Second, deeper pass over tools/gateway/hermes_cli plus first pass over
the trees wave 1 missed (acp, acp_adapter, skills, computer_use, docker,
dashboard, conformance, monitoring, secret_sources, hermes_state,
providers). Same rubric as wave 1 (AGENTS.md test policy); security,
alternation/caching invariants, issue-number regressions, and E2E kept.
Real test-quality fixes found and rooted out along the way:
- tests/tools/test_command_guards.py made real auxiliary-LLM HTTPS calls
(DEFAULT_CONFIG smart-approval leaked in) — pinned approval
mode=manual via autouse fixture: 17.4s → 0.4s.
- test_model_switch_custom_providers.py / test_user_providers_model_switch.py
silently probed live provider catalogs (~2s/test) — stubbed
cached_provider_model_ids/provider_model_ids/fetch_api_models.
- test_telegram_noise_filter.py: 15-platform copy-paste matrix over
shared gateway.run logic → 3 representative platforms (55s → 3.9s).
- test_gateway_shutdown.py: stop()'s 5s interrupt-deadline loop spun on
MagicMock agents — interrupt.side_effect now clears _running_agents
(22s → 1.0s).
- test_gateway_inactivity_timeout.py poll-harness timings shrunk 3-5x
(24s → 1.1s); test_mcp_stability.py backoff/SIGTERM-grace sleeps
patched (15.4s → 2.5s); test_async_delegation.py negative-drain wait
5s → 0.5s.
- test_telegram_init_deadline.py: loop-block margin restored to 1.0s
with rationale comment — the watchdog-dump assertion needs the loop
blocked well past deadline+grace under parallel load (flaked once in
the 40-worker verification run at a 0.2s margin).
Verification: full hermetic suite via scripts/run_tests.sh —
2,438 files, 21,718 tests passed, 0 failed, 293.9s wall.
Suite totals vs original baseline: 46,820 → 19,757 test functions
(−57.8%), wall 583.5s → 293.9s (−50%), subprocess CPU 13,564s → 11,623s.
Replace REST-based Discord liveness probe with local WebSocket/heartbeat
state detection. REST success doesn't prove Gateway event delivery — a
half-closed WebSocket can leave Bot.start() alive while REST returns 200.
Now samples ready/open/ACK state and heartbeat latency; consecutive
unhealthy samples emit one retryable fatal code so GatewayRunner rebuilds
the adapter through the existing reconnect path.
Also fixes three lifecycle gaps in the recovery path:
1. asyncio.wait_for() can remain blocked if adapter cleanup swallows
cancellation — now uses bounded asyncio.wait() with task detachment.
2. Multiplexed secondary-profile adapters had no profile-scoped reconnect
owner — now uses one runner-owned reconnect slot per profile.
3. An in-flight turn could send its final text through the disconnected
adapter after a replacement was registered — now resolves the live
same-profile replacement for unsent final responses only (message IDs
never migrate, edits/deletes stay on the old transport).
Adds an opt-in Linux/systemd event-loop watchdog (gateway.systemd_watchdog_seconds,
default 0) for the failure mode where the whole asyncio loop stops making
progress and no in-process liveness task can run. stdlib-only sd_notify,
Type=notify/WatchdogSec generation, READY/STOPPING lifecycle.

The Discord adapter could enter a silent zombie state after a network
outage / proxy stall: the process is alive, _client looks open, but the
underlying socket is dead. discord.py's WebSocket reconnect never sees a
RST through a wedged proxy/NAT, so client.start() spins forever without
exiting — which means the bot-task done callback (which only fires on
task completion) never trips either. The bot stays "offline" in Discord
until a manual `hermes gateway restart`. Reported offline for 13-17h.
Adds an out-of-band REST liveness probe in DiscordAdapter. Every
`discord.liveness_interval_seconds` (default 60s) the adapter issues a
cheap fetch_user(bot_id) — the same REST path as message delivery, so it
fails when the proxy/NAT is wedged. After
`discord.liveness_failure_threshold` consecutive failures (default 3) the
probe closes the wedged client and surfaces a retryable fatal error,
which trips the gateway's existing _platform_reconnect_watcher and
rebuilds the adapter. Operators disable it by setting either knob to 0.
Config lives in config.yaml (discord.liveness_*) per the .env-is-secrets
policy; _apply_yaml_config bridges it to internal env vars the adapter
reads, matching the existing HERMES_DISCORD_TEXT_BATCH_* pattern.
