Adds a third "Hermes Cloud" gateway mode to the desktop app: one portal
sign-in auto-discovers the agents on your account and connects to any of
them with no second interactive prompt.
- Electron: widen connection mode to 'local' | 'remote' | 'cloud', routed
through a centralized modeIsRemoteLike() so every resolution site treats
cloud exactly like remote; portal discovery (GET /api/agents over the
OAuth partition), Privy-cookie liveness, multi-org picker (NAS 409), and a
silent per-agent /oauth cascade (load protected root, not /login).
- Persist a cloudOrg on the cloud block; unselect cloud on mode switch.
- Renderer: Hermes Cloud ModeCard + agent picker (signed-out/loading/empty/
list), org picker, Change-org, connected-highlight + Connected pill.
- i18n (en + zh full; ja/zh-hant inherit via defineLocale), Cloud icon.
- IPC: hermes☁️{status,login,logout,discover,agent-sign-in}.
Salvage of #55402 onto current main: the original branch predates the
desktop electron .cjs -> .ts migration (39d09453f), so the electron half
was re-authored against the .ts files. Authorship preserved.
cloud-auto-discovery Phases 3 + 4.
The Memory & Context tab dropped any section key missing from
/api/config/schema, so when the backend began skipping memory.provider
(hidden in favor of the web dashboard's Plugins page) the desktop lost
its Memory Provider picker entirely, along with the provider config
panel and OAuth connect affordance mounted under it.
The desktop already declares its form in constants (section keys,
labels, enum options), and GET /api/config still returns the value.
Gate row existence on config presence instead: use the schema entry
when present, otherwise infer the field type from the config value.
Keys unknown to an older backend stay hidden since they are absent
from its config too.
Electron 40 ships Node 24.15, where tsx's ESM load hook returns null and
crashes with ERR_INVALID_RETURN_PROPERTY_VALUE. Bundle main+preload via
esbuild for `npm run dev` and always load the JS preload from dist/.
The model often emits a follow-up batch of tool calls as its own
assistant message with no prose or reasoning. On screen those rows look
like one continuous run, but assistant-ui only groups tool calls within a
single message, so the auto-scrolling tool window never triggered on them
(e.g. two batches of two searches read as 2 + 2, never reaching the
threshold).
Coalesce each settled tool-only assistant message into the preceding
assistant message in the render pipeline so its calls join that message's
tool group. Render-only (never touches the $messages store) and
settle-only (pending messages are skipped) so a live turn is never
merged/un-merged mid-stream; merged results are cached by source identity
so a stable turn yields stable objects with no re-render churn.
Main's #60569 (dashboard memory provider switching) rewrote the same
GET/PUT /api/memory/providers/{name}/config routes this PR owns — the
dashboard and desktop share one backend. Resolve by dispatching: providers
that declare a config_schema.py get the declared path (host-block storage,
locked honcho writes, profile scoping, actions); everything else keeps
main's instance get_config_schema()/save_config path unchanged, so the
dashboard's PluginsPage behavior is preserved for instance providers.
Setup manifests, the /setup endpoint, provider switching, and name
validation from #60569 apply to both paths. Instance payloads gain the
docs_url/actions keys the desktop panel expects; declared payloads gain
the setup block the dashboard expects. Main's hindsight/honcho instance-
schema tests are updated for the dispatch, and its status test gets the
HOME pin it was missing (it read the developer's real ~/.honcho).
Two client-side halves of the #55578 session split:
1. Submit with a null activeSessionId but a SELECTED stored session now
resumes that stored session instead of falling straight through to
createBackendSessionForSend - which silently forked the user's
conversation into a brand-new session that then got orphan-reaped.
New-chat drafts (no stored selection) still create sessions as before.
2. prompt.submit recovery now also fires on gateway request timeouts,
not only 'session not found'. A starved backend loop (the async-
delegation poller spin) rejects the submit with 'request timed out'
even though the stored session is fine; previously that surfaced an
error, left the binding cleared, and set up the split on the next
send.
Fail-then-pass: 2 new tests fail with production code reverted.
Everything else on the settings page writes through on change; the panel
hoarding edits behind a Save button meant navigation silently discarded
them. Discrete controls (switch, select) commit on change, text-like fields
commit on blur, each as a one-key partial save — silent on success, toast
on failure, no full refresh so sibling drafts survive. A committed secret
clears its draft and flips the set pill locally. The modal keeps explicit
Save changes: a dialog is a transaction with Cancel semantics.
The desktop app's chat panel reuses tui_gateway as its backend, so every chat session was stamped platform="tui". That made the agent read terminal-specific platform guidance while running in the graphical desktop chat surface.
Resolve the misclassification at its source: tui_gateway now picks platform="desktop" when HERMES_DESKTOP=1 and HERMES_DESKTOP_TERMINAL is unset, and keeps platform="tui" for the embedded terminal pane and standalone TUI. Add a PLATFORM_HINTS["desktop"] entry describing the actual chat surface (full GFM markdown, MEDIA: intercept, inline images). Move the embedded-pane clarifier to the platform-hint resolution site so it appends only to the tui hint under HERMES_DESKTOP_TERMINAL=1. Delete the now-dead desktop-hint block from build_environment_hints() that competed with the platform hint.
Standalone TUI sessions produce byte-identical prompts as before; the new desktop hint and clarifier are assembled once per session in the stable tier, so prompt caching is preserved.
* feat(install): warn pip/Homebrew installs are unsupported (CLI, TUI, desktop)
pip and Homebrew are now Unsupported install methods per
website/docs/getting-started/platform-support.md. Surface a
warn-don't-block deprecation notice everywhere the install method is
already shown, pointing at the platform-support docs and noting these
installs will not receive further updates. NixOS (Tier 2) is untouched.
- hermes_cli/config.py: shared is_unsupported_install_method() /
format_unsupported_install_warning() helpers so the wording and docs
link stay consistent across every surface.
- hermes_cli/banner.py: generalize the existing pip-only banner
warning to also cover Homebrew.
- hermes_cli/main.py: hermes update and hermes update --check print
the warning before proceeding (still update; warn, don't block).
- tui_gateway/server.py: session.info gains install_warning.
- ui-tui: SessionPanel renders install_warning alongside the existing
'N commits behind' notice.
- apps/desktop: SessionRuntimeInfo/GatewayEventPayload gain
install_warning; applyRuntimeInfo + the live session.info event fire
a snoozable warning toast via a new reportInstallMethodWarning(),
mirroring the existing backend-contract-skew toast pattern. i18n
strings added for en/zh/zh-hant/ja.
- Tests: updated pip banner assertions for the new wording, added a
Homebrew banner test, and two tui_gateway session_info tests
(install_warning present for pip, absent for git).
* fix(nix): make `hermes` in developement environment actually work
install modules as editable overlay with uv
* feat: print install method when running --version
* fix: correct detect install method when running from a subtree
Inputs use the app-wide desktop-input-chrome CSS (background set directly,
utilities lose the cascade), so the tinted panel surface was what made them
read flat — remove the tint and let the accent border + row hairlines carry
the structure, matching how inputs sit everywhere else in settings. The Tip
primitive styles for 2-3 word labels (bold, no wrap cap); give the info
variant a width cap, normal weight, and snug leading.
Fields can declare a longer 'info' text rendered as an (i) tooltip next to
the label in both the panel and the modal; honcho uses it to spell out the
session strategy, write frequency, and recall mode semantics. The modal
description claimed 'the active profile' without saying which — show the
active gateway profile name.
A failed config fetch (e.g. racing backend boot) left the panel on an
eternal spinner with only a toast; render the error inline with a Retry
button instead. Drop the panel surface from bg-card to bg-quinary and give
field inputs a quaternary well with a tertiary stroke so controls read as
distinct from the section they sit on.
Providers with behavior beyond fields (validate a server, start a local
instance, link a CLI profile) previously had no mount besides forking the
panel. Let the schema declare actions and one generic endpoint run them:
ProviderAction on ProviderConfigSchema, POST
/api/memory/providers/{name}/actions/{action} dispatching to
ACTION_HANDLERS in the plugin's config_actions.py (path-loaded and
import-light, like the schema), profile-scoped and off the event loop.
Handlers get the submitted values dict, return a JSON-able result, and
raise ValueError for user-facing 400s. The panel renders declared actions
as generic buttons beside Save. No bundled provider declares actions yet.
The settings page follows the desktop's active-profile switcher, but the
provider config calls didn't: no profileScoped() on the client and no
profile param on the backend, so a multi-profile desktop edited the serving
process's config while every surrounding card showed the selected profile's.
Accept ?profile= on both endpoints and resolve inside _profile_scope (the
skills/toolsets contract), spread profileScoped() into the two client calls,
and key the schema cache on the resolved config_schema.py path instead of
the provider name — user-installed plugins are per-profile, so one profile's
lookup must never answer for another's.
Drop the duplicate mermaid-block.tsx (own mermaid.initialize + render path,
theme frozen at first load) and wire preview-file.tsx's MarkdownCode through
the existing RichCodeBlock registry from #52935 instead. One mermaid init
path, theme-flip re-init, Zoomable + copy-as-PNG, RichBoundary error
fallback — and the preview pane gets svg fences for free. Shiki block stays
as the fallback for all other languages.
Salvaged from #40531; surgically reapplied onto current main (i18n'd
preview-file.tsx). mermaid dep already present on main.

The salvaged commit rewrote update-marker.cjs and its test with CRLF
line endings (Windows editor artifact); restore LF so the diff shows
only the substantive change.
A Windows venv broken mid-update (e.g. python-dotenv missing after a partial
pip install) still has python.exe + Scripts\hermes.exe on disk.
unwrapWindowsVenvHermesCommand() returned that interpreter with no probe --
bypassing even the caller's --version smoke test -- so every recovery action
(Retry, Repair install, Use local gateway) re-resolved the same dead backend:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'dotenv', same overlay, forever.
- unwrapWindowsVenvHermesCommand now runs canImportHermesCli() on the venv
python (checkout on PYTHONPATH, mirroring isActiveRuntimeUsable) and
returns null on failure so the resolver falls through to the bootstrap
installer, which actually repairs the venv.
- hermesRuntimeImportProbe() adds 'import dotenv' -- the first third-party
import on the CLI boot path (hermes_cli/env_loader.py) -- so a venv missing
python-dotenv fails the probe everywhere it's used (isActiveRuntimeUsable,
system-python rung, and the new unwrap gate).
- Regression tests: probe content + source assertion that the unwrap path
probes and falls through.
The Capabilities/MCP/Hub/Skills UX has settled, so lift every
`// TODO(i18n): literal until the UX settles` hardcoded English string into
the typed i18n catalog and drop the comments.
- New keys under `common` (expand, tryHint), `settings.mcp` (capability
summary, status line, all-servers, auth flow, tool chip titles, log empty
label), and `skills` (provenance, sort/bulk labels, empty states, editor
actions). Full translations in en + zh; ja + zh-hant overrides added.
- Module-level pure fns that had no `t` in scope now take the mcp translations
(`capabilitySummary`/`statusLine`) or an `emptyLabel` prop (`McpLogs`); the
archive toast takes `t`.
- Shared `common.tryHint(term)` dedupes the "Try “…”" search hint across
skills/messaging/cron/artifacts.
No behavior or styling change — string lookups only. Zero TODO(i18n) remain.
Post-merge follow-ups + several review rounds + a hub-search rework, folded together.
Merge-scuff restores (a stale-base refactor had reverted two live-on-main fixes):
- gateway: SessionStore compression-tip healing + its regression test.
- desktop: messaging session/transcript polling in desktop-controller
(MESSAGING_POLL / ACTIVE_MESSAGING_SESSION_POLL, refreshMessagingSessions,
refreshActiveMessagingTranscript, the richer sameCronSignature) so inbound
platform traffic updates live again instead of freezing until manual refresh.
Profile-switch isolation (epoch/close/guard on every profile-scoped async):
- Hub store clears + in-flight runHubAction bails (and swallows the post-switch
404 instead of a phantom toast); hub preview/scan/search/sources profile-scoped.
- MCP: probe/auth epoch guards, dirty-draft reset, sidebar mutations blocked
until config resettles AND every persist re-checks the epoch post-await;
profilePending clears on config settle incl. error; logs re-key on profile.
- Model settings reload on switch and epoch-guard setModelAssignment /
saveMoaModels / API-key activation.
- Config draft resets + cancels its autosave on switch; skill editor/archive and
star-map node dialogs close on switch; openSkillEditor / star-map openEdit
discard stale fetches; tool-usage analytics loads are profile-guarded/keyed.
Correctness + UX:
- Unique per-skill action names for hub install AND uninstall; hub/catalog rows
flip only on a clean exit_code; catalog install polls the background bootstrap
to completion, reconciles the mcp.json draft (no dropped server), and fails
loudly on non-zero exit; MCP catalog query keyed by profile.
- /test reports needs-auth for anonymous auth:oauth servers; /auth snapshots +
restores tokens on a failed re-auth and clears the full 300s callback window.
- config-settings shows a retry on load failure; CodeEditor/JsonDocumentEditor
go read-only while saving so edits typed mid-save aren't dropped.
- Deep-link highlighter deletes its param only after a successful scroll.
- Restored the PageSearchShell trailing slot → Artifacts refresh button/spinner.
- /settings?tab=mcp redirect keeps server=.
Progressive hub search: fan out one query per backend-searchable source
(index-covered API sources stay unsearchable → no ~70-call GitHub re-hammer),
merge/dedupe by trust as each lands, per-source spinner overlaid on the dimmed
chip — results stream in without blocking on the slowest, no layout shift.
test(web): /api/skills list carries usage + provenance (CI contract).
A back-to-back run of 3+ adjacent tool calls now collapses into a
fixed-height window that pins the newest call to the bottom and fades
older ones up under a top gradient, so a long run no longer shoves the
reply off screen. Shorter runs are byte-identical to before, and the DOM
shape is the same in both modes (only classes flip) so crossing the
threshold mid-stream never remounts a row. Expanding any row breaks the
window out to full height via a `:has([data-tool-open])` rule.
Route the app off its hand-rolled helpers onto lib/{text,time,format,json-format}
and the new primitives, plus assorted small tidy-ups:
- compactNumber for counts/tokens; normalize/capitalize/asText at the many
filter/label sites; shared Intl date/time formatters; row-hover + framed
editor adoption; scrollbar-gutter + padding parity on list surfaces.
- Messaging/Artifacts/Cron search hints + narrow-viewport tab dropdown;
floating-pet adopts useOnProfileSwitch; number formatting in statusbar,
command-center, agents.
- Electron: native overlay width + backend spawn tidy.
- Settings > Keys: credential fields read as plain subtext (all-unset) until
the group is focused or expanded, then take full input chrome with no
horizontal/vertical shift; inline Remove (trash) + Save mirror SearchField's
trailing-clear pattern instead of a floating hint that overlapped the card;
Esc still cancels. Drops the now-dead or/escToCancel i18n keys.
- Shared TabDropdown/ResponsiveTabs (components/ui): PageSearchShell and the
Command Center log file/level filters reuse the one narrow-width collapse.
- OverlayNav: data-driven pane nav — persistent rail on wide, a single dropdown
riding the titlebar strip on narrow; Settings and Command Center adopt it, and
the mobile dropdown carries the same section icons as the rail. Fixes narrow
vertical centering, redundant mobile section titles, gateway-status wrap, and
Panel master/detail stacking.
- OverlayIconButton is now the titlebar ghost button, matching the close X at
every size. Settings sub-view nav opens section + sub-view in one navigate so
API-keys/accounts actually open on narrow.
- Settings > Model: cube icon (was the {} namespace glyph) and a DOM-shaped
skeleton in place of the centered spinner.
- Command palette / session switcher clear the macOS traffic lights on small
screens.
- Prettier/eslint sweep across the touched files.
Root-causes the July 2026 Windows incident chain (locked _brotlicffi.pyd /
_sodium.pyd during install, then 'No module named annotated_doc' with
'hermes update' insisting 'Already up to date!'):
- hermes update: probe venv core imports even when the checkout is current;
a half-updated venv (dep sync killed mid-flight by a locked .pyd) is now
detected and repaired instead of being reported as up to date
- hermes update (Windows): after pausing gateways, refuse to mutate the venv
while other processes run from the venv interpreter (the Desktop backend
runs as python.exe so the hermes.exe shim guard never saw it); --force
keeps the old behavior
- install.ps1 venv stage: disarm gateway autostart Scheduled Tasks before
the kill sweep (they respawn the gateway inside the kill->delete window),
make the sweep a bounded loop requiring 3 clean passes, and rename-then-
delete the old venv (a rename succeeds even with mapped DLLs) with stale-
dir cleanup on the next run
- desktop updater: 'venv shim still locked after 15s' now ABORTS the update
hand-off (restarting our backend, surfacing the holder to the user)
instead of 'proceeding anyway (force)' into guaranteed venv corruption;
the unlock wait also re-kills respawned backends each poll tick
Grace and timeout timers in runRenderTitleJob can call getTitle after
finish() tears down the hidden BrowserWindow, throwing in the main
process when the Artifacts page resolves many link titles concurrently.
Fold the skill hub (search/preview/scan/install, from #57441) into Capabilities
as a fourth "Browse Hub" tab, rebuilt on our stack:
- sources + debounced term search + preview are useQuery-driven (RQ dedupes/
caches per term, cancels stale terms — no hand-rolled sequence guard).
- Each result is a self-contained HubSkillRow that installs/uninstalls ITSELF,
reading its own status from a nanostore (store/hub-actions). Concurrent
installs never desync; an optimistic installed-override flips a row the instant
its own action resolves instead of racing the sources refetch.
- Action log bubbles through a $hubActiveLog atom into the shared LogTail in a
collapsed-by-default, persistent bottom DetailPane (ANSI stripped).
A Cursor-style MCP manager inside Capabilities, plus the backend it needs.
- Server list with brand/favicon avatars + live status dot and a capability
summary (N tools, M prompts, K resources); Servers | Catalog views.
- Catalog: one-click install of Nous-approved servers with required-env prompts.
- GUI OAuth: Authenticate opens the system browser from the TTY-less backend and
verifies a token actually lands; header/API-key servers are never pushed down
OAuth; a dirty mcp.json can't drop a freshly-persisted auth field.
- Full-width mcp.json editor (ecosystem document format) + pinned stdio/agent
LogTail; probes cached 5m and keyed by (profile, config) so revisiting never
respawns the fleet or shows a stale probe.
- Whole-map persistence (PUT /api/mcp/servers) so deletes/toggles actually stick
(the generic /api/config deep-merge could not remove keys).
- perf: MCP probe/auth no longer hold the global skills lock, so a slow stdio
spawn can't stall every other request into a 15s timeout.
- per-tool include/exclude gating (lib/mcp-tool-filter) mirroring the CLI loader.
Merge the old Skills + Toolsets tabs and pull MCP out of Settings into one
master-detail "Capabilities" hub (Skills / Tools / MCP / Browse Hub).
- Skills: usage-sorted from real per-skill activity, provenance badges
(learned / built-in / hub), edit + archive for learned skills, per-tab bulk
toggle; full-bleed empty states.
- Tools: usage-aware, container-queried rows (no early two-column collapse).
- Settings panels move onto the shared config-record query cache; the deleted
Settings MCP page redirects (/settings?tab=mcp → /skills?tab=mcp).
- Lazy, profile-scoped, TTL-cached usage analytics so the heavy 365-day scan
never blocks the Skills/MCP tabs. Full en/zh strings (ja/zh-hant inherit).
The active-transcript poll armed a 5 s timer for every selected session
and no-op'd inside the tick for local chats (already live over the
websocket). Derive activeIsMessaging and gate the effect on it so local
chats never spin an idle timer.
Inbound Telegram/WeChat/Discord messages are written by the background
gateway, not the desktop websocket that drives local chats. Without
explicit polling the messaging sidebar and the open transcript stay
frozen until the user manually refreshes.
Desktop:
- MESSAGING_POLL_INTERVAL_MS (10 s): interval poll of the messaging
session list so new platform sessions surface automatically.
- ACTIVE_MESSAGING_SESSION_POLL_INTERVAL_MS (5 s): poll the currently-
viewed messaging transcript and re-hydrate the chat state when the
FNV-1a signature changes (hash covers role + timestamp + content).
- sameCronSignature now compares lineage_root_id / source / profile /
preview / message_count / last_active / ended_at so stale previews
and activity times are no longer silently ignored.
- sessionMatchesStoredId helper de-dups the id / _lineage_root_id check.
- refreshMessagingSessions exposed from useSessionListActions so the
controller can use it in the poll effect.
Gateway:
- SessionStore._compression_tip_for_session_id: look up the latest
compression continuation for a session id.
- SessionStore._heal_compression_tip_locked: rewrite a stale entry to
the compression child before returning it, so a restart or failed send
no longer leaves the store pinned to the compressed parent.
