The eager session.resume path called _transfer_db_to_agent(agent, db)
unconditionally. With no non-launch profile selected, db resolves to the
SHARED launch handle (_get_db()), so the transfer succeeded on identity
alone — the agent IS holding that handle — and session.close() then
closed the process-wide database under every unrelated session:
subsequent writes failed with "'NoneType' object has no attribute
'execute'" and the Desktop could not open chats until restart (#91610).
This directly violated _transfer_db_to_agent's own contract ("Never
called for the shared launch handle", introduced with the ownership
lifecycle in #81071).
Gate the transfer on owns_db (dedicated handles only), and add defense
in depth: _transfer_db_to_agent now refuses db is _get_db() even when a
caller invokes it incorrectly.
A bot's forever-chat now has exactly one identity: the session titled
"Bot Chat" on that bot's profile. Core UNIQUE(title) makes (profile,
'Bot Chat') an exact registry, and every open consults it directly via
session.list {title, include_hidden}. The stored-id pin
(ui_meta['hermes-bots'].chat) and its entire verification apparatus —
preferred_session_ids resolution, drifted-pin keep branches, last_session
grandfathering, dead-pin recovery re-anchoring, newerVisibleBotChat — are
removed, not deprecated. Legacy ui_meta.chat keys are ignored and dropped
from merges on sight.
Every lost-canonical-chat incident (#88146, #88200, #90524, #90705, and
five hardening waves) traced to that pointer dangling or being stolen,
then later guards welding the wrong session in. A name cannot dangle:
corrupt pins self-heal on first click because the pointer is simply never
read.
Gateway: profiles.list now reports canonical_session per profile row
(registry row resolved server-side by title — hidden rows resolve,
deny-listed sources and archived rows do not, compression lineages
resolve to the live tip), replacing the preferred_session_ids request
contract. The roster preview, activity signals, and the /new→/compact
guard all read canonical_session, so preview identity and click identity
are the same row by construction.
No migration shims: this IS the system.
Addresses @helix4u's review on #92020:
- Consent notice now matches the real --nous contract: full logs up to
512KB each, likely conversation content/tool outputs/file paths, viewable
by Nous staff AND allowlisted Discord moderators (all 5 locales).
- Client-supplied text (error_context + extra_files) rides _redact_log_text
— the same upload-safe redactor as backend logs (secrets + email masking),
not the weaker bare secret pass; regression test covers both.
- ok:true without view_url or id becomes a structured failure; a returned
id without a link renders an upload-ID fallback the user can quote.
- Generation guard in the store: dismissal is immediate in every phase
(incl. mid-upload); a stale completion can no longer resurrect or
overwrite the dialog. Cancel button never disabled.
Turn errors now carry a structured {layer, code, retryable} descriptor
(agent/error_surface.py) built from the same classifier the retry loop
uses. The tui_gateway stamps it on terminal error frames, retained
failed-turn snapshots, and resume replay; the Desktop error card renders
the layer title (provider / endpoint / streaming / auth / billing /
gateway / runtime / disk) plus matched actions: Retry, Switch provider,
Open logs, Copy diagnostics.
Older backends that omit the descriptor keep today's behavior (generic
title, string-sniff fallbacks) — the field is advisory on both sides.
deliver='bot-chat[:<profile>]' is a machine-local pseudo-platform: the
scheduler delivers job output as a real inbound turn in the target
profile's canonical Bot Chat via the chat CLI lane (--in ~ -c "Bot Chat"
--create-if-missing -Q --query-file), the same lane Bot Mode
agent-to-agent messages use. The bot reads the output, acts on it, and
responds in its chat — instead of the output only landing in Run history.
- cron/scheduler.py: token parsing, target resolution (own profile /
named local profile / unknown -> skipped with warning), subprocess
delivery lane with cron.bot_chat_delivery_timeout_seconds (default
600s), preflight exemption, and bot-chat entries in
cron_delivery_targets() for UI pickers. Excluded from 'all' by design.
- tools/cronjob_tools.py: create/update-time validation — named profiles
must exist on this machine (fail at create, not at 3am); deliver schema
documents the new token.
- tui_gateway/methods_tools.py: cron.manage add forwards deliver.
- hermes_cli/profiles.py: list_profile_names() cheap name-only scan.
- hermes-bots plugin: Create Cronjob dialog gains a 'Send results to'
picker (Run history only / <bot>'s chat); bot-chat jobs send the BARE
token on the profile-scoped create so Desktop-side aliases can never
name a profile the backend doesn't have.
- Docs: user cron guide, automate-with-cron, cron-internals.
Machine-local by construction: names resolve only against the executing
machine's ~/.hermes/profiles/, so overlapping profile names across
multiple connected gateways are unambiguous.
- Rename the broker's TicketInvalid to ControllerTicketInvalid: the same
exception name already exists in hermes_cli/dashboard_auth/ws_tickets.py
and BOTH are caught in the same WS auth flow this feature touches — two
unrelated same-named exception types in one blast radius invited a wrong
except clause.
- Import the 'server-internal' sentinel identity from its canonical
definition (ws_tickets.INTERNAL_USER_ID/INTERNAL_PROVIDER) instead of
re-declaring the strings; drift would have silently broken the
internal-peer exclusion in _is_authenticated_identity.
Surfaced during review of PR #85351.
attach/disconnect/detach acquire a per-controller threading.Lock that a
worker-thread dispatch can hold for up to 10s while blocking on the event
loop to transmit its command frame (run_coroutine_threadsafe +
result(timeout=10)). Acquiring that lock synchronously from loop context
(controller WS finally, frame handler, gateway WS teardown) could park the
ENTIRE gateway event loop behind the send bridge — a deterministic
multi-second global stall whenever controller teardown raced an in-flight
command. All loop-context broker calls now go through asyncio.to_thread,
matching the existing offload pattern for _close_sessions_for_transport.
Surfaced during review of PR #85351.
Treat unexpected controller transport loss as recoverable until each command's original deadline. Same-identity reconnects refresh transport and capability state, flush deferred cancels before new dispatch, and can complete already-started work.
Keep explicit detach and different controller/browser identity replacement terminal, owner-gate every inbound lifecycle frame, distinguish slow in-flight WebSocket writes from real send failures, and exclude browser-control session identity from shared shell snapshots.
Keep extension control opt-in and preserve existing browser backends unless an exact server-bound controller is available. Centralize protocol and capability admission across API and dashboard transports, make selected-controller results authoritative, bypass stale availability caches only inside bound requests, and serialize structured results for the existing tool contract.
Add a real browser_snapshot route-table/WebSocket E2E, strict admission and ownership regressions, public configuration and protocol documentation, and tests proving feature-off/no-controller compatibility.
* fix(gateway): persist prompt.submit truncation to the session's own profile DB
`_get_db()` returns the LAUNCH profile's SessionDB handle. App-global
remote mode gives a session its own profile (`session["profile_home"]`)
whose transcript lives in that profile's `state.db`, so a write keyed on
`session_key` that goes through `_get_db()` addresses the wrong database.
In the `prompt.submit` truncate branch that has two consequences. The
edit/resend never sticks — `session.resume` reopens the profile db and
resurrects the undone turns — and when the launch profile happens to hold
a row under the same session id, the truncated transcript is inserted
into a profile the session does not belong to.
It also silently voids the branch's own fail-closed contract. The handler
persists before it rewrites `session["history"]` precisely so that a
failed write refuses the turn and leaves memory and DB aligned; that only
holds if the handle it checks is the one that owns the row.
`_session_db(session)` is the profile-aware resolver that already exists
for this: the profile's `state.db` when `profile_home` is set, otherwise
the shared launch handle. Non-profile sessions are unaffected —
`_session_db` borrows the same shared handle and leaves it open.
`active_only=True` and `archive_dropped=True` are carried through
unchanged; only the handle the call is made against changes.
* fix(gateway): resolve the /undo command against the session's own profile DB
`command.dispatch`'s `/undo` branch opened the launch profile's handle via
`_get_db()`, but every read and write under it is scoped by session id:
`list_recent_user_messages`, `rewind_to_message` and the
`get_messages_as_conversation` reload all key on `session_key`.
For a session with its own profile (`session["profile_home"]`) the rows
live in that profile's `state.db`, so against the launch handle
`list_recent_user_messages` returns nothing and the command fails closed
with `4018 "no user messages to undo"` — for the entire session, on every
invocation, even though the transcript is right there in the profile db.
Route the whole branch through `_session_db(session)`, which yields the db
that owns the session's row and closes a profile handle on exit. Sessions
without a profile keep borrowing the shared launch handle exactly as
before, so this is behaviourally identical for them.
* fix(gateway): read /history and /context from the session's own profile DB
`_format_live_history_output` and `_format_live_context_output` rebuild the
transcript from the database rather than from `session["history"]`, because
the in-memory list is empty for a session this process did not run itself.
Both reads are scoped by session id but were issued against `_get_db()`,
the launch profile's handle.
A session with its own profile (`session["profile_home"]`) keeps its rows
in that profile's `state.db`, so both reads come back empty and the
commands under-report: `/history` renders "No conversation history yet."
and `/context` falls back to the empty in-memory list and reports a
conversation of zero messages. Both swallow their exceptions, so there is
no error either — just a wrong answer about the user's own transcript.
Resolve both through `_session_db(session)`, the profile-aware resolver
used by the rest of the session-scoped paths.
* test(gateway): cover session-scoped transcript ops against a profile DB
Regression coverage for the three session-scoped sites that resolved
against the launch profile's handle instead of the db owning the
session's row. Each test drives the real JSON-RPC entry point with a
session carrying `profile_home`, seeds the transcript into the profile's
own `state.db`, and asserts against both databases.
Per site, with the production change reverted to its pre-fix form:
- `prompt.submit` truncation — `test_truncation_persists_to_the_profile_db`
and `test_truncation_does_not_copy_rows_into_the_launch_profile` fail.
The second seeds a row under the same session id in the launch db so the
foreign write succeeds instead of failing a key check, which is the case
that copies a transcript into a profile it does not belong to.
- `/undo` — `test_undo_rewinds_the_profile_transcript` fails with
`4018 "no user messages to undo"`.
- `/history` and `/context` — `test_history_reads_the_profile_transcript`
and `test_context_reads_the_profile_transcript` fail, reporting an empty
conversation.
`test_undo_still_uses_the_shared_handle_without_a_profile` and
`test_truncation_without_a_profile_uses_the_shared_handle` pin the
unchanged path: with no `profile_home` the resolver must borrow the shared
launch handle and leave it open. Both stay green in every direction, so a
future change cannot satisfy the profile cases by abandoning the shared
one.
* fix(desktop): aim truncations by durable id alone on tail-only transcripts
The cold-open transcript is a newest-first prefetch page
(LATEST_SESSION_MESSAGES_LIMIT = 120) with the resume RPC sent
omit_messages — older rows only arrive via "Show earlier" backfill.
planEdit/planReload/planRestore still counted truncate ordinals over
that windowed list, so every edit/reload/restore in a session longer
than the prefetch page sent a window-relative ordinal alongside the
durable row/message id. The gateway's #82959 cross-check resolved the
durable id to its full-history ordinal, read the offset as drift, and
refused with 4030 — making the Edit affordance permanently dead in
long sessions.
When the transcript may be tail-only (the transcript-tail
bookkeeping's possiblyTruncated), drop the client ordinal and address
the truncation by durable id alone — the same rule runRewindSubmit
already applies to content-resolved row ids (#87059). The ordinal
tripwire stays on whenever the transcript is complete.
Closes#88082
* fix(desktop): drop client rewind ordinal whenever a durable id is present
#88092 gated the drop on tail-only prefetch. After in-place compact the
live scrollback is treated as complete, so Restore still sent a
display-lineage ordinal next to a resolved row id and the gateway
refused with 4030 (#89244). prefix_user_count is structurally 0 on
in-place because get_ancestor_display_prefix is cross-session.
Same choke point: if a durable truncate_before_row_id or a real
truncate_before_message_id is present, omit the client ordinal.
confirm_empty_truncate is still carried from a caller ordinal of 0.
Unknown ids still fail closed at 4018.
Closes#89244

Addresses teknium1 sweeper review on PR #67696:
1. Gateway bridge: Skip str(None) bridging when YAML value is Python None
(from or bare ). Previously str(None) → None → unlimited
instead of default 90. Now clears stale env var so resolver applies default.
2. TUI: Route _cfg_max_turns through resolve_turn_limit instead of bare
int(). Old code crashed on none/unlimited and swallowed 0 via
. HERMES_TUI_MAX_TURNS env var also routed through
resolver.
3. Docs: Document unlimited spellings (none/unlimited/infinite/0/-1) in
configuration.md.
4. Tests: Add TestGatewayBridgeNullHandling (4 tests) and TestTUIResolver
(8 tests) covering null handling, string spellings, env var override,
and legacy root-level config.
All 50 tests pass.
The #90732 adoption scan used session.list's 200-row recency window. A busy
bot profile (group-chat traffic, routines, or accumulated fork spam) pushes
an older forever-chat past row 200, the scan misses it, and the mint path
re-enters the unique-title-conflict fork loop — same pathology, higher
trigger threshold.
Profile → Named Session is an exact registry (UNIQUE title index), so
consult it exactly:
- session.list gains a `title` param: indexed WHERE title = ? lookup,
window-free, hidden rows resolve, archived/deny-listed do not,
compression lineages resolve to the live tip (resolved_id), mirroring
profiles.list's preferred_session resolver.
- findExistingCanonicalChat sends title: 'Bot Chat'. Older gateways ignore
the unknown param and return the windowed listing — the local scan stays
as the compatibility rung.
- Adoption opens the lineage tip (resolved_id) while pinning the durable id,
same split as the preferred_session path.
The in-app browser was a one-way mirror. open_preview put a page in the pane
and read_preview read its text back, but nothing could touch it. A click meant
falling back to the browser_* tools, which drive a separate Chromium the user
cannot see — so "log into this and pull my invoices" happened in a different
browser from the one on screen, with none of the sessions the user is already
signed into.
Four pieces, and they only make sense together:
· an in-page engine that inventories what is interactable and performs the
verb, injected as source because it has to run inside the guest page;
· the preview.act.request bridge from the gateway into the pane;
· drive_preview, for acting: elements, click, type, scroll, press, and the
pane's own back/forward/reload;
· annotate_preview, for marking without acting.
Those last two started as one tool doing two unrelated jobs. Leaving a mark is
not an action — it outlives the turn that drew it — so it gets its own verb,
and the interaction verb gets a name that says what it does.
Gating is the existing surface rule: desktop_ui folds in on session
source: 'desktop', and the bridge refuses to act for a background session, so a
turn running behind the user's back cannot reach into the page they are working
in.
Two details worth a reviewer's attention. Typing assigns through the
prototype's value setter, because React shadows value with its own accessor and
ignores an input event whose value it believes it already wrote — a plain
el.value = … types into a field that snaps back on the next render. And
clicking replays the pointer/mouse pair before activation, because frameworks
bind to mousedown as often as to click.
A remote desktop cannot crawl the host disk, and projects.* always read the
launch profile's stores, so switching profiles left the wrong tree on screen.
Bind the requested profile's HERMES_HOME and session db for the whole family,
and add scan:true so repos with no Hermes sessions still appear.

Worker sessions are deny-listed out of every conversation list, so a
profile grinding through a 30-minute kanban task read idle ('3 hr ago')
with no ACTIVE NOW entry the entire run.
- tui_gateway/methods_profiles.py: profiles.list rows gain worker_session
— the newest kanban/tool row (id, source, title, last_active). Workers
heartbeat last_activity_at every <=60s while running (#72016), so the
field stays fresh exactly while work is happening. last_session keeps
its deny-list contract; include_sessions:false omits the field; older
clients ignore it.
- hermes-bots plugin: workerActiveAt() (150s window, one missed heartbeat
of slack) feeds ACTIVE NOW, the row pulse dot ('Working on a task right
now'), and the row age label while a worker runs. Chat semantics are
untouched when no worker is live.
- Tests: 4 new pytest (real SessionDB on temp HERMES_HOME), 2 new node
behavior tests; sabotage-verified.
Session-list visibility of workers (the issue's first half) is left as-is
by design — auto-resume and shared lists must keep excluding workers; the
roster signal was the actionable gap.
open_preview and read_preview could drive the page, but nothing could close
the pane. Same desktop_ui / session-source gate as the rest of the GUI tools.
The renderer's `tour.request` handler ships in the desktop bundle, but the
tool is offered by the backend, and the two update on different clocks. A
desktop build older than the tour tool receives the event in a renderer with
no branch for it, so `tour.respond` never comes and the agent blocks for the
full 45s deadline — once per action the model tries. A single "give me a
tour" turn (targets, then narrate, then stop) stacked those waits into
minutes of dead air, which is what got reported against #89620.
Hold a session's first action to a deadline a working renderer cannot miss,
and let an unanswered probe mark the bridge unavailable for that session:
later calls return immediately with an error naming the actual fix instead
of stalling again. Once a client has answered, real actions get the full
deadline back, so a preview tour injecting into a live page still works and
one slow action no longer condemns a live client. The verdict lives on the
session record, so it dies with the session and a new one re-probes.
The same five-action sequence goes from ~225s of dead air to a single 10s
probe. Toolset gating is unchanged: removing the tool outright needs a
client capability declared at session.create, which prompt caching means
can only take effect for a new session.
One generic tool in the desktop_ui toolset: discover what is on screen,
highlight an element with narration, or hand the user a paged tour. No tour
content lives in the code — the agent authors each one live, which is what
makes 'how does this work?' answerable as a walkthrough instead of a wall
of text.
Rides the existing blocking-prompt bridge (tour.request/.respond) like
read_preview, so it works on every connection topology.
After a standing goal auto-paused on turn-budget exhaustion, every
surface's /goal resume handler only flipped the persisted state back to
active (and reset turns_used) and rendered an acknowledgement — nothing
re-entered the conversation loop, so the goal sat idle until the user
sent another ordinary message.
Fix the whole class by scheduling the canonical
GoalManager.next_continuation_prompt() through each surface's existing
input path after a successful resume:
- Desktop/TUI (tui_gateway/methods_tools.py command.dispatch): return a
sendable {type: "send"} dispatch with the continuation as the message,
a "Continuing now" notice, and display "/goal resume" so the
transcript shows the concise invocation instead of the model-facing
scaffolding. No-goal keeps the exec response.
- Classic CLI (hermes_cli/cli_commands_mixin.py): put the continuation
on _pending_input, same as the /goal <text> kickoff.
- Messaging gateway (gateway/slash_commands.py): enqueue a continuation
MessageEvent through the adapter FIFO — the same path the post-turn
judge uses — so queued real user messages preempt naturally and the
pause/clear stale-continuation cleanup recognizes it.
Also correct the now-misleading gateway.goal.resumed copy ("Send any
message to continue…") across all 17 locale files.
Regression tests cover exact budget exhaustion → resume on the real CLI
handler, the real gateway handler (including the
_is_goal_continuation_event guard contract), and the TUI
command.dispatch boundary; verified each fails on the pre-fix code.
Fixes#75362
One clarify.request carries the question list (qid, question, choices,
multi_select per entry). clarify.respond gains an optional question_id:
each respond locks one answer, a repeat respond overwrites it, and the
batch resolves when every question is locked. A respond without
question_id keeps its existing meaning (cancel the whole prompt).
Locked answers survive the deadline: a timed-out batch returns the
partial answer map with a timed_out flag instead of an empty string.
The reconnect replay snapshot also carries the locked answers, so a
reattached client restores its per-question state.
Both agent-side clarify dispatch sites forward the questions arg.
Adds a reviewable in-app install path for Hermes plugins:
hermes://plugin/install?repo=owner/repo (and Settings -> Plugins ->
Install from Git) opens a confirmation modal showing the repo identity
and source links, shallow-clones to probe for agent and/or desktop
plugin artifacts, lets the user pick components, then installs — agent
side through the gateway's new plugins.manage `install` action (wrapping
the existing dashboard_install_plugin), desktop side through a new
Electron git-install module with subdir-escape guards, a 60s clone
timeout, non-interactive git env, and insecure-scheme warnings. Never
auto-installs; hybrid repos get one dialog. Legacy plugin-agent /
plugin-desktop deeplinks route into the same modal.
Salvaged from PR #82735 by @serefyarar (net diff applied onto current
main as a single authored commit; the branch carried merge commits).
The preview screenshot PNG from the original branch was intentionally
not carried over — images live in PR bodies, not the repo.
`hermes profile rename default <name>` (and the Desktop/dashboard rename
flows) now set a presentation-only `display_name` in profile.yaml instead
of erroring. The canonical id stays "default"; resolution, comparison,
and spawn paths are untouched. Named profiles keep real renames and their
display_name survives the move.
Surfaces: profile list/show/status, /profile (text only — data.profile
stays canonical), dashboard ProfilesPage, TUI-gateway profiles.list, and
Desktop (rail, switcher, Manage page, and the Bot Mode roster via a
displayName fallback so a renamed default shows its name, not "default").
Slimmer redo of the direction in PR #87760 by @yxssxn — thanks; see PR
body for what changed vs that approach.
- Remove the bundled Example Plugin from the desktop renderer plugins
(apps/desktop/src/plugins/example/). Reference/demo plugins live in the
companion hermes-example-plugins repo (already pointed to by
src/plugins/README.md); shipping the counter demo in everyone's Settings
doubled UI noise for no user value.
- Agent plugins section now hides ALL repo-bundled built-ins
(source === 'bundled': browser/browserbase, cron_providers/chronos,
model-providers/deepinfra, platform adapters, image/video backends, …).
The section is the control panel for plugins the user installed
(user/git/project/pip/portable); built-ins ship enabled-by-default and
are configured from their own surfaces. The HIDDEN_KEY_PREFIXES list
stays as a fallback for older backends. Count pill reflects the
filtered list.
- Add an "Applies to" profile scope selector to the Agent plugins section
(same pattern as the Capabilities scope selector): list/toggle any
profile's plugins without switching the whole app. Backend:
plugins.manage now accepts an optional `profile` param via the same
set_hermes_home_override contract as cron.manage / mcp.servers.*;
unscoped calls are unchanged, so older backends keep working.
- i18n: new settings.plugins.agent.appliesTo key (types + en + zh; other
locales fall back through defineLocale).
- Tests: plugins-settings.test.tsx covers bundled hiding, prefix fallback,
count pill, selector visibility, scoped list/toggle payloads; new
tests/test_plugins_manage_profile_scope.py mirrors the cron.manage
profile-scope tests (scoped read, unknown-profile 4064, no override
leak, unscoped contract unchanged).
Bot Mode's group chats spawned one per-member session per room, and those
"Group: ..." rows (plus canonical Bot Chats when the old eye-toggle pref was
off) flooded the global Sessions sidebar — a 6-bot room dumped six identical
rows into recents (reported with screenshot, Aug 17).
Plugin (apps/desktop/src/plugins/hermes-bots/plugin.js):
- session.create now passes hidden:true UNCONDITIONALLY for both canonical
Bot Chats and group-room member sessions; the $hideBotChats pref, its eye
toggle, and its storage hydrate are removed (Bot Mode sessions are plumbing
or plugin-owned forever-chats, never scratch conversations).
- hideOwnedBotSessions(): idempotent reconciliation sweep over every owned
session id (bot meta canonical chats + each room's member sessions) via
session.set_hidden, run on plugin load and on each gateway reconnect, so
rows born visible under the old pref get cleaned up.
- The Bots session browser and canonical-chat recovery scan pass
include_hidden:true so they still see the rows they own.
Gateway (tui_gateway/methods_session.py):
- session.list honors an include_hidden param (default off — the resume
picker and all global callers keep dropping hidden rows).
- session.set_hidden gains a durable fallback: when no LIVE runtime session
matches, resolve the stored session id in the target profile's state.db
(via resolve_session_id) and flip the flag there. The sweep holds stored
ids for chats that aren't live; the old live-only lookup 4001'd them.
Validated E2E with real imports against a temp HERMES_HOME: born-hidden row
(hidden=1), profile-scoped session.list default vs include_hidden (0 vs 1),
and stored-id sweep on a non-live legacy row (hidden=1). Plugin suite
167/167; new RPC regression tests in tests/tui_gateway/test_session_hidden_rpc.py.
The BOTS sidebar previewed each profile's most recently active session
(last_session) but clicking the row opened the pinned canonical chat —
two different session identities, so the preview described one
conversation and the click landed in another.
- profiles.list gains an optional preferred_session_ids param
({profile: session_id}): an exact, existence-checked per-profile
lookup that resolves hidden rows and compression lineages to the
live tip (the same resolver session.resume uses) and returns a
preferred_session summary alongside the unchanged last_session.
- The hermes-bots plugin sends its canonical-chat pins with each
roster poll and previews preferred_session ?? last_session.
- openBotCanonicalChat verifies pins through the precise resolver
instead of a paginated, hidden-excluding session.list window that
misjudged real hidden pins as gone; transient lookup failures no
longer clear the pin or mint a replacement chat.
- Grandfathering: a bot with history but no pin adopts the previewed
session on first open instead of minting a new empty chat — the
behavior the design comment already promised.
Closes#88200
An inline ::preview widget could render and be clicked, but the click went
nowhere: the sandbox has no channel to the agent, so an interactive chart
was a dead end. Now the frame injects a second script beside the measurer
that gives the page one voice:
window.hermes.send('get-price eth')
<button data-hermes-send="get-price eth">ETH</button> (zero-script form)
The prompt rides postMessage up tagged with the mount token, then goes
through the composer's own send path (requestComposerSubmit -> prompt.submit)
flagged display_kind=hidden — the same row-typing auto-continue and internal
notifications already use. The agent wakes and takes a real turn; the
durable row persists (context, resume, DB audit); but NO bubble renders,
live or on reload. The user clicks ETH and the chart just changes — the
off-screen loop is click -> hidden turn -> agent rewrites the widget file ->
frame hot-swaps.
Trust boundary matches size reports and is tighter where it matters: mount
token required (frames can't forge each other's intents), string-only,
trimmed, capped at 500 chars, throttled to one intent per second per frame.
The gateway whitelists display_kind to "hidden" — the RPC can't mint
arbitrary row types — and the flag threads through both turn paths (inline
and compute-host isolation) so isolated sessions don't resurrect bubbles on
resume.
The desktop platform hint teaches the model to wire interactive widgets
with data-hermes-send and to answer clicks by updating the widget's file
rather than with prose; the SDK doc documents the contract.
Wire the continuity flag through every cron-creation surface, not just the
model tool:
- dashboard (web/): checkbox in the cron job editor; form state round-trips
the stored reserved 'self' entry into the toggle and strips it from the
context_from textarea; web_server dashboard validator skips 'self'
(create precedes the job's existence)
- Bot Mode Routines tab (hermes-bots plugin): Continuity checkbox in the
New Cronjob dialog, forwarded through cron.manage
- tui_gateway cron.manage RPC: optional continuity param on action=add
vitest cron-job suite 10/10 (4 new), tsc app project clean, py_compile clean.
Independent review of the prior commit found the cache-invalidation key
alone doesn't fix the reported #88023 dead path: slash.exec runs as a
_LONG_HANDLER on the pool with a copied context, and no binding of
_HERMES_HOME_OVERRIDE happens between the transport read and the handler
body, so get_skill_commands() there always fell back to the process-level
HERMES_HOME regardless of which profile's session issued the request.
Bind the session's own profile_home around the get_skill_commands() check,
mirroring the same bind/reset-in-finally pattern already used at every
other per-turn HERMES_HOME scoping site (e.g. server.py's prompt-turn and
system-prompt-rebuild paths). This makes the #88023 dead path actually
reachable by the fix instead of only exercising the cache primitive in
isolation.
Bot Chats break the "new sessions come often" assumption behind
build-once system prompts: capability edits used to sit invisible until
/new or compression, and the frozen birth date became misinformation.
- tools/bot_mode_probe.py: capability_fingerprint() hashes the profile's
capability surface (disabled skills, toolset pins, MCP config, SOUL.md,
installed skills, Bot-Mode roster); Bot Chat prompts embed the 12-hex
epoch stamp
- agent/conversation_loop.py restore path: stored Bot Chat prompt whose
epoch mismatches disk → ONE rebuild (through a cleared skills-prompt
cache so new installs appear), persisted so the next turn reuses the
new bytes verbatim. Prompts without a stamp — every non-Bot-Chat
session — never take the branch; probe failure fails closed to reuse
- agent/system_prompt.py: Bot Chat prompts are timeless — the
"Conversation started:" date is dropped (timezone kept); no ticking
fields in an eternal session
- tui_gateway: _sync_bot_capabilities at turn start rebuilds the live
agent (tool definitions are construction-baked) when the fingerprint
moves, same session id/history, with a user-visible notice
Cache stance: this is the /model exception applied to capabilities — a
loud, user-initiated, once-per-change prefix break. Unchanged state
hashes identically and stored bytes are reused verbatim (E2E-proven).
Validation: 9 probe unit tests incl. per-axis fingerprint changes;
E2E v3 against the real restore path (fresh build → verbatim reuse →
skill install → single refresh w/ new skill in index → verbatim reuse;
regular sessions dated, unstamped, never refreshed); tests/agent/
4647/4647.
Live desktop E2E caught a write-ordering bug the automated E2E missed:
tui_gateway applies pending_title to state.db AFTER the first turn, but
the system prompt builds at turn START — the DB-title gate saw nothing
and the Bot Chat was cached protocol-less forever. The gateway now
hands the agent its intended title at construction and the gate checks
the hint first, DB second (CLI/messaging-gateway paths unchanged).
Live-verified on the running desktop: fresh bot's Bot Chat persisted
with the protocol section, handle, and roster in its system prompt;
regular sessions and SOUL.md untouched.
Replaces the plugin-side SOUL.md protocol append: on Bot-Mode-managed
installs (any profile carrying ui_meta['hermes-bots']) the prompt builder
injects the "Messaging other agents" section into every session of every
profile — including headless `hermes -p <bot> chat` sessions a teammate
starts — so bot handoffs work without mutating user-authored SOUL files.
- tools/bot_mode_probe.py: silent-when-unmanaged probe, cached per
(process, home), keyed off the agent's OWN home (not ambient
HERMES_HOME); silent when SOUL.md already carries the legacy section
- agent/system_prompt.py + agent_init.py + config_defaults.py: wired as
agent.bot_mode_protocol (default True), stable tier, byte-stable
across rebuilds (E2E-verified against the real build_system_prompt)
- tui_gateway profiles.list gains bot_mode_protocol capability flag;
the bundled plugin gates ALL SOUL protocol writes on it (backfill,
composeSoul, Edit save) — older gateways keep the SOUL-append path
- overhead: ~916 bytes, only on Bot-Mode installs; zero elsewhere
Supersedes the SOUL backfill half of Hermes-Bot-Mode#99 (credit
@kaduxo — the handle fix, `hermes profile list` correction, and
idempotent-append guards from that PR ship in the bundled plugin).
Desktop/TUI count full displayed lineage after compression, but
prompt.submit validated truncate ordinals against tip-only history.

session.workspace.move refused a running live session with 4009
(session busy), but the desktop's Move-to-project flow calls exactly
this RPC — so the UI updated its local grouping while state.db kept the
old cwd and the agent's tools kept running in the old workspace. Two
sources of truth disagreed (#86626).
An explicit move now wins: the stored row and the live session re-anchor
together. In-flight tool calls keep the cwd they were launched with; the
next tool call uses the new workspace.
Follow-up to the #62799 salvage: Desktop sends both defer_history and
omit_messages on a cold resume. Make explicit in the deferred branch that
defer_history supersedes omit_messages — the single history read happens in
the background hydration worker and the synchronous omit_messages read on
the cold-resume default path is skipped entirely, so the transcript is
never loaded twice for one resume.
The Desktop's content-based truncation-target resolution (and reactions)
address persisted turns by row_id, but session.history loaded the
transcript without include_row_ids=True, so _history_to_messages had no
stamp to forward and the projection silently stripped the one durable
address clients can use. Discovered live-testing the #87294 client flow:
resolveDurableRowId saw 0 stamped rows and degraded every edit to a
plain resubmit.
