Adapt five scenarios from @liuliu0223's regression suite in #99021:
- paired-mode (empty allowlist) positive paths for approval and
update-prompt cards, the DM breakage this fix resolves
- fail-closed rejection of clicks with an empty operator identity
- chat-mismatch rejection when an approval card is forwarded
The synchronous card-action handlers and the update-prompt resolver
authorized clicks with _allow_group_message(), which answers "may this
sender chat in this group?" — with group_policy=open it returns True
for everyone. The approval resolver already used the correct operator
gate (_is_interactive_operator_authorized), so the three code paths
disagreed: with an open group policy an out-of-allowlist click on an
update-prompt card was fully executed, and approval clicks returned a
resolved-looking card before being rejected asynchronously.
Authorize all three paths with _is_interactive_operator_authorized(),
which checks membership of admins ∪ allowed_group_users (wildcard and
the empty pairing-mode allowlist keep their existing allow semantics,
matching _admit's DM pairing default). A missing operator identity now
fails closed on the update-prompt resolver instead of skipping the
check.
Fixes#96045
The pre-release line-walk (#96601 salvage) moved the download/probe body
into install_node_line() and rejects an unstartable binary BEFORE
adoption via node_satisfies_build on the extracted tree. The sandboxed
driver now inlines all three functions, and the broken-node test pins
the stronger pre-adoption rejection instead of post-adoption cleanup.
install_node() picks the newest tarball out of
nodejs.org/dist/latest-v${NODE_VERSION}.x/ and installs it without ever asking
whether the binary inside is usable. That index currently serves
node-v26.8.0-<os>-<arch>.tar.xz -- a final-looking filename -- whose binary
reports v26.8.0-alpha.0.0.0. Node publishes the headers tarball named by
process.release.headersUrl only for final releases, so node-gyp cannot compile
against that build and every native module fails to install.
Probe the extracted tree before it replaces anything on disk, and fall back to
an older release line when the probe rejects it, instead of leaving the install
with an unbuildable runtime. Mirror the guard in node-bootstrap.sh, and let
_managed_node_tree_outdated() treat a pre-release tree as outdated so an
already-broken install heals itself -- the existing heal only fires below the
target major, and a pre-release sits above it.

The old contract (write after close() raises AttributeError and drops
the token delta) is superseded: the persistence boundary now reopens
the connection, so the delta lands. Assert the new, stronger contract.
Subagent/cron sessions died mid-run with "Session DB append_message
failed: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'execute'": a teardown owner
(cron run_job finally, delegate timeout owner, agent close()) called
SessionDB.close() — nulling _conn — while a still-unwinding worker had
one more transcript flush to land. The flush then hit None.execute, the
turn force-ended as session_persistence_failed, and the session tail was
silently dropped while cron delivery reported last_status: ok.
Fix at the shared persistence boundary: _execute_write and the _read_ctx
writer-lock fallback detect the closed handle under self._lock and
reopen a connection to the same database file with a loud WARNING naming
the race. Read-only handles never reopen — they raise an explicit
'was closed' error. A failed reopen raises an OperationalError naming
the teardown race so classify_persistence_error gets a real cause.
Closes#94736
Pin that execute() returns at the wall-clock deadline when the inner wait
never returns, that /stop on the tool-worker tid still kills the subprocess,
that the cron inactivity helper fires while the caller thread is blocked,
and that ContextVars plus the activity callback reach the deadline worker.
A hung terminal wait on the loop thread silently disabled asyncio deadlines
and let cron jobs idle thousands of seconds past HERMES_CRON_TIMEOUT. Drive
the wait from run_bounded_sync (sliced Event.wait, kill-on-timeout) and
move the cron inactivity monitor onto a daemon thread with the same kernel
timeout primitive. Copy the caller ContextVar scope and activity callback
onto the wait worker so profile secrets, session id, and heartbeats survive
the thread hop (#94285).
The orphan-backend classifier fingerprinted candidates via
gateway.status.get_process_start_time, which prefers /proc/<pid>/stat —
the HOST process table, in clock ticks. Under the fake-psutil test harness
(and any containerized run where the PID number happens to exist on the
host) that returns the WRONG process's fingerprint in the WRONG units,
while pid_is_hermes verifies via psutil centiseconds at kill time: the
guard would then refuse every legitimate reap. Read create_time() from the
same psutil handle used for classification, quantized exactly like
gateway.status does on Windows, so the fingerprint round-trips.
Also covers the Windows-lane sibling: test_uses_netstat_and_taskkill_on_windows
now pins the guarded call path, plus a new refusal test for a non-bridge
listener PID (#89614 class).
Salvage hardening on top of the three cherry-picked contributor commits
(#91297 gebilaowang404 + AlexMnrs, #96741 burak33bb, #98826 ayushnangia),
closing the remaining unverified-PID kill sites as one class (#98814, #89614):
- pid_is_hermes: token-boundary 'hermes' match (no more loose substring
false-positives), and an explicit start-time expectation is now honored
on POSIX too (a mismatched fingerprint is a recycled PID on any platform).
- kill_process_tree: drop the guard on our OWN retained Popen child — a
retained handle pins the PID, so the check could only false-refuse.
- gateway.status.terminate_pid: POSIX force-kills also refuse when a
caller-provided expected_start_time no longer matches.
- kill_gateway_processes: re-verify the LIVE cmdline at kill time (the
scan-time match is a TOCTOU window).
- _reap_unsupervised_gateway_orphans: fingerprint orphans at scan time and
require a still-matching identity before the delayed SIGKILL escalation.
- whatsapp _kill_port_process: never kill a bare netstat/lsof-scanned PID
unless the live process is actually a node bridge (was a stranger-kill).
- browser daemon reap/close paths: pass the start-time fingerprint into
ProcessRegistry._terminate_host_pid (previously unverified), and the
session-close path now runs the same daemon identity verification as
the orphan reaper.
- tests/hermes_cli/test_taskkill_identity_windows_live.py: live Windows
probes (real spawned processes, real psutil ancestry) wired into the
on-demand windows-latest wine2e lane.

Guard every Windows `taskkill /PID` against stale/recycled PIDs
(#89614: 8x 0xEF blue screens; a rebooted PID can be svchost.exe).
Adopted the community patch by AlexMnrs (commit 0162465): shared
psutil-based (pid, create_time) guard reusing the repo's existing
get_process_start_time machinery:
- fail closed on invalid/unknown/recycled identities (0/-1/None/bool/non-int)
- capture identity at discovery, re-validate at kill time
- all three sites through pid_is_hermes; taskkill stays hidden
Sites: _subprocess_compat.kill_process_tree,
dashboard_procs._kill_stale_dashboard_processes (win32),
update_cmd._stop_process_trees.

A summarization response with finish_reason == "length" contains PARTIAL
text — the generation stopped on the output-token cap mid-summary.
Previously all compressor summarization sites accepted such responses as
complete: the cut-off text replaced the real middle turns AND was fed back
into every subsequent iterative-update prompt, compounding the loss across
compactions.
Guards added at all four summarization sites (whole bug class):
- _generate_summary: length stop raises, gets the existing one-shot
main-model fallback (a larger output budget may finish the summary), and
on terminal failure ABORTS compression preserving the session unchanged
(new _last_summary_truncated_failure flag, same class as empty-content).
- _micro_summarize_one: partial rolling-summary merge is discarded; the
exchange stays unabsorbed for a later pass.
- _build_chunk_digests: partial lean digest degrades to the
recover-via-session_search placeholder.
- trajectory_compressor (sync + async): length stop raises into the
existing retry/backoff loop.
_response_finish_reason() reads dict- and object-shaped responses and
returns "" when the provider omits the field, so proxies that never send
finish_reason are unaffected.
Ported from earendil-works/pi commit 97fa14e39 (pi#7048), adapted to
hermes' abort-preserving compression failure machinery.
Tests: tests/agent/test_compressor_truncated_summary_guard.py (12 tests;
sabotage-verified — disabling the guards fails 4).
The packaged app crashed at launch with 'No QueryClient set, use
QueryClientProvider to set one': useQuery in a lazy chunk (session-list-density)
read a second @tanstack/react-query runtime whose QueryClientContext was never
populated by the entry's QueryClientProvider. The source tree was correct — the
duplication happened at build time, because react-query was the one
context-bearing runtime not pinned to a shared vendor chunk, and rolldown's
merge heuristics inline the spare copy into a lazy chunk depending on toolchain
version.
- vite.config.ts: add @tanstack/react-query to the vendor-react
advancedChunks group + dev dedupe list, mirroring the react-router fix.
- assert-dist-built.mjs: fail the build when the 'No QueryClient set'
invariant appears in more than one JS asset (launch-smoke guard).
- assert-dist-built.test.mjs: unit tests for the new invariant check.
- launch-packaged-app.spec.ts: e2e smoke test asserting the packaged app
boots to real UI, not the QueryClient error boundary.
test_redaction_applied_to_incident_error asserted real redaction while
relying on the ambient HERMES_REDACT_SECRETS default. agent.redact
snapshots _REDACT_ENABLED at import time; when a co-collected module
(tests/cron/test_codex_execution_paths.py) imports the gateway chain at
COLLECTION time under a shell exporting HERMES_REDACT_SECRETS=false, the
snapshot freezes False before the conftest env scrub runs, and the test
fails only in full-directory runs. Pin the flag via monkeypatch like the
~30 other redaction tests do.
Bisect evidence: pytest tests/cron/test_codex_execution_paths.py
tests/cron/test_cron_incidents.py -k redaction_applied -> 1 failed on
main under HERMES_REDACT_SECRETS=false; passes with the pin.
hermes chat -q wired the interactive prompt_toolkit clarify callback
unconditionally, but a -q turn never builds the prompt_toolkit
application — the modal can never be painted or answered, so the turn
polls its response queue until agent.clarify_timeout expires (default
3600 s, 0 = unlimited). The gateway, cron jobs, the kanban dispatcher
and inter-agent wakeups all deliver work as -q turns. Route the
single-query case to a headless callback at the agent-construction site
that already knows _single_query_mode, mirroring _oneshot_clarify_callback
on the -z path (#94943; third member of the family after #86909 and
#88013).
Hardens the two #95003 alias carriers per review feedback on #95019/#95011:
- _alias_reserved_tools / _rename_tool_search_bridge_for_xai now return the
alias map THIS request emitted; the transport stashes it
(_last_wire_aliases) and normalize_response reverses ONLY those aliases.
A real user/plugin/MCP tool named hermes_tool_search is never silently
dispatched as tool_search when no alias was sent.
- Collision safety: if a real tool already occupies the alias name, the
bridge takes hermes_tool_search_2/_3 — no duplicate wire declarations.
- Legacy static reverse map retained only for normalize-only call sites
that never built a request on the transport instance.
- chat_completion_helpers resets provenance per request so stale maps from
a prior request can't leak into the next response's dispatch.
Refs #95003
xAI's chat-completions API reserves the function name tool_search for
its native server-side tool and rejects the whole request when the
client Tool Search bridge declares it (HTTP 400 'The function name
tool_search is reserved for the tool_search tool', #95003) — Grok
providers were unusable whenever the bridge assembled into the payload
(default tools.tool_search: auto). Mirror the web_search treatment in
transports/codex.py: rename the bridge's wire declaration to
hermes_tool_search for xAI targets (deep-copied first, #27907 lesson)
and map the alias back to tool_search in normalize_response so dispatch
is unchanged. Alias matches the Codex-side fix for the same class
(#83122).
xAI reserves the function name `tool_search` for Grok's native
server-side Tool Search and rejects the client declaration outright:
HTTP 400 {"code":"invalid-argument","error":"The function name
tool_search is reserved for the tool_search tool"}
Hermes's progressive-disclosure bridge registers exactly that literal
(`TOOL_SEARCH_NAME` in tools/tool_search.py) and assembly is not
provider gated, so with the default `tools.tool_search.enabled: auto`
every grok turn fails the moment the catalog crosses the threshold —
mid-session, which reads to the user as a session reset.
Same treatment as the two collisions already handled on this
transport (xAI `web_search` #48108, OpenCode reserved names #85589):
alias to `hermes_tool_search` on the wire in build_kwargs, map back in
normalize_response so Hermes dispatch and the bridge contract are
untouched. `tool_describe` / `tool_call` are not reserved by xAI and
are left alone.
Folds the per-provider rename helpers into one `_alias_reserved_tools`
owner parameterized by the reserved-name tuple, and extends the
existing `_RESERVED_ALIAS_TO_NAME` reverse map so the dispatch-side
un-aliasing needs no new branch.
Scope note: this covers the Responses transport, which is where every
api.x.ai route lands by default (`_fallback_api_mode` maps api.x.ai →
codex_responses, and the xai provider profile declares it). An xAI
model forced onto `api_mode: chat_completions` would still hit the
400; that path has no provider-specific tool rewriting today and would
need the symmetric hook in agent/transports/chat_completions.py. Happy
to add it here if you'd rather have both in one change.
Tests: new TestXaiReservedToolSearchAlias covering the wire alias,
non-xAI backends keeping the canonical name, composition with the
native web_search swap, and the normalize_response round trip.

Follow-up to the salvaged #88097: the same normalization covers the
Shift+letter class reported in #92343 (xterm modifyOtherKeys and both
kitty CSI-u codepoint forms), plus a guard that plain ASCII typing
never triggers the ESC-prefix predicate.
validate_platform_toolsets() accumulated a single valid_count across every
platform, so the "zero valid toolsets" safety net was suppressed as soon as any
one platform carried a valid toolset. A platform wiped to [] — the active one,
typically cli — therefore produced no warning at all.
resolve_enabled_toolsets() honours that empty list verbatim ([] is a list, so
the platform-default fallback is skipped), leaving the agent with zero tool
schemas. The model then has nothing to call and emits the tool call as
assistant text with finish_reason=stop: no error, no warning, no log entry.
That is the silent-failure mode this module was written to prevent (#38798).
Note the asymmetry this leaves intact: a malformed *string* value is not a list,
so it falls back to the platform default and fails open (#78103); an empty list
fails closed. The fail-closed resolution is deliberate (the explicit_empty_
selection contract in tools_config.py, and #82010 wants it persistable), so this
only adds the missing warning and does not change resolution semantics.

The curator LLM fork was steered by its own prompt to re-home skill
support files with terminal `mkdir -p ... && mv ...`. A terminal move
writes the same bytes with NO ledger entry, so the archive that follows
snapshots an already-stripped package (files: 1) and `hermes curator
rollback` restores a hollow skill — SKILL.md back, references/ gone.
Remove the capability rather than guard it: the fork's enabled_toolsets
drops "terminal", so terminal and process disappear together and there
is no shell to parse, no process stdin to feed, no remote-backend
divergence — a heuristic command guard over a Turing-complete input
space can guarantee none of that. Every mutation the pass needs has a
ledgered skill_manage action (write_file / remove_file / delete), and
the prompt now steers exactly those. Reading works through skill_view.
Tests pin both halves: the call-site kwarg (["skills"] only), the
resolved surface (no execution/write tools), and the prompt steering
(no mkdir -p / mv shapes).
Consolidation re-homes a skill's references/ / scripts/ out of the tree
before delete/archive, so the ledger captured only what was left
(files: 1 = SKILL.md) and `hermes curator rollback` restored a hollow
skill — the support files were only recoverable by hand out of the
pre-run .curator_backups tar.
The ledger's delete/archive/purge captures now complete themselves from
the newest curator skills.tar.gz: disk hashes win, the backup fills only
missing paths, tar members escaping the package prefix are rejected,
and every fill target stays under skills/ and HERMES_HOME. The same
fill runs at rollback time, so hollow entries recorded before this fix
still restore the complete package.
Wired at the four capture sites (skill_manage delete, archive_skill,
purge, record_mutation) and verified end-to-end: incident shape
(re-home -> delete -> entry has both files -> rollback restores both),
historical hollow entry repair, no-backup degradation, disk-hash
priority, and tar path-traversal rejection.
Rewrites resolve_exec_command so the generated .desktop Exec no longer
depends on how the installer happened to be launched: fixes the bare
repo-script form whose shebang escapes the venv, and the symlinked-venv
form that .resolve() dereferenced into the base interpreter store.
Salvaged squashed from PR #94874 (24 commits) after the original branch
was found to carry stray __pycache__/.gitignore payload.

A non-loopback dashboard.public_url engaged the ticket-only auth gate for
EVERY hermes serve on the machine — including the private loopback
backends the Desktop app spawns for itself (HERMES_DESKTOP=1). Those
backends authenticate with the per-spawn session token, which the gated
WS path refuses outright, so Desktop failed to boot with:
Local Hermes backend is HTTP-reachable but the WebSocket (/api/ws)
rejected the session token.
The public_url describes a DIFFERENT deployment: the actual public
dashboard is a separate process on a non-loopback bind whose own startup
keeps its gate. Exempting Desktop-owned loopback backends therefore never
opens the public surface.
Exemption requires ALL of: loopback bind, HERMES_DESKTOP=1 (set by every
Desktop spawn path, local and SSH), and an operator-minted credential
(HERMES_DASHBOARD_SESSION_TOKEN, SSH session token, or owner nonce).
Non-Desktop serves and non-loopback binds keep the exact previous
behaviour — verified by regression tests on both sides of the boundary.
Fixes#96490
The salvaged tests mocked @/store/settings-scope from before
$settingsRequestProfile landed (c942cd9ea1); the page now reads it, so
the mock needs the export.
Without this, diffConfig kept comparing against the page-load snapshot
forever, so reverting a field to its original value produced an empty
patch and left the earlier (now-stale) save on disk. Saves are now
queued so an older in-flight request can't resolve after a newer one
and re-advance the baseline with stale data.
_denormalize_config_from_web only wrote model_context_length into the
on-disk model dict inside the branch gated on `model` also being present
in the payload. That was harmless when the frontend always sent the full
config, but the prior commit switched Settings autosave to send only the
diff (diffConfig), so editing the Context Window control alone omits
`model` from the payload and the context-length edit is silently thrown
away. The mirror case regressed too: editing `model` alone now omits
model_context_length from the diff, and the old code treated that missing
key the same as an explicit 0, wiping an existing context_length override
that the user never touched.
Track whether model_context_length was actually present in the payload
and only mutate context_length when it was, independent of whether
`model` also changed.
ConfigSettingsInner seeds its local draft once from the config record and
never re-seeds it while the page stays open, but every autosave PUT still
sent the entire draft. Since PUT /api/config deep-merges onto disk, that
degenerates into a full overwrite for every field the UI's schema knows
about: if `hermes config set` (or another profile/session) changes a
schema-known key like fallback_providers while Settings is open, the next
autosave — triggered by editing any unrelated field — writes the stale
seed-time value back over it.
Diff the draft against the seed-time baseline and send only the changed
branches, so an untouched key is never resent and the backend's deep-merge
actually protects it.
Post-rebase composition over #99431/#99429/#99427: file-attachment sends
route through _run_message_send so the mention-recovery ladder covers
media captions; _send_file_attachment/_send_local_file honor the
resolved thread-root anchor and reply_to_mode opt-out; send() records
event_meta on the verified receipt id (#75826); test fakes gain the
auth_tag kwarg and accepted-receipt shape.
Follow-up reconciliation: _send_file_attachment (the merged #95688/#74999
helper) now uses #78046's strict _parse_send_receipt contract and
redact_path error bounding, so CLI failures never leak host filesystem
paths and zero-exit unverified receipts are rejected on every outbound
media path.
#95688's _send_file_attachment refactor re-probed file existence, which
#74999's tests prove can race into a false 'not found' when the file
disappears between the caller's check and the helper's. Callers that
already verified the file pass probe=False; unverified document/video/
voice callers keep the guard.
