Every defaults-free config reader (gateway runtime, TUI gateway, cron
scheduler + job snapshot, `hermes send` env bridge, doctor memory section,
hermes_cli/main early parse, hermes_time, hermes_logging, the gateway
fallback-chain refresh) re-implemented "read config.yaml + managed overlay +
${VAR} expansion" by hand, in three different orders, and none of them
replayed the model-key canonicalization or the last-known-good recovery that
load_config() gained. An admin-pinned `${VAR}` expanded on one surface and was
bridged literally on another; `model: {name: x}` resolved to an empty model
everywhere except the gateway.
hermes_cli/config_effective.py::load_user_config_effective is the one
primitive: user file → ${VAR} → managed overlay → _normalize_root_model_keys,
no DEFAULT_CONFIG merge, sharing read_raw_config's parse cache and serving the
last good parse (in-process, then backups/config/*.good.*) on torn YAML;
`fail_closed=True` raises for the one caller that keeps its own last-good
state (the fallback-chain refresh). gateway/run.py::_load_gateway_runtime_config
is deleted — it was _load_gateway_config plus expansion, and _load_gateway_config
now expands.
Behavior change: _load_bridge_config, send_cmd._load_hermes_env and
doctor_state._doctor_memory_config expanded BEFORE the overlay; they now match
load_config (managed `${VAR}` expands against the process env only). All nine
sites gain model-key canonicalization and last-good recovery.
send_cmd._load_hermes_env now routes its .env read through
env_loader._load_dotenv_with_fallback so the credential sanitizer runs.
`hermes update` printed "draining (up to 1875s)..." and then nothing for up
to 30 minutes while the gateway's in-band restart waited on in-flight work
(agent.restart_after_turn_timeout). Neither the updater nor the gateway log
said WHAT was being waited on, so a single long cron job read as a hung
update.
Gateway side: GatewayShutdownMixin._describe_active_work() enumerates each
unit the restart wait holds for — chat turns (session key, model, current
tool, elapsed), cron jobs (job id, elapsed, and the restart-safe external
worker pid when the run was handed off; cron/scheduler now records that pid
next to the running id), api/deferred runs by count. It is written to
gateway_state.json as `active_work` while the state is `draining` (cleared
otherwise) and appended to the 30s "Restart deferred" log line.
CLI side: hermes_cli/update_cmd_drain_report.py reads `active_work` and
prints a progress block every 30s during the SIGUSR1 exit wait — the
holder(s), their pids, elapsed time, seconds left before the forced
restart, and the config knob that caps the wait. Wired into the systemd,
launchd and manual gateway restart paths of `hermes update` and into
`hermes gateway restart`; `hermes gateway status` lists the same units
while draining. A pre-fix gateway (no `active_work` field) gets an explicit
"gateway did not report" line rather than silence.
Live A/B (real gateway, 90s no-agent cron job in flight, SIGUSR1 from the
caller): base = 79s of silence, no `active_work` in the state file; head =
the job named with pid/elapsed/remaining every interval, log line carries
the same detail.
Inspired by Claude Cowork (desktop changelog v1.46388.1, 2026-09-04), which
added "automatic re-runs (after 5, 15, and 30 minutes) for a scheduled task
that could not reach the model at all, for example right after the computer
wakes behind a VPN."
A recurring cron job whose run fails with a transient network/DNS error
before ANY model call previously sat out a full period (a daily job fired
into a reconnecting VPN silently skipped a day). Now the scheduler pulls
next_run_at earlier along a bounded 5/15/30-minute ladder, suppresses the
interim failure notice while a re-run is pending, and resets the ladder on
any run that reaches the model.
Deliberately narrower than a generic retry (cf. PR #16512): zero API calls +
transient classification means nothing executed and nothing was spent, so a
re-run cannot duplicate side effects. One-shots are excluded (at-most-times
dispatch accounting, #38758); retries never fire past the schedule's own
next occurrence; `cron.retry_unreachable: false` disables.
- cron/unreachable_retry.py: ladder, classification, plan/clear/will_retry
- cron/scheduler.py: flag unreachable failures in run_job; suppress interim
notice; thread model_unreachable through the fenced bookkeeping write
- cron/jobs.py: mark_job_run schedules/clears the ladder under the jobs lock
- docs: website/docs/user-guide/features/cron.md
Unpinned cron jobs snapshot the global provider/model at creation and fail
closed when the global default drifts (#44585). Pinning was the only way
forward, but it makes a job stop tracking the global default forever.
Add resnap: refresh an unpinned job's provider/model snapshot to the CURRENT
global resolution without pinning it, so it adopts the user's deliberately
changed default while keeping tracking future changes. Single job via
cronjob(action='resnap', job_id=...) or hermes cron resnap <id>; bulk via
cronjob(action='resnap', all=true) or hermes cron resnap --all. Refuses to
guess scope when neither is given. The drift-guard alert now points at both
options (pin vs resnap). No inference call is made — it recomputes the
snapshot string from config.
Follow-up to the cherry-picked #102431 fix, addressing the review findings:
- The two real-helper scheduler tests ran the Linux-only helper unmarked
and failed on macOS/Windows; the surviving one is now `linux_only`.
- `_warn_scope_degraded_once` used a bare `os.getuid()` that tripped
scripts/check-windows-footguns.py --all (lint lane red). The remedy text
is now built once in the helper and passed into the warning, so the
"scope binary vanished" case no longer warns about a missing D-Bus.
- Tests trimmed to the invariant bar: degraded != in_process and warns
once (helper level); default config still Popens externally and
`require_restart_safe_scope: true` raises (scheduler level, real helper).
Dropped the stubbed duplicate, the standalone config-raise test and the
in_process half already covered by the existing passthrough test.
- `GatewayChildDispatch.reason` had no reader outside a test; removed.
- Both degrade branches share one local `_degrade(detail)`.
- The per-fire config read uses `load_config_readonly()` (no deepcopy)
with the same `except Exception` guard as the sibling
`failure_nudge_threshold` read, so a config error no longer escapes
the launcher.
- Kanban's no-run-id guard fails closed for any non-`in_process` mode
instead of matching one enum value.
- Rationale restated in six places collapsed to the helper docstring;
`cron.require_restart_safe_scope` documented in the cron user guide.
A systemd-supervised gateway (INVOCATION_ID set) with no user D-Bus
session (containers, minimal LXCs, supervisors without linger) fails
EVERY scheduled job at dispatch: restart_safe_gateway_child_argv()
raises, run_one_job() records a failure, and the only symptom is
silently skipped executions (a missed nightly backup, dead watchdogs,
no alert).
Cron now degrades to a direct external subprocess with a
once-per-process warning instead of raising, unless
cron.require_restart_safe_scope=true (config.yaml, default false)
restores fail-closed. Degraded jobs keep process separation and the
full #101940 ownership handoff - only cgroup isolation is lost, so a
mid-job gateway restart kills the worker and the execution ledger
records exactly that.
The dispatch is a GatewayChildDispatch NamedTuple (in_process /
scoped / degraded) so the degraded case can never collapse into the
"not managed, stay in-process" sentinel - the failure mode that would
recreate the restart-interruption edge #101940 closed.
Kanban stays fail-closed (require_restart_safe_scope=True at its call
sites): its workers are long-lived agentic runs, so the degrade policy
is limited to bounded cron jobs in this PR.
Addresses the #102431 review: the env-var flag became a config key per
AGENTS.md (no new HERMES_* non-secret vars), Kanban keeps fail-closed
instead of updating its tests to a degraded contract, main's
enable-linger remedy message is preserved, and the degrade warning
fires once per process.
Under gateway.multiplex_profiles a secondary profile X is ticked, dispatched
and notified from the default profile's process, where os.environ holds the
DEFAULT profile's .env and X's values live only in the per-turn secret scope /
HERMES_HOME override. Every remaining read that skipped that scope made X
behave differently from `hermes -p X gateway run`:
- cron: HERMES_CRON_TIMEOUT, HERMES_MODEL (job/preflight fallback),
HERMES_CRON_MAX_PARALLEL, inflight allowance, prefill file and the script
timeout were bare os.getenv → the default profile's values; a job without a
model silently ran on the default's HERMES_MODEL instead of refusing.
cron/env_settings.py::cron_env_setting reads the scope (fire) or the ticked
home's .env (tick thread), plain environ when multiplexing is off.
- child env: the restart-safe cron worker, the Bot Chat delivery child and the
kanban worker inherited the launch profile's non-credential .env settings
and bridged TERMINAL_* policy (TERMINAL_ENV=docker, default's image,
HERMES_MODEL) — X's worker ran in the default's docker image on the
default's model. tools/environments/local.py::strip_launch_profile_env drops
them when the child targets another served profile.
- kanban: the worker --toolsets pin was silently dropped for every served
assignee (toolset probes call get_secret without a scope → swallowed
UnscopedSecretError); notifier pings, artifact uploads and the wake text ran
under the default's media policy / display language (only wake() was scoped).
- /loop: _post_turn_loop_completion hopped to the executor without contextvars,
writing the completed tick into the DEFAULT profile's state.db and leaving
X's row awaiting_response forever; the --until judge ran with the default's
aux credentials.
- background processes: a secondary's processes.json (scope-relative since
adf23550f5) was never read at startup; its processes were not re-adopted
and notify_on_complete notices were lost. Startup recovers every served
home under its scope; recovery adopts each session once.
- completion delivery: background_process_notifications was evaluated once per
drain for the ambient profile (default's mode for everyone; X's `off`
dropped a sibling's `all` event), recovered watchers used the default's
mode, HERMES_BACKGROUND_NOTIFICATIONS was read raw from environ;
_deliver_platform_notice used the default's GatewayConfig so a secondary's
notice_delivery: private went public.
Not changed: gateway/run.py and tools/async_delegation.py (PR #106742
rewrites both). Known residue left for the env-bridge lane:
HERMES_SESSION_STALL_TIMEOUT is bridged once from the launch config.
scheduler bug, not a parity gap; unchanged here.
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.

Addresses #102041
A global model/provider change must never stop a cron job. The #44585 guard
raised [drift_skip] for every unpinned job whose provider_snapshot /
model_snapshot no longer matched the live global default, so one `hermes model`
switch silently killed whole fleets (reported by fastfinge, nitinthewiz,
Dr-ilies; 13 of 60 jobs on the project lead's box after
claude-fable-5 -> claude-fable-5.1).
The snapshot is now the job's effective pin: _load_cron_job_config prefers
job['model_snapshot'] over the global default and _resolve_job_runtime passes
job['provider_snapshot'] as `requested` when neither a per-job pin nor a
cron.model / cron.model_provider fleet default covers the axis. One INFO line
per differing axis tells the operator what the job is running on and how to
move it. Jobs without a snapshot (legacy records) still follow the global
default; the existing fallback chain still handles a snapshot provider that
fails to resolve.
Both goals of #44585 hold: no silent inherit of a paid default (the job runs on
what it was created under) and no outage. Owner decision (Teknium): "main agent
model changing should not stop crons from executing, ever".
Removed as unreachable: _check_model_drift, DRIFT_SKIP markers, the
drift_alerted alert-once bit (mark_drift_alerted + the _record_run_outcome pop),
the drift special-cases in _compose_run_delivery and
_summarize_cron_failure_for_delivery, cron_model_drift_guard_enabled and the
cron.model_drift_guard config key (v42 migration drops it from existing
configs). The PLUGIN-COMPAT clear_drift_alerted block is untouched (scheduled
revert).
The `hermes config set model.default` notice and the Desktop model-change toast
are reworded from "will fail closed / will be skipped" to "keep running on the
model they were created under"; the impact payload drops guard_enabled (all six
desktop locales updated).
A system-level gateway unit has no ordering against user@<uid>.service and
linger may be enabled after boot, so the bus can appear after the one-shot
adoption in run_gateway() ran. Derive XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
fresh for the availability probe and every scoped spawn (cron worker, Kanban
worker, PTY/pipe terminal spawns, scope cleanup) so the 60s failure TTL can
actually recover. Refs #104893.
Route local producers to durable owner ingress before attempting the unowned
CLI lane. Preserve per-run/per-message IDs and receipt-first retry handling;
never fall back after ambiguous admission. Report cron admission as queued,
not completed or failed, in job status, the execution ledger and CLI/tool UX.
Native isolated Electron validation reproduces SESSION_NOT_OWNED on main for
both idle and busy owners. Fixed owner consumes idle cron, busy cron, local
DM and mounted-chat cron exactly once, keeps its lease, yields to queued
human input, and preserves the prior model-request prefix and tool schema.
Inference alone used a deterministic loopback wire stub; no paid model call.
Persist paused state, timestamp, reason and no first trigger in the original
locked creation write. Forward the same boolean contract across CLI, tool,
gateway API and dashboard API, validating at the store boundary. Preserve
explicit operator force-run behavior and normal enabled creation.
The live CLI probe also caught the command shim dropping failure return codes;
forward them so invalid creation reports exit 1 rather than success.

Capture the exact UTC scheduled instant before either due scanning or the
external fire claim advances jobs.json. Bind it to the durable attempt
before worker handoff; manual and unclassified direct attempts stay null.
Consult any retained completed matching row, independently of stale stamps,
claim-time windows, and newer failed attempts. Preserve unknown and legacy
attempt eligibility rather than guessing that a side effect completed.
Real isolated restart probes reproduce duplicate script writes on base and
suppress them on the fix for builtin tick and provider fire. Distinct and
manual occurrences still execute. The campaign-serialized cron suite is
queued; this progressive commit preserves the verified integration step.

The deferral helpers from the previous commit were appended to the cron/scheduler.py facade and
carried ~70 lines of fallbacks (getattr/callable checks, result() waits, a teardown_registered
flag) for hypothetical Future doubles; the only producer is _cron_pool.submit, always a real
concurrent.futures.Future whose done()/add_done_callback() cannot raise. Also drops the
_finalize_cron_session_db passthrough. Behaviour unchanged; the test now asserts the
finalize+teardown contract on the real Future instead of a patched wrapper.
The #102827 corruption is pure zero holes -- frames lost across a WAL
generation. SessionDB.close() produces exactly that when it runs against a
file another live handle is still writing: PRAGMA wal_checkpoint(PASSIVE),
then the connection close that lets SQLite unlink -wal/-shm. The dangerous
event is a physical close overlapping any other live physical lifetime for
the same path, so both sides of it are closed here.
Late write vs. close: a cron watchdog timeout only stops waiting, and
ThreadPoolExecutor.shutdown(wait=False) cannot interrupt a worker already
inside run_conversation. The agent and its registry reference are now held
until that worker's Future completes, so its last frames land before any
checkpoint.
Close vs. open: the per-path barrier now COUNTS admitted teardowns. A path
can own several closes at once -- the current generation's final release and
a retired generation's drain are admitted independently under the registry
lock, and the per-path mutex only serializes teardowns that already entered
it. With one bare event per path, a releasing thread descheduled between
generation removal and the mutex let the next teardown to settle remove and
signal the shared event: close_all() returned over a pending close and
acquire() published a replacement writer on top of a handle still inside
checkpoint/unlink. _TeardownBarrier tracks event + pending count,
_admit_teardown_locked registers each close in the same lock section that
removes the generation, and only the last settled teardown lifts the
barrier. Physical I/O stays outside the registry lock and unrelated paths
still progress independently.
The auto-archive sweep called release_or_close in its finally while the
import was local to a different function, so every eligible sweep raised
NameError, the outer except Exception swallowed it at debug level, and the
borrowed registry reference was never returned -- a holder leak that pins a
retired generation open. The helper is now bound in the calling scope.
Remaining in-process writable SessionDB() call sites (trace upload, the
API-server profile cache, the web-server writable paths, startup schema
reconcile) go through the canonical registry acquire/release_or_close, and
gateway maintenance borrows pinned handles instead of iterating an unpinned
snapshot.
Regressions: overlapping final releases of the current and retired
generations in both orderings with the first paused before the lifecycle
mutex, teardown-error settlement, an unrelated-path control, and refcount
assertions for the auto-archive sweep on success, on failure, across
repeated sweeps and with auto-archive disabled.

Every PLUGIN-COMPAT __getattr__ now calls hermes_cli.plugin_compat.warn_once(facade, name, target) before
resolving, emitting a HermesPluginCompatWarning (FutureWarning) once per process per name: old path, new
path, removal target. Importing a facade for its live API stays silent; only resolving a moved name warns.
COMPAT_MANIFEST.md documents the warning and how to silence it during migration.
Verified the runtime never routes through a pointer: every entry point (run_agent, cli, hermes_cli.main,
gateway.run, tui_gateway.server, web_server, model_tools + tool discovery, hermes_state, cron.scheduler,
browser_tool, mcp_tool, kanban, auth) imports clean and `hermes doctor` runs end to end with the warning
promoted to an error.
Also restores the check_compat_pointers CI step to .github/workflows/lint.yml, which a0be177aac dropped
when the compat layer was regenerated (the lint script itself was present; the workflow step was not).
hermes_cli/plugin_compat.py, tests/test_plugin_compat_warning.py and the two-line insert per facade are
part of the compat layer and go away with it.
The Sep 2026 decomposition (PR #102117) makes internal import paths a non-API: names now live in
the focused modules that define them. This commit is the ONLY thing keeping the old paths alive,
so external plugins have time to update. It is deliberately a single, unsquashed commit:
git revert <this sha>
removes every shim, stub and manifest at once on the announced date. Nothing in-tree may depend on
these pointers: scripts/check_compat_pointers.py (wired into lint.yml) fails CI if it does.
What it adds (see COMPAT_MANIFEST.md, compat_manifest.json):
- 332 facade modules get one delimited `PLUGIN-COMPAT` block appended at the end of the file
- 1,172 moved names resolved lazily via a module `__getattr__` (PEP 562) — never a top-level import,
so no import cycles; facades that already had `__getattr__` get a chained one
- 592 third-party/stdlib names the old modules used to expose, with their original import statements
- 266 public definitions that had been deleted as unused, restored byte-for-byte from the pre-decomposition
tree (+40 private helpers and 16 imports pulled in only because a restored definition needs them)
- 3 deleted modules recreated as re-export stubs (gateway/startup_watchdog, hermes_cli/observability/
relay_runtime, tools/environments/modal_utils)
- private names (`_x`) get no pointer: they were never API (3,792 skipped)
Verified: all 335 touched modules import under a fresh HERMES_HOME and every manifest name resolves;
the lint reports zero in-tree uses; ruff clean; targeted suites unchanged.
hermes_state.py: delete every '# noqa: F401 (re-exported...)' import block (hermes_state_common/errors/guard/
readpool/sessions/fts/dbfile/wal/repair/registry + agent.context_compressor _DB_PERSISTED_MARKER_KEY); keep
only the names hermes_state.py itself uses, without noqa.
hermes_state_registry.py: drop get_shared_session_db/release_shared_session_db/close_shared_session_dbs
aliases; every caller (gateway/, tools/, tui_gateway/, cron/, mcp_serve, run_agent, tests) now imports
acquire/release/close_all/release_or_close from hermes_state_registry.
hermes_state_titles.py: drop set_auto_title_if_empty shim (title_generator keeps its getattr fallback).
Re-remove shim-only names restored by 34abf954bd: latest_user_message_row_id (tests call
latest_message_row_id(key, role='user'); role-targeting assertions kept) and get_session_activity (tests
build the snapshot via agent.session_activity.build_activity_snapshot over db.get_session(sid)).
hermes_state_wal._log_once resolves its dedupe sets as module globals instead of via hermes_state;
hermes_state_repair helpers call module globals directly (tests patch hermes_state_repair.<name>).
Frozen updater surface untouched (update_cmd_maint imports only SessionDB from hermes_state).
cron/scheduler.py no longer re-exports the split modules (scheduler_delivery /
_script / _prompt / _preflight); it imports only the 19 names it calls itself
(bottom-of-file, E402 kept for the import cycle). Dropped the shim-only
`import shutil` and the F401 note on windows_hide_flags (still used by
scheduler.py). Split modules now call same-module helpers directly, reach
sibling split modules via late-bound module refs (_delivery/_script/_preflight)
next to _sched, and import windows_hide_flags themselves; origin-resident names
(load_config, Path, _SCRIPT_TIMEOUT, heartbeat_run_claim, ...) still go through
_sched. Callers/tests import + patch the defining module.
For each issue anchor present in BASE 63279301bc non-test .py and absent on HEAD, the BASE comment/docstring block was re-attached at the HEAD location of the code it explained (matched by the distinctive code line / enclosing def). Sentences already covered by an existing HEAD comment were deduped; the issue number always survives. Insert-only: no code lines changed.
Review fold-in on the salvage of #101877:
- `_deliver_result` routed to the durable queue whenever the worker's
`_HERMES_CRON_EXTERNAL_WORKER` marker was set, regardless of WHICH job was
delivering. A worker whose script dispatches another job in-process
(`hermes cron run <other>`) inherits that env and would have queued the
nested job's message under the outer execution id — `INSERT OR IGNORE`
then drops it silently. Match the marker against the delivering job's own
`execution_id`, as `run_one_job` already does. Regression test added
(mutation-checked: fails with the guard removed).
- A `pending` row left queued at the worker's wait timeout was still
reported as a delivery error, so `mark_job_run` recorded
`last_status=delivery_failed` for a message the next gateway's drain goes
on to send, and nothing ever corrects the job record. Log and return
success instead; the deliveries row is the authority for the send.
- Reuse `cron.executions._TERMINAL_STATES` in the parent wait loop instead
of a second hardcoded terminal set.
Follow-up to the salvaged restart-safe worker (#101877):
- delivery_queue: a row still `pending` at the worker's wait timeout was
marked `failed` and never drained, so any gateway outage longer than the
300s budget (e.g. a restart that runs `hermes update`) silently lost the
delivery. Unclaimed rows are certainly unsent, not uncertain — leave them
queued for the next gateway; only mid-send rows are fenced `unknown`.
- delivery_queue: stop running the full-table prune UPDATE+COUNT inside
every transaction (each `get_status` poll paid for it; terminalizing
paths already prune explicitly); poll at 1s instead of 250ms.
- delivery_queue/executions: use `hermes_state.apply_wal_with_fallback`
(bare `journal_mode=WAL` raises on NFS/SMB homes) and the race-safe
`hermes_cli.sqlite_util.add_column_if_missing`; drop the copied
owner-liveness helpers in favour of the ones in cron.executions.
- scheduler: the parent waited on the worker by re-opening the executions
ledger every 50ms for the whole run (~20 opens/s, hours). Wait on the
process with a 1s timeout instead — the worker commits its terminal row
before exiting — and reap stranded payload/ack files once terminal.
- scheduler: skip the housekeeping drain until a worker has actually
created deliveries.db, so non-systemd gateways never open it.
- scheduler: set up hermes logging in the detached worker entrypoint; it
runs with stdout/stderr on DEVNULL and previously logged nowhere.
- tests: test_lost_fire_claim_stops_stale_delivery still mocked
`mark_execution_running -> None`, which now means "ownership lost, return
before run_job" — the test passed without ever reaching the path it
names. Mocking `{}` restores it (mutation-checked).
cron/scheduler.py 6386 -> 3423. Four sibling modules hold the free-function clusters,
re-exported from cron.scheduler so every existing import/monkeypatch target keeps resolving;
origin-resident helpers are reached late-bound via `_sched` (same-object visibility, no
import cycle). Every moved node is AST-identical to the base. Source-inspection test for the
bash resolver repointed to cron/scheduler_script.py.
cron/scheduler.py (8535 -> 6353):
- _deliver_result split into per-target helpers: _resolve_target_transport (live/relay/standalone
transport + enablement), _deliver_via_live_adapter (_live_route_metadata for Telegram DM-topic
vs forum routing, _live_send_text with the cancel()-based timeout disambiguation,
_live_send_media, _seed_live_delivery_sessions), _standalone_send/_deliver_standalone. The
three interpreter-shutdown skip branches and the repeated log+append+continue pattern collapse
into one _note_target_error / one shutdown message; _TargetDelivery carries per-target state.
- Thread/channel session seeding unified into _seed_cron_session (was two near-identical
functions).
- run_job decomposed into _run_no_agent_job, _apply_monitor_gate, _load_cron_job_config
(_CronJobConfig), _resolve_job_runtime, _check_model_drift, _open_cron_session_db,
_run_agent_with_watchdog, _finalize_cron_session, plus one _run_doc_header and one _audit
closure for the success/failure paths.
- _run_one_job_body: ownership-lost bookkeeping, delivery composition and outcome classification
extracted; tick: _acquire_tick_lock/_release_tick_lock, _maybe_reap_dead_owners,
_sweep_stale_inflight_for_tick, _process_due_job, _submit_with_guard.
- _build_job_prompt: context_from injection and skill loading extracted; one
_prepend_context_block for the four fenced-data blocks.
- One _start_heartbeat_thread for the script- and fire-claim heartbeat threads.
- Dropped unreachable return in SharedRouteAdapters.get; boolean-return and nested-if shapes
collapsed.
- Comments/docstrings compacted by hand, rationale kept (fd-leak reason for the late SessionDB
close callback, title-persistence rules, no_agent classification gate, inactivity-vs-provider
timeout ordering, stale-claim force-release, interruption token keying).
Follow-up to the failure_deliver salvage (#100375):
- _preflight_check_delivery also checks the failure lane, so a typo'd
failure_deliver platform blocks at config-validation time instead of
surfacing only when a failure occurs — exactly when the notice must
not be lost. Duplicate lanes are checked once.
- The dashboard cron-update normalizer treats failure_deliver like
deliver (text normalization; empty clears the optional override
instead of coalescing), closing the one update path that could write
an unnormalized value into jobs.json.
4 guard tests; both fixes mutation-checked (neutralize -> red, restore -> green).
Review findings (Salt, NS-788):
B1: delivery_outcome classification, unresolved_origin, and incident
'alerted' marking all read the deliver lane while the notice itself was
routed through failure_deliver — a silenced failure recorded
delivery_outcome='delivered' and marked its incident alerted (corrupting
the 'failure seen' vs 'operator was pinged' distinction the incident
store documents), and a failure delivered via failure_deliver over an
unresolvable deliver=origin recorded 'not_configured'. New
_delivery_lane_value() helper feeds the SAME lane to routing and
bookkeeping at all five sites (both classifiers, both unresolved_origin
computations, both zero-target checks). Three regression tests assert
outcome + alerted-marking; verified to bite on the pre-fix classifier.
S1: failure_deliver now goes through _resolve_cron_context_deliver on
tool create/update, matching deliver — a job created from inside a cron
run can no longer store literal 'origin' in its failure lane.
S2/T1: corrected the false 'same helper' comment in create_job; the
str/list flatten mirrors the tool layer for direct callers.
Full cron suite + interrupt tests: 87 files, 1112 passed, 0 failed.
Coatue FR (Frank Long): jobs delivering into shared channels publish
engine failure notices ('⚠️ Cron X failed…') to those channels with no
opt-out. Adds an optional per-job failure_deliver field sharing
deliver's grammar: on failure, targets resolve from failure_deliver
when set (local = structural silence; state still recorded in
last_status/last_error/run history). Success delivery is unchanged;
absent field = today's behavior byte-for-byte.
Honored by every failure-category engine notice: the run_job failure
summary (+streak nudge), the escaped-failure retry path, drift-skip and
blocked-config alerts (composed into the same delivery), and the
gateway-shutdown interrupted-run notice (_notify_interrupted_cron_jobs).
Surfaces: cronjob tool create/update (same bot-chat validation as
deliver; '' clears on update), hermes cron create/edit
--failure-deliver, docs tip in automate-with-cron.
Existing fake_deliver test doubles gained **kwargs for the new
for_failure keyword — signature-compat only, no behavior change.
Under gateway.multiplex_profiles a shared-token satellite profile (routed
via gateway.profile_routes, no bot credential of its own) got an empty
adapter map from the multiplex ticker, so _deliver_result fell through to
the standalone sender under the satellite's secret scope and failed with
"DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN is not set" — even though the primary adapter owns the
exact routed channel and had delivered the same target before. Preflight
already rescued this topology (#97476); the delivery half did not.
- cron/scheduler.py: factor the preflight's primary-config route loader into
`_primary_profile_routes_for_current_home()` (one owner for both halves,
so route semantics cannot drift) and add `SharedRouteAdapters`, a
read-only view over the primary adapter map that resolves an adapter for
a (platform, target) ONLY when an enabled primary route with a
chat_id/thread_id maps that exact target to the current profile —
using the same `ProfileRoute.matches` predicate as inbound routing.
`_deliver_result` resolves the transport per target from it; everything
else (unmatched chat, disabled route, route for another profile, no
primary adapter, guild-only route) is a miss and never uses the primary
bot. Execution stays scoped to the satellite; no credential is copied.
- cron/scheduler_provider.py: a secondary with no adapter map of its own
gets the SharedRouteAdapters view instead of `{}`. This is NOT a default
fallback: with no matching route the view is falsy and delivers nothing.
Fixes#101113
Two mechanisms let the desktop multiplex ticker deliver a secondary
profile's cron output through the default profile's identity:
1. _deliver_result's `asyncio.run` ThreadPoolExecutor fallback (taken when
the caller already has a running loop — the desktop dashboard shape) ran
the standalone sender on a fresh thread with NO profile ContextVars: the
home override and secret scope were gone, so the sender resolved the
process default's home/token (or, fail-closed under multiplex, raised
UnscopedSecretError). Wrap the submit in copy_context().run like the
session-db (:6562), heartbeat (:4650) and parallel-pool (:8314) workers.
2. _start_desktop_cron_ticker ticked EVERY local profile, including ones
whose own gateway (with live adapters) is running; winning the tick-lock
race meant the adapter-less desktop ticker delivered standalone. The
multiplex loop gains an optional per-cycle `profile_gate(name, home)`;
the desktop wires it to `_check_gateway_running(home)` so such profiles
are neither ticked nor heartbeated by the dashboard while their gateway
is alive (re-evaluated every cycle, no restart needed).
Fixes#100489
A multiplexed Hermes process (gateway.multiplex_profiles, unified
dashboard/TUI, or cron) serves several profiles at once, but terminal.*
resolved through process-global TERMINAL_* env vars bridged ONCE at
startup from the launch profile (gateway/run.py ~2700-2760) plus the
one-shot _ensure_terminal_env_bridged() guard. Every routed profile
therefore inherited the launch profile's backend, cwd, docker volumes,
SSH target and shared-container key: a local profile ran inside another
profile's docker sandbox (or a docker profile escaped to the host), and a
container labeled profile A carried profile B's RW bind mounts.
Fix: an authoritative per-profile terminal policy seam, mirroring
agent/secret_scope.py:
- tools/terminal_scope.py: ContextVar holding the routed profile's
COMPLETE effective TERMINAL_* policy (defined defaults <- profile .env
TERMINAL_* <- config.yaml terminal:). While bound, terminal_env()
resolves ONLY from it - an omitted key yields the defined default,
never os.environ. Unreadable/malformed policy installs a refusal
scope; terminal_tool / execute_code refuse instead of running under
ambient launch-process policy (fail closed).
- Installed at every in-process profile boundary: gateway
_profile_runtime_scope, tui_gateway session/build/turn scopes, cron
per-job fire. The unscoped single-process path is byte-identical.
- Every terminal.* consumer reads through the scope: terminal_tool
(_get_env_config, _resolve_container_task_id shared key, orphan
reaper lifetime, degraded mode), gateway/platforms/base.py docker
media translation (volumes, shared key, persistence), runtime_cwd /
agent_init / skill_utils / code_execution_tool / file_tools cwd
anchors, prompt_builder / browser_tool / env_probe backend checks,
gateway footer, @-refs and slash-command cwd. env_probe resolves the
backend in the caller's context, since the probe worker thread does
not inherit the ContextVar.
Salvage of #99225 onto current main: adds the three ambient reads the PR
missed (tools/file_tools.py TERMINAL_CWD, tools/browser_tool.py and
tools/env_probe.py TERMINAL_ENV; shape from #79117) and trims the test
module to the leak matrix driven through the real gateway boundary,
omitted-key defaults, refusal, and boundary reset.

De-risking for the notify=True UX change: the marker is now driven by
cron.delivery.notify (config.yaml, default true = current behaviour), read
once per delivery and applied to both the text and media routes; a missing or
malformed section keeps the default.
An evidence-free live-adapter ack (bare SendResult(success=True) from
Slack/Matrix/Mattermost) is still accepted, but the target is recorded on the
job as last_delivery_unverified (cleared by the next evidenced delivery) so
the state shows up in 'hermes cron list' (⚠ Delivery UNVERIFIED), 'hermes cron
doctor', and the cronjob tool listing — not only in a WARNING log line.
Live repro (real _deliver_result + real 'hermes cron list' against a temp
HERMES_HOME, Slack target, SendResult(success=True)): before — list showed
nothing beyond the Deliver line and route metadata always carried
notify=true; after — list prints the UNVERIFIED line, and
cron.delivery.notify: false yields notify=false in the route metadata.
A cron job fired, the scheduler logged "delivered to telegram:<chat> via
live adapter", and nothing reached Telegram (#77763). The log line was not
evidence of a send:
* the silence-narration filter returns {"success": True, "delivered": False}
(a successful *drop*), and the dict-normalization branch read only
"success", so a filtered message counted as delivered;
* an empty payload (no text, no media) skipped the send entirely and still
fell into the "delivered" branch;
* the log line named the chat but not the lane, so a wrong-thread delivery
and a phantom one are indistinguishable after the fact.
_confirm_adapter_delivery now inspects both result shapes: an explicit
`delivered: False` is a rejection even with a truthy `success`, and a
success with no message_id and no raw_response is accepted but logged as
UNVERIFIED. The empty-payload case fails closed into the existing
standalone/warn handling, and the delivered log carries thread= and
message_id=.
Failing closed on the live lane is only half the fix on a native target:
the standalone fallback sent the same empty payload, and the Telegram
adapter returns SendResult(success=True) for empty content without an API
call — a phantom live delivery became a phantom standalone one. Both
_send_to_platform call sites now sit behind one skip guard, so "empty
payload fails closed" holds on every lane (#77763).
A gateway process opened state.db from ~12 call sites, each minting its
own writer connection, self._lock, close-time WAL checkpoint, and
token-writer thread. With N independent writers on one WAL file, one
connection's close-time checkpoint could race another's growth — the
lost/reordered-page-write signature across 11+ incidents (#90837).
Adds hermes_state_registry.py: a process-wide, per-path, refcounted
shared registry owning the writer boundary.
- acquire(path): same resolved path returns the same instance (one
writer connection, one lock, one token-writer thread) for every
long-lived in-process caller (gateway runner, SessionStore, per-agent
lazy recall, cron per-job, mirror, channel_directory, slash_commands,
shutdown_flush, session_search, react_to_message, delegate, mcp_serve,
auto_archive, tui_gateway).
- close() on a shared instance is a NO-OP — the registry owns the
lifecycle, so one caller's close can never tear down a writer other
callers still hold.
- Generation-aware retirement on inode change: a replaced state.db
RETIRES the live generation (never lent again) but keeps it alive for
existing holders; release is object-keyed so holders of the old
generation drain it independently of the new one. The old
generation's own write path still fails with the typed
StateDbReplacedError (existing protection, unchanged).
- Replacement-open failure leaves NO registry entry for the path —
the next acquire retries fresh, never hands out a closed stale object.
- All teardown runs OUTSIDE the registry lock: a final release's WAL
checkpoint can never stall acquisition for every state.db.
- close_shared_session_dbs() at gateway shutdown drains every
generation (live + retired) as the final safety net.
CLI one-shots, recovery flows, and read-only cross-profile opens keep
using SessionDB() directly with their own close() — only long-lived
in-process sites route through the registry.
References #90837 (root-cause tracker stays open: the #10 EOF signature
and the WAL-lifecycle A/B verdict remain under investigation there).
