* fix(desktop): keep the pre-session model pick selected in the picker
The composer picker derived its "current" row from `model.options ?? store`,
so model.options always won. Pre-session that query returns the PROFILE
DEFAULT, not the sticky composer pick — so selecting a model before a session
exists left the checkmark (and the picker's "current" line) on the default,
making the pick look ignored even though the pill updated.
Add `currentPickerSelection()`: with a live session the gateway's model.options
is authoritative; pre-session the sticky `$currentModel`/`$currentProvider`
wins, falling back to options. Wire it into ModelMenuPanel and ModelPickerDialog.
* feat(desktop): global reasoning/speed defaults in Settings → Model
The composer picker is now sticky-UI/per-session only and never writes the
profile default (#46959), but Settings → Model had no reasoning/speed control
and `agent.reasoning_effort` wasn't in the curated config surface at all
(`service_tier` was buried in Advanced) — so there was nowhere to set the
profile default that crons/subagents/messaging resolve from.
Add capability-gated Reasoning (effort) + Fast controls beside the main model,
gated by the applied model's reported capabilities (reasoning defaults on, fast
off when unreported — same as the composer). They read/write `agent.reasoning_effort`
and `agent.service_tier` by round-tripping the config record, matching the
gateway's value semantics (service_tier "fast"/"priority"/"on" ⇒ fast).
* refactor(desktop): don't open the reasoning select from its row label
A <label> wrapping the Select forwarded text clicks to the trigger, opening
the dropdown unexpectedly. Plain row for reasoning; Fast stays a <label> so
clicking its text toggles the switch (expected for a checkbox-like control).
External providers (Claude Code) store creds outside Hermes, so the
disconnect API refuses them. The backend now hands the GUI a per-OS
`disconnect_command` that clears the credential the same way the CLI's
logout does (macOS Keychain entry + ~/.claude/.credentials.json), and
the misleading "use claude setup-token" hint is corrected.
Settings → Providers offers a Disconnect button for these: it confirms,
leaves Settings, and runs the removal command in the embedded terminal
via a new runInTerminal() (queues onto $terminalInjection; the terminal
pane flushes and clears it once its session is live). The expanded list
also gets its own "Other providers" header so it no longer reads as
grouped under "Connected". API-managed providers keep the one-click
(trash) disconnect.
The turn-end sound is a notification concern, not an appearance one — relocate
the variant picker + preview from the Appearance tab to the Notifications tab
(its i18n keys move from settings.appearance to settings.notifications with it).
Adds a native OS notification system (Electron Notification, routed cross-OS)
distinct from the in-app toast feed. Before this, one hardcoded cue existed
(message.complete while document.hidden) with no settings or event coverage.
- Engine (store/native-notifications.ts): localStorage-backed prefs (master
switch + per-kind toggles) and a gated dispatcher over five kinds — approval,
input, turnDone, turnError, backgroundDone — with a 1s per-(kind,session)
self-evicting throttle.
- Gating: "backgrounded" = document.hidden OR !document.hasFocus(), so an
alt-tabbed window still counts as away. Completion kinds fire only when
backgrounded and for the active session (no spam from a busy gateway);
attention kinds (approval/input) also break through for off-screen sessions.
- Wired into real event sites (use-message-stream.ts): message.complete, error,
approval/clarify/sudo/secret.request; backgroundDone from composer-status at
the running -> exited transition.
- Click focuses the window and jumps to the originating session; approval
notifications carry Approve/Reject buttons that resolve in place over
approval.respond, mirroring the in-app Run/Reject bar.
- Settings: new Notifications panel (master + per-kind switches, test button
with real OS-result feedback). Full i18n (en/ja/zh/zh-hant).
* feat(desktop): add curated completion sound bank for turn completion
Replace the prior haptic-only completion cue with a curated Web Audio completion sound flow, defaulting to the minimal two-note comfort preset while keeping alternate presets available for quick iteration. Play the cue on every message completion event (including background sessions) so turn-end feedback is consistent across active and non-active chats.
* refactor(desktop): drop done1 byte sample from completion bank
Keep the curated Web Audio presets only; the embedded sample added bulk without shipping as the default cue.
* feat(desktop): expand completion sounds and add Appearance picker
Add fourteen synthesized turn-end presets with preview in settings, persisted variant selection, and softer default mixing for late-night use.

* refactor(desktop): dedupe completion-sound resolver, trim audio comments
Make the store the single source of truth for the variant default + range
validation and have the sound lib import it (one-way lib→store edge, no
cycle), instead of two divergent copies. Extract the shared white-noise
buffer used by the air/whoosh voices and cut the synth comments down to
why-only notes.

A see-through-window control (0–100, off by default) that maps to the
native window opacity via setOpacity — the desktop shows through the whole
window, the same effect as the Windows shift-scroll trick. macOS + Windows;
a no-op on Linux (no runtime window opacity).
Renderer owns the value (persisted, nanostore) and mirrors it to the main
process over IPC; main persists it to translucency.json so a cold launch
applies it at window creation before the renderer reports in.
The desktop "Local / custom endpoint" onboarding never collected an API
key and /api/model/set silently dropped one, so an auth-gated endpoint
(e.g. a hosted vLLM behind a key) could never enumerate models — and
Settings' "Set up custom endpoint" routed `custom` into a non-existent
OAuth flow, booting the user back to the first screen (the reported loop).
Backend (web_server.py):
- /api/providers/validate accepts an optional api_key and sends it as a
Bearer header when probing a custom endpoint's /v1/models.
- /api/model/set accepts api_key, persists it to model.api_key (same
switch/preserve lifecycle as base_url), and registers a named
custom_providers entry via _save_custom_provider — matching the
`hermes model` CLI flow so the endpoint shows up as a ready picker row.
Desktop:
- ApiKeyForm shows an optional API key field for the local/custom option;
the key is threaded through saveOnboardingLocalEndpoint → validate +
setModelAssignment.
- New onboarding `localEndpoint` intent + startManualLocalEndpoint(); the
Settings "Set up custom endpoint" button now opens the local-endpoint
form (URL + key) instead of the OAuth dead-end.
- Added localApiKeyPlaceholder i18n key (en + types + zh).
Tests: api_key lifecycle on _apply_main_model_assignment, key persistence
+ custom_providers registration on /api/model/set, Bearer-header probe;
onboarding store forwards + persists the key.
* fix(desktop): honor default project directory for new sessions
The Settings picker persisted project-dir.json but the renderer kept
seeding new chats from sticky localStorage home. Prefer the configured
default on boot and session.create, pin TERMINAL_CWD at backend spawn,
and reject packaged install-dir paths that regressed after #37536.

* fix(desktop): address review on default project dir PR
Add workspace cwd precedence tests, extract isPackagedInstallPath for
platform test coverage, and stop rewriting live $currentCwd when a
session is already active (cache-only until the next new chat).

Browse + install color themes from the VS Code Marketplace straight from
Cmd-K and Settings → Appearance. The Electron main process resolves the
extension, unzips the .vsix with a hand-rolled zip reader (zlib only, no
new deps), and hands back the raw theme JSON; the renderer converts it to
a DesktopTheme with a small seed → color-mix mapping.
- Folds an extension's light + dark variants into one theme family, so the
light/dark toggle switches Solarized/GitHub variants and installing in
dark mode stays dark.
- Guarantees accent contrast (WCAG AA) so imported sidebar labels read
instead of vanishing into the surface.
- Filters icon/product-icon packs out of the Themes-category search.
- "Install theme…" lives atop the Cmd-K theme picker; imports fold into
the Light/Dark groups by the modes they support.
* feat(desktop): assignable themes per profile
The desktop skin was a single global preference, so every profile shared
one look. Make the theme assignment per profile: picking a theme assigns it
to the profile that's currently live, and switching profiles paints that
profile's own skin. A profile with no assignment inherits the global default,
so single-profile installs and existing setups are unchanged.
- themes/context.tsx: per-profile skin record in localStorage; ThemeProvider
follows $activeGatewayProfile; boot paint uses the last active profile's
theme to avoid a flash on a non-default relaunch; setTheme assigns to the
live profile (default profile also seeds the legacy global fallback).
- settings/appearance-settings.tsx: caption noting the theme is saved per
profile, shown only when more than one profile exists.
- i18n: themeProfileNote string across en/zh/zh-hant/ja.
- themes/profile-theme.test.ts: resolution + inheritance coverage.
* feat(desktop): make light/dark mode per profile too
The command palette / theme picker sets skin + mode together on each pick,
so leaving mode global meant a profile couldn't actually remember the full
look it was given (e.g. "Ember Dark" in one profile would render Ember Light
if another profile last flipped the global mode). Mirror the per-profile skin
record for light/dark mode: ThemeProvider resolves and applies the active
profile's mode on switch, the boot paint uses it, and setMode assigns to the
live profile (default profile also seeds the legacy global mode fallback).
* refactor(desktop): collapse per-profile skin/mode into one helper
Skin and mode were near-identical resolve/assign pairs with hand-rolled
try/catch around localStorage. Fold both into a single profilePref<T>
factory (resolve + assign, default profile seeds the legacy global) and
lean on storedString/persistString for the error-swallowing. Tests go
table-driven over both prefs since they share one contract. No behavior
change; -89 LOC.
* refactor(desktop): treat default profile as the global slot directly
"default" isn't a real profile — it is the legacy global value. Stop
double-writing (record['default'] + global) on assign; route default
straight to the global. resolve is unchanged: a profile with no record
entry already falls back to the global, so default reads it for free.
* feat(desktop): surface TTS/STT/terminal backends as Settings dropdowns
Every native tool backend that the agent supports now shows up as a
clickable picker in the desktop Settings UI instead of a free-text box.
Desktop Settings renders a config field as a <Select> only if its dotpath
is a key in ENUM_OPTIONS (helpers.ts::enumOptionsFor returns undefined ->
free-text <Input> otherwise). Three backend-selector fields were surfaced
in their sections but missing from the map, so users had to hand-type the
provider name and could reasonably assume it was unsupported:
- tts.provider — now lists all built-in TTS backends incl. xai (Grok)
- stt.provider — local/groq/openai/mistral/elevenlabs
- terminal.backend — local/docker/singularity/modal/daytona/ssh
Each list is kept in sync with its backend source of truth (TTS:
agent/tts_registry.py::_BUILTIN_NAMES + tools/tts_tool.py; STT + terminal:
hermes_cli/config.py / tools/terminal_tool.py). The existing
enumOptionsFor current-value-append keeps any hand-typed/legacy value
selected, and command-type TTS providers still work.
Reported for Grok/xAI TTS, which was already a fully-wired built-in
provider (tts.provider: xai + XAI_API_KEY) with no picker entry.
* feat(desktop): expose per-backend TTS/STT/terminal config fields in Settings
Completes the backend-coverage pass: not just the provider PICKER but every
backend's own config fields are now tunable from desktop Settings, so a user
who picks (e.g.) Grok TTS can also set its voice/language without hand-editing
config.yaml.
Also fixes the STT provider dropdown: added 'xai' (Grok STT), which the
transcription dispatcher (tools/transcription_tools.py) handles but the
config.py comment had omitted — the dispatch ladder is the source of truth.
New Settings fields (Voice section):
- TTS xai (voice_id, language), minimax (model, voice_id), mistral
(model, voice_id), gemini (model, voice), neutts (model, device),
kittentts (model, voice), piper (voice)
- STT openai (model), groq (model), mistral (model)
New Settings fields (Advanced section):
- terminal docker_image / singularity_image / modal_image / daytona_image
New ENUM_OPTIONS dropdowns: stt.provider (+xai), stt.openai.model,
stt.mistral.model, tts.openai.model, tts.elevenlabs.model_id,
tts.neutts.device. Each list mirrors the backend generator's accepted values
(tools/tts_tool.py, tools/transcription_tools.py, hermes_cli/config.py).
i18n: FIELD_LABELS/FIELD_DESCRIPTIONS cover all locales via the English
fallback in config-settings.tsx; added native translations to ja/zh/zh-hant.
Secrets (provider API keys, modal/daytona tokens, ssh host/key) intentionally
stay in Settings -> Keys as env vars, not duplicated as config fields.
Complete the desktop app's tool-backend configuration so it fully
mirrors `hermes tools`. The toolset config panel already did
enable/disable, provider selection, and API-key save/reveal/clear — the
one remaining gap was post-setup install hooks, which previously just
told the user to run the CLI.
Now a provider that declares a post_setup hook (browser Chromium,
Camofox, cua-driver, KittenTTS/Piper, ddgs, Spotify, Langfuse, xAI)
renders a 'Run setup' button that spawns the install via the
`POST /api/tools/toolsets/{name}/post-setup` endpoint and tails the
log inline, feeding the desktop activity rail — mirroring
command-center's runSystemAction poll loop. On completion the panel
refreshes so a now-installed backend reports itself ready.
- hermes.ts: runToolsetPostSetup(name, key) -> profile-scoped POST.
- toolset-config-panel.tsx: PostSetupRunner sub-component (Run setup
button + inline live log + activity-rail upsert + unmount guard),
replacing the CLI-only placeholder.
- i18n: replace the orphaned `toolsets.postSetup` (CLI redirect) string
with proper post-setup UI keys (hint / run / running / starting /
complete / error / failed) across en, ja, zh, zh-hant + types.
- test: post-setup run+poll+log-tail coverage; mock additions for
runToolsetPostSetup/getActionStatus/activity store.
Works against local AND remote backends: all calls route through the
desktop's single `hermes:api` IPC handler to connection.baseUrl, so a
connected remote configures the remote host's tools (keys -> remote
.env, install runs on the remote). Relies on the post-setup endpoint +
'hermes tools post-setup' CLI shipped in #40418.
Verification: tsc -b clean (all 5 locales), eslint clean (the lone
exhaustive-deps warning is pre-existing on origin/main), vitest 4/5
(new post-setup test passes; the failing 'saves an API key' test fails
identically on origin/main — pre-existing EnvVarActionsMenu drift).
* feat: uninstall the Chat GUI without removing the agent (CLI + desktop UI)
Adds a GUI-only uninstall path so people can remove the desktop Chat GUI
while keeping the Hermes agent + their config/sessions/.env, and surfaces
the three CLI uninstall modes inside the desktop app's Settings → About.
CLI:
- New hermes_cli/gui_uninstall.py: cross-platform discovery + removal of the
desktop GUI's artifacts (source-built dist/release/node_modules + build
stamp, the packaged app bundle, and the Electron userData dir) on Linux,
macOS, and Windows. Never touches the agent source, venv, or user data.
- `hermes uninstall --gui` removes only the Chat GUI; `--gui-summary` prints a
JSON install snapshot (used by the desktop UI to gate options + detect a
missing agent for a future lite client).
- `hermes uninstall --yes` / `--full --yes` now run non-interactively, sharing
the destructive sequence via a new _perform_uninstall() helper. The keep-data
and full flows also sweep the GUI artifacts.
Desktop:
- electron/desktop-uninstall.cjs: pure helpers mapping each mode (gui/lite/full)
to CLI flags, resolving the running app bundle per OS, and building the
detached cleanup script that waits for the app to exit, runs the Python
uninstall, and removes the bundle.
- IPC hermes:uninstall:summary / :run, preload bridge, and types.
- Settings → About "Danger zone" with the three options; agent-removing
options hide when no local agent is detected.
Tests: tests/hermes_cli/test_gui_uninstall.py (22 pass with the existing
uninstall tests), electron/desktop-uninstall.test.cjs (17 pass, wired into
test:desktop:platforms). Docs: desktop.md "Uninstalling" + cli-commands.md.
* fix(desktop): tear down backend process tree before GUI uninstall (Windows lock safety)
The desktop uninstall cleanup script waited only on the desktop app's own
PID, but a backend grandchild (gateway / pty terminal / hermes REPL) can
outlive it and keep hermes.exe + venv files mandatory-locked on Windows —
making the script's rmdir half-fail and leaving a partial install, the same
failure class as the self-update path's #37532.
- main.cjs: runDesktopUninstall now awaits releaseBackendLock() before
spawning the cleanup script — tree-kills every backend PID the desktop owns
(primary + pool) via taskkill /T /F and polls the venv shim until unlocked.
Extracted the shared core out of releaseBackendLockForUpdate so both the
update hand-off and the uninstaller use the identical, incident-hardened
teardown. No-op on macOS/Linux (no mandatory locks).
- desktop-uninstall.cjs: Windows cleanup script removes the bundle via a
bounded rmdir retry loop (10x, 1s) instead of a single rmdir, since Windows
releases directory handles lazily even after the holding process exits.
- Dropped a fragile tasklist|findstr reap-by-path attempt; the Electron-side
tree-kill-by-PID is the reliable mechanism.
Tests: desktop-uninstall.test.cjs updated for the retry-loop output (17 pass).
* fix(desktop): address review on GUI uninstall (venv self-delete, gates, wait-loop)
Resolves @OutThisLife's review on #40355:
1. full mode now gated on agent presence (needsAgent: true). It removes the
agent + user data, so on a lite client with no local agent it's hidden
like lite — no more offering to remove an agent that isn't there.
2. (Finding 3, the real bug) lite/full no longer rmtree the venv from the
venv's OWN python. On Windows a running python.exe is mandatory-locked, so
that half-fails. New lightweight 'python -m hermes_cli.uninstall --mode X'
entrypoint (stdlib-only imports) lets the desktop run agent-removing modes
under the SYSTEM python (findSystemPython) with PYTHONPATH=<agentRoot>, so
import hermes_cli resolves from source while the venv is torn down. Falls
back to venv python + logs when no system python (gui-only unaffected).
3. Windows wait-loop is now bounded (60 tries, matching POSIX) and matches the
PID as a whole space-delimited token via findstr (no substring 99->990
trap, no redundant bare find). set HERMES_HOME/PID/PYTHONPATH now quoted.
4. Renamed the misleading 'returns null for dev run' test — the dev-run safety
is shouldRemoveAppBundle(isPackaged=false), which the test now asserts.
Docs: note that --gui on a source checkout also sweeps node_modules/build
output. Tests: 18 python + 19 desktop pass.
* fix(desktop): unify dialog/overlay buttons on shared Button component
Replace raw <button> action/text controls across the modal layer (boot
failure, install, update, onboarding, clarify, model-visibility,
notifications, gateway menu) with the shared Button + its variants
(text / ghost / icon-xs). Drops the bespoke square-cornered styling so
every dialog matches the app's slightly-rounded button system, and
swaps clarify-tool's hardcoded "Skip" for the existing i18n string.
* feat(desktop): add dev-only dialog gallery for auditing overlays
A code-split, DEV-gated harness (toggle ⌘/Ctrl+Alt+Shift+D) that triggers
every dialog/overlay so their buttons can be eyeballed in one place:
store-driven overlays (boot failure, updates, notifications, sudo/secret)
plus in-place dialogs (confirm, profile create/rename, attach-url, model
picker/visibility, clarify, tool approval). Never ships to production.
* fix(desktop): use Ctrl+Shift+D for dialog gallery (mac-friendly)
The Cmd/Ctrl+Alt+Shift+D chord is impractical on macOS (Option mangles
the keypress). Ctrl+Shift+D is the same chord on every platform and uses
neither Cmd nor Option.
* fix(desktop): stop overriding button icon size to size-4
Action buttons hardcoded size-4 icons, overriding the Button component's
built-in size-3.5. That extra 2px is why boot-failure / onboarding / gateway
buttons looked chunkier than the settings "Apply" (size-3.5 spinner) despite
being the same component+size. Drop the overrides so icons inherit 3.5.
* feat(desktop): add BrandMark, use it in the updates overlay hero
New BrandMark renders the white logo.png on a hardcoded brand-blue tile
(#0000F2 light / #222 dark), replacing the generic Sparkles hero glyph in
the "update available" overlay. Trying it here first to iterate on the look.
NOTE: apps/desktop/public/logo.png is currently a 1x1 placeholder — the tile
renders now; the glyph appears once the real white logo art is dropped in.
* feat(desktop): add real logo.png asset, render it white in BrandMark
logo.png is blue line-art on transparent, so force it white via filter to
read on both the brand-blue (#0000F2) and near-black (#222) tiles. Bump the
glyph to 62% of the tile for the portrait aspect.
* fix(desktop): BrandMark renders logo as-is, no light bg/radius/padding
Drop the white filter, the hardcoded light-mode blue tile, the radius, and
the inner padding. Logo now fills the tile over a transparent surface in
light mode; dark keeps the #222 tile.
* fix(desktop): bump updates-overlay BrandMark to size-16
* feat(desktop): use downscaled karb.webp in BrandMark
Swap the BrandMark glyph to karb.webp, downscaled from 1129x1418/888KB to
254x320/81KB for the hero badge.
* feat(desktop): use nous-girl mark in BrandMark, invert in dark
Key the white background to transparent so only the black line-art remains
(384px/20KB webp). Light mode shows black art; dark mode flips it white via
dark:invert on the #222 tile. Drop the now-unused karb.webp and logo.png.
* fix(desktop): BrandMark uses nous-girl as-is (no transparent/invert)
The dark-mode invert read as a creepy negative. Use the opaque black-on-white
mark unchanged in both themes; drop the white-key, dark:invert, and #222 tile.
* fix(desktop): give BrandMark an explicit white bg tile
* fix(desktop): use nous-girl.jpg directly in BrandMark
* perf(desktop): downscale nous-girl.jpg to 256x256 (466KB -> 19KB)
* style(desktop): bump nous light --theme-secondary to 14% blue
* fix(desktop): outline button is transparent, not chrome-filled
The outline variant used bg-background (the chrome color), so on cards/overlays
with a different surface it rendered as an odd gray-blue fill (visible on the
boot overlay's Repair install / Use local gateway). Make it bg-transparent so
it inherits the surface like a real outline. Reverts the unrelated
--theme-secondary tweak.
* fix(desktop): clean outline button — thin border, no shadow/fill
Drop shadow-xs and the resting fills (light chrome bg, dark bg-input/30) so
outline is just a thin clean border with a subtle hover, in both themes.
* fix(desktop): stop forcing tertiary bg on outline buttons
A global [data-variant='outline'] rule set background: var(--ui-bg-tertiary),
which (attribute-selector specificity) overrode the cva bg-transparent — so
outline buttons always showed the pale tertiary fill on cards/overlays
regardless of the variant classes. Scope that fill to secondary only; outline
is now a true transparent border.
* style(desktop): unified overlay design system + restore #38631 flat-UI
Overlays/dialogs/toasts share a custom shadow-nous (downward-weighted) and
--stroke-nous hairline instead of hard borders: boot-failure, install,
notifications, model-picker, onboarding, prompt-overlays, updates, Dialog.
- button: outline is a 1px inset ring (no fill/shadow); chrome lives in Button
- BrandMark: 256px nous-girl mark replaces sparkle glyphs (updates/onboarding/about)
- onboarding: conditional header, lemniscate-bloom loaders, OTP device-code boxes,
NOUS CONNECTED hero (ascii decode) + cuneiform easter egg, "Begin" matrix exit
- shared LogView + ErrorState; math/ascii loaders over "Loading..." text
- appearance-settings flattened to SegmentedControl/ListRow; keybind-panel on
shadow-nous + text-variant reset
- restore flat-UI clobbered by #38631's stale-squash (4a1907bd1): command-center,
profiles, skills, messaging, cron de-boxed; shared SearchField + PAGE_INSET_X;
profiles back on OverlaySplitLayout; skills tabs+search one row, no row dividers
* refactor(desktop): clean pass — drop dead code, dedupe, fix stale docs
- log-view: drop unused `bare` prop + forwardRef (no caller uses ref)
- install-overlay: drop `stateOverride` (only the removed dev gallery used it)
- profiles: ProfilesViewProps down to { onClose } (drop vestigial section/titlebar)
- onboarding: hoist shared PROVIDER_ROW_CLASS (was duplicated 2x)
- brand-mark / error-state: tighten comments, fix stale AlertCircle reference
* feat(desktop): surface every provider + models from `hermes model` in the GUI
The desktop GUI's model/provider choices were starved relative to the
`hermes model` CLI. Onboarding listed ~8 providers, Settings → Model only
showed authenticated ones, because the global `/api/model/options` endpoint
called build_models_payload() without the full-universe flags the TUI's
model.options JSON-RPC already used.
- web_server.py: `/api/model/options` now passes include_unconfigured +
picker_hints + canonical_order (matching the TUI handler), so every GUI
surface fed by it sees all 37 canonical providers with auth hints.
- Settings → Model: provider dropdown lists every provider; picking an
unconfigured api_key provider shows an inline 'paste key → Activate' flow
(auto-selects the recommended default); OAuth/external route to onboarding.
- Onboarding: the API-key form is now driven by the full provider catalog
(curated five first, then the rest), not a hand-maintained list of five.
- types/hermes.ts: ModelOptionProvider gains authenticated/auth_type/key_env.
- Tests: model-settings covers the full-universe list + inline activation;
fixed a pre-existing stale assertion (nous / hermes-4 was never rendered).
* feat(desktop): /model in GUI chat opens the model picker instead of a dead-end notice
Typing /model in a desktop chat session printed "/model uses the desktop
model picker instead of a slash command" and did nothing — it never opened
the picker. (The slash worker can't render the prompt_toolkit modal /model
opens in the CLI, so the desktop just showed the unavailable-notice.)
- use-prompt-actions.ts: intercept /model client-side. No args → open the
desktop model picker overlay (setModelPickerOpen) — the same full
provider+model picker as the status-bar button. With args (/model <name>
[--provider ...]) → run the switch directly via slash.exec so power users
can still type it.
- desktop-slash-commands.ts: export isModelPickerCommand() so the hook can
detect picker-owned commands without duplicating the PICKER_OWNED_COMMANDS set.
- Test: covers isModelPickerCommand for /model (+ args) vs non-picker commands.
* fix(desktop): make onboarding provider lists scrollable + clean up card styling
The full-catalog onboarding picker could overflow the modal with no way to
scroll — the OAuth provider list and the api-key grid both grew past the
viewport, hiding the key input and the bottom action row (overflow-hidden card,
no scroll container).
- Scope a `max-h-[60dvh] overflow-y-auto` region to just the provider list /
api-key card grid; the "other providers" disclosure, key input, and action
row stay pinned and reachable.
- Inner `p-1` so card borders / focus rings aren't clipped by the scroll viewport.
- Flatter card styling: drop the persistent border, the redundant selected-state
checkmark, and the modal shadow — selection now reads from the ring alone (the
muted "already configured" check stays).
- Remove the " — set up" suffix from the Settings → Model provider dropdown; the
inline setup flow already signals unconfigured providers.
* fix(desktop): identify api-key onboarding cards by env var, not id
Selecting "Google Gemini" also highlighted "Google AI Studio": the curated
catalog and the backend-derived providers can collide on `id` (a provider slug
can equal a curated id like `gemini`), so `option.id === o.id` matched two
cards at once. Key selection (and the React key + snap-back effect) on `envKey`
instead, which the catalog dedups and is therefore unique per card.

Switching the main model never touches auxiliary slot pins (they're
independent, sticky per-task overrides). A user who switches main away
from a now-unpaid provider keeps paying 402s on every background aux call
until they manually reset those pins — silently, with no UI signal.
- /api/model/set scope:'main' now returns stale_aux: slots still pinned
to a provider different from the new main (additive field).
- Desktop Model Settings shows a switch-time notice after Apply AND a
persistent banner when any loaded aux slot mismatches the main provider,
both wired to the existing 'Reset all to main' action.
- Never auto-clears pins — a dedicated cheaper aux model is a legitimate
config; surface-and-offer instead of nuking.
- Fixes a stale pre-existing assertion in the panel test (main model now
renders via selectors, not a standalone label).
Introduce a lightweight React context-based i18n layer for the desktop
app and translate the UI into Simplified Chinese.
- New apps/desktop/src/i18n module: typed Translations interface, en + zh
locale tables, I18nProvider/useI18n, localStorage-persisted locale
(defaults to English), and language endonym metadata for the picker.
- Wire I18nProvider at the app root in main.tsx.
- Refactor 24 desktop screens/components to read strings from the `t`
object instead of hard-coded English.
- Add a unit test for the i18n context.
Follow-up to the read-routing fix: make remote-profile sessions fully
first-class, not just resumable.
Mutations (rename/archive/delete) went through the same hermes:api handler but
never carried the owning profile, so they hit the local primary's state.db --
which has no row for a remote session. Deleting/archiving/renaming a remote
session silently no-op'd or 404'd, and the row reappeared on next refresh.
- hermes.ts: setSessionArchived/deleteSession/renameSession take the owning
profile and pass it as request.profile so Electron routes to that profile's
backend (matching the read path). Callers now forward session.profile.
- main.cjs: generalize the intercept (read -> request) to also reroute
DELETE/PATCH on /api/sessions/{id} for remote profiles, stripping the profile
param (the remote serves its own state.db; no cross-profile semantics there).
- web_server.py: DELETE /api/sessions/{id} gains a profile param for parity with
GET/PATCH (local cross-profile delete).
Also fix the unified-list merge: it concatenated each remote's page onto the
primary's without re-windowing, so a limit=N request could return up to
N*(1+remotes) rows and report the primary's (stale) total. Now it over-fetches
limit+offset from each remote (from offset 0), re-sorts by recency, re-windows
to the page, and recomputes total/profile_totals from the remote counts.
Verified live against a remote backend: rename/archive/delete mutate the remote
db; page 1 windows to limit, profile_totals reflect remote counts, page 2 has no
overlap with page 1. tsc -b clean; connection-config tests pass.
* feat(desktop): per-profile remote gateway hosts
Profile switching silently failed whenever the desktop was connected to a
remote backend: the rail routed non-active profiles to a local pool backend,
but spawnPoolBackend hard-threw "Profiles are unavailable when connected to a
remote Hermes backend", and the renderer swallowed the error into an infinite
reconnect backoff while still marking the profile active. Remote was also a
single app-global setting, so there was no way to give a profile its own host.
Add per-profile remote hosts so each profile can point at its own backend:
- connection.json gains a validated `profiles` map; profileRemoteOverride()
(pure, unit-tested) selects an explicit per-profile remote.
- resolveRemoteBackend(profile) precedence: per-profile override → env override
→ global remote → local spawn. spawnPoolBackend now connects to a profile's
remote (no local child) instead of throwing; startHermes resolves the primary
profile's remote.
- coerce/sanitize connection config are scope-aware (global vs named profile)
and preserve each other's entries; IPC get/save/apply/test thread an optional
profile. Per-profile apply drops only that profile's pool backend.
- Settings → Gateway adds an "Applies to" scope selector reusing the existing
URL/token/OAuth/test UX per profile.
Tests: connection-config pure suite (+6) and desktop platform suite pass;
tsc/eslint/vitest clean.
* refactor(desktop): DRY per-profile remote helpers
Share connectionScopeKey + normAuthMode from connection-config.cjs (drop the
main.cjs copy), collapse the scope/auth ternaries, route the env remote through
buildRemoteConnection, and fold the duplicated remote-block validation into
buildRemoteBlock. No behavior change; pure suite + live E2E still green.
* Revert "fix(update): require managed marker before destructive clean"
This reverts commit c8e80cd0bf.
* Revert "fix(update): stop stash/restore from clobbering desktop source on managed clones (#38542)"
This reverts commit 8a19884bf3.
* chore(install): keep npm ci desktop-build fix after stash revert
The destructive-clean reverts (#38542/#39568) pulled the desktop
workspace install back to bare `npm install`. The npm ci -> npm install
fallback is orthogonal build-correctness (avoids the Windows
workspace-hoisting flake where install reports up-to-date against a
stale marker while node_modules is empty, breaking tsc -b). Preserve it.
* feat(update): settable stash-or-discard for non-interactive local changes
Adds updates.non_interactive_local_changes (stash | discard, default
stash). Governs ONLY non-interactive updates (desktop/chat app, gateway,
--yes) — interactive terminal updates always stash-and-ask, unchanged.
- config.py: new key under existing updates section; _config_version 26->27.
- main.py: _cmd_update_impl detects non-interactive (gateway/--yes/no-TTY),
reads the setting; new _discard_stashed_changes() drops the stash
(stash-and-drop, never reset --hard/clean -fd, so ignored paths survive).
Post-pull restore site branches on it; the bail-out and up-to-date
restores always preserve work.
- web_server.py + apps/desktop settings: exposes it as a stash/discard
select (Advanced section, In-App Update Local Changes).
- docs + tests (discard drops, stash restores, interactive ignores setting,
missing section defaults to stash).
* fix(install.ps1): stash/restore instead of reset --hard on Windows update
The PR reverted the destructive update path to stash/restore everywhere
except scripts/install.ps1, whose managed-clone update path still ran
`git reset --hard HEAD` before checkout — silently destroying agent-edited
tracked source on Windows (the same #38542 data-loss class the PR fixes).
- Replace `git reset --hard HEAD` with stash-before-checkout +
restore-after-checkout, mirroring install.sh. Untracked files are
included so agent-created dirs (e.g. tinker-atropos/) survive.
- Keep `core.autocrlf false` (it prevents the phantom CRLF dirt that made
the stash necessary; it's also load-bearing for a clean restore).
- Wrap all three checkout modes (Commit/Tag/Branch); Branch case now uses
`git pull --ff-only` so local commits are never clobbered.
- Only prompt to restore when a real console is attached (UserInteractive
+ non-redirected stdin/stdout + ConsoleHost); the desktop Update button
and bootstrap have no usable console, so they default to restore and
never hang on Read-Host.
- On restore conflict or a failed update, the stash is preserved with
recovery instructions — work is never silently dropped.
Validated on Windows (PowerShell 5.1, git 2.54): AST parse clean;
E2E non-conflicting restore applies+drops cleanly with ignored paths
(node_modules) untouched; conflicting restore preserves the stash.

Resolve conflicts in desktop settings/cron/messaging/sidebar: adopt main's
ListRow + actions-menu refactors for credential rows; keep our profileColor
import on the sidebar. Drop the now-orphaned Tip-based helpers.
Add first-class profile support to the desktop app without app reloads.
- Swap the single live gateway onto a session's profile lazily (spawned on
demand by the Electron backend pool), so one backend serves the active
profile and others stay cold — no OOM with many profiles.
- Aggregate sessions across profiles by reading each profile's state.db
read-only; unified "All profiles" view groups sessions per profile with
per-profile pagination, while the default view stays scoped to one profile.
- Add an Arc-style profile rail at the sidebar foot: a default<->all toggle
pinned left, colored named-profile squares scrolling between, Manage pinned
right. Profile identity is a deterministic per-name color.
- Route profile-scoped REST (config/env/skills/tools/model) to the active
gateway profile and invalidate React Query caches on swap. Single-profile
users never trigger a swap, so their path is unchanged.
Backend:
- web_server: profile-aware active/list endpoints + per-profile session
totals; hermes_state: session_count(exclude_children); main.py: honor
--profile over HERMES_HOME env for pooled backends.
UI primitives:
- Add a position-aware Tip tooltip (instant, themed) as a drop-in for native
title=, and strip redundant tooltips from self-descriptive chrome.
Surface the username/password dashboard-auth provider in Hermes Desktop's
remote-gateway connect flow. A password gateway gates the same way an OAuth
one does (auth_required + session cookie + ws-ticket), so the desktop already
drives it through the existing sign-in window; the only gaps were that the
probe dropped supports_password and the UI always said "OAuth".
- main.cjs: capture supports_password from /api/auth/providers in the probe.
- global.d.ts: add optional supportsPassword to DesktopAuthProvider.
- gateway-settings.tsx: derive isPasswordProvider; render a plain "Sign in"
button + "username and password" copy instead of an OAuth provider label
when every advertised provider is password-based. Login still flows through
the gateway's /login credential form (POST /auth/password-login).
The remote-gateway settings rendered the session-token box for every gateway
during the idle/probing window before the first /api/status probe lands,
because authMode defaults to 'token'. Gate both the OAuth sign-in button and
the token box behind an authResolved flag so neither renders until the probe
resolves the scheme (or a previously-saved remote config is being re-shown,
so re-opening settings doesn't flicker).
The gateway-side WS Origin fix that lets the packaged desktop (file:// origin)
connect to an OAuth-gated remote gateway landed separately in #37870; this
branch is now purely the desktop client + this UI fix.
The desktop remote-gateway settings now auto-detect whether a gateway
authenticates with OAuth or a static session token and present the
matching UI + connection mechanism.
Detection: an unauthenticated GET {base}/api/status reads auth_required
(true => OAuth, false => session token); /api/auth/providers supplies the
provider label. The settings UI debounce-probes the entered URL and shows
either a 'Sign in with <provider>' button or the session-token box.
OAuth connection mechanism:
- REST is authed by the HttpOnly session cookie held in a persistent
Electron session partition (persist:hermes-remote-oauth); main-process
REST routes through electron net bound to that partition so the cookie
attaches automatically.
- Login opens a BrowserWindow on {base}/login in that partition and
resolves once the hermes_session_at cookie lands.
- WebSocket upgrades use a single-use ?ticket= minted at
POST /api/auth/ws-ticket (the gateway rejects ?token= in gated mode);
getGatewayWsUrl() re-mints before every (re)connect since tickets are
single-use and short-lived.
- Missing cookie / 401 surfaces needsOauthLogin to prompt re-sign-in
(Nous Portal contract v1 issues no refresh token).
Local and token modes are unchanged.
Pure helpers (URL normalize, ws-url token/ticket builders, auth-mode
classify/resolve, cookie detector) are extracted to a standalone
connection-config.cjs (no electron import) and unit-tested with
node --test (26 tests), matching the backend-probes.cjs pattern.
* feat(desktop): dedicated Providers settings with Accounts/API-keys subnav
Rework provider configuration in the desktop app into its own Providers
page that mirrors the first-run onboarding picker, instead of burying
provider keys in the generic Tools & Keys list.
- Add a Providers settings page (providers-settings.tsx) reusing the
onboarding picker cards/ApiKeyForm so the two surfaces stay identical
- Add a sidebar subnav (Accounts vs API keys) backed by a deep-linkable
`pview` URL param; nested OverlayNavItem variant for a lighter active
state so children don't compete with the parent item
- Scope provider search to the active sub-view in its native card format
(no more accordion fallback); collapse the API-key grid to the top
providers behind a "Show all" toggle to cut scrolling
- Launch real in-app OAuth from settings via startManualProviderOAuth;
fix the misleading red "reason" banner that showed during an active
connect (neutral style, hidden during a flow, omitted for direct
per-provider launches)
- Expand PROVIDER_GROUPS and add longest-prefix matching so providers
like xAI/Ollama group correctly instead of landing under "Other"
- Drop redundant messaging API keys from Tools & Keys (channel_managed)

* feat(desktop): Cursor-style provider key list with inline inputs
Replace the card-grid API-key form on the Providers page with a
per-provider list (mirrors Cursor's API keys section):
- One row per vendor with its primary key input inline; rows with extra
vars (base URL, region, alt tokens) expand to reveal those on focus
- Set keys show their redacted value as the placeholder; Save appears on
edit, Remove on a set key
- Hide redundant alias key fields (e.g. ANTHROPIC_TOKEN vs
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY) unless already set, and label set aliases by env var
name so they're unambiguous
- Smaller mono input text + compact height

* style(desktop): flatten providers settings UI chrome
Tighten the providers settings surface to match the newer desktop style:
remove extra card rails/borders in API-key rows, reduce visual noise in the
providers subnav, replace bespoke link-like controls with shared text-button
variants, and improve key input readability.
* feat(desktop): rework providers settings UI
- Flatten the shared OAuth picker rows (accounts + onboarding): drop the
rounded-2xl/border cards for flat hover-bg rows; Nous hero keeps a subtle
tint plus an animated blue→purple arc border.
- Key fields collapse to a single input: a set key reads read-only (redacted)
and edits in place on focus/click — no Replace/Cancel chrome. Save on type,
Esc cancels (without closing the overlay), "Remove or esc to cancel" hint.
- Non-key overrides render boxless, content-sized (field-sizing) and
right-anchored; advanced fields align under the primary key column.
- Add `xs` control size; size fields via padding (no fixed heights).
- Cards expand on key-input focus; chevron shows on hover/expanded; expanded
state uses a ring + softer bg tier so hover ≠ focus.
- Relocate "Get a key" to the bottom-right of the expanded panel; drop the
redundant provider description.
- Cmd+K: add Providers (accounts) and Provider API keys deep-links.
* fix(desktop): flatten provider fields, drop input shadows, fix Cmd+K provider rank
- KeyField: collapse to one stacked label-above-input form field (drop the
bespoke `naked`/inline/column branches); empty advanced overrides fade until
hover/focus/set
- styles: kill the resting + focus drop shadow on shared input chrome so form
inputs sit flat (composer keeps its own shadow)
- Cmd+K: drop stray `providers` keyword from Skills & Tools so the Providers
settings entry ranks first for "provider"
* fix(desktop): nous portal arc blue → orange
* fix(desktop): rank appearance above settings in Cmd+K

- Sidebar toggles in the titlebar no longer carry an active highlight —
they're plain show/hide affordances now.
- Replace every bespoke rounded-full status pill (cron, messaging,
settings, skills) with the shared Badge (adds a `warn` tone). App radius,
one component.
- Cron row actions use Codicons (play/debug-pause/zap/edit/trash) to match
the rest of the chrome instead of stray lucide glyphs.
Builds on the clarify/needs-input work with a cross-cutting pass to make
the desktop surfaces feel like one app.
- Global Cmd+K command palette (cmdk): nav, settings deep-links, async
API-key / MCP-server / archived-session groups, reusable theme sub-page
(light/dark groups, stays open on pick), loop nav, fuzzy match. Replaces
per-page settings search.
- Shared SearchField: borderless, underline-on-focus, `field-sizing`
auto-width. Unifies sessions sidebar, pages, overlays, command center,
cron; drops bespoke OverlaySearchInput.
- Cron & Profiles converted to OverlayView; flat token-driven panels
(no card-in-card / divider borders) matching command center.
- `r` refresh hotkey via useRefreshHotkey; drop the visible refresh buttons.
- Button text/textStrong link variants applied across settings & views;
shared PAGE_INSET_X content gutters.
- Math/ascii loaders replace "Loading…" text placeholders; x-icon close
over text "Close"; cursor-pointer at the dropdown/select primitive level.
Add an xs size variant to the Switch primitive and use it for the provider
edit submenu toggles. In appearance settings, drop the redundant selection
Pills (the UI already shows the active choice), move the Color Mode and Tool
Call Display segmented controls into the section header's right side
(responsive: stacks under the heading on narrow widths), and shrink the
segmented control.
Replace the vertical option-row lists with a compact SegmentedControl
(grouped pill buttons on a single track), dropping the per-option
descriptions since the section subtitle already covers the context.
Add a base-layer rule giving every interactive control (button, select,
menu item, switch, tab, summary) cursor:pointer, and strip the now-redundant
hardcoded cursor-pointer from those elements (plain clickable divs/labels
keep theirs). Remove the divide-y separators from settings list sections so
they breathe.
Color Mode and Tool Call Display become flat radio-style rows (no tile
border/fill, no inner icon box, no filled check badge — just a subtle active
bg and a check). Theme drops its outer card wrapper so only the preview
swatch shows, with a primary ring marking the active palette.
Remove the outer card chrome (border/bg/shadow/rounded) wrapping each
appearance section so they're flat headings + option grids instead of
boxes nested inside boxes, matching the other settings pages.
Mirror the buttonVariants exercise for non-composer form controls: add a
single controlVariants source of truth (2.5px radius, 12px text,
padding-driven sizing, chrome via desktop-input-chrome) and consume it from
Input, Textarea, and SelectTrigger. Drop per-call radius/height/font
overrides that fought the shared look.
