Maintainer review on PR #1895 flagged that mcp_server.py duplicated the
visibility model from api/routes.py:75. Move the canonical helper into
api/profiles.py (next to _is_root_profile, on which it depends) so both
api/routes.py and mcp_server.py import the same function instead of
carrying parallel definitions that could drift as the model evolves.
- api/profiles.py: + _profiles_match (verbatim from former routes.py:75-97)
- api/routes.py: replace local definition with re-export to keep all
existing _profiles_match(...) call sites resolving
without per-call-site refactors
- mcp_server.py: drop local copy, import _profiles_match alongside the
existing api.profiles imports (line 59)
- tests: + test_profiles_match_single_source_of_truth asserts
identity (mcp.module._profiles_match is api.profiles._profiles_match
is api.routes._profiles_match) so any re-introduction of
a local copy trips the test
+ test_profiles_match_input_matrix parametrize across
the (None|''|'default'|'foo') x (None|''|'default'|'foo'|'bar')
visibility matrix per maintainer suggestion
Behaviour unchanged. Zero call-site changes anywhere in api/routes.py.

SHOULD-FIX #1 (renamed-root client cross-alias): drop strict-equality client
filter at static/sessions.js:1853. Server-side _profiles_match cross-aliases
'default'-tagged rows to a renamed root 'kinni'; the strict-equality client
would reject them, dropping every legacy session for renamed-root users. The
server is now solely authoritative for profile scoping.
SHOULD-FIX #2 (messaging-source dedupe ordering): _keep_latest_messaging_session_per_source
now runs AFTER the profile filter at api/routes.py:2078. Before, it ran on
the merged-cross-profile list with profile-blind keys, discarding the older
profile's row across profiles before the scope filter — leaving zero rows for
any messaging identity the active profile shared with another profile.
NIT #3: _projects_migrated flag now set only AFTER successful save_projects.
NIT #4: cleaned dead test code in test_is_root_profile_invalidation_drops_stale.
NIT #5: _create_profile_fallback's clone_from=='default' literal now routes
through _is_root_profile() for parity with the 5 other callsites.
+2 regression tests pin the SHOULD-FIX shapes:
- test_keep_latest_messaging_runs_after_profile_filter (source-string ordering)
- test_static_sessions_js_trusts_server_profile_scoping (no client re-filter)
4173 -> 4175 tests pass. 0 regressions.
Closes#1611 — /api/sessions filters by active profile by default; ?all_profiles=1
opt-in for aggregate views; new _profiles_match() helper honours renamed-root
cross-aliasing; static/sessions.js drops the s.is_cli_session bypass; toggle-on
re-fetches with all_profiles=1 instead of slicing client-cached rows.
Closes#1612 — new _is_root_profile() central helper consults list_profiles_api()
for is_default=True matches alongside the legacy 'default' alias. Replaces five
literal-default callsites in api/profiles.py. Memoized with explicit invalidation
hooks at create + delete. Sticky active_profile file write now stores '' for
renamed root, consistent with the legacy empty==root contract.
Closes#1614 — projects carry a profile field stamped at create-time;
/api/projects filters by active profile; /api/projects/{create,rename,delete}
and /api/session/move reject ops on cross-profile projects with 404; new
_PROJECTS_MIGRATION migration in load_projects() back-tags untagged projects
from any session that uses them, fall back to 'default'; ensure_cron_project
keys lookup by (name, profile) so each profile gets its own Cron Jobs project.
31 regression tests (9+11+11) pin the renamed-root resolution, server-side
profile scoping shape, helper invariants, cross-alias matching, migration
behavior, and active-profile guards on every project mutation endpoint.
4148 tests pass.

Three small follow-ups from the review:
1. Remove the over-broad except Exception around get_active_hermes_home()
in _handle_cron_run. The function is in-memory dict reads + one
Path.is_dir() stat — if it raises from inside a request handler,
api.profiles is in a state we shouldn't be making cron decisions in.
A silent fallback to _profile_home=None re-introduces the exact
bug #1573 fixes (worker thread runs unpinned against process-global
HERMES_HOME). Better to 500 the request than risk silent cross-
profile state corruption.
2. Add a thread-safety note on os.environ mutation in api/profiles.py
explaining why _cron_env_lock is sufficient — CPython env-var
assignment is GIL-protected at the bytecode level but the multi-step
read-modify-write pattern (snapshot prev → assign new → restore on
exit) is not atomic without explicit serialization. The lock makes
the entire context-manager body run-to-completion serially, including
any subprocess.Popen() calls inside run_job() that inherit the env.
3. New regression test (test_cron_run_does_not_silently_swallow_profile_resolution_errors)
pinning the no-silent-fallback contract via source-level assertion.
Catches future re-introduction of the over-broad except clause.

Wrap all /api/crons* endpoints in cron_profile_context so the TLS-active
profile's jobs.json is read/written, not the process-default one.
Before: cron.jobs._get_jobs_file() reads HERMES_HOME from os.environ
(process-global) at call time, bypassing WebUI's per-request thread-local
profile. Result: the Scheduled jobs panel always showed the default
profile's jobs regardless of which profile the user selected via cookie,
and CRUD operations silently wrote to the wrong jobs.json.
Fix:
- api/profiles.py: new cron_profile_context (HTTP/TLS) and
cron_profile_context_for_home (worker threads) context managers. Both
hold a module-level lock, swap os.environ['HERMES_HOME'], and re-patch
cron.jobs module-level constants (HERMES_DIR/CRON_DIR/JOBS_FILE/
OUTPUT_DIR are import-time snapshots that don't participate in the
module's lazy __getattr__ path).
- api/routes.py: wrap all 12 cron endpoints (GET + POST). For
/api/crons/run, capture the TLS-active home at dispatch time and
pass it into the background thread so cron output lands in the right
profile directory.
Tests: 3 new regression tests in test_scheduled_jobs_profile_isolation.py
cover TLS-based pinning, explicit-home pinning, and serialization of
concurrent contexts. Full cron + profile test suite (24 tests) passes.

Opus pass-2 review of v0.50.251 caught a critical regression in PR
#1375:
The cancel-partial message stored captured tool calls under the
'tool_calls' key. That key is whitelisted by _API_SAFE_MSG_KEYS so
_sanitize_messages_for_api forwarded the entries to the next-turn
LLM call. But the captured entries use the WebUI internal shape
({name, args, done, duration, is_error}) — they don't have the
OpenAI/Anthropic id + function: {name, arguments} envelope. Strict
providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Z.AI/GLM) would 400 on the malformed
entries. Net effect: the very cancel-then-continue scenario PR
#1375 aimed to improve becomes a hard fail.
Fix:
- Rename the persisted key to '_partial_tool_calls' (underscore-
prefixed private key NOT in _API_SAFE_MSG_KEYS, so sanitize
correctly strips it).
- Update static/messages.js hasMessageToolMetadata check to also
recognize _partial_tool_calls for UI rendering.
- Update test_issue1361_cancel_data_loss.py assertion to check
_partial_tool_calls (and tool_calls as legacy fallback).
Plus 2 NIT fixes from the same Opus review:
NIT 1 (api/profiles.py:153): re.match → re.fullmatch for consistency
with other _PROFILE_ID_RE callers in the codebase. The trailing-
newline footgun ($ matches before final \n in re.match) is now
closed. Without #1373's is_dir() guard, a name like 'valid\n' would
have created a directory named 'valid\n' on Linux. Doesn't escape
<HERMES_HOME>/profiles/ via Path joining, but unintended.
NIT 2 (test_issue798.py): R19j coverage gaps — added trailing-
newline tests, length-boundary tests (64-char valid, 65-char
rejected), single-char minimum, and non-ASCII / Unicode-trick tests.
New regression test (tests/test_pr1375_partial_tool_calls_sanitize.py):
- test_partial_tool_calls_field_not_forwarded_to_llm: pins that
sanitize-for-API strips _partial_tool_calls + reasoning + does
NOT have tool_calls on a partial message
- test_legitimate_tool_calls_are_preserved_for_completed_turns:
pins that real OpenAI-shape tool_calls on completed turns survive
sanitize unchanged
Tests: 3486 passing (3484 → 3486, +2 sanitize tests).
When a user switched profiles and created a new session, the session
was saved to the default profile directory instead of the active
profile directory — because get_hermes_home_for_profile() silently
fell back to _DEFAULT_HERMES_HOME when the profile directory didn't
exist yet on disk.
Root cause: api/profiles.py:156 had `if profile_dir.is_dir(): return
profile_dir; return _DEFAULT_HERMES_HOME`. New profiles (no session
yet, so no dir) routed every session back to default.
Fix: remove the is_dir() guard, return the profile path
unconditionally. The profile directory is created on first use by
the agent/session layer.
5 regression tests in tests/test_issue1195_session_profile_routing.py:
existing-profile, non-existent-profile (the core fix), None, empty-
string, 'default' all return the expected path.

Fixes the multi-client profile isolation bug (#798).
- get_hermes_home_for_profile(): pure path resolver, validates name against
_PROFILE_ID_RE (rejects path traversal), never mutates os.environ or globals
- new_session() accepts explicit profile= param from POST body (S.activeProfile),
short-circuits the process-level _active_profile global
- streaming handler resolves HERMES_HOME from s.profile instead of the global
- sessions.js sends profile: S.activeProfile in every new-session POST

* fix(profiles): block path traversal in profile switch and delete flows (#399)
Master was vulnerable: switch_profile and delete_profile_api joined user-supplied profile
names directly into filesystem paths with no validation. An attacker could send
'../../etc/passwd' as a profile name to traverse outside the profiles directory.
- api/profiles.py: add _resolve_named_profile_home(name) — validates name with
^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9_-]{0,63}$ regex then enforces path containment via
candidate.resolve().relative_to(profiles_root); use in switch_profile()
- api/profiles.py: add _validate_profile_name() call to delete_profile_api() entry
- api/routes.py: add _validate_profile_name() call at HTTP handler level for
both /api/profile/switch and /api/profile/delete (fail-fast at API boundary)
- tests/test_profile_path_security.py: 3 tests — traversal rejected, valid name passes

* feat: add desktop microphone transcription fallback (#396)
Mic button now works in browsers that support getUserMedia/MediaRecorder but
lack SpeechRecognition (e.g. Firefox desktop, some Chromium builds).
- static/boot.js: detect _canRecordAudio (navigator.mediaDevices + getUserMedia + MediaRecorder);
keep mic button enabled when either SpeechRecognition or MediaRecorder is available;
MediaRecorder fallback records audio, sends blob to /api/transcribe, inserts transcript
into the composer; _stopMic() handles all three states (recognition, mediaRecorder, neither)
- api/upload.py: add transcribe_audio() helper — saves uploaded blob to temp file, calls
transcription_tools.transcribe_audio(), always cleans up temp file
- api/routes.py: add /api/transcribe POST handler — CSRF protected, auth-gated, 20MB limit,
returns {text:...} or {error:...}
- api/helpers.py: change Permissions-Policy microphone=() to microphone=(self) (required to
allow getUserMedia in the same origin)
- tests/test_voice_transcribe_endpoint.py: 87 new lines — 3 tests with mocked transcription
- tests/test_sprint19.py: +1 regression guard (microphone=(self) in Permissions-Policy)

* fix: isolate profile .env secrets on switch
* fix: move direct os.environ set after _reload_dotenv to survive profile isolation
The profile env isolation in _reload_dotenv now clears previously tracked
env keys before re-reading .env. When apply_onboarding_setup set
os.environ BEFORE _reload_dotenv, the key was immediately cleared.
Move the belt-and-braces os.environ set to AFTER _reload_dotenv so
the API key survives regardless of profile tracking state.

BUG-1 (medium): _validate_profile_name() used re.match() with a $ anchor.
re.match() with $ is truthy for 'name\n' because match() allows trailing
content after the $ in multiline mode. Changed to re.fullmatch() which
requires the entire string to match — trailing newlines now correctly rejected.
BUG-2 (medium/defense-in-depth): create_profile_api() validated 'name' via
_validate_profile_name() but passed clone_from directly to hermes_cli and
_create_profile_fallback() without validation. Added clone_from validation
inside create_profile_api() (skipping 'default' which is a valid clone source).
routes.py already validates it at the HTTP layer; this adds API-layer defense.
BUG-3 (low): When hermes_cli is not importable (the exact Docker case this PR
targets), list_profiles_api() also returns only the stub default dict and
can't find the newly created profile by name. The fallback return was a
2-key dict {name, path} — incomplete vs the 9-key schema everywhere else.
Expanded to the full profile dict with all fields so API clients get
consistent data regardless of hermes_cli availability.
OBS-4 (low/TOCTOU): _create_profile_fallback() checked profile_dir.exists()
then called mkdir(exist_ok=True). If a concurrent request created the dir
between those two calls, mkdir silently succeeded — defeating the
FileExistsError guard. Changed to mkdir(exist_ok=False) so the OS raises
FileExistsError atomically if the dir appears in the race window.
Tests: 423 passed, 0 failed.
When hermes-agent is not discoverable (common in Docker), create_profile_api()
raised a hard RuntimeError while list and delete already had manual fallbacks.
Changes:
- Add _create_profile_fallback() that bootstraps profile directory structure
directly (matching upstream hermes_cli.profiles: 8 subdirs + config clone)
- Extract _validate_profile_name() so validation works without hermes_cli
- Add constants _PROFILE_ID_RE, _PROFILE_DIRS, _CLONE_CONFIG_FILES matching
upstream hermes-agent
- Remove :ro from docker-compose.yml hermes home mount so profiles dir is
writable inside the container
Closes#44
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Root cause: _DEFAULT_HERMES_HOME was evaluated at module import time from
os.getenv('HERMES_HOME'). HERMES_HOME is a MUTABLE env var -- init_profile_state()
at server startup calls _set_hermes_home() which writes to os.environ['HERMES_HOME'].
If the sticky active_profile file pointed to e.g. 'webui', HERMES_HOME was set to
~/.hermes/profiles/webui BEFORE api/profiles.py imported. So _DEFAULT_HERMES_HOME
resolved to ~/.hermes/profiles/webui. Then switch_profile('webui') computed:
home = ~/.hermes/profiles/webui / 'profiles' / 'webui'
= ~/.hermes/profiles/webui/profiles/webui -- doesn't exist -> 404 ValueError
Fix: replace the one-liner assignment with _resolve_base_hermes_home() which:
1. Checks HERMES_BASE_HOME env var (explicit override)
2. Checks HERMES_HOME -- but if it looks like a profiles/ subdir (parent.name ==
'profiles'), walks up two levels to the actual base
3. Falls back to Path.home() / '.hermes'
This means the server can start with HERMES_HOME pointing to any profile and
_DEFAULT_HERMES_HOME will still correctly point to ~/.hermes.
Also fix: api() helper in workspace.js was throwing new Error(await res.text())
which surfaced raw JSON to the UI: 'Switch failed: {"error":"Profile X does not exist."}'
Now parses the JSON and extracts j.error so the toast shows clean human-readable text.
Regression tests added in test_sprint23.py:
- test_profile_switch_base_home_not_subdir: static analysis verifying the resolver
- test_api_helper_returns_clean_error_message: verifies api() parses JSON errors
- test_profile_switch_resolve_base_home_logic: verifies the profiles/ subdir detection
Tests: 426 passed, 0 failed.
BUG-1 (critical): api/profiles.py _DEFAULT_HERMES_HOME used Path.home()/.hermes
hardcoded, ignoring the HERMES_HOME env var. conftest.py sets HERMES_HOME to a
test-isolated state dir -- but profiles.py bypassed it and read/wrote real ~/.hermes
during every test run (active_profile file, .env loading). Fixed by reading
os.getenv('HERMES_HOME', ...) at module load time.
BUG-7 (medium): api/workspace.py load_workspaces() fell back to the global
workspaces.json for ALL profiles when their profile-local file didn't exist yet.
New named profiles silently inherited the default profile's workspace list instead
of starting clean. Fixed: the global file fallback now only applies to the default
profile (migration path); named profiles start with a fresh default entry.
BUG-4 (high): test_sessions_list_includes_profile had a vacuous 'if matching:'
guard -- if the session wasn't found the assert was silently skipped and the test
passed. Fixed with hard assert. Also changed to use /api/session?session_id=
directly instead of scanning /api/sessions (which filters out empty Untitled
sessions with 0 messages, causing the test to always see an empty match list).
BUG-5 / test ordering regression: test_profile_switch_returns_default_model_and_workspace
failed with 409 because test_chat_stream_opens_successfully (runs earlier in the
suite) starts a real LLM stream that stays alive in STREAMS. Added a wait loop
(up to 30s) polling /health active_streams before attempting the profile switch.
BUG-8 (low): Removed dead import _profile_default_workspace in switch_profile()
-- was imported but never used (get_last_workspace() already delegates to it).
Also: test_profile_active_endpoint hardcoded assert data['name'] == 'default'
which fails if a prior run left a non-default active_profile on disk. Changed
to assert name is a non-empty string (the endpoint contract), not a specific value.
Tests: 423 passed, 0 failed.
Fix five coherence bugs in profile switching:
1. Model picker ignored profile default (localStorage stale key)
2. Workspace list was global (not profile-scoped)
3. DEFAULT_WORKSPACE was a boot-time singleton
4. Session list showed all profiles (no filtering)
5. switchToProfile() didn't refresh workspaces or sessions
Backend: workspace storage is now profile-local for named profiles,
switch_profile() returns default_model and default_workspace.
Frontend: switchToProfile() clears stale model pref, refreshes
workspace list and session list, sessions.js filters by active profile
with 'Show N from other profiles' toggle.
8 new tests. 400 pass / 23 fail (identical to baseline).

Add full profile management to the web UI, matching the hermes-agent CLI
profile system. Profiles are isolated HERMES_HOME instances with their own
config, skills, memory, cron, and API keys.
Backend: new api/profiles.py wrapping hermes_cli.profiles, dynamic config
reloading, 5 new API endpoints, profile-aware path resolution, HERMES_HOME
env save/restore in streaming, module-level cache patching for skills_tool
and cron/jobs.
Frontend: profile chip in topbar with dropdown, Profiles sidebar panel with
CRUD UI, boot-time profile fetch, cascade refresh on switch.
