Telegram RetryAfter on send() slept the server retry_after with no
ceiling, so a 97-minute penalty pinned the coroutine. Mirror the edit
path: waits over 5s return immediately; short waits still retry inline.
prefers_fresh_final_streaming read only the raw direct_messages_topic_id
key; the adapter's canonical accessor _metadata_direct_messages_topic_id
also accepts the documented telegram_direct_messages_topic_id alias
(treated as equivalent in gateway/delivery.py), so an alias-only lane
would still flatten tables. Route the gate through the accessor and pin
the alias with a regression (mutation-checked: raw-key gate fails it).
Also reshape the happy-path endpoint assertion into the actual invariant
(sendRichMessage present, no rich draft frames) instead of a frozen call
list. Surfaced during review of PR #91436.
#91241 stopped root-DM tables collapsing to bullets by keeping native
draft transport when rich_drafts is off. Private Telegram topics still
reject sendMessageDraft (string thread ids, forum-style thread fields),
so the stream consumer falls back to edit-in-place. Telegram then
rejects a rich edit of that plain MarkdownV2 preview and format_message
permanently rewrites pipe tables into bullet lists — the remaining
report after that merge.
Route drafts through the same integer topic kwargs as send(), and on
that degraded topic path prefer a fresh sendRichMessage (then delete
the preview) instead of the table-to-bullets formatter.
The network-error reconnect path (PR #91524) was the only site converted
from asyncio.wait_for to _await_with_thread_deadline. The same
cancellation-shielding vulnerability exists at two more updater.stop()
sites:
- Conflict-retry path: asyncio.wait_for could hang forever if PTB/AnyIO
cleanup swallowed CancelledError, stalling the conflict-retry ladder.
Now uses _await_with_thread_deadline and escalates to fatal on timeout
(same reasoning: cannot safely reuse an Updater whose lifecycle lock
may still be held).
- Conflict-exhausted fatal path: asyncio.wait_for could hang before the
fatal notification fired. Now uses _await_with_thread_deadline; the
timeout handler already proceeds to fatal notify, so no behavior change
beyond the deadline mechanism.
All three asyncio.wait_for(updater.stop()) sites now use the
thread-deadline helper consistently.
Use the existing wall-clock deadline helper for updater.stop() during network recovery. If PTB cleanup remains cancellation-shielded past the deadline, escalate to retryable fatal recovery so the runner builds a fresh adapter instead of calling start_polling() while the old Updater may still hold its lifecycle lock.
Add regression coverage with stop() swallowing cancellation while holding the same lock start_polling() needs, and verify the old Updater is never reused.
Both polling reconnect paths end on the same 'health pending getUpdates
progress' line, and _record_polling_progress completed silently — so the
log stream for 'reconnected and healthy' was byte-identical to
'reconnected and hung', and a wedged long-poll (#87057 / #69314 /
#71239 class) stayed invisible until a user noticed silence. The only
detection method was sending the bot a test message (#90504).
Emit one INFO on the first confirmed getUpdates round-trip of each
generation, inside the existing event-set branch so steady-state polling
adds no log volume. This turns the pending line into a resolvable pair
('health pending' -> 'confirmed healthy') whose absence after a
reconnect is a reliable hung-poll signature.
Fixes#90504
Adapter ingress derives a session key BEFORE the runner stamps
source.profile in _make_profile_message_handler, so the namespace fell
back to the active profile and every bot in a multiplexed gateway
produced agent:main:<platform>:<chat>. A Telegram private chat reports
the user's own id as chat.id, identical for every bot, so two profiles
sharing one human collapsed onto a single lane: _pending_text_batches,
_active_sessions, the busy-session guard and _post_delivery_callbacks are
all keyed on that string. A day of production logs across two bots shows
60 flushes, none carrying the secondary profile's namespace.
set_owner_profile records credential ownership on the adapter and
_session_key_profile resolves the namespace as source.profile ->
_owner_profile -> the session store's resolver, so a secondary adapter
keys into its own namespace even before the source is stamped. Stamped
sources keep priority, so relay/connector ingress, which routes per event
rather than per credential, is unchanged. _configure_profile_adapter
installs the owner alongside the other handlers, covering startup and
reconnect.
Every candidate is type-checked as a non-blank str, and every attribute
read goes through getattr: adapters are routinely built without
BasePlatformAdapter.__init__, and a duck-typed session store returns a
truthy non-string that would otherwise be interpolated into the key as
agent:<MagicMock ...>:.
Also routes the four call sites that passed no profile at all (feishu
media batches, raft, slack _session_key_for_source, telegram photo
batches) through the same resolver.
test_multiplex_busy_input_mode's secondary-adapter busy case seeded
_active_sessions with the unstamped agent:main: key, asserting the
pre-fix collapse. It now seeds the lane the profile-owned adapter
actually derives.
A primary adapter has no owner and an unstamped source, so it resolves
exactly as before; with multiplex_profiles off the resolver returns None
and every key is byte-identical to today's.
Healthy IPv4-first connect is the new default path, so two transports
were warning on every successful initialize. Keep warning only when a
literal actually failed first. Also restates the transport docstring
and docs to match IPv4-first, hostname last.
A blackholed IPv6 path to api.telegram.org never errors, so
_await_with_thread_deadline never fires and connect hangs at
"attempt 1/8". Known A-record IPs connect over IPv4 immediately.
DoH timeout now fail-opens to the seed IPv4 list instead of the
hostname. Hostname stays last for IPv6-only hosts.
Closes#87015
`check_telegram_requirements()` re-imports python-telegram-bot after a
lazy install and rebinds the module-level aliases that the top-level
`except ImportError` block set to `typing.Any`. TypeHandler was left out
of all three places: the `global` declaration, the
`from telegram.ext import (...)` list, and the assignments.
So whenever the top-level import fails and the deferred path runs, every
other alias is restored and TELEGRAM_AVAILABLE flips to True, while
TypeHandler stays `Any`. Handler registration then raises
`TypeError: Any cannot be instantiated` and the gateway reports:
[Telegram] Failed to connect to Telegram: Any cannot be instantiated
Gateway started with no connected platforms
The 22.6 -> 22.8 pin bump named in #85272 is the trigger rather than the
defect: it makes the top-level import fail, which is what routes the
module through the deferred path where the omission has always been.
With gateway.multiplex_profiles enabled, the primary Telegram message
handler is the closure returned by _make_default_profile_message_handler(),
so its __self__ is absent. The early intake filter
(_is_user_authorized_from_message) recovered the GatewayRunner via
self._message_handler.__self__ and, finding none, fell back to env-only
authorization — never evaluating the configured chat allowlist through
GatewayRunner._is_user_authorized(). Every non-global sender was then
default-denied in an explicitly allowlisted group.
Prefer the platform-bound authorization callback registered via
set_authorization_check(): it routes through the runner's full auth chain
(platform + group allowlists, pairing store, allow-all) and survives the
closure wrapping, whereas the bound-handler lookup does not. The bound
handler remains the fallback for setups without a registered callback, and
the pairing-passthrough guard for unknown DMs is preserved.
Fixes#87132
Pre-existing inconsistency: _flush_media_group_event used return
in CancelledError while _flush_text_batch and _flush_photo_batch
used raise. Changed to raise for consistency and to properly
propagate task cancellation. Made more visible by the hold-queue
changes in #83878.
Address review on #83878:
- Permanent fatal fences all hold producers and discards pending maps on
teardown instead of re-populating a queue that can never drain.
- Any hold created while connected schedules a tracked redispatch (cancel-
after-pop no longer orphans until a future reconnect).
- Redispatch failures re-hold current + remainder without tight-looping.
Regression coverage for the three residual paths, plus the interaction
with OOF-156's connect-failure classification: the retryable network
path (telegram_connect_error) must NOT clear the hold queue — reconnect
is precisely what drains it; only non-retryable fatals discard.
The disconnect drop-guard (#55971) correctly prevents dispatch into a
torn-down session. Destroying the event was wrong: by enqueue/flush time
python-telegram-bot has already acked the update and advanced the polling
offset, so Telegram never redelivers. Result: silent permanent loss, no
log, no error.
Hold inbound events (text/photo/media-group) when the drop-guard fires,
salvage pending batch maps on teardown, cancel+await the redispatch task
in the delivery cancel map (lifecycle-tracked), and redispatch from
_mark_connected after reconnect. Cap the hold queue (default 64), dedupe
by object identity, discard on non-retryable fatal. Cancel-after-pop in
flush paths also holds.
Distinct from #72037 (cancel-after-pop during follow-up supersession) and
#81528 (boundary discard). Tests use delay=0 and entered/release Events —
no wall-clock races; includes production terminal-step coverage.
Adds hermes_cli/model_selection_guards.py: a single evaluation point that
runs every selection guard (cost + the new data-policy guard) and returns
the warnings that fired. All seven model-selection surfaces (CLI picker,
cli.py TUI modal, gateway typed /model, dashboard web_server, TUI gateway,
Telegram and Discord pickers) now call the registry instead of importing
model_cost_guard directly — so the data-training-tier warning from
PR #81416 fires everywhere at once, and future guards need zero surface
wiring.
Guard modules keep their public APIs; existing mock patch points
(hermes_cli.model_cost_guard.expensive_model_warning) remain valid.
Fleet triage after the 2026-08-11 storm resolution found agents whose sole
platform had been silently 'retrying' for weeks: revoked Telegram tokens,
Discord privileged-intent rejections, and Photon sidecars that can never
start were all funnelled into the indefinite reconnect queue with no owner
signal (OOF-151/152/153, epic OOF-156).
Two-part fix:
1. Per-adapter classification — by exception TYPE only, never message text:
- telegram: InvalidToken/Forbidden -> telegram_auth_error, retryable=False
(new _looks_like_auth_error, mirrors _looks_like_network_error)
- discord: LoginFailure -> discord_auth_error, PrivilegedIntentsRequired
-> discord_intents_required (both retryable=False); every other path now
sets an explicit code (previously the generic branch set NO fatal info,
which the gateway read as 'probably transient')
- photon: new typed PhotonSidecarStartupError; deps-install failure ->
SIDECAR_DEPS_MISSING and missing node binary -> SIDECAR_NODE_MISSING
(retryable=False); ambiguous startup crashes stay retryable
- email: IMAP/SMTP failures now always set a fatal code;
SMTPAuthenticationError -> email_auth_error, retryable=False (IMAP4.error
is type-ambiguous between bad creds and transient NOs, so IMAP stays
retryable)
2. Gateway escalation — platforms continuously in the reconnect queue past
HERMES_RECONNECT_ATTENTION_AFTER_SECONDS (default 2h, 0 disables) get
needs_attention=true + retrying_since stamped into runtime status, once
per episode, cleared on successful reconnect.
Deliberately NOT a circuit breaker: retries never stop. The auto-pause
mechanism was removed for good reason (transient DNS outages left bots
silently dead); this preserves that and only adds visibility. No new
platform_state enum values — NAS's status schema is strict — only additive
fields.
Unknown exception types always stay retryable: a false terminal recreates
the silently-dead-bot problem, and the escalation path covers
misclassified permanent failures.
Extend the normalized-envelope pipeline shipped in #82063 with new event
types, each with its own versioned, event-local payload contract:
- Telegram: message_edited (edited_message updates; editor-identity auth
extraction, forum topic thread_id, bounded text/caption, ISO edited_at)
- Discord: message_edited, message_deleted, thread_created, thread_renamed
(on_message_edit/delete, on_thread_create/update fire-sites with has_hook
no-subscriber fast-paths, bot-authored events dropped, rename-only
filtering on thread updates)
All events flow through the same gateway-owned post-auth boundary; malformed
or unauthorized events drop, fail closed. Raw SDK payload access is
deliberately NOT shipped (round-2 correction: needs its own
gateway.raw_events capability and design).
The Discord fire-site machinery (no-subscriber fast-path, observer isolation,
connect-time wiring) adapts the observer-hook design from PR #62584
(@paoloantinori) onto the normalized-envelope contract; PR #36875's raw
telegram update hook is superseded by the same correction.
Docs: hooks.md gains per-event payload contract tables.

Builds on Paolo Antinori's #68431 salvage for #64176. Move plugin dispatch behind the profile-scoped runner authorization boundary, fail closed on malformed reaction identities, preserve observer registration across Telegram app rebuilds, and document the deliberately observer-only contract.

- _on_platform_update: log the normalize and auth errors with exc_info=True so
a regression that silently drops reactions leaves a traceback, not just a
one-line message (matches the intake auth fallback's exc_info usage).
- TestRegisterHandlers: also assert five core handlers land in the default
group and only the observer is in group 99.
DoD: hook + auth tests green (34 passed). For a log-line + assertion change
the substantive gate is the test run; /simplify and /code-review were applied
proportionately.
Response to teknium1's hermes-sweeper review (keep_open, salvageability=medium).
1. Post-auth gate. The group-99 catch-all fired gateway_platform_event before
the authorization boundary. Extract _is_source_authorized(source) from
_is_user_authorized_from_message and add _source_from_reaction_for_auth;
reactions whose actor the intake would reject no longer reach plugins.
Fails closed if source extraction raises, so a future non-reaction event
type cannot silently bypass auth before its own extraction is wired.
2. Shared registration. Extract _register_handlers(app) from connect() so the
gateway_platform_event observer (group 99) is re-registered alongside the
core handlers on any rebuild path.
3. Trim inert hook surface. Drop the three reserved gateway_* names from
VALID_HOOKS (keep only gateway_platform_event). The others land with their
real contracts and fire-sites when #64231 is finalized.
Tests: unauthorized/authorized/open reaction gating, fail-closed for a future
non-reaction event type, and _register_handlers re-registration.
Ran /simplify and /code-review (high) before pushing.
First slice of #64176's observer-hook half — a normalized-envelope inbound
event hook, replacing raw-SDK handler args with a stable contract (per #64176's
"normalized versioned envelopes only; raw SDK gated behind a capability" rule).
- VALID_HOOKS: register the four gateway_* names from #64176
(gateway_platform_event fires today; gateway_session_titled /
gateway_message_delivered / gateway_thread_created reserved pending #64176's
fire-sites).
- BasePlatformAdapter._fire_gateway_hook: reusable, has_hook-guarded,
per-call-isolated fire helper (the no-subscriber common case short-circuits).
- TelegramAdapter: a group-99 catch-all TypeHandler normalizes inbound updates
into gateway_platform_event envelopes. message_reaction -> {platform,
event_type:"reaction", payload{emojis, custom_emoji_ids, chat_id, message_id,
thread_id}} (custom-emoji reactions captured via custom_emoji_id; standard via
.emoji — no None in consumer-facing lists). Other update types return None
pending #64176's taxonomy (#64231). Normalization is wrapped so a malformed
update can't raise into PTB dispatch.
Observer-only — zero behavioral change to core dispatch. Supersedes the raw
inbound half of #62584 (telegram:update -> normalized gateway_platform_event).
Tests: VALID_HOOKS registration; _fire_gateway_hook routing/has_hook/isolation;
_normalize for standard, custom-emoji, and mixed reactions + non-reaction;
_on_platform_update firing + normalize-error isolation.
Ran code-review (high) + simplify before pushing.

Fixes#78524
Follow-up to #80700:
1. _await_disconnect_step was missing the try/except CancelledError around
asyncio.wait() that _await_adapter_cleanup_with_timeout already has.
When the outer fatal-handler timeout cancels disconnect() mid-step,
asyncio.wait does NOT cancel its inner task — the task was orphaned
with no observer. Add the same cancel+detach+re-raise pattern.
2. _queue_retryable_fatal_platform omitted credential_claim/listener_claim
keys that all 3 startup-path queue sites include. These are consumed by
the multiplex reservation logic to prevent secondary profiles from
taking the endpoint while a primary is queued. Pre-existing latent bug
— now fixed since the extraction makes it trivial.
After a network outage the Telegram fatal handler could hang inside
disconnect() and never populate _failed_platforms, so the reconnect
watcher had nothing to retry and the process stayed permanently deaf.
Queue retryable platforms before any disconnect await, bound the fatal
handler with an outer detach deadline, and release the Telegram token
lock / PTB close steps with detach-on-timeout so recovery cannot stall.
PlatformEntry.check_fn served three contradictory roles: adapter-creation
gate, config auto-enablement gate, and status display. Plugins had to pick
one function for all three:
- Active installer as check_fn (discord/slack/telegram/matrix/dingtalk/
feishu): every status display could pip-install SDKs as a side effect
(the desktop 94% boot-loop class).
- Passive probe as check_fn (teams, wecom_callback): create_adapter()
returned None before connect() could lazy-install, so the SDK never
installed (#79812 deadlock; wecom_callback's platform.wecom_callback
LAZY_DEPS entry was dead code).
The split makes both call sites correct by construction:
- check_fn is now contractually PASSIVE (probe only, never installs).
- New optional PlatformEntry.ensure_deps_fn is the ACTIVE installer;
create_adapter() runs it exactly when check_fn is False — the platform
is enabled+configured and the gateway is about to connect it.
- Config enablement keeps a configured platform whose deps are missing
but installable; the install itself is deferred to create_adapter().
- Status surfaces (_platform_status, hermes status) read only the
passive probe and can never trigger pip.
Migrated all lazy-installable platform plugins to the split; platforms
with no optional deps (irc/ntfy/buzz/simplex/line/a2a/...) are unchanged
— no ensure_deps_fn means a False check_fn stays a hard block.
wecom_callback gains a working installer for the first time.
Builds on @xxxigm's #79812 (both commits cherry-picked with authorship
preserved), reworking the check_fn swap into the two-field split so the
Teams fix doesn't reintroduce install-on-status.
#75017: Telegram polling conflict retry used drop_pending_updates=False,
starting a new getUpdates session that immediately got 409'd by the
previous still-expiring session — creating the very conflict it was
trying to recover from. Switch to drop_pending_updates=True so Telegram
terminates stale sessions. Also add a recovery-generation guard so the
first transient getUpdates success after a retry doesn't reset the
conflict counter back to 0 (defense-in-depth from PR #75096).
#75153: The WAL-reset warning always said 'hermes update can repair'
even for git/pip/system Python installs where it can't. Now uses
detect_install_method() + recommended_update_command_for_method() to
give a context-appropriate hint (hermes update for git, docker pull for
docker, nix message for nix, generic install hint as fallback).
- discord/telegram/slack/matrix standalone senders read bot tokens via
get_secret (in-turn: they run inside an installed scope — cron scheduler
and delegate spawns propagate it), never borrowing another profile's
env-bridged token under multiplex.
- telegram webhook-secret and matrix access-token/password startup reads
use the Slack pattern (#59739): get_secret, falling back to os.environ
only on UnscopedSecretError.
Under gateway.multiplex_profiles, Discord and Telegram authorization gates
(allowed/ignored channels, allowed users/roles, allow-all flags) were read
from process-global os.environ, populated first-writer-wins by the YAML->env
bridge in each adapter's _apply_yaml_config. The first profile to initialize
pinned its allow/deny lists — and its ALLOW_ALL flags — for every other
profile in the process (issue #72348, incl. the Telegram mirror reported in
the thread).
Fix (per-adapter-instance gate reads, whole class):
- gateway/authz_mixin.py: new _platform_gate_env — scope-authoritative gate
read: under an installed profile secret scope with multiplex active, a
missing key returns the default instead of falling through to os.environ
(which may hold another profile's value). Single-profile behavior is
byte-identical to os.getenv.
- Discord adapter:
- connect() snapshots all gate env vars (_GATE_ENV_KEYS) inside the owning
profile's runtime scope into a per-adapter dict; new accessors
(_get_allowed_channels/_get_ignored_channels/_get_allowed_users/
_get_allowed_roles/_get_no_thread_channels/_discord_allow_all_users/
_gateway_allow_all_users/_get_allow_bots) resolve snapshot -> config.extra
-> scope-aware env, replacing every raw os.getenv gate read: on_message
channel gates, _is_allowed_user allow-all flags, slash authorization,
fail-closed diagnostics, missed-message backfill, bot-message gating,
and _component_check_auth (component buttons).
- _apply_yaml_config always seeds gate values into PlatformConfig.extra
(incl. new allowed_roles / allow_all_users keys) and SKIPS the
process-global env writes when loading a profile-scoped config under
multiplex; the legacy first-writer env bridge is preserved verbatim for
single-profile deployments.
- _resolve_allowed_usernames no longer unconditionally rewrites
os.environ[DISCORD_ALLOWED_USERS] — under multiplex the resolved IDs stay
adapter-local (snapshot refresh); single-profile keeps the env rewrite.
- Telegram adapter (mirror of the same class): intake prefilter and
callback-auth fallbacks, _telegram_auth_env_configured, and the
allowed/ignored chats-topics-threads getters now read via the scoped gate
reader; _apply_yaml_config skips authorization env writes for
profile-scoped loads and seeds free_response_chats/ignored_threads extras.
Regression tests (tests/plugins/platforms/test_discord_gate_isolation.py):
two adapter instances with different allow-lists enforce their OWN lists
order-independently across message, slash, and component gates; negative
allow-all case proves profile A's open-access flag cannot authorize profile
B; username-resolution env-clobber; YAML-bridge seeding/skip matrix; and the
Telegram scoped-reader matrix. Sabotage-verified: reverting either the
Discord snapshot accessors or the Telegram scoped reader fails 12/2 tests
respectively.
Credit: builds on the per-adapter accessor direction of PR #72427
(@JonthanaHanh) and the scope-aware-reader approach validated live on v0.19.0
by @yournetworkplug-ctrl for the Telegram mirror; scope corrections from
jackjin1997's and cal88's analysis in the issue thread (allow-all flags,
unguarded username-resolution env write, per-site channel reads).
Fixes#72348
The #40863 intake prefilter rejected unauthorized DMs whenever an allowlist
existed, so gateway pairing never ran even when the operator set
telegram.unauthorized_dm_behavior: pair (which must win over the #9337
allowlist silence default). Pass those DMs through; groups stay blocked.
524ab5399 widened the media read timeout from send_video to "all upload send
paths" - send_voice/send_audio/send_photo/send_document/send_media_group/
send_animation. Both send_photo calls inside send_image() were missed, so
they still ran on the short timeout the rest of the Bot API is tuned for
while the sibling media paths already pass it.
The missed pair is the worst one to miss: send_image tries a URL send first,
then falls back to downloading the image and uploading the bytes - the path
documented as "supports up to 10MB", i.e. the slowest send in the file and
the one whose server-side processing wait most often outlasts the short
budget. When it times out the handler's last resort posts the bare URL as
text, so the picture silently never arrives as a picture.
Pass _MEDIA_SEND_READ_TIMEOUT on both, covered by two behavioral tests that
drive send_image for real - the URL send and the forced byte-upload fallback
- and assert the read_timeout that actually reaches the Bot API.
send_video got the 60s read_timeout but send_voice/send_audio/send_photo/
send_document/send_media_group/send_animation upload through the same PTB
request path and hit the same server-side processing wait before the
response arrives. Same class, all sites: they all pass
_MEDIA_SEND_READ_TIMEOUT now. Also drops an unused test helper.
Telegram clients split messages above 4096 chars into multiple updates. A
long '/queue <prompt>' paste arrives as a COMMAND chunk near the limit plus
plain TEXT continuation chunk(s). _handle_command dispatched the command
chunk immediately, so the continuation landed as a separate plain message
that interrupted the running agent instead of being queued.
Near-limit (>= _SPLIT_THRESHOLD) command chunks now route through the same
text-batching pipeline used for split plain-text messages, merging the
continuation before dispatch. Short commands (/stop, /approve, ...) keep the
immediate path and are never delayed.
The compile_mention_patterns promotion moved the 'patterns is None ->
return []' short-circuit into the shared helper, which meant the
telegram/dingtalk wrappers now evaluated self.name (via log_prefix=)
even on the no-patterns path. On main that path returned before
touching any adapter attributes; tests construct bare adapters via
object.__new__ that lack .platform, so TestTelegramGuestMentionGating
failed with AttributeError. Restore the early return in both wrappers
for exact behavior parity with main.
The disease: ~15 scattered raw yaml.safe_load(config.yaml) reads that
silently miss managed-scope overlay, ${ENV_VAR} expansion, profile-aware
pathing, and root-model normalization. Every new config feature needed an
N-site sweep (incident chain 9cbcc0c9c8 → 732293cf87 → b0e47a98f9 →
1928aa0443). This commit assigns every raw read to an owner and adds a
lint-guard test so the class cannot regrow.
New primitive (additive-only change to hermes_cli/config.py):
read_user_config_raw(path=None) — reads the user file EXACTLY as
written; docstring states it is ONLY legal for write-back round-trips
and raw-file diagnostics. Behavioral reads must use
load_config()/load_config_readonly().
BEHAVIOR FIXES (class-a sites migrated to a canonical loader — these
previously read values that could DIFFER from the effective config):
gateway/run.py _try_resolve_fallback_provider → _load_gateway_runtime_config
keys: fallback_providers/fallback_model (provider, model, base_url,
api_key). Drift fixed: a managed-pinned fallback chain was ignored;
an api_key of "${OPENROUTER_API_KEY}" reached the resolver unexpanded.
gateway/run.py GatewayRunner._load_provider_routing → same loader
key: provider_routing. Drift fixed: managed-pinned routing prefs and
${VAR} templates were ignored.
gateway/run.py GatewayRunner._load_fallback_model → same loader
keys: fallback chain. Same drift as above.
gateway/run.py GatewayRunner._refresh_fallback_model
keeps the raw primitive (its last-known-good-on-parse-failure contract
forbids the fail-open loader, which returns {} on a torn write) but now
applies managed overlay + env expansion inline. Drift fixed: chain
edits under managed scope / env templates were previously frozen out.
tui_gateway/server.py _load_cfg (72 behavioral call sites)
now = raw read + managed overlay (pre-existing) + NEW ${VAR} expansion,
split from a new _load_cfg_raw() write-back primitive. Drift fixed:
e.g. custom_prompt: "hello ${VAR}", agent.system_prompt, model,
api_key/base_url templates reached sessions unexpanded. DEFAULT_CONFIG
is deliberately NOT merged (callers treat missing keys as unset;
`_load_cfg() == {}` sentinels and _save_cfg round-trips depend on it).
tui_gateway/server.py _profile_configured_cwd
keys: terminal.cwd of a NON-launch profile. Drift fixed: managed
overlay + ${VAR} expansion now apply (load_config() would resolve the
wrong profile's home, so the raw primitive + inline pipeline is used).
plugins/platforms/telegram/adapter.py _reload_dm_topics_from_config
→ load_config_readonly(). keys: platforms.telegram.extra.dm_topics.
Drift fixed: managed overlay + profile-aware pathing + expansion.
plugins/memory/holographic _load_plugin_config → load_config_readonly().
keys: plugins.hermes-memory-store.*. Same drift class.
WRITE-BACK ROUND-TRIPS (class-b: stay raw BY DESIGN via read_user_config_raw;
merging defaults/overlay would pollute the saved user file):
gateway/slash_commands.py: model persist x2, _save_gateway_config_key,
memory/skills write_approval toggles
gateway/platforms/yuanbao.py auto-sethome
tui_gateway/server.py _write_config_key + all cfg→_save_cfg blocks
(reasoning show/hide/full/clamp, details_mode[.section], prompt)
→ new _load_cfg_raw()
plugins/memory/holographic save_config
RAW-FILE DIAGNOSTICS + presence-sensitive bridges (class-c: stay raw,
now via the shared primitive with an explanatory comment):
hermes_cli/doctor.py x5 (model validation, stale-root-keys, .env drift,
deprecation sweep, memory-provider probe — the latter two keep their
inline managed overlay where they had one)
gateway/run.py _bridge_max_turns_from_config and the module-level
TERMINAL_*/HERMES_* env bridge (bridging merged defaults would export
all of DEFAULT_CONFIG into the environment; both keep their inline
overlay + expansion)
hermes_cli/send_cmd.py env bridge (same presence-sensitivity)
hermes_cli/gateway.py multiplex-conflict probe (reads the DEFAULT root's
config, not the active profile's — load_config is the wrong owner)
hermes_cli/profiles.py / hermes_cli/web_server.py / tools/wake_word.py
multi-profile reads (load_config targets only the ACTIVE profile home)
cron/jobs.py _resolve_default_model_snapshot and cron/scheduler.py
run_job config read keep their existing inline overlay+expansion but
now share the primitive (their fail-open + last-value semantics and
the deliberate no-defaults merge are preserved exactly).
Failure-semantics audit: every migrated site preserves its exact previous
behavior on missing file ({} / early return) and parse failure (raise into
the caller's existing except, warn, last-known-good, or fail-open) —
read_user_config_raw intentionally mirrors bare open()+safe_load semantics
(raises on parse errors, {} only on FileNotFoundError/non-dict root).
Guard: tests/hermes_cli/test_config_read_guard.py scans the tree for
yaml.safe_load within 6 lines of a 'config.yaml' reference outside an
explicit ALLOWLIST (hermes_cli/config.py, gateway/config.py, gateway/run.py
fallback path, hermes_cli/managed_scope.py which reads the MANAGED file,
gateway/readiness.py parse-health probe) and fails on new offenders.
E2E: tests/hermes_cli/test_config_loader_e2e.py runs a subprocess with a
temp HERMES_HOME (config.yaml containing ${E2E_PROMPT_SUFFIX}) plus a
HERMES_MANAGED_DIR overlay pinning agent.reasoning_effort, asserting
tui _load_cfg resolves "hello world"/"high" while _load_cfg_raw +
_save_cfg round-trip the template and user value verbatim with no
managed/default leakage.
Same class of bug as the LINE adapter (NS-603): defaulting the webhook
bind to "0.0.0.0" (or hardcoding it) binds IPv4 ONLY, so the listener
is unreachable over IPv6-only private networks such as Fly.io 6PN.
- wecom callback_adapter: DEFAULT_HOST None; config.py env seed no
longer forces 0.0.0.0 when WECOM_CALLBACK_HOST is unset.
- msgraph_webhook: DEFAULT_HOST None; the allowed_source_cidrs
requirement still fires for the all-interfaces default (host=None is
treated as network-accessible).
- whatsapp_cloud: DEFAULT_WEBHOOK_HOST None.
- teams: hardcoded 0.0.0.0 TCPSite bind → _DEFAULT_HOST=None with new
TEAMS_HOST / extra.host override (mirrors LINE_HOST pattern).
- telegram: hardcoded listen="0.0.0.0" → default "" (tornado
bind_sockets opens one socket per address family; verified against
PTB 22.6/tornado) with new TELEGRAM_WEBHOOK_HOST / extra.webhook_host
override.
Explicit host overrides everywhere are preserved; empty/unset collapses
to the dual-stack default. "::" remains a bad substitute on
bindv6only=1 hosts (see LINE adapter comment).
