ChatGPT Work's Aug 25 2026 release lets scheduled tasks fire from app
events (new Gmail message, Slack activity, GitHub PR feedback) instead
of polling on a cadence. This ports the pattern by composing two
existing Hermes subsystems: a webhook route can now set cron_job to
fire an existing cron job on each inbound event.
- gateway/platforms/webhook.py: cron_job route mode — after the same
HMAC auth / rate limit / filters / script / idempotency as agent
routes, the rendered prompt becomes transient per-run context and the
job fires through execute_job_for_event on a worker thread (202
Accepted immediately). Startup validation rejects cron_job +
deliver_only.
- tools/cronjob_tools.py: execute_job_for_event() — public wrapper over
the shared claimed-run body (_execute_job_now), so event fires share
at-most-once claiming, in-flight dedupe, delivery, and [SILENT]
handling with scheduler and manual runs.
- hermes webhook subscribe --cron-job: creates event-trigger
subscriptions; job ref validated (and canonicalized to the job ID) at
create time.
- Docs: webhooks.md route table + Event-Triggered Cron Jobs section,
cron.md capability list, zh-Hans mirrors.
- Tests: tests/gateway/test_webhook_cron_trigger.py (adapter + unit),
CLI tests in test_webhook_cli.py.
The salvaged flag was spelled --profile, which collides with the global
-p/--profile that hermes_cli.main scans BEFORE argparse: `hermes webhook
subscribe x --profile compta` would switch this CLI process to compta's
HERMES_HOME and write the subscription into compta's webhook_subscriptions.json
— a file the default gateway's webhook adapter never reads — while the route
still lacked the profile key. #109020 special-cased the scanner for the webhook
subcommand; naming the flag --route-profile removes the ambiguity without
touching _scan_profile_flag: -p picks the gateway whose subscriptions file is
written, --route-profile picks which /p/<profile>/ prefix may hit the route.
Docs: cli-commands reference row, multi-profile-gateways webhook section, the
route `profile` field. Builds on #109020 (fangliquanflq). Fixes#109016.
Batch extraction of every remaining subcommand whose handler is top-level and
whose parser block is pure argparse: model, setup, postinstall, whatsapp, slack,
login, logout, auth, status, webhook, hooks, doctor, security, dump, debug,
backup, import, config, version, update, uninstall, dashboard, gui, logs,
prompt-size.
Each becomes hermes_cli/subcommands/<name>.py with build_<name>_parser() and an
injected handler (no main import). dashboard also injects cmd_dashboard_register
for its nested 'register' action.
Behavior-neutral: all 25 subcommands' --help output (and nested subaction help)
diff-verified byte-identical to pre-extraction. Two RawDescriptionHelpFormatter
epilogs (debug, logs) needed their multi-line string interiors preserved at
column 0 — caught by the --help diff, not compile.
main() 3297 -> 1798 LOC across this PR; add_parser calls in main.py 179 -> 89.
Validation: tests/hermes_cli/ 6476 passed / 0 failed under per-file process
isolation; new test_subcommands_batch.py smoke-tests all 25 builders + the
dashboard two-handler case.
