Hermes already identifies itself on outbound calls to model providers
and monitoring endpoints — see hermes_cli/models.py and
plugins/model-providers/gmi/__init__.py
("Attribution so GMI can identify traffic from Hermes Agent"). The
Slack adapter is the one outbound surface that doesn't carry the
same identifier, so HermesAgent-driven Slack traffic is
indistinguishable from any other Bolt-Python app at the Slack
platform layer.
This sets `user_agent_prefix=f"HermesAgent/{_HERMES_VERSION}"` on the
AsyncWebClient instances constructed in gateway/platforms/slack.py
and threads them through AsyncApp via its `client` kwarg. Both
kwargs are first-class in slack-sdk and slack-bolt; no new
dependencies. Resulting header looks like:
HermesAgent/<version> Python/3.x slackclient/3.x ...
No behavioral change for users — the Slack API ignores User-Agent
semantically; it lands in logs and analytics. Reversible.
Tests in tests/gateway/test_slack.py:
- TestSlackUserAgent pins the prefix shape and runs connect()
end-to-end (multi-token config) to assert every AsyncWebClient
carries the prefix and AsyncApp receives the pre-built client.
- TestSlackProxyBehavior fakes updated to tolerate the new kwargs
via **_kwargs so they don't break on future passthroughs.
