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.
Breaks the two import cycles that forced Protocol stand-ins in the F821 sweep, so the two
sites now name the real types.
gateway/platforms/event.py (new leaf): MessageType, ProcessingOutcome, MessageEvent moved
out of base.py verbatim. Their only dependency is gateway.session.SessionSource; base.py
imported helpers.py at module level, so helpers could not name MessageEvent. Now
TextBatchAggregator is typed by the real MessageEvent. 249 importers repointed
(`from gateway.platforms.base import` -> `.event`, preserving each import's layout);
gateway.platforms.__init__ re-exports from .event. The three revert-scheduled PLUGIN-COMPAT
pointers that named these symbols (gateway.slash_commands → MessageType, dingtalk → MessageType,
photon → ProcessingOutcome) and their COMPAT_MANIFEST rows now target gateway.platforms.event.
Docs updated: ADDING_A_PLATFORM.md, adding-platform-adapters.md (en + zh-Hans).
tools/mcp_tool_sampling.py: ElicitationHandler no longer holds a back-reference to its
MCPServerTask (mcp_tool imports sampling, so the task type cannot be named there). It only
ever read owner._pending_call_context, so it takes `call_context: Callable[[], Context | None]`
and MCPServerTask passes `lambda: self._pending_call_context`. The consent call is one
`functools.partial`, run directly or inside the captured Context.
ty on the 11 touched production files vs origin/main: 0 new diagnostics, 14 resolved.
(The one `source: SessionSource = None` diagnostic moves with the class; typing it Optional
exposes ~60 unguarded call sites — separate follow-up.)
Tests: tests/gateway + tests/plugins + tests/tools + touched files, 18,235 passed; the 31
failures reproduce identically on origin/main (macOS /private/tmp, systemd socket,
long-path fixtures, live-service tests).
Review finding (quality pass): on a single-profile gateway,
_handle_busy_command set _busy_input_mode but left _busy_text_mode
stale, so the adapter refresh a line later re-read the old value —
/busy queue persisted to config but live text messages kept
interrupting until restart. The profile path already re-derives both
from the fresh config; the non-profile path now does the same via
_load_busy_text_mode() (busy_input_mode is the source of truth,
run.py:9877). Regression assertion added to test_set_mode_persists;
verified red without the production fix.
Teknium review items:
1. Parse with event.get_command_args() instead of raw event.text
(matching _handle_fast_command pattern at line 2842)
2. Add mocked persistence tests for queue/steer/interrupt setter
success, save-failure, and exception branches (5 new tests)
Removes cli_only=True from /busy CommandDef and adds gateway
handler with subcommand dispatch (status/queue/steer/interrupt).
Applied on top of latest upstream/main while preserving original
commit intent from PR #18366.
Also adds smoke tests for the gateway /busy command handler.
