fix(tools): freeze tools[] across agent-cache eviction; make /reload-mcp the re-probe hatch
Policy: availability-gated tools (check_fn probes — Docker, HASS_TOKEN, OAuth…) are frozen for the life of a session. tools[] only changes on /new, /reload-mcp, or compaction. Two doors remained after #100638: * Gateway agent-cache eviction (LRU/idle sweep/cross-process invalidation) rebuilds a fresh AIAgent for the SAME session and agent_init re-derives agent.tools from live probes with no predecessor to preserve. Persist the session's resolved tool-name order in a new `sessions.tool_names` JSON column (declarative reconciliation, SCHEMA_VERSION 28), written alongside the system prompt and re-pinned on every published refresh (so /reload-mcp and compaction naturally reset it; /new mints a new row). On restore-for-existing-session the fresh definitions are folded onto the saved order via the SAME `_merge_preserving_prefix` helper — a probe-flipped tool is carried forward from the registry schema, a deregistered one dropped, new tools appended at the tail. * /reload-mcp (CLI, gateway, TUI RPC) now also calls `reprobe_tool_availability()` — drops the check_fn verdict cache and the get_tool_definitions memo — so a user can consciously pick up a credential/daemon that appeared mid-session. Docs updated. |

fix(desktop): model picker no longer hardcodes --global; one persist policy for every surface (#90235)
Symptom: picking a model in the Desktop composer for the primary chat
silently rewrote config.yaml (model.default + model.provider) as the
profile default, ignoring model.persist_switch_by_default. A throwaway
pick that resolved to e.g. openai-api (no key) left the profile with an
unusable default on the next launch (#90235).

feat(fast): bounded /fast auto|cold windows behind one route-aware gate
Adds two bounded fast modes on top of the static /fast toggle, default OFF: - `auto`: every user turn opens a `agent.fast_auto_seconds` (default 60s) window; requests inside it carry the provider fast param, later tool-loop requests fall back to standard pricing. - `cold`: the same window, but only on the first turn of a session (no prior user/assistant/tool history). agent/fast_mode.py holds the whole policy: `begin_turn()` at the run_conversation ingress arms `agent._fast_until`; `effective_request_overrides()` is consumed in the ONE place request_overrides feed the transports (build_api_kwargs), so the fast param is a per-request kwarg only. System prompt, tools and messages are untouched — the prompt cache is preserved. resolve_fast_mode_overrides() is now the single gate for static and bounded modes and accepts provider/base_url: OpenRouter, Nous, Copilot, Azure, Bedrock and custom base_urls never receive service_tier/speed (#34308's route gating). Both existing callers (CLI turn route, gateway turn route) and the TUI config.set path pass the route. Surfaces: config `agent.service_tier: auto|cold` + `agent.fast_auto_seconds`, `/fast auto|cold` in CLI, gateway (picker gains both entries), TUI/desktop config.set; status shows the mode; web dashboard select lists the real values. Docs: configuration.md Fast Mode section with mode table + cost note, slash-commands, cli-config.yaml.example, locale strings for the two picker entries. Salvages #89991 (bounded fast modes) and #34308 (route gating). Fixes #64785, #74730. Co-authored-by: Eva <239388517+100yenadmin@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: kbaicai <kbaicai@qq.com> |

fix(gateway): announce declined 'all' scope in /sessions and /resume listings
A non-admin '/sessions all' or '/resume --all' silently downgraded to chat-scoped listing with zero feedback, which reads as 'my session vanished' (community Telegram report). Both surfaces now append a notice that cross-chat listing requires a configured admin. Follows up the salvaged current-session '(current)' marker (PR #68556, fixes #68547): sibling tests updated to pin the new contract, new i18n key gateway.resume.all_requires_admin added to all 17 locales, docs updated. |

fix(cli): honour model_aliases api_key, stop cross-provider key leak (#83612)
Salvaged from PR #84199 by @RickyYii. DirectAlias gains api_key/key_env; the direct-alias override re-resolves credentials against the alias endpoint (host-gated, #28660) and reuses the pre-alias key only on an origin match; oneshot -m <alias> passes the alias key as explicit_api_key; direct-alias branch gains the OLLAMA_API_KEY host gate. Fixes #83612. |

feat: /plan graduates from bundled skill to built-in command on every surface
The bundled plan skill's auto-generated slash command fell off the capped
Telegram/Discord command menus for most installs (skills are the only tier
trimmed at the platform caps, alphabetically — 'plan' sat past the cutoff at
index 57 of 82 bundled skills). Converting it to a first-class CommandDef
gives it a guaranteed core-tier menu slot on every platform.
- agent/plan_prompt.py: build_plan_prompt() — plan-mode rules + authoring
craft distilled from the retired skill; prompt-injection pattern like
/learn and /init (no engine, no model-tool footprint, cache-safe).
- CLI: _handle_plan_command mixin handler (pending-input injection).
- Gateway: /plan branch rewrites event.text and falls through (role
alternation preserved).
- TUI: command.dispatch branch ('plan' was already in
_PENDING_INPUT_COMMANDS).
- Removed skills/software-development/plan/ + docs pages (EN + zh-Hans),
catalog rows, sidebar entry, related_skills references.
- PROTECTED_BUILTIN_SKILLS is now empty (mechanism kept); dependent
curator/usage tests moved to monkeypatched sentinels.
Salvages #67292 by @webtecnica (credit: first /plan command submission,
issue #67264); reworked from inline planning prompt to the prompt-injection
pattern with workspace-saved plans. Closes #67264, closes #36821 (empty
/plan infers task from conversation context).

feat: /btw now answers side questions with conversation context; /background renamed to /bg
/bg (formerly /background, which is retired) keeps the existing semantics: spawn a fresh, independent agent session in the background. /btw is now its own command matching the convention other harnesses use: ask a quick side question ABOUT the current conversation without interrupting it. A one-shot auxiliary LLM call (main model by default, overridable via auxiliary.side_question.* in config.yaml) answers from a read-only transcript snapshot — the live session's history, role alternation, and prompt cache are untouched, and the current turn keeps running. Surfaces wired: CLI (inline mid-run dispatch), gateway (all messengers, busy-dispatch table + idle dispatch, i18n across all 17 locales), TUI (prompt.btw RPC + btw.complete event), Discord native slash, relay command manifest, desktop exec routing, docs (EN + zh-Hans). |

feat: /review command — independent reviewer subagent on every surface
/review takes the last 10 chat messages plus optional instructions, spawns a full-privilege background subagent (the async delegation rail) that investigates the referenced work (PR, code, docs), and its complete review re-enters the spawning session as a normal async-delegation completion the primary agent can act on. - agent/review_engine.py: shared engine (snapshot, briefing, auxiliary.review credential resolution, dispatch, note formatting) - tools/delegate_tool.py: internal credentials_cfg per-call override (never model-facing) resolved through the same credential system as delegation.provider pins - auxiliary.review config block (provider/model/base_url/api_key/ api_mode); provider auto + empty model = inherit the main model - Surfaces: CLI process_command, gateway run.py dispatch + slash_commands handler (binds the approval session key so the completion routes back), TUI/Desktop live dispatch in tui_gateway/server.py, CommandDef registry (+Slack /hermes-only cap) - Docs: delegation.md section + slash-commands.md (both tables) - Tests: 15 engine tests (sabotage-verified: credentials_cfg and dispatch tests fail without the fix), 4 gateway handler tests through the real async rail |

Inspired by Copilot CLI: /worktree — create isolated git worktrees mid-session
Copilot CLI 1.0.79-3 added /worktree new (start a session in a new worktree). Hermes already has hermes -w launch-time isolation; this adds the mid-session counterpart: /worktree new [name] creates a tree under .worktrees/ (remote-tip base, worktree_sync honored), retargets TERMINAL_CWD + process cwd, and registers the same keep-if-unpushed exit cleanup. /worktree shows the active tree; /worktree list lists them. Named trees skip the hermes- prefix so the startup pruner ages them on the slower named-tree schedule. |

Inspired by Perplexity Computer: Model Council mode for Mixture of Agents
Adds a 'council' synthesis style to MoA (per preset via synthesis_style, one-shot via the new /council command on CLI + gateway). Reference models answer independently; the aggregator chairs the deliberation and produces a user-facing report of consensus, per-model disagreements (with the differing assumptions behind them), unique contributions, and a recommendation with an explicit confidence level. Inspired by Perplexity's Model Council rollout to Perplexity Computer (changelog 08/04/26): pick a board of 2-8 models, run them independently, synthesize where they agree/disagree and what each uniquely surfaces. |

docs: present /export and /import as the second way to share a profile
The distributions guide framed export/import as local backup only, so the new slash commands read as a competing path instead of the lightweight half of one story. Give profile-distributions.md a comparison table up front (git repo vs single file: updates, versioning, setup cost, what each carries), rewrite the Not-a-fit bullets that mislabeled export, and add a full Export/import section covering the CLI, TUI, and desktop entry points, the desktop.json overlay, and what an archive actually contains — including that it can carry memories and sessions, which a distribution never does. Also register /export and /import in the slash-command reference (they shipped undocumented), point the profile-command entries at their chat and desktop doors, and cover the desktop Export/Import UI on the desktop page. |

feat: /refine — run the memory/skill self-improvement review on demand
/refine [focus] fires the existing background review fork (AIAgent._spawn_background_review) immediately instead of waiting for the automatic 10-turn memory / 10-iteration skill nudge counters. Optional focus instructions are appended to the review prompt so the fork prioritizes what the user asked for (e.g. '/refine save the deploy workflow as a skill'). - New optional focus parameter threaded through _spawn_background_review -> spawn_background_review_thread. Automatic post-turn reviews pass None and their prompts are byte-identical to before. - CLI handler snapshots conversation_history; gateway handler pulls the idle session's cached AIAgent from _agent_cache (rejected while the agent is running). - Review runs in a daemon thread against the snapshot — live conversation, message alternation, and prompt cache untouched. - Slack stays under the 50-slash cap via /hermes refine. Adapted from the /refine concept in Prime Intellect's Prime-Agent (Continual Harness); Hermes' equivalent durable state is the memory + skill stores, so the review fork is the natural target. |

feat: /heartbeat — recurring session re-entry prompt fired when idle
/heartbeat every <interval> <prompt> gives the current session one recurring instruction. When the session is idle and the interval has elapsed, the prompt is injected as a plain user turn — same conversation, same context, prompt cache and role alternation untouched. - CLI: idle-poll watchdog thread (wake-word watchdog pattern) feeding _pending_input; gateway: single gateway-wide async poller injecting through the adapter FIFO. Busy sessions coalesce their tick to the next idle poll. - Missed ticks coalesce (anchor resets on fire) — a busy hour yields ONE heartbeat turn, never a backlog. Real user messages always win. - 60s interval floor; injected prompt carries a don't-invent-work guard so idle heartbeats don't generate busywork. - State persists in SessionDB.state_meta (heartbeat:<session_id>), survives /resume, migrates across compression session rotations alongside /goal state. - Session-scoped and in-process by design — durable cross-process schedules remain the cron subsystem's job (docs draw the boundary). - Slack stays under the 50-slash cap via /hermes heartbeat; ghost-text suggester now prefers the shortest prefix match so /he still suggests /help. Adapted from the session-heartbeat concept in Prime Intellect's Prime-Agent (/heartbeat). |

feat(diff): cross-surface /diff with staged/all/session modes
Widen the cherry-picked /diff base (#4839 by @SHL0MS) into one cross-surface implementation, folding in the review feedback and the best ideas from the two sibling PRs (#22703, #53527): - tools/working_diff.py: shared git collection layer — unstaged (default), staged, and all (vs HEAD) modes; untracked files folded in via `git diff --no-index` so new files appear as additions (Codex /diff parity); shlex-split arguments preserve quoted paths. - CLI: handler moved to hermes_cli/cli_commands_mixin.py per the current god-file decomposition (dispatch stays in cli.py), renders through the rich console with a 400-line terminal-flood guard. - Gateway: _handle_diff_command in gateway/slash_commands.py + dispatch in gateway/run.py; fenced ```diff output truncated to 60 lines / 3000 chars before the platform senders apply their own per-platform message clamps (tool-progress-style layered truncation). Localized strings in all 17 locale catalogs. - /diff session (from #53527): cumulative checkpoint-baseline diff of everything Hermes changed, via new CheckpointManager.session_diff(); docstring records the retained-baseline approximation caveat from review. Works on both surfaces; degrades with an actionable message when checkpoints are off. - Slack: /diff routed via /hermes diff (50-slash cap; keeps telegram-parity test green and /version native). - Registry: cross-surface CommandDef with staged|all|session subcommands; docs: slash-commands reference (CLI + gateway tables + both-surfaces list) and hermes-agent skill reference. - Tests: tests/tools/test_working_diff.py (real git repos), tests/hermes_cli/test_diff_command.py (real git + stubbed checkpoint manager), tests/gateway/test_diff_command.py (end-to-end handler, real checkpoint store), TestSessionDiff in tests/tools/test_checkpoint_manager.py.

feat(cli,gateway): unify /context into a visual context-usage breakdown
Extends the cherry-picked /context command (PR #52184) and prompt-size attribution helpers (PR #66656) into one visual context view across surfaces, and absorbs the per-component budget-visibility goal of the /tokens proposal (PR #48470): - agent/context_breakdown.py: pure renderers over the existing payload — a 5x20 glyph block grid (1 cell ~= 1% of the model window), an 'Estimated usage by category' table with free space, and expanded per-skill / per-toolset listings via compute_context_details(), which reuses the prompt-size attribution mechanism (skills index-line bytes + registry tool->toolset map) converted to the same chars/4 heuristic. - cli.py: /context [all] renders grid + category table (+ expanded listings) from the live agent and in-memory conversation history. - gateway/slash_commands.py: /context appends the plain-text category table (no grid — monospace not guaranteed on messaging platforms); /context all adds the expanded listings. Fail-open: breakdown errors never break the gauge. - hermes_cli/commands.py: /context gains the 'all' subcommand; /version demoted to /hermes version on Slack to keep the 50-slash cap. - tests: renderer unit tests against synthetic payloads, registry test, gateway /context + /context all + failure-degradation handler tests. - docs: slash-commands reference + CLI guide entries. Read-only and locally computed: no provider calls, no prompt-cache impact.

Salvaged from #45765 by @navahc09 — kept the PR's callout structure and placement, rewrote the content to match current behavior: Slack blocks native slash commands in threads and never delivers them, so Hermes recognises a leading '!' as an alternate command prefix.

fix(billing): rename user-facing "terminal billing" copy to Remote Spending (#68355)
* fix(billing): rename user-facing "terminal billing" copy to Remote Spending
The capability was renamed Remote Spending on the portal (consent CTA:
"Allow Remote Spending"; per-terminal states Granted/Stopped), but the
terminal, desktop, and docs still said "terminal billing" everywhere.
- Feature name: Remote Spending in titles/labels, lowercase mid-sentence.
- Step-up action verb is now "allow", matching the portal consent CTA.
- Kill-switch-off recovery copy points at the actual control ("a billing
admin can turn it on from the portal's Hermes Agent page") instead of
the dead-end "manage it on the portal".
- Per-terminal revoke copy uses the portal vocabulary ("stopped").
- Wire identifiers (cli_billing_enabled, cli_billing_disabled, ...) are
unchanged; copy, comments, docs, and test expectations only.
* fix(billing): correct the post-step-up denial diagnosis + finish the desktop rename
Adversarial review findings: (1) a repeated insufficient_scope after a
successful step-up is a per-terminal authorization failure, but the copy
blamed the org kill-switch and pointed at the wrong recovery control —
now: "Remote Spending still isn't active for this terminal — the
authorization didn't take. Retry, or make this change on the portal."
(2) the desktop step-up flow started in Remote Spending vocabulary but
finished in "billing management access" — renamed both end states.
(3) prettier formatting on the touched files (matches the post-merge
fmt bot).

The messaging gateway table still listed /new ("Start a new

feat(egress): iron-proxy credential-injection firewall for sandboxes
Rebuilds the iron-proxy egress feature cleanly onto current main. The original feat/iron-proxy branch had diverged from main with an unmergeable history (no usable merge-base after main history motion), so the feature's content diff was re-applied onto a fresh main cut and the three config/docs conflicts (commands.py status/egress, config.py proxy vs computer_use, slash-commands.md) resolved keeping main's content plus the egress additions. Optional, off-by-default TLS-intercepting egress proxy for remote terminal sandboxes. Sandboxes hold opaque proxy tokens; iron-proxy swaps them for real provider API keys at the network boundary. Includes the full review-cycle hardening: - P0/P1/P2 rounds (GodsBoy, stephenschoettler, arshkumarsingh, annguyenNous, maxpetrusenko, sxuff findings) - v0.39 schema realignment + Docker bridge-bind/listener-role fixes - Docker UX/enforcement hardening Salvaged security fixes folded in with credit: - Three P0 gaps (version-probe env scrub, Bitwarden ImportError fail-closed, container-reuse egress-boundary) + Docker v29.5.3 empty-label edge — kuangmi-bit (#48073) - P1/P2 (fail-closed replace.require:true, NODE_OPTIONS CA-flag conflict, GPG checksum verify, threat-model wording) — Bartok9 (#48076) Co-authored-by: kuangmi-bit <kuangmi@deeparchi.com> Co-authored-by: Bartok9 <danielrpike9@gmail.com> |

feat(skills): /learn — distill a reusable skill from anything you describe (#51506)
Open-ended skill learning across every surface. /learn <free text> takes a description of any source — a directory, a URL, the workflow you just walked the agent through, or pasted notes — and the live agent gathers it with the tools it already has (read_file/search_files, web_extract, the conversation, the pasted text), then authors a SKILL.md via skill_manage following the house authoring standards (<=60-char description, the standard section order, Hermes-tool framing, no invented commands). No engine, no model-tool footprint, works on any terminal backend (local, Docker, remote): /learn builds a standards-guided prompt and hands it to the agent as a normal turn. - agent/learn_prompt.py: shared standards-guided prompt builder - /learn registry entry (both surfaces) + CLI handler (inject onto input queue) + gateway handler (rewrite turn, fall through, /blueprint pattern) - tui_gateway command.dispatch returns a send directive -> TUI + dashboard chat - dashboard Skills page 'Learn a skill' panel (dir + URL + open-ended text) composes a /learn request and runs it in chat - docs (slash-commands ref + skills feature page), 11 targeted tests Inspired by OpenAI Codex's Record & Replay and the /learn concept from #47234 (dir-distillation engine); reworked to be open-ended and engine-free per review. |

feat(providers): remove google-gemini-cli + google-antigravity OAuth providers (#50492)
* feat(providers): remove google-gemini-cli + google-antigravity OAuth providers Google now actively bans accounts for third-party tools that piggyback on Gemini CLI / Antigravity / Code Assist OAuth, and because abuse prevention sits at a backend layer the ban can extend to the entire Google account (Gmail/Drive), with a second violation being permanent. Ref: https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/discussions/20632 Removes both OAuth inference providers entirely (modules, provider profiles, auth/runtime/config/models wiring, the /gquota Code Assist quota command, the antigravity-cli optional skill, desktop + docs surface in en + zh-Hans). The API-key 'gemini' provider (GOOGLE_API_KEY/GEMINI_API_KEY against generativelanguage.googleapis.com) is unaffected and stays fully supported. * fix(skills): keep the antigravity-cli skill — only the OAuth provider is removed The antigravity-cli optional skill orchestrates the external `agy` binary as a coding-agent tool via the terminal tool — it does NOT wrap Hermes inference through the banned google-antigravity OAuth provider, so it carries none of the account-ban risk that motivated removing that provider. Restore the skill, its docs page, the sidebar entry, and the optional-skills catalog row. The google-antigravity / google-gemini-cli inference providers stay fully removed. |

docs: cross-link write-approval gate from skills, configuration, and slash-command docs (#43801)
The memory/skill write-approval gate (#38199, #43354, #43452) was only documented inside features/memory.md. Surface it everywhere users will actually look: - features/skills.md: new 'Gating agent skill writes' section under skill_manage, with the staging semantics, review commands, and the distinction from skills.guard_agent_created - configuration.md: memory.write_approval added to the Memory Configuration block; new 'Write approval for skill writes' subsection next to the guard_agent_created scanner - reference/slash-commands.md: /memory and /skills review subcommands in both the CLI and messaging tables; Notes updated since /skills pending/approve/reject/diff/approval now works on the gateway - features/memory.md: cross-link to the new skills section |

Add Hermes desktop app (#20059)
* feat: better composer etc * docs: add desktop and dashboard run instructions * fix(desktop): address security scan findings * fix(dashboard): resolve @nous-research/ui path under npm workspaces The sync-assets prebuild step shelled out to 'cp -r node_modules/@nous-research/ui/dist/fonts ...' with a path relative to apps/dashboard/. That works only when the dep is installed locally in the dashboard workspace, but 'npm install' at the repo root (the documented setup — see apps/desktop/README.md) hoists shared deps to the root node_modules under npm workspaces. The relative cp then fails with 'No such file or directory', sync-assets exits 1, the Vite build aborts, and 'hermes dashboard' surfaces a generic 'Web UI build failed' message. Replace the shell one-liner with scripts/sync-assets.cjs, which walks up from the dashboard directory looking for node_modules/ @nous-research/ui — working in both the hoisted (workspaces) and co-located (standalone) layouts. Also guards against a missing dist/fonts or dist/assets with a clearer error pointing at a rebuild of the UI package rather than silently copying nothing. * feat(desktop): support connecting to a remote Hermes backend Add HERMES_DESKTOP_REMOTE_URL and HERMES_DESKTOP_REMOTE_TOKEN env vars that, when set, short-circuit the local-child spawn in startHermes() and connect the Electron renderer to an already- running 'hermes dashboard' server reachable over the network. Motivating use case: WSL2 users who want to run the Hermes core (agent loop, tools, filesystem access) inside their WSL distribution while rendering the Electron GUI on native Windows. Before this change, the desktop app always spawned a local Python child on the same host as the renderer, which doesn't cross the WSL/Windows boundary. The remote path reuses waitForHermes() as a liveness probe (/api/status is in the backend's public endpoint allowlist), so the connection is only returned once the backend is actually ready. WebSocket URL derivation picks ws:// or wss:// based on the input scheme. URL validation rejects non-http(s) schemes and requires both env vars together to avoid a half-configured connection that would silently fall through to the spawn path. No behaviour change when the env vars are unset — the default local-spawn flow is untouched. Typical usage: # in WSL2 hermes dashboard --tui --no-open --host 0.0.0.0 --port 9119 --insecure # on Windows set HERMES_DESKTOP_REMOTE_URL=http://localhost:9119 set HERMES_DESKTOP_REMOTE_TOKEN=<session token> set HERMES_DESKTOP_IGNORE_EXISTING=1 (launch Hermes desktop) * ci(desktop): automate desktop releases Add GitHub Actions release channels for signed desktop installers and document the stable/nightly download paths. * feat: file tabs * refactor(desktop): tighten right-rail tab close API Promote closeRightRailTab/closeActiveRightRailTab as the single public entry point. Drops the activeTabRef + handleCloseDocument indirection in ChatPreviewRail, the unused $rightRailHasContent atom, and the legacy dismissFilePreviewTarget alias. -70 LOC. * feat(desktop): polish composer pill toward reference look Solid foreground-on-background send/voice-conversation circle (black-on-white in light, white-on-black in dark) anchors the right edge as the primary CTA instead of the orange theme primary. Bumps the primary control to 2.125rem so it visually outranks the ghost mic/plus controls. Opens up the surface padding (0.625rem x / 0.5rem y) so the input row breathes around its controls, and nudges the corner radius from 20 to 24px for a slightly pill-ier silhouette. LiquidGlass distortion is preserved. * feat(desktop): add startup and onboarding flow Add phase-based desktop boot progress, fresh-install sandbox testing, and first-run provider credential onboarding so packaged installs can start cleanly without manual settings detours. * fix(desktop): gate prompts on provider setup Show the desktop provider onboarding flow before prompt submission when no inference provider is configured, preventing fresh installs from falling through to backend credential errors. * fix(desktop): surface provider onboarding from session warnings Propagate credential warnings through session runtime info and open desktop onboarding whenever a session reports no usable provider, so unconfigured installs cannot fall through to prompt errors. * fix(desktop): route gateway provider errors to onboarding The "No inference provider configured" auth error reaches the renderer through gateway error events, not the prompt.submit promise; the previous patch only caught the latter, so the error toast still surfaced and onboarding never opened. Also strip credential-shaped env vars from the test:desktop:fresh sandbox so the packaged backend can't see provider keys leaking from the launching shell. * fix(desktop): use strict runtime check to drive onboarding setup.status returned True whenever any provider auth state was discoverable, including indirect fallbacks like a gh-CLI Copilot token. That made desktop think the user was set up while the agent's actual resolve_runtime_provider call still raised AuthError, leaving the user with a useless toast and no onboarding. Add a setup.runtime_check gateway method that runs the same resolver the agent uses on session creation, and switch the desktop onboarding overlay and prompt precheck to use it. * feat(desktop): OAuth-first onboarding using existing dashboard provider API Replace the engineer-flavored API key form with a Sign-in-first onboarding overlay that uses the dashboard's existing /api/providers/oauth catalog and PKCE/device-code endpoints (Anthropic, Nous, OpenAI Codex, etc.). API key entry is now a fallback tab with friendly provider names instead of env var prefixes, and the loud raw resolver error is gone in favor of a one-line welcome message. * fix(desktop): polish onboarding provider list Reorder OAuth providers so Nous Portal is first, give the segmented Sign in / API key control equal column widths, and replace the engineer-flavored backend names like "Anthropic (Claude API)" / "MiniMax (OAuth)" with friendlier in-app titles. External-CLI providers now show a softer subtitle and an external-link icon instead of a chevron. * refactor(desktop): split onboarding overlay into store + view Move the OAuth state machine, runtime check, copy-to-clipboard, and api-key save into store/onboarding.ts (matching the boot.ts pattern), leaving the overlay as a presentation layer that subscribes via useStore. Tabs are now table-driven, child panels read flow from the store instead of prop-drilling, and the polling/PKCE/error/success branches share a small Status atom. * fix(desktop): external CLI providers + center mode tabs External-CLI providers (Claude Code, Qwen Code) now open an in-overlay panel with the CLI command, copy button, and an "I've signed in" recheck instead of firing an invisible toast. Center the Sign in / API key tab control so it sits under the heading instead of hugging the left edge. * fix(desktop): drop onboarding tabs for an inline link, group device-code waiting state Replace the Sign in / API key tab pair with an "I have an API key" footer link under the OAuth provider list, with a "Back to sign in" affordance inside the API key form. Group the device-code "Waiting for you to authorize..." status next to the Cancel button so the alignment matches the action. * refactor(desktop): tighten onboarding store + overlay Drop the dead isOnboardingBusy/BUSY set, factor the catch-fallback dance into safeReq, and share a single reloadAndConnect helper between PKCE submit, device-code success, external recheck, and api-key save. In the overlay, extract Step / CodeBlock / FlowFooter / CancelBtn / DocsLink atoms so the four sign-in panels share the same chrome instead of repeating it inline. Net effect: fewer literal divs, one place to touch the spacing, and the code-block + footer rows are reusable across future flows. * fix(desktop): mount onboarding from frame 1 to kill the FOUT Default onboarding.configured to null (unknown until the runtime check resolves) and have the onboarding overlay render whenever it's not yet confirmed true. The boot overlay now yields to it, so the very first paint is the Welcome card with a "While we get you set up..." progress strip instead of a flash of the chat shell between boot dismiss and onboarding mount. The picker swaps in cleanly once the gateway opens and the runtime check confirms the user is not configured. Already-configured users see the same prep card briefly while their existing runtime warms up, then the overlay dismisses without touching the chat shell. * fix(desktop): top-align empty sessions placeholder The "Start a chat to build your history." empty state used a min-h-35 grid place-items-center container, which floated the text in a tall dead zone. Render it as a flat paragraph that sits right under the section header like the empty pinned state does. * refactor(desktop): drop dead boot overlay Onboarding overlay subsumes the boot card now that it mounts from frame 1 and renders boot progress inline. The standalone DesktopBootOverlay is unreachable in every flow (yields whenever onboarding has not confirmed configured, dismisses once it has). * fix(desktop): hide pinned/recents sections until first session A fresh sidebar showed the Pinned and Recent chats headers with floating empty-state copy underneath. Drop both sections (and the now-orphan SidebarEmptySessionState) when there are no sessions yet — they reappear after the first chat. Skeletons during initial load are unchanged. * feat(gui): route embedded TUI through dashboard gateway (#21979) Inject HERMES_TUI_GATEWAY_URL into dashboard PTY sessions so embedded ui-tui instances attach to the in-process websocket gateway, with coverage for the new env wiring. * Add desktop remote gateway settings Make the desktop gateway connection configurable from settings so local remains the default while remote backends can be saved, tested, and applied without environment variables. * feat(gui): first-class Messaging page + gateway menu redesign - Add Messaging page to the desktop app with per-platform setup, status, and inline guidance. Catalog derives from gateway.config Platform enum + plugin registry, so every messaging adapter the CLI supports (Telegram, Discord, Slack, Mattermost, Matrix, WhatsApp, Signal, BlueBubbles, Home Assistant, Email, SMS, DingTalk, Feishu, WeCom, Weixin, QQ, Yuanbao, API server, Webhooks, plugins) shows up without per-platform code. - New REST endpoints: GET /api/messaging/platforms, PUT and POST /test on the same path. Secrets go through the existing .env pipeline; enable/disable writes config.yaml. - Replace gateway statusbar dropdown with a richer panel: status row, icon-only restart + system-panel actions, recent activity (with timestamps trimmed in display, full text on hover), platform list. - Auto-poll the messaging page every 6s (paused when hidden) so status updates without a manual check. - Drop Settings / Command Center from the sidebar nav (still reachable via shortcuts and the titlebar cog). - Flatten top corners on Messaging/Skills/Artifacts/Chat panes. - Share new StatusDot component across messaging + gateway menu. - Fix gateway/config.py so an explicit platforms.<name>.enabled=false in config.yaml is honored when env tokens are present. - pb-9 on the chat content area for breathing room above the composer. * Potential fix for pull request finding 'CodeQL / Clear-text logging of sensitive information' Co-authored-by: Copilot Autofix powered by AI <62310815+github-advanced-security[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> * pin electron version * hide application menu on non-mac systems * interpret compactPreview for non-string vlaues as JSON or an empty string * fix(desktop): keep composer contenteditable mounted across stacked toggle The composer rendered {input} inside two different parent fragments depending on `stacked`. When auto-expand flipped `stacked` (e.g. the moment typed text wrapped past two lines), React reconciled the two branches as different positions and unmounted/remounted the contenteditable. The fresh mount started empty, so any in-flight characters — most reliably reproduced by holding a key — were lost. Replace the conditional with a single CSS Grid whose template-areas swap on `stacked`. The three children (menu, input, controls) keep stable identities across the toggle; only their grid placement changes, which the browser handles without React tearing down the editor. * refactor(desktop): align install layout with install.ps1 / install.sh Make the desktop app's runtime layout match what scripts/install.ps1 and scripts/install.sh produce, so a desktop-only user and a CLI-only user end up with the same files in the same places and can share one install. Layout - ACTIVE_HERMES_ROOT = HERMES_HOME/hermes-agent (was: process.resourcesPath/hermes-agent, read-only) - VENV_ROOT = HERMES_HOME/hermes-agent/venv (was: userData/hermes-runtime) - desktop.log = HERMES_HOME/logs/desktop.log (was: userData/desktop.log) - HERMES_HOME default: %LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes on Windows, ~/.hermes elsewhere The packaged .app/.exe still ships a read-only payload at process.resourcesPath/hermes-agent (FACTORY_HERMES_ROOT). On first launch or after an installer-driven upgrade we sync factory -> active, then provision the venv and run pip install -e . against the active root. Key behaviors - Pin HERMES_HOME in the spawned Python's env so get_hermes_home() resolves to the same path resolveHermesHome() picked. Without this, Python falls back to ~/.hermes on every platform - fine on mac/linux, a split-state bug on Windows where our default is %LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes. - Detect developer installs by .git presence at ACTIVE; never overwrite a user's checkout via factory sync. - Marker at ACTIVE/.hermes-desktop-runtime.json (schema v4) tracks pyproject hash + factory version + runtime schema version. depsFresh fast-paths when nothing changed. - Dev (npm run dev) prefers SOURCE_REPO_ROOT over ACTIVE so devs run their local edits, not whatever's under HERMES_HOME. - Better error messages distinguish "no payload" from "no Python". - Preserve a legacy ~/.hermes on Windows when no %LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes exists, so users with prior pip/manual installs aren't orphaned. pyproject.toml - Promote fastapi, uvicorn[standard], ptyprocess (non-Windows), and pywinpty (Windows) to main dependencies. The dashboard backend (hermes dashboard) needs them at runtime; the previous lazy-import fallback was a footgun for fresh installs. - Empty the [pty] optional-extra; kept as a no-op back-compat alias for any existing pip install hermes-agent[pty] invocations. Drops the hardcoded BUNDLED_RUNTIME_REQUIREMENTS list in main.cjs - the desktop now installs whatever pyproject.toml says, single source of truth. Files - apps/desktop/electron/main.cjs: runtime layout, HERMES_HOME pin, factory->active sync, marker v4 - apps/desktop/scripts/test-desktop.mjs: track new venv location - apps/desktop/README.md: new Setup, Runtime Bootstrap, and Debugging sections - pyproject.toml: fastapi/uvicorn/pty backends in main dependencies; [pty] extra emptied Tested locally on Windows: npm run dev boots cleanly, sessions land at the new location, type-check + lint + test:desktop:platforms all pass. Verified end-to-end on a fresh Win11 VM via dist:win installer. Known gaps (filed as follow-ups, not in this PR): - Skills not seeded on packaged installs (sync_skills only runs in cmd_chat, not cmd_dashboard). Need to move to shared pre-dispatch. - Git Bash not bundled or detected; agent's terminal tool errors out with a useful message but desktop bootstrapper should pre-flight it. - install.ps1 / install.sh should be decomposed into composable phase libraries so the desktop bootstrapper can reuse them as a single source of truth across all install surfaces. * feat(desktop): theme polish, prose chat typography, composer chrome - DS tokens/midground, Backdrop, scoped scrollbars, typography plugin + prose - Composer liquid/radius utilities, thread font parity, tool/thinking cues - File tree label scale, preview flex, thread retry loading + streaming tests * feat(desktop): NSIS prereq detection page + auto-install via winget The packaged Windows installer now detects Python 3.11+ and Git for Windows at install time and offers to install missing prereqs via winget. Mirrors the prereq logic scripts/install.ps1 already runs for CLI installs, so desktop installer users get the same out-of-the-box experience as install.ps1 users. Why - Hermes' terminal tool calls bash.exe directly (tools/environments/ local.py); on Windows that's Git Bash from Git for Windows. Without it, the agent fails on the first terminal() call. - Hermes' Python runtime needs 3.11+. Without it, the desktop bootstrapper errors out at venv creation. - Both gaps surfaced on a fresh Windows 11 VM smoke test: VM had Python pre-installed but no Git, so the agent's first terminal call failed with "Git Bash isn't installed." - install.ps1 has had Install-Git + Install-Uv functions for ages. The desktop installer was the asymmetric outlier. How — NSIS prereq page - New file: apps/desktop/installer/prereq-check.nsh (plugged into electron-builder via build.nsis.include) - Real Wizard page using nsDialogs, inserted via customPageAfterChangeDir hook (between the Directory page and InstFiles). - Group boxes for Python and Git, each showing detection status. - Pre-checked install checkboxes when winget is available. - Auto-skips silently if both prereqs are already installed. - Falls back to manual download URLs when winget itself is missing. - Detection: - Python: probes `py -3.11`/`-3.12`/`-3.13`/`-3.14` via the Python launcher. Microsoft Store "Python stub" (no py.exe) is correctly classified as not-installed. - Git: `where git`. - winget: `where winget` (Win10 1809+ / Win11 with App Installer). - Install execution (in customInstall macro): - Python: nsExec::ExecToLog with `--scope user --silent`. Per-user install, no UAC prompt, output streams to install log. - Git: ExecShellWait via Windows ShellExecute. Critical because Git always installs per-machine and triggers UAC; ShellExecute preserves the foreground focus chain across non-elevated → elevated process spawns, so UAC actually comes to the foreground. nsExec::ExecToLog breaks the chain because winget runs hidden. - Both pass `--disable-interactivity --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements` to suppress winget's own dialogs. - Verification: probes Git's standard install locations via FileExists rather than `where git`. NSIS's process inherits PATH at startup, so a freshly-installed Git won't be visible to `where` until restart. - Silent installs (/S) skip the prompts; managed deploys handle prereqs out-of-band via Group Policy / Intune. How — Electron-side safety net - New findGitBash() in main.cjs, parallel to findSystemPython(). Probes the same locations as tools/environments/local.py:_find_bash() so a positive result here means the agent's terminal tool will work. - ensureRuntime now throws a clear, actionable error on Windows when Git Bash isn't found, matching the existing "Python 3.11+ is required" error path. - Catches users the NSIS page doesn't: .msi installer users (NSIS prereq page doesn't run for MSI), `npm run dev` users, manual installers, anyone who unchecked the install boxes on the NSIS prereq page. - All gated on `IS_WINDOWS`; macOS / Linux unaffected. NSIS build issue (resolved) - electron-builder defaults to `-WX` (warnings as errors). NSIS optimizer emits "warning 6010: function not referenced" for our page functions because Page custom directives don't count as references in its static-analysis pass. The functions ARE called at runtime when NSIS invokes the page; the optimizer just can't see it statically. - Set `build.nsis.warningsAsErrors=false` in package.json so this spurious warning doesn't fail the build. (Documented option from electron-builder's nsisOptions.) Out of scope (filed for future work) - MSI prereq detection: Windows Installer custom actions are a different mechanism. Enterprise deploys typically handle prereqs via GP/Intune. - Bundle PortableGit + python-build-standalone in extraResources for zero-network installs. ~80MB increase. - Mac / Linux GUI prereq flows (different installer formats; Xcode CLT covers most macOS prereqs already; Linux is per-distro hard). Files - apps/desktop/installer/prereq-check.nsh (new, ~290 lines NSIS) - apps/desktop/package.json (build.nsis.include + warningsAsErrors) - apps/desktop/electron/main.cjs (findGitBash + preflight) - apps/desktop/README.md (Runtime prerequisites section) Cross-platform impact - macOS / Linux builds (dist:mac, dist:mac:dmg, dist:mac:zip): nsis config is ignored entirely; .nsh is dormant. - npm run dev: .nsh dormant; main.cjs preflight gated on IS_WINDOWS. - scripts/install.ps1, scripts/install.sh: no reference to any new files; CLI install paths untouched. - Hermes CLI / dashboard / gateway: no reference; runtime untouched. - All checks: node --check on main.cjs and test-desktop.mjs pass; npm run test:desktop:platforms 4/4 passing; node --test green. Tested - npm run dist:win produces signed .exe and .msi without errors. - Fresh Win11 VM (Python pre-installed, no Git): prereq page renders, Python check shows detected, Git checkbox pre-checked. Click Next → Git installs via winget with UAC prompt in foreground. - After install completes, Hermes launches and the agent's terminal tool can run bash commands. Verified Git Bash is detected at `C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe` by ensureRuntime's preflight. * feat: theme changes, composer tweaks, in app update ux, finesse * fix(cli): seed bundled skills on dashboard + gateway entrypoints `sync_skills(quiet=True)` was only being called from inside `cmd_chat`, which meant `hermes dashboard` (the desktop GUI's backend) and `hermes gateway` (Telegram/Discord/Slack/etc daemons) never seeded the bundled skill library into ~/.hermes/skills/. This surfaced as "No skills found" in the desktop GUI's skills panel on fresh installs, despite the agent having access to the full bundled library when invoked via `hermes chat`. scripts/install.ps1 worked around it by running skills_sync.py as part of Copy-ConfigTemplates, but that's not part of the desktop installer's bootstrap chain. Fix - Extract the skills-sync block from cmd_chat into a module-level `_sync_bundled_skills_quietly()` helper. - Call the helper from cmd_chat (preserving existing behavior), cmd_dashboard (after the --status/--stop early-return paths and fastapi import check, so we don't run skills_sync on management commands or when deps aren't installed), and cmd_gateway. Why these three entrypoints - cmd_chat: the user's primary CLI entrypoint - cmd_dashboard: the desktop GUI's backend; this is what `hermes dashboard --tui` invokes when the desktop bootstrapper spawns Hermes - cmd_gateway: long-running daemons where the user expects the agent to have full skill access Other entrypoints (cmd_config, cmd_doctor, cmd_login, cmd_status, etc.) are management commands that don't need skill discovery and were never running skills_sync in the first place — leaving them alone. Idempotence - tools/skills_sync.py is manifest-based: skipped skills cost milliseconds. Calling it from multiple entrypoints adds no real cost, and users running `hermes chat` then `hermes dashboard` get two fast no-ops on the second call. Failure handling - Helper wraps skills_sync in try/except. Skills are an enhancement, not a hard dependency — Hermes runs fine with an empty skills/ dir. Files - hermes_cli/main.py: + new helper `_sync_bundled_skills_quietly()` at module level + cmd_chat: replace inline block with helper call + cmd_dashboard: add helper call after fastapi import succeeds + cmd_gateway: add helper call before delegating to gateway_command * feat(desktop): hoisted todo widget, JSON tool summaries, history grouping & timer fixes - Hoist todo to first-class widget (shadcn checkboxes, brand colors, no tool-accordion). Header derives label from active task; non-active rows fade. - Replace raw JSON dumps with structured key/value summaries via formatToolResultSummary; nested error extraction for clearer failures. - Fix loaded-session grouping: stitch interleaved assistant/tool iterations into one bubble instead of orphaned synthetic messages. - Stable tool/thinking timers via keyed registry so unmount/scroll doesn't reset elapsed counts; gate "running" on real live thread state. - Reorganize chat-only assistant-ui components under components/chat/. * fix(desktop): address CodeQL alerts on PR #20059 - settings/helpers.ts: harden setNested against prototype pollution. POLLUTING_PATH_PARTS check is now applied at every assignment site (loop + leaf) and uses Object.defineProperty so CodeQL can see the guard inline rather than via a helper function call. - lib/markdown-preprocess.ts: rebuild the dangling-fence close regex from a fence-char + length instead of marker.replace(...). The marker is captured by `(`{3,}|~{3,})` so it can only be backticks or tildes, but CodeQL was tracing tainted input text into the RegExp source and flagging hostname dots from input as part of the pattern (false positive js/incomplete-hostname-regexp on the test fixture URLs). Reconstructing from a literal char breaks the dataflow. - scripts/notarize-artifact.cjs: drop args from the run() rejection message. Args carry --key-id / --issuer / key file path; the existing outer catch already squashes errors to a generic line, but CodeQL was flagging the args.join(' ') as clear-text logging of APPLE_API_KEY_ID. Composer DOM-text-as-HTML alerts (composer/index.tsx:379, :547) are already addressed in 4dd9732a9 — innerHTML assignment was replaced with renderComposerContents which builds DOM via replaceChildren / append text nodes (no HTML interpretation). * fix(desktop): inline prototype-pollution guard so CodeQL sees it CodeQL's dataflow doesn't follow the helper-function guard inside `safeSet`, so it kept flagging Object.defineProperty as prototype- polluting. Inline the literal `__proto__`/`constructor`/`prototype` check at the assignment site to break the dataflow. Behavior unchanged — same set of disallowed keys, same throw. * feat(ui-tui): resolve links to readable page titles Mirror desktop pretty-link behavior in the TUI by resolving HTTP links to page titles with shared caching and safe fetch filters, plus slug-based fallbacks so chat links stay readable even when title fetch fails. * fix(desktop): drop RegExp from dangling-fence close detection Previous attempt tried to break the dataflow by reconstructing the close-fence regex from a literal char + marker.length, but CodeQL still traced marker.length back to input and kept flagging the test-fixture URLs as hostname-regex sources (js/incomplete-hostname-regexp). Replace `new RegExp(...)` + `closeRe.test(body)` with a string-only hasCloseFenceLine() helper that splits on '\n' and uses ===. No regex on this path now, so input data can no longer reach a RegExp source. Behavior preserved: matches lines that are (whitespace + marker + whitespace), which is what the original `\n[ \t]*${marker}[ \t]*(?=\n|$)` matched. All 12 markdown-text tests still pass. * fix(process-registry): suppress windows-footgun false positive on guarded killpg Keep the existing POSIX-only process-group teardown path, but make the signal selection explicit via getattr and add an inline windows-footgun suppression marker on the guarded os.killpg line so the Windows footgun check no longer blocks CI on this intentionally platform-gated code. * feat(desktop): reconcile live tool events, polish thread chrome, harden boot - chat-messages: match tool rows by overlapping query/context/preview values so preview-first `tool.progress` rows reliably adopt later stable-id `tool.start` payloads instead of spawning ghost rows or mis-merging parallel same-name calls; preserve prior args/result across phases. - tui_gateway: emit full args + parsed result on `tool.start` / `tool.complete`, drop redundant `tool.started` re-emit from `tool.progress`. - electron/main: prefer SOURCE_REPO_ROOT before PATH `hermes` in dev so local backend edits actually run; split hardening helpers into `electron/hardening.cjs` with tests. - thread/tool UI: one-shot enter animation keyed by stable ids, braille spinner for running rows, Cursor-like disclosure rows, drill-down + duration/count formatting via new tool-fallback-model. - composer: extract `text-utils`, drop liquid-glass overrides. - right-rail: split preview-pane into preview-console / preview-file. - runtime: incremental external-store runtime + runtime-readiness gate; onboarding store + tests; route-resume hook test. - regression tests for live tool reconciliation (parallel tools, id-less progress, preview-first rows, structured args/results). * feat(desktop): add ripgrep to NSIS prereq page + polish layout Add ripgrep as a third (recommended) prereq alongside Python and Git in the NSIS prereq detection page, and clean up the page layout based on on-VM testing. Why ripgrep - Hermes' search_files tool calls `rg` directly for content + filename search (tools/file_operations.py:1382). Falls back to grep/find from Git Bash when missing — works but slower and noisier (no .gitignore awareness). - ~5MB winget install via `BurntSushi.ripgrep.MSVC --scope user` — no UAC prompt, parallel to how Python installs. - scripts/install.ps1 already installs ripgrep as part of Install-SystemPackages; this brings the desktop installer to parity. Why "recommended" not "required" - Python and Git are hard requirements: without them the agent runtime or terminal tool refuses to start. The bootstrapper preflight throws. - ripgrep is a performance enhancement: missing it just means slower searches. Page wording reflects this; failure to install is logged but doesn't show a MessageBox or block. Layout polish (response to on-VM screenshot review) - Wizard header now correctly reads "System Requirements" instead of the leftover "Choose Install Location" from the previous page. Set via `GetDlgItem $HWNDPARENT 1037/1038` + WM_SETTEXT — the standard NSIS pattern for overriding the page header on a custom Page. - Removed redundant in-body title + verbose intro paragraph; the wizard header IS the title now. Body has one short intro line. - Group boxes tightened to 26u with content positioned just below the groupbox title (not top-anchored status + bottom-anchored checkbox with empty space in the middle). All three panels + footer fit comfortably in 126u, well under the 140u page limit. - Checkbox labels simplified: dropped "(per-user, no admin prompt)" and "(administrator approval required)" suffixes. The footer note still calls out UAC for Git when relevant. - Footer text trimmed to fit cleanly without clipping. Install order (in customInstall macro) - Python → ripgrep → Git - Python and ripgrep are silent and run first; Git's UAC prompt comes last so the user's approval interaction isn't interrupted by silent activity afterwards. Skip behavior unchanged - All three detected → page auto-skips via Abort - Silent install (/S) → customInstall winget block skips - User unchecks all → page advances without running winget Files - apps/desktop/installer/prereq-check.nsh: ripgrep detection block, ripgrep page panel + checkbox, ripgrep customInstall block, GetDlgItem header override, layout reflow - apps/desktop/README.md: Runtime prerequisites section updated to list ripgrep as recommended, with manual winget command * feat(desktop): add model-confirmation step to onboarding After OAuth/API-key login completes, onboarding now shows a confirmation card with the curated default model and a Change button before dropping the user into chat. Closes the gap where the desktop's `model.default` was empty after first launch and the agent had to fall back to whatever heuristic happened to fire — leaving users wondering "why am I getting sonnet-4 when I logged into Nous Portal?" Why - Desktop onboarding only persisted credentials, never `model.default`. The CLI's `hermes model` command pairs provider + model selection, but the desktop's onboarding skipped the model step entirely. - Result: users saw whichever model the agent's auto-fallback picked, unpredictably and undocumented. - For the BUILD demo we want users to land on the model they expect for their provider, with a clear "this is what you're getting" UI and a one-click path to change it before chatting. How - New `confirming_model` flow status carries the just-authenticated provider slug, current default model, label, and a saving flag. - `completeWithModelConfirm()` runs after credentials succeed: reloads env, verifies runtime, fetches /api/model/options to find the curated first-model for the provider, persists it via /api/model/set, then transitions into `confirming_model`. - If anything fails (no providers returned, network error), falls through to the previous behaviour — onboarding completes without the confirm step. Polish, not a hard requirement. - All four credential paths (device_code OAuth, PKCE OAuth, external CLI flow, API key) now use completeWithModelConfirm instead of reloadAndConnect. UI - `ConfirmingModelPanel` shows: green "<provider> connected" banner, card with "Default model: <name>" + Change button, and a "Start chatting" CTA that finalises onboarding. - Reuses the existing `ModelPickerDialog` (the same picker available from the chat shell) for the change-model UX. Search, filtering, multi-provider listing — all already built. - Stacking: ModelPickerDialog defaults to z-130, which renders UNDER the onboarding overlay (z-1300) and breaks pointer events. Added optional `contentClassName` prop to ModelPickerDialog so callers can override; onboarding passes `z-[1310]`. Provider-slug matching - For OAuth flows: pass `provider.id` directly as the preferred slug. - For API-key flows: `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` → "openrouter" via env-key prefix strip. Also includes the user-visible label as a fallback candidate. - fetchProviderDefaultModel falls back to the first authenticated provider in the response if no preferred slug matches — so even a miss still surfaces a reasonable default. Files - apps/desktop/src/store/onboarding.ts: + new `confirming_model` flow variant + fetchProviderDefaultModel + completeWithModelConfirm helpers + setOnboardingModel (optimistic update + revert on failure) + confirmOnboardingModel (finalises onboarding from the card) - reloadAndConnect (replaced; the four call sites now go through completeWithModelConfirm) - apps/desktop/src/components/desktop-onboarding-overlay.tsx: + ConfirmingModelPanel component + new branch in FlowPanel for status `confirming_model` + ModelPickerDialog usage with z-[1310] content class - apps/desktop/src/components/model-picker.tsx: + optional `contentClassName` prop on ModelPickerDialog so the dialog can be stacked on top of other fixed overlays Tested - `npm run type-check` passes - `npx eslint` clean on touched files - Live test in `npm run dev`: cleared onboarding cache, walked through Nous device-code flow, saw confirm card with curated default, clicked Change → ModelPickerDialog rendered above the onboarding overlay with working pointer events, picked a different model, "Start chatting" persisted to ~/.hermes/config.yaml. * fix(desktop): suppress generic provider warning in onboarding Hide the red setup notice when the message is the generic missing-provider guidance, since onboarding already presents provider auth actions. Centralize provider-setup matching across desktop hooks and add coverage for the matcher. * fix(desktop): add 2u clearance below prereq checkboxes Group box bottom border was clipping the checkboxes by 1-2px. Bumped each box height 26u→30u; checkboxes now sit 2u above the bottom border. * fix(nix): refresh dashboard lockfile hash Update the web npm deps hash in nix/web.nix to match the committed apps/dashboard/package-lock.json so bb/gui passes the nix lockfile check. * fix(desktop): install TUI deps in release workflow Ensure desktop release builds install the standalone ui-tui package before bundling the TUI payload. * fix(desktop): run release builder from app package Invoke the desktop builder through the package script so electron-builder uses apps/desktop/package.json. * fix(desktop): expand release artifact names safely Build desktop artifact names from workflow version/channel while preserving electron-builder platform macros. * fix(desktop): use package artifact naming in release workflow Let electron-builder's desktop package config provide platform-specific artifact extensions while the workflow injects the release version/channel metadata. * fix(nix): fetch dashboard npm deps from package root Point the dashboard npm dependency fetch at apps/dashboard so Nix can find the package lockfile after the dashboard move. * fix(nix): build dashboard from package directory Set the web package source root to apps/dashboard so npm patch/build phases run beside the dashboard lockfile while keeping apps/shared available as a sibling. * feat(desktop): render LaTeX math via KaTeX after streaming completes Add @streamdown/math plugin to the chat markdown renderer. Inline ($x^2$) and block ($$...$$) math both supported with singleDollarTextMath enabled. Plugin is gated to non-streaming state to match the existing pattern for syntax highlighting — math renders when the message completes, avoiding KaTeX re-render churn during streaming. KaTeX CSS is imported in styles.css; ~30KB CSS + ~430KB JS added to the bundle. Smoothness improvements during streaming deferred to a follow-up. * perf(desktop): memoize KaTeX renders so math streams without re-rendering Wrap rehype-katex with a per-equation LRU cache (keyed by displayMode + source text) and re-enable math during streaming. Stock @streamdown/math runs rehype-katex on every markdown commit, so each new token re-katexes every equation in the message. For math-heavy responses (an equation derived step-by-step) that's hundreds of ms of wasted work per token and the streaming UI chokes. With memoization, each equation pays katex.renderToString exactly once; subsequent tokens re-walk the tree but hit cache for unchanged equations. The wrapper mirrors rehype-katex's semantics exactly: same class detection (language-math, math-inline, math-display), same <pre>-walk-up for fenced math blocks, same parent.children.splice replacement, same SKIP traversal, same strict-then-lenient render strategy with VFile message reporting. Cached children are structuredCloned on each splice so downstream rehype plugins or toJsxRuntime can't mutate the cache. * fix(desktop): declare katex-memo deps directly + drop per-app lockfile katex-memo.ts (added in 112cad59b) imports hast-util-from-html-isomorphic, hast-util-to-text, remark-math, katex, and unist-util-visit-parents but those were never added to apps/desktop/package.json. They were silently resolving via @streamdown/math at the workspace root, which broke the moment `npm i --prefix apps/desktop` ran with the per-workspace lockfile because that install only consults apps/desktop/package.json. Add them as direct deps, plus unified/vfile/@types/hast for the type imports. Also delete apps/desktop/package-lock.json — root package.json declares workspaces: ["apps/*"], so npm manages all lockfile state at the root. The stale per-app lockfile is what made `npm i --prefix apps/desktop` diverge from the workspace install in the first place and left an empty apps/desktop/node_modules/@assistant-ui/ stub that Vite's dep optimizer then tried (and failed) to open at @assistant-ui/core/dist/internal.js. * feat(desktop): disable Backdrop noise overlay by default The noise overlay defaulted to on, which adds a busy speckle layer over the whole window for every new user. Flip the Leva default to off; the toggle stays in Backdrop / Noise for anyone who wants it back. * fix(desktop): polish LaTeX rendering — currency, code blocks, brackets Five distinct bugs surfaced from a math-heavy stress test: 1. Adjacent code fences glued together. scrubBacktickNoise's second-pass regex /``\s*``/g matched the LAST 2 backticks of one fence + whitespace + FIRST 2 backticks of the next, collapsing two blocks into one. Fixed with lookbehind/lookahead so we only match exactly 2 backticks not part of a longer run. 2. Whitespace eaten between fences and following content. stripPreviewTargets internally calls .trim() which strips leading/ trailing whitespace from each split-segment. For segments between two fences this collapsed \n\n to '', gluing fence close to next block. Fixed by capturing leading/trailing whitespace at the call site and restoring it after the transform. 3. Currency dollar signs eaten as math. With singleDollarTextMath:true remark-math greedy-matched any pair of $, so '$5 ... $10' became one inline math span. Added escapeCurrencyDollars to escape $<digit> patterns to \$<digit> in prose segments (not in code). Trade-off: math expressions starting with a digit (rare — '$5x = 10$') get escaped too. Mirrors the convention in ChatGPT/Claude's UIs. 4. \(...\) and \[...\] LaTeX brackets unsupported. Models often emit these instead of $...$ / $$...$$. Added rewriteLatexBracketDelimiters preprocessor pass. 5. ```latex / ```tex blocks were being routed to KaTeX via a rewrite to ```math. Aligns with GitHub markdown convention: ```math = render as math; ```latex / ```tex = LaTeX/TeX source code (syntax highlighted, not rendered). Conflating them broke teaching/showing-source use cases. MATH_FENCE_LANGUAGES pruned to {'math'} only. Also flipped parseIncompleteMarkdown to true (was !isStreaming) so the math parser can't see $ inside streaming-but-not-yet-closed code fences. Shiki was already deferred via defer={isStreaming} so this doesn't introduce new tokenization cost. Test: 18/18 existing tests still pass; one test updated to expect escaped \$ in currency-prose-with-URL case. * fix(desktop): detect Python via registry/filesystem; pin to 3.11–3.13 Two related fixes for Python detection on Windows: 1. py.exe (Python launcher) is missing from per-user installs that didn't check the launcher option, so 'py -3.X --version' alone misses real Python installs. User-reported case: clean Win11 + official Python.org 3.14 install -> 'where py' returned nothing, our installer offered to install Python again. Both NSIS prereq page and main.cjs now probe in this order: 1. py.exe launcher (when present) 2. PEP 514 registry: HKLM/HKCU\SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore\<v>\InstallPath 3. Filesystem: %ProgramFiles%\Python<v>, %LocalAppData%\Programs\Python\Python<v> Crucially, we never fall back to running 'python.exe' from PATH on Windows — the WindowsApps stub at %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\ WindowsApps\python.exe is a redirector that opens the Microsoft Store window if no Store Python is installed. Triggering that during boot would be terrible UX. Registry/filesystem probes never execute the binary. 2. Drop 3.14 from the supported version set. Several Hermes deps (notably pywinpty, which carries Rust crates like windows_x86_64_msvc) don't yet publish 3.14 wheels. With wheels missing, 'pip install -e .' falls back to building from sdist, which needs a Rust toolchain — users see 'could not compile windows_x86_64_msvc build script' on first run. install.ps1 sidesteps this by pinning to 3.11 via uv; the desktop installer doesn't yet have the same uv-managed-Python pathway, so for now we accept 3.11/3.12/3.13 and tell winget to install 3.11 if none of those are present. Revisit when the wheel ecosystem catches up to 3.14 (~early 2026). * feat(desktop): Cron, Profiles, usage analytics, and titlebar fixes - Add Cron and Profiles sidebar routes with full CRUD-style flows and API wiring. - Extend Command Center with auxiliary task overrides and a Usage panel (7d/30d/90d). - Fix titlebar geometry for WSL/Windows (native overlay width, tool spacing). - Remove stray merge conflict markers from pyproject.toml optional deps. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com> * fix(title-bar): position sidebar toggle button * feat(desktop): composer queue — queue many, edit/delete/cancel-edit, Cursor-style Press Enter while busy with a draft to queue it; with no draft to interrupt and send the next queued turn. Auto-drains one queued turn each time the session settles, same as Cursor. Queue persists across reloads so an interrupted-and-queued turn isn't lost on refresh. Each queued row supports edit-in-composer (with explicit Save/Cancel), send-now (↑), and delete. Drain skips only the entry currently being edited so the rest of the queue keeps flowing. Queue dequeue is transactional — an entry only leaves the queue after `prompt.submit` is accepted, so a rejected submit doesn't drop the turn. Also shrinks the `[interrupted]` marker to a muted one-liner and drops its assistant footer so it stops looking like a real reply. * fix(desktop): handle empty usage analytics totals Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com> * fix(desktop): address PR review titlebar and usage races Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com> * feat(desktop): add MCP settings and live subagent tree Surface configured MCP servers in Settings with JSON edit/save and a gateway-backed reload action so users can manage tool servers without falling back to slash commands. Track live subagent gateway events in a desktop store, show active subagent counts in the Agents statusbar item, and replace the Agents overlay stub with a live spawn tree for the active session. * fix(desktop): move power-user views out of sidebar Keep Cron and Profiles available through lower-prominence chrome entry points so the workspace sidebar stays focused on core chat navigation. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com> * refactor(desktop): subagent overlay reads like a live transcript, not a dashboard Strip the card chrome and rewire /agents to feel like peeking into the child agent's stream: - subagents store: single `stream` of typed entries (thinking/tool/progress/ summary) replaces the parallel notes/thinking/tools arrays. Drop unused fields (toolsets, depth, apiCalls, reasoningTokens, sessionId). - agents view: no OverlayCards, no boxed stream, no per-row borders. Goal + status pill + indented stream lines, full row width. - Group root spawns into "Delegation N" sections when batch shape + spawn time match — hides task-index interleaving and makes hierarchy obvious. - Sort tree by spawn time, then task_index. Step indicator is one colored pill (primary while running, emerald when done) inside the row, not a trailing pill that wrapped under the chevron. - Tree picks up `subagent.start` (not only `spawn_requested`) and prunes delegate-tool fallback rows once native subagent events land for the session — fixes duplicate "Delegated task" rows alongside the real ones. * feat(desktop): Esc closes every OverlayView-based overlay Lift the keyboard handler into the shared OverlayView so Agents, Settings, Command Center — and anything we build on top of it later — all dismiss on Esc by default. Nested Radix dialogs stop propagation themselves, so a modal opened inside an overlay (e.g. model picker inside Settings) still closes the modal first, not the overlay underneath. Drop the now-redundant Esc handlers in Settings (kept Cmd/Ctrl+P) and Command Center. * fix(desktop): drop numbered step pill on subagent rows The pill was getting clipped at the overlay edge anyway. Just use the status glyph (●/✓/✗/■/○) — the delegation header already conveys "3 workers, 3 active", and order in the list implies which step you're looking at. * fix(desktop): drop noisy "returned N items / empty object" stub strings When a tool returns nothing useful, the row should be silent — the title ("Search Files", etc.) already tells the user what happened. Counting the fields in an opaque payload is engineer-noise. `formatToolResultSummary` and `minimalValueSummary` now return '' for empty arrays / records / unrecognized values; tool-fallback already hides the detail section when its body is empty. * refactor(desktop): subagent rows borrow chat tool patterns (fade-in, lucide glyphs, shimmer) Pull the agents view closer to how chat tool blocks render: - statusGlyph() returns the same lucide BrailleSpinner / CheckCircle2 / AlertCircle vocabulary as tool-fallback's statusGlyph - Stream lines fade-in via useEnterAnimation (one-shot WAAPI), keyed per entry so streamed deltas settle in instead of popping - Subagent rows fade in too, and pick up the existing data-slot=tool-block spacing rules between blocks - Active stream line trails a BrailleSpinner instead of a hand-rolled pulsing rectangle - Goal text drops FadeText (which forces nowrap); keep FadeText only for the single-line meta subtitle - Running rows shimmer the title — same affordance the chat thinking row uses * refactor(desktop): make /agents subagent-only, drop sidebar + dead sections Activity rail and History stub were both noise. Strip the split layout, sidebar, route enum, and the rail/stub helpers — the overlay is now just the spawn tree, centered in a max-w-3xl column so it stops claiming the whole screen for one section's worth of content. * feat: update cron modals * Add dedicated GUI log stream for dashboard debugging. Capture dashboard and PTY websocket lifecycle failures in gui.log and expose it via hermes logs. * Improve desktop runtime UX by surfacing inference readiness in gateway status and hardening WSL link opening. This also stabilizes markdown code/table block spacing and adds root-install guards so desktop dev runs use a healthy workspace dependency tree. * Log detailed GUI websocket failure metadata. Capture richer reject/disconnect/send/parse context for dashboard gateway websocket flows so GUI connection failures are diagnosable from logs. * Default dashboard startup logging to GUI mode. Detect the dashboard subcommand during early CLI bootstrap so gui.log is attached from process start and GUI startup failures are always captured. * Clean up gateway status conditionals and logging bootstrap mode detection. Simplify nested dashboard gateway status branches for readability and use a concise first-subcommand check when selecting early GUI logging mode. * add logging to nsis installer * feat: glass ui pass * fix(desktop): persist inline assistant errors across hydrate/resume - Detect provider failure text arriving via message.complete (HTTP 4xx, "API call failed after N retries", Provider/Gateway error: ...) and persist as an inline assistant error instead of regular completion text, blocking the hydrate that was wiping it. - preserveLocalAssistantErrors: merge by id so same-id hydrated messages keep their local error, and preserve the optimistic user+error pair as a unit (with tail-user dedupe). - Hook all hydrate/resume writers (use-session-actions resume + fallback, hydrateFromStoredSession, syncSessionStateToView) into the merge so stale snapshots can't clobber a failed turn. - Add error to chatMessagesEquivalent so the resume diff actually sees error-only changes and paints them. - editMessage on a failed turn now submits a plain resend (no truncate_before_user_ordinal) and retries plainly on the "no longer in session history" race. Style polish on touched files: - Inline error: text-only treatment (no card). - User stop / edit-composer send: shared Tabler IconPlayerStopFilled glyph + shared icon-button class slot for parity. * feat(desktop): theme xterm with active light/dark mode The right-sidebar terminal hardcoded a light palette, which read poorly on the dark glass surface. Subscribe to `useTheme().resolvedMode` and hot-swap `term.options.theme` so Shift+X (and any other mode change) updates the terminal in place without tearing down the PTY session. Dark mode uses xterm's built-in defaults (white fg/cursor + vivid ANSI 16) with just a transparent background so the glass shows through; light mode keeps the existing hand-tuned overrides for legibility on a bright surface. * feat(sidebar): right-click + drag-reorder sessions and workspaces - Wire right-click on session rows to open the same actions menu; suppresses the OS-native context menu so Windows stops looking awful. - Share dropdown + context menu items via useSessionActions() driving a single declarative ItemSpec[]; render polymorphic over MenuItem. - New shadcn ContextMenu primitive mirroring DropdownMenu styling. - Restore drag-and-drop reordering for Agents (lost during the cwd cleanup) and add reordering of workspace groups via a right-side grab handle. Pinned reorder unchanged. - Generic orderByIds<T> replaces the duplicated session/group orderers; useSortableBindings() hook collapses the two Sortable wrappers. - cursor-pointer on every actionable element; cursor-grab on handles. - KISS pass: baseName() helper, AGE_TICKS table, single WORKSPACE_PAGE constant, flatter SidebarSessionsSection render. * feat(desktop): solarize the xterm palette in both light & dark xterm's default ANSI 16 is tuned for dark and reads candy-bright on the light glass surface (vivid cyans/greens). Ship the canonical Solarized palette (Schoonover) for both modes — same 16 accents either way, only fg/cursor swap between `base00/01` (light) and `base0/1` (dark), so a prompt's colors look uniform across a Shift+X toggle. Background stays transparent in both modes — Solarized's cream/slate backgrounds would fight the glass. * feat(desktop): virtualize chat thread + sidebar via TanStack Virtual Replaces `use-stick-to-bottom` and per-row session rendering with `@tanstack/react-virtual`, matching what Cursor uses. Chat thread (`thread-virtualizer.tsx`): - Natural-flow virtualization (padding spacers, not absolute items) so `position: sticky` on the human bubble still resolves cleanly against the scroller. - Custom at-bottom anchor: pins when armed, disarms on user-driven upward scroll, re-arms at bottom, jumps on session switch + `thread.runStart`. - Loading indicator and `--thread-last-message-clearance` move to a real `[data-slot=aui_composer-clearance]` node; drops the brittle `:nth-last-child(1 of …)` rule that can't fire reliably under virtualization. Sidebar (`virtual-session-list.tsx`): - Flat agents list virtualizes at >=25 rows; pinned and workspace-grouped paths stay direct-render. - `SortableContext` keeps all IDs; only the window mounts; dnd-kit's `setNodeRef` is merged with `virtualizer.measureElement` so rows participate in both DnD hit-testing and TanStack measurement. Drops `use-stick-to-bottom`. Streaming test gets a global `offsetWidth/offsetHeight` stub so the virtualizer's viewport sizing works in jsdom; the scroll-up-doesn't-pull-back invariant still passes. * feat: more ui qa * fix(desktop): trim sidebar terminal startup spacer Drop zsh's initial spacer row before writing the first terminal prompt so new sidebar terminal sessions do not open with a selectable blank line. * chore: uptick * feat(desktop): thin installer + first-launch install.ps1 bootstrap Converges the Windows packaged desktop installer onto a single canonical install topology: drop the Electron shell only (~80MB instead of ~500MB), clone Hermes Agent at a build-time-pinned commit on first launch via install.ps1's stage protocol, and treat the resulting git checkout at %LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes\hermes-agent\ as the canonical install location (same path the CLI installer uses). Future updates flow through the existing applyUpdates() git-pull path. Replaces the previous fat-installer architecture where the .exe bundled a pre-staged hermes-agent source tree under resources/hermes-agent/ that was then sync'd into ACTIVE_HERMES_ROOT at launch -- a complicated factory-vs-active dance with several footguns (FACTORY_HERMES_ROOT mismatch on path resolve, isGitCheckout guard regressions, pyproject hash drift detection inside the sync loop). Architecture overview --------------------- Build time apps/desktop/scripts/write-build-stamp.cjs writes apps/desktop/build/install-stamp.json with {commit, branch, builtAt, dirty}. Honours $GITHUB_SHA / $GITHUB_REF_NAME in CI, falls back to `git rev-parse HEAD` locally. apps/desktop/scripts/stage-native-deps.cjs copies the runtime subset of @homebridge/node-pty-prebuilt-multiarch from the workspace-root node_modules into apps/desktop/build/native-deps/. Workspace dedup hoists this dep to the root, out of reach of electron-builder's `files:`-restricted collector; staging gives us a deterministic path to extraResources. electron-builder ships both into resources/install-stamp.json and resources/native-deps/ respectively. Boot resolver (electron/main.cjs) Resolver order: 1. HERMES_DESKTOP_HERMES_ROOT override 2. SOURCE_REPO_ROOT (dev mode) 3. ACTIVE_HERMES_ROOT git checkout WITH .hermes-bootstrap-complete marker -- the post-install fast path 4. `hermes` on PATH (CLI-installed user adding the desktop) 5. pip-installed hermes_cli via system Python 6. bootstrap-needed sentinel -> hand off to runBootstrap Deletes the entire FACTORY_HERMES_ROOT / RUNTIME_MARKER / syncTreeExcludingVenv machinery (-200 lines). The isGitCheckout guard that bit us in the install.ps1 PR is gone. First-launch bootstrap (electron/bootstrap-runner.cjs) 1. Resolve install.ps1: prefer SOURCE_REPO_ROOT/scripts (dev), else download from GitHub raw at INSTALL_STAMP.commit (cached at HERMES_HOME\bootstrap-cache\install-<sha>.ps1). 2. Fetch the stage manifest via install.ps1 -Manifest -Commit X -Branch Y. 3. Iterate stages: install.ps1 -Stage <name> -NonInteractive -Json -Commit X -Branch Y per stage. 4. On all stages green: write the .hermes-bootstrap-complete marker with {schemaVersion, pinnedCommit, pinnedBranch, completedAt, desktopVersion}. Per-run log to HERMES_HOME\logs\bootstrap-<ts>.log. Cancellation via AbortSignal. Manifest cache so retries don't re-download. Install overlay (src/components/desktop-install-overlay.tsx) Mounted alongside the existing onboarding overlay; flexbox card with header (static) + middle (scrollable) + footer (failure-only, static). Subscribes to hermes:bootstrap:event IPC + resyncs from hermes:bootstrap:get on mount/reload. Renders: - 14-stage checklist with per-stage state icons - Overall progress bar + current-stage spotlight - Auto-expanded installer-output panel on failure - "Copy output" button (full ring buffer + error to clipboard) - "Reload and retry" wired through hermes:bootstrap:reset to clear main.cjs's latched failure Synthetic empty-manifest event from main.cjs flips the overlay to 'active' immediately so the slow install.ps1 download doesn't leave the user staring at the generic Preparing splash. Failure latching (main.cjs) bootstrapFailure module-scope variable holds the rejection after install.ps1 fails. startHermes() throws the latched error immediately when set, bypassing the entire ensureRuntime + runBootstrap chain. Without this, the renderer's ensureGatewayOpen retries would re-run install.ps1 in a 5-10 min hot loop while the user was still reading the failure overlay. Cleared via hermes:bootstrap:reset on user-driven retry. Unsupported-platform overlay (1F) macOS / Linux packaged builds (no install.sh stage protocol yet) emit an unsupported-platform event with a copy-pasteable install command + docs URL. Dedicated overlay branch with "Copy command" + "I've run it -- retry" buttons. install.ps1 additions (Phase 1F.3 + 1F.5) ----------------------------------------- New -Commit and -Tag string params. Precedence Commit > Tag > Branch. Honoured by all three code paths (update / fresh clone / ZIP fallback), with archive URL selection that handles each ref-type variant. Detached-HEAD checkouts intentionally -- they're pins, not branches the user pulls into. EAP=Continue wrap around the new pin-step git invocations. `git fetch origin <commit>` writes the routine 'From <url>' info line to stderr; under the script's global EAP=Stop that terminates the script even though fetch+checkout succeed. Matches the established pattern in Install-Uv, Test-Python, _Run-NpmInstall. Backend fix (hermes_cli/web_server.py) -------------------------------------- CORS allow_origin_regex now accepts Origin: 'null'. Packaged Electron loads index.html via file://; Chromium sets the WebSocket upgrade Origin header to the opaque origin 'null', which the old regex rejected with HTTP 403 before gateway_ws() ever ran. This failure mode was masked in the older FACTORY_HERMES_ROOT architecture because the resolver often found an existing hermes on PATH with different binding behavior. Security maintained: localhost-only bind keeps cross-machine pages out; per-process session token still gates every authenticated /api/ endpoint regardless of Origin. Desktop QoL ----------- DevTools is now enabled in packaged builds (F12 / Cmd+Opt+I). Field-debugging trade-off: tiny attack surface increase versus a much better support story when CSP / WS / theme issues surface. NSIS prereq-check page deleted (-767 lines). The standard Welcome -> License -> Directory -> InstallFiles -> Finish wizard now installs without custom Python/Git/ripgrep detection -- those prereqs are install.ps1's job at first launch. Test infrastructure (Phase 1G) ------------------------------ apps/desktop/scripts/test-desktop.mjs rewritten as a cross-platform bundle validator (was darwin-only and asserted on dead factory- payload paths): NEGATIVE: hermes_cli/main.py is NOT shipped (regression guard) POSITIVE: install-stamp.json carries a real commit + branch POSITIVE: node-pty native deps shipped under resources/native-deps POSITIVE: renderer dist/index.html reachable (asar or unpacked) New nsis mode and npm run test:desktop:nsis script. Validated end-to-end on clean Win10 VM -------------------------------------- Confirmed: NSIS installer drops Electron shell, app launches, install overlay shows progress, install.ps1 clones the pinned commit, 14 stages run to completion, marker written, backend spawns, WebSocket connects, onboarding overlay asks for API key, main UI loads, integrated terminal works. Failures handled: bootstrap stays failed (no hot-loop retry), "Copy output" gives actionable transcript, "Reload and retry" explicitly re-runs install.ps1. What's deferred --------------- - MSIX wrapping (Phase 2): same Electron .exe under MSIX manifest with runFullTrust, signed and submitted to Microsoft Store. - install.sh stage protocol parity (Phase 2): once shipped, the unsupported-platform overlay becomes drive-it-yourself and macOS/Linux packaged installers gain feature parity with Windows. * feat(desktop): persistent terminal pane + fullscreen takeover Adds a VSCode-style "focus terminal" toggle to the right sidebar's Terminal tab that takes over the chat pane area without unmounting the shell. The xterm host is mounted once at the layout root and CSS-overlayed onto whichever <TerminalSlot /> is currently active, so the PTY session, scrollback, selection, focus, and WebGL renderer survive every toggle. Also: - WebGL renderer (matching dashboard ChatPage) so Hermes' TUI skins paint faithfully instead of muting through xterm's default DOM renderer - File drag/drop from the project tree or OS into xterm — paths are shell-quoted (zsh/bash/pwsh/cmd) and written straight into the PTY - Solarized dark canvas with brights promoted to real accent variants (Schoonover's UI-gray brights washed out every TUI accent) - Strip NO_COLOR/FORCE_COLOR/COLORFGBG/TERM=dumb leaking from non-tty parents (CI runners, Cursor's agent shell) so the embedded shell gets truecolor regardless of how Electron was launched - rAF-debounced ResizeObserver — running fit.fit() synchronously during sibling pane transitions crashed the WebGL texture-atlas rebuild * fix(install.ps1): strip UTF-8 BOM regression that broke 'irm | iex' The canonical install flow irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/.../scripts/install.ps1 | iex fails on PowerShell 5.1 with a cascade of 'The assignment expression is not valid' errors at every param() default value: [string]$Branch = 'main', ~~~~~~ The assignment expression is not valid. The input to an assignment operator must be an object that is able to accept assignments... Root cause: scripts/install.ps1 carries a UTF-8 BOM (0xEF 0xBB 0xBF) as its first three bytes. 'irm' returns the response body as a string; on PS 5.1 the BOM survives into that string as a leading \ufeff character. 'iex' then evaluates the string and PS's parser chokes on the invisible character before param() -- error recovery proceeds into the body but every assignment is reported as broken. This was the exact failure mode the install.ps1 hardening pass (PR #27224) deliberately fixed by stripping the BOM and ensuring the file body is pure ASCII. Commit |

Inspired by Claude Code: /compress here [N] — boundary-aware 'summarize up to here' (#35048)
Adds a user-chosen compression boundary to the existing /compress command. /compress here [N] summarizes everything except the most recent N exchanges (default 2), which are preserved verbatim — letting the user pick the compression boundary instead of relying on the automatic token-budget heuristic. Inspired by Claude Code's Rewind 'Summarize up to here' action (v2.1.139, Week 20, May 2026): https://code.claude.com/docs/en/whats-new/2026-w20 - hermes_cli/partial_compress.py: pure split/parse helpers + seam-alternation guard (shared by CLI and gateway). - cli.py / gateway/run.py: route 'here [N]' / '--keep N' to partial compression; compress only the head, re-append the verbatim tail through the seam guard. - Preserves message-flow role alternation (seam guard merges any illegal user->user / assistant->assistant adjacency). - Reuses the existing _compress_context session-rotation/lock machinery — no changes to the compression core. - Bare /compress (full) and /compress <focus> behavior unchanged. Tests: 12 helper unit tests + 5 CLI integration tests + E2E (interleaved tool-call transcript, degenerate/multimodal seams, real handler path). |

fix(website): cross-locale doc links + drop empty ko locale (#31895)
The locale switcher appeared broken because hardcoded markdown links (`](/docs/X)`) got double-prefixed by Docusaurus to `/docs/<locale>/docs/X` (404) in non-English locales, and the MDX hero `<a href>` on the index page escaped locale routing entirely. Changes: - Rewrite 922 `](/docs/X)` -> `](/X)` across 166 docs files (strip trailing .md too). Docusaurus prepends locale + baseUrl itself. - docs/index.md -> index.mdx; hero "Get Started" anchor -> Docusaurus <Link> so it stays inside the active locale. - Drop `ko` locale entirely from docusaurus.config.ts + delete i18n/ko/ (4 stale auto-translated kanban pages, <2% coverage, misleading). Verified `npm run build` succeeds for both en and zh-Hans; `build/zh-Hans/ index.html` has no /docs/zh-Hans/docs/... double-prefixed paths. PR2 will translate the 335 English docs into i18n/zh-Hans/. |

fix(cli): add inline --yes/now skip for destructive slash commands (#30768)
Issue #30768 reports that on native Windows PowerShell the destructive-slash confirmation modal renders but never registers keypresses, leaving the user unable to confirm or cancel /reset, /new, /clear, or /undo. The modal works on macOS, Linux, and WSL; PR #23907 (merged May 11) replaced the daemon-thread input() pattern with a prompt_toolkit-native keybinding modal but the win32 input pipeline apparently doesn't dispatch keys to the filter-conditioned handlers. The modal investigation is ongoing. This change ships the immediate escape hatch: append `now`, `--yes`, or `-y` to any destructive slash command to bypass the modal and run the action immediately. Works on every platform without touching the broken Windows code path. /reset now -> reset, no modal /new --yes my-session -> new session titled "my-session", no modal /clear -y -> clear, no modal /undo -y -> undo, no modal The default behavior (modal prompts when approvals.destructive_slash_confirm is True) is unchanged for users who don't pass a skip token. Implementation: - New classmethod HermesCLI._split_destructive_skip(text) -> (remainder, skip) parses a destructive-slash command string, strips the leading "/cmd" word and any recognized skip tokens (case-insensitive exact match, not substring), and reports whether a skip was requested. - HermesCLI._confirm_destructive_slash gains an optional cmd_original= arg. When the arg contains a skip token, it returns "once" immediately — before the gate check and before any modal rendering. - The /clear, /new, /undo handlers in process_command pass cmd_original through. /new additionally uses _split_destructive_skip to strip skip tokens from the remaining text before deriving the session title, so "/new now My Session" yields title="My Session" (not "now My Session"). Tests: - 7 new unit tests in tests/cli/test_destructive_slash_confirm.py covering the helper (recognized tokens, command-word stripping, case-insensitive exact match, None/empty input) and the modal bypass (now and --yes both skip; no-skip-token still consults the modal). - 3 new integration tests in tests/cli/test_destructive_slash_inline_skip_e2e.py driving HermesCLI.process_command end-to-end and asserting (a) new_session is invoked, (b) the modal is never reached, (c) the skip token does not leak into the session title, and (d) the no-skip-token path still reaches the modal as a sanity check that we haven't accidentally short-circuited the normal flow. All 31 tests across the destructive-slash test surface pass. Docs: - website/docs/reference/slash-commands.md documents the new flags both in the destructive-commands table and the dedicated approval section, with a link back to issue #30768 explaining why the escape hatch exists. |
