* desktop+gateway: harden Slack socket recovery and Windows restart dedupe
Fix Slack Socket Mode reliability by adding a watchdog/reconnect path so silent socket task drops no longer leave the adapter stuck. Harden Windows gateway lifecycle by avoiding desktop-binary path collisions, making gateway PID scans case/extension tolerant, and reusing in-flight restart actions to prevent duplicate gateway spawns.
* test(slack): add Socket Mode watchdog/reconnect behavioural coverage
Drive the new Slack Socket Mode self-healing logic through a fake AsyncSocketModeHandler so we can simulate the P0 silent-hang failure mode (task exit, transport disconnected, intentional shutdown, concurrent reconnect attempts) without touching real Slack.
* fix(slack,desktop): address Copilot review on watchdog races and path normalization
- connect(): explicitly cancel + await the prior socket watchdog before flipping _running, so an old monitor cannot exit between teardown and respawn (Copilot #1)
- _socket_watchdog_loop: wrap the body in try/except + add a done-callback that respawns on unexpected crash, so a transient bug cannot permanently disable self-healing (Copilot #2)
- normalizeExecutablePathForCompare: use the resolved path for realpathSync so non-string inputs cannot leak through (Copilot #3)
- Add tests for crash-recovery and atomic watchdog replacement across reconnects
* fix(slack): tighten connect() error path and clarify watchdog test intent
Address Copilot review round 2.
- connect(): wrap _start_socket_mode_handler/_ensure_socket_watchdog in a focused try/except so any failure rolls back partially-started handler/task state and leaves _running=False, ensuring the platform lock is always released by the outer finally
- Defer _running=True until after the handler is actually started so the watchdog observes a live socket task immediately and never spins against a half-built adapter
- Rename test_watchdog_self_restarts_after_unexpected_crash to test_watchdog_cancellation_does_not_respawn (matches what it actually asserts) and add test_watchdog_unexpected_exit_respawns_via_done_callback that drives a real RuntimeError through _on_socket_watchdog_done and verifies a fresh task replaces the crashed one
* fix(web_server): serialize action spawn check+store under a threading lock
Address Copilot review round 3.
FastAPI runs sync handlers on its threadpool, so two near-simultaneous /api/gateway/restart (or /api/hermes/update) requests could both observe "no live process" in _spawn_hermes_action's poll-based dedupe and double-spawn. Add a module-level _ACTION_SPAWN_LOCK around the entire check + Popen + _ACTION_PROCS store sequence so the dedupe is atomic across threads.
* fix: address Copilot review round 4
- slack.disconnect(): mirror connect()'s defensive cleanup — catch the broad Exception path on watchdog await so handler shutdown and lock release still run if the watchdog raised before cancellation took effect
- web_server._spawn_hermes_action: wrap subprocess.Popen in try/except so a missing executable / permission error closes the log file handle, writes a failure marker, and re-raises instead of leaking a file descriptor
- gateway._scan_gateway_pids: drop the over-broad "hermes.exe --profile" / "hermes.exe -p" patterns that would match any Hermes CLI subcommand using a profile flag (e.g. `hermes.exe --profile foo dashboard`); rely on the "hermes.exe gateway" + "hermes-gateway.exe" tokens instead
- tests: tighten _fake_create_task to assert coroutine input and return a real asyncio.Task that stays pending until pytest teardown, and update the three callsites whose mocked AsyncSocketModeHandler.start_async returned a non-coroutine value
* fix(slack): reset multi-workspace state on reconnect
Address Copilot review round 5.
connect() is reentrant (gateway restart, in-process reconnect), but it was leaving _bot_user_id / _team_clients / _team_bot_user_ids populated from the previous session. A reconnect that rotated the primary token or dropped a workspace would silently keep the stale bot user id and stale workspace client maps, leading to dispatch against gone workspaces.
Clear these three pieces of state right after _stop_socket_mode_handler() and before the auth_test loop, then let the loop repopulate from the current tokens. Add test_reconnect_refreshes_multi_workspace_state to lock it in.
Salvages #27568 by @SerenityTn. Dashboard cron page now lists cron
jobs from all profiles, with profile-aware filter UI and storage
routing. Includes test coverage for cross-profile listing, mutation,
deletion, and validation.
Also fixes orphan conflict markers in config.py left by an earlier
salvage merge (kanban.dispatch_stale_timeout_seconds was double-nested
in HEAD/PR markers from #28452 salvage of #23790).
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.
`_ws_client_is_allowed()` enforces a loopback-only client check on every
dashboard WebSocket upgrade (`/api/ws`, `/api/events`, `/api/pty`,
`/api/pub`):
def _ws_client_is_allowed(ws):
if _is_public_bind():
return True
client_host = ws.client.host if ws.client else ""
if not client_host:
return True
return client_host in _LOOPBACK_HOSTS
The intent is: when bound to 127.0.0.1, only accept WS upgrades from
loopback peers. Public bind (--insecure) trades that for token-only.
However, `uvicorn.run(app, host=host, port=port, log_level="warning")`
omits `proxy_headers`. In modern uvicorn (>= 0.20) `proxy_headers`
defaults to True and `forwarded_allow_ips` defaults to "127.0.0.1".
With those defaults, any reverse proxy connecting from loopback (nginx,
in-cluster proxy, Cloudflare Tunnel sidecar in HTTP mode, K8s
ingress-nginx) causes uvicorn to rewrite `ws.client.host` from the
request's `X-Forwarded-For` header. So the gate sees the original
client's IP (a public address) instead of the loopback peer, returns
False, and closes every browser WS with code=4403 (surfaces as HTTP
403 to the proxy).
Passing `proxy_headers=False` keeps the loopback gate's view of
`ws.client.host` at the immediate transport peer (the proxy on
127.0.0.1), which is exactly what the gate is designed to check.
The bug is invisible in dev (no proxy → no XFF → ws.client.host stays
loopback). It surfaces in proxied production: dashboard chat tab opens,
events feed banner shows "disconnected — tool calls may not appear",
all WS endpoints return 403. Reproduces with:
curl -i -H "Connection: Upgrade" -H "Upgrade: websocket" \
-H "Sec-WebSocket-Version: 13" -H "Sec-WebSocket-Key: ..." \
-H "X-Forwarded-For: 1.2.3.4" \
"http://127.0.0.1:9119/api/ws?token=\$TOKEN"
# Before: HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden
# After: HTTP/1.1 101 Switching Protocols
Without the XFF header, both behave the same (101) — confirming the
single-variable trigger.
Discovered while diagnosing why the Hermes dashboard at
mandy.loadmagic.ai (behind nginx + Cloudflare Tunnel + CF Access)
refused all browser WS upgrades despite Access app config matching a
known-working sibling deployment (Simone, which doesn't have nginx in
the path).
Three call-sites in the codebase each duplicated the same config-slice
+ list_authenticated_providers + post-processing pattern:
- hermes_cli/web_server.py /api/model/options
- tui_gateway/server.py model.options JSON-RPC
- tui_gateway/server.py model.save_key JSON-RPC
This consolidates them onto hermes_cli/inventory.py:
load_picker_context() -> ConfigContext
Replaces the 17-LOC config-slice (model.{default,name,provider,
base_url}, providers:, custom_providers:) every consumer did
inline.
ConfigContext.with_overrides(*, current_provider=, current_model=,
current_base_url=) -> ConfigContext
Truthy-only overlay for TUI agent-session state on top of disk
config. Empty getattr(agent, ...) attrs MUST NOT clobber disk.
build_models_payload(ctx, *, include_unconfigured, picker_hints,
canonical_order, max_models) -> dict
Single payload builder. Delegates curation to
list_authenticated_providers (does not call provider_model_ids
per row \u2014 that pulls non-agentic models). picker_hints +
canonical_order produce the TUI ModelPickerDialog shape;
defaults match the dashboard's existing /api/model/options
contract.
Two latent bugs fixed by consolidation:
1. The dashboard read cfg.get('custom_providers') directly, missing
the v12+ keyed providers: form. Now both surfaces go through
get_compatible_custom_providers().
2. The TUI's canonical-merge keyed on is_user_defined to decide order.
Section 3 of list_authenticated_providers sets is_user_defined=True
on rows from the providers: config dict even when the slug is
canonical \u2014 that silently demoted them to the picker tail.
_reorder_canonical now keys on slug membership instead.
Stats: +666 / -145 (net +521). Module 240 LOC; 18 behavior tests.
This PR replaces the rejected #23369 (which bundled the consolidation
with new scriptable CLI surfaces \u2014 hermes models list/status, hermes
providers list \u2014 and a JSON contract that have no external user
demand). Just the refactor; the CLI surface is deferred to a separate
PR gated on actual demand.
Refs #23359.
Fixes#24127
On headless Linux VPS (no DISPLAY or WAYLAND_DISPLAY), some Python
webbrowser backends register TUI programs such as links, lynx, or
www-browser. GenericBrowser.open() spawns these without redirecting
stdin/stdout, allowing them to take over the terminal. This can cause
the process to receive SIGHUP and exit immediately even though uvicorn
bound the port successfully, producing a misleading success message
followed by an empty --status.
Fix: detect headless Linux at startup and skip the auto-open when no
display server is available. On such systems the URL is still printed
so the user can open it manually or via an SSH tunnel. The webbrowser
call is also wrapped in a try/except so any unexpected failure on other
platforms is silently absorbed rather than surfacing as an unhandled
exception in the daemon thread.
* feat(security): supply-chain advisory checker + lazy-install framework + tiered install fallback
Three coordinated mitigations for the Mini Shai-Hulud worm hitting
mistralai 2.4.6 on PyPI (2026-05-12) and for the next single-package
compromise that follows.
# What this PR makes true
1. Users with the poisoned mistralai 2.4.6 in their venv get a loud
detection banner with copy-pasteable remediation steps the moment
they run hermes (and on every gateway startup).
2. One quarantined / yanked PyPI package can no longer silently demote
a fresh install to 'core only' — the installer keeps every other
extra and tells the user which tier landed.
3. Future opt-in backends (Mistral, ElevenLabs, Honcho, etc.) can
lazy-install on first use under a strict allowlist, instead of
eagerly pulling everything at install time.
# Detection: hermes_cli/security_advisories.py
- ADVISORIES catalog (one entry currently: shai-hulud-2026-05 for
mistralai==2.4.6). Adding the next one is a single dataclass.
- detect_compromised() uses importlib.metadata.version() — no pip
dependency, works in uv venvs that lack pip.
- Banner cache (~/.hermes/cache/advisory_banner_seen) rate-limits
the startup banner to once per 24h per advisory.
- Acks persisted to security.acked_advisories in config.yaml; never
re-banner after ack.
- Wired into:
* hermes doctor — runs first, prints full remediation block
* hermes doctor --ack <id> — dismisses an advisory
* cli.py interactive run() and single-query branches — short
stderr banner pointing at hermes doctor
* gateway/run.py startup — operator-visible warning in gateway.log
# Lazy-install framework: tools/lazy_deps.py
- LAZY_DEPS allowlist maps namespaced feature keys (tts.elevenlabs,
memory.honcho, provider.bedrock, etc.) to pip specs.
- ensure(feature) installs missing deps in the active venv via the
uv → pip → ensurepip ladder (matches tools_config._pip_install).
- Strict spec safety regex rejects URLs, file paths, shell metas,
pip flag injection, control chars — only PyPI-by-name accepted.
- Gated on security.allow_lazy_installs (default true) plus the
HERMES_DISABLE_LAZY_INSTALLS env var for restricted/audited envs.
- Migrated three backends as proof of pattern:
* tools/tts_tool.py — _import_elevenlabs() calls ensure first
* plugins/memory/honcho/client.py — get_honcho_client lazy-installs
* tts.mistral / stt.mistral entries pre-registered for when PyPI
restores mistralai
# Installer fallback tiers
scripts/install.sh, scripts/install.ps1, setup-hermes.sh:
- Centralised _BROKEN_EXTRAS list (currently: mistral). Edit one
array when a transitive breaks; users keep every other extra.
- New 'all minus known-broken' tier between [all] and the existing
PyPI-only-extras tier. Only kicks in when [all] fails resolve.
- All three tiers explicit: every fallback announces which tier
landed and prints a re-run hint when not on Tier 1.
- install.ps1 and install.sh both regenerate their tier specs from
the same _BROKEN_EXTRAS array so updates stay in sync.
Side effect: install.ps1 Tier 2 spec previously hardcoded 'mistral'
in its extra list — bug fixed by the refactor (mistral is filtered
out).
# Config
hermes_cli/config.py — DEFAULT_CONFIG.security gains:
- acked_advisories: [] (advisory IDs the user has dismissed)
- allow_lazy_installs: True (security gate for ensure())
No config version bump needed — both keys nest under existing
security: block, and load_config's deep-merge picks up DEFAULT_CONFIG
defaults for users with older configs.
# Tests
tests/hermes_cli/test_security_advisories.py — 23 tests covering:
- detect_compromised matches/non-matches, wildcard frozenset
- ack persistence, idempotence, blank rejection, config-failure path
- banner cache rate limiting + 24h re-banner + ack-stops-banner
- short_banner_lines / full_remediation_text / render_doctor_section /
gateway_log_message
- shipped catalog well-formedness invariant
tests/tools/test_lazy_deps.py — 40 tests covering:
- spec safety: 11 safe parametrized + 18 unsafe parametrized
- allowlist: unknown-feature rejection, namespace.name shape,
every shipped spec passes the safety regex
- security gating: config flag, env var, default, fail-open
- ensure() happy/sad paths: already-satisfied, install success,
pip stderr surfaced on failure, install-succeeds-but-still-missing
- is_available, feature_install_command
Combined: 63 new tests, all passing under scripts/run_tests.sh.
# Validation
- scripts/run_tests.sh tests/hermes_cli/test_security_advisories.py

<https://socket.dev/blog/mini-shai-hulud-worm-pypi>
* build(deps): pin every direct dep to ==X.Y.Z (no ranges)
Companion to the supply-chain advisory work: replace every >=/</~= range
in pyproject.toml's [project.dependencies] and [project.optional-dependencies]
with an exact ==X.Y.Z pin sourced from uv.lock.
Why: ranges allow PyPI to ship a fresh version of any direct dep at any
time without a code review on our side. With ranges, the malicious
mistralai 2.4.6 release would have been pulled by every fresh
'pip install -e .[all]' for the hours between upload and PyPI's
quarantine — exactly the install window we got hit on. Exact pins close
that window: the only way a new package version reaches a user is via
an intentional update on our end.
What the user-facing change is: nothing, behavior-wise. Every package
resolves to the same version it was already resolving to via uv.lock —
the pins just remove the resolver's freedom to pick a different one.
Cost: any user installing Hermes alongside another package that requires
a newer pin gets a resolver conflict. Acceptable for our isolated-venv
install path; documented in the new comment block.
Build-system requires line (setuptools>=61.0) is intentionally left
as a range — pinning the build backend would block fresh pip from
bootstrapping the build on architectures where that exact wheel isn't
available.
mistral extra (mistralai==2.3.0) is pinned but stays out of [all]
(per PR #24205). 'uv lock' regeneration will fail until PyPI restores
mistralai; lockfile regeneration is gated behind that, NOT on every PR.
LAZY_DEPS in tools/lazy_deps.py also moved to exact pins so the lazy-
install pathway can never resolve a different version than the one
declared in pyproject.toml.
Validation:
- Cross-checked all 77 pinned direct deps in pyproject.toml against
uv.lock — every pin matches the resolved version exactly.
- Cross-checked all LAZY_DEPS specs against uv.lock — same.
- 'uv pip install -e .[all] --dry-run' resolves 205 packages cleanly.
- tests/tools/test_lazy_deps.py + tests/hermes_cli/test_security_advisories.py
→ 63/63 passing (every shipped spec passes the safety regex).
- Doctor + TTS + transcription targeted suite → 146/146 passing.
* build(deps): hash-verify transitives via uv.lock; remove unresolvable [mistral] extra
You asked: 'what about the dependencies the dependencies rely on?' —
correctly noting that exact-pinning direct deps in pyproject.toml does
NOT cover the transitive graph. `pip install` and `uv pip install` both
re-resolve transitives fresh from PyPI at install time, so a compromised
transitive (e.g. `httpcore` if it got worm-poisoned tomorrow) would
still hit our users even with every direct dep exact-pinned.
# What this commit fixes
1. **Both real installer scripts now prefer `uv sync --locked` as Tier 0.**
uv.lock records SHA256 hashes for every transitive — a compromised
package with a different hash gets REJECTED. Falls through to the
existing `uv pip install` cascade if the lockfile is missing or
stale, with a loud warning that the fallback path does NOT
hash-verify transitives. Previously only `setup-hermes.sh` (the dev
path) used the lockfile; `scripts/install.sh` and `scripts/install.ps1`
(the paths fresh users actually run) skipped it.
2. **Removed the `[mistral]` extra entirely.** The `mistralai` PyPI
project is fully quarantined right now — every version returns 404,
so any pin we wrote was unresolvable, which broke `uv lock --check`
in CI. Restoration is documented in pyproject.toml as a 5-step
checklist (verify, re-add extra, re-enable in 4 modules, regenerate
lock, optionally re-add to [all]).
3. **Regenerated uv.lock.** 262 packages, mistralai/eval-type-backport/
jsonpath-python pruned. `uv lock --check` now passes.
# Defense-in-depth view
| Layer | Where | Protects against |
|----------------------------|-------------------|-------------------------------------------|
| Exact pins in pyproject | direct deps | new mistralai 2.4.6-style direct compromise |
| uv.lock + `--locked` install | transitive graph | transitive worm injection |
| Tier-0 hash-verified path | install.sh / .ps1 | actually USE the lockfile in fresh installs |
| `uv lock --check` CI gate | every PR | drift between pyproject and lockfile |
| `hermes_cli/security_advisories.py` | runtime | cleanup for users who already got hit |
The exact pinning + hash verification together close the supply-chain
gap. Without the lockfile path, exact pins alone are theater.
# Validation
- `uv lock --check` → passes (262 packages resolved, no drift).
- `bash -n` on install.sh + setup-hermes.sh → OK.
- 209/209 tests passing across new + adjacent test files
(test_lazy_deps.py, test_security_advisories.py, test_doctor.py,
test_tts_mistral.py, test_transcription_tools.py).
- TOML parse OK.
* chore: remove community announcement drafts (PR body covers it)
* build(deps): lazy-install every opt-in backend (anthropic, search, terminal, platforms, dashboard)
Extends the lazy-install framework to cover everything that's not used by
every hermes session. Base install drops from ~60 packages to 45.
Moved out of core dependencies = []:
- anthropic (only when provider=anthropic native, not via aggregators)
- exa-py, firecrawl-py, parallel-web (search backends; only when picked)
- fal-client (image gen; only when picked)
- edge-tts (default TTS but still optional)
New extras in pyproject.toml: [anthropic] [exa] [firecrawl] [parallel-web]
[fal] [edge-tts]. All added to [all].
New LAZY_DEPS entries: provider.anthropic, search.{exa,firecrawl,parallel},
tts.edge, image.fal, memory.hindsight, platform.{telegram,discord,matrix},
terminal.{modal,daytona,vercel}, tool.dashboard.
Each import site now calls ensure() before importing the SDK. Where the
module had a top-level try/except (telegram, discord, fastapi), the
graceful-fallback pattern was extended to lazy-install on first
check_*_requirements() call and re-bind module globals.
Updated test_windows_native_support.py tzdata check from snapshot
(>=2023.3 literal) to invariant (any version + win32 marker).
Validation:
- Base install: 45 packages (was ~60); 6 newly-extracted packages absent
- uv lock --check: passes (262 packages, no drift)
- 209/209 lazy_deps + advisory + doctor + tts/transcription tests passing
- py_compile clean on all 12 modified modules
The `mistralai` PyPI package was quarantined on 2026-05-12 after a
malicious 2.4.6 release. Every fresh resolve (AUR makepkg, Docker build,
CI run, install.sh first-run) currently fails on
`mistralai>=2.3.0,<3` because PyPI returns zero candidates.
Existing users running `hermes update` mostly didn't notice — `hermes
update` falls back from `.[all]` to per-extra retries and silently
skips mistral with a warning that scrolls past. But fresh installs
hard-fail or lose every other extra.
Changes:
- pyproject.toml: drop `hermes-agent[mistral]` from `[all]` and
`[termux-all]`. The `mistral` extra itself is preserved so users
can opt back in once PyPI un-quarantines.
- hermes_cli/tools_config.py: hide Mistral Voxtral TTS from the
`hermes tools` provider picker until restored.
- hermes_cli/web_server.py: drop "mistral" from dashboard STT options.
- tools/transcription_tools.py: explicit `provider: mistral` returns
"none" with a clear status message; auto-detect skips mistral.
- tools/tts_tool.py: dispatcher returns a clear "temporarily disabled"
error before any SDK import attempt (avoids cached-stale-package
surprises).
- tests/tools/: update three test files to assert the new disabled
behavior. Each test docstring records why and points at the rollback
trigger (PyPI un-quarantines mistralai).
Restore plan: revert this commit once the package is available on PyPI
again. The behavior change is intentional and documented in code
comments + test docstrings to make the rollback trivial.
Validation:
- scripts/run_tests.sh tests/tools/ -k 'mistral or stt or tts' →
425/425 passing.

Handle MiniMax OAuth expiry values consistently across CLI and dashboard
flows, fix CLI status/add behavior, and force pooled OAuth runtime
requests through Anthropic Messages.
- web_server._minimax_poller: parse expired_in via the shared resolver
so unix-ms absolute timestamps stop landing as TTL seconds and crashing
with 'year 583911 is out of range' when a user connects MiniMax OAuth
from the dashboard.
- auth._minimax_oauth_login / _refresh_minimax_oauth_state: same fix on
the CLI login + refresh paths.
- auth.get_auth_status: dispatch minimax-oauth to its dedicated status
function instead of falling through.
- auth_commands.auth_add_command: 'hermes auth add minimax-oauth' now
starts the device-code login flow and persists a pool entry with the
access + refresh tokens, instead of requiring credentials to already
exist.
- runtime_provider._resolve_runtime_from_pool_entry: pin pooled
minimax-oauth credentials to anthropic_messages so a stale
model.api_mode: chat_completions can't send requests to
/anthropic/chat/completions and trigger MiniMax nginx 404s.

Fixes#22832.
## Root cause
`hermes_cli/web_server.py:start_oauth_login` dispatched OAuth flows by
the catalog's `flow` field rather than provider id:
if catalog_entry["flow"] == "pkce":
return _start_anthropic_pkce()
The catalog had two `flow: "pkce"` entries — `anthropic` and
`minimax-oauth` — so clicking "Login" on MiniMax in the dashboard's
Keys tab unconditionally launched the Anthropic/Claude PKCE flow.
## Fix
Three changes in `hermes_cli/web_server.py`:
1. Catalog entry for `minimax-oauth` changed from `flow: "pkce"` to
`flow: "device_code"`. From a UX perspective MiniMax is a
verification-URI + user-code flow (open URL, enter code, backend
polls) — same shape as Nous's device-code flow. The PKCE bit
(verifier + challenge from `_minimax_pkce_pair`) is a security
extension that doesn't change the operator experience; the existing
dashboard modal already renders `device_code` correctly for this UX.
2. New MiniMax branch in `_start_device_code_flow`, mirroring the
existing Nous branch but calling MiniMax-specific helpers
(`_minimax_request_user_code`, `_minimax_pkce_pair`). Stashes
verifier + state in the session for the poller to consume. Handles
the overloaded `expired_in` field (could be unix-ms timestamp OR
seconds-from-now duration) the same way `_minimax_poll_token` does.
3. New `_minimax_poller` background thread mirroring `_nous_poller`.
Calls `_minimax_poll_token` → on success builds the same
`auth_state` dict the CLI flow (`_minimax_oauth_login`) builds, and
persists via `_minimax_save_auth_state` so the dashboard path leaves
the system in the same state as `hermes auth add minimax-oauth`.
Plus a dispatcher tightening to prevent regression: the `pkce` branch
now requires `provider_id == "anthropic"`, so any future PKCE provider
added without a proper start function gets a clean
`400 Unsupported flow` rather than silently launching Anthropic OAuth.
## Test
New `tests/hermes_cli/test_web_oauth_dispatch.py`:
- Regression test asserting MiniMax start does NOT return claude.ai
- Sanity test that Anthropic PKCE still works after the dispatcher
tightening
- Forward-looking test: a hypothetical pkce-flagged provider without
an explicit branch is rejected cleanly rather than misrouted
## Limitations
- The dashboard MiniMax path defaults to `region="global"`. CN-region
operators can still use the CLI flow which supports `--region cn`.
Adding a region toggle to the dashboard UI is a follow-up.
Replace with for all literal-tuple
membership tests. Set lookup is O(1) vs O(n) for tuple — consistent
micro-optimization across the codebase.
608 instances fixed via `ruff --fix --unsafe-fixes`, 0 remaining.
133 files, +626/-626 (net zero).
Remove the blanket /api/plugins/* exemption from auth_middleware so
plugin API routes (e.g. Kanban dashboard) require the same session
token as all other /api/ endpoints.
Fixes#19533
Follow-up to PR #21293 (cli.py), which fixed the same anti-pattern.
`asyncio.get_event_loop()` is documented as effectively "always returns
the running loop when called from a coroutine" and emits
DeprecationWarning/RuntimeWarning in some interpreter configurations.
The Python docs explicitly recommend get_running_loop() inside coroutines.
Replaces the remaining 9 call sites that are unconditionally inside
async def bodies:
- tools/browser_cdp_tool.py — _cdp_call() (4 sites): deadline + remaining
computations inside the async websockets.connect context manager.
- hermes_cli/web_server.py — get_status, _start_device_code_flow,
submit_oauth_code (3 sites): all FastAPI async endpoints offloading
blocking httpx / PKCE work to run_in_executor.
- environments/agent_loop.py — HermesAgentLoop (1 site): tool dispatch
inside the async rollout loop.
- environments/benchmarks/terminalbench_2/terminalbench2_env.py —
rollout_and_score_eval (1 site): test verification thread offload.
All 9 sites are unconditionally inside async def bodies, so a running
loop is guaranteed and no try/except RuntimeError fallback is needed
(unlike the cli.py case in #21293, which ran from a background thread).
Behavior is identical on supported Python versions; aligns the codebase
with the post-#21293 idiom and avoids future warnings as the deprecation
hardens.
Salvaged from PR #21930 by @Zhekinmaksim onto current main (the
original branch was 109 commits behind and carried unintended
stale-branch reverts of unrelated landed changes — _tail_lines
encoding=utf-8 and the Windows PTY bridge guard). Only the 9 swaps
from the PR's intended scope are applied here.
Closes the last Python-on-Windows UTF-8 exposure by making every
text-mode open() call explicit about its encoding.
Before: on Windows, bare open(path, 'r') defaults to the system
locale encoding (cp1252 on US-locale installs). That means reading
any config/yaml/markdown/json file with non-ASCII content either
crashes with UnicodeDecodeError or silently mis-decodes bytes.
After: all 89 affected call sites in production code now pass
encoding='utf-8' explicitly. Works identically on every platform
and every locale, no surprise behavior.
Mechanical sweep via:
ruff check --preview --extend-select PLW1514 --unsafe-fixes --fix --exclude 'tests,venv,.venv,node_modules,website,optional-skills, skills,tinker-atropos,plugins' .
All 89 fixes have the same shape: open(x) or open(x, mode) became
open(x, encoding='utf-8') or open(x, mode, encoding='utf-8'). Nothing
else changed. Every modified file still parses and the Windows/sandbox
test suite is still green (85 passed, 14 skipped, 0 failed across
tests/tools/test_code_execution_windows_env.py +
tests/tools/test_code_execution_modes.py + tests/tools/test_env_passthrough.py +
tests/test_hermes_bootstrap.py).
Scope notes:
- tests/ excluded: test fixtures can use locale encoding intentionally
(exercising edge cases). If we want to tighten tests later that's
a separate PR.
- plugins/ excluded: plugin-specific conventions may differ; plugin
authors own their code.
- optional-skills/ and skills/ excluded: skill scripts are user-authored
and we don't want to mass-edit them.
- website/ and tinker-atropos/ excluded: vendored / generated content.
46 files touched, 89 +/- lines (symmetric replacement). No behavior
change on POSIX or on Windows when the file is ASCII; bug fix on
Windows when the file contains non-ASCII.
Native Windows (with Git for Windows installed) can now run the Hermes CLI
and gateway end-to-end without crashing. install.ps1 already existed and
the Git Bash terminal backend was already wired up — this PR fills the
remaining gaps discovered by auditing every Windows-unsafe primitive
(`signal.SIGKILL`, `os.kill(pid, 0)` probes, bare `fcntl`/`termios`
imports) and by comparing hermes against how Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex,
and Cline handle native Windows.
## What changed
### UTF-8 stdio (new module)
- `hermes_cli/stdio.py` — single `configure_windows_stdio()` entry point.
Flips the console code page to CP_UTF8 (65001), reconfigures
`sys.stdout`/`stderr`/`stdin` to UTF-8, sets `PYTHONIOENCODING` + `PYTHONUTF8`
for subprocesses. No-op on non-Windows. Opt out via `HERMES_DISABLE_WINDOWS_UTF8=1`.
- Called early in `cli.py::main`, `hermes_cli/main.py::main`, and
`gateway/run.py::main` so Unicode banners (box-drawing, geometric
symbols, non-Latin chat text) don't `UnicodeEncodeError` on cp1252
consoles.
### Crash sites fixed
- `hermes_cli/main.py:7970` (hermes update → stuck gateway sweep): raw
`os.kill(pid, _signal.SIGKILL)` → `gateway.status.terminate_pid(pid, force=True)`
which routes through `taskkill /T /F` on Windows.
- `hermes_cli/profiles.py::_stop_gateway_process`: same fix — also
converted SIGTERM path to `terminate_pid()` and widened OSError catch
on the intermediate `os.kill(pid, 0)` probe.
- `hermes_cli/kanban_db.py:2914, 3041`: raw `signal.SIGKILL` →
`getattr(signal, "SIGKILL", signal.SIGTERM)` fallback (matches the
pattern already used in `gateway/status.py`).
### OSError widening on `os.kill(pid, 0)` probes
Windows raises `OSError` (WinError 87) for a gone PID instead of
`ProcessLookupError`. Widened the catch at:
- `gateway/run.py:15101` (`--replace` wait-for-exit loop — without this,
the loop busy-spins the full 10s every Windows gateway start)
- `hermes_cli/gateway.py:228, 460, 940`
- `hermes_cli/profiles.py:777`
- `tools/process_registry.py::_is_host_pid_alive`
- `tools/browser_tool.py:1170, 1206`
### Dashboard PTY graceful degradation
`hermes_cli/pty_bridge.py` depends on `fcntl`/`termios`/`ptyprocess`,
none of which exist on native Windows. Previously a Windows dashboard
would crash on `import hermes_cli.web_server` because of a top-level
import. Now:
- `hermes_cli/web_server.py` wraps the pty_bridge import in
`try/except ImportError` and sets `_PTY_BRIDGE_AVAILABLE=False`.
- The `/api/pty` WebSocket handler returns a friendly "use WSL2 for
this tab" message instead of exploding.
- Every other dashboard feature (sessions, jobs, metrics, config
editor) runs natively on Windows.
### Dependency
- `pyproject.toml`: add `tzdata>=2023.3; sys_platform == 'win32'` so
Python's `zoneinfo` works on Windows (which has no IANA tzdata
shipped with the OS). Credits @sprmn24 (PR #13182).
### Docs
- README.md: removed "Native Windows is not supported"; added
PowerShell one-liner and Git-for-Windows prerequisite note.
- `website/docs/getting-started/installation.md`: new Windows section
with capability matrix (everything native except the dashboard
`/chat` PTY tab, which is WSL2-only).
- `website/docs/user-guide/windows-wsl-quickstart.md`: reframed as
"WSL2 as an alternative to native" rather than "the only way".
- `website/docs/developer-guide/contributing.md`: updated
cross-platform guidance with the `signal.SIGKILL` / `OSError`
rules we enforce now.
- `website/docs/user-guide/features/web-dashboard.md`: acknowledged
native Windows works for everything except the embedded PTY pane.
## Why this shape
Pulled from a survey of how other agent codebases handle native
Windows (Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex, Cline):
- All four treat Git Bash as the canonical shell on Windows, same as
hermes already does in `tools/environments/local.py::_find_bash()`.
- None of them force `SetConsoleOutputCP` — but they don't have to,
Node/Rust write UTF-16 to the Win32 console API. Python does not get
that for free, so we flip CP_UTF8 via ctypes.
- None of them ship PowerShell-as-primary-shell (Claude Code exposes
PS as a secondary tool; scope creep for this PR).
- All of them use `taskkill /T /F` for force-kill on Windows, which
is exactly what `gateway.status.terminate_pid(force=True)` does.
## Non-goals (deliberate scope limits)
- No PowerShell-as-a-second-shell tool — worth designing separately.
- No terminal routing rewrite (#12317, #15461, #19800 cluster) — that's
the hardest design call and needs a separate doc.
- No wholesale `open()` → `open(..., encoding="utf-8")` sweep (Tianworld
cluster) — will do as follow-up if users hit actual breakage; most
modern code already specifies it.
## Validation
- 28 new tests in `tests/tools/test_windows_native_support.py` — all
platform-mocked, pass on Linux CI. Cover:
- `configure_windows_stdio` idempotency, opt-out, env-preservation
- `terminate_pid` taskkill routing, failure → OSError, FileNotFoundError fallback
- `getattr(signal, "SIGKILL", …)` fallback shape
- `_is_host_pid_alive` OSError widening (Windows-gone-PID behavior)
- Source-level checks that all entry points call `configure_windows_stdio`
- pty_bridge import-guard present in `web_server.py`
- README no longer says "not supported"
- 12 pre-existing tests in `tests/tools/test_windows_compat.py` still pass.
- `tests/hermes_cli/` ran fully (3909 passed, 9 failures — all confirmed
pre-existing on main by stash-test).
- `tests/gateway/` ran fully (5021 passed, 1 pre-existing failure).
- `tests/tools/test_process_registry.py` + `test_browser_*` pass.
- Manual smoke: `import hermes_cli.stdio; import gateway.run;
import hermes_cli.web_server` — all clean, `_PTY_BRIDGE_AVAILABLE=True`
on Linux (as expected).

- 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.
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.
The Hermes dashboard previously assumed it was served at the root of its
host (e.g. https://kanban.tilos.com/). When mounted behind a path-prefix
reverse proxy (e.g. https://mission-control.tilos.com/hermes/), the SPA
404'd because:
- index.html shipped absolute /assets/index-*.js URLs
- React Router had no basename
- The plugin loader hit /dashboard-plugins/<name>/... at the root host
- CSS in the bundle had absolute url(/fonts/...) references
This patch makes the dashboard prefix-aware at runtime, no rebuild
required. The proxy injects 'X-Forwarded-Prefix: /hermes' on every
request and the Python server:
- Rewrites href/src in served index.html to '${prefix}/assets/...'
- Injects 'window.__HERMES_BASE_PATH__="${prefix}"' for the SPA to read
- Rewrites url() refs in CSS at serve time
The SPA reads window.__HERMES_BASE_PATH__ once at boot and:
- Prefixes all /api/... fetches via api.ts
- Prefixes all /dashboard-plugins/... script/css URLs in usePlugins
- Sets <BrowserRouter basename={...}> so client-side routing works
When no X-Forwarded-Prefix header is present, behavior is unchanged
(empty prefix => serves at root, kanban.tilos.com keeps working).

Widen PR #20314's fix to the other timeout-polling sites in the codebase
that share the same wall-clock-jump bug class. All of these measure elapsed
timeout duration, not civil time, so they belong on time.monotonic().
- hermes_cli/auth.py: auth-store file-lock timeout, Spotify OAuth callback
wait, Nous portal device-auth token poll.
- hermes_cli/copilot_auth.py: Copilot OAuth device-flow token poll.
- hermes_cli/gateway.py: gateway systemd restart wait.
- hermes_cli/web_server.py: dashboard Codex device-auth user_code wait,
dashboard Nous device-auth token poll. (sess["expires_at"] stays on
time.time() — it's a persisted absolute timestamp, not a local
deadline-polling variable.)
- agent/copilot_acp_client.py: Copilot ACP JSON-RPC request timeout.
Adds `hermes profile create <name> --no-skills` to create a profile with
zero bundled skills. Writes a `.no-bundled-skills` marker file in the
profile root so `hermes update`'s all-profile skill sync loop also skips
the profile — without the marker, every update would re-seed skills and
the user would have to delete them again.
Use case (from @hiut1u): orchestrator profiles and narrow-task profiles
don't need 100+ bundled skills polluting their system prompt.
- create_profile() gains a `no_skills` param, mutually exclusive with
`--clone` / `--clone-all` (cloning explicitly copies skills).
- seed_profile_skills() no-ops on opted-out profiles and returns
`{skipped_opt_out: True}` so callers can report cleanly.
- Web API (POST /api/profiles) accepts `no_skills: bool`.
- Delete `.no-bundled-skills` to opt back in — next `hermes update`
re-seeds normally.
6 new tests in TestNoSkillsOptOut cover marker write, mutual exclusion
with clone, seed_profile_skills opt-out, fresh profile unaffected, and
delete-marker-re-enables-seeding.
Same Hermes Teal palette as the default theme, but with baseSize 18px,
lineHeight 1.65, and spacious density so the whole dashboard scales up.
Gives users a one-click bigger-text preset and a copyable reference for
authoring custom YAML themes with their own typography settings.
Adds an optional dashboard side-process to the container entrypoint,
toggled by `HERMES_DASHBOARD=1` (also accepts `true` / `yes`). When set,
the entrypoint backgrounds `hermes dashboard` before `exec`-ing the main
command so the user's chosen foreground process (gateway, chat, `sleep
infinity`, …) remains PID-of-interest for the container runtime.
docker run -d \
-v ~/.hermes:/opt/data \
-p 8642:8642 -p 9119:9119 \
-e HERMES_DASHBOARD=1 \
nousresearch/hermes-agent gateway run
Defaults chosen for the container case:
- Host: 0.0.0.0 (reachable through published port; can override to
127.0.0.1 via HERMES_DASHBOARD_HOST for sidecar/reverse-proxy setups)
- Port: 9119 (matches `hermes dashboard`)
- Auto-adds `--insecure` when binding to non-localhost, matching the
dashboard's own safety gate for exposing API keys
- HERMES_DASHBOARD_TUI is read by `hermes dashboard` directly — no
entrypoint plumbing needed
Dashboard output is prefixed with `[dashboard]` via `stdbuf`+`sed -u` so
it's easy to separate from gateway logs in `docker logs`. No supervision:
if the dashboard crashes it stays down until the container restarts
(documented in the `:::note` panel).
Other changes bundled in:
- Deprecate GATEWAY_HEALTH_URL / GATEWAY_HEALTH_TIMEOUT env vars in
hermes_cli/web_server.py with a DEPRECATED block comment and a
`.. deprecated::` note on _probe_gateway_health. The feature still
works for this release; it'll be removed alongside the move to a
first-class dashboard config key.
- Rewrite the "Running the dashboard" doc section around the new
single-container pattern. Drops the previously-documented
dashboard-as-its-own-container setup — that pattern relied on the
deprecated env vars for cross-container gateway-liveness detection,
and without them the dashboard would permanently report the gateway
as "not running".
- Collapse the two-service Compose example (gateway + dashboard
container) into a single service with HERMES_DASHBOARD=1. Removes
the now-unnecessary bridge network and `depends_on`.
- Drop the ":::warning" caveat about "Running a dashboard container
alongside the gateway is safe" — that case no longer exists.
