The static py-modules list in pyproject.toml drifted from the source
tree each time the root layout changed. An installed wheel then
raised ModuleNotFoundError on import: hermes_state_common, and every
gateway or CLI start failed. The list missed hermes_state_holders,
mini_swe_runner, and the 15 new hermes_state_* modules from this
branch.
setup.py now derives py_modules from the source tree at build time.
setuptools package discovery sees only directories with an
__init__.py, so root single-file modules need py_modules in every
wheel build. setup() kwargs merge with pyproject.toml, and setup.py
is the only legitimate wheel or sdist builder, so the derived list is
the single source of truth.
The nix build is the only wheel consumer. Its source filter keeps
every root .py file, so the build sandbox derives the same set as the
checkout. Editable installs do not read py_modules: build_editable
never runs bdist_wheel.
Verified: wheel and sdist built with HERMES_NIX_BUILD=1 carry all 38
root modules. The guard still blocks builds without the nix env var.
The sealed uv2nix venv from nix build .#default imports
hermes_state_holders, hermes_state_sessions, mini_swe_runner, and
hermes_startup_watchdog.
(cherry picked from commit e23d467b523d50ad088b89b578017996709589cf)
Invariant test updated to pin the derived list (no static py-modules; every root module packaged code imports ships).
The hermes_state split added 15 root-level sibling modules but
[tool.setuptools] py-modules still listed only the old set, so the built
wheel/sdist (and the uv2nix sealed venv) failed at 'import hermes_state'
with ModuleNotFoundError. hermes_state_holders and hermes_state_registry
were already missing on main (registry is imported by gateway/run.py and
hermes_state.py).
Add an invariant test that parses pyproject and walks every import in the
packaged root modules and packages, requiring any import that resolves to
a root-level *.py to be declared - so the class of bug is caught by CI
rather than by a broken install.
Run models locally as a first-class provider. The CLI grows a managed
llama.cpp runtime (engine install, model download, server supervision);
the desktop app grows the full setup and management story on top of it.
GUI surfaces ship behind the desktop --local launch flag (hermes desktop
--local, or the flag on the packaged app); backend routes and the CLI
are always live.
Runtime (hermes_cli/local_runtime/):
- curated GGUF catalog with per-machine variant selection: hardware
probe (VRAM/RAM/UMA), fit planning with spill accounting, quant choice
by context window
- derived recommendation: quality-ranked picks gated by a predicted
decode-speed floor, bandwidth-aware on unified memory; the decision
table is pinned as a test (pick AND reason per memory class), and the
Recommended badge explains its pick in a tooltip fed by the resolver's
actual branch
- engine install + model download with resumable split parts, cumulative
plan-level progress, and staged-model integrity (a split GGUF counts
only when every part is present)
- server supervision: spawn/adopt/stop, router mode with per-model load
progress relayed over SSE, abandoned-request cleanup
Desktop:
- Settings -> Providers -> Local models: one-click quickstart (install
engine, download the recommended model, boot) plus per-model download/
activate/eject, fit-ranked catalog with context pills
- model pickers (composer dropdown + Cmd+K) show staged local models,
in-flight downloads as live progress rows, and load-into-memory bars
- local-setup campaign tip for eligible hardware; System resources
statusbar widget (GPU/VRAM/RAM); in-chat load progress during sends
- friendly dead-server errors, and failed agent builds retry on the next
send instead of wedging the session
Co-developed with NVIDIA field feedback on RTX 5090 and DGX Spark.
Independent review of the initial startup-liveness watchdog surfaced two
P1s and three P2s. All are addressed here.
P1 — legitimate slow startups (large state.db schema migrations inside
SessionDB.__init__, which run synchronously before the loop starts) could
exceed the fixed 300s deadline and restart-loop. The watchdog now checks
process CPU time (time.process_time(), process-wide) when the deadline
expires: continuous CPU consumption means a live migration, so the deadline
is extended (with a warning log per extension). The OOF-298 deadlock class
parks every thread in futex waits and accrues ~zero CPU, so it still fires
on schedule. Documented limitation: a spinning busy-wait deadlock reads as
progress and won't fire — the observed incident class is parked threads.
P1 — import-time deadlocks were outside coverage. The implementation moved
to a stdlib-only top-level module (hermes_startup_watchdog), and
hermes_cli/main.py arms it via an argv fast-path ("gateway" + "run" in
argv) BEFORE the heavy module-level import graph. gateway/startup_watchdog
remains as a re-export shim so the intuitive import path keeps working for
the disarm site, tests, and REPL use. Import-lightness is a correctness
property, tested via AST inspection: at fire time the wedged main thread
may hold the import lock, so the fire path performs no imports on its own
thread — the lifecycle-ledger write runs on a bounded-join helper thread
and os._exit happens regardless.
P2 — disarm/fire race: the handle now has an explicit state machine
(armed → disarmed | firing) guarded by a lock; whichever transition takes
the lock first wins, so a disarm landing after deadline expiry but before
the fire transition is honored. Regression test forces the exact
interleaving by blocking inside the CPU probe.
P2 — uncovered entry points: cli.py --gateway and scripts/hermes-gateway
run_gateway() now arm the watchdog before importing the gateway graph.
hermes_cli/gateway.py run_gateway() keeps an idempotent backstop arm for
programmatic callers.
P2 — respawn-storm backoff interaction: the storm breaker's intentional
backoff sleep (up to minutes, ~zero CPU — indistinguishable from a parked
deadlock) now calls kick_startup_watchdog(extra_s=backoff) so the deadline
is pushed past the sleep instead of firing mid-backoff.
Also: the faulthandler stack dump is now additionally written to
logs/gateway-startup-watchdog.log (stderr may be absent on detached/
windowless runs); the disarm site in gateway/run.py moved inside the
loop-confirmed branch (if the loop is NOT live, the milestone was not
reached and the watchdog must stay armed); hermes_startup_watchdog added
to pyproject py-modules so sealed venvs ship it; SERVICE_RESTART_EXIT_CODE
is duplicated in the stdlib-only module with a parity test against
gateway.restart.
Tests: 38 in tests/gateway/test_startup_watchdog.py (contracts incl.
stdlib-only AST check and shim re-export identity, config resolution,
arm/disarm/kick, CPU-progress extension vs no-progress fire, probe-failure
fails toward firing, disarm-vs-fire race, dump record + file stacks,
lifecycle ledger, custom exit code).
Each release exact-pins at least one dependency to a version published
days before the release (v0.20.6: snowballstemmer==3.1.1, psutil==7.2.2).
For two weeks after release the relative exclude-newer cutoff filters
those versions out, so any venv that predates the release cannot resolve
the new pins at all ('no version of snowballstemmer==3.1.1' — observed
2026-08-29 updating three production installs v0.20.0 -> v0.20.6, one
Termux and two Linux servers; the Termux host additionally bricked on
psutil==7.2.2 sdist resolution, and cryptography's isolated build
environment resolved maturin/setuptools-rust under the same cutoff).
Same zero-float-protection logic as the setuptools/pillow/mcp/
firecrawl-anydoc exemptions: the pin bump WAS the review, so the cutoff
adds nothing for an exact pin and can only brick. Extend
exclude-newer-package to every exact-pinned package in
[project].dependencies / optional-dependencies (table moved to
one-key-per-line — 97 entries), plus maturin and setuptools-rust for
wheel-less sdist builds of the exempted cryptography pin.
test_exact_pinned_deps_exempt_from_exclude_newer enforces the invariant
going forward: adding a name==version pin without a matching
exclude-newer-package entry fails CI.
Windows installer editable builds fail in uv's isolated sandbox with
ModuleNotFoundError: wheel.cli because build-system.requires only listed
setuptools. setuptools.build_meta and our setup.py bdist_wheel guard both
import wheel during the build.
Also whitelist wheel in tool.uv.exclude-newer-package so the existing
build-system exclude-newer brick guard stays green.

Pattern-A architectural fix: blocking calls inside async functions freeze
the gateway/uvicorn event loop for every adapter, timer, and health check.
Known incidents: 17-minute getaddrinfo freeze (#91912 class), 10s restart
freeze in start_gateway (#36163).
Fixes at the four unguarded core sites:
- gateway/platforms/webhook.py: `gh pr comment` subprocess (30s timeout)
now runs via asyncio.to_thread — a webhook delivery no longer freezes
every other platform for the duration of a network call.
- gateway/run.py start_gateway --replace: two time.sleep() waits (10s +
5s worst case) become await asyncio.sleep() (re-lands #36163 at current
line numbers, credit AhmetArif0).
- gateway/slash_commands.py /save: session render + file write move off
the loop (scales with transcript size).
- hermes_cli/web_server.py voice TTS: multi-MB audio file read + unlink
move off the loop.
Prevention gate so the bug class cannot re-enter:
- pyproject.toml [tool.ruff.lint] select gains ASYNC210/220/221/251
(blocking HTTP / Popen / subprocess.run / time.sleep in async def).
These run in the existing blocking `ruff check .` CI job.
- Frozen ratchet baseline in per-file-ignores for the remaining legacy
sites (detached restart watchers; router sweep in flight via #84376;
two platform adapters), each documented for burn-down. New files or
new violations fail CI immediately.
- tests/** keeps the relaxation (deliberate sleeps in fixtures).
Verification:
- ruff check . green on this branch; sabotage file with time.sleep +
subprocess.run in async def fails the gate with 2 errors.
- New behavioral test test_webhook_offloop_delivery.py asserts loop
liveness DURING delivery (ticker coroutine): 1 tick on the old
blocking code (fails), 21 ticks off-loop (passes).
- 50 webhook/replace gateway tests + 26 save/export tests pass.

tool_search now takes queries: string[] (searched independently against
the same catalog, limit applies per query, default 5 / max 25) and
returns the split shape: per-query groups carry tool names only, one
shared tools map holds each matched tool's source, description (400-char
cap) and required parameter names once. When some queries miss, a single
top-level available_sources + hint block replaces the old per-response
fallback.
tool_describe now takes names: string[] and returns a map keyed by name;
unknown names collect in not_found (with the refresh hint) and
non-deferrable names keep their per-name spelling-check error in errors,
so one bad name no longer fails the whole call. Duplicates dedupe
silently.
The shared tokenizer now applies Snowball stemming (english, exact-pinned
snowballstemmer) at both index and query time, closing the measured
plural/singular miss where 'issues' failed to return create_issue. The
inline BM25 is unchanged. Stemmer instances are thread-local (they carry
mutable parse state and bridge dispatch can run on parallel tool-call
threads).
New config knobs under tools.tool_search: max_queries / max_describe_names
(default 10 each, floor 1, no upper clamp) bound the per-call array
inputs; over-cap calls error so the model repairs in one round-trip.
No backward compatibility with the single query/name shapes, by decision.
scripts/analyze_livetest.py renders both shapes since transcripts on disk
may predate this change.
mcp 2.0.0 implements MCP revision 2026-07-28 and makes three breaking
changes Hermes sits on top of: `mcp.server.fastmcp` is gone, every model
field is renamed to snake_case (camelCase survives only as a
serialization alias, which pydantic does not expose to attribute
access), and the SDK's own HTTP stack moved from `httpx` to `httpx2`.
Bump the pin across the dev/mcp/computer-use extras and port the tree:
- `mcp_serve.py` and `agent/transports/hermes_tools_mcp_server.py` move
from `FastMCP` to `mcp.server.MCPServer`, which has the same
decorator/add_tool surface. The hermes-tools server already
synthesised `__signature__` from Hermes' JSON Schema, which is exactly
what 2.0's `add_tool` reads.
- SDK model reads go through `mcp_field(obj, snake, camel)`, which reads
both spellings. A single-spelling read fails *silently* on the other
generation — empty tool schemas, dropped structured content, tool
results vanishing from sampling conversations — and `mcp` is an
optional extra users install at their own version.
- `sdk_httpx()` resolves the httpx flavour from the SDK's own transport
module, so objects handed to `streamable_http_client`, the `sse_client`
factory, and the OAuth metadata helpers come from the module the
installed SDK actually imports.
- HTTP support is gated on either streamable-HTTP entry point, not just
the deprecated alias 2.0 removed.
- OAuth: `OAuthClientProvider` lost its `timeout` argument (the
configured `oauth.timeout` now bounds the callback waiter's own poll
loop, where the browser round-trip was always awaited), and
`callback_handler` must return `AuthorizationCodeResult` rather than a
tuple. 2.0 also validates the RFC 9207 `iss` parameter, so the
callback handler and paste fallback capture it.
`mcp`/`mcp-types` 2.0.0 are inside the 14-day `exclude-newer` window, so
two narrow `exclude-newer-package` entries unblock `uv lock`, annotated
for removal on or after 2026-08-11. `httpx2` needs no exemption: 2.7.0 is
already outside the window and satisfies mcp's floor.

The relative exclude-newer = "14 days" cutoff bricks installs whenever the
resolver cannot see (or accept) a package's upload date:
- defusedxml / python-olm / unpaddedbase64 (#80387, #79434): ancient frozen
releases (2021-2023) whose upload dates are often absent from mirror
indexes and stale uv HTTP caches. uv then filters them entirely
("there are no versions of defusedxml"), breaking [youtube]/[wecom]/
[matrix] resolution and daily `uv sync --locked` runs.
- setuptools / pillow / mcp (#78227, #75992, #76020): exact-pinned deps.
When the pinned version's upload date is invisible, the resolver filters
the ONLY acceptable candidate — setuptools==83.0.0 in
[build-system].requires meant the project could not even be built from a
git checkout on released v0.20.0. Exempting an exact pin costs nothing:
the version cannot float without a reviewed pin bump.
Changes:
- pyproject.toml: add all six to the existing exclude-newer-package
whitelist, with rationale comments per class.
- uv.lock: regenerated; diff is the whitelist metadata only (verified
zero version drift, still 249 packages).
- tests/test_packaging_metadata.py: new standing guard
test_build_system_requires_exempt_from_exclude_newer — every
[build-system].requires package must be whitelisted while a relative
exclude-newer cutoff is configured. Verified both directions (fails
when setuptools is removed from the whitelist).
- scripts/install.sh: fix the stale tier-name comparison ("all (with
RL/matrix extras)" vs actual "all") that mislabeled every successful
Tier-1 install as a fallback-tier install (#79434 bonus finding).
Verification: uv lock --check green on uv 0.11.19 and 0.12.5;
uv sync --extra all --locked green; uv pip install -e '.[all]' resolves;
whitelist mechanism A/B-proven on a minimal project (unsatisfiable ->
resolves; build-requires variant: uv build fails -> succeeds).

Static machine-readable community plugin index with fuzzy search and
index-resolved installs, mirroring the Skills Hub catalog pattern
(fetch → HERMES_HOME/cache with 24h TTL → bundled seed fallback).
- hermes_cli/plugin_index.py: index fetch/cache/seed chain, fuzzy
search (name/description/tags/author + typo tolerance), capability
filter, bare-name resolution. Canonical URL overridable via
plugins.index_url config key.
- hermes_cli/data/plugin_index.json: bundled seed (offline fallback +
format reference) with 5 real ecosystem plugins, each pinned to an
exact commit SHA.
- hermes plugins search [term] [--json] [--capability] [--refresh]:
Rich table or JSON output, offline-safe, with an explicit
'indexed ≠ audited' footer.
- hermes plugins install <name>: bare names (no slash, no URL scheme)
resolve through the index to owner/repo[/subdir] @ pinned ref and
hand off to the existing install path (ref wired through the #82029
exact-ref support). Ambiguous names list candidates and exit;
explicit owner/repo and Git URL installs are untouched, and an
explicit --ref always beats the index pin.
- Docs: discovery section in user-guide plugins.md (format, submission
workflow via PR to hermes-plugin-index, security framing) and
reference/cli-commands.md rows.
- Tests: tests/hermes_cli/test_plugin_index_search.py (38 tests, no
live network) covering parsing, search, remote→cache→seed fallback,
TTL, install resolution/ambiguity/passthrough, and --json output.
cryptography 48.0.1 carries three advisories (GHSA-m2h6-j472-rp4c,
GHSA-jwv3-5hgf-82ww, CVE-2026-69247). msal and alibabacloud-tea-openapi
cap cryptography below 49, so the bump needs an override-dependencies
entry in [tool.uv] to take effect.
The cap is conservative, not a real limit: we installed tea-openapi
against cryptography 50 and its client ran with no errors.
This override only governs `uv lock` / `uv sync`. The lazy-install
path does not read [tool.uv] and can still downgrade the pin; the next
commit closes that path.
aiohttp moves to 3.14.3 in the same pass, for GHSA-9548-qrrj-x5pj.
many tests patched sys.platform or a module's _IS_WINDOWS flag, then
ran on linux ci. the patch selects the branch under test, but the host
does not have the behavior the branch exists for. the test proves the
patch, not the platform. some gated assertions never ran on any host.
this commit adds three markers: linux_only, macos_only, windows_only.
a conftest hook skips a marked test on the other hosts, with a clear
reason. no test fakes a host now. two documented fakes remain
(android/termux, freebsd) because no ci runner exists for them.
each fake site got one of four treatments:
- gate it: the real host supplies the platform; mocks cover real
dependencies only, never host identity
- patch the module's own probe when the subject is the probe's consumer
- assert against the real host when the fake stood in for any non-x host
- delete the patch when it set the value the host already has
bare skipif(sys.platform != ...) guards became markers too. the lane
model skips these on linux and never imports them on windows, so they
ran on no host. platform parametrize tables are now one marked test
per os.
running on real hosts found real errors: a chrome-sandbox failure in
test_gui_command that main hides, and two windows failures fixed here.
the agents.md testing section now documents the policy.
requires-python is >=3.11 so tomllib is always in stdlib; the
tomli fallback branch in _lint_toml_inproc was unreachable. Removes
the dependency from pyproject.toml + uv.lock and deletes the dead
try/except ImportError fallback in the code.
Bug 1 (UTF-8 BOM loss on V4A UPDATE):
_file_has_bom() trusted pre_content for BOM detection, but the most
common pre_content provider — read_file_raw() — deliberately strips
BOMs so the agent never sees U+FEFF glyphs. Passing BOM-stripped
content through pre_content caused a false-negative: the method
returned False and write_file() silently removed the marker on rewrite.
Fix: _file_has_bom() now always probes the first 3 bytes on disk
(head -c 3), ignoring pre_content for BOM purposes. pre_content is
still used by two other consumers — line-ending detection and lint/LSP
delta computation — neither of which is affected by BOM stripping.
Bug 2 (backward compatibility):
_apply_update() called write_file(path, content, pre_content=...) as a
keyword argument. Duck-typed file_ops implementations that only
implement the two-argument write_file(path, content) contract would
raise TypeError.
Fix: wrap the call in try/except TypeError, falling back to the
two-argument form when the keyword is not accepted.
Also declare tomli in pyproject.toml (pre-existing conditional import
for pre-3.11 Python, caught by the pre-commit dep scan after staging
file_operations.py).
Tests:
Add TestV4ABomRoundTrip with two cases:
- UPDATE on BOM-bearing file preserves the marker
- UPDATE on plain file does not inject a BOM
Addresses teknium1 review on PR #55661.
Google API and authentication packages permit vulnerable httplib2 and pyasn1
transitives, while the Workspace and Google Chat runtime installers previously
treated any importable version as sufficient. Existing environments could
therefore remain vulnerable after the project dependency pins were repaired.
Carry the fixed versions through the Google and Vertex extras, lazy feature
requirements, lockfile, and both runtime installers. Route the documented
Google Chat installation path through its maintained secure requirements
instead of an unconstrained direct pip command.
Detect stale distributions, install only unsatisfied requirements, and verify
the result before continuing. Behavioral tests cover those repair invariants
without freezing manifests, lockfiles, or complete package sets.
