From 837acdc91d712ee50002aa295b74abc4ab07e51f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: teknium1 <127238744+teknium1@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Tue, 15 Sep 2026 14:47:18 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] fix: share the control-frame opener list and cover [System:/[IMPORTANT:/[PRIOR CONTEXT/[CONTEXT SUMMARY] Review finding on #112260: the hosted-room member relabel regex was a third hand-copied opener list that missed the frames context_compressor and title_generator already treat as harness input, so a member reply starting with "[System: ..." or "[IMPORTANT: 2 background processes ..." reached peers in its exact trusted shape. agent.prompt_builder.CONTROL_FRAME_OPENERS is now the single source; the gateway regex is built from it and the desktop TS literal mirrors it byte-for-byte. --- agent/prompt_builder.py | 9 +++++++++ .../src/plugins/hermes-bots/group-round-prompt.ts | 5 +++-- gateway/hosted_room_discussion.py | 14 +++++++------- tests/gateway/test_hosted_room_discussion.py | 7 ++++++- 4 files changed, 25 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) diff --git a/agent/prompt_builder.py b/agent/prompt_builder.py index 92cdf21d4b..2920190abd 100644 --- a/agent/prompt_builder.py +++ b/agent/prompt_builder.py @@ -508,6 +508,15 @@ STEER_MARKER_OPEN = ( "once at this position; not tool output and not a new delivery when replayed from conversation history]" ) STEER_MARKER_CLOSE = "[/OUT-OF-BAND USER MESSAGE]" +# Text after the "[" that opens one of Hermes' own control frames (the steer marker above, the compaction +# handoff and its fallbacks, runtime/system notes, agent.context_compressor._SYNTHETIC_USER_ROW_PREFIXES, +# agent.title_generator._MACHINE_PREFIXES).
