Perplexity Computer's July update let its agent manage sessions
conversationally from any surface — pin, archive, rename, fork — treating
session organization as operational infrastructure rather than a GUI
nicety. Hermes already has the durable pinned flag in state.db (Desktop
sidebar writes it; auto-archive honors it), but no CLI access existed:
GUI-only management was a single point of failure and blocked scripting
(issue #52955).
- hermes sessions pin <id...> / unpin <id...>: set/clear the durable keep
flag via SessionDB.set_session_pinned (whole compression lineage,
prefix resolution, multi-id, exit 1 on any miss)
- hermes sessions pinned [--json]: list all pinned conversations via the
include_pinned back-fill (old pins can't fall off a paging window);
--json enables backup/restore scripting
- docs: user-guide/sessions.md section
- tests: 6 tests covering prefix resolution, multi-id partial failure,
pinned-only filtering, JSON shape, empty hint
Poke (poke.com) 'encourages users to review recurring automations that
haven't been acted upon'. Hermes' equivalent pain point is a recurring
cron job that fails run after run: each failure delivers the same one-line
error with no signal that the automation itself needs attention.
- cron/jobs.py: persist a failure_streak counter in mark_job_run —
incremented on agent failure, reset on success; delivery failures don't
count. Back-compat: missing field reads as 0.
- cron/scheduler.py: _failure_streak_nudge() appends a review nudge to the
delivered failure summary once a recurring job's streak reaches
cron.failure_nudge_threshold (default 3, 0 disables). One-shots never
nudge.
- hermes_cli/cron.py: 'hermes cron list' shows '(N failures in a row)' on
failing jobs with streak >= 2.
- docs: new 'Repeated-failure review nudge' section in cron.md.
Tests: 17 passed (TestMarkJobRun + TestFailureStreakNudge); E2E verified
with real cron store in temp HERMES_HOME.
Copilot CLI 1.0.78 reworked /rewind to restore only the files the agent
changed, 'skipping any file whose contents no longer match what Copilot
last wrote'. This ports that protection to Hermes checkpoints:
- tools/checkpoint_manager.py: per-project agent-write ledger
(sha256 of every landed write_file/patch), safe_restore_plan()
classifier, and restore(safe=True) that reverts only agent-authored
changes, deletes agent-created files, and preserves user hand-edits.
Empty ledger (pre-existing stores) falls back to the classic full
restore.
- run_agent.py: feed the ledger from _record_file_mutation_result on
every landed mutation (zero new hooks; rides the existing verifier).
- CLI + gateway /rollback: safe mode is the default; --all/--force
restores everything; skipped files are reported with a hint.
- 17 locales: new gateway.rollback.kept_user_edits key.
- Docs: checkpoints-and-rollback.md updated.
- Tests: 7 new cases incl. user-edit preservation, post-agent user
tweaks, agent-created file removal, empty-ledger fallback.
Claude Cowork (Aug 6, 2026) added skill & plugin security scanning:
third-party skills and plugins are automatically checked for malicious
content on upload/edit, returning pass/warn/fail. Hermes already scans
hub-installed skills (tools/skills_guard.py), but `hermes plugins
install` cloned and activated arbitrary Git repos completely unscanned —
and plugins run Python in-process, making them the more dangerous
surface.
- tools/plugin_guard.py: plugin-adapted scanner reusing the skills_guard
pattern engine. Exempts the documented provider-plugin patterns (own
requires_env API-key reads, HTTP calls with keys) on code files while
keeping true threat signals (foreign credential-store access, reverse
shells, destructive/persistence/obfuscation patterns, prompt injection
in docs). Plugin-sized structural limits; VCS/venv dirs excluded.
- hermes_cli/plugins_cmd.py: scan the temp clone before it is moved into
~/.hermes/plugins/. safe=install, caution=confirm (interactive prompt
or --force), dangerous=blocked (--force does NOT override). Re-scan on
`hermes plugins update`; a dangerous updated tree is deactivated until
the user reviews the findings. Dashboard install path returns
structured scan_blocked/scan_findings.
- Config gate: plugins.scan_on_install (default true) in config.yaml.
- Validated against all 60 bundled plugins: 57 safe, 3 caution (real
sudo / curl|sh content in their docs), 0 false-positive blocks.
- 15 new tests incl. E2E through _install_plugin_core with real git
clones.
AGENTS.override.md now takes priority over AGENTS.md in both startup
project-context loading (prompt_builder) and progressive subdirectory
hint discovery (subdirectory_hints). Lets developers keep a personal,
typically-gitignored override next to committed project instructions
without editing the tracked file.
Tracker #79686 P3. Every skill mutation — curator, agent, or user — now
appends one entry to the append-only JSONL ledger at
~/.hermes/skills/.curator_ledger.jsonl, with per-file before/after
manifests whose contents are stored content-addressed (sha256-deduped)
under ~/.hermes/.curator_backups/blobs/.
- tools/skill_ledger.py: append/list/get, blob store, actor derivation
(curator|agent|user), single-entry rollback that takes a pre-rollback
safety entry first and FAILS CLOSED when that capture fails (consistent
with the whole-run tarball rollback hardening from #63366). Path
containment check so a hand-edited ledger can't write outside
HERMES_HOME.
- Hooked all three choke points: skill_manage() dispatch (all actors,
delete intent recorded via absorbed_into/archived evidence),
archive_skill()/restore_skill(), and curator auto-transitions (tagged
actor=curator via a ContextVar override).
- Ledger failures never block the mutation — telemetry, not a gate.
Config gate skills.ledger (default true).
- hermes curator ledger [--skill NAME] [--limit N] and
hermes curator rollback <entry-id> (whole-tree snapshot rollback
unchanged).
- Optional TTL purge of skills/.archive/: curator.archive_ttl_days
(default 0 = never) + explicit hermes curator purge, recorded in the
ledger with before-blobs so purges stay recoverable.
- Docs: curator.md sections on the ledger, single-edit rollback, and
archive TTL purge.
Curator invariants unchanged: only created_by:agent skills auto-transition,
never hard-delete autonomously, pinned exempt; foreground user deletes stay
hard-delete (and are now recoverable via the ledger).
Closes#45778, #50875. Tests adapted from #50261 by @yu-xin-c.
The 'Configure auxiliary models' menu under 'hermes model' now includes a
Delegation entry so the delegate_task subagent model is discoverable and
configurable interactively, instead of requiring hand-edited
delegation.provider / delegation.model keys in config.yaml.
Delegation is not an auxiliary_client task — subagents are full child
agents resolved via tools/delegate_tool.py — so the picker entry writes to
the top-level delegation.* section rather than auxiliary.*. 'auto' (inherit
the parent agent) is persisted as empty strings, never the literal 'auto',
which delegate_tool would try to resolve as a provider name. 'Reset all to
auto' clears only the four delegation routing fields and preserves
non-routing settings like max_concurrent_children.
Rework of the #88049 inline early-return per review:
- resolve_xai_http_credentials gains an opt-in prefer_api_key flag that
checks the explicit XAI_API_KEY first and falls back to OAuth. The key
is read through tools.tool_backend_helpers.resolve_provider_secret
(config -> profile secret scope -> env/.env -> credential pool) so the
preferred path enforces the same scope policy as the existing fallback
branch, including failing closed under a multiplexed gateway turn.
- The preferred path's base URL honors HERMES_XAI_BASE_URL then
XAI_BASE_URL behind hermes_cli.auth._xai_validate_inference_base_url,
mirroring the OAuth branch (a foreign origin can't exfiltrate the key).
- x_search's _resolve_xai_bearer now calls the shared resolver with
prefer_api_key=True instead of re-implementing precedence inline (#88040).
- tools/tts_tool.py _generate_xai_tts converted to the same flag — same
root cause for /v1/tts 403s (#87045, supersedes the inline shape in
#87081 by @enwaiax).
- Regression tests retargeted at the tools.xai_http.get_env_value seam and
the shared resolver; added coverage for the flag's OAuth fallback,
HERMES_XAI_BASE_URL + origin validation, default-order stability, and a
profile-scope-only key on the preferred path.
- Docs: x-search authentication section now states the explicit API key
wins (metered billing implication).
Per review: the protocol belongs only in official Bot Mode interactions,
not every session on a managed install. The prompt builder now injects
the section only when the agent's session row is titled "Bot Chat"
(BOT_CHAT_TITLE, matching the desktop's createCanonicalChat pin and the
`hermes -p <bot> chat -c "Bot Chat"` resume target). Regular sessions
never carry it; the desktop composer middleware owns @mention sends.
Title is read once at first prompt build and the rendered prompt is
cached + DB-restored — cache-safe. E2E against the real AIAgent +
SessionDB: absent in an untitled session, present in Bot Chat,
byte-stable across rebuilds, absent after retitle, absent with the
flag off. Overhead unchanged (~916B, Bot Chat sessions only).
Replaces the plugin-side SOUL.md protocol append: on Bot-Mode-managed
installs (any profile carrying ui_meta['hermes-bots']) the prompt builder
injects the "Messaging other agents" section into every session of every
profile — including headless `hermes -p <bot> chat` sessions a teammate
starts — so bot handoffs work without mutating user-authored SOUL files.
- tools/bot_mode_probe.py: silent-when-unmanaged probe, cached per
(process, home), keyed off the agent's OWN home (not ambient
HERMES_HOME); silent when SOUL.md already carries the legacy section
- agent/system_prompt.py + agent_init.py + config_defaults.py: wired as
agent.bot_mode_protocol (default True), stable tier, byte-stable
across rebuilds (E2E-verified against the real build_system_prompt)
- tui_gateway profiles.list gains bot_mode_protocol capability flag;
the bundled plugin gates ALL SOUL protocol writes on it (backfill,
composeSoul, Edit save) — older gateways keep the SOUL-append path
- overhead: ~916 bytes, only on Bot-Mode installs; zero elsewhere
Supersedes the SOUL backfill half of Hermes-Bot-Mode#99 (credit
@kaduxo — the handle fix, `hermes profile list` correction, and
idempotent-append guards from that PR ship in the bundled plugin).
The runtime-contract repair now also runs during hermes update and once
per session at the first computer_use call (PR #87923); the docs only
mentioned setup and toolset enablement.
The Aug 8 default-on upscaling policy (66ea4e686) chained the Clarity
Upscaler after every sub-2MP generation. Clarity is an SD1.5 creative
tile-diffusion enhancer (creativity 0.35, "masterpiece" prompt prefix) —
it redraws content, which degraded output on 100% of generations for
models like GPT Image 2 and Ideogram whose value is precise text
rendering, CJK, and photorealistic detail.
Policy now: no model upscales by default, on FAL or Krea. The `upscale`
tool param remains as a per-call opt-in (`upscale: true`); explicit
requests still chain Clarity (FAL) / Krea Enhance as before.
- FAL catalog: all 17 default-on entries flipped to upscale=False
- Krea plugin: medium + medium-turbo per-model defaults flipped off
- Tool schema: upscale param described as opt-in with a fidelity warning
- Tests updated: catalog invariant now pins all-off; default-on cases
now assert no upscaler call
- Docs (en + zh) updated to the opt-in policy
Follow-up to #87400: drop the max_iterations and prompt_file knobs from
auxiliary.background_review. The aux model routing (provider/model/
base_url/...) predates #87400 and stays; the enabled switch and the
usage telemetry stay. The fork's iteration budget returns to the
historical hardcoded 16.
Persist fork token usage under session_model_usage task=background_review,
emit a per-fork completion log line, and expose enabled/max_iterations/
prompt_file so operators can see and bound the automatic review cost.
Address review feedback: load auxiliary.background_review once per spawn,
classify completion logs by summarize action prefixes, treat explicit
api_call_count=None as the documented default of 1, and WARNING on the
fail-open enabled-gate path.
Expand user-guide/multi-connection-desktop.md into a complete setup
walkthrough: where to find the pane (settings nav, profile-rail plug,
command palette), the exact add-connection editor fields (Name,
Gateway URL, Authentication: Session token/OAuth, SSH host), Primary /
This device pills, Test semantics, agent roster + profile-rail
switching and per-profile session/cron/messaging scoping, token
storage via Electron safeStorage with the keyring-less Linux plain-
text opt-in, and troubleshooting. All quoted labels match the desktop
i18n strings. Cross-link the rail entry point from desktop.md.
hermes chat -q sets HERMES_INTERACTIVE=1 (for interactive sudo prompts) but
runs one turn with no user waiting to answer approval prompts. Previously a
dangerous command triggered the interactive gate, waited the full 300s
timeout, then failed closed — and the agent was effectively forced to work
around the block, often silently auto-approving via execute_code (which
auto-approves in non-gateway mode).
Add approvals.single_query_mode (default deny, mirror of cron_mode):
deny — block dangerous commands and execute_code deterministically with
a clear 'no user present' message (no 300s wait)
approve — auto-approve dangerous commands/execute_code in -q mode
cli.py marks the session with HERMES_SINGLE_QUERY_SESSION; the shared gate
(_run_approval_gate, check_all_command_guards, check_execute_code_guard)
treats -q as a deterministic non-interactive context when that marker is set.
execute_code, the -q escape hatch, now honors single_query_mode instead of
auto-approving headlessly. Includes tirith parity in the combined guard and
docs. Fixes#86878.
Adds a `modify` response type to pre_tool_call hooks so a hook can
transform tool arguments before the tool executes, instead of repairing
results afterwards via post_tool_call.
- hermes_cli/plugins.py: _dispatch_pre_tool_call_hooks() fires hooks once
and returns (block_message, modified_args); modify directives
shallow-merge into an accumulated dict built from the original args.
- agent/shell_hooks.py: _parse_response() accepts both the canonical
{"action": "modify", "args": {...}} and Claude Code-compatible
{"decision": "modify", "tool_input": {...}} wire formats.
- model_tools.py, agent/tool_executor.py, agent/agent_runtime_helpers.py:
dispatch sites migrated; modified args applied before execution.
- Docs + 10 new tests (merge semantics, precedence, block interplay).
Salvaged from PR #28953. Best fix for #18988.
#87326 shipped the lean-compaction capability on the compressor; this adds
the config.yaml surface (compression.tail_mode: legacy|lean, default
legacy), DEFAULT_CONFIG entry, and docs on both the dev-guide compression
page and the user-guide configuration page, with zh-Hans parity.
Live-tested against the real cua-driver 0.19.3 binary (Linux x86_64):
- bounded serve flags corrected: the daemon accepts
--session-policy/--approve-session-policy, not the docs'
--capability-manifest names (which it rejects). Verified end-to-end:
a bounded daemon with a real policy file starts and reports running.
- browser-approve verified real but interactive-only (refuses without a
TTY) and its token is a legacy compatibility path disabled by default
on current drivers (per the live browser_prepare schema). Kept as a
passthrough; no longer presented as the primary route.
- NEW primary standard-mode route, verified live: launch the runtime
with cua-driver's trusted-launcher grant. config opt-in
computer_use.grant_existing_profile: true appends
--grant existing-profile to the standard-mode MCP spawn (MCP
initialize verified accepting the flag). Default false = attachment
keeps failing closed. Never applied to bounded/unrestricted daemons.
- Skill, system prompt, tool schema, and docs updated to the verified
ladder: config grant > bounded manifest > YOLO; token = legacy.
Completes the typed cua_browser_* route (PR #74166 lineage) with the
authorization surface that makes existing-profile attachment and
repeatable bounded automation reachable by real users:
- hermes computer-use browser-approve: CLI passthrough that mints
cua-driver's five-minute single-use attachment token for one exact
(pid, window_id). The user, never the model, is the token source.
- approval_token passthrough on cua_browser_prepare (schema + dispatch +
browser_route), forwarded only for existing_profile and only as a
non-empty string.
- computer_use.permission_mode: bounded + capability_manifest config:
private per-session embedded daemon launched with
--capability-manifest/--approve-capability-manifest; missing manifest
fails loudly. 'unrestricted' is deliberately NOT a config value —
it stays bound to the explicit per-session YOLO toggle.
- Skill + system-prompt + docs guidance for the three authorization
rungs and the isolated-profile-first default.
E2E-verified against a temp HERMES_HOME: real config resolution to
bounded, loud failure without a manifest, real argparse path driving a
fake cua-driver binary, standard default preserved.
session=<name> previously set BU_NAME and then skipped backend resolution
entirely — the parameter was documented as cloud-only, so all local/CDP
work funneled through the single default daemon and one IPC socket, and
concurrent sessions (parallel subagents, simultaneous chats) clobbered
each other's browser connection. Reported by @shantanugoel on X.
Now a named session composes with whatever browser source is configured:
- BU_NAME still namespaces the harness daemon (per-name IPC socket, log,
pid — upstream already isolates these), for local Chrome and CDP.
- The /browser connect CDP override is now exported for named sessions
too; previously a named daemon ignored it and fell back to scanning
local Chrome profiles.
- On provider backends (Browserbase, Firecrawl, Nous gateway), the name
keys its own provider browser via the shared _get_session_info cache
(bu-named-<name>), so each name gets its own cloud browser, the same
name reuses one across calls and tasks, and unnamed calls keep the
per-task key.
- Direct-API Browser Use cloud configs keep the native named-daemon path
(provider resolution would double-session and double-bill).
Tool schema/description updated so models reach for session=<name> for
parallel work on any backend, not just cloud.
E2E: two named sessions against a real headless Chrome (real browser-use
CLI, BU_CDP_URL) ran concurrently, set distinct page state, and read it
back intact; sabotage run confirms the new tests fail without the fix.
Phases 3-5 of the multi-connection campaign in one PR (per Teknium), on top
of the registry (#86679) and composite-key backend routing (#86839). Agents
from every registered connection are now usable side by side.
Renderer socket registry (phase 3):
- backendScopeKey moves to apps/shared (@hermes/shared) so main-process pool
keys and renderer socket keys derive from ONE rule; the electron module
keeps a byte-identical twin (tsconfig project boundaries) pinned by a
cross-copy contract test.
- store/gateway secondaries are scope-keyed: entries carry (connectionId,
profile); registry-scoped entries dial through getConnectionFor +
getGatewayWsUrlFor (fresh per-connect OAuth tickets against the right
host); events keep the bare profile plus a connectionId tag; touch/idle
keepalive uses the scope key; pruning keeps entries whose PROFILE has live
work. New ensureGatewayForAgent/openGatewayForAgent fall through to the
profile path for local/null sources — single-source behavior byte-identical.
Union roster + plugin SDK (phases 3+4, the Bot Mode door):
- hermes:agents:roster enumerates every connection's /api/profiles
concurrently (eager REST, lazy sockets; unreachable sources report per-row;
undialed ssh boxes stay connect-on-demand) and flattens through
buildAgentRoster — the @name-device duplicate-handle rule applied once
across all sources, pure + tested.
- SDK: host.connections(), host.agents(), host.warmAgent(),
host.ensureAgent() — feature-detected so plugins degrade cleanly on older
Desktop builds.
Fan-out updates (phase 5):
- hermes:connections:update-all dispatches hermes update to every eligible
source in parallel: local via the app's own applyUpdates pipeline,
remote/ssh via the backend's own POST /api/hermes/update; cloud skipped as
platform-managed (updateEligibility, pure + tested); per-connection result
rows so one dead box can't wedge the batch. Settings → Connections gains
the "Update all instances" button (shown with 2+ connections).
Also: getJsonForBackend/postJsonForBackend helpers with the token/OAuth-cookie
auth split; docs section updated from "staged rollout" to live behavior.
Tests: +4 pure cases (cross-copy contract, roster handles, unreachable
sources, update eligibility); FULL desktop suite 5115 passed; tsc renderer +
electron + shared clean; eslint clean.
The desktop app carried its own hardcoded list of 17 vendor MCP endpoints
(apps/desktop/src/lib/mcp-directory.ts) powering the composer suggestion
pills — a second PR-reviewed vendor list, overlapping and drifting from the
Nous-approved MCP catalog (optional-mcps/).
This makes the catalog the single source of truth:
- manifest schema: optional `suggest:` block (keywords + hosts), parsed,
validated, and normalized in mcp_catalog.py
- 15 new URL-only hosted-remote catalog entries (atlassian, sentry, datadog,
notion, stripe, vercel, supabase, netlify, hugging_face, asana, intercom,
airtable, webflow, paypal, square); figma + linear manifests gain suggest
blocks
- GET /api/mcp/catalog now serves the suggest metadata
- desktop suggestion provider builds its match index from the catalog;
the static directory remains only as a compatibility rung for older
backends without suggest metadata
- setup card source line prefers the catalog entry's transport URL
GitHub stays out of the catalog on purpose: its hosted MCP rejects generic
DCR and the bundled github/* skills (gh CLI) are the stronger integration.
New desktop `github` suggestion provider offers the github-auth skill
instead — gated on a new cached GET /api/git/gh-auth probe so already-
authenticated users never see the pill.
On an Anthropic subscription OAuth credential, every request failed with
HTTP 400 "You're out of extra usage. Add more at claude.ai/settings/usage".
That is not a billing condition: Anthropic's server-side content filter rejects
the first sentence of Hermes' own built-in SKILLS_GUIDANCE prompt, and the
rejection is surfaced with a billing-shaped message. Because the message points
at the usage settings page, it reliably sends people to buy quota they do not
need — the reporter lost three debugging sessions to it.
Bisected against the live API with the real 71,721-char assembled prompt: the
first SKILLS_GUIDANCE sentence alone reproduces the 400 and removing it alone
clears it. Size was ruled out (20 KB of unrelated filler returns 200) and so was
the system[0] identity gate (that returns 429, a different failure).
Three changes, all serving the same outcome — a subscription user can no longer
be misdirected by this 400:
- agent/prompt_builder.py: reword the triggering sentence to the phrasing the
reporter verified returns 200. Meaning, the skill_manage reference, and the
## Skill Safety Rule block are all preserved. The reword is empirically
validated rather than understood, so a comment records the bisect and warns
that any rewrite must be re-verified against an OAuth token, not an API key.
- agent/conversation_loop.py: the Anthropic branch of the billing guidance no
longer asserts exhaustion as fact. It hedges the opening line, names the
content-filter alternative, and gives the operator a way to tell the two apart
(if the usage page still shows quota, suspect a content rejection). It also
points at `hermes auth reset anthropic`, because the credential exhaustion
latch replays the stored error for ~60 min without issuing a request — which
makes a real fix look like it did not work.
- hermes_cli/auth.py: document that CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN is an OAuth token,
not an API key, despite auth_type="api_key". It stays in api_key_env_vars
because that tuple doubles as the credential-discovery list; removing it would
stop Hermes finding a `claude setup-token` credential at all.
Docs updated to match the reworded prompt.
Fixes#82154
Ports Claude Code's /loop (and its /proactive alias) across every Hermes
surface. /loop [interval] <prompt> re-runs a prompt or slash command on a
recurring cadence inside the live session; omitting the interval enables
self-paced mode (starts at the floor, backs off exponentially while the
agent's replies stop changing, snaps back on change — local digest
comparison, zero extra LLM cost).
Stop conditions: agent-emitted LOOP_COMPLETE marker, --times N,
--until <condition> (judged by the existing goal_judge aux task,
fail-open), /loop stop, and a loops.max_ticks backstop budget.
Core: hermes_cli/loops.py (LoopState + LoopManager + shared
dispatch_loop_command), persisted per session in SessionDB state_meta
(loop:<sid>) so /resume picks it up; migrates across compression
boundaries like /goal. New SessionDB.list_meta_prefix() powers the
gateway's cross-session scan.
Surfaces:
- CLI: /loop handler + idle-fire and post-turn-complete hooks in
process_loop (mirrors the /goal hook shape; Ctrl+C pauses the loop)
- Gateway: /loop handler with route capture, mid-run control-verb guard,
post-turn tick completion, and a supervised loop_wakeup_watcher that
injects due wakeups into idle chats via the synthetic-message path
- TUI/dashboard/desktop: command.dispatch handler + per-session
notification-poller wakeup driver + post-turn completion in the turn
dispatcher; /loop added to the desktop slash palette
- /goal mixing: an active non-parked goal owns the idle boundary — loop
ticks defer until it finishes, pauses, or parks; real user input always
wins over both
Config: loops.{min_interval_seconds,max_ticks,self_paced_floor_seconds,
self_paced_ceiling_seconds}. Docs page + sidebar entry. 77 new tests.
Slack's 50-slash cap: /version moves to /hermes version to free the
native slot for /loop.
Completes the duplicated-chrome class fix:
- Focus-in (CSI I) now routes through the same rate-limited full-redraw
recovery as Ctrl+L//redraw, clearing ghost prompt/composer copies after
Alt+Tab / tab switches (focus-regain variant reported on #60920, #25337)
- Document display.cli_rebuild_scrollback_on_redraw in configuration.md
- Register the new default in hermes_cli/config_defaults.py (moved from
the pre-refactor config.py location the salvaged commit targeted)
Background process completions on messaging platforms now default to a
one-line status message (✅/❌ + command + duration; failures append a
short output tail) instead of dumping the raw output buffer into the
chat. New display.background_process_notifications mode 'concise' is
the default; 'all' keeps the old raw-dump behavior for anyone who wants
it. Config migration v35 moves users still on the old implicit default
'all' to 'concise' on their next update; explicit result/error/off
choices are preserved.
The desktop docs had no HUD mode section at all. Add one covering the
key interaction (long-press the composer to drag the bar), plus resize,
snap-to-pointer, and exit — all sourced from the actual implementation
in composer-drag.ts, resize-handle.ts, and keybinds/actions.ts.
Covers the advisory memory and disk blocks added to GET /api/status in
#84965 (thresholds, staleness handling, fail-safe degradation) and the
dashboard resource-pressure banner (trigger precedence, boot-scoped
dismissals).
Now that subscriptions survive `done` (completion is reversible —
on every 5s notifier tick forever. Add
kanban_db.purge_stale_done_notify_subs(): one DELETE removing subs
whose task has been done with no new events past a retention window
(age = latest task event, falling back to completed_at/created_at, so
any activity exempts the task; a reopened task is exempt by status
alone). The notifier watcher runs it per board once at startup and at
most hourly, re-reading kanban.done_sub_retention_days (config.yaml,
default 30; 0 disables) at each sweep.
Carry the worker's completion handoff into the synthetic creator wake
turn and label it as an automatic notification with inspect-the-board /
don't-recreate guidance, so a woken orchestrator doesn't re-decompose
work that already exists (#70752).
Salvaged from PR #71100 by @yinkev; ported onto the restructured wake
region (delivery_mode gating, scope_id, sub chat_id destinations). The
auto_subscribe_on_create config-default half of the original PR was
dropped as already superseded on main.
