Follow-up to the #99641 salvage:
- One module-level _normalize_security() (ssl/tls/implicit -> tls, starttls,
plain/none -> plain; unknown -> WARNING + secure default) replaces the three
copies of the alias set; _connect_imap/_connect_smtp/_standalone_send all
compare against the canonical value. Unknown modes no longer raise.
- _tls_context(verify, host) is module-level and shared by all sites; when
verification is disabled for a non-loopback host it logs a WARNING.
- _esecret_bool: an unset/empty env var now yields the caller's default
(previously is_truthy_value('') returned False, silently disabling TLS
verification whenever EMAIL_*_TLS_VERIFY was unset).
- Documented surface is platforms.email.extra.{imap,smtp}_security and
{imap,smtp}_tls_verify in config.yaml; env vars remain an internal bridge
and are NOT added to plugin.yaml (optional_env feeds hermes setup prompts).
- Docs: Proton Mail Bridge / local relays recipe in user-guide/messaging/email.md.
- Tests: starttls builds IMAP4 then .starttls(); unknown mode falls back to
tls/starttls with verification still on.
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.
Salvage of #2794 by @CharmingGroot, ported to the relocated
plugins/platforms/email/adapter.py:
- Guard raw_email = msg_data[0][1] against IndexError/TypeError and
non-bytes payloads. UIDs are added to _seen_uids before fetch, so an
exception mid-batch permanently skipped every remaining message in
the batch — now the bad message is logged and skipped instead.
- Message-ID domain generation falls back to 'localhost' when
EMAIL_ADDRESS lacks '@' (now via a shared _message_id_domain() helper
covering all 3 send paths; the PR fixed 2 of 3).
