Follow-up to #80451. /api/status cleared gateway_platforms whenever the
gateway process was down — correct for a clean stop (stale 'connected'
states are noise) but wrong for startup_failed, where the fatal entries
ARE the diagnosis: per-profile credential collisions and auth failures
(multiplex '<profile>:<platform>' keys) that the single exit_reason
string cannot express. #80451's writer-identity and freshness filters
already drop entries from other/older processes, so preserving
fatal-state entries here cannot leak another gateway's live state.
Live-validated shape: a real multiplex gateway (2 secondary profiles,
rejected tokens) persists telegram / alpha:telegram / beta:telegram
fatals in gateway_state.json; /api/status previously reported {} for
platforms while state was startup_failed.
Rework of the #88049 inline early-return per review:
- resolve_xai_http_credentials gains an opt-in prefer_api_key flag that
checks the explicit XAI_API_KEY first and falls back to OAuth. The key
is read through tools.tool_backend_helpers.resolve_provider_secret
(config -> profile secret scope -> env/.env -> credential pool) so the
preferred path enforces the same scope policy as the existing fallback
branch, including failing closed under a multiplexed gateway turn.
- The preferred path's base URL honors HERMES_XAI_BASE_URL then
XAI_BASE_URL behind hermes_cli.auth._xai_validate_inference_base_url,
mirroring the OAuth branch (a foreign origin can't exfiltrate the key).
- x_search's _resolve_xai_bearer now calls the shared resolver with
prefer_api_key=True instead of re-implementing precedence inline (#88040).
- tools/tts_tool.py _generate_xai_tts converted to the same flag — same
root cause for /v1/tts 403s (#87045, supersedes the inline shape in
#87081 by @enwaiax).
- Regression tests retargeted at the tools.xai_http.get_env_value seam and
the shared resolver; added coverage for the flag's OAuth fallback,
HERMES_XAI_BASE_URL + origin validation, default-order stability, and a
profile-scope-only key on the preferred path.
- Docs: x-search authentication section now states the explicit API key
wins (metered billing implication).
When a paid XAI_API_KEY is configured alongside xAI SuperGrok OAuth,
_resolve_xai_bearer() took the OAuth path unconditionally. The OAuth
credential authorizes /v1/responses but answers in a degraded Grok
explanatory mode with no citations, while the API key returns real
posts - so every x_search query silently degraded (#88040).
Prefer the explicit API key when set (same shape as the TTS fix for
#87045 in #87081), keeping OAuth as the fallback when no API key is
configured. The shared resolver and every other xAI call site are
unchanged.
When check_gateway_lifecycle refuses a cron script that lives on a
FileProvider path, the generic error implied the job contained a dangerous
gateway lifecycle command. Surface the real reason instead — the script
lives on a cloud-synced path whose evicted placeholder could hang the
preflight scan — while staying fail-closed. Regression test asserts the
cron-script scan path blocks without opening the file and that the message
names the cloud-synced path rather than a lifecycle command.
Widen #88052 per review:
- The walk-level short-circuit only protected _contains_unsafe_gateway_action;
the sibling caller _read_script_for_scanning still opened cloud-resident cron
scripts and could hang preflight. Move the check into _read_referenced_script,
the shared choke point, so every caller fails closed without opening.
- Generalize _is_apple_file_provider_path -> _is_cloud_placeholder_path: detect
~/Library/CloudStorage (Dropbox/OneDrive/Google Drive third-party FileProvider
domains) alongside iCloud's Library/Mobile Documents.
- Regression tests: CloudStorage lexical path blocked without open; the choke
point itself refuses cloud paths with os.open forbidden.
Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+B worktree flows on a remote gateway route through the
backend's /api/git mirror (hermes_cli/web_git.py), but that mirror had
drifted behind the Electron-local git ops the same UI drives locally, so
the flows broke exactly and only on remote connections:
- Convert-a-branch: the picker offers remote-tracking refs, and the
Electron op turns "origin/feature" into a local tracking branch. The
mirror ran `git worktree add <dir> origin/feature` verbatim, which
either fails or detaches HEAD. It now resolves the ref's remote via
git (never assuming "origin"), fetches best-effort, and creates the
worktree with `--track -b <short-name>`.
- branch_list omitted remote-tracking refs entirely and never set the
`isRemote` flag the renderer's HermesGitBranch contract requires —
the convert picker on a remote gateway couldn't reach a teammate's
branch and mislabeled every row's action.
- Branching off an `origin/…` base silently wired the new branch to the
remote upstream; the mirror now passes `--no-track` like the Electron
op does.
Renderer side, replace the silent degradation with a capability gate:
when a remote backend predates the /api/git worktree routes, worktree
creation failed with an opaque "Expected JSON … got HTML" toast. The
route-missing shapes now surface a clear "update the Hermes backend"
message (isGitEndpointMissingError, mirroring the sidebar batch-endpoint
detector); real git errors still pass through untouched.
Sibling audit (documented, no code change needed): repo status / review /
file-diff / git-root / default-cwd already route through desktopGit()'s
REST bridge or /api/fs on remote; repo scan is deliberately a no-op there.
Stale comments claiming "empty/false on a remote backend" in projects.ts
and coding-status.ts updated to describe the backend-routed reality.
Fixes#81724
The white catchlight dots in BotFace were static circles pinned at the
circle-face eye line (cy 16.5), while the animation clock moves the
pupils to the shape-aware eye line (cy 22 for the cloud). On the cloud
avatar the highlights floated above the eyes instead of inside them.
- Tag the catchlights (data-hb-hl-l/r) and move them with the pupils in
paintMathFace, offset upper-left of each pupil center.
- Render the initial eyes/catchlights/shut-lids at the shape-aware eye
line so the first frame matches the animated frames.
#88048 documented the token-writer self-pin (bound-method thread target +
strong atexit hook) as a permanent contract: "__del__ never runs for
exactly the instances that leak". #88063 then removed both pins (idle
writer retirement + weakref atexit hook), making abandoned handles
eventually collectible.
Reword the __enter__ docstring and the context-manager test module
docstring to describe the pin as historical motivation, note the #88063
behavior, and keep the guidance that owners close deterministically.
No code changes.
The freshness window (updated_at >= live process create_time - 2s) had a
P1 boundary hole: a stale failure written by the PREVIOUS process
immediately before a fast restart landed inside the slack and was
aggregated; if that platform was then removed, the new process never
replaces the entry and NAS stays degraded indefinitely.
Replace clock heuristics with persisted writer identity:
- write_runtime_status now stamps every platform entry with the writing
process's (writer_pid, writer_start_time) — the same PID-reuse
fingerprint the liveness checks use, so a recycled PID never
masquerades as the original writer.
- The aggregation ownership filter requires exact equality between an
entry's stamp and the profile's validated live gateway process
(get_runtime_status_running_pid + _get_process_start_time). No slack,
no timestamps. Legacy entries without a stamp fail closed.
- Writer stamps are process recon (same class as the auth-gated
gateway_pid) and are stripped from all /api/status projections, both
active-profile and merged cross-profile entries.
Near-boundary regression test: prior-process entry stamped 100ms before
restart is excluded; recycled-pid-different-fingerprint excluded;
legacy no-stamp excluded; current-process entry kept.
Gateway startup deliberately preserves plain platform entries in
gateway_state.json across restarts, and the active-profile endpoint
compensates by filtering against current configuration. The cross-profile
aggregation copied raw maps, so a fatal entry for a platform the operator
had since disabled/removed could keep NAS reporting the instance degraded
indefinitely.
The aggregation has no cheap per-profile config context (platform sets
depend on tokens in each profile's .env behind its secret scope), so use
freshness instead: an entry is aggregatable only when its updated_at is
at/after the live gateway process's create time (validated PID via
get_runtime_status_running_pid + psutil create_time; the record's own
start_time field is a PID-reuse fingerprint in clock ticks, not a
timestamp). Config changes require a restart to take effect, so
restart-anchored freshness is exactly the config filter's semantics.
Fail closed: unparseable timestamps or no live process exclude the entry
— a false 'degraded forever' is the worse failure mode.
- /api/status now folds LIVE independent per-profile gateways' platform
failures (gateway_mode == 'multiple', the OOF-3 deployment mode) into
gateway_platforms under the validated <profile>:<platform> grammar, so
NAS fleet health sees them without a schema change. ?profile= requests
stay unmerged (single-profile view).
- Namespaced-key validation no longer fails open: colon-containing keys
are grammar-checked even when configured-platform loading throws.
- Platform key segment now accepts hyphens, matching plugin platform IDs
(plugins/platforms/<dir> names, e.g. foo-bar).
Scoped credential locks (Telegram bot token, Discord bot token, etc.) are
machine-global, but the conflict error only reported the holder's PID:
Telegram bot token already in use (PID 559). Stop the other gateway first.
On multi-profile hosts (e.g. hosted instances running 13 profiles), a bare
PID gives the operator no way to tell WHICH profile owns the credential —
the exact failure mode observed on zerocool-9781, where the 'default'
profile was misconfigured with the same bot token as 'lead-gen-outreach'
and logged an unattributable conflict every ~5 minutes (4,602 rows).
Fix:
- acquire_scoped_lock() now stamps a 'profile' label on lock records,
inferred from the process HERMES_HOME (<root>/profiles/<name> layouts,
'default' for the root home). Omitted when not inferable.
- New scoped_lock_owner_label() resolves the owning profile from a lock
record: prefers the explicit field, falls back to inferring from the
persisted hermes_home for locks written before the field existed.
Labels are validated against the profile-id grammar before use (lock
files are plain JSON on disk and the label flows into log lines and a
suggested CLI command).
- _acquire_platform_lock() conflict message now names the owning profile
and gives the correct remedy:
Telegram bot token already in use by the 'lead-gen-outreach' profile
gateway (PID 559). Stop that gateway first
(hermes --profile lead-gen-outreach gateway stop).
Records with no attribution signal keep the original PID-only wording.
Testing:
- New TestScopedLockOwnerLabel suite covering label inference (named,
Docker, root/default, unknown layouts), grammar validation, explicit-
field preference, hermes_home fallback, and legacy/malformed records.
- acquire_scoped_lock tests for profile stamping and omission.
- Adapter-level tests for profile-attributed, legacy-home-inferred, and
PID-only conflict messages.
- 76/76 targeted gateway tests pass; broad gateway suite failures are
baseline-identical (verified via git stash comparison). Ruff clean.
Completes PR #74468 (remote gateway headers for Cloudflare Access, #74466)
against the v2 multi-connection registry that landed after the PR was
authored, and closes the review blockers:
- connection-registry: additive optional `headers` field on remote/cloud
entries (normalized through the same forbidden-name filter, secret
envelopes like `token`); inherited on edit, treated as dial material by
connectionDialFieldsChanged, preserved by normalizeRegistry, and carried
through migrateV1ToRegistry. v2 registries without the field load
unchanged — no version bump.
- main.ts registry paths: connectRegistryBackend dials with the entry's
headers (readiness probe, ticket mint, descriptor REST via
getJsonForBackend/fetchJsonForBackend, registry ws-url minting with
rememberRemoteWsHeaders so renderer upgrades get them injected).
- saveRegistryConnection encrypts incoming plaintext header values with the
same safeStorage/allowPlainText seam as tokens; sanitizeRegistryConnection
exposes only header NAMES to the renderer — values never cross IPC.
- Connection tests exercise the leg they validate: both
hermes:connection-config:test and hermes:connections:test now send the
configured headers on the HTTP status call, the ws-ticket mint, AND the
live WebSocket probe (probeGatewayWebSocket grew an injectable `headers`
option passed as the undici WebSocket constructor's second argument).
- Settings → Connections gains an "Extra gateway headers" editor for
remote/cloud entries (name + secret value rows, stored values shown as
saved-but-hidden, clearable), with i18n keys (en + zh; other locales fall
back through defineLocale).
A dropped registered remote connection (SSH or HTTP) never recovered on
its own: the next boot attempt failed with a transient transport error
("Could not verify the existing SSH backend", ERR_CONNECTION_RESET,
mint timeout), the failure was correctly NOT latched, but nothing ever
re-attempted the boot — the renderer's reconnect machinery only arms
after a completed boot. The app parked on "Desktop boot failed" until
the user manually deleted and re-entered the same connection details,
which merely forced the fresh bootstrap an automatic retry would have
performed (issue 82679, feature ask 80430).
Root causes and fixes:
- electron/backend-start-failure.ts: new isRetryableRemoteBootFailure()
predicate — a remote, non-reauth boot failure is transient and may be
retried; local failures and confirmed 401/403 rejections are not
(a missing capability differs from a transient failure).
- electron/main.ts: the boot-failure progress broadcast now carries
`retryable` (rides with `error` through updateBootProgress), and a
failed reuse probe against a cached SSH master tears the stale
master/tunnel down so the next attempt bootstraps fresh — exactly
what manual re-entry did.
- use-gateway-boot.ts: bounded self-heal loop for a failed boot whose
progress is marked retryable — up to 5 re-attempts with the same
full-jitter backoff as the socket reconnect loop (2s base, 15s cap).
Exhausted retries end in the real boot-failure recovery overlay,
never an infinite spinner. Reset on success and on soft switch;
timer cleared on unmount.
- store/boot.ts: resumeDesktopBootForRetry() re-arms the overlay with a
retry status while an automatic retry is in flight.
Secondaries already had full-jitter backoff (store/gateway.ts); this
closes the same class for the PRIMARY/registered-connection path.
Tests: predicate matrix (retryable vs reauth-latch mutually exclusive),
plus renderer hook tests proving a transient SSH failure self-heals on
the next attempt, retries are bounded (6 total dials then the recovery
overlay, no further attempts), and non-retryable failures never enter
the loop. Sabotage-verified (disabling either half fails 4 tests).

Expose the existing profile-aware gateway boot reconnect path through a
single-flight renderer action, and surface a Reconnect button in the
gateway status menu panel whenever the socket is not open. Repeated
clicks share one in-flight reconnect; failures surface through the
existing non-destructive notification UI. Localized copy for all
supported Desktop locales.
Salvaged from PR #80694 (net diff re-applied onto current main; panel
code lives in app/shell/gateway-menu-panel.tsx now).
Independent review of the prior commit found the cache-invalidation key
alone doesn't fix the reported #88023 dead path: slash.exec runs as a
_LONG_HANDLER on the pool with a copied context, and no binding of
_HERMES_HOME_OVERRIDE happens between the transport read and the handler
body, so get_skill_commands() there always fell back to the process-level
HERMES_HOME regardless of which profile's session issued the request.
Bind the session's own profile_home around the get_skill_commands() check,
mirroring the same bind/reset-in-finally pattern already used at every
other per-turn HERMES_HOME scoping site (e.g. server.py's prompt-turn and
system-prompt-rebuild paths). This makes the #88023 dead path actually
reachable by the fix instead of only exercising the cache primitive in
isolation.
Switching Desktop profiles mid-session changes HERMES_HOME but not the
platform scope, so get_skill_commands() kept serving the previous
profile's skill list. A skill only available under the new profile then
looked like a cache miss to callers such as slash.exec, which fall
through to the slash_worker dead path (#88023).
MEDIA_TAG_CLEANUP_RE (and MEDIA_EXTENSIONLESS_TAG_RE) only recognized
ASCII terminators after a MEDIA:<path> tag. Chinese-language agent
output naturally writes MEDIA:D:\...\zhibao.pdf（782.6 KB）or ...pdf：内容 —
the full-width punctuation failed the trailing lookahead and the
attachment was silently dropped (cron even reported 'delivered') (#88038).
Both lookaheads now accept a CJK full-width terminator set (（）〈〉《》：，。；
！？、curly quotes【】) alongside the ASCII set. The #68773 adjacent-tag
splitting guard is covered by a regression test.
A SessionDB handle cannot be released by dropping the last reference.
Once its background token writer starts, the instance pins ITSELF two
ways: the writer thread's target is a bound method, and
queue_token_counts registers atexit.register(_drain_token_queue_at_exit),
which only close() unregisters. A dropped-but-pinned handle keeps its
state.db/-wal/-shm descriptors for the life of the process, and __del__
never runs for it, so the existing safety net is dead code for exactly
the instances that leak.
That is why owning call sites are expected to close explicitly, in those
words, in the ownership comments in run_agent.py and
tui_gateway/methods_session.py. This adds the ergonomic half of that
contract so an owner can scope a handle and be exception-safe by
construction:
with SessionDB(path) as db:
db.append_message(...)
Purely additive. __enter__ returns self, __exit__ closes and returns
False so a caller's exception always propagates, and close() is already
idempotent, so a scope that closes early still exits cleanly. Nothing
changes for callers that already close directly.
Four regressions cover the scope closing the handle, __enter__ returning
the instance itself, the failure path closing while still propagating,
and an early close leaving the exit clean. They assert on the
sqlite_safe_read tracking registry rather than raw descriptor counts,
matching test_session_db_read_conn_pool.py, because SQLite's unix VFS
parks a closed descriptor on a per-inode reuse list and makes raw counts
lag the real connection count.
Refs #88033
Since the managed-cron redesign (#84339, v2026.8.13) the dashboard fire
webhook forwards fires to the gateway process and returns 503 when it is
unreachable so NAS/QStash retries. Correct for transient windows — but an
operator-STOPPED gateway can never be fixed by retrying: every fire on
every job burns the full scheduler retry budget, NAS converts each 503 to
a retryable 502, and the resulting storms page on-call for a non-incident
(OOF-266 and its five duplicate tickets; +93% relay callback failures as
the fleet adopted v2026.8.13).
Split the unreachable path by durable operator intent:
- desired_state == "stopped" (written only by the s6 lifecycle commands;
the same intent signal container-boot reconciliation trusts) -> drop
the fire with 200 + a structured log line, mirroring NAS's own
instance_stopped drop. Jobs are not lost: the Chronos provider
reconciles and re-arms every job on the next gateway start.
- Anything else (crash loop, scale-to-zero wake, restart, legacy state
file without desired_state) -> keep the retryable 503, now stamped
with Retry-After: 60 so a scheduler that honors it spaces retries
past the wake/restart window instead of exhausting them inside it.
The gateway's own pass-through 503s (draining) get the same hint.
The intent check fails open (any parse/resolution error -> retryable
path) and is only consulted when the gateway is actually unreachable, so
a stale state file can never shadow a live gateway.
OpenAI enabled the large-context window for ChatGPT-subscription Codex
accounts (announced by @thsottiaux Aug 16 2026; previously API-key-only).
Live re-probe the same day: 911,276 input tokens completed OK on
gpt-5.6-sol; ~925K+ rejected with context_length_exceeded (1.05M window
minus reserved output headroom). terra, luna, and gpt-5.4 all completed
900,026 tokens OK. The Codex catalog still advertises 272K, so the
stale-advertisement override from #87981 is the right lever — this just
raises its value 350K -> 900K.
gpt-5.5 and gpt-5.4-mini still enforce 272K live (rejected 500K) and
remain excluded. Override semantics unchanged: fires only on an
exactly-272,000 advertisement; any live catalog change is trusted
verbatim.
Pulls the multi-source roster into the bundled plugin: profiles.list rows
from the active gateway are merged with the host.agents() union roster
(hermes-agent #86875), so the Bots panel shows agents from every registered
Desktop connection with @name-device handles for duplicates. Feature-detected
and best-effort — an older Desktop build or roster failure leaves the
single-source list untouched.
Adapted for the bundle:
- useRoster queryFn combines the bot_mode_protocol capability read (which
landed after #68 was cut) with the multi-source merge
- multi-source-roster tests updated for the namespace SDK import harness
- soul-protocol-backfill anchor widened for the new botHandle(name, bot)
signature
Plugin suite: 143/143.
The config-read guard (test_config_read_guard) correctly flagged the
probe's raw yaml.safe_load of config.yaml — raw reads miss the managed
overlay, env expansion, and normalization. Use load_config_readonly()
under a scoped HERMES_HOME override instead. E2E v3/v3b and the guard
both green.
Bot Chats created before the epoch mechanism persisted prompts with no
protocol section and no stamp — the staleness check only fires on
stamped prompts, so pre-existing bots would never learn to message
teammates. stored_bot_chat_prompt_needs_upgrade() migrates them: one
rebuild, title-gated to Bot Chat, only when the probe would actually
emit a section (SOUL-append legacies and unmanaged installs are left
alone — rebuilding those would loop). The rebuilt prompt carries the
stamp, so the upgrade can never re-fire.
E2E v3b through the real restore path: legacy Bot Chat upgraded once
then verbatim-reused; legacy regular sessions byte-untouched.
tests/agent/ 4648/4648.
Bot Chats break the "new sessions come often" assumption behind
build-once system prompts: capability edits used to sit invisible until
/new or compression, and the frozen birth date became misinformation.
- tools/bot_mode_probe.py: capability_fingerprint() hashes the profile's
capability surface (disabled skills, toolset pins, MCP config, SOUL.md,
installed skills, Bot-Mode roster); Bot Chat prompts embed the 12-hex
epoch stamp
- agent/conversation_loop.py restore path: stored Bot Chat prompt whose
epoch mismatches disk → ONE rebuild (through a cleared skills-prompt
cache so new installs appear), persisted so the next turn reuses the
new bytes verbatim. Prompts without a stamp — every non-Bot-Chat
session — never take the branch; probe failure fails closed to reuse
- agent/system_prompt.py: Bot Chat prompts are timeless — the
"Conversation started:" date is dropped (timezone kept); no ticking
fields in an eternal session
- tui_gateway: _sync_bot_capabilities at turn start rebuilds the live
agent (tool definitions are construction-baked) when the fingerprint
moves, same session id/history, with a user-visible notice
Cache stance: this is the /model exception applied to capabilities — a
loud, user-initiated, once-per-change prefix break. Unchanged state
hashes identically and stored bytes are reused verbatim (E2E-proven).
Validation: 9 probe unit tests incl. per-axis fingerprint changes;
E2E v3 against the real restore path (fresh build → verbatim reuse →
skill install → single refresh w/ new skill in index → verbatim reuse;
regular sessions dated, unstamped, never refreshed); tests/agent/
4647/4647.
Live desktop E2E caught a write-ordering bug the automated E2E missed:
tui_gateway applies pending_title to state.db AFTER the first turn, but
the system prompt builds at turn START — the DB-title gate saw nothing
and the Bot Chat was cached protocol-less forever. The gateway now
hands the agent its intended title at construction and the gate checks
the hint first, DB second (CLI/messaging-gateway paths unchanged).
Live-verified on the running desktop: fresh bot's Bot Chat persisted
with the protocol section, handle, and roster in its system prompt;
regular sessions and SOUL.md untouched.
Found in live desktop E2E: the generated-identity path of composeSoul
still appended the protocol section even when the backend injects it
into the system prompt. New agents now get a clean identity-only SOUL
against capable backends; older gateways keep the append. Covered in
the capability-suppression test.
Per review: the protocol belongs only in official Bot Mode interactions,
not every session on a managed install. The prompt builder now injects
the section only when the agent's session row is titled "Bot Chat"
(BOT_CHAT_TITLE, matching the desktop's createCanonicalChat pin and the
`hermes -p <bot> chat -c "Bot Chat"` resume target). Regular sessions
never carry it; the desktop composer middleware owns @mention sends.
Title is read once at first prompt build and the rendered prompt is
cached + DB-restored — cache-safe. E2E against the real AIAgent +
SessionDB: absent in an untitled session, present in Bot Chat,
byte-stable across rebuilds, absent after retitle, absent with the
flag off. Overhead unchanged (~916B, Bot Chat sessions only).
apps/desktop/src/**/*.js is gitignored (stale tsc output shadows .tsx),
which silently dropped the hermes-bots plugin.js from the adoption
commit — tests shipped, source didn't, CI ENOENT'd. Negate the pattern
for src/plugins/*/plugin.js: adopted plain-ESM plugins have no .tsx
sibling, so the shadow hazard cannot apply.
Replaces the plugin-side SOUL.md protocol append: on Bot-Mode-managed
installs (any profile carrying ui_meta['hermes-bots']) the prompt builder
injects the "Messaging other agents" section into every session of every
profile — including headless `hermes -p <bot> chat` sessions a teammate
starts — so bot handoffs work without mutating user-authored SOUL files.
- tools/bot_mode_probe.py: silent-when-unmanaged probe, cached per
(process, home), keyed off the agent's OWN home (not ambient
HERMES_HOME); silent when SOUL.md already carries the legacy section
- agent/system_prompt.py + agent_init.py + config_defaults.py: wired as
agent.bot_mode_protocol (default True), stable tier, byte-stable
across rebuilds (E2E-verified against the real build_system_prompt)
- tui_gateway profiles.list gains bot_mode_protocol capability flag;
the bundled plugin gates ALL SOUL protocol writes on it (backfill,
composeSoul, Edit save) — older gateways keep the SOUL-append path
- overhead: ~916 bytes, only on Bot-Mode installs; zero elsewhere
Supersedes the SOUL backfill half of Hermes-Bot-Mode#99 (credit
@kaduxo — the handle fix, `hermes profile list` correction, and
idempotent-append guards from that PR ship in the bundled plugin).
Adopts the Hermes-Bot-Mode desktop plugin (NousResearch/Hermes-Bot-Mode)

- contrib/runtime-loader.ts: a disk/runtime copy of an id that ships

double-register)

The live suite previously called appendMidTurnUserMessage directly, leaving
redirectPrompt's appendAfterActiveReply guard — the production decision of
WHERE a correction lands — outside the harness. Both hooks now mount together
sharing one state map, exactly as the desktop wires them, so a regression in
the caller (not just the insert) goes red. Verified by mutation: disabling the
guard fails 2/4.
Also covers the rejected-redirect path: a not_running response discards the
optimistic bubble instead of stranding a correction the model never saw.
The hydration fixture now carries the durable row shape the client actually
receives (row_id, reasoning, provider call_id/response_item_id on tool_calls)
instead of a hand-simplified echo, so the 'mirrors real state.db rows' claim
is honest. The fake-timer steer id counter is gone with the local insert —
ids come from redirectPrompt itself.
Review follow-ups: steer ids now come from a monotonic counter instead of
Date.now() (frozen under fake timers — two steers without a clock advance
would have collided), and the settle-above assertion documents its
load-bearing sealed-bubble assumption.
A steered turn's contract — pre-steer output above the correction bubble,
post-steer output and the settled reply below it — was fixed across
several PRs (#73793/#83151 class, settle fixes) but only covered piecewise:
the mid-turn insert as a unit, the settle math as a unit. Nothing drove the
real stream reducer through a whole steered turn, and nothing asserted the
durable-row hydration renders the same order after reload.
Two suites close that:
- steer-arrival-order: full event sequences through useMessageStream's real
handler + the real optimistic insert — single steer with tool activity,
steer racing message.complete, double steer in one turn.
- steered-turn-hydration-order: toChatMessages over persisted row shapes
copied from a real state.db steered turn, including a tool result that
lands after the correction row.
When Hermes Desktop works against a REGISTERED gateway connection, cron
jobs execute on that gateway and persist their run sessions in the
gateway's state.db. But every REST call in the app — the cron surface
included — carried only `profile`, so `hermes:api` routed it through the
local profile pool and `_list_cron_job_runs_sync` read a local state.db
with zero `source='cron'` rows. Every job showed "No runs yet" while the
same endpoint on the gateway returned the real runs (#87882).
Fix at the routing seam:
- HermesApiRequest gains an optional `connectionId`. The renderer's cron
helpers (list/get/runs/delivery-targets/create/update/pause/resume/
trigger/delete/blueprints) now tag the active registry connection via a
new connectionScoped() twin of profileScoped(), fed from the same
setApiRequestConnection seam store/gateway already maintains for the
plugin socket.
- The hermes:api main-process handler resolves a tagged request through
ensureRegistryBackend — the SAME pool the job list and WS traffic use —
instead of the legacy profile route. Shared remote/cloud hosts (one
gateway, many profiles) get the path scoped with ?profile= via the new
pathWithProfileScope helper, factored out of pathWithGlobalRemoteProfile.
- '' / 'local' / absent connectionId keep the byte-identical v1 route, so
single-source and connection-config-remote users are unaffected.
This covers the run-history panel, the sidebar cron peek, and every other
cron surface in one place, since they all funnel through the same helpers.
