Capabilities/Messaging/Artifacts (and other full-page workspace routes) rendered their content correctly on navigate(), but the workspace pane itself stayed behind an active session tile in the pane tree if one was focused. Clicking the same sidebar item again after switching to a session tile appeared to do nothing.
Session switches already call revealTreePane('workspace') + noteActiveTreeGroup(null) to front the pane (store/session-states.ts), but sidebar/keybind/command-palette navigation to full-page routes did not have an equivalent.
Add navigateToWorkspacePage() helper in routes.ts that wraps navigate() and fronts the workspace pane for non-overlay, non-chat views. Apply it at all 5 call sites that navigate to full-page workspace routes: selectSidebarItem, use-keybinds (nav.skills/messaging/artifacts), command palette 'go', Command Center's onNavigateRoute, and cold-start route restore.
Fixes#72602
Reshapes the salvaged fix so it recovers the `tsc: not found` build without
mis-diagnosing healthy trees.
The npm config forcing is dropped. It rested on the premise that an inherited
`npm_config_omit=dev` can beat the `--include=dev` CLI flag; npm resolves
command-line flags above environment config and filters `omit` by `include`,
so the flag already wins. Verified on npm 10 and 11.5.1: with
`npm_config_omit=dev` set and `--include=dev` passed, devDependencies install.
`npm_config_production` is worse than redundant — npm 9 removed it, so setting
it prints `npm warn config production Use --omit=dev instead.` on every
install.
The readiness probe now reads every root `npm run build` searches, not just
the workspace root. npm links a package's bin shims under the package itself
when it owns its lockfile (#42973), so a root-only check called a working tree
broken: it forced a redundant install, skipped the build entirely, and made
`hermes web` exit 1 on a layout that builds fine today.
The pre-build probe is gone with it. A build that works is never second-guessed
and no filesystem introspection gates it; recovery is driven by the failure
instead. When the build cannot resolve tsc or vite, we reinstall (visibly) and
retry before the generic delayed retry, which otherwise just reruns the same
command and leaves the stale dist in place forever. The lockfile-hash skip
still invalidates on an incomplete toolchain so the next update repairs itself.
Also drops the branches that changed behavior based on whether a test mock was
installed, and replaces the mock-call-count tests with real temp trees covering
both hoisting layouts, the Windows shim extensions, and each shell's wording of
an unresolvable binary.

hermes update could report a successful workspace npm ci while
devDependencies were omitted (production/omit-dev env leakage), leaving
tsc/vite unlinked. The subsequent web UI build then failed with
`tsc: not found` and fell back to a stale dashboard dist.
Force npm_config_include=dev on install, verify toolchain shims after
workspace install (and refuse to hash-cache a half tree), repair/reinstall
when node_modules exists without tsc/vite, prepend workspace .bin dirs to
PATH, and retry the build after a tsc/vite-not-found failure.
The connector's Slack sender threads on metadata ONLY: threadTs() reads
metadata.thread_id/thread_ts and never the frame's reply_to. base.py's
final-reply lane (and its stream-fallback 'first response' resend) builds
metadata from source.thread_id — None for a top-level DM — so its sends
carried reply_to as the sole threading signal and posted to the home
channel (2026-07-27 post-approval report; the 15:17:03 frame showed
meta_keys=['notify','user_id']).
After the QA-6 mode gate keeps the anchor, copy it into
metadata.thread_id so the wire carries the signal where the connector
reads it. Flat mode unaffected (anchor already nulled); explicit thread
metadata wins; non-Slack untouched.
Slack's thinking-status line (thread replies footer, plain chat:write —
no assistant scopes needed) is thread-only: the connector's typing case
no-ops without thread_ts. The typing lane's metadata has no anchor for a
top-level DM (base.py builds from source.thread_id = None), so every
status heartbeat was silently dropped — the trace showed typing frames
with meta_keys=['user_id'] only.
Cache the triggering message ts per chat on inbound (_capture_scope) and
synthesize metadata.thread_id on send_typing/stop_typing in
thread-per-message mode, mirroring native send_typing's
_resolve_thread_ts(metadata.message_id). Flat mode unchanged (#18859);
real-thread metadata wins over the cache; the clear frame targets the
same synthesized thread so the status never sticks.
Native Slack shows dynamic assistant-status text ('Finding answers…',
'is running pytest…') because SlackAdapter sets supports_status_text=True
and renders the set_status_text() phrase in send_typing. The relay lane
advertised nothing, so run.py's live-status lane never fed it phrases and
the connector fell back to the static default.
- supports_status_text: descriptor-gated property (Slack only; other
fronted platforms keep textless bubbles)
- send_typing: carry the stashed phrase as the typing op's content; omit
when unset (empty string is Slack's explicit clear, reserved for
stop_typing). Connector already renders content via
assistant.threads.setStatus (#154).
_resolve_reply_to_for_send dropped the triggering-ts reply_to on every
Slack DM with no metadata thread_id. But the final-reply lane (platforms/
base.py) builds metadata from source.thread_id only — None for a top-level
DM — so in thread-per-message mode that reply_to is the final reply's ONLY
threading signal, and stripping it exiled the final message to the DM root
while progress bubbles stayed threaded (sibling of the QA-5 prompt bug).
Mirror native _resolve_thread_ts: suppress the synthetic anchor only when
platforms.slack.extra.reply_in_thread=false. Flat mode behavior unchanged;
real threads and channels unchanged.
The threading mode (flat vs thread-per-message) is decided once, in run.py's
_resolve_progress_thread_id (reply_in_thread knob), and encoded in the
metadata stamp: flat => no thread_id, threaded => thread_id for the turn
(first turn: == message_id, the synthetic root IS the thread).
_strip_synthetic_dm_thread re-derived the mode with an unconditional
thread_id == message_id strip, exiling approval/clarify cards (and their
resolved-state swaps) to the DM root while progress bubbles honoured the
thread (2026-07-27 mixed-placement report). Trust the stamp instead; flat
mode is unaffected because flat metadata never carries an anchor.
* fix: Branch in new chat loses the question and the branched session (#issue)
- session.branch on the backend now accepts a count param to truncate
the parent history to the clicked message, instead of always forking
the entire transcript. Also returns stored_session_id/messages/info
so the frontend has parity with session.create's response shape.
- branchCurrentSession (open live chat) now slices history from 0
instead of from the clicked message index, so the question preceding
an assistant reply is no longer dropped when branching.
- forkBranch now calls session.branch (not session.create) when
branching an open live chat, since session.create only persists a DB
row lazily on first prompt - a branched chat that nobody types into
never got saved, and vanished as 'session not found' on the next
app restart. branchStoredSession (branching from the sidebar, no
live runtime) keeps using session.create as before.
* test: cover session.branch count truncation and open-chat branching
- backend: assert session.branch with a count param only persists the
first N messages of the live history to the new session.
- frontend: BranchHarness now exposes branchCurrentSession; assert
branching an open chat from a middle message calls session.branch
with the parent session id and the correct trimmed count, instead of
session.create.
* fix: Branch button is a dead no-op inside a branched chat tile
session-tile.tsx wired onBranchInNewChat to () => undefined for
tiled/branched sessions (nested branching isn't supported there), but
the button in AssistantMessage's action bar rendered unconditionally
regardless of whether a real handler was supplied. The button looked
clickable but silently did nothing, with no visual feedback.
- AssistantMessage now only renders the Branch button when
onBranchInNewChat is actually provided, matching the existing
pattern used for onDismissError/onRestoreToMessage.
- session-tile.tsx no longer passes a no-op handler; the prop is
simply omitted so the button doesn't render in tiles.
- onBranchInNewChat is now optional on ChatViewProps, and the
latestChatActions passthrough wrapper uses the existing
latestOptional helper instead of an unconditional call.
* test: assert Branch button visibility matches handler presence
Adds coverage for the bug #2 fix: renders Thread with and without an
onBranchInNewChat handler and asserts the Branch in new chat button
is shown only when a real handler is supplied, hidden otherwise -
covering both the normal open-chat case and the session-tile
(branched chat) case that used to leave a dead, clickable button.
Update _pre_msg_count after adopting the durable transcript so the
post-compression log reflects the correct pre-adoption message count.
Also use the existing _live_child_id() helper in the updated test
instead of hand-rolled child-id extraction.
Follow-up to #72631.
is_truthy_value(..., default=False) and getattr(..., False) disagreed with
compression.in_place: true from #38763, so partial/failed config loads fell
back into rotation mode and re-armed the pre-lease drift path. Also report
compression.in_place in hermes dump overrides so stale false values are visible.
Busy sessions (memory review / shared session writers) kept outrunning the
in-memory snapshot, so rotation-mode compress aborted every attempt with
"changed before lease acquisition" and surfaced as a fake "No changes from
compression". Adopt the durable transcript and continue compressing instead
of returning the stale snapshot unchanged.
Per hermes-sweeper review on #56671: the fallback exclusion matched any
canonical string starting with "custom" (e.g. "customproxy"), not just
the durable named-custom-provider syntax ("custom" bucket or
"custom:<name>" slugs). Narrow it to an exact/prefix match on that
syntax so unrelated vendor names aren't accidentally exempted from the
openrouter fallback.
Also clarifies the test suite: a properly configured custom:<name>
provider now resolves via resolve_custom_provider before this fallback
is ever reached (added upstream in 9a15fad0d6), so the existing test
was mislabeled as exercising that primary path when it was actually
exercising the fallback-safety-net case (missing/unresolved config
entry). Split into explicit primary-path and fallback-safety-net tests,
plus a regression test for the "customproxy"-style false positive.
_normalize_main_model_assignment() (POST /api/model/set, the endpoint
Desktop's Settings -> Model page uses to persist the main model slot) has
a fallback for a specific analytics bug: an older session row with no
billing_provider sends the model's bare vendor prefix as "provider"
(e.g. "anthropic" from "anthropic/claude-opus-4.6"), so the code detects
an unrecognized provider paired with a slash-bearing model and treats it
as that stray-vendor-prefix case.
Named custom providers are represented as "custom:<name>" slugs
everywhere else in the codebase (runtime_provider.py, model_switch.py),
but _KNOWN_PROVIDER_NAMES only lists the bare "custom" bucket. So picking
a named custom provider (e.g. "custom:litellm", a LiteLLM proxy fronting
Ollama) together with a slash-bearing model ("ollama/glm-5.2") looked
identical to the stray-vendor-prefix case and got silently rewritten to
provider: openrouter in config.yaml on save -- reassigning the provider
entirely, not just mangling the model id.
Exclude anything starting with "custom" from the fallback, matching the
guard the same function already applies later for the actual
normalize_model_for_provider call.

_MATCHING_PREFIX_STRIP_PROVIDERS includes "custom" so that manually typed
config values like "zai/glm-5.1" repair themselves for their matching
native provider. But "custom" is a generic bucket for arbitrary
user-defined endpoints, not a vendor identity -- unlike zai/gemini/xai,
where a matching alias really does mean "this prefix names the same
backend as the target provider."
_PROVIDER_ALIASES maps "ollama" -> "custom", so a model configured as
"ollama/glm-5.2" against a named custom provider (e.g. a LiteLLM proxy
fronting Ollama, which registers its routes as "ollama/<model>") had its
prefix stripped to bare "glm-5.2" -- a name the proxy doesn't recognize.
_strip_matching_provider_prefix now only strips a literal "custom/"
prefix when the target resolves to "custom"; an alias that merely
resolves to custom (ollama) no longer qualifies, since custom has no
vendor identity for it to redundantly repeat.

Root-context rm -f "$log_dir/lock" could follow a raced directory
symlink and unlink a foreign lock outside HERMES_HOME. Clear the
stale lock via s6-setuidgid hermes alongside mkdir, and assert
victim/lock survives the swap-race test.
Without restartable log/run chown, warm volumes that keep a hermes-owned
HERMES_HOME but root-owned logs/gateways would again deny hermes mkdir.
Add a non-recursive stage2 parent heal and cover the poisoned-parent reboot path.
Root-context log/run used to pathname-chown hermes-writable log paths,
which a hermes user can race through a symlink swap via the writable
log control FIFO. Create the leaf with s6-setuidgid hermes mkdir instead;
parent logs/gateways ownership stays a stage2 boot concern (#45258).
A skin that authors a background paints both terminal defaults: OSC-11
for the backdrop, OSC-10 to re-base every default-fg token (markdown
body, borders, anything rendered without an explicit color) onto the
theme's text tone.
The OSC-10 half never fired on a limited-palette terminal.
`normalizeThemeForAnsiLightTerminal` rewrites the foreground tones to
`ansi256(N)`, and `setTerminalForeground` only accepts `#rrggbb` — so
the argument failed the hex test and the write was silently skipped.
The background moved to the skin while default-fg text stayed on the
host profile's foreground.
That split is the reported symptom: prose renders in the terminal's own
near-black while every themed token beside it renders the skin's gray,
so the base text color appears to change between adjacent words. A
resize repaints the affected cells from the screen buffer, which is why
the text "goes black" on resize and why the mix looks scattered rather
than uniform.
Resolve the tone through a new `themeToneHex` before handing it to
OSC-10: `ansi256(N)` maps through the xterm grayscale ramp and 6x6x6
cube, an authored hex passes through, and anything with no paintable
color yields '' (which correctly clears back to the terminal default).
Verified on Terminal.app + the `brooklyn` skin: `theme.color.text` is
`ansi256(238)`, previously dropped, now emitted as
`ESC]10;#444444 BEL` alongside the existing `ESC]11;#f6f9fd BEL`.
The large-session-resume E2E captured initialMockReplyCount immediately
after openSeededSession, which returns once the NEWEST turn is in the
viewport. With FIRST_PAINT_BUDGET=20 (lowered from 60 in this branch),
only the newest ~10 turns mount at first paint; the older turns
backfill in a rAF. The baseline was reading 10 instead of 27, so once
the backfill mounted the full 28 (27 seeded + 1 new), the test saw
"28 ≠ 11" and reported duplicates that were never there.
Wait for the oldest seeded turn to mount before taking the baseline.
This makes the count reflect the fully-mounted transcript regardless
of FIRST_PAINT_BUDGET, so the perf win (smaller first paint) and the
no-duplicate invariant both hold.
Refs #72504
pull_org_skills/propose_skill resolved and demanded HERMES_SYNC_BASE_URL
before using the caller-provided `client`, which already carries its own
base URL. Only resolve/require it on the path that actually constructs a
client.
Caught by scripts/run_tests.sh, which blanks env vars to match CI. Plain
`pytest` masked it: my shell had HERMES_SYNC_BASE_URL exported from live
testing, so the redundant check silently passed. Reproduced deliberately
with `env -u HERMES_SYNC_BASE_URL pytest` before fixing.
371 passed / 0 failed across the sync, skills, prompt, and skill-utils
suites via the canonical runner.
Every fallback/dedup/skip decision asks one question — 'is this candidate
the same backend as the one that failed, along the axis that failure
invalidated?' — but it was re-implemented inline at six sites across four
subsystems, each comparing whatever string was locally convenient. Each
incident fixed one site while the others kept the bug: #22548, #70893,
#59561, #72468, #62984/#54250/#57584.
agent/backend_identity.py now owns the concept: BackendIdentity (provider /
model / base_url axes), FailureScope (MODEL / CREDENTIAL / ENDPOINT — each
failure class invalidates a different axis), and should_skip_candidate().
Unknown axes never manufacture a skip (over-skipping strands failover; a
wrong try costs one RTT).
Migrated sites:
- chat_completion_helpers.try_activate_fallback: replaces the provider+model
early-exit (the #62984 bug: ignored base_url, stranding multi-endpoint
pools) AND _fallback_entry_is_same_backend_by_base_url (deleted)
- auxiliary_client._try_configured_fallback_chain +
_try_main_agent_model_fallback: replace label/model comparisons; auth and
payment map to CREDENTIAL scope, keeping the #59561 carve-out
- hermes_cli/fallback_cmd add: primary-match + duplicate checks now identity-
aware (#54250/#57584): same provider+model on a different explicit
base_url is a pool entry, not a duplicate
_mark_provider_unhealthy stays label-keyed deliberately: its only triggers
are confirmed 402s, which ARE credential-scoped.
Owner-level tests pin each incident's semantics by number; sabotage-verified
(removing the base_url axis fails the #62984 test).
Two defects found by manual testing on the branch.
1. ORG SYNC NEVER RAN. The org pull/mirror/gating machinery was fully
implemented and unit-tested but had ZERO runtime callers —
maybe_pull_org_skills() was referenced only inside a comment, and
`hermes sync` had no org path at all. Every code path fell through to
personal sync (refs/user/<sub>/), so org skills never loaded and the
feature looked like 'everything syncs to my personal org' even with a
valid org token. The unit tests could not catch this: they invoked the
functions directly, which is exactly the gap they left open.
- cli.py session startup now calls maybe_pull_org_skills() alongside the
personal maybe_pull_skills(), fail-quiet.
- Auto-pull is gated on real org membership: resolve_org_identity()
requires an org role on the token, only issued for multi-member orgs,
so a solo account never reaches the network.
- `hermes sync pull` refreshes the org mirror too (one pull, both
surfaces) and reports what it refreshed.
- `hermes sync status` exposes org_available/org_id/org_role/org_skills
plus a plain-language summary, so a user can tell whether the org
workflow applies instead of it being invisible.
2. INTERNAL JARGON LEAKED TO USERS. Help text and errors exposed internal
milestone/spec coordinates: 'Propose a skill ... (M2)', 'Personal skill
sync (HSP/1)', 'DEV-PHASE gate closed: your token lacks
tool_gateway_admin', 'contract §4.3', and an inert message describing our
internal personal-vs-multi-member design split. All rewritten in user
language. Feature-local comments/docstrings lost their internal
coordinates (§N, M1/M2, design.md, PR numbers) while keeping the
explanatory prose. Pre-existing issue references elsewhere in the tree
were deliberately left untouched.
Tests: 4 new guards, including two that assert the CALL SITES exist so the
org pull cannot silently become dead code again (verified failing when the
wiring is removed) and one that fails if user-facing help leaks jargon.
344 passed across the sync/skills/prompt suites.
Verified against live staging with a real org token: sync status reports
org_available=true, org_role=OWNER; sync pull performs the org refresh; the
.active_org marker is written with the org id from the token.
flattenSessionsWithBranches always re-sorted roots by last_active, so a
turn finishing floated background tasks over the hand-picked Pinned list
even though $pinnedSessionIds already stored drag order. preserveOrder
skips that sort for pins (and other non-date-grouped manual lists); default
recents stay recency-sorted for truthful date buckets.
