WSL / /dev/dxg / d3d12_dri.so probes into _prefer_wsl_d3d12 with
the probed paths as module constants, so the launcher call site is a single
line and a test can lay out a fake WSLg host without touching real
/dev or /usr/lib. The two tests now run the real _desktop_launch_env end to
end (selected under WSL+dxg+driver; untouched with an explicit Mesa
override, off WSL, without /dev/dxg, or without the driver file) instead of
unit-testing the helper with a precomputed boolean.

Docs: one paragraph in the Desktop guide on the automatic selection and
the env vars that keep an explicit choice authoritative.

teknium1 a785db3672 fix(cli): inline the $HERMES_HOME/npmrc lookup, trim tests to two, document it
Fold the helper into _npm_lifecycle_env itself: the whole fix is one
is_file() check plus a setdefault, so a separate function, the
try/except around get_hermes_home() (it never raises) and the
dict-returning indirection were shape-gate violations. Build the path
with os.fspath so it is correct on Windows too.

Tests: keep the two invariants (file present -> NPM_CONFIG_USERCONFIG
points at it; explicit process/caller value wins and a missing file
sets nothing), fold the other two into the negative test.

Docs: one paragraph in the desktop troubleshooting page next to
ELECTRON_MIRROR describing $HERMES_HOME/npmrc.

teknium1 d3dcc064df fix(cli): detect ssl.SSLError by type in the Codex login hint; trim tests; add the openssl.cnf snippet to docs
- _ssl_interop_hint: also match ssl.SSLError instances (and one level of
  __cause__/__context__) plus the bare UNEXPECTED_EOF marker, so an
  SSLEOFError whose text httpx did not repeat still gets the hint. The
  hint now names the TLS 1.2 diagnostic and links the providers docs
  note instead of an issue number.
- tests: 3 -> 2 invariants (parametrized login_post/poll SSL case keeps
  the raw text + hint + cause; a plain httpx timeout gets no hint).
- docs: providers.md Codex note carries the reporter's exact openssl.cnf
  classic-groups snippet (EN + existing zh-Hans copy).

liuhao1024 d8eb177c93 fix(cli): keep SSL detail and add middlebox hint on Codex device-login transport errors
Device-login requests on networks whose middlebox rejects the larger
TLS 1.3 ClientHello sent by OpenSSL 3.5+ (post-quantum hybrid groups)
fail with SSLEOFError / handshake timeouts while curl still works, so
they masquerade as a Codex outage (#106384). The polling loop let the
raw httpx error escape unshaped, and _codex_login_post dropped the
exception chain and gave no actionable hint.

- add _ssl_interop_hint() applied to both device-login transport paths
- re-raise _codex_login_post failures with 'from exc' to preserve cause
- wrap the poll POST so transport failures become a shaped AuthError
  (device_code_poll_error) carrying the SSL detail and OPENSSL_CONF
  workaround hint; KeyboardInterrupt handling is unchanged

teknium1 02005cfe20 fix(kanban): promote refuses undone parents instead of a false --force success
`hermes kanban promote --force <id>` printed `Promoted <id> -> ready` and
then the very next claim (a human `claim`, or the dispatcher tick seconds
later) demoted the task back to `todo` with `claim_rejected
{parents_not_done}` and returned None (#106195). The non-force refusal
even pointed operators at `--force` as the escape hatch.

The claim gate is deliberate: `claim_task` is the single enforcement point
("never ready -> running with an undone parent, whichever writer set
'ready'", cda20eec0c), and `complete_task`/`request_review` re-check the
same predicate, so a child let through by a forced claim could still never
finish. A promotion override therefore has no honest outcome; the
dependency edge is the real knob.

- drop `--force` from `promote` (parser, CLI handler, `promote_task`
  kwarg, the `forced` event field nothing read)
- the refusal message now states why the gate cannot be bypassed and names
  the working remedies: complete the parents or `hermes kanban unlink`
- two invariant tests: refusal on an undone parent leaves `todo` with no
  fake `ready`; the flag no longer parses

Salvage direction from #75354 by @vyacheslavk (diagnosis of the promote ->
claim gap); the consume-at-claim authorization there is not taken because
the same parent gate also blocks completion of the forced child.

Totoro-qaq 5d6d5fb223 fix(cli): refresh TERMINAL_CWD when --in re-homes the session
`--in DIR` only chdir'd. Every cwd consumer (resolve_agent_cwd -> Codex
app-server thread cwd, the terminal tool, context-file discovery) prefers
TERMINAL_CWD over the process cwd, so a value inherited from a parent
Hermes surface, the shell or .env survived the chdir and the session kept
running in the old directory. The local backend was rescued by cli.py's
force-export at import time; docker/ssh backends and the TUI launch path,
which never imports cli.py, were not.

Refresh TERMINAL_CWD to the --in target when it is already set. An unset
variable stays unset so the backends keep deriving from the new process
cwd and no host path is pre-seeded into ssh/container backends.

Teknium ca16cafee4 test(guard): block spawning a real gateway runtime from tests
Tests that exercise the dashboard's gateway-restart path can end up
spawning a REAL `python -m hermes_cli.main gateway restart` child when
the spawn seam is not intercepted. `_spawn_hermes_action` launches it
with start_new_session=True, so it outlives the pytest worker; the
child inherits the pytest-tmp HERMES_HOME, which is not a profile and
hashes to no service suffix, so `get_service_name()` resolves the
DEVELOPER's `hermes-gateway` unit, `systemd_restart` restarts the live
gateway, and without systemd the fallback runs `run_gateway()`
in-process forever and squats the webhook port.

Live repro on this machine (origin/main): an unintercepted spawn of
["gateway", "restart"] from a test restarted the production gateway
(MainPID 136820 -> 1689090, NRestarts=1). On 2026-09-03 a sibling
refactor moved `_spawn_hermes_action` from the `hermes_cli.web_server`
facade to `hermes_cli.web_server_gateway` ~10 minutes before the tests
were repointed; runs in that window patched a name production never
read and left 39 orphans alive for six days.

The live-system guard now rejects any subprocess primitive whose
command line the canonical matcher (`gateway.status.
_gateway_command_subcommand`) classifies as `gateway run|start|restart`.
Argv substrings are never consulted, so `gateway status`, `gateway
--help`, `hermes_cli.main serve`, etc. pass through. Three files that
deliberately spawn and reap a stub child with a gateway-shaped argv
(flock holders, sleep sleepers with an argv tail) opt out with the new
`spawns_gateway_lookalike` marker, which lifts only this check and keeps
os.kill guarded. Two canary tests pin the block and the pass-through.

Teknium 19f2f19987 fix(gateway): refuse to uninstall a systemd unit pinned to another HERMES_HOME
Defence at the exact boundary the incident crossed: systemd_uninstall() and
uninstall._remove_systemd_gateway() unlinked whatever get_systemd_unit_path()
returned. Before stop/disable/unlink, read the unit's own
Environment="HERMES_HOME=..." line (the parser status/refresh already use)
and, when it names a different home than this process, warn with both paths
and leave the unit alone. A unit without the line (hand-written) is still
removed as before.

Teknium 4746e34448 fix(gateway): foreign HERMES_HOME no longer resolves to the default hermes-gateway unit
_profile_suffix() compared HERMES_HOME against get_default_hermes_root(),
which treats ANY home outside ~/.hermes (Docker /opt/data, a mktemp dir) as
"the root itself". Every such home therefore collapsed to the bare
`hermes-gateway` service name and the default profile's unit path
(~/.config/systemd/user/hermes-gateway.service); the documented
"else a short hash of the path" branch was unreachable.

A parity harness run with HERMES_HOME=$(mktemp -d) called
uninstall_gateway_service(), resolved to the production unit, ran
`systemctl --user stop/disable`, unlinked it and daemon-reloaded. With the
unit gone Restart= could not revive it: all cron jobs and every messaging
platform were down for 6.5 days.

Compare against the platform-native default home (~/.hermes) for the bare
name; keep the profile name for <root>/profiles/<name>; everything else
(temp dirs, Docker /opt/data) gets its sha256[:8] suffix as the docstring
always promised. The Docker image supervises with s6 (`gateway-<profile>`
slots), not systemd/launchd, so the bare host-service name was never load-
bearing there.
