- build tui.nix, copy to $out/ui-tui/ (same layout as dev)
- set HERMES_TUI_DIR, HERMES_PYTHON in wrapper
- add passthru.devShellHook with stamp-checked venv setup
- expose tui as separate package output
- Switch tsconfig to nodenext module resolution for Node 22 (used by
installer script)
- Add shebang to entry.tsx, preserved into index.js
- Add HERMES_ROOT env var fallback for repo root resolution
* fix(nix): switch nixpkgs input from nixos-24.11 to nixos-unstable
nixos-24.11 reached EOL on 2025-06-30. For a dev tool, tracking a
frozen release branch causes dependency versions to go stale.
nixos-unstable provides rolling updates and is the conventional
choice for development packages.
* docs(website): update nix flake example

* fix(ci): pin floating GitHub Actions tags and ascii-guard to explicit versions
Actions pinned to @main pull whatever is at that ref at execution time,
so a compromised upstream org could execute arbitrary code in CI.
- Pin DeterminateSystems/nix-installer-action to commit SHA (v22)
- Pin DeterminateSystems/magic-nix-cache-action to commit SHA (v13)
- Pin ascii-guard to 2.3.0 in docs-site-checks workflow
SHA comments include the version tag for human readability; Renovate or
Dependabot can keep these updated automatically.
* Add skill metadata extraction step in workflow
Add step to extract skill metadata for dashboard in CI workflow.

Every turn now logs WHY the agent loop ended to agent.log with a
structured INFO line capturing: exit reason, model, api_calls/max,
budget usage, tool turn count, last message role, response length,
and session ID.
When the last message is a tool result and the turn was NOT
interrupted, emits WARNING level (visible in errors.log) — this is
the 'just stops' scenario users report where a tool call completes
but no continuation or final response follows.
10 tracked exit reasons: text_response, interrupted_by_user,
interrupted_during_api_call, budget_exhausted, max_iterations_reached,
all_retries_exhausted_no_response, fallback_prior_turn_content,
empty_response_exhausted, error_near_max_iterations, unknown.
Documents both debugging commands with full option tables,
examples, and usage guidance. Adds both to the top-level
commands table and as detailed sections with subsections for
log files, filtering behavior, and log rotation.
Adds a new CLI command that outputs a compact, plain-text dump of the
user's Hermes setup — version, OS, model/provider, API key presence,
toolsets, gateway status, platforms, cron jobs, skills, and any
non-default config overrides.
Designed for support context: no ANSI colors, ready to paste into
Discord/GitHub/Telegram. Secrets shown as 'set/not set' by default;
--show-keys reveals redacted prefixes (first/last 4 chars).

The docs incorrectly referenced 'hermes pairing generate bluebubbles'
which doesn't exist. The existing reactive pairing flow already handles
this — when an unknown user messages the bot, it sends them a code
automatically, and the owner approves with 'hermes pairing approve'.
The old setup wizard (pre-March 2026) wrote LLM_MODEL to ~/.hermes/.env
across 12 provider flows. Commit 9302690e removed the writes but never
cleaned up existing .env files, leaving a dead variable that:
- Nothing in the codebase reads (zero os.getenv calls)
- The docs incorrectly claimed the gateway still used as fallback
- Caused user confusion when debugging model resolution issues
Changes:
- config.py: Bump _config_version 12 → 13, add migration to clear
LLM_MODEL and OPENAI_MODEL from .env (both dead since March 2026)
- environment-variables.md: Remove LLM_MODEL row, fix HERMES_MODEL
description to stop referencing it
- providers.md: Update deprecation notice from 'deprecated' to 'removed'
Parse x-ratelimit-* headers from inference API responses (Nous Portal,
OpenRouter, OpenAI-compatible) and display them in the /usage command.
- New agent/rate_limit_tracker.py: parse 12 rate limit headers (RPM/RPH/
TPM/TPH limits, remaining, reset timers), format as progress bars (CLI)
or compact one-liner (gateway)
- Hook into streaming path in run_agent.py: stream.response.headers is
available on the OpenAI SDK Stream object before chunks are consumed
- CLI /usage: appends rate limit section with progress bars + warnings
when any bucket exceeds 80%
- Gateway /usage: appends compact rate limit summary
- 24 unit tests covering parsing, formatting, edge cases
Headers captured per response:
x-ratelimit-{limit,remaining,reset}-{requests,tokens}{,-1h}
Example CLI display:
Nous Rate Limits (captured just now):
Requests/min [░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░] 0.1% 1/800 used (799 left, resets in 59s)
Tokens/hr [░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░] 0.0% 49/336.0M (336.0M left, resets in 52m)
Wrap is_dir() in _is_valid_subdir() and is_file() in
_load_hints_for_directory() with OSError handlers so that
inaccessible directories (e.g. /root from a non-root Daytona
host user) are silently skipped instead of crashing the agent.
The existing PermissionError PRs for prompt_builder.py (#6247,
#6321, #6355) do not cover subdirectory_hints.py, which was
identified as a separate crash path in the #6214 comments.
Ref: #6214
prune_sessions and delete_session only handled direct children when
satisfying the parent_session_id FK constraint. Multi-level chains
(A -> B -> C) caused IntegrityError because deleting B while C still
referenced it was blocked by the FK.
Fix: NULL out parent_session_id for any session whose parent is about
to be deleted. This orphans children instead of cascade-deleting them,
which also respects the prune retention window — newer child sessions
are no longer deleted just because an ancestor is old.
Reported by Aaryan2304 in PR #6463.
Updated the logic for determining the probed_url in the probe_api_models function to use the first tried URL instead of the last. This change ensures that the most relevant URL is returned when probing for models. Additionally, improved the output message in the _model_flow_custom function to provide clearer guidance based on the suggested_base_url.
The 24-hour default cooldown for 402-exhausted credentials was far too
aggressive — if a user tops up credits or the 402 was caused by an
oversized max_tokens request rather than true billing exhaustion, they
shouldn't have to wait a full day. Reduce to 1 hour (matching the
existing 429 TTL).
Inspired by PR #6493 (michalkomar).
When a model returns no content, no structured reasoning, and no tool
calls (common with open models), the agent now silently retries up to
3 times before falling through to (empty).
Silent retry (no synthetic messages) keeps the conversation history
clean, preserves prompt caching, and respects the no-synthetic-user-
injection invariant. Most empty responses from open models are
transient (provider hiccups, rate limits, sampling flukes) so a
simple retry is sufficient.
This fills the last gap in the empty-response recovery chain:
1. _last_content_with_tools fallback (prior tool turn had content)
2. Thinking-only prefill continuation (#5931 — structured reasoning)
3. Empty response silent retry (NEW — truly empty, no reasoning)
4. (empty) terminal (last resort after all retries exhausted)
Inline <think> blocks are excluded — the model chose to reason, it
just produced no visible text. That differs from truly empty.
Tests:
- Updated test_truly_empty to expect 4 API calls (1 + 3 retries)
- Added test_truly_empty_response_succeeds_on_nudge
The BlueBubbles adapter was merged but missing setup wizard support:
- Add _setup_bluebubbles() guided setup (server URL, password, allowlist,
home channel, webhook port)
- Add to _GATEWAY_PLATFORMS registry so it appears in 'hermes setup gateway'
- Add to any_messaging check and home channel missing warning
- Add to gateway status display in 'hermes setup'
- Add BLUEBUBBLES_SERVER_URL, BLUEBUBBLES_PASSWORD, BLUEBUBBLES_ALLOWED_USERS
to OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS with descriptions and categories
Previously the only way to configure BlueBubbles was manually editing .env.
Two issues resolved:
1. Add opencode.ai to _URL_TO_PROVIDER mapping so base_url routes through
models.dev lookup (which has mimo-v2-pro at 1M context) instead of
falling back to probing /models (404) and defaulting to 128K.
2. Fix _format_context_length to round cleanly: 1048576 → '1M' instead
of '1.048576M'. Applies same rounding logic to K values.
Add QEMU cross-compilation and multi-arch manifest support so Apple
Silicon (M1/M2/M3) and other ARM-based systems get native images.
- Add docker/setup-qemu-action for arm64 emulation on amd64 runners
- Smoke test stays amd64-only (load:true can't export multi-arch)
- Both push steps (main + release) now build linux/amd64,linux/arm64
- Bump timeout 30->60min for QEMU cross-compilation overhead
- Add permissions: contents: read (least-privilege hardening)

Tests for the new behavior paths:
- Large tool outputs no longer block compaction (motivating scenario)
- Hard minimum of 3 tail messages always protected
- 1.5x soft ceiling for oversized messages
- Small conversations still compress (min 8 messages)
- Token-budget prune path in _prune_old_tool_results
- Fallback to message-count when no token budget
PR #6240 changed tail protection from protect_last_n to min(3, ...)
which increased the minimum compressible message count and shifted
tail boundaries. Three tests broke:
- test_summary_role_avoids_consecutive_user_messages: 6→8 msgs
- test_double_collision_user_head_assistant_tail: 7→8 msgs
- test_no_collision_scenarios_still_work: 6→8 msgs
All tests now exceed the new min_for_compress threshold (6) and
maintain proper role alternation in both head and tail sections.
Tail protection was effectively message-count based despite having a
token budget, because protect_last_n=20 acted as a hard floor. A single
50K-token tool output would cause all 20 recent messages to be
preserved regardless of budget, leaving little room for summarization.
Changes:
- _find_tail_cut_by_tokens: min_tail reduced from protect_last_n (20)
to 3; token budget is now the primary criterion
- Soft ceiling at 1.5x budget to avoid cutting mid-oversized-message
- _prune_old_tool_results: accepts optional protect_tail_tokens so
pruning also respects the token budget instead of a fixed count
- compress() minimum message check relaxed from protect_first_n +
protect_last_n + 1 to protect_first_n + 3 + 1
- Tool group alignment (no splitting tool_call/result) preserved
