nesquena APPROVED 2026-05-22. Cherry-picked onto post-v0.51.127
master via 3-way apply. Resolved api/routes.py conflict: master had
the inline correctness fix from the deep-review iteration; PR
refactors it into _metadata_only_message_summary() helper. Took the
helper AND added profile= threading (post-#2827 master adds
profile-aware state.db reads). Kept master's pre-existing
test_api_session_reload_drops_stale_cached_user_tail_after_saved_assistant
alongside the PR's new test_metadata_fast_path_matches_reconciliation_for_restamped_replays.

MUST-FIX:
- tests/test_2735_open_in_vscode.py: bump expected open_in_vscode locale
counter from 10 to 11 (Turkish locale added in #2772). The bump fell
out of an in-rebase test edit but never got committed; tagging without
this would have shipped a failing test in the release commit.
SHOULD-FIX inline:
- api/updates.py: case-D drift in _select_apply_compare_ref. The original
#2855 fix used latest_tag in the past-tag predicate; the check side
uses current_tag (HEAD's nearest reachable tag) plus a 'behind == 0'
gate. They drift when HEAD is on an OLDER release tag with commits on
top AND a NEWER tag exists ('case D'): check correctly suggests
advancing to the newer tag, but apply fell through to origin/<branch>.
Mirror the check-side predicate exactly. Adds regression test
test_select_apply_compare_ref_case_d_older_tag_with_commits_and_newer_tag_exists.
- static/messages.js: post-await race guard in _restoreSettledSession.
stream_end without preceding 'done' enters the settlement path, awaits
/api/session, then sets _streamFinalized=true. If a late 'done' event
arrives during that await, it sees _streamFinalized still false and
double-runs the finalize. The guard returns early when done won the
race, avoiding double renderMessages() + double notification.
- server.py: CORS preflight Access-Control-Allow-Methods now includes PUT.
#2776 wired PUT into the router for /api/mcp/servers/{name} but didn't
update the OPTIONS response. Same-origin only in practice, but cosmetic
completeness for CORS-aware deployments.
Opus advisor verdict: all 5 risk areas reviewed, 1 MUST-FIX + 3 SHOULD-FIX
all addressed inline. Net: +69/-9, no new architecture, no behavior risk.
Replace \\u2026 with \u2026 (and fix \\u2192/\\u2713) in the tr block
so ellipsis renders as U+2026 instead of literal backslash-u text.
Add a regression test guarding against double-escaped unicode sequences.

Add a complete Turkish locale to the WebUI and login page so users can
select Türkçe in Settings, with speech recognition via tr-TR.
Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
Add `PATCH /api/mcp/servers/{name}` endpoint that accepts `{"enabled": bool}`,
updates `mcp_servers.<name>.enabled` in config.yaml, and calls `reload_config()`.
Mirrors the existing DELETE pattern.
Also wire the previously-defined-but-unrouted `_handle_mcp_server_delete` into
`handle_delete`, and `_handle_mcp_server_update` into a new `handle_put` +
`do_PUT` in server.py — fixing a pre-existing bug where those handlers existed
but were never reachable over HTTP.
UI: add a toggle button in each MCP server row in the system settings panel
(panels.js). Clicking it calls PATCH and reloads the list. Toggle button is
styled with `.mcp-toggle-enabled` / `.mcp-toggle-disabled` CSS classes. The
`toggle_supported` flag in the list response is now `True`.
i18n: add 5 new keys (`mcp_enable_server`, `mcp_disable_server`,
`mcp_enabled_toast`, `mcp_disabled_toast`, `mcp_toggle_failed`) to all 9
non-English locales (English values as placeholder translations).
Tests: add `TestMcpToggle` class with 7 tests covering disable, enable,
404-not-found, empty name, missing field, response payload, and URL-encoded name.
Update `test_empty_config` and visibility panel assertions to reflect
`toggle_supported: True` and the new toggle button in panels.js.

Fixes#2846. After PR #2758 (the #2653 fix) the update check correctly
falls through to the branch comparison when HEAD has moved past the
latest `v*` tag — so the banner reports the real commit count against
`origin/<branch>`. But `_select_apply_compare_ref` was never updated to
mirror that decision: as long as any `v*` tag exists, it returns
`tags[0]`, even when HEAD is far past it.
Result for everyone running hermes-agent past `v2026.5.16` (i.e. anyone
on agent master between tagged releases):
1. Banner: `Agent (origin/main): 254 updates available` ← correct
2. User clicks Update Now
3. `_select_apply_compare_ref` picks `v2026.5.16` because tags exist
4. `git pull --ff-only origin v2026.5.16` — no-op (HEAD is already past it)
5. `_schedule_restart()` fires anyway, server bounces
6. Next check still reports 254 behind — banner reappears unchanged
`apply_force_update` had the same bug, except worse: `git reset --hard
v2026.5.16` would have actively rewound the user's checkout 254 commits.
The root cause is the same bug class as #2653 — two parallel paths
(`_check_repo_release` and `_select_apply_compare_ref`) that should make
the same decision but didn't. Pre-fix, the "is HEAD past the latest
tag?" predicate lived inline inside `_check_repo_release` only.
Fix
---
Extract `_head_is_past_latest_tag(path, current_tag)` and have both
paths consult it. When HEAD is past the latest tag:
- check path: release check returns None → branch check runs (#2653,
unchanged behaviour, just refactored)
- apply path: falls through to upstream / `origin/<branch>`, never the
stale tag (#2846, new behaviour)
Tests
-----
- `test_select_apply_compare_ref_uses_tag_when_head_is_on_tag` —
unchanged behaviour pinned: HEAD exactly on tag → advance to tag.
- `test_select_apply_compare_ref_falls_through_when_head_is_past_tag` —
the #2846 repro: HEAD = v2026.5.16 + 608 commits → advance to
`origin/main`, not the tag.
- `test_select_apply_compare_ref_no_tags_uses_upstream` — unchanged.
- `test_select_apply_compare_ref_no_tags_no_upstream_uses_default_branch`
— unchanged.
- `test_check_and_apply_paths_agree_when_head_is_past_tag` — symmetry
test, ensures the two paths can't drift apart again.
All 21 tests in `tests/test_updates.py` pass locally (16 existing + 5
new).
Refs #2846, #2653.
Fixes#2853. The `_terminal_shell_preexec_fn` added in `71d8a8fb` called
`prctl(PR_SET_PDEATHSIG, SIGTERM)` so orphaned PTY shells would die when
the WebUI process crashed. But that signal is **per-thread**, not
per-process, and WebUI runs `ThreadingHTTPServer`: every HTTP request is
handled in its own short-lived worker thread.
Flow that broke every Linux user:
1. User clicks the terminal toggle → frontend hits `POST /api/terminal/start`.
2. ThreadingHTTPServer spins up a worker thread to handle that one request.
3. The worker thread calls `subprocess.Popen(..., preexec_fn=...)`.
4. The shell calls `prctl(PR_SET_PDEATHSIG, SIGTERM)` in its preexec_fn.
Its registered "parent" is now the WebUI worker thread that called Popen.
5. The handler returns its JSON response and the worker thread exits.
6. The kernel sees the pdeathsig-parent thread has died and sends SIGTERM
to the PTY shell. The shell dies within ~10 ms of being created.
7. The reader loop sees EIO on the master FD, emits `terminal_closed`, and
the frontend writes `[terminal closed]`.
macOS users were unaffected because `libc.prctl` doesn't exist there —
`ctypes.CDLL(None)` returns a libc handle, `libc.prctl` raises
`AttributeError`, the bare-`except` swallows it, and the shell starts
with no pdeathsig configured.
Empirical verification on this Linux host (real PTY + `subprocess.Popen`
inside a `threading.Thread` that joins immediately):
with preexec_fn → proc.poll() == -15 (SIGTERM), master FD returns EIO
without preexec_fn → proc.poll() == None (alive), master FD returns "HELLO\\r\\n"
Same shell, same PTY, same threading topology as WebUI.
Fix
---
Drop the `preexec_fn` entirely. The orphan-shell-on-crash case the original
PR was navigating is rare for self-hosted single-user installs, and the
existing `atexit.register(close_all_terminals)` + explicit `close_terminal`
paths cover graceful shutdown. A future fix (option B in the issue) can
re-introduce pdeathsig pinned to a long-lived supervisor thread, but that
is a follow-up — this PR is the smallest unbricks-Linux-today change.
Tests
-----
- Invert `test_terminal_shell_uses_parent_death_signal_preexec` →
`test_terminal_shell_does_not_use_pdeathsig_preexec`: asserts
`preexec_fn` is NOT in the Popen kwargs.
- Add `test_pty_shell_survives_when_spawning_thread_exits`: spawns a
real PTY shell via `start_terminal` from a worker thread, waits for
the worker to join, asserts the shell is still alive after a half-second
grace window. This is the contract the original tests never exercised.
- Update `test_terminal_module_registers_graceful_shutdown_reaper` to
refuse re-introduction of the preexec_fn or the `libc.prctl(1, SIGTERM)`
call (treats either as a regression).
All 27 terminal-related tests pass locally.

Three small fixes from Copilot's review:
1. static/style.css:1354 - removed spaces inside `clamp(...)` args to
match the file's existing compact style (no spaces after commas in
neighboring declarations like `transition:border-color .2s,box-shadow .2s`).
2. CHANGELOG.md - wrapped the long single-line entry across multiple lines
with standard Markdown continuation indentation for cleaner diffs.
3. CHANGELOG.md - normalized `~1300 px` to `~1300px` for unit-formatting
consistency.
No behavior change. Same one-line CSS rule, just tightened formatting.

`.composer-box` had a hardcoded `max-width: 780px` since the early
v0.50.x layout pass. On wide displays (1440p+, 2880px ultrawides)
this leaves significant unused horizontal space AND squeezes the
composer-footer chips (workspace, model, reasoning, context %)
against each other inside the 780px box.
When the context-percentage ring appears (active token usage), the
workspace chip truncates to "Fou..." instead of showing the full
workspace name. Model + reasoning chips also lose room. The chip
strip horizontally-scrolls inside .composer-left, so the rightmost
chips effectively hide behind context %.
The constraint isn't "Reading flow looks better at 780px" — the
textarea is min-height:64px, max-height:200px and wraps naturally,
so users on wide displays get the SAME readable text wrap regardless
of box width. Only the footer chips suffer.
Fix: clamp(780px, 60vw, 1100px). Preserves the 780px floor (no
regression on viewports < 780px since clamp's first arg is the
minimum) while letting wider viewports use up to 1100px (60% of
viewport width, capped). 1100px gives ~40% more horizontal room for
the footer chips without filling the entire screen at extreme widths.
Per-viewport behavior:
<= 780 px → 780 px (hard floor) — zero change vs current
1280 px → 60vw = 768 → floored to 780 — zero change
1440 px → 60vw = 864 — +84 px room
1920 px → 60vw = 1152 → capped at 1100 — +320 px room
2880 px → 60vw = 1728 → capped at 1100 — +320 px room
One line in static/style.css. CHANGELOG entry. No JS. No new deps.

The path-discovery step succeeds on the first run, but the cleanup
step exits non-zero because `taskkill /PID 5560 /T /F` returns 128
("process not found") when server.py has already exited on the mock
hermes_cli stub. That's the expected steady state for this mock-only
workflow, not a failure.
Two-line fix: reset `$global:LASTEXITCODE = 0` after the taskkill
call, and explicit `exit 0` at the end of the step so any other
external-command exit codes don't bubble up. The try/catch wrapper
didn't help because taskkill writes its diagnostic to stderr without
raising a PowerShell exception — `catch` never fired.
Run 26352805510 on this branch shows the failure shape: "OK: start.ps1
path discovery - all guards passed." in the verify step, then
"ERROR: The process '5560' not found." in the cleanup step. Path
discovery is what this workflow exists to validate; cleanup just has
to not fail the job.
Per @nesquena-hermes review on #2811: hermes-agent isn't published to
PyPI, so `pip install hermes-agent` finds nothing and start.ps1's
hermes_cli guard correctly bails out — leaving the previous workflow
unable to self-validate against release/stage-batch6.
This rework adopts option 1 from the review: drop the pip install,
stub a hermes_cli/ directory with a minimal __init__.py next to the
sibling hermes-agent/ folder, then run start.ps1 for 8 seconds and
assert that none of its own Write-Error guards (no Python, no agent
dir, bad port, missing hermes_cli, missing server.py) appeared in
stderr. /health is no longer probed — the server cannot boot on a
stub, and full-boot regressions stay covered by the Linux jobs and
docker-smoke.yml.
Scope intentionally narrower than the original: this workflow
validates start.ps1's PowerShell syntax + path discovery only. The
exact bug class PR #2805 caught (WOW64 ProgramFiles redirect) would
now light up red here pre-merge, which is the reason this gate exists.
Paths filter trimmed to `start.ps1` + the workflow itself; the broader
list (requirements.txt / bootstrap.py / server.py) was inherited from
the original full-boot scoping and isn't relevant for a path-discovery-
only run.
Verification: workflow runs on this PR via its own pull_request trigger.
The first CI run on this branch IS the verification.
CHANGELOG updated under [Unreleased] with a single bullet sized to the
surrounding density.

Closes#2740. CSS-only, no JS changes. Default-width layout unchanged,
only affects narrow-viewport overflow regime via composer-left's existing
overflow-x:auto.
After the user responds to a clarify prompt, insert a synthetic user
message into the conversation showing their choice. This makes the
clarify interaction visible in the chat history, which was previously
only shown in the transient clarify dialog card.
The message is marked with _clarify_response: true so downstream
consumers can distinguish it from regular user messages if needed.
When tool approval or clarification cards appear during streaming,
they unconditionally call focus() on their input elements via setTimeout,
stealing focus from the composer (#msg) if the user is actively typing.
This silently drops keystrokes mid-type.
Add a guard: only move focus to the card if the composer textarea does
not already have focus. The document.activeElement check matches the
pattern already used upstream in other focus-sensitive components.
