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.
Builds on @AxDSan's PR #2109 to finish the KittenTTS wiring so the
provider behaves like every other TTS backend end to end.
- tools/tts_tool.py: `_check_kittentts_available()` helper and wire
into `check_tts_requirements()`; extend Opus-conversion list to
include kittentts (WAV → Opus for Telegram voice bubbles); point the
missing-package error at `hermes setup tts`.
- hermes_cli/tools_config.py: add KittenTTS entry to the "Text-to-Speech"
toolset picker, with a `kittentts` post_setup hook that auto-installs
the wheel + soundfile via pip.
- hermes_cli/setup.py: `_install_kittentts_deps()`, new choice + install
flow in `_setup_tts_provider()`, provider_labels entry, and status row
in the `hermes setup` summary.
- website/docs/user-guide/features/tts.md: add KittenTTS to the provider
table, config example, ffmpeg note, and the zero-config voice-bubble tip.
- tests/tools/test_tts_kittentts.py: 10 unit tests covering generation,
model caching, config passthrough, ffmpeg conversion, availability
detection, and the missing-package dispatcher branch.
E2E verified against the real `kittentts` wheel:
- WAV direct output (pcm_s16le, 24kHz mono)
- MP3 conversion via ffmpeg (from WAV)
- Telegram flow (provider in Opus-conversion list) produces
`codec_name=opus`, 48kHz mono, `voice_compatible=True`, and the
`[[audio_as_voice]]` marker
- check_tts_requirements() returns True when kittentts is installed
