fix(agent): repair empty-name tool_calls in sanitizer to prevent Responses 400 (salvage #12807/#52893) (#55922)
* fix(agent): drop tool_calls with empty function.name to prevent orphan 400 Salvage of #12807 by @melonboy312 — rebased onto current main (sanitizer moved to agent_runtime_helpers), scoped to the sanitizer fix, with a regression test that fails without it. * fix(agent): repair (not drop) empty-name tool_calls to preserve anti-priming + prevent 400 Dropping empty-name tool_calls in the pre-call sanitizer collided with #47967, which intentionally keeps an empty-name call paired with a synthesized 'tool name was empty' anti-priming result so weak models self-correct without a full catalog dump. Dropping the call orphaned that result and stripped the signal (breaking tests/agent/test_empty_tool_name_loop_dampening.py). The actual HTTP 400 cause is an ORPHANED function_call_output (adapter drops the empty-name function_call but keeps its output). Rename the blank name to a non-empty sentinel instead: the call and its result stay paired, the adapter no longer drops the function_call, no orphan, no 400 — and the anti-priming result content the model needs is preserved. --------- Co-authored-by: Bartok9 <danielrpike9@gmail.com> |

fix(copilot): recognize enterprise subdomains in host checks
The earlier enterprise base URL change (proxy-ep parsing) gave us URLs
like `api.enterprise.githubcopilot.com`, but ~15 host-matching call
sites still hard-coded `api.githubcopilot.com`. Enterprise users would
therefore drop the `Copilot-Integration-Id: vscode-chat` header at
client-build time, and upstream rejected requests with:
The requested model is not available for integrator "zed"
(or "copilot-language-server") — verify the correct
Copilot-Integration-Id header is being sent.
The header was correct in copilot_default_headers(); it just never
made it into default_headers for non-default hostnames because every
detector compared against the exact string "api.githubcopilot.com".
This commit broadens all those checks to "githubcopilot.com" via
base_url_host_matches (which already does proper subdomain matching),
so api.enterprise.githubcopilot.com, api.business.githubcopilot.com,
etc. all share the same headers, vision routing, max_completion_tokens
selection, and reasoning-effort detection as the default endpoint.
Also adds ".githubcopilot.com" to _URL_TO_PROVIDER so context-window
resolution via models.dev works for enterprise base URLs, and tightens
_is_github_copilot_url to use suffix matching instead of strict equality.
Tests:
- New: enterprise Copilot endpoint preserves Copilot-Integration-Id
- New: enterprise endpoint returns max_completion_tokens (not max_tokens)
- Existing 333 base_url / copilot / aux-client / credential-pool tests pass
Parts 5 of #7731.

fix(security): wire session-id sanitizer into artifact paths + API boundary
Defense-in-depth on top of _safe_session_filename_component (#5958): Sink (makes the bad write impossible regardless of entry point): - run_agent._save_session_log: sanitize session_id before building the session_{sid}.json snapshot path. - agent_runtime_helpers.dump_api_request_debug: sanitize before building the request_dump_{sid}_{ts}.json path. Boundary (clean 400 instead of a silently-hashed filename): - api_server rejects path-traversal-shaped X-Hermes-Session-Id on the session-continuation path and the explicit /api/sessions create path, reusing gateway.session._is_path_unsafe (mirrors the native gateway's entry-boundary guard). Also enforces the session-header length cap on the continuation path. Tests: traversal session_id stays contained at the write site; sanitizer always yields a traversal-free segment; the API header rejects ../, absolute, and Windows-traversal IDs with 400. |

fix(anthropic): stop SDK auto-retry double-firing and raise Retry-After cap to 600s
The Anthropic SDK clients were built without max_retries, so the SDK default (max_retries=2) retried 429/5xx with its own backoff that ignores Retry-After — double-retrying inside hermes's outer loop and burning request slots against a bucket that won't refill for minutes. Set max_retries=0 on all Anthropic/AnthropicBedrock client constructions so the outer conversation loop (which already honors Retry-After) owns retry. Also raise the Retry-After cap in the conversation loop from 120s to 600s. Anthropic Tier 1 input-token buckets reset in ~171s, so the 120s cap made hermes retry before the reset window and re-trip the limit. Refs #26293 |

fix(agent): cap same-entry credential refreshes so fallback can activate (#26080)
A persistent upstream 401 on a single-entry OAuth pool (common for Claude Max subscribers) made the credential-pool recovery spin forever: try_refresh_current() re-mints a fresh token and reports success on every 401, so recover_with_credential_pool returned True and the retry loop continue'd without ever incrementing retry_count or reaching the auth-failover block. The configured fallback_model never activated and the agent appeared to hang. Cap consecutive successful same-entry refreshes (keyed by provider + pool-entry id) at 2; once exceeded, treat the credential as unrecoverable and return not-recovered so the loop falls through to _try_activate_fallback. The 429/billing paths already rotate-or-fall-through correctly (mark_exhausted_and_rotate returns None on a single entry), so only the auth-refresh branch needed the cap.

fix(agent): also treat provider=ollama as an Ollama GLM backend
Follow-up to the #13971 fix: a genuine native Ollama provider reached through a reverse proxy carries no ollama/:11434 URL signature, so the restricted detection would miss it. Add provider=="ollama" as an explicit True case (idea from #14789, @Tranquil-Flow) and cover both it and the #13971 LiteLLM-proxy-to-zai false-positive with E2E tests. |

fix(browser): force secret-pattern redaction on browser_type display
Force redact_sensitive_text(force=True) on the browser_type text arg so recognized credentials (API keys, tokens, JWTs) are masked in tool progress, previews, callbacks, and return payloads even when the global security.redact_secrets opt-out is set — a typed credential reaching chat history is a security boundary, not log hygiene. Normal typed text matches no pattern and stays fully readable for debuggability. Tests assert the API-key-shaped secret is masked across every surface and that normal text passes through unchanged. |

fix(interrupt): keep partial streamed reply when stopped mid-response
Stopping a turn while the model is streaming (stop/esc to redirect) raised InterruptedError, set final_response to the throwaway "waiting for model response" sentinel, and persisted messages WITHOUT the assistant text that was already streamed to the screen. The next turn then had no record of the half-finished reply, so the model appeared to "forget" what it just said. Recover the on-screen text from _current_streamed_assistant_text in the InterruptedError branch and append it as the assistant turn (and surface it as final_response). The metadata sentinel is kept only when nothing was streamed yet, preserving the ACP/client suppression behavior. Completes the partial-stream recovery from |

refactor(memory): move write-mirror gating behind MemoryManager interface
The success/staged gating and op-expansion for mirroring built-in memory writes to external providers lived in a standalone agent/memory_write_bridge.py helper called inline from two core call sites (tool_executor.py, agent_runtime_helpers.py). That left the mirror decision-making in the agent loop, outside the memory-provider interface. Fold it into a new MemoryManager.notify_memory_tool_write() entry point: the loop now hands over the raw tool result + args and a metadata callback, and the manager decides whether/what to mirror. Both core call sites collapse to a single call; the orphan module is removed. No MemoryProvider ABC change. Tests rewritten as behavior tests against the manager method. |

fix(openviking): gate memory writes and add viking_forget
Mirror built-in memory writes to external providers only after the native memory tool succeeds and is not staged for approval. Keep OpenViking's built-in memory mirroring add-only, since Hermes native memory entries do not yet have stable OpenViking file URIs for replace/remove. Add a narrow viking_forget tool for exact user memory file deletion and document the current OpenViking write/delete behavior. |

fix(agent): strip stale reasoning_content when falling back to a strict provider (#50480)
* fix(agent): strip stale reasoning_content when falling back to a strict provider
A reasoning primary (DeepSeek/Kimi/MiMo thinking mode) pins reasoning_content
on every assistant tool-call turn (a single space " " pad). api_messages is
built once under the primary; on a mid-session fallback to a strict
OpenAI-compatible provider (Mistral, Cerebras, Groq, SambaNova), those stale
pads were replayed verbatim and rejected with HTTP 400/422:
body.messages.2.assistant.reasoning_content: Extra inputs are not
permitted (input: ' ')
reapply_reasoning_echo_for_provider() only ever ADDED pads, so it never
reconciled history built under a reasoning primary against a strict fallback.
copy_reasoning_content_for_api() also leaked empty-string and 'reasoning'-only
shapes to non-pad providers.
Fix both sites: when the active provider does not enforce echo-back, strip
reasoning_content (empty, space-pad, or non-empty) entirely. Re-padding when
switching TO a reasoning provider is preserved. Covers the Cerebras 400 from
#45655 and the DeepSeek->Mistral 422 fallback report.
Refs #45655.
* test: update reasoning-replay tests for strict-provider stripping
test_explicit_reasoning_content_beats_normalized_reasoning_on_replay was
implicitly running on the OpenRouter fixture (non-pad); pin it to a reasoning
provider so the precedence it checks is observable. Add a positive
strict-provider test asserting reasoning_content is stripped on replay.

fix(agent): surface model refusals instead of retrying them as errors
A Claude refusal (HTTP 200, stop_reason="refusal", empty content) was laundered into a generic retry loop and surfaced as a misleading "rate limited / invalid response" or "no content after retries" error, burning paid attempts reproducing a deterministic refusal. This hit two distinct paths: - Direct Anthropic (anthropic_messages): validate_response rejected the empty-content refusal *before* normalize_response mapped refusal -> content_filter, so it fell into the invalid-response retry loop. - Nous Portal / OpenAI-compatible (chat_completions): the portal surfaces a Claude refusal via message.refusal with empty content, which sailed past validation and died in the empty-response retry loop. Fix (one unified content_filter dispatch for all backends): - AnthropicTransport.validate_response: accept empty content when stop_reason == "refusal" so it flows to normalize_response. - ChatCompletionsTransport.normalize_response: promote message.refusal to content + a content_filter finish reason. - conversation_loop: handle finish_reason == "content_filter" - fire the api_request_error hook (content_policy_blocked), try a configured fallback once, else return a clear terminal refusal message. Never retry a deterministic refusal. Supersedes #43084, which fixed only the direct-Anthropic path and could not reach the chat_completions/portal path. Tests: transport-level (validate_response refusal, message.refusal promotion) + end-to-end loop (refusal surfaced, exactly one API call).

fix(params): send max_completion_tokens for newer OpenAI families on custom endpoints
Third-party OpenAI-compatible endpoints (self-hosted gateways, OpenRouter,
Azure proxies) fronting gpt-4o / gpt-4.1 / gpt-5+ / o1-o4 models silently
received max_tokens and 400'd with unsupported_parameter, because the three
kwarg-selection sites only checked base_url_hostname(...) == "api.openai.com"
and fell through to max_tokens on every other host. The constraint is
enforced server-side by the model family, not by the URL, so name-based
detection is required as a fallback.
Changes:
- utils.py: new shared helper model_forces_max_completion_tokens(model) that
prefix-matches gpt-4o, gpt-4.1, gpt-5, o1, o3, o4 families on normalized
(lowercased, vendor-prefix-stripped) names.
- run_agent.py: _max_tokens_param ORs the helper into the URL check.
- agent/auxiliary_client.py:
- auxiliary_max_tokens_param gains an optional keyword-only model arg.
- _build_call_kwargs inline branch applies the same check for both
provider == "custom" and non-custom paths.
Tests:
- tests/test_model_forces_max_completion_tokens.py: 31 new cases covering
positive families, negatives (classic gpt-4, claude, llama, mistral, qwen,
deepseek), vendor prefixes, case-insensitivity, whitespace, None/empty,
and substring-not-prefix guards.
- tests/run_agent/test_run_agent.py::TestMaxTokensParam: 5 new model-based
cases (custom + gpt-5.4, openrouter + gpt-4o-mini, custom + o1-preview,
classic gpt-4-turbo keeps max_tokens, llama3 keeps max_tokens).
- tests/agent/test_auxiliary_client.py::TestAuxiliaryMaxTokensParam: new
class, 7 tests covering the URL x model matrix.

test(run_agent): fix racy ordering in test_concurrent_handles_tool_error (#42356)
The test keyed the 'which call raises' decision on a shared invocation counter (first call → raise, second → success), then asserted the error landed in messages[0] (c1) and success in messages[1] (c2). But _execute_tool_calls_concurrent runs the two web_search calls on a thread pool with no ordering guarantee — c2's handler can be invoked first, take the 'first call raises' branch, and the error ends up in messages[1]. Results are ordered by tool_call_id, so messages[0] (c1) was then 'success' and the assertion failed. It passed in isolation but reliably failed under CI's full parallel slice (8 xdist workers) where the scheduler actually interleaves the two handlers. Fix: tie the raise to a specific tool call via its arguments (q=boom raises, q=ok succeeds) instead of invocation order, and assert tool_call_id ↔ content pairing explicitly. Deterministic regardless of thread scheduling — verified 10/10 in isolation and the full TestConcurrentToolExecution class (32) green. |

fix(stream): don't report dropped mid-tool-call streams as output truncation (#42314)
* fix(stream): don't report dropped mid-tool-call streams as output truncation
A streaming tool call whose SSE ends with no finish_reason (the upstream
delivers the tool name + opening '{' then closes the connection cleanly,
no terminator, no [DONE]) was stamped finish_reason='length' by the mock
builder. That routed it through the output-cap truncation path: 3 useless
max_tokens-boosted retries, then the misleading 'Response truncated due to
output length limit' error — even though the model never reported hitting
any cap.
Reproduced live on nvidia/nemotron-3-ultra:free via the Nous dedicated
endpoint, which stalls/drops during large tool-arg generation (50s-4m41s).
Now: when tool args are incomplete AND the provider sent no finish_reason,
tag the response as a partial-stream stub so the loop reports an honest
mid-tool-call drop and asks the model to chunk its output (existing
continuation machinery), instead of escalating output budget and lying.
A provider-reported finish_reason='length' still takes the real-truncation
path unchanged.
* test(stream): update truncated-tool-args test for drop-vs-cap split
test_truncated_tool_call_args_upgrade_finish_reason_to_length pinned the
old behaviour where ANY incomplete tool args → finish_reason='length' with
tool_calls preserved. That single-chunk-no-finish_reason scenario is exactly
the mid-tool-call stream drop now reclassified as a partial-stream stub.
Split into two tests matching the new contract:
- no finish_reason + incomplete args → PARTIAL_STREAM_STUB_ID, tool_calls=None,
_dropped_tool_names set (the drop path)
- explicit finish_reason='length' + incomplete args → tool_calls preserved,
'length' upgrade unchanged (the genuine output-cap path)

refactor(agent): extract run_conversation prologue into agent/turn_context.py
Phase 1 of the god-file decomposition plan. run_conversation's ~470-line once-per-turn setup block (stdio guarding, retry-counter resets, user-message sanitization, todo/nudge hydration, system-prompt restore-or-build, crash-resilience persistence, preflight compression, the pre_llm_call hook, and external-memory prefetch) is moved verbatim into build_turn_context(), which returns a TurnContext dataclass the loop unpacks. Behavior-neutral move-and-name refactor: the builder mutates `agent` exactly as the inline code did; only the locals the loop reads back are returned. - run_conversation: 4602 -> 4217 LOC (-385) - agent/conversation_loop.py: 4965 -> ~4580 LOC - new agent/turn_context.py: focused, dependency-injected, unit-tested in isolation Tests: tests/run_agent/ 1570 passed / 0 failed under per-file process isolation. Relocation follow-ups: 413_compression mocks now patch both module references; nudge/on_turn_start source-inspection guards point at the extracted module. |

fix(agent): import SimpleNamespace for hook payload sanitization
_hook_jsonable() referenced SimpleNamespace without importing it, so sanitizing any hook payload that contained one raised NameError: name 'SimpleNamespace' is not defined. Bedrock, Codex-responses, and the auxiliary client build their response / message / tool_call objects as SimpleNamespace and hand the raw objects to the post_api_request hook. The hook call sites swallow exceptions (except Exception: pass), so the crash silently dropped the observability hook for those providers. Add the missing `from types import SimpleNamespace` and a regression test covering the SimpleNamespace sanitization path. |

fix(gemini): default native maxOutputTokens + strip OpenAI extra_body on Gemini endpoints (#39730)
* fix: respect disabled auto-compaction on context overflow Port from anomalyco/opencode#30749. When compression.enabled is false, NO automatic compaction trigger may fire. The proactive token-threshold paths (preflight + post-response should_compress gate) already honoured the setting, but the three provider-overflow recovery paths in the agent loop — long-context-tier 429, 413 payload-too-large, and context-overflow — called _compress_context() unconditionally, silently compressing and rotating the session against the user's explicit choice. Add a single guard at the top of the overflow-recovery dispatch: when compression is disabled and the error is one of those three overflow classes, surface a terminal error (compaction_disabled: True) telling the user to /compress manually, /new, switch to a larger-context model, or reduce attachments. Manual /compress (force=True) is unaffected — it never enters this loop. Tests: new TestOverflowWithCompactionDisabled (413 + 400 overflow don't compress when disabled; control case still compresses when enabled). Existing overflow-recovery tests updated to enable compaction explicitly (they verify the recovery fires); fixture defaults flipped to True to match production (compression.enabled defaults to True). * fix(gemini): default native maxOutputTokens + strip OpenAI extra_body on Gemini endpoints Two distinct failures hit users on the gemini provider with only Google AI Studio keys set. 1. Truncation loop: build_gemini_request() only set maxOutputTokens when max_tokens was non-None. Hermes passes None to mean "unlimited", but Gemini's native generateContent does NOT treat an absent maxOutputTokens as full budget — it applies a low internal default and stops early with finishReason=MAX_TOKENS, truncating tool calls. The agent then retries 3x and refuses the incomplete call. Now default to the published 65,535 ceiling (shared by all current Gemini text models) when max_tokens=None. 2. HTTP 400 on Gemini endpoint: the chat_completions transport assembles profile extra_body (Nous portal 'tags', reasoning, provider prefs) and sends it via the OpenAI client to whatever base_url is resolved. When a profile that emits extra_body (e.g. Nous) is active but the endpoint is a native Gemini base_url — typical when only Google creds exist and a fallback/aux call lands on Gemini — Google rejects the unknown 'tags' field with a non-retryable 400. Strip all non-thinking_config extra_body keys when the resolved endpoint is native Gemini. Verified E2E against real transport code: tags stripped on native Gemini, preserved on Nous and the /openai compat endpoint; maxOutputTokens=65535 on None, explicit values respected. |

perf(observability): gate tool-hook emit on has_hook; slim per-tool footprint
The salvaged observer contract gated the API-request hot path on has_hook()
but left the per-tool emit ungated: every tool call ran result-field
derivation + payload dict build + invoke_hook dispatch even with zero
plugins registered.
- _emit_post_tool_call_hook now short-circuits on has_hook("post_tool_call")
and derives status/error fields lazily (after the gate, only when a
listener will consume them). status defaults to None -> derived; explicit
blocked/cancelled callers still pass status through.
- transform_tool_result emit (pre-existing hook) likewise gated on
has_hook(); skips _tool_result_observer_fields when no listener.
- Removed the now-redundant _tool_result_observer_fields pre-computation at
the three ok-path call sites (model_tools, agent_runtime_helpers,
tool_executor) — the helper derives them, so the no-listener path costs
one dict lookup and the call sites shrink.
- Tests: stub has_hook=True where payload correctness is asserted; add a
no-listener regression proving post_tool_call/transform_tool_result emit
is skipped when nothing is registered.

feat(observability): observer-grade telemetry hooks + NeMo-Relay plugin
Adds backend-neutral observer hooks for plugins: session, turn, API request, tool, approval, and subagent lifecycle events with stable correlation IDs (session_id, task_id, turn_id, api_request_id, tool_call_id, parent/child subagent ids). Extends VALID_HOOKS with api_request_error and subagent_start. Hot path is zero-cost when no plugin subscribes: has_hook()/presence checks gate all payload construction, request payloads are returned by reference when no middleware rewrites, and the sanitized response payload no longer embeds raw response objects. Bundles the optional NeMo-Relay observability plugin (plugins/observability/nemo_relay) as an in-repo consumer of the new hooks, peer to the existing langfuse plugin. Fails open when the optional nemo-relay package is not installed. Authored-by: Bryan Bednarski <bbednarski@nvidia.com> Salvaged from #29722 onto current main. |

fix(agent): stop reporting broken streams as output-length truncation (#36705)
A stream that drops mid-response after tokens are delivered (peer-closed connection, stale-stream reconnect) is converted into a synthetic finish_reason="length" stub. The conversation loop treated that network stall as a max-output-tokens truncation: when the dropped content was a tool call it retried exactly once, then hard-failed with "Response truncated due to output length limit" — even on large-output models that never hit any cap (e.g. Opus). - Tool-call truncation now retries up to 3 times (was 1) with a progressive max_tokens boost, and is stub-aware: a PARTIAL_STREAM_STUB_ID stall prints "Stream interrupted mid tool-call — retrying (n/3)" instead of the false "model hit max output tokens", and the give-up message distinguishes a network drop from a real truncation. - Length-continuation retries preserve the original request's output cap as a floor, so a high provider/model default isn't silently downshifted to 8K/12K on retry. - Added _requested_output_cap_from_api_kwargs() helper. Tests: stub-stall mid-tool-call recovery within 3 retries; continuation preserves a large provider-default output cap. Fixes #26425. Salvages the substance of #26427 (cap floor) and #9525 (retry bump), adapted to the post-refactor conversation_loop.py which handles all three api_modes uniformly.

Add Hermes desktop app (#20059)
* feat: better composer etc * docs: add desktop and dashboard run instructions * fix(desktop): address security scan findings * fix(dashboard): resolve @nous-research/ui path under npm workspaces The sync-assets prebuild step shelled out to 'cp -r node_modules/@nous-research/ui/dist/fonts ...' with a path relative to apps/dashboard/. That works only when the dep is installed locally in the dashboard workspace, but 'npm install' at the repo root (the documented setup — see apps/desktop/README.md) hoists shared deps to the root node_modules under npm workspaces. The relative cp then fails with 'No such file or directory', sync-assets exits 1, the Vite build aborts, and 'hermes dashboard' surfaces a generic 'Web UI build failed' message. Replace the shell one-liner with scripts/sync-assets.cjs, which walks up from the dashboard directory looking for node_modules/ @nous-research/ui — working in both the hoisted (workspaces) and co-located (standalone) layouts. Also guards against a missing dist/fonts or dist/assets with a clearer error pointing at a rebuild of the UI package rather than silently copying nothing. * feat(desktop): support connecting to a remote Hermes backend Add HERMES_DESKTOP_REMOTE_URL and HERMES_DESKTOP_REMOTE_TOKEN env vars that, when set, short-circuit the local-child spawn in startHermes() and connect the Electron renderer to an already- running 'hermes dashboard' server reachable over the network. Motivating use case: WSL2 users who want to run the Hermes core (agent loop, tools, filesystem access) inside their WSL distribution while rendering the Electron GUI on native Windows. Before this change, the desktop app always spawned a local Python child on the same host as the renderer, which doesn't cross the WSL/Windows boundary. The remote path reuses waitForHermes() as a liveness probe (/api/status is in the backend's public endpoint allowlist), so the connection is only returned once the backend is actually ready. WebSocket URL derivation picks ws:// or wss:// based on the input scheme. URL validation rejects non-http(s) schemes and requires both env vars together to avoid a half-configured connection that would silently fall through to the spawn path. No behaviour change when the env vars are unset — the default local-spawn flow is untouched. Typical usage: # in WSL2 hermes dashboard --tui --no-open --host 0.0.0.0 --port 9119 --insecure # on Windows set HERMES_DESKTOP_REMOTE_URL=http://localhost:9119 set HERMES_DESKTOP_REMOTE_TOKEN=<session token> set HERMES_DESKTOP_IGNORE_EXISTING=1 (launch Hermes desktop) * ci(desktop): automate desktop releases Add GitHub Actions release channels for signed desktop installers and document the stable/nightly download paths. * feat: file tabs * refactor(desktop): tighten right-rail tab close API Promote closeRightRailTab/closeActiveRightRailTab as the single public entry point. Drops the activeTabRef + handleCloseDocument indirection in ChatPreviewRail, the unused $rightRailHasContent atom, and the legacy dismissFilePreviewTarget alias. -70 LOC. * feat(desktop): polish composer pill toward reference look Solid foreground-on-background send/voice-conversation circle (black-on-white in light, white-on-black in dark) anchors the right edge as the primary CTA instead of the orange theme primary. Bumps the primary control to 2.125rem so it visually outranks the ghost mic/plus controls. Opens up the surface padding (0.625rem x / 0.5rem y) so the input row breathes around its controls, and nudges the corner radius from 20 to 24px for a slightly pill-ier silhouette. LiquidGlass distortion is preserved. * feat(desktop): add startup and onboarding flow Add phase-based desktop boot progress, fresh-install sandbox testing, and first-run provider credential onboarding so packaged installs can start cleanly without manual settings detours. * fix(desktop): gate prompts on provider setup Show the desktop provider onboarding flow before prompt submission when no inference provider is configured, preventing fresh installs from falling through to backend credential errors. * fix(desktop): surface provider onboarding from session warnings Propagate credential warnings through session runtime info and open desktop onboarding whenever a session reports no usable provider, so unconfigured installs cannot fall through to prompt errors. * fix(desktop): route gateway provider errors to onboarding The "No inference provider configured" auth error reaches the renderer through gateway error events, not the prompt.submit promise; the previous patch only caught the latter, so the error toast still surfaced and onboarding never opened. Also strip credential-shaped env vars from the test:desktop:fresh sandbox so the packaged backend can't see provider keys leaking from the launching shell. * fix(desktop): use strict runtime check to drive onboarding setup.status returned True whenever any provider auth state was discoverable, including indirect fallbacks like a gh-CLI Copilot token. That made desktop think the user was set up while the agent's actual resolve_runtime_provider call still raised AuthError, leaving the user with a useless toast and no onboarding. Add a setup.runtime_check gateway method that runs the same resolver the agent uses on session creation, and switch the desktop onboarding overlay and prompt precheck to use it. * feat(desktop): OAuth-first onboarding using existing dashboard provider API Replace the engineer-flavored API key form with a Sign-in-first onboarding overlay that uses the dashboard's existing /api/providers/oauth catalog and PKCE/device-code endpoints (Anthropic, Nous, OpenAI Codex, etc.). API key entry is now a fallback tab with friendly provider names instead of env var prefixes, and the loud raw resolver error is gone in favor of a one-line welcome message. * fix(desktop): polish onboarding provider list Reorder OAuth providers so Nous Portal is first, give the segmented Sign in / API key control equal column widths, and replace the engineer-flavored backend names like "Anthropic (Claude API)" / "MiniMax (OAuth)" with friendlier in-app titles. External-CLI providers now show a softer subtitle and an external-link icon instead of a chevron. * refactor(desktop): split onboarding overlay into store + view Move the OAuth state machine, runtime check, copy-to-clipboard, and api-key save into store/onboarding.ts (matching the boot.ts pattern), leaving the overlay as a presentation layer that subscribes via useStore. Tabs are now table-driven, child panels read flow from the store instead of prop-drilling, and the polling/PKCE/error/success branches share a small Status atom. * fix(desktop): external CLI providers + center mode tabs External-CLI providers (Claude Code, Qwen Code) now open an in-overlay panel with the CLI command, copy button, and an "I've signed in" recheck instead of firing an invisible toast. Center the Sign in / API key tab control so it sits under the heading instead of hugging the left edge. * fix(desktop): drop onboarding tabs for an inline link, group device-code waiting state Replace the Sign in / API key tab pair with an "I have an API key" footer link under the OAuth provider list, with a "Back to sign in" affordance inside the API key form. Group the device-code "Waiting for you to authorize..." status next to the Cancel button so the alignment matches the action. * refactor(desktop): tighten onboarding store + overlay Drop the dead isOnboardingBusy/BUSY set, factor the catch-fallback dance into safeReq, and share a single reloadAndConnect helper between PKCE submit, device-code success, external recheck, and api-key save. In the overlay, extract Step / CodeBlock / FlowFooter / CancelBtn / DocsLink atoms so the four sign-in panels share the same chrome instead of repeating it inline. Net effect: fewer literal divs, one place to touch the spacing, and the code-block + footer rows are reusable across future flows. * fix(desktop): mount onboarding from frame 1 to kill the FOUT Default onboarding.configured to null (unknown until the runtime check resolves) and have the onboarding overlay render whenever it's not yet confirmed true. The boot overlay now yields to it, so the very first paint is the Welcome card with a "While we get you set up..." progress strip instead of a flash of the chat shell between boot dismiss and onboarding mount. The picker swaps in cleanly once the gateway opens and the runtime check confirms the user is not configured. Already-configured users see the same prep card briefly while their existing runtime warms up, then the overlay dismisses without touching the chat shell. * fix(desktop): top-align empty sessions placeholder The "Start a chat to build your history." empty state used a min-h-35 grid place-items-center container, which floated the text in a tall dead zone. Render it as a flat paragraph that sits right under the section header like the empty pinned state does. * refactor(desktop): drop dead boot overlay Onboarding overlay subsumes the boot card now that it mounts from frame 1 and renders boot progress inline. The standalone DesktopBootOverlay is unreachable in every flow (yields whenever onboarding has not confirmed configured, dismisses once it has). * fix(desktop): hide pinned/recents sections until first session A fresh sidebar showed the Pinned and Recent chats headers with floating empty-state copy underneath. Drop both sections (and the now-orphan SidebarEmptySessionState) when there are no sessions yet — they reappear after the first chat. Skeletons during initial load are unchanged. * feat(gui): route embedded TUI through dashboard gateway (#21979) Inject HERMES_TUI_GATEWAY_URL into dashboard PTY sessions so embedded ui-tui instances attach to the in-process websocket gateway, with coverage for the new env wiring. * Add desktop remote gateway settings Make the desktop gateway connection configurable from settings so local remains the default while remote backends can be saved, tested, and applied without environment variables. * feat(gui): first-class Messaging page + gateway menu redesign - Add Messaging page to the desktop app with per-platform setup, status, and inline guidance. Catalog derives from gateway.config Platform enum + plugin registry, so every messaging adapter the CLI supports (Telegram, Discord, Slack, Mattermost, Matrix, WhatsApp, Signal, BlueBubbles, Home Assistant, Email, SMS, DingTalk, Feishu, WeCom, Weixin, QQ, Yuanbao, API server, Webhooks, plugins) shows up without per-platform code. - New REST endpoints: GET /api/messaging/platforms, PUT and POST /test on the same path. Secrets go through the existing .env pipeline; enable/disable writes config.yaml. - Replace gateway statusbar dropdown with a richer panel: status row, icon-only restart + system-panel actions, recent activity (with timestamps trimmed in display, full text on hover), platform list. - Auto-poll the messaging page every 6s (paused when hidden) so status updates without a manual check. - Drop Settings / Command Center from the sidebar nav (still reachable via shortcuts and the titlebar cog). - Flatten top corners on Messaging/Skills/Artifacts/Chat panes. - Share new StatusDot component across messaging + gateway menu. - Fix gateway/config.py so an explicit platforms.<name>.enabled=false in config.yaml is honored when env tokens are present. - pb-9 on the chat content area for breathing room above the composer. * Potential fix for pull request finding 'CodeQL / Clear-text logging of sensitive information' Co-authored-by: Copilot Autofix powered by AI <62310815+github-advanced-security[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> * pin electron version * hide application menu on non-mac systems * interpret compactPreview for non-string vlaues as JSON or an empty string * fix(desktop): keep composer contenteditable mounted across stacked toggle The composer rendered {input} inside two different parent fragments depending on `stacked`. When auto-expand flipped `stacked` (e.g. the moment typed text wrapped past two lines), React reconciled the two branches as different positions and unmounted/remounted the contenteditable. The fresh mount started empty, so any in-flight characters — most reliably reproduced by holding a key — were lost. Replace the conditional with a single CSS Grid whose template-areas swap on `stacked`. The three children (menu, input, controls) keep stable identities across the toggle; only their grid placement changes, which the browser handles without React tearing down the editor. * refactor(desktop): align install layout with install.ps1 / install.sh Make the desktop app's runtime layout match what scripts/install.ps1 and scripts/install.sh produce, so a desktop-only user and a CLI-only user end up with the same files in the same places and can share one install. Layout - ACTIVE_HERMES_ROOT = HERMES_HOME/hermes-agent (was: process.resourcesPath/hermes-agent, read-only) - VENV_ROOT = HERMES_HOME/hermes-agent/venv (was: userData/hermes-runtime) - desktop.log = HERMES_HOME/logs/desktop.log (was: userData/desktop.log) - HERMES_HOME default: %LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes on Windows, ~/.hermes elsewhere The packaged .app/.exe still ships a read-only payload at process.resourcesPath/hermes-agent (FACTORY_HERMES_ROOT). On first launch or after an installer-driven upgrade we sync factory -> active, then provision the venv and run pip install -e . against the active root. Key behaviors - Pin HERMES_HOME in the spawned Python's env so get_hermes_home() resolves to the same path resolveHermesHome() picked. Without this, Python falls back to ~/.hermes on every platform - fine on mac/linux, a split-state bug on Windows where our default is %LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes. - Detect developer installs by .git presence at ACTIVE; never overwrite a user's checkout via factory sync. - Marker at ACTIVE/.hermes-desktop-runtime.json (schema v4) tracks pyproject hash + factory version + runtime schema version. depsFresh fast-paths when nothing changed. - Dev (npm run dev) prefers SOURCE_REPO_ROOT over ACTIVE so devs run their local edits, not whatever's under HERMES_HOME. - Better error messages distinguish "no payload" from "no Python". - Preserve a legacy ~/.hermes on Windows when no %LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes exists, so users with prior pip/manual installs aren't orphaned. pyproject.toml - Promote fastapi, uvicorn[standard], ptyprocess (non-Windows), and pywinpty (Windows) to main dependencies. The dashboard backend (hermes dashboard) needs them at runtime; the previous lazy-import fallback was a footgun for fresh installs. - Empty the [pty] optional-extra; kept as a no-op back-compat alias for any existing pip install hermes-agent[pty] invocations. Drops the hardcoded BUNDLED_RUNTIME_REQUIREMENTS list in main.cjs - the desktop now installs whatever pyproject.toml says, single source of truth. Files - apps/desktop/electron/main.cjs: runtime layout, HERMES_HOME pin, factory->active sync, marker v4 - apps/desktop/scripts/test-desktop.mjs: track new venv location - apps/desktop/README.md: new Setup, Runtime Bootstrap, and Debugging sections - pyproject.toml: fastapi/uvicorn/pty backends in main dependencies; [pty] extra emptied Tested locally on Windows: npm run dev boots cleanly, sessions land at the new location, type-check + lint + test:desktop:platforms all pass. Verified end-to-end on a fresh Win11 VM via dist:win installer. Known gaps (filed as follow-ups, not in this PR): - Skills not seeded on packaged installs (sync_skills only runs in cmd_chat, not cmd_dashboard). Need to move to shared pre-dispatch. - Git Bash not bundled or detected; agent's terminal tool errors out with a useful message but desktop bootstrapper should pre-flight it. - install.ps1 / install.sh should be decomposed into composable phase libraries so the desktop bootstrapper can reuse them as a single source of truth across all install surfaces. * feat(desktop): theme polish, prose chat typography, composer chrome - DS tokens/midground, Backdrop, scoped scrollbars, typography plugin + prose - Composer liquid/radius utilities, thread font parity, tool/thinking cues - File tree label scale, preview flex, thread retry loading + streaming tests * feat(desktop): NSIS prereq detection page + auto-install via winget The packaged Windows installer now detects Python 3.11+ and Git for Windows at install time and offers to install missing prereqs via winget. Mirrors the prereq logic scripts/install.ps1 already runs for CLI installs, so desktop installer users get the same out-of-the-box experience as install.ps1 users. Why - Hermes' terminal tool calls bash.exe directly (tools/environments/ local.py); on Windows that's Git Bash from Git for Windows. Without it, the agent fails on the first terminal() call. - Hermes' Python runtime needs 3.11+. Without it, the desktop bootstrapper errors out at venv creation. - Both gaps surfaced on a fresh Windows 11 VM smoke test: VM had Python pre-installed but no Git, so the agent's first terminal call failed with "Git Bash isn't installed." - install.ps1 has had Install-Git + Install-Uv functions for ages. The desktop installer was the asymmetric outlier. How — NSIS prereq page - New file: apps/desktop/installer/prereq-check.nsh (plugged into electron-builder via build.nsis.include) - Real Wizard page using nsDialogs, inserted via customPageAfterChangeDir hook (between the Directory page and InstFiles). - Group boxes for Python and Git, each showing detection status. - Pre-checked install checkboxes when winget is available. - Auto-skips silently if both prereqs are already installed. - Falls back to manual download URLs when winget itself is missing. - Detection: - Python: probes `py -3.11`/`-3.12`/`-3.13`/`-3.14` via the Python launcher. Microsoft Store "Python stub" (no py.exe) is correctly classified as not-installed. - Git: `where git`. - winget: `where winget` (Win10 1809+ / Win11 with App Installer). - Install execution (in customInstall macro): - Python: nsExec::ExecToLog with `--scope user --silent`. Per-user install, no UAC prompt, output streams to install log. - Git: ExecShellWait via Windows ShellExecute. Critical because Git always installs per-machine and triggers UAC; ShellExecute preserves the foreground focus chain across non-elevated → elevated process spawns, so UAC actually comes to the foreground. nsExec::ExecToLog breaks the chain because winget runs hidden. - Both pass `--disable-interactivity --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements` to suppress winget's own dialogs. - Verification: probes Git's standard install locations via FileExists rather than `where git`. NSIS's process inherits PATH at startup, so a freshly-installed Git won't be visible to `where` until restart. - Silent installs (/S) skip the prompts; managed deploys handle prereqs out-of-band via Group Policy / Intune. How — Electron-side safety net - New findGitBash() in main.cjs, parallel to findSystemPython(). Probes the same locations as tools/environments/local.py:_find_bash() so a positive result here means the agent's terminal tool will work. - ensureRuntime now throws a clear, actionable error on Windows when Git Bash isn't found, matching the existing "Python 3.11+ is required" error path. - Catches users the NSIS page doesn't: .msi installer users (NSIS prereq page doesn't run for MSI), `npm run dev` users, manual installers, anyone who unchecked the install boxes on the NSIS prereq page. - All gated on `IS_WINDOWS`; macOS / Linux unaffected. NSIS build issue (resolved) - electron-builder defaults to `-WX` (warnings as errors). NSIS optimizer emits "warning 6010: function not referenced" for our page functions because Page custom directives don't count as references in its static-analysis pass. The functions ARE called at runtime when NSIS invokes the page; the optimizer just can't see it statically. - Set `build.nsis.warningsAsErrors=false` in package.json so this spurious warning doesn't fail the build. (Documented option from electron-builder's nsisOptions.) Out of scope (filed for future work) - MSI prereq detection: Windows Installer custom actions are a different mechanism. Enterprise deploys typically handle prereqs via GP/Intune. - Bundle PortableGit + python-build-standalone in extraResources for zero-network installs. ~80MB increase. - Mac / Linux GUI prereq flows (different installer formats; Xcode CLT covers most macOS prereqs already; Linux is per-distro hard). Files - apps/desktop/installer/prereq-check.nsh (new, ~290 lines NSIS) - apps/desktop/package.json (build.nsis.include + warningsAsErrors) - apps/desktop/electron/main.cjs (findGitBash + preflight) - apps/desktop/README.md (Runtime prerequisites section) Cross-platform impact - macOS / Linux builds (dist:mac, dist:mac:dmg, dist:mac:zip): nsis config is ignored entirely; .nsh is dormant. - npm run dev: .nsh dormant; main.cjs preflight gated on IS_WINDOWS. - scripts/install.ps1, scripts/install.sh: no reference to any new files; CLI install paths untouched. - Hermes CLI / dashboard / gateway: no reference; runtime untouched. - All checks: node --check on main.cjs and test-desktop.mjs pass; npm run test:desktop:platforms 4/4 passing; node --test green. Tested - npm run dist:win produces signed .exe and .msi without errors. - Fresh Win11 VM (Python pre-installed, no Git): prereq page renders, Python check shows detected, Git checkbox pre-checked. Click Next → Git installs via winget with UAC prompt in foreground. - After install completes, Hermes launches and the agent's terminal tool can run bash commands. Verified Git Bash is detected at `C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe` by ensureRuntime's preflight. * feat: theme changes, composer tweaks, in app update ux, finesse * fix(cli): seed bundled skills on dashboard + gateway entrypoints `sync_skills(quiet=True)` was only being called from inside `cmd_chat`, which meant `hermes dashboard` (the desktop GUI's backend) and `hermes gateway` (Telegram/Discord/Slack/etc daemons) never seeded the bundled skill library into ~/.hermes/skills/. This surfaced as "No skills found" in the desktop GUI's skills panel on fresh installs, despite the agent having access to the full bundled library when invoked via `hermes chat`. scripts/install.ps1 worked around it by running skills_sync.py as part of Copy-ConfigTemplates, but that's not part of the desktop installer's bootstrap chain. Fix - Extract the skills-sync block from cmd_chat into a module-level `_sync_bundled_skills_quietly()` helper. - Call the helper from cmd_chat (preserving existing behavior), cmd_dashboard (after the --status/--stop early-return paths and fastapi import check, so we don't run skills_sync on management commands or when deps aren't installed), and cmd_gateway. Why these three entrypoints - cmd_chat: the user's primary CLI entrypoint - cmd_dashboard: the desktop GUI's backend; this is what `hermes dashboard --tui` invokes when the desktop bootstrapper spawns Hermes - cmd_gateway: long-running daemons where the user expects the agent to have full skill access Other entrypoints (cmd_config, cmd_doctor, cmd_login, cmd_status, etc.) are management commands that don't need skill discovery and were never running skills_sync in the first place — leaving them alone. Idempotence - tools/skills_sync.py is manifest-based: skipped skills cost milliseconds. Calling it from multiple entrypoints adds no real cost, and users running `hermes chat` then `hermes dashboard` get two fast no-ops on the second call. Failure handling - Helper wraps skills_sync in try/except. Skills are an enhancement, not a hard dependency — Hermes runs fine with an empty skills/ dir. Files - hermes_cli/main.py: + new helper `_sync_bundled_skills_quietly()` at module level + cmd_chat: replace inline block with helper call + cmd_dashboard: add helper call after fastapi import succeeds + cmd_gateway: add helper call before delegating to gateway_command * feat(desktop): hoisted todo widget, JSON tool summaries, history grouping & timer fixes - Hoist todo to first-class widget (shadcn checkboxes, brand colors, no tool-accordion). Header derives label from active task; non-active rows fade. - Replace raw JSON dumps with structured key/value summaries via formatToolResultSummary; nested error extraction for clearer failures. - Fix loaded-session grouping: stitch interleaved assistant/tool iterations into one bubble instead of orphaned synthetic messages. - Stable tool/thinking timers via keyed registry so unmount/scroll doesn't reset elapsed counts; gate "running" on real live thread state. - Reorganize chat-only assistant-ui components under components/chat/. * fix(desktop): address CodeQL alerts on PR #20059 - settings/helpers.ts: harden setNested against prototype pollution. POLLUTING_PATH_PARTS check is now applied at every assignment site (loop + leaf) and uses Object.defineProperty so CodeQL can see the guard inline rather than via a helper function call. - lib/markdown-preprocess.ts: rebuild the dangling-fence close regex from a fence-char + length instead of marker.replace(...). The marker is captured by `(`{3,}|~{3,})` so it can only be backticks or tildes, but CodeQL was tracing tainted input text into the RegExp source and flagging hostname dots from input as part of the pattern (false positive js/incomplete-hostname-regexp on the test fixture URLs). Reconstructing from a literal char breaks the dataflow. - scripts/notarize-artifact.cjs: drop args from the run() rejection message. Args carry --key-id / --issuer / key file path; the existing outer catch already squashes errors to a generic line, but CodeQL was flagging the args.join(' ') as clear-text logging of APPLE_API_KEY_ID. Composer DOM-text-as-HTML alerts (composer/index.tsx:379, :547) are already addressed in 4dd9732a9 — innerHTML assignment was replaced with renderComposerContents which builds DOM via replaceChildren / append text nodes (no HTML interpretation). * fix(desktop): inline prototype-pollution guard so CodeQL sees it CodeQL's dataflow doesn't follow the helper-function guard inside `safeSet`, so it kept flagging Object.defineProperty as prototype- polluting. Inline the literal `__proto__`/`constructor`/`prototype` check at the assignment site to break the dataflow. Behavior unchanged — same set of disallowed keys, same throw. * feat(ui-tui): resolve links to readable page titles Mirror desktop pretty-link behavior in the TUI by resolving HTTP links to page titles with shared caching and safe fetch filters, plus slug-based fallbacks so chat links stay readable even when title fetch fails. * fix(desktop): drop RegExp from dangling-fence close detection Previous attempt tried to break the dataflow by reconstructing the close-fence regex from a literal char + marker.length, but CodeQL still traced marker.length back to input and kept flagging the test-fixture URLs as hostname-regex sources (js/incomplete-hostname-regexp). Replace `new RegExp(...)` + `closeRe.test(body)` with a string-only hasCloseFenceLine() helper that splits on '\n' and uses ===. No regex on this path now, so input data can no longer reach a RegExp source. Behavior preserved: matches lines that are (whitespace + marker + whitespace), which is what the original `\n[ \t]*${marker}[ \t]*(?=\n|$)` matched. All 12 markdown-text tests still pass. * fix(process-registry): suppress windows-footgun false positive on guarded killpg Keep the existing POSIX-only process-group teardown path, but make the signal selection explicit via getattr and add an inline windows-footgun suppression marker on the guarded os.killpg line so the Windows footgun check no longer blocks CI on this intentionally platform-gated code. * feat(desktop): reconcile live tool events, polish thread chrome, harden boot - chat-messages: match tool rows by overlapping query/context/preview values so preview-first `tool.progress` rows reliably adopt later stable-id `tool.start` payloads instead of spawning ghost rows or mis-merging parallel same-name calls; preserve prior args/result across phases. - tui_gateway: emit full args + parsed result on `tool.start` / `tool.complete`, drop redundant `tool.started` re-emit from `tool.progress`. - electron/main: prefer SOURCE_REPO_ROOT before PATH `hermes` in dev so local backend edits actually run; split hardening helpers into `electron/hardening.cjs` with tests. - thread/tool UI: one-shot enter animation keyed by stable ids, braille spinner for running rows, Cursor-like disclosure rows, drill-down + duration/count formatting via new tool-fallback-model. - composer: extract `text-utils`, drop liquid-glass overrides. - right-rail: split preview-pane into preview-console / preview-file. - runtime: incremental external-store runtime + runtime-readiness gate; onboarding store + tests; route-resume hook test. - regression tests for live tool reconciliation (parallel tools, id-less progress, preview-first rows, structured args/results). * feat(desktop): add ripgrep to NSIS prereq page + polish layout Add ripgrep as a third (recommended) prereq alongside Python and Git in the NSIS prereq detection page, and clean up the page layout based on on-VM testing. Why ripgrep - Hermes' search_files tool calls `rg` directly for content + filename search (tools/file_operations.py:1382). Falls back to grep/find from Git Bash when missing — works but slower and noisier (no .gitignore awareness). - ~5MB winget install via `BurntSushi.ripgrep.MSVC --scope user` — no UAC prompt, parallel to how Python installs. - scripts/install.ps1 already installs ripgrep as part of Install-SystemPackages; this brings the desktop installer to parity. Why "recommended" not "required" - Python and Git are hard requirements: without them the agent runtime or terminal tool refuses to start. The bootstrapper preflight throws. - ripgrep is a performance enhancement: missing it just means slower searches. Page wording reflects this; failure to install is logged but doesn't show a MessageBox or block. Layout polish (response to on-VM screenshot review) - Wizard header now correctly reads "System Requirements" instead of the leftover "Choose Install Location" from the previous page. Set via `GetDlgItem $HWNDPARENT 1037/1038` + WM_SETTEXT — the standard NSIS pattern for overriding the page header on a custom Page. - Removed redundant in-body title + verbose intro paragraph; the wizard header IS the title now. Body has one short intro line. - Group boxes tightened to 26u with content positioned just below the groupbox title (not top-anchored status + bottom-anchored checkbox with empty space in the middle). All three panels + footer fit comfortably in 126u, well under the 140u page limit. - Checkbox labels simplified: dropped "(per-user, no admin prompt)" and "(administrator approval required)" suffixes. The footer note still calls out UAC for Git when relevant. - Footer text trimmed to fit cleanly without clipping. Install order (in customInstall macro) - Python → ripgrep → Git - Python and ripgrep are silent and run first; Git's UAC prompt comes last so the user's approval interaction isn't interrupted by silent activity afterwards. Skip behavior unchanged - All three detected → page auto-skips via Abort - Silent install (/S) → customInstall winget block skips - User unchecks all → page advances without running winget Files - apps/desktop/installer/prereq-check.nsh: ripgrep detection block, ripgrep page panel + checkbox, ripgrep customInstall block, GetDlgItem header override, layout reflow - apps/desktop/README.md: Runtime prerequisites section updated to list ripgrep as recommended, with manual winget command * feat(desktop): add model-confirmation step to onboarding After OAuth/API-key login completes, onboarding now shows a confirmation card with the curated default model and a Change button before dropping the user into chat. Closes the gap where the desktop's `model.default` was empty after first launch and the agent had to fall back to whatever heuristic happened to fire — leaving users wondering "why am I getting sonnet-4 when I logged into Nous Portal?" Why - Desktop onboarding only persisted credentials, never `model.default`. The CLI's `hermes model` command pairs provider + model selection, but the desktop's onboarding skipped the model step entirely. - Result: users saw whichever model the agent's auto-fallback picked, unpredictably and undocumented. - For the BUILD demo we want users to land on the model they expect for their provider, with a clear "this is what you're getting" UI and a one-click path to change it before chatting. How - New `confirming_model` flow status carries the just-authenticated provider slug, current default model, label, and a saving flag. - `completeWithModelConfirm()` runs after credentials succeed: reloads env, verifies runtime, fetches /api/model/options to find the curated first-model for the provider, persists it via /api/model/set, then transitions into `confirming_model`. - If anything fails (no providers returned, network error), falls through to the previous behaviour — onboarding completes without the confirm step. Polish, not a hard requirement. - All four credential paths (device_code OAuth, PKCE OAuth, external CLI flow, API key) now use completeWithModelConfirm instead of reloadAndConnect. UI - `ConfirmingModelPanel` shows: green "<provider> connected" banner, card with "Default model: <name>" + Change button, and a "Start chatting" CTA that finalises onboarding. - Reuses the existing `ModelPickerDialog` (the same picker available from the chat shell) for the change-model UX. Search, filtering, multi-provider listing — all already built. - Stacking: ModelPickerDialog defaults to z-130, which renders UNDER the onboarding overlay (z-1300) and breaks pointer events. Added optional `contentClassName` prop to ModelPickerDialog so callers can override; onboarding passes `z-[1310]`. Provider-slug matching - For OAuth flows: pass `provider.id` directly as the preferred slug. - For API-key flows: `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` → "openrouter" via env-key prefix strip. Also includes the user-visible label as a fallback candidate. - fetchProviderDefaultModel falls back to the first authenticated provider in the response if no preferred slug matches — so even a miss still surfaces a reasonable default. Files - apps/desktop/src/store/onboarding.ts: + new `confirming_model` flow variant + fetchProviderDefaultModel + completeWithModelConfirm helpers + setOnboardingModel (optimistic update + revert on failure) + confirmOnboardingModel (finalises onboarding from the card) - reloadAndConnect (replaced; the four call sites now go through completeWithModelConfirm) - apps/desktop/src/components/desktop-onboarding-overlay.tsx: + ConfirmingModelPanel component + new branch in FlowPanel for status `confirming_model` + ModelPickerDialog usage with z-[1310] content class - apps/desktop/src/components/model-picker.tsx: + optional `contentClassName` prop on ModelPickerDialog so the dialog can be stacked on top of other fixed overlays Tested - `npm run type-check` passes - `npx eslint` clean on touched files - Live test in `npm run dev`: cleared onboarding cache, walked through Nous device-code flow, saw confirm card with curated default, clicked Change → ModelPickerDialog rendered above the onboarding overlay with working pointer events, picked a different model, "Start chatting" persisted to ~/.hermes/config.yaml. * fix(desktop): suppress generic provider warning in onboarding Hide the red setup notice when the message is the generic missing-provider guidance, since onboarding already presents provider auth actions. Centralize provider-setup matching across desktop hooks and add coverage for the matcher. * fix(desktop): add 2u clearance below prereq checkboxes Group box bottom border was clipping the checkboxes by 1-2px. Bumped each box height 26u→30u; checkboxes now sit 2u above the bottom border. * fix(nix): refresh dashboard lockfile hash Update the web npm deps hash in nix/web.nix to match the committed apps/dashboard/package-lock.json so bb/gui passes the nix lockfile check. * fix(desktop): install TUI deps in release workflow Ensure desktop release builds install the standalone ui-tui package before bundling the TUI payload. * fix(desktop): run release builder from app package Invoke the desktop builder through the package script so electron-builder uses apps/desktop/package.json. * fix(desktop): expand release artifact names safely Build desktop artifact names from workflow version/channel while preserving electron-builder platform macros. * fix(desktop): use package artifact naming in release workflow Let electron-builder's desktop package config provide platform-specific artifact extensions while the workflow injects the release version/channel metadata. * fix(nix): fetch dashboard npm deps from package root Point the dashboard npm dependency fetch at apps/dashboard so Nix can find the package lockfile after the dashboard move. * fix(nix): build dashboard from package directory Set the web package source root to apps/dashboard so npm patch/build phases run beside the dashboard lockfile while keeping apps/shared available as a sibling. * feat(desktop): render LaTeX math via KaTeX after streaming completes Add @streamdown/math plugin to the chat markdown renderer. Inline ($x^2$) and block ($$...$$) math both supported with singleDollarTextMath enabled. Plugin is gated to non-streaming state to match the existing pattern for syntax highlighting — math renders when the message completes, avoiding KaTeX re-render churn during streaming. KaTeX CSS is imported in styles.css; ~30KB CSS + ~430KB JS added to the bundle. Smoothness improvements during streaming deferred to a follow-up. * perf(desktop): memoize KaTeX renders so math streams without re-rendering Wrap rehype-katex with a per-equation LRU cache (keyed by displayMode + source text) and re-enable math during streaming. Stock @streamdown/math runs rehype-katex on every markdown commit, so each new token re-katexes every equation in the message. For math-heavy responses (an equation derived step-by-step) that's hundreds of ms of wasted work per token and the streaming UI chokes. With memoization, each equation pays katex.renderToString exactly once; subsequent tokens re-walk the tree but hit cache for unchanged equations. The wrapper mirrors rehype-katex's semantics exactly: same class detection (language-math, math-inline, math-display), same <pre>-walk-up for fenced math blocks, same parent.children.splice replacement, same SKIP traversal, same strict-then-lenient render strategy with VFile message reporting. Cached children are structuredCloned on each splice so downstream rehype plugins or toJsxRuntime can't mutate the cache. * fix(desktop): declare katex-memo deps directly + drop per-app lockfile katex-memo.ts (added in 112cad59b) imports hast-util-from-html-isomorphic, hast-util-to-text, remark-math, katex, and unist-util-visit-parents but those were never added to apps/desktop/package.json. They were silently resolving via @streamdown/math at the workspace root, which broke the moment `npm i --prefix apps/desktop` ran with the per-workspace lockfile because that install only consults apps/desktop/package.json. Add them as direct deps, plus unified/vfile/@types/hast for the type imports. Also delete apps/desktop/package-lock.json — root package.json declares workspaces: ["apps/*"], so npm manages all lockfile state at the root. The stale per-app lockfile is what made `npm i --prefix apps/desktop` diverge from the workspace install in the first place and left an empty apps/desktop/node_modules/@assistant-ui/ stub that Vite's dep optimizer then tried (and failed) to open at @assistant-ui/core/dist/internal.js. * feat(desktop): disable Backdrop noise overlay by default The noise overlay defaulted to on, which adds a busy speckle layer over the whole window for every new user. Flip the Leva default to off; the toggle stays in Backdrop / Noise for anyone who wants it back. * fix(desktop): polish LaTeX rendering — currency, code blocks, brackets Five distinct bugs surfaced from a math-heavy stress test: 1. Adjacent code fences glued together. scrubBacktickNoise's second-pass regex /``\s*``/g matched the LAST 2 backticks of one fence + whitespace + FIRST 2 backticks of the next, collapsing two blocks into one. Fixed with lookbehind/lookahead so we only match exactly 2 backticks not part of a longer run. 2. Whitespace eaten between fences and following content. stripPreviewTargets internally calls .trim() which strips leading/ trailing whitespace from each split-segment. For segments between two fences this collapsed \n\n to '', gluing fence close to next block. Fixed by capturing leading/trailing whitespace at the call site and restoring it after the transform. 3. Currency dollar signs eaten as math. With singleDollarTextMath:true remark-math greedy-matched any pair of $, so '$5 ... $10' became one inline math span. Added escapeCurrencyDollars to escape $<digit> patterns to \$<digit> in prose segments (not in code). Trade-off: math expressions starting with a digit (rare — '$5x = 10$') get escaped too. Mirrors the convention in ChatGPT/Claude's UIs. 4. \(...\) and \[...\] LaTeX brackets unsupported. Models often emit these instead of $...$ / $$...$$. Added rewriteLatexBracketDelimiters preprocessor pass. 5. ```latex / ```tex blocks were being routed to KaTeX via a rewrite to ```math. Aligns with GitHub markdown convention: ```math = render as math; ```latex / ```tex = LaTeX/TeX source code (syntax highlighted, not rendered). Conflating them broke teaching/showing-source use cases. MATH_FENCE_LANGUAGES pruned to {'math'} only. Also flipped parseIncompleteMarkdown to true (was !isStreaming) so the math parser can't see $ inside streaming-but-not-yet-closed code fences. Shiki was already deferred via defer={isStreaming} so this doesn't introduce new tokenization cost. Test: 18/18 existing tests still pass; one test updated to expect escaped \$ in currency-prose-with-URL case. * fix(desktop): detect Python via registry/filesystem; pin to 3.11–3.13 Two related fixes for Python detection on Windows: 1. py.exe (Python launcher) is missing from per-user installs that didn't check the launcher option, so 'py -3.X --version' alone misses real Python installs. User-reported case: clean Win11 + official Python.org 3.14 install -> 'where py' returned nothing, our installer offered to install Python again. Both NSIS prereq page and main.cjs now probe in this order: 1. py.exe launcher (when present) 2. PEP 514 registry: HKLM/HKCU\SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore\<v>\InstallPath 3. Filesystem: %ProgramFiles%\Python<v>, %LocalAppData%\Programs\Python\Python<v> Crucially, we never fall back to running 'python.exe' from PATH on Windows — the WindowsApps stub at %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\ WindowsApps\python.exe is a redirector that opens the Microsoft Store window if no Store Python is installed. Triggering that during boot would be terrible UX. Registry/filesystem probes never execute the binary. 2. Drop 3.14 from the supported version set. Several Hermes deps (notably pywinpty, which carries Rust crates like windows_x86_64_msvc) don't yet publish 3.14 wheels. With wheels missing, 'pip install -e .' falls back to building from sdist, which needs a Rust toolchain — users see 'could not compile windows_x86_64_msvc build script' on first run. install.ps1 sidesteps this by pinning to 3.11 via uv; the desktop installer doesn't yet have the same uv-managed-Python pathway, so for now we accept 3.11/3.12/3.13 and tell winget to install 3.11 if none of those are present. Revisit when the wheel ecosystem catches up to 3.14 (~early 2026). * feat(desktop): Cron, Profiles, usage analytics, and titlebar fixes - Add Cron and Profiles sidebar routes with full CRUD-style flows and API wiring. - Extend Command Center with auxiliary task overrides and a Usage panel (7d/30d/90d). - Fix titlebar geometry for WSL/Windows (native overlay width, tool spacing). - Remove stray merge conflict markers from pyproject.toml optional deps. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com> * fix(title-bar): position sidebar toggle button * feat(desktop): composer queue — queue many, edit/delete/cancel-edit, Cursor-style Press Enter while busy with a draft to queue it; with no draft to interrupt and send the next queued turn. Auto-drains one queued turn each time the session settles, same as Cursor. Queue persists across reloads so an interrupted-and-queued turn isn't lost on refresh. Each queued row supports edit-in-composer (with explicit Save/Cancel), send-now (↑), and delete. Drain skips only the entry currently being edited so the rest of the queue keeps flowing. Queue dequeue is transactional — an entry only leaves the queue after `prompt.submit` is accepted, so a rejected submit doesn't drop the turn. Also shrinks the `[interrupted]` marker to a muted one-liner and drops its assistant footer so it stops looking like a real reply. * fix(desktop): handle empty usage analytics totals Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com> * fix(desktop): address PR review titlebar and usage races Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com> * feat(desktop): add MCP settings and live subagent tree Surface configured MCP servers in Settings with JSON edit/save and a gateway-backed reload action so users can manage tool servers without falling back to slash commands. Track live subagent gateway events in a desktop store, show active subagent counts in the Agents statusbar item, and replace the Agents overlay stub with a live spawn tree for the active session. * fix(desktop): move power-user views out of sidebar Keep Cron and Profiles available through lower-prominence chrome entry points so the workspace sidebar stays focused on core chat navigation. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com> * refactor(desktop): subagent overlay reads like a live transcript, not a dashboard Strip the card chrome and rewire /agents to feel like peeking into the child agent's stream: - subagents store: single `stream` of typed entries (thinking/tool/progress/ summary) replaces the parallel notes/thinking/tools arrays. Drop unused fields (toolsets, depth, apiCalls, reasoningTokens, sessionId). - agents view: no OverlayCards, no boxed stream, no per-row borders. Goal + status pill + indented stream lines, full row width. - Group root spawns into "Delegation N" sections when batch shape + spawn time match — hides task-index interleaving and makes hierarchy obvious. - Sort tree by spawn time, then task_index. Step indicator is one colored pill (primary while running, emerald when done) inside the row, not a trailing pill that wrapped under the chevron. - Tree picks up `subagent.start` (not only `spawn_requested`) and prunes delegate-tool fallback rows once native subagent events land for the session — fixes duplicate "Delegated task" rows alongside the real ones. * feat(desktop): Esc closes every OverlayView-based overlay Lift the keyboard handler into the shared OverlayView so Agents, Settings, Command Center — and anything we build on top of it later — all dismiss on Esc by default. Nested Radix dialogs stop propagation themselves, so a modal opened inside an overlay (e.g. model picker inside Settings) still closes the modal first, not the overlay underneath. Drop the now-redundant Esc handlers in Settings (kept Cmd/Ctrl+P) and Command Center. * fix(desktop): drop numbered step pill on subagent rows The pill was getting clipped at the overlay edge anyway. Just use the status glyph (●/✓/✗/■/○) — the delegation header already conveys "3 workers, 3 active", and order in the list implies which step you're looking at. * fix(desktop): drop noisy "returned N items / empty object" stub strings When a tool returns nothing useful, the row should be silent — the title ("Search Files", etc.) already tells the user what happened. Counting the fields in an opaque payload is engineer-noise. `formatToolResultSummary` and `minimalValueSummary` now return '' for empty arrays / records / unrecognized values; tool-fallback already hides the detail section when its body is empty. * refactor(desktop): subagent rows borrow chat tool patterns (fade-in, lucide glyphs, shimmer) Pull the agents view closer to how chat tool blocks render: - statusGlyph() returns the same lucide BrailleSpinner / CheckCircle2 / AlertCircle vocabulary as tool-fallback's statusGlyph - Stream lines fade-in via useEnterAnimation (one-shot WAAPI), keyed per entry so streamed deltas settle in instead of popping - Subagent rows fade in too, and pick up the existing data-slot=tool-block spacing rules between blocks - Active stream line trails a BrailleSpinner instead of a hand-rolled pulsing rectangle - Goal text drops FadeText (which forces nowrap); keep FadeText only for the single-line meta subtitle - Running rows shimmer the title — same affordance the chat thinking row uses * refactor(desktop): make /agents subagent-only, drop sidebar + dead sections Activity rail and History stub were both noise. Strip the split layout, sidebar, route enum, and the rail/stub helpers — the overlay is now just the spawn tree, centered in a max-w-3xl column so it stops claiming the whole screen for one section's worth of content. * feat: update cron modals * Add dedicated GUI log stream for dashboard debugging. Capture dashboard and PTY websocket lifecycle failures in gui.log and expose it via hermes logs. * Improve desktop runtime UX by surfacing inference readiness in gateway status and hardening WSL link opening. This also stabilizes markdown code/table block spacing and adds root-install guards so desktop dev runs use a healthy workspace dependency tree. * Log detailed GUI websocket failure metadata. Capture richer reject/disconnect/send/parse context for dashboard gateway websocket flows so GUI connection failures are diagnosable from logs. * Default dashboard startup logging to GUI mode. Detect the dashboard subcommand during early CLI bootstrap so gui.log is attached from process start and GUI startup failures are always captured. * Clean up gateway status conditionals and logging bootstrap mode detection. Simplify nested dashboard gateway status branches for readability and use a concise first-subcommand check when selecting early GUI logging mode. * add logging to nsis installer * feat: glass ui pass * fix(desktop): persist inline assistant errors across hydrate/resume - Detect provider failure text arriving via message.complete (HTTP 4xx, "API call failed after N retries", Provider/Gateway error: ...) and persist as an inline assistant error instead of regular completion text, blocking the hydrate that was wiping it. - preserveLocalAssistantErrors: merge by id so same-id hydrated messages keep their local error, and preserve the optimistic user+error pair as a unit (with tail-user dedupe). - Hook all hydrate/resume writers (use-session-actions resume + fallback, hydrateFromStoredSession, syncSessionStateToView) into the merge so stale snapshots can't clobber a failed turn. - Add error to chatMessagesEquivalent so the resume diff actually sees error-only changes and paints them. - editMessage on a failed turn now submits a plain resend (no truncate_before_user_ordinal) and retries plainly on the "no longer in session history" race. Style polish on touched files: - Inline error: text-only treatment (no card). - User stop / edit-composer send: shared Tabler IconPlayerStopFilled glyph + shared icon-button class slot for parity. * feat(desktop): theme xterm with active light/dark mode The right-sidebar terminal hardcoded a light palette, which read poorly on the dark glass surface. Subscribe to `useTheme().resolvedMode` and hot-swap `term.options.theme` so Shift+X (and any other mode change) updates the terminal in place without tearing down the PTY session. Dark mode uses xterm's built-in defaults (white fg/cursor + vivid ANSI 16) with just a transparent background so the glass shows through; light mode keeps the existing hand-tuned overrides for legibility on a bright surface. * feat(sidebar): right-click + drag-reorder sessions and workspaces - Wire right-click on session rows to open the same actions menu; suppresses the OS-native context menu so Windows stops looking awful. - Share dropdown + context menu items via useSessionActions() driving a single declarative ItemSpec[]; render polymorphic over MenuItem. - New shadcn ContextMenu primitive mirroring DropdownMenu styling. - Restore drag-and-drop reordering for Agents (lost during the cwd cleanup) and add reordering of workspace groups via a right-side grab handle. Pinned reorder unchanged. - Generic orderByIds<T> replaces the duplicated session/group orderers; useSortableBindings() hook collapses the two Sortable wrappers. - cursor-pointer on every actionable element; cursor-grab on handles. - KISS pass: baseName() helper, AGE_TICKS table, single WORKSPACE_PAGE constant, flatter SidebarSessionsSection render. * feat(desktop): solarize the xterm palette in both light & dark xterm's default ANSI 16 is tuned for dark and reads candy-bright on the light glass surface (vivid cyans/greens). Ship the canonical Solarized palette (Schoonover) for both modes — same 16 accents either way, only fg/cursor swap between `base00/01` (light) and `base0/1` (dark), so a prompt's colors look uniform across a Shift+X toggle. Background stays transparent in both modes — Solarized's cream/slate backgrounds would fight the glass. * feat(desktop): virtualize chat thread + sidebar via TanStack Virtual Replaces `use-stick-to-bottom` and per-row session rendering with `@tanstack/react-virtual`, matching what Cursor uses. Chat thread (`thread-virtualizer.tsx`): - Natural-flow virtualization (padding spacers, not absolute items) so `position: sticky` on the human bubble still resolves cleanly against the scroller. - Custom at-bottom anchor: pins when armed, disarms on user-driven upward scroll, re-arms at bottom, jumps on session switch + `thread.runStart`. - Loading indicator and `--thread-last-message-clearance` move to a real `[data-slot=aui_composer-clearance]` node; drops the brittle `:nth-last-child(1 of …)` rule that can't fire reliably under virtualization. Sidebar (`virtual-session-list.tsx`): - Flat agents list virtualizes at >=25 rows; pinned and workspace-grouped paths stay direct-render. - `SortableContext` keeps all IDs; only the window mounts; dnd-kit's `setNodeRef` is merged with `virtualizer.measureElement` so rows participate in both DnD hit-testing and TanStack measurement. Drops `use-stick-to-bottom`. Streaming test gets a global `offsetWidth/offsetHeight` stub so the virtualizer's viewport sizing works in jsdom; the scroll-up-doesn't-pull-back invariant still passes. * feat: more ui qa * fix(desktop): trim sidebar terminal startup spacer Drop zsh's initial spacer row before writing the first terminal prompt so new sidebar terminal sessions do not open with a selectable blank line. * chore: uptick * feat(desktop): thin installer + first-launch install.ps1 bootstrap Converges the Windows packaged desktop installer onto a single canonical install topology: drop the Electron shell only (~80MB instead of ~500MB), clone Hermes Agent at a build-time-pinned commit on first launch via install.ps1's stage protocol, and treat the resulting git checkout at %LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes\hermes-agent\ as the canonical install location (same path the CLI installer uses). Future updates flow through the existing applyUpdates() git-pull path. Replaces the previous fat-installer architecture where the .exe bundled a pre-staged hermes-agent source tree under resources/hermes-agent/ that was then sync'd into ACTIVE_HERMES_ROOT at launch -- a complicated factory-vs-active dance with several footguns (FACTORY_HERMES_ROOT mismatch on path resolve, isGitCheckout guard regressions, pyproject hash drift detection inside the sync loop). Architecture overview --------------------- Build time apps/desktop/scripts/write-build-stamp.cjs writes apps/desktop/build/install-stamp.json with {commit, branch, builtAt, dirty}. Honours $GITHUB_SHA / $GITHUB_REF_NAME in CI, falls back to `git rev-parse HEAD` locally. apps/desktop/scripts/stage-native-deps.cjs copies the runtime subset of @homebridge/node-pty-prebuilt-multiarch from the workspace-root node_modules into apps/desktop/build/native-deps/. Workspace dedup hoists this dep to the root, out of reach of electron-builder's `files:`-restricted collector; staging gives us a deterministic path to extraResources. electron-builder ships both into resources/install-stamp.json and resources/native-deps/ respectively. Boot resolver (electron/main.cjs) Resolver order: 1. HERMES_DESKTOP_HERMES_ROOT override 2. SOURCE_REPO_ROOT (dev mode) 3. ACTIVE_HERMES_ROOT git checkout WITH .hermes-bootstrap-complete marker -- the post-install fast path 4. `hermes` on PATH (CLI-installed user adding the desktop) 5. pip-installed hermes_cli via system Python 6. bootstrap-needed sentinel -> hand off to runBootstrap Deletes the entire FACTORY_HERMES_ROOT / RUNTIME_MARKER / syncTreeExcludingVenv machinery (-200 lines). The isGitCheckout guard that bit us in the install.ps1 PR is gone. First-launch bootstrap (electron/bootstrap-runner.cjs) 1. Resolve install.ps1: prefer SOURCE_REPO_ROOT/scripts (dev), else download from GitHub raw at INSTALL_STAMP.commit (cached at HERMES_HOME\bootstrap-cache\install-<sha>.ps1). 2. Fetch the stage manifest via install.ps1 -Manifest -Commit X -Branch Y. 3. Iterate stages: install.ps1 -Stage <name> -NonInteractive -Json -Commit X -Branch Y per stage. 4. On all stages green: write the .hermes-bootstrap-complete marker with {schemaVersion, pinnedCommit, pinnedBranch, completedAt, desktopVersion}. Per-run log to HERMES_HOME\logs\bootstrap-<ts>.log. Cancellation via AbortSignal. Manifest cache so retries don't re-download. Install overlay (src/components/desktop-install-overlay.tsx) Mounted alongside the existing onboarding overlay; flexbox card with header (static) + middle (scrollable) + footer (failure-only, static). Subscribes to hermes:bootstrap:event IPC + resyncs from hermes:bootstrap:get on mount/reload. Renders: - 14-stage checklist with per-stage state icons - Overall progress bar + current-stage spotlight - Auto-expanded installer-output panel on failure - "Copy output" button (full ring buffer + error to clipboard) - "Reload and retry" wired through hermes:bootstrap:reset to clear main.cjs's latched failure Synthetic empty-manifest event from main.cjs flips the overlay to 'active' immediately so the slow install.ps1 download doesn't leave the user staring at the generic Preparing splash. Failure latching (main.cjs) bootstrapFailure module-scope variable holds the rejection after install.ps1 fails. startHermes() throws the latched error immediately when set, bypassing the entire ensureRuntime + runBootstrap chain. Without this, the renderer's ensureGatewayOpen retries would re-run install.ps1 in a 5-10 min hot loop while the user was still reading the failure overlay. Cleared via hermes:bootstrap:reset on user-driven retry. Unsupported-platform overlay (1F) macOS / Linux packaged builds (no install.sh stage protocol yet) emit an unsupported-platform event with a copy-pasteable install command + docs URL. Dedicated overlay branch with "Copy command" + "I've run it -- retry" buttons. install.ps1 additions (Phase 1F.3 + 1F.5) ----------------------------------------- New -Commit and -Tag string params. Precedence Commit > Tag > Branch. Honoured by all three code paths (update / fresh clone / ZIP fallback), with archive URL selection that handles each ref-type variant. Detached-HEAD checkouts intentionally -- they're pins, not branches the user pulls into. EAP=Continue wrap around the new pin-step git invocations. `git fetch origin <commit>` writes the routine 'From <url>' info line to stderr; under the script's global EAP=Stop that terminates the script even though fetch+checkout succeed. Matches the established pattern in Install-Uv, Test-Python, _Run-NpmInstall. Backend fix (hermes_cli/web_server.py) -------------------------------------- CORS allow_origin_regex now accepts Origin: 'null'. Packaged Electron loads index.html via file://; Chromium sets the WebSocket upgrade Origin header to the opaque origin 'null', which the old regex rejected with HTTP 403 before gateway_ws() ever ran. This failure mode was masked in the older FACTORY_HERMES_ROOT architecture because the resolver often found an existing hermes on PATH with different binding behavior. Security maintained: localhost-only bind keeps cross-machine pages out; per-process session token still gates every authenticated /api/ endpoint regardless of Origin. Desktop QoL ----------- DevTools is now enabled in packaged builds (F12 / Cmd+Opt+I). Field-debugging trade-off: tiny attack surface increase versus a much better support story when CSP / WS / theme issues surface. NSIS prereq-check page deleted (-767 lines). The standard Welcome -> License -> Directory -> InstallFiles -> Finish wizard now installs without custom Python/Git/ripgrep detection -- those prereqs are install.ps1's job at first launch. Test infrastructure (Phase 1G) ------------------------------ apps/desktop/scripts/test-desktop.mjs rewritten as a cross-platform bundle validator (was darwin-only and asserted on dead factory- payload paths): NEGATIVE: hermes_cli/main.py is NOT shipped (regression guard) POSITIVE: install-stamp.json carries a real commit + branch POSITIVE: node-pty native deps shipped under resources/native-deps POSITIVE: renderer dist/index.html reachable (asar or unpacked) New nsis mode and npm run test:desktop:nsis script. Validated end-to-end on clean Win10 VM -------------------------------------- Confirmed: NSIS installer drops Electron shell, app launches, install overlay shows progress, install.ps1 clones the pinned commit, 14 stages run to completion, marker written, backend spawns, WebSocket connects, onboarding overlay asks for API key, main UI loads, integrated terminal works. Failures handled: bootstrap stays failed (no hot-loop retry), "Copy output" gives actionable transcript, "Reload and retry" explicitly re-runs install.ps1. What's deferred --------------- - MSIX wrapping (Phase 2): same Electron .exe under MSIX manifest with runFullTrust, signed and submitted to Microsoft Store. - install.sh stage protocol parity (Phase 2): once shipped, the unsupported-platform overlay becomes drive-it-yourself and macOS/Linux packaged installers gain feature parity with Windows. * feat(desktop): persistent terminal pane + fullscreen takeover Adds a VSCode-style "focus terminal" toggle to the right sidebar's Terminal tab that takes over the chat pane area without unmounting the shell. The xterm host is mounted once at the layout root and CSS-overlayed onto whichever <TerminalSlot /> is currently active, so the PTY session, scrollback, selection, focus, and WebGL renderer survive every toggle. Also: - WebGL renderer (matching dashboard ChatPage) so Hermes' TUI skins paint faithfully instead of muting through xterm's default DOM renderer - File drag/drop from the project tree or OS into xterm — paths are shell-quoted (zsh/bash/pwsh/cmd) and written straight into the PTY - Solarized dark canvas with brights promoted to real accent variants (Schoonover's UI-gray brights washed out every TUI accent) - Strip NO_COLOR/FORCE_COLOR/COLORFGBG/TERM=dumb leaking from non-tty parents (CI runners, Cursor's agent shell) so the embedded shell gets truecolor regardless of how Electron was launched - rAF-debounced ResizeObserver — running fit.fit() synchronously during sibling pane transitions crashed the WebGL texture-atlas rebuild * fix(install.ps1): strip UTF-8 BOM regression that broke 'irm | iex' The canonical install flow irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/.../scripts/install.ps1 | iex fails on PowerShell 5.1 with a cascade of 'The assignment expression is not valid' errors at every param() default value: [string]$Branch = 'main', ~~~~~~ The assignment expression is not valid. The input to an assignment operator must be an object that is able to accept assignments... Root cause: scripts/install.ps1 carries a UTF-8 BOM (0xEF 0xBB 0xBF) as its first three bytes. 'irm' returns the response body as a string; on PS 5.1 the BOM survives into that string as a leading \ufeff character. 'iex' then evaluates the string and PS's parser chokes on the invisible character before param() -- error recovery proceeds into the body but every assignment is reported as broken. This was the exact failure mode the install.ps1 hardening pass (PR #27224) deliberately fixed by stripping the BOM and ensuring the file body is pure ASCII. Commit |

fix(run_agent): gate concurrent checkpoint preflight on block_result (fixes #34827)
In the concurrent tool-execution path, checkpoint preflight (write_file, patch, destructive terminal) fired BEFORE plugin guardrail block_result was computed. A blocked write_file could still dirty checkpoint state (doc_modified_this_turn, _last_write_file_call_id, turn_counter). Move checkpoint preflight to AFTER block_result computation, gated on `if block_result is None:` — matching the invariant the sequential path already enforces. |

fix(agent): strip schema-foreign keys from max-iterations summary request (#34436)
The max-iterations summary path (`handle_max_iterations`) hand-builds its
message list and calls `chat.completions.create()` directly, bypassing
`ChatCompletionsTransport.convert_messages()`. It only popped
("reasoning", "finish_reason", "_thinking_prefill"), so `tool_name` (SQLite
FTS bookkeeping), the `codex_*` reasoning carriers, and other internal
`_`-prefixed scaffolding leaked to the wire.
Strict OpenAI-compatible gateways (Fireworks-backed OpenCode Go, Mistral,
Moonshot/Kimi) reject these with HTTP 400 "Extra inputs are not permitted,
field: 'messages[N].tool_name'", so a long tool-using session that exhausts
the iteration budget fails to summarise instead of returning the result.
Mirror convert_messages() in this path: also drop tool_name,
codex_reasoning_items, codex_message_items, and every `_`-prefixed key.
Copy-on-write is already in place, so internal history keeps the fields for
FTS / Codex-fallback.
Adds a regression test to TestHandleMaxIterations asserting the summary
request carries none of the schema-foreign keys (fails on main, passes here).

fix(agent): register explainer config key + shorten footer prefix
Follow-up to the salvaged #34452 turn-completion explainer: - Register display.turn_completion_explainer: True in DEFAULT_CONFIG so the setting is discoverable, matching the file_mutation_verifier precedent. - Shorten the repeated footer prefix from 'Turn ended without a usable reply: ' to 'No reply: ' so the 10 reason variants don't all open with the same 8-word boilerplate. - Update the 7 assertions that referenced the old prefix. |

fix(agent): explain abnormal turn endings instead of blank/partial reply
When a turn ends abnormally after substantive tool calls (empty content after retries, a partial/truncated stream, exhausted retries, or an iteration/budget limit), the CLI/TUI response area was left blank or showed only a fragment (e.g. "The") with no consolidated reason. The internal turn_exit_reason values (empty_response_exhausted, partial_stream_recovery, etc.) were never surfaced to the user. Add a turn-completion explainer that mirrors the existing file-mutation verifier footer: at turn end, map an abnormal turn_exit_reason to a short, actionable message and either replace the bare "(empty)" sentinel or append the reason after a partial fragment. Normal text_response exits (e.g. a terse "Done.") stay quiet. Gated by display.turn_completion_explainer (default on) with HERMES_TURN_COMPLETION_EXPLAINER env override, matching the file-mutation verifier seam. Closes #34452 |

refactor(auth): remove vestigial Nous min_key_ttl/inference_auth_mode params
After the legacy session-key path was removed, two parameters became dead surface on the Nous runtime-resolution chain: - min_key_ttl_seconds: del'd inside refresh_nous_oauth_pure and pass-through / telemetry-only in refresh_nous_oauth_from_state, _try_import_shared_nous_state, _nous_device_code_login, and resolve_nous_runtime_credentials. It controlled the now-deleted agent-key mint TTL and drives no behavior. - inference_auth_mode: with the legacy mode gone, AUTO and FRESH are behaviorally identical; the value only fed _normalize_nous_inference_auth_mode validation and oauth trace output, never a branch. Removing inference_auth_mode orphaned its whole supporting cluster (NOUS_INFERENCE_AUTH_MODE_AUTO/FRESH, NOUS_INFERENCE_AUTH_MODES, _normalize_nous_inference_auth_mode), and dropping min_key_ttl_seconds orphaned DEFAULT_AGENT_KEY_MIN_TTL_SECONDS — all deleted here. Updated every caller (run_agent, auxiliary_client, credential_pool, proxy adapter, runtime_provider, web_server, main, auth_commands, setup) and pruned the matching test kwargs. Deleted two tests that exercised the removed surface (test_legacy_auth_mode_is_rejected, test_try_refresh_..._accepts_explicit_auth_mode). No behavior change: net -134 LOC of dead code. |

test: update _invoke_tool dispatch assertion for new toolset-scope kwargs
The scoping fix added enabled_toolsets/disabled_toolsets to the agent_runtime_helpers sequential dispatch into handle_function_call, so test_invoke_tool_dispatches_to_handle_function_call's assert_called_once_with (exact match) needs the two new kwargs. Both are None for the default agent fixture. |

test(kanban): update iteration-exhaustion tests for #29747 gap 2
The two tests in TestRunConversation now verify the new behavior:
- test_kanban_block_called_on_iteration_exhaustion → verifies
_record_task_failure(outcome='timed_out') is called instead of
kanban_block
- test_no_kanban_block_when_not_in_kanban_mode → verifies the bridge
is a no-op when HERMES_KANBAN_TASK is unset
The function names are kept for diff stability; both assert against
_record_task_failure now, which is the correct contract per the gap-2
fix in this PR.

chore: prune unused imports and duplicate import redefinitions
Remove unused imports (F401) and duplicate/shadowed import redefinitions (F811) across the codebase using ruff's safe autofixes. No behavioral changes -- imports only. - ~1400 safe autofixes applied across 644 files (net -1072 lines) - __init__.py re-exports preserved (excluded from F401 removal so public re-export surfaces stay intact) - Re-exports that are imported or monkeypatched by tests but look unused in their defining module are kept with explicit # noqa: F401 (gateway/run.py load_dotenv; run_agent re-exports from agent.message_sanitization, agent.context_compressor, agent.retry_utils, agent.prompt_builder, agent.process_bootstrap, agent.codex_responses_adapter) - Unsafe F841 (unused-variable) fixes deliberately skipped -- those can change behavior when the RHS has side effects - ruff lints remain disabled in pyproject.toml (only PLW1514 is selected); this is a one-time cleanup, not a config change Verification: - python -m compileall: clean - pytest --collect-only: all 27161 tests collect (zero import errors) - core entry points import clean (run_agent, model_tools, cli, toolsets, hermes_state, batch_runner, gateway) - static scan: every name any test imports directly from an edited module still resolves |

feat(prompt): universal task-completion guidance + local Python toolchain probe (#34340)
* fix(codex): surface error code in Responses 'failed' status errors
When a Codex Responses turn ends with status=failed, the response carries
the failure details under `response.error` as
`{code, message, param, ...}`. The previous extractor pulled only
`message`, so users seeing a rate-limit failure got a bare "Slow down"
string indistinguishable from a generic stream truncation; an
internal_error with empty message degraded to a dict dump
("{'code': 'internal_error', 'message': ''}").
Extract a `_format_responses_error()` helper that:
- prefixes `code` when both code and message are present
(e.g. 'rate_limit_exceeded: Slow down')
- falls back to the bare `code` when message is empty
- accepts both dict and attribute-style payloads (SDK and JSON-RPC paths)
- preserves the prior status-only fallback when no error payload exists
Apply the same helper at the sibling site in
`codex_app_server_session.run_turn()` so codex-CLI subprocess turn
failures get the same treatment.
Tests:
- 8 new unit tests for `_format_responses_error` covering both shapes,
empty/missing fields, non-string fields, and the status-only fallback.
- 2 regression tests on `_normalize_codex_response` for failed status
with and without a code, asserting the exact RuntimeError message.
- All 3603 tests in tests/agent/ pass.
Adapted from anomalyco/opencode#28757.
* feat(prompt): universal task-completion guidance + local Python toolchain probe
Two cross-model failure modes get a single-line answer in the cached
system prompt. Both gated by config (default on), both add zero overhead
when not needed, both verified via real AIAgent prompt builds.
## What changed
`TASK_COMPLETION_GUIDANCE` — short prompt block applied to ALL models.
Targets two failure modes observed on a real Sarasota real-estate build
task: (1) Opus stopped after writing an 85-byte stub and gave a prose
response with finish_reason=stop on call #3 of 90; (2) DeepSeek pushed
through a PEP-668 wall, then returned fabricated listings instead of
admitting the blocker. Both behaviors are model-family-agnostic, so the
guidance lives outside the existing tool_use_enforcement gate (~192
tokens, paid once per session via prefix cache).
`tools/env_probe.py` — local Python toolchain probe. Detects
python3/pip/uv/PEP-668 state and emits ONE short line in the system
prompt when something is non-default. Emits NOTHING when the env is
clean (zero token cost for normal users). Skipped entirely for remote
terminal backends (docker/modal/ssh) — they have their own probe.
Example output on a broken environment (the actual case):
Python toolchain: python3=3.11.15 (no pip module),
python=missing (use python3), pip→python3.12 (mismatch),
PEP 668=yes (use venv or uv).
## Config
Both flags live under `agent.` in config.yaml, default True:
agent:
task_completion_guidance: true # universal "finish the job" block
environment_probe: true # local Python toolchain hints
Neither addition required a `_config_version` bump — deep-merge fills
defaults in for existing user configs.
## Validation

The old test asserted that a non-MiniMax provider returning a generic overflow (no provider-reported max) would step down to the 128K probe tier. The salvaged fix from #33673 deliberately removes that step-down because guessed tiers cause configured 1M sessions to silently shrink. Update the test to assert the new contract: keep the configured 200K window and rely on compression instead. |

fix(credential-pool): correct pool rotation when weekly usage limit is reached
After key #1 is marked exhausted the retry still called the API with key #1 due to env-var bias in _get_cached_client / resolve_api_key_provider_credentials. Fix: peek the pool and pass the active entry's key as explicit_api_key. Secondary: api_key_hint in mark_exhausted_and_rotate pins the correct entry under concurrent CLI+gateway calls; _is_payment_error matches GoUsageLimitError; extract_api_error_context parses "Resets in Xhr Ymin". |

fix(security): redact credentials before persistence in session capture
Two-layer redaction at the persistence boundary so credentials never reach
state.db, session_*.json, or compression:
1. agent/chat_completion_helpers.py :: build_assistant_message
- Redact assistant content before the message dict is constructed
(catches PATs / API keys the model inlines into natural language)
- Redact tool_call.function.arguments at the same site (catches secrets
inlined into tool args, e.g. terminal command=curl -H 'Authorization: ...')
Tool execution uses the raw API response object, not this dict, so
redacting the persisted shape is safe.
2. run_agent.py :: _save_session_log
- Add _redact_message_content() static helper that handles both string
content and OpenAI/Anthropic multimodal list-of-parts (image parts
pass through untouched, only text/content fields are redacted)
- Apply to every message + the cached system prompt before writing
session_*.json
Both layers respect HERMES_REDACT_SECRETS via redact_sensitive_text —
no-op when disabled.
Tests (TestSaveSessionLogRedactsSecrets, 4 cases):
- api key in tool content
- api key in user message
- api key in system prompt
- multimodal list-of-parts (image part preserved, text redacted)
Tests use an autouse fixture to force _REDACT_ENABLED=True because the
hermetic conftest defaults the env var to false.
Salvaged from PR #24758 by @vgocoder (build_assistant_message + session_log)
+ PR #19855 by @liuhao1024 (multimodal list helper, system_prompt redaction).
Kept only the redaction concern from #19855; its unrelated whatsapp npm
timeout + PATCH_SCHEMA changes are out of scope and dropped.
Refs #19798 (PAT leak via assistant inline mention), #19845 (session capture
credential leak).

feat(sessions): opt-in per-session JSON snapshot writer
PR #29182 deleted the per-session JSON snapshot writer outright because state.db is canonical and the snapshots had no in-tree consumer. Some users have external tooling that reads `~/.hermes/sessions/session_{sid}.json` directly, so reintroduce the writer behind a config flag that defaults to off. - Add `sessions.write_json_snapshots` (default False) to DEFAULT_CONFIG - Restore `AIAgent._save_session_log` + `_clean_session_content` as gated methods. When the flag is off the call is a fast no-op; when on, the writer behaves as before (atomic write, truncation guard preserved, REASONING_SCRATCHPAD → think tag normalization) - Re-derive the target path from `agent.session_id` on each call so `/branch` and `/compress` re-points happen automatically — no need to restore the explicit re-point bookkeeping at call sites - Wire the single call site in `_persist_session` (the cleanup-on-exit hook). Did NOT restore the 7 intra-turn calls the original PR deleted — those were redundant writes within the same turn that doubled disk I/O without adding any persistence guarantee `_persist_session` does not already provide - Read the flag once at agent init via `load_config()`, cache as `agent._session_json_enabled` - Update `TestNoSessionJsonSnapshot` → `TestSessionJsonSnapshotOptIn` to pin behavior: default off (no file), opt-in true (file written), no-op method on default agents, logs_dir retained unconditionally - Update CONTRIBUTING.md and the bundled `hermes-agent` skill to document the flag and its default |

test(session-log): pin no-session_json regression + drop trailing whitespace
Adds TestNoSessionJsonSnapshot to lock the contract that session_log_file attribute, _save_session_log method, and the per-session JSON snapshot writer are gone. logs_dir is retained for request_dump_*.json. Also cleans up stray trailing whitespace in test_run_agent_codex_responses introduced when the _save_session_log stub line was deleted. |
