Salvages #23302 by @Bartok9. Four independent one-area fixes:
1. kanban boards delete alias now hard-deletes (not archives) — the
alias didn't carry --delete, so getattr(args, 'delete', False)
returned False. Detect boards_action=='delete' explicitly.
2. Gateway auto-title failures no longer leak as user-visible
warnings — debug-log only since they're not actionable.
3. Background process completion notification snaps truncation to
the next newline boundary, prepends a marker when content is
dropped.
4. _cprint() schedules the run_in_terminal coroutine via
asyncio.ensure_future so output isn't silently dropped from
background threads (fixes#23185 Bug A). Skips the
double-print fallback that would fire for mock paths.
Salvages #22981 by @SimbaKingjoe. Adds 'kanban.max_in_progress' config
that caps simultaneously running tasks. When the board already has N
running, dispatcher skips spawning so slow workers (local LLMs,
resource-constrained hosts) don't pile up and time out.
Threads through dispatch_once(max_in_progress=) and gateway dispatcher
config parsing with validation (warns on invalid/below-1 values).
Salvages #26431 by @LeonSGP43. Dashboard plugin_api list_diagnostics
was using exact-match (severity == filter), so '--severity warning'
hid 'error' and 'critical' diagnostics. Adds severity_at_or_above()
helper to kanban_diagnostics and uses it in the dashboard endpoint
(CLI already used SEVERITY_ORDER comparison correctly).
Salvages #27369 by @LeonJS. complete_task() now calls _cleanup_workspace()
and _cleanup_worker_tmux() after marking a task complete.
Scratch workspaces (used by swarm agents) accumulate on disk — hundreds
of MB per task, never released. Stale tmux sessions from completed
agents also persist indefinitely.
Both gates are safe:
- workspace_kind == 'scratch' gate preserves user worktree/dir workspaces
- tmux #{pane_dead} == 1 gate only kills sessions where the worker has
already exited
- best-effort: cleanup failures never block task completion
Salvages #27526 by @shunsuke-hikiyama. Adds an --initial-status flag
(running|blocked, default running) to 'kanban create', threaded through
kanban_db.create_task() and the kanban_create tool schema. 'blocked'
parks the task directly in the blocked column for R3 human-ops review,
skipping the brief running-to-blocked transition.
Dropped the unrelated 'add' alias, WIFEXITED Windows compat, and
slash-handler error formatting changes that were bundled in the
original PR — those should ship as their own focused changes if still
wanted.
Salvages #23368 by @uzunkuyruk. Oneshot workers (e.g. kanban workers
spawned via 'hermes -p <profile> chat -q ...') were not honouring the
profile's fallback_providers / fallback_model chain because oneshot.py
never read the config and never passed fallback_model= to AIAgent.
Reads cfg.get('fallback_providers') (new list format) or
cfg.get('fallback_model') (legacy single-dict) with the same
normalization cli.py applies, then forwards as fallback_model=_fb.
Salvages #27372 by @oemtalks. The dispatcher unconditionally injected
`--skills kanban-worker` into every worker spawn, but worker profiles
sometimes don't have that bundled skill in their skills dir, which is
fatal at CLI startup (`ValueError: Unknown skill(s): kanban-worker`).
Adds `_kanban_worker_skill_available(hermes_home)` and only injects the
flag when the skill resolves. The MANDATORY lifecycle still ships via
KANBAN_GUIDANCE in the system prompt, so omitting the flag is safe.
Salvages #28301 by @Ade5954. If WAL setup, PRAGMA application, or schema
init raises after sqlite3.connect() succeeds, the new connection was
leaking. Wrap the body in try/except so the connection is closed before
the exception propagates.
Prevents ValueError crash in dashboard get_board() when a task has
an ISO timestamp (e.g. "2026-05-10T15:00:00Z") instead of a unix epoch
int. Adds _to_epoch() helper that normalises both formats.
When a systemic failure (provider outage, auth expiry, OOM) crashes
multiple workers simultaneously, detect_crashed_workers increments
each task failure counter independently. The circuit breaker only
trips after N × failure_limit retries across the fleet.
Fingerprint crash errors by normalizing host-specific details (PIDs,
timestamps). When 3+ tasks crash with the same fingerprint in a
single detection cycle, immediately trip the circuit breaker
(failure_limit=1) instead of waiting for repeated failures.
Isolated crashes (unique fingerprints) retain their normal retry
budget. Protocol violations continue to trip immediately.
Includes regression tests for systemic and isolated crash paths.
When a task is manually unblocked (blocked → ready/todo), the
consecutive_failures counter and last_failure_error were left intact.
The next failure would immediately re-trip the circuit breaker because
the counter was still at or above the failure limit.
Reset both fields on unblock so the task gets a fresh retry budget.
Includes a regression test that verifies counters are zeroed.
max_runtime_seconds=0 was being silently coerced to None due to a falsy
check (if max_runtime_seconds). Zero is a valid value that causes the
dispatcher to immediately time out a task. The adjacent max_retries
parameter already used the correct 'is not None' pattern.
Fixes the inconsistency by aligning max_runtime_seconds with max_retries.
recompute_ready only scanned 'todo' tasks for promotion, ignoring
'blocked' tasks entirely. When a task was blocked (e.g. by the circuit
breaker) and its parent dependencies later completed, the task stayed
stuck in 'blocked' forever unless manually unblocked.
Now recompute_ready also scans 'blocked' tasks. When all parents are
done/archived, the blocked task is promoted to 'ready' with failure
counters reset — equivalent to an automatic unblock.
Includes a regression test for the blocked-parent-done promotion path.
Archiving or deleting a board via remove_board() leaves the path's
"schema already initialized" entry in the module-level cache. A
concurrent connect(board=<slug>) call (e.g. the dashboard event-stream
poll loop) then:
1. resolves the same kanban.db path,
2. recreates the directory + an empty sqlite file because
connect() does mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True),
3. skips the CREATE TABLE pass because the cache entry says the
schema is already in place,
4. errors on the next read with `no such table: task_events`.
Drop the cache entry before mutating the filesystem so the fresh file
gets a proper schema init on next connect(). Applies to both
archive=True (rename) and archive=False (rmtree) branches.
Fixes#23833.

- Add model_override field to Task class and tasks schema
- Add migration for existing databases
- Spawn worker with -m model when model_override is set
Register the new ``--manual-paste`` flag on both entry points and
thread it through to the xAI loopback login:
* ``hermes auth add xai-oauth --manual-paste`` — pool-add path,
forwarded inside ``auth_commands.handle_auth_add``.
* ``hermes model --manual-paste`` — model-picker path, forwarded
by ``_model_flow_xai_oauth`` into the synthetic ``argparse.Namespace``
it passes to ``_login_xai_oauth``. The picker also now forwards
``--no-browser`` and ``--timeout`` for consistency (previously
hardcoded to defaults regardless of CLI flags).
Help text on both flags points at #26923 and names the
browser-only remote consoles (Cloud Shell, Codespaces, EC2
Instance Connect) so users searching ``hermes --help`` can find
the workaround.
xAI Grok OAuth (and Spotify) use a loopback redirect to
``http://127.0.0.1:<port>/callback`` to capture the authorization
code. That works when the browser and Hermes run on the same
machine, and the SSH tunnel recipe handles the regular remote
case. It breaks completely on **browser-only remote consoles**
(GCP Cloud Shell, GitHub Codespaces, AWS EC2 Instance Connect,
Gitpod, Replit, …) where the user has a browser but no real SSH
client to forward a port — the redirect to 127.0.0.1 on the
remote VM simply isn't reachable from the laptop, and there's
nothing the existing flow can do about it (#26923).
This commit adds the foundation for a manual-paste fallback:
* ``_is_remote_session`` now also recognises Cloud Shell,
Codespaces, Gitpod, Replit, StackBlitz (in addition to SSH),
so the existing tunnel hint at least fires in those
environments.
* ``_parse_pasted_callback`` accepts any of: a full
``http(s)://...?code=...&state=...`` URL, a bare ``?code=...``
query string, a bare ``code=...&state=...`` fragment, or a
bare opaque code value. Returns the same dict shape the HTTP
callback handler produces, so the caller's state / error
validation works unchanged (no CSRF bypass).
* ``_prompt_manual_callback_paste`` reads stdin with a clear
multi-line explanation of what's happening and what to paste.
* ``_xai_oauth_loopback_login`` gains a ``manual_paste`` kwarg
that skips the HTTP listener entirely. The redirect_uri,
PKCE verifier, state, and nonce are byte-identical to the
loopback path so xAI's token endpoint can't tell the
difference at the protocol level.
* ``_print_loopback_ssh_hint`` now also mentions
``--manual-paste`` so users without a real SSH client see a
path forward instead of a dead-end tunnel recipe.
* ``_login_xai_oauth`` threads ``args.manual_paste`` into the
loopback helper.
Salvages #19964 by @Beandon13. Adds `hermes kanban archive --rm` to
permanently remove already-archived tasks with cascading cleanup of
links, comments, events, runs, and notify-subs. Safety guard: only
archived tasks can be deleted; active/blocked/done must be archived
first.
Cherry-picked from #19964 onto current main (severe stale base, applied
manually to preserve substance only).
xAI's token endpoint returns HTTP 403 to the OAuth grant when the
account isn't on the allowlist for API access (e.g. standard
SuperGrok subscribers — see #26847). Treating it like a stale-token
400/401 made ``format_auth_error`` append "Run ``hermes model`` to
re-authenticate", which is misleading because re-login can't change
xAI's tier decision.
Split 403 off in both ``refresh_xai_oauth_pure`` and the loopback
login token exchange:
* New error code ``xai_oauth_tier_denied`` with ``relogin_required=False``
* Message explains the entitlement gate and points at the
``XAI_API_KEY`` + ``provider: xai`` fallback
* 400/401 still set ``relogin_required=True`` as before
* 5xx still set ``relogin_required=False`` as before
When the kanban auto-decomposer fans a triage task into child tasks,
recompute_ready() immediately promotes parent-free children to 'ready'
so the dispatcher picks them up. Some users want a manual workflow
where children stay in 'todo' for review before dispatch.
Add 'kanban.auto_promote_children' config key (default: true):
- false: children stay in 'todo' after decomposition
- true: existing behavior (auto-promote to 'ready')
Changes:
- kanban_db.py: decompose_triage_task() gains auto_promote param
- kanban_decompose.py: reads auto_promote_children from config
- kanban dashboard API: exposes the new setting in GET/PUT /orchestration
Closes#28016
resolve_xai_oauth_runtime_credentials() called _refresh_xai_oauth_tokens()
with no try/except. A terminal refresh failure (HTTP 400/401/403 —
invalid_grant, token revoked) propagated without clearing the dead
access_token / refresh_token from auth.json, causing every subsequent
session to retry the same doomed network request.
Add a try/except around the refresh call that mirrors the existing
credential_pool.py quarantine: when _is_terminal_xai_oauth_refresh_error
identifies a non-retryable failure, clear the dead token fields from
auth.json and write a last_auth_error diagnostic marker so future calls
fail fast with a clear relogin_required error instead of hitting the
network.
active_provider is preserved (set_active=False) so multi-provider users
whose chosen provider is not xai-oauth are unaffected.
Tests: two new cases in test_auth_xai_oauth_provider.py cover terminal
quarantine and transient pass-through.
Plugin discovery exceptions in gateway startup (gateway/run.py) and
CLI startup (hermes_cli/main.py) are caught and logged at DEBUG
level, making them invisible at the default INFO log level.
If any plugin import fails — syntax error, missing dependency, import
cycle — operators get zero indication unless they bump the log level
to DEBUG. This makes broken plugins appear enabled but silently
non-functional.
Change both locations to logger.warning() so failures are visible at
production log levels.

* feat: add /update slash command to CLI and TUI
* test(cli): add Python tests for /update slash command
Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
* fix(cli): address Copilot review for /update slash command
Route classic CLI /update through prompt_toolkit modal confirmation and
defer relaunch to the main-thread cleanup path after app.exit(). Tighten
Y/n semantics, add Python wrapper and catalog coverage tests, and assert
/update stays visible in the TUI command catalog.
Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
* fix(cli): address review feedback on /update command
- Replace raw input() with _prompt_text_input_modal in _handle_update_command
to avoid EOF/hang/keystroke-leak races with prompt_toolkit's stdin ownership
- Fix confirmation logic: only proceed on recognized affirmative aliases
(y/yes/1/ok); cancel on everything else including empty string, typos,
and unrecognized input — matches all other [Y/n] prompts in the codebase
- Route relaunch through main-thread shutdown path: set _pending_relaunch
and return False from process_command so process_loop triggers app.exit();
run() then calls relaunch() after prompt_toolkit has restored terminal modes
and after cleanup — safe on both POSIX (execvp) and Windows (subprocess+exit)
- Fix misleading docstring in test_update_command.py: the Vitest only covers
the TypeScript slash handler that emits code 42, not the Python wrapper
branch that acts on it
- Rewrite tests to use SimpleNamespace pattern (like test_destructive_slash_confirm)
so _prompt_text_input_modal can be stubbed directly
- Add Python test for _launch_tui exit-code-42 → relaunch branch in main.py

resolve_minimax_oauth_runtime_credentials called _refresh_minimax_oauth_state
without a try/except, so a terminal failure (invalid_grant,
refresh_token_reused, invalid_refresh_token) raised AuthError but left
the dead refresh_token in auth.json. Every subsequent API call retried
the same token via a network round-trip, failing identically each time.
Fix: wrap the refresh call and, when exc.relogin_required is True and a
refresh_token is present, clear the dead OAuth fields (access_token,
refresh_token, expires_*) and write a last_auth_error quarantine marker
to auth.json before re-raising. The next call sees no access_token and
fails fast with 'not_logged_in' — no network retry — and the user is
prompted to re-authenticate.
Mirrors the existing quarantine pattern for Nous (_quarantine_nous_oauth_state),
xAI-OAuth (#28116), and Codex-OAuth (#28118). Persist failure is
best-effort (logged at DEBUG, error still re-raised).
Salvaged from #28003 by @EloquentBrush0x — contributor's branch was
severely stale (would have reverted ~5000 LOC across azure/kanban/i18n
subsystems); fix re-applied surgically with their pattern preserved and
added two regression tests (terminal-quarantines + transient-does-not-quarantine).
When a Codex OAuth refresh token is permanently invalidated (HTTP 400/401/403,
token revoked or reused), _mark_exhausted was called but auth.json was left with
the dead credentials. On the next session, _seed_from_singletons re-read
auth.json and re-seeded the pool with the same revoked token, triggering the
same terminal failure in a loop.
Add _is_terminal_codex_oauth_refresh_error to auth.py and a matching quarantine
block in _refresh_entry: when a terminal error is detected and auth.json holds
no newer tokens, clear access_token/refresh_token from auth.json and remove all
device_code-sourced pool entries from memory. Mirrors the Nous quarantine added
in c90556262 and the xAI quarantine in #28116.
Also add a pre-refresh sync from auth.json before calling refresh_codex_oauth_pure,
matching the xAI and Nous patterns, to avoid refresh_token_reused races when
multiple Hermes processes share the same auth.json singleton.
Salvaged from #27911 by @EloquentBrush0x — contributor's branch was severely
stale (would have reverted ~5000 LOC across azure/kanban/i18n subsystems);
fix re-applied surgically on current main with their predicate and tests preserved.
