Use Perplexity for Nous-managed search, retaining Firecrawl for extract
and as a per-call search fallback. Explicit search overrides and direct
keys keep their own billing paths; fallback results are never cached.
When the managed route is selected but the Tool Gateway is unavailable
(unentitled account or no Nous token), search reports that selection
error instead of asking for a direct key the user never chose.
The managed search vendor is unannounced, so user-facing copy names the
capability rather than the vendor: status, portal and docs say "managed
web search", and the fallback annotation reads `managed_primary`. Direct-key
configuration docs are unchanged.
Routing, auth, payload, cache and entitlement regressions are covered
through real config loading and local HTTP.
The `enabled` key had four parsers. The MCP client (`_parse_boolish`) read
`enabled: 0` as on; the toolset resolver and editor (`_parse_enabled_flag`)
read it as off. The server list (`summarize_server`, `/api/mcp/servers`) read
any non-`False` value as on, so `enabled: "false"` showed on while the agent
skipped it. The catalog and `hermes mcp list` accepted only true/1/yes, so
`enabled: on` showed off while the server ran.
`tools/mcp_tool_common.py::mcp_server_enabled` is now the only reader, and
every surface calls it. `_parse_boolish` treats YAML numbers by truthiness
(0 off, other numbers on). Everything else keeps the client's semantics:
the off words are off, absent / null / junk stay on, with the existing
warning for junk.
The desktop MCP page mirrors the rule in `serverEnabled`
(`apps/desktop/src/lib/mcp-servers.ts`). One case table
(`mcp-enabled-cases.json`) drives the Python invariant test and the vitest
test, so the page and the runtime cannot drift apart again.
Branch semantics kept where main and PM disagree: update_cmd_deps.py,
constraints-termux.txt, the Electron update-api-check module and the
post-swap hand-off test stay deleted; the pending-fleet-restart catch-up
and the local_runtime tag/download ladder stay retired (PM owns engines).
Ported from main onto the branch's shape: profile_scoped_chore for the
auto-archive and plugin-update housekeeping chores, the local-runtime
cross-process boot lock and residency cap, the checkpoint tmp_pack sweep,
the cua daemon-liveness status probe, the remote-served Desktop update
flag (posix.sh / windows.ps1), sign-in for env-pinned remote gateways
(urlDisabled on RemoteSetupFields), the uvloop extra split (uvicorn
without [standard]), and the umask-scoping spawn test.
uv.lock regenerated with pm.build_env --lock-only; new utf-8 reads from
main switched to utf-8-sig (check-windows-footguns).
#116691 taught the runtime (`_get_platform_tools`) to read the
`'["browser", "terminal"]'` string an older `hermes config set` stored as
the user's real toolset selection, but the two other readers of the section
kept the old `isinstance(raw, list)` gate:
- `validate_platform_toolsets` (hermes doctor / startup warnings) reported
"invalid toolset value ... falling back to 'hermes-cli'" for a value the
runtime resolves to browser+terminal — a false warning.
- `plugins_cmd._toggle_plugin_toolset` skipped the string entry, so
`hermes plugins enable <p>` never reached that platform.
- `nous_subscription._toolset_enabled` treated it as an empty list.
Move the list-literal parse into one function,
`toolset_validation.parse_platform_toolsets_value`, and route all four
readers through it; the plugin toggle re-saves the entry as a real list so
the string never persists past the next write. `_coerce_platform_toolsets_value`
keeps its once-per-platform warning for values that do not parse.
Why one parser: three readers with three notions of "configured" is exactly
how #115866 went unnoticed. Follow-up to #116691 (independent review finding).
Conflicts resolved toward the PM model: main's lazy_deps/update_cmd_deps/npm
stamp machinery stays deleted (PM + scripts/build/node-deps.mjs own it), the
systemd ExecStop stop-mark rides the installation launcher, legacy
linux_only/macos_only/windows_only markers are rewritten to platforms(), and
finalize_update_receipt carries pending manual-serve obligations forward
again (lost when the ContextVar receipt rewrite crossed c0aa3ce354).
Test harness: the real-home I/O guard exempts /proc/<pid>/fd metadata reads
(deleted-WAL holder scans) and run_tests.sh drops ~/.hermes PATH entries so
shutil.which() cannot trip the tripwire.
A non-list value that does not parse as a list literal (a bare scalar such as
`bogus`, or a truncated `'["web", terminal'`) still falls back to the platform
default, but now logs one warning per platform naming the expected shape
(`a YAML list of toolset names, e.g. [terminal, file, web]`) and pointing at
`hermes tools`, instead of substituting the default silently.
Why: config-key fixes must fail closed and loud. The list-literal coercion
from #115874 makes the common `hermes config set` string readable; anything
else was previously a silent default, which is exactly how #115866 went
unnoticed (the user's saved toolsets were dropped on the next `tools enable`
with no signal). The warning routes through the existing
`_warned_invalid_platform_toolsets` once-per-platform set so a gateway
start does not repeat it per resolve.
Tests trimmed to two invariants in the contributor's file: `hermes tools
enable` (via `_apply_toolset_change`) keeps the entries a list-literal string
encodes and stores a native list; a malformed string falls back to the
platform default with the shape warning recorded.
Review nit from #115874: the parser is ast.literal_eval, which accepts any
Python list literal (single-quoted included), so "JSON-list" undersold the
accepted surface. Docstring-only change; no behavior change.
`hermes config set` stores a bare `[...]` argument as a plain string, so an
explicit selection parsed as str instead of list and _get_platform_tools
treated the platform as unconfigured — resolving to the platform default and,
on the next `hermes tools enable/disable` save, silently dropping the user's
listed entries (including default-off ones like video/video_gen) while
reporting success.
Coerce the JSON-list string at both read seams (_get_platform_tools and
_save_platform_tools' existing-entry preserve) so the selection is honored.
A scalar or malformed string still means "not a list" and keeps the default
fallback. (#115866)
Reconcile plugin declarations and validation through PM's atomic generation publication; preserve external runtimes, target markers, and conflict refusal. Keep one source-update completion owner and port upstream lifecycle changes to the PM desktop/runtime paths.
The Portal image plugin registered `provider_name="nous"` and rendered its own
"Nous Portal (image)" picker row. Selecting it wrote the same `image_gen.provider: nous`
as the managed FAL row, so both rows showed [active] for any managed selection and the
Portal pick was actually served by FAL.
The managed row is now the only Nous row (`imagegen_backend: "nous"`); its model picker
is the FAL + Krea + Portal union, filtered to the gateways the account is funded for
(free-pool accounts see FAL only). The Portal provider stays registered for pets but
no longer renders a row. CLI picker and dashboard model endpoints share the catalog.
hermes_cli/runtime_provider._getenv was a 4-line copy of get_secret(name,
default) or default; it becomes agent.secret_scope.get_secret_str (returns
default only when the secret is genuinely unset, still raises
UnscopedSecretError — a child's unscoped read is a spawn-site bug). The
runtime_provider_backends/_custom siblings call it directly instead of via
the origin module.
tools/tts_tool, tools/transcription_tools and tools/xai_http each carried an
identical get_env_value re-export kept "so tests can patch" it; the seam is
hermes_cli.config.get_env_value, read lazily at call time. Callers
(tts_streaming, tts_tool_providers, transcription_cloud, voice_client_config,
tools_config) go there directly; resolve_provider_secret already defaults to
it so the env_getter kwarg is gone. Tests repointed at the canonical; the two
tests that only proved the shim forwarded are deleted.
Behavior change: none.
Preserve upstream fixes without restoring retired dependency installers.
Run configured-feature checks in the selected build interpreter. Reuse a
supported base Python during bootstrap, and preserve durable backup media.
Refresh the dependency lock through PM. Keep the frozen historical import
surface unchanged. Adapt incoming native tests to the platform markers.
Verification: the incoming 86-file pass found two fixture mismatches;
both passed after correction. Targeted PM/update/compatibility checks,
Electron and renderer typechecks, and desktop tests passed.
Native Windows/macOS update journeys and the full suite remain unrun.
Competing installers and checkout-local venv assumptions bypassed PM
selection, install consent, and generation lifetimes. Route consumers
through PM and installation-bound launchers. Refresh source launchers
before obsolete Python entries can be collected.
Remove Node, browser, and CUA acquisition engines, obsolete venv-holder
handling, detached sync, and unused PM APIs. Keep historical updater
exports inert and preserve external tool ownership and native integration.
Share product freshness and prepared inputs across builders. Align plugin
admission, Docker provisioning, setup instructions, and behavioral tests.
Verified targeted Python and JavaScript tests, desktop and web typechecks,
scoped lint, real product builds, and the Docker frontend smoke test.
The missed post-setup test cleanup is included and verified.
Native Windows/macOS execution, full Rust compilation, and the complete
repository suite remain unverified. Historical compatibility requirements
were preserved and extended, not fully rescanned.

Refuse shallow regeneration. Preserve old names when current callers vanish.
Keep same-named function alternatives and require module-scope bindings.

* feat: add session-scoped connector access for onboarding
* fix(connectors): availability is the config flag AND the portal entitlement — no free-tier leg
The port carried a third availability leg from hermes-magic: a stored guest
(free-tier) identity short-circuits the managed-tool entitlement check. That
leg reads hermes_cli.anon_auth, which does not exist on hermes-agent main, so
connectors_available() raised ImportError inside its fail-closed try and the
whole connector surface was silently dark on a plain upstream checkout.
On this tree availability is the two-leg AND the design started with:
tools.connectors.enabled AND managed_nous_tools_enabled(). The free-tier leg
is a hermes-magic concern and belongs in hermes-magic's own delta over this
branch, next to the identity it depends on. Its integration test goes with it.
* docs(tool-search): connectors section — remote tools through the bridge
The squashed port carried the code but not the user-facing docs. Restores the
Connectors section of the Tool Search page and the connector-gateway host /
CONNECTOR_GATEWAY_URL override on the Tool Gateway page, updated for the
manage_connections tool and the pure-connector batch rule.
* fix(tool-search): connector tools rank with local tools in one pass instead of taking leftover slots
dispatch_tool_search ran BM25 over the local catalog, filled `limit` slots,
then appended connector hits only into slots left empty. On a 300-tool
catalog no slot was ever empty, so with Gmail and Google Calendar connected
"send gmail email" returned five betterstack tools and zero connector tools.
The gateway's hits for a query now become catalog entries (connector name,
slug words, description as the search text) and join the local catalog for
that query's BM25 pass. One ranking, one rarest-token admission rule for both
sources, `limit` as the total per query. The merge loop and the separate
record builder for connector hits are gone; `_shared_tool_record` serves both
sources.
The gateway search timeout rises from 8 s to 30 s. One request with six
use_cases measured 7 s, so 8 s sat on the edge and cut real answers off; the
failure path is unchanged (local-only results, no error to the model).
Live, 311 local tools + gateway, before -> after:
"send gmail email": 5 betterstack tools -> gmail SEND_EMAIL, CREATE_EMAIL_DRAFT
"read google calendar events": 5 betterstack tools -> googlecalendar EVENTS_LIST_ALL_CALENDARS
"linear create issue", "betterstack incident": unchanged
Benchmark (25 labelled queries): connector recall 0.09 -> 0.82, precision@5
0.18 -> 0.59, false positives on absent intents 17 -> 2.
* refactor(tool-search): connector leg into tools/connector_search.py
tools/tool_search.py is a facade. The connector leg (gateway hits as catalog
entries for tool_search, remote schemas for tool_describe, the
connections_in_scope gate) was appended to it by the port. It now lives in
its own sibling, tools/connector_search.py, and the facade imports the three
entry points: connections_in_scope, connector_entries_by_group,
remote_schemas_for.
No behaviour change. The tool_describe remote block became
remote_schemas_for(names, current_tool_defs, connector_describe) with the
same inputs, the same silent-degradation contract and the same injection
seam the tests already use.
* fix(tool-search): at most 7 queries per call, the gateway's search limit
One tool_search call sends all its queries to the connector gateway as one
search request. The gateway answers 7 use_cases per request and returns
HTTP 502 for 8 or more (measured 2026-09-09, re-measured with one-word
use_cases: it is a count limit, not a size limit). With the client cap at
10, a model sending 8 to 10 queries lost every connector hit for that call
and saw local-only results with no error.
The shared constant splits: _MAX_QUERIES_PER_CALL = 7 for search,
_MAX_DESCRIBE_NAMES_PER_CALL = 10 for describe, which has no remote count
limit. Eight or more queries now get the existing "too many queries" retry
hint before any request is made. No chunking: one call, one request.
* fix(tool-search): the model is told that connectors__ names are manage_connections accounts
tool_search results carry names like connectors__gmail__CREATE_EMAIL_DRAFT and
manage_connections is the tool that checks and connects those accounts, but
nothing told the model the two are the same thing. A model that hit
CONNECTION_REQUIRED had to infer the fix on its own.
The tool_search description gains one sentence making the link, added at
assembly only when manage_connections is in the session's tools. Signed out
or with connectors off the tool is absent and the description is unchanged,
so it never names a tool the model cannot call. This follows the existing
rule for cross-tool references (tools/AGENTS.md): they are added dynamically
from the session's actual tool set, never hardcoded in a schema.
Tool defs are fixed for the life of a conversation, so the description is
byte-stable per conversation; this is a one-time prefix change.
Live, real get_tool_definitions() against a signed-in home: sentence present.
Same home with auth.json removed: manage_connections absent, sentence absent.
* fix(connectors): /stop halts a connector batch before the next remote call
dispatch_connector_batch runs every remote entry of a tool_call batch in
sequence. The executor only checks the interrupt flag between tools, and
the whole batch is one tool to it, so a /stop landing during entry 1 of
20 still sent the other 19 to the gateway.
The loop now reads tools.interrupt.is_interrupted before each dispatch.
Once set, it stops calling handle_function_call and fills every unstarted
slot with the loop's existing error-slot shape, code INTERRUPTED and the
message "Stopped by the user before this call was made.", so the result
envelope stays valid and the counts stay honest. Entries already
dispatched keep their real results.
Test: three connector calls where the fake client sets the interrupt on
the first execute. The client sees exactly one call and slots 2 and 3
carry INTERRUPTED. Red on the base branch, green with the fix.
* test(connections): schema assertions become dispatch contracts
test_schema_documents_wait_and_its_timeout froze description fragments
("REQUIRED", "can NOT disconnect", "Nous Portal"). A wording edit fails
it while a real regression (a disconnect that reaches the gateway) does
not. That is a snapshot of prose, not a behaviour contract.
Delete it. The requirement that wait needs connectors is already covered
by test_wait_requires_connectors. The user-only disconnect boundary is
now asserted as behaviour: action disconnect with a connector returns an
error and the fake client records no call. That replaces the earlier
de-authenticate test, which only checked that the word "dashboard"
appeared in the error text.
Test count in the file goes from 26 to 25.
* docs(tool-search): connector batches are one gateway request per entry
The user guide said a connector batch travels as one gateway request. It
does not: model_tools_connectors.dispatch_connector_batch re-enters core
dispatch per entry, and each entry becomes its own execute request in
bridge._run_remote (plus at most one literal-slug retry when the gateway
reports TOOL_NOT_FOUND under the conventional slug). The docstrings in
tools/tool_gateway/bridge.py and tools/tool_gateway/__init__.py still
described the abandoned V1 plan and claimed nothing outside the package
imports it.
Rewrite those sentences to match the code: one request per entry, in
input order, dispatched from model_tools_connectors.py, with the per-entry
approval and interrupt behaviour that motivated the split. The guide also
still showed the single-call shape tool_call(name, arguments); both
places now show the `calls: [{name, arguments}]` array the schema
advertises and note that a single local call is an array of one.
Docs only, no test.
* fix(tools): the between-turns refresh never rewrites the bridge tools
The per-turn MCP refresh folds a fresh tool snapshot into the live array
with preserve_prefix: order and membership stay, but a name present in both
takes the fresh schema. That is right for ordinary tools, whose schema is a
constant. tool_search is the one tool whose description is derived from the
session: the deferred-tool count, the embedded listing, and, on this branch,
whether manage_connections was present. A late MCP server or one failed
portal lookup (manage_connections' check_fn fails closed) changed those bytes
on the next turn, and every byte after tool_search in the cached prefix was
re-prefilled. The array also contradicted itself in that case: the flapping
manage_connections was carried forward while the description lost its hint.
The bridge entries now keep the bytes they were built with for the life of
the conversation. Nothing is lost: tool_search reads the live catalog at
dispatch, so tools that arrived late are still found; connector availability
is checked at dispatch too. The compaction-boundary rebuild (content_aware,
the one sanctioned cache break) still refreshes the description.
Consequence: connector exposure in the prompt is decided once, at agent
build, by whether the user was signed in then. That is the intended
contract.
* refactor(tool-search): normalize_tool_call_entries lives with the other argument validation
The port appended the tool_call argument parser to the tool_search facade.
The family already has tools/tool_search_validation.py for exactly this
work (schema validation of deferred call arguments), so the parser moves
there and the facade imports it. No behaviour change; the one test that
imported it now imports from the defining module.
* refactor(connectors): delete the unused batch dispatcher; _run_remote becomes run_remote
bridge.dispatch_calls and its helpers (_dispatch_calls_inner, _run_pre_dispatch,
_run_local, _error_slot, _maybe_parse_json) and the LocalDispatch / PreDispatch
seams had no production caller. Connector dispatch runs through
model_tools_connectors: dispatch_connector_batch re-enters handle_function_call
once per entry, so scope, hook, approval and middleware policy fire against each
composed name inside core dispatch, and dispatch_connector_call hands the single
planned entry to the bridge's transport function. Only tests called the batch
dispatcher, and they exercised policy seams that production never wires.
The transport function is the module's real entry point, so it drops the
underscore: _run_remote becomes run_remote, body unchanged. The module
docstring now describes the two legs that exist (availability with D32 silent
degradation, and run_remote) instead of the injected seams. Imports that only
the deleted code used are gone; merge.py is untouched because every export
still has a caller.
Tests that drove dispatch_calls are deleted where they covered the removed
seams (pre_dispatch blocks and rewrites, local_dispatch classification, mixed
batches). The literal-slug fallback, the per-entry transport failure, and the
hook rewrite reaching the gateway request body are re-targeted at
handle_function_call('tool_call', ...) with the fake client swapped in at
bridge._default_client_factory, the same seam test_connector_dispatch_policy
uses. Each re-targeted test fails when the retry is disabled in run_remote.
* fix(connectors): search keeps the twin a colliding name reaches, and says so
format_connector_name strips the toolkit prefix, so GMAIL_FETCH_PROFILE and a
literal FETCH_PROFILE on gmail both compose to connectors__gmail__FETCH_PROFILE.
describe and execute decode that name to the prefixed slug first, so the
literal twin is unreachable under it. If a vendor ever shipped both, search
could describe the literal under a name that runs the prefixed tool.
Search is the one place that sees both twins in one response. It now keeps
the twin the name reaches and drops the other with a WARNING that names both
slugs, whichever the gateway listed first. Short names stay; no marker, no
per-process map, no change to describe or execute. No such pair exists in the
live catalog today; the guard turns a silent alias into a logged one.
Resolve each remaining toolset once and state the keep-rule positively
(no static tools, or at least one tool survived the runtime subtraction)
instead of building a drop-set in a second resolve loop.
hermes tools --summary and CLI /tools used name-level disabled_toolsets subtraction, so disabling debugging still showed terminal/web/file as enabled while runtime stripped those tools. Prune platform toolsets after tool-level subtraction and pass disabled_toolsets into CLI get_tool_definitions calls.

Every PLUGIN-COMPAT __getattr__ now calls hermes_cli.plugin_compat.warn_once(facade, name, target) before
resolving, emitting a HermesPluginCompatWarning (FutureWarning) once per process per name: old path, new
path, removal target. Importing a facade for its live API stays silent; only resolving a moved name warns.
COMPAT_MANIFEST.md documents the warning and how to silence it during migration.
Verified the runtime never routes through a pointer: every entry point (run_agent, cli, hermes_cli.main,
gateway.run, tui_gateway.server, web_server, model_tools + tool discovery, hermes_state, cron.scheduler,
browser_tool, mcp_tool, kanban, auth) imports clean and `hermes doctor` runs end to end with the warning
promoted to an error.
Also restores the check_compat_pointers CI step to .github/workflows/lint.yml, which a0be177aac dropped
when the compat layer was regenerated (the lint script itself was present; the workflow step was not).
hermes_cli/plugin_compat.py, tests/test_plugin_compat_warning.py and the two-line insert per facade are
part of the compat layer and go away with it.
The Sep 2026 decomposition (PR #102117) makes internal import paths a non-API: names now live in
the focused modules that define them. This commit is the ONLY thing keeping the old paths alive,
so external plugins have time to update. It is deliberately a single, unsquashed commit:
git revert <this sha>
removes every shim, stub and manifest at once on the announced date. Nothing in-tree may depend on
these pointers: scripts/check_compat_pointers.py (wired into lint.yml) fails CI if it does.
What it adds (see COMPAT_MANIFEST.md, compat_manifest.json):
- 332 facade modules get one delimited `PLUGIN-COMPAT` block appended at the end of the file
- 1,172 moved names resolved lazily via a module `__getattr__` (PEP 562) — never a top-level import,
so no import cycles; facades that already had `__getattr__` get a chained one
- 592 third-party/stdlib names the old modules used to expose, with their original import statements
- 266 public definitions that had been deleted as unused, restored byte-for-byte from the pre-decomposition
tree (+40 private helpers and 16 imports pulled in only because a restored definition needs them)
- 3 deleted modules recreated as re-export stubs (gateway/startup_watchdog, hermes_cli/observability/
relay_runtime, tools/environments/modal_utils)
- private names (`_x`) get no pointer: they were never API (3,792 skipped)
Verified: all 335 touched modules import under a fresh HERMES_HOME and every manifest name resolves;
the lint reports zero in-tree uses; ruff clean; targeted suites unchanged.
For each issue anchor present in BASE 63279301bc non-test .py and absent on HEAD, the BASE comment/docstring block was re-attached at the HEAD location of the code it explained (matched by the distinctive code line / enclosing def). Sentences already covered by an existing HEAD comment were deduped; the issue number always survives. Insert-only: no code lines changed.
