feat(computer-use): provision cua-driver at install time and on toolset enable
Choosing Computer Use should be a config flip, not a hunt for
'hermes computer-use install'. Three provisioning rungs:
- install.sh / install.ps1 pre-install cua-driver (best-effort,
non-fatal, time-boxed at 660s above the upstream installer's 600s
lock window; --skip-computer-use / -SkipComputerUse to opt out;
Termux and unwritable-/Applications skipped cleanly)
- PUT /api/tools/toolsets/{name} (dashboard + desktop toggle) spawns
the background 'hermes tools post-setup cua_driver' action when the
toolset is enabled while the binary is missing — previously the
toggle 'saved' but the tool never appeared in the schema because
check_computer_use_requirements() couldn't find the binary
- hermes tools interactive flow already installed via
_toolset_needs_configuration_prompt/_POST_SETUP_INSTALLED (unchanged)
Docs: computer-use.md enabling section rewritten around the new flow;
installation.md documents --skip-computer-use.

docs: four small accuracy fixes
- cron: state explicitly that job definitions survive updates, gateway restarts and reboots (asked directly in #37542) - mcp: add a Claude Code bridge tip - mcpServers maps to mcp_servers and hermes import-agent migrates it (the MCP page never says 'mcpServers' in the client direction; arrivals from Claude Code get no pointer) - installation: surface loginctl enable-linger in the non-sudo/service user section where affected users start (currently only on the gateway page; #43748) - sessions: document optimize, optimize-storage, repair, recover and retitle-skills in the CLI reference (shipped in v0.19.1 --help but absent from the table) and recommend non-destructive optimize before prune in the db-growth tip All wording verified against hermes v0.19.1 --help output and the live pages on 2026-08-04. |

rip out brew + pip/PyPI wheel support (#68217)
Removes Homebrew and PyPI wheel/sdist as Hermes distribution paths while
preserving the supported source, Docker, and Nix workflows.
Changes:
- Removes the Homebrew formula, PyPI publish workflow, sdist manifest
(MANIFEST.in), and wheel/sdist release-attachment logic from scripts/release.py.
- Keeps setuptools metadata and entry points required by editable installs
and Docker/Nix builds, but adds a setup.py guard that rejects wheel/sdist
builds outside a sealed Nix derivation (HERMES_NIX_BUILD=1).
- Removes pip/Homebrew install detection, PyPI update checks, the pip
self-update path, the deprecation-banner state, the postinstall subcommand,
wheel data-directory fallbacks in agent/i18n.py and hermes_constants.py,
and the ACP Registry manifest/version-lockstep release logic.
- Adds /nix/store/ path detection so `nix run` / `nix profile install`
installs (which don't set HERMES_MANAGED) are correctly identified as
"nix" rather than falling through to "git"/"unknown".
- Retired install-method values ("pip", "homebrew") in existing
.install_method stamps (both code-scoped and home-scoped) are ignored by
the allowlist reader and fall through to "unknown" instead of resurrecting
a retired enum value.
- Updates Nix packaging to ship bare runtime data (locales, optional-mcps)
through store symlinks and wrapper env vars instead of wheel data-files.
- Removes the ACP Registry manifest/icon and their version-lockstep tests.
- Deletes or rewrites packaging, pip-update, Homebrew, and ACP Registry
tests; adds parametrized coverage for the packaging build guard covering
BOTH sdist and wheel paths (the guards live in separate cmdclass entries
— a passing sdist test proves nothing about the wheel path).
- Updates installation/platform documentation and related user-facing copy.
- Adjusts the supply-chain scan so deleted install-hook files do not trigger
a finding, while additions or modifications still require the existing
ci-reviewed label gate.
Supported installation paths (unchanged):
- git installer (install.sh)
- Docker
- Nix/NixOS
- editable development installs (uv sync, uv pip install -e ., pip install -e .)

docs(nix): mark Nix/NixOS as no longer explicitly supported (#52975)
Add a deprecation banner to the top of the dedicated Nix & NixOS setup guide and consistency notes at the Nix sections of installation, updating, and the plugin-distribution guide. Nix is now best-effort only; the supported install paths are the curl|bash installer, Docker, and Windows. |

docs: remove --include-desktop install instructions (#39762)
* docs: remove --include-desktop install instructions Drop the --include-desktop curl one-liner from the desktop app docs. The flag remains in scripts/install.sh; these docs now point to the desktop installer / website and the 'hermes desktop' path instead. * docs: remove --include-desktop from install docs Drop the redundant 'Hermes Desktop installer on Linux' block (which used --include-desktop) from quickstart, installation, and index docs. The website installer covers macOS/Windows desktop; the CLI-only path covers Linux. Removes the flag from all user-facing docs. |

Add Hermes desktop app (#20059)
* feat: better composer etc * docs: add desktop and dashboard run instructions * fix(desktop): address security scan findings * fix(dashboard): resolve @nous-research/ui path under npm workspaces The sync-assets prebuild step shelled out to 'cp -r node_modules/@nous-research/ui/dist/fonts ...' with a path relative to apps/dashboard/. That works only when the dep is installed locally in the dashboard workspace, but 'npm install' at the repo root (the documented setup — see apps/desktop/README.md) hoists shared deps to the root node_modules under npm workspaces. The relative cp then fails with 'No such file or directory', sync-assets exits 1, the Vite build aborts, and 'hermes dashboard' surfaces a generic 'Web UI build failed' message. Replace the shell one-liner with scripts/sync-assets.cjs, which walks up from the dashboard directory looking for node_modules/ @nous-research/ui — working in both the hoisted (workspaces) and co-located (standalone) layouts. Also guards against a missing dist/fonts or dist/assets with a clearer error pointing at a rebuild of the UI package rather than silently copying nothing. * feat(desktop): support connecting to a remote Hermes backend Add HERMES_DESKTOP_REMOTE_URL and HERMES_DESKTOP_REMOTE_TOKEN env vars that, when set, short-circuit the local-child spawn in startHermes() and connect the Electron renderer to an already- running 'hermes dashboard' server reachable over the network. Motivating use case: WSL2 users who want to run the Hermes core (agent loop, tools, filesystem access) inside their WSL distribution while rendering the Electron GUI on native Windows. Before this change, the desktop app always spawned a local Python child on the same host as the renderer, which doesn't cross the WSL/Windows boundary. The remote path reuses waitForHermes() as a liveness probe (/api/status is in the backend's public endpoint allowlist), so the connection is only returned once the backend is actually ready. WebSocket URL derivation picks ws:// or wss:// based on the input scheme. URL validation rejects non-http(s) schemes and requires both env vars together to avoid a half-configured connection that would silently fall through to the spawn path. No behaviour change when the env vars are unset — the default local-spawn flow is untouched. Typical usage: # in WSL2 hermes dashboard --tui --no-open --host 0.0.0.0 --port 9119 --insecure # on Windows set HERMES_DESKTOP_REMOTE_URL=http://localhost:9119 set HERMES_DESKTOP_REMOTE_TOKEN=<session token> set HERMES_DESKTOP_IGNORE_EXISTING=1 (launch Hermes desktop) * ci(desktop): automate desktop releases Add GitHub Actions release channels for signed desktop installers and document the stable/nightly download paths. * feat: file tabs * refactor(desktop): tighten right-rail tab close API Promote closeRightRailTab/closeActiveRightRailTab as the single public entry point. Drops the activeTabRef + handleCloseDocument indirection in ChatPreviewRail, the unused $rightRailHasContent atom, and the legacy dismissFilePreviewTarget alias. -70 LOC. * feat(desktop): polish composer pill toward reference look Solid foreground-on-background send/voice-conversation circle (black-on-white in light, white-on-black in dark) anchors the right edge as the primary CTA instead of the orange theme primary. Bumps the primary control to 2.125rem so it visually outranks the ghost mic/plus controls. Opens up the surface padding (0.625rem x / 0.5rem y) so the input row breathes around its controls, and nudges the corner radius from 20 to 24px for a slightly pill-ier silhouette. LiquidGlass distortion is preserved. * feat(desktop): add startup and onboarding flow Add phase-based desktop boot progress, fresh-install sandbox testing, and first-run provider credential onboarding so packaged installs can start cleanly without manual settings detours. * fix(desktop): gate prompts on provider setup Show the desktop provider onboarding flow before prompt submission when no inference provider is configured, preventing fresh installs from falling through to backend credential errors. * fix(desktop): surface provider onboarding from session warnings Propagate credential warnings through session runtime info and open desktop onboarding whenever a session reports no usable provider, so unconfigured installs cannot fall through to prompt errors. * fix(desktop): route gateway provider errors to onboarding The "No inference provider configured" auth error reaches the renderer through gateway error events, not the prompt.submit promise; the previous patch only caught the latter, so the error toast still surfaced and onboarding never opened. Also strip credential-shaped env vars from the test:desktop:fresh sandbox so the packaged backend can't see provider keys leaking from the launching shell. * fix(desktop): use strict runtime check to drive onboarding setup.status returned True whenever any provider auth state was discoverable, including indirect fallbacks like a gh-CLI Copilot token. That made desktop think the user was set up while the agent's actual resolve_runtime_provider call still raised AuthError, leaving the user with a useless toast and no onboarding. Add a setup.runtime_check gateway method that runs the same resolver the agent uses on session creation, and switch the desktop onboarding overlay and prompt precheck to use it. * feat(desktop): OAuth-first onboarding using existing dashboard provider API Replace the engineer-flavored API key form with a Sign-in-first onboarding overlay that uses the dashboard's existing /api/providers/oauth catalog and PKCE/device-code endpoints (Anthropic, Nous, OpenAI Codex, etc.). API key entry is now a fallback tab with friendly provider names instead of env var prefixes, and the loud raw resolver error is gone in favor of a one-line welcome message. * fix(desktop): polish onboarding provider list Reorder OAuth providers so Nous Portal is first, give the segmented Sign in / API key control equal column widths, and replace the engineer-flavored backend names like "Anthropic (Claude API)" / "MiniMax (OAuth)" with friendlier in-app titles. External-CLI providers now show a softer subtitle and an external-link icon instead of a chevron. * refactor(desktop): split onboarding overlay into store + view Move the OAuth state machine, runtime check, copy-to-clipboard, and api-key save into store/onboarding.ts (matching the boot.ts pattern), leaving the overlay as a presentation layer that subscribes via useStore. Tabs are now table-driven, child panels read flow from the store instead of prop-drilling, and the polling/PKCE/error/success branches share a small Status atom. * fix(desktop): external CLI providers + center mode tabs External-CLI providers (Claude Code, Qwen Code) now open an in-overlay panel with the CLI command, copy button, and an "I've signed in" recheck instead of firing an invisible toast. Center the Sign in / API key tab control so it sits under the heading instead of hugging the left edge. * fix(desktop): drop onboarding tabs for an inline link, group device-code waiting state Replace the Sign in / API key tab pair with an "I have an API key" footer link under the OAuth provider list, with a "Back to sign in" affordance inside the API key form. Group the device-code "Waiting for you to authorize..." status next to the Cancel button so the alignment matches the action. * refactor(desktop): tighten onboarding store + overlay Drop the dead isOnboardingBusy/BUSY set, factor the catch-fallback dance into safeReq, and share a single reloadAndConnect helper between PKCE submit, device-code success, external recheck, and api-key save. In the overlay, extract Step / CodeBlock / FlowFooter / CancelBtn / DocsLink atoms so the four sign-in panels share the same chrome instead of repeating it inline. Net effect: fewer literal divs, one place to touch the spacing, and the code-block + footer rows are reusable across future flows. * fix(desktop): mount onboarding from frame 1 to kill the FOUT Default onboarding.configured to null (unknown until the runtime check resolves) and have the onboarding overlay render whenever it's not yet confirmed true. The boot overlay now yields to it, so the very first paint is the Welcome card with a "While we get you set up..." progress strip instead of a flash of the chat shell between boot dismiss and onboarding mount. The picker swaps in cleanly once the gateway opens and the runtime check confirms the user is not configured. Already-configured users see the same prep card briefly while their existing runtime warms up, then the overlay dismisses without touching the chat shell. * fix(desktop): top-align empty sessions placeholder The "Start a chat to build your history." empty state used a min-h-35 grid place-items-center container, which floated the text in a tall dead zone. Render it as a flat paragraph that sits right under the section header like the empty pinned state does. * refactor(desktop): drop dead boot overlay Onboarding overlay subsumes the boot card now that it mounts from frame 1 and renders boot progress inline. The standalone DesktopBootOverlay is unreachable in every flow (yields whenever onboarding has not confirmed configured, dismisses once it has). * fix(desktop): hide pinned/recents sections until first session A fresh sidebar showed the Pinned and Recent chats headers with floating empty-state copy underneath. Drop both sections (and the now-orphan SidebarEmptySessionState) when there are no sessions yet — they reappear after the first chat. Skeletons during initial load are unchanged. * feat(gui): route embedded TUI through dashboard gateway (#21979) Inject HERMES_TUI_GATEWAY_URL into dashboard PTY sessions so embedded ui-tui instances attach to the in-process websocket gateway, with coverage for the new env wiring. * Add desktop remote gateway settings Make the desktop gateway connection configurable from settings so local remains the default while remote backends can be saved, tested, and applied without environment variables. * feat(gui): first-class Messaging page + gateway menu redesign - Add Messaging page to the desktop app with per-platform setup, status, and inline guidance. Catalog derives from gateway.config Platform enum + plugin registry, so every messaging adapter the CLI supports (Telegram, Discord, Slack, Mattermost, Matrix, WhatsApp, Signal, BlueBubbles, Home Assistant, Email, SMS, DingTalk, Feishu, WeCom, Weixin, QQ, Yuanbao, API server, Webhooks, plugins) shows up without per-platform code. - New REST endpoints: GET /api/messaging/platforms, PUT and POST /test on the same path. Secrets go through the existing .env pipeline; enable/disable writes config.yaml. - Replace gateway statusbar dropdown with a richer panel: status row, icon-only restart + system-panel actions, recent activity (with timestamps trimmed in display, full text on hover), platform list. - Auto-poll the messaging page every 6s (paused when hidden) so status updates without a manual check. - Drop Settings / Command Center from the sidebar nav (still reachable via shortcuts and the titlebar cog). - Flatten top corners on Messaging/Skills/Artifacts/Chat panes. - Share new StatusDot component across messaging + gateway menu. - Fix gateway/config.py so an explicit platforms.<name>.enabled=false in config.yaml is honored when env tokens are present. - pb-9 on the chat content area for breathing room above the composer. * Potential fix for pull request finding 'CodeQL / Clear-text logging of sensitive information' Co-authored-by: Copilot Autofix powered by AI <62310815+github-advanced-security[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> * pin electron version * hide application menu on non-mac systems * interpret compactPreview for non-string vlaues as JSON or an empty string * fix(desktop): keep composer contenteditable mounted across stacked toggle The composer rendered {input} inside two different parent fragments depending on `stacked`. When auto-expand flipped `stacked` (e.g. the moment typed text wrapped past two lines), React reconciled the two branches as different positions and unmounted/remounted the contenteditable. The fresh mount started empty, so any in-flight characters — most reliably reproduced by holding a key — were lost. Replace the conditional with a single CSS Grid whose template-areas swap on `stacked`. The three children (menu, input, controls) keep stable identities across the toggle; only their grid placement changes, which the browser handles without React tearing down the editor. * refactor(desktop): align install layout with install.ps1 / install.sh Make the desktop app's runtime layout match what scripts/install.ps1 and scripts/install.sh produce, so a desktop-only user and a CLI-only user end up with the same files in the same places and can share one install. Layout - ACTIVE_HERMES_ROOT = HERMES_HOME/hermes-agent (was: process.resourcesPath/hermes-agent, read-only) - VENV_ROOT = HERMES_HOME/hermes-agent/venv (was: userData/hermes-runtime) - desktop.log = HERMES_HOME/logs/desktop.log (was: userData/desktop.log) - HERMES_HOME default: %LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes on Windows, ~/.hermes elsewhere The packaged .app/.exe still ships a read-only payload at process.resourcesPath/hermes-agent (FACTORY_HERMES_ROOT). On first launch or after an installer-driven upgrade we sync factory -> active, then provision the venv and run pip install -e . against the active root. Key behaviors - Pin HERMES_HOME in the spawned Python's env so get_hermes_home() resolves to the same path resolveHermesHome() picked. Without this, Python falls back to ~/.hermes on every platform - fine on mac/linux, a split-state bug on Windows where our default is %LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes. - Detect developer installs by .git presence at ACTIVE; never overwrite a user's checkout via factory sync. - Marker at ACTIVE/.hermes-desktop-runtime.json (schema v4) tracks pyproject hash + factory version + runtime schema version. depsFresh fast-paths when nothing changed. - Dev (npm run dev) prefers SOURCE_REPO_ROOT over ACTIVE so devs run their local edits, not whatever's under HERMES_HOME. - Better error messages distinguish "no payload" from "no Python". - Preserve a legacy ~/.hermes on Windows when no %LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes exists, so users with prior pip/manual installs aren't orphaned. pyproject.toml - Promote fastapi, uvicorn[standard], ptyprocess (non-Windows), and pywinpty (Windows) to main dependencies. The dashboard backend (hermes dashboard) needs them at runtime; the previous lazy-import fallback was a footgun for fresh installs. - Empty the [pty] optional-extra; kept as a no-op back-compat alias for any existing pip install hermes-agent[pty] invocations. Drops the hardcoded BUNDLED_RUNTIME_REQUIREMENTS list in main.cjs - the desktop now installs whatever pyproject.toml says, single source of truth. Files - apps/desktop/electron/main.cjs: runtime layout, HERMES_HOME pin, factory->active sync, marker v4 - apps/desktop/scripts/test-desktop.mjs: track new venv location - apps/desktop/README.md: new Setup, Runtime Bootstrap, and Debugging sections - pyproject.toml: fastapi/uvicorn/pty backends in main dependencies; [pty] extra emptied Tested locally on Windows: npm run dev boots cleanly, sessions land at the new location, type-check + lint + test:desktop:platforms all pass. Verified end-to-end on a fresh Win11 VM via dist:win installer. Known gaps (filed as follow-ups, not in this PR): - Skills not seeded on packaged installs (sync_skills only runs in cmd_chat, not cmd_dashboard). Need to move to shared pre-dispatch. - Git Bash not bundled or detected; agent's terminal tool errors out with a useful message but desktop bootstrapper should pre-flight it. - install.ps1 / install.sh should be decomposed into composable phase libraries so the desktop bootstrapper can reuse them as a single source of truth across all install surfaces. * feat(desktop): theme polish, prose chat typography, composer chrome - DS tokens/midground, Backdrop, scoped scrollbars, typography plugin + prose - Composer liquid/radius utilities, thread font parity, tool/thinking cues - File tree label scale, preview flex, thread retry loading + streaming tests * feat(desktop): NSIS prereq detection page + auto-install via winget The packaged Windows installer now detects Python 3.11+ and Git for Windows at install time and offers to install missing prereqs via winget. Mirrors the prereq logic scripts/install.ps1 already runs for CLI installs, so desktop installer users get the same out-of-the-box experience as install.ps1 users. Why - Hermes' terminal tool calls bash.exe directly (tools/environments/ local.py); on Windows that's Git Bash from Git for Windows. Without it, the agent fails on the first terminal() call. - Hermes' Python runtime needs 3.11+. Without it, the desktop bootstrapper errors out at venv creation. - Both gaps surfaced on a fresh Windows 11 VM smoke test: VM had Python pre-installed but no Git, so the agent's first terminal call failed with "Git Bash isn't installed." - install.ps1 has had Install-Git + Install-Uv functions for ages. The desktop installer was the asymmetric outlier. How — NSIS prereq page - New file: apps/desktop/installer/prereq-check.nsh (plugged into electron-builder via build.nsis.include) - Real Wizard page using nsDialogs, inserted via customPageAfterChangeDir hook (between the Directory page and InstFiles). - Group boxes for Python and Git, each showing detection status. - Pre-checked install checkboxes when winget is available. - Auto-skips silently if both prereqs are already installed. - Falls back to manual download URLs when winget itself is missing. - Detection: - Python: probes `py -3.11`/`-3.12`/`-3.13`/`-3.14` via the Python launcher. Microsoft Store "Python stub" (no py.exe) is correctly classified as not-installed. - Git: `where git`. - winget: `where winget` (Win10 1809+ / Win11 with App Installer). - Install execution (in customInstall macro): - Python: nsExec::ExecToLog with `--scope user --silent`. Per-user install, no UAC prompt, output streams to install log. - Git: ExecShellWait via Windows ShellExecute. Critical because Git always installs per-machine and triggers UAC; ShellExecute preserves the foreground focus chain across non-elevated → elevated process spawns, so UAC actually comes to the foreground. nsExec::ExecToLog breaks the chain because winget runs hidden. - Both pass `--disable-interactivity --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements` to suppress winget's own dialogs. - Verification: probes Git's standard install locations via FileExists rather than `where git`. NSIS's process inherits PATH at startup, so a freshly-installed Git won't be visible to `where` until restart. - Silent installs (/S) skip the prompts; managed deploys handle prereqs out-of-band via Group Policy / Intune. How — Electron-side safety net - New findGitBash() in main.cjs, parallel to findSystemPython(). Probes the same locations as tools/environments/local.py:_find_bash() so a positive result here means the agent's terminal tool will work. - ensureRuntime now throws a clear, actionable error on Windows when Git Bash isn't found, matching the existing "Python 3.11+ is required" error path. - Catches users the NSIS page doesn't: .msi installer users (NSIS prereq page doesn't run for MSI), `npm run dev` users, manual installers, anyone who unchecked the install boxes on the NSIS prereq page. - All gated on `IS_WINDOWS`; macOS / Linux unaffected. NSIS build issue (resolved) - electron-builder defaults to `-WX` (warnings as errors). NSIS optimizer emits "warning 6010: function not referenced" for our page functions because Page custom directives don't count as references in its static-analysis pass. The functions ARE called at runtime when NSIS invokes the page; the optimizer just can't see it statically. - Set `build.nsis.warningsAsErrors=false` in package.json so this spurious warning doesn't fail the build. (Documented option from electron-builder's nsisOptions.) Out of scope (filed for future work) - MSI prereq detection: Windows Installer custom actions are a different mechanism. Enterprise deploys typically handle prereqs via GP/Intune. - Bundle PortableGit + python-build-standalone in extraResources for zero-network installs. ~80MB increase. - Mac / Linux GUI prereq flows (different installer formats; Xcode CLT covers most macOS prereqs already; Linux is per-distro hard). Files - apps/desktop/installer/prereq-check.nsh (new, ~290 lines NSIS) - apps/desktop/package.json (build.nsis.include + warningsAsErrors) - apps/desktop/electron/main.cjs (findGitBash + preflight) - apps/desktop/README.md (Runtime prerequisites section) Cross-platform impact - macOS / Linux builds (dist:mac, dist:mac:dmg, dist:mac:zip): nsis config is ignored entirely; .nsh is dormant. - npm run dev: .nsh dormant; main.cjs preflight gated on IS_WINDOWS. - scripts/install.ps1, scripts/install.sh: no reference to any new files; CLI install paths untouched. - Hermes CLI / dashboard / gateway: no reference; runtime untouched. - All checks: node --check on main.cjs and test-desktop.mjs pass; npm run test:desktop:platforms 4/4 passing; node --test green. Tested - npm run dist:win produces signed .exe and .msi without errors. - Fresh Win11 VM (Python pre-installed, no Git): prereq page renders, Python check shows detected, Git checkbox pre-checked. Click Next → Git installs via winget with UAC prompt in foreground. - After install completes, Hermes launches and the agent's terminal tool can run bash commands. Verified Git Bash is detected at `C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe` by ensureRuntime's preflight. * feat: theme changes, composer tweaks, in app update ux, finesse * fix(cli): seed bundled skills on dashboard + gateway entrypoints `sync_skills(quiet=True)` was only being called from inside `cmd_chat`, which meant `hermes dashboard` (the desktop GUI's backend) and `hermes gateway` (Telegram/Discord/Slack/etc daemons) never seeded the bundled skill library into ~/.hermes/skills/. This surfaced as "No skills found" in the desktop GUI's skills panel on fresh installs, despite the agent having access to the full bundled library when invoked via `hermes chat`. scripts/install.ps1 worked around it by running skills_sync.py as part of Copy-ConfigTemplates, but that's not part of the desktop installer's bootstrap chain. Fix - Extract the skills-sync block from cmd_chat into a module-level `_sync_bundled_skills_quietly()` helper. - Call the helper from cmd_chat (preserving existing behavior), cmd_dashboard (after the --status/--stop early-return paths and fastapi import check, so we don't run skills_sync on management commands or when deps aren't installed), and cmd_gateway. Why these three entrypoints - cmd_chat: the user's primary CLI entrypoint - cmd_dashboard: the desktop GUI's backend; this is what `hermes dashboard --tui` invokes when the desktop bootstrapper spawns Hermes - cmd_gateway: long-running daemons where the user expects the agent to have full skill access Other entrypoints (cmd_config, cmd_doctor, cmd_login, cmd_status, etc.) are management commands that don't need skill discovery and were never running skills_sync in the first place — leaving them alone. Idempotence - tools/skills_sync.py is manifest-based: skipped skills cost milliseconds. Calling it from multiple entrypoints adds no real cost, and users running `hermes chat` then `hermes dashboard` get two fast no-ops on the second call. Failure handling - Helper wraps skills_sync in try/except. Skills are an enhancement, not a hard dependency — Hermes runs fine with an empty skills/ dir. Files - hermes_cli/main.py: + new helper `_sync_bundled_skills_quietly()` at module level + cmd_chat: replace inline block with helper call + cmd_dashboard: add helper call after fastapi import succeeds + cmd_gateway: add helper call before delegating to gateway_command * feat(desktop): hoisted todo widget, JSON tool summaries, history grouping & timer fixes - Hoist todo to first-class widget (shadcn checkboxes, brand colors, no tool-accordion). Header derives label from active task; non-active rows fade. - Replace raw JSON dumps with structured key/value summaries via formatToolResultSummary; nested error extraction for clearer failures. - Fix loaded-session grouping: stitch interleaved assistant/tool iterations into one bubble instead of orphaned synthetic messages. - Stable tool/thinking timers via keyed registry so unmount/scroll doesn't reset elapsed counts; gate "running" on real live thread state. - Reorganize chat-only assistant-ui components under components/chat/. * fix(desktop): address CodeQL alerts on PR #20059 - settings/helpers.ts: harden setNested against prototype pollution. POLLUTING_PATH_PARTS check is now applied at every assignment site (loop + leaf) and uses Object.defineProperty so CodeQL can see the guard inline rather than via a helper function call. - lib/markdown-preprocess.ts: rebuild the dangling-fence close regex from a fence-char + length instead of marker.replace(...). The marker is captured by `(`{3,}|~{3,})` so it can only be backticks or tildes, but CodeQL was tracing tainted input text into the RegExp source and flagging hostname dots from input as part of the pattern (false positive js/incomplete-hostname-regexp on the test fixture URLs). Reconstructing from a literal char breaks the dataflow. - scripts/notarize-artifact.cjs: drop args from the run() rejection message. Args carry --key-id / --issuer / key file path; the existing outer catch already squashes errors to a generic line, but CodeQL was flagging the args.join(' ') as clear-text logging of APPLE_API_KEY_ID. Composer DOM-text-as-HTML alerts (composer/index.tsx:379, :547) are already addressed in |

docs: drop early-beta framing for native Windows support (#36093)
Native Windows is out of beta. Removes the early-beta warnings, headings, and rough-edge framing across the README and docs (EN + zh-Hans), keeping the WSL2-only dashboard PTY caveat. Historical RELEASE_v0.14.0.md notes are left intact since they accurately describe the state at that release. - README: Windows install + cross-platform notes - index.mdx, installation.md: headings, warning admonitions, parity note - windows-native.md: title/sidebar_label/warning, provider-hunting tip - contributing.md, nous-portal.md: cross-platform / Portal parity prose - Repoint cross-links to the renamed installation#windows-native-powershell anchor (EN) and #windows原生powershell (zh, also fixes pre-existing drift) |

fix(website): cross-locale doc links + drop empty ko locale (#31895)
The locale switcher appeared broken because hardcoded markdown links (`](/docs/X)`) got double-prefixed by Docusaurus to `/docs/<locale>/docs/X` (404) in non-English locales, and the MDX hero `<a href>` on the index page escaped locale routing entirely. Changes: - Rewrite 922 `](/docs/X)` -> `](/X)` across 166 docs files (strip trailing .md too). Docusaurus prepends locale + baseUrl itself. - docs/index.md -> index.mdx; hero "Get Started" anchor -> Docusaurus <Link> so it stays inside the active locale. - Drop `ko` locale entirely from docusaurus.config.ts + delete i18n/ko/ (4 stale auto-translated kanban pages, <2% coverage, misleading). Verified `npm run build` succeeds for both en and zh-Hans; `build/zh-Hans/ index.html` has no /docs/zh-Hans/docs/... double-prefixed paths. PR2 will translate the 335 English docs into i18n/zh-Hans/. |

docs: surface Nous Portal on pages where it solves a real problem the page describes (#30874)
Follow-up to #30869. Adds Portal mentions on user-facing pages that naturally call for an LLM + tool credentials but didn't previously acknowledge Portal as a one-stop option. - getting-started/installation.md: tip after the 'after install' block pointing at 'hermes setup --portal' for users who want everything wired at once instead of piecewise via 'hermes model' + 'hermes tools'. - user-guide/configuring-models.md: small tip near the top — the page is literally about provider/model choice and previously had zero Portal mention. - user-guide/features/voice-mode.md: Prerequisites need both an LLM and TTS — a Portal subscription is the single setup that covers both. - user-guide/features/batch-processing.md: highlights Portal as a predictable-cost option for parallel agent runs that hit many APIs. - user-guide/features/api-server.md: backend needs models + tools; one Portal sub gives a fully-equipped OpenAI-compatible endpoint. - user-guide/windows-native.md: early-beta users on Windows benefit most from skipping per-tool Windows-key-juggling. - integrations/providers.md: updates the existing Tool Gateway tip and the Nous Portal section to mention the new commands. - user-guide/features/fallback-providers.md: Nous row in the provider table now lists 'hermes setup --portal' as the fresh-install path. Tone discipline: one Portal mention per page, concrete CLI commands (no marketing copy), always solving a problem the page itself sets up. |

docs: comprehensive 2-week sweep of feature/PR coverage gaps (#28497)
Catch the website docs up to two weeks of merged work (May 4 – May 18, 2026, roughly 1,080 PRs). The audit found ~50 user-visible features that had landed in code with no docs footprint, plus a handful of stale pages. This PR closes every gap the scan turned up. New pages - user-guide/features/deliverable-mode.md — extension list, agent triggers, kanban_complete artifacts pattern, [[as_document]] override (PR #27813). - developer-guide/web-search-provider-plugin.md — authoring guide modeled on image-gen-provider-plugin, covering brave_free / ddgs / etc. (PR #25448). Providers / auth - Rename "Alibaba Cloud" → "Qwen Cloud (Alibaba DashScope)" everywhere the display label shows up; provider id stays `alibaba` (PR #24835). - Document OAuth refresh-token quarantine for xAI / MiniMax / Codex (PRs #28116 / #28118 / #28119). - Document Nous JWT minting from refresh token + invalid-refresh quarantine + cross-profile shared token store (PRs #27663 / #19712). - Add `## Microsoft Entra ID authentication (keyless)` section to azure-foundry guide — DefaultAzureCredential, RBAC, OpenAI + Anthropic routing details (PR #28101 / #9df9816da). - Custom providers `api_mode` is now prompted-and-persisted, not just URL autodetected (PR #25068). - Delegation honours `api_mode` + auto-detects anthropic_messages base URLs (PR #26824). - `x_search` auto-enables when xAI credentials are present (PR #27376). - Add `xAI Grok OAuth (SuperGrok)` row to providers headline table (PR #26534). - NVIDIA NIM billing-origin header is set automatically (PR #26585). Windows / installer - `install.ps1`: document `-Commit <sha>` and `-Tag <v>` pin params plus the BOM-strip / git-retry hardening (PR #28169). - Document Hermes Desktop thin installer + first-launch bootstrap (PR #27822). - Document `dep_ensure` Windows bootstrap (PR #27845). - Document install-method auto-detection (pip / git / homebrew / nixos) and the matching update command (PR #27843). Gateway / messaging - `/platform list|pause|resume` full description + circuit-breaker semantics (PR #26600). - Slack / Matrix / Mattermost get parallel `allowed_channels` / `allowed_rooms` allowlist sections matching Telegram/Discord/DingTalk (PR #21251). - Discord `allow_any_attachment` + `max_attachment_bytes` (config and env vars) (PR #27245). - Discord clarify-choice button rendering (PR #25485). - Telegram `guest_mode` @mention bypass for allowlisted groups (PR #22759). - Telegram `notifications` mode (`important` vs `all`) (PR #22793). - `[[as_document]]` skill / response directive for forcing document-style media delivery (PR #21210). CLI / TUI - `/new [name]` argument (PR #19637). - `/subgoal` user-supplied criteria appended to `/goal` (PR #25449). - `/exit --delete` flag confirmation prompts for destructive slash commands (PR #22687). - Status-bar additions: ▶ N background indicator (PR #27175), context compression count (PR #21218), YOLO mode banner+statusbar warning (PR #26238). - `display.timestamps` + `docker_extra_args` config keys (PR #23599). - TUI collapsible startup banner sections (PR #20625). - `HERMES_SESSION_ID` exported to tool subprocesses (PR #23847). i18n - Refresh display.language locale list from 8 → 16 (en, zh, zh-hant, ja, de, es, fr, tr, uk, af, ko, it, ga, pt, ru, hu) — matches `agent/i18n.py:SUPPORTED_LANGUAGES`. Tools / features - `vision_analyze` native-pixel passthrough for vision-capable callers, with auxiliary text-describer fallback (PR #22955). - `session_search` rewrite to the single-shape tool (discovery / scroll / browse modes) (PRs #27590 / #27840). - Clarify MCP transport scope: client supports stdio + SSE; embedded `hermes mcp serve` is stdio-only (PR #21227). - Web search backends table: add Brave Search (free tier) and DDGS rows (PR #21337). - ACP session-scoped edit auto-approval modes (PR #27862). - Curator rename map in the user-visible per-run summary (PR #22910). - Prompt caching feature page reference in features/overview.md — Claude cross-session 1-hour prefix cache on native Anthropic / OpenRouter / Nous Portal (PR #23828). - Cron per-job profile parameter (PR #28124). - `--no-skills` flag for `hermes profile create` (PR #20986). Build - Verified with `npm run build` in `website/`; both `en` and `zh-Hans` locales compile. Remaining broken-link/anchor warnings are pre-existing (`rl-training.md` from learning-path / overview; the zh-Hans translation lag the docs skill already calls out). |

fix(install): support non-sudo service-user installs on apt distros (#25814)
The Debian/Ubuntu branch of install_node_deps() ran 'npx playwright install --with-deps chromium' unconditionally. Playwright invokes sudo interactively to apt-install Chromium's system libraries, which blocks the installer for non-sudo users (systemd service accounts, unprivileged operator users) on an unsatisfiable password prompt. Changes: - install.sh: gate --with-deps behind a sudo capability check on the apt branch (matches the existing Arch/pacman branch pattern). Non-sudo users fall back to 'npx playwright install chromium' alone and the installer prints the exact 'sudo npx playwright install-deps chromium' command an administrator can run separately. - install.sh: add --skip-browser (alias --no-playwright) to skip the Playwright step entirely for headless installs that don't need browser automation. Mirrors the existing --no-venv / --skip-setup shape. - installation.md: add a 'Non-Sudo / System Service User Installs' section covering the admin/service-user split, the --skip-browser flag, and the ~/.local/bin PATH gotcha (the root cause of the 'No module named dotenv' error users hit when running the repo source 'hermes' script with system Python instead of the venv launcher). - test_install_sh_browser_install.py: regression coverage for the --skip-browser flag and the sudo-gate on the apt branch. Reported by @ssilver in Discord. |

docs: deep audit — fix stale config keys, missing commands, and registry drift (#22784)
* docs: deep audit — fix stale config keys, missing commands, and registry drift Cross-checked ~80 high-impact docs pages (getting-started, reference, top-level user-guide, user-guide/features) against the live registries: hermes_cli/commands.py COMMAND_REGISTRY (slash commands) hermes_cli/auth.py PROVIDER_REGISTRY (providers) hermes_cli/config.py DEFAULT_CONFIG (config keys) toolsets.py TOOLSETS (toolsets) tools/registry.py get_all_tool_names() (tools) python -m hermes_cli.main <subcmd> --help (CLI args) reference/ - cli-commands.md: drop duplicate hermes fallback row + duplicate section, add stepfun/lmstudio to --provider enum, expand auth/mcp/curator subcommand lists to match --help output (status/logout/spotify, login, archive/prune/ list-archived). - slash-commands.md: add missing /sessions and /reload-skills entries + correct the cross-platform Notes line. - tools-reference.md: drop bogus '68 tools' headline, drop fictional 'browser-cdp toolset' (these tools live in 'browser' and are runtime-gated), add missing 'kanban' and 'video' toolset sections, fix MCP example to use the real mcp_<server>_<tool> prefix. - toolsets-reference.md: list browser_cdp/browser_dialog inside the 'browser' row, add missing 'kanban' and 'video' toolset rows, drop the stale '38 tools' count for hermes-cli. - profile-commands.md: add missing install/update/info subcommands, document fish completion. - environment-variables.md: dedupe GMI_API_KEY/GMI_BASE_URL rows (kept the one with the correct gmi-serving.com default). - faq.md: Anthropic/Google/OpenAI examples — direct providers exist (not just via OpenRouter), refresh the OpenAI model list. getting-started/ - installation.md: PortableGit (not MinGit) is what the Windows installer fetches; document the 32-bit MinGit fallback. - installation.md / termux.md: installer prefers .[termux-all] then falls back to .[termux]. - nix-setup.md: Python 3.12 (not 3.11), Node.js 22 (not 20); fix invalid 'nix flake update --flake' invocation. - updating.md: 'hermes backup restore --state pre-update' doesn't exist — point at the snapshot/quick-snapshot flow; correct config key 'updates.pre_update_backup' (was 'update.backup'). user-guide/ - configuration.md: api_max_retries default 3 (not 2); display.runtime_footer is the real key (not display.runtime_metadata_footer); checkpoints defaults enabled=false / max_snapshots=20 (not true / 50). - configuring-models.md: 'hermes model list' / 'hermes model set ...' don't exist — hermes model is interactive only. - tui.md: busy_indicator -> tui_status_indicator with values kaomoji|emoji|unicode|ascii (not kawaii|minimal|dots|wings|none). - security.md: SSH backend keys (TERMINAL_SSH_HOST/USER/KEY) live in .env, not config.yaml. - windows-wsl-quickstart.md: there is no 'hermes api' subcommand — the OpenAI-compatible API server runs inside hermes gateway. user-guide/features/ - computer-use.md: approvals.mode (not security.approval_level); fix broken ./browser-use.md link to ./browser.md. - fallback-providers.md: top-level fallback_providers (not model.fallback_providers); the picker is subcommand-based, not modal. - api-server.md: API_SERVER_* are env vars — write to per-profile .env, not 'hermes config set' which targets YAML. - web-search.md: drop web_crawl as a registered tool (it isn't); deep-crawl modes are exposed through web_extract. - kanban.md: failure_limit default is 2, not '~5'. - plugins.md: drop hard-coded '33 providers' count. - honcho.md: fix unclosed quote in echo HONCHO_API_KEY snippet; document that 'hermes honcho' subcommand is gated on memory.provider=honcho; reconcile subcommand list with actual --help output. - memory-providers.md: legacy 'hermes honcho setup' redirect documented. Verified via 'npm run build' — site builds cleanly; broken-link count went from 149 to 146 (no regressions, fixed a few in passing). * docs: round 2 audit fixes + regenerate skill catalogs Follow-up to the previous commit on this branch: Round 2 manual fixes: - quickstart.md: KIMI_CODING_API_KEY mentioned alongside KIMI_API_KEY; voice-mode and ACP install commands rewritten — bare 'pip install ...' doesn't work for curl-installed setups (no pip on PATH, not in repo dir); replaced with 'cd ~/.hermes/hermes-agent && uv pip install -e ".[voice]"'. ACP already ships in [all] so the curl install includes it. - cli.md / configuration.md: 'auxiliary.compression.model' shown as 'google/gemini-3-flash-preview' (the doc's own claimed default); actual default is empty (= use main model). Reworded as 'leave empty (default) or pin a cheap model'. - built-in-plugins.md: added the bundled 'kanban/dashboard' plugin row that was missing from the table. Regenerated skill catalogs: - ran website/scripts/generate-skill-docs.py to refresh all 163 per-skill pages and both reference catalogs (skills-catalog.md, optional-skills-catalog.md). This adds the entries that were genuinely missing — productivity/teams-meeting-pipeline (bundled), optional/finance/* (entire category — 7 skills: 3-statement-model, comps-analysis, dcf-model, excel-author, lbo-model, merger-model, pptx-author), creative/hyperframes, creative/kanban-video-orchestrator, devops/watchers, productivity/shop-app, research/searxng-search, apple/macos-computer-use — and rewrites every other per-skill page from the current SKILL.md. Most diffs are tiny (one line of refreshed metadata). Validation: - 'npm run build' succeeded. - Broken-link count moved 146 -> 155 — the +9 are zh-Hans translation shells that lag every newly-added skill page (pre-existing pattern). No regressions on any en/ page. |

docs(windows): label native Windows support as early beta (#22115)
Adds early-beta framing to every user-facing surface where native Windows is introduced — landing page install block, Installation page, Windows (Native) guide, contributor notes, and README. Sets expectations that the path installs and runs but hasn't been road-tested as broadly as POSIX, and points users who want maximum stability at WSL2 instead. Follow-up to #21561 (native Windows support) and #22089 (Windows docs). |

feat(windows-install): bundle portable MinGit instead of relying on winget
User hit a real failure case: their system Git was in a half-installed state
(can neither uninstall nor reinstall) and winget refused to work around it.
We were one step away from shipping an installer that would have left users
with exactly the problem he already had.
What other agents do (reality check):
- Claude Code: requires pre-installed Git; breaks if user doesn't have it.
- OpenCode, Codex: don't need bash at all — PowerShell-first design.
- Cline: uses whatever shell VSCode is configured with; installs nothing.
None of them solve the "broken system Git" problem. We need to own our Git.
Changes:
- scripts/install.ps1::Install-Git: dropped winget path entirely. Now:
(1) use existing git if present; (2) download portable MinGit from the
official git-for-windows GitHub release to %LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes\git.
No winget, no admin, no Windows installer registry, no system impact.
- Added %LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes\git\{cmd,usr\bin} to User PATH so git + bash
+ POSIX coreutils (which, env, grep, …) resolve in fresh shells.
- tools/environments/local.py::_find_bash: reorder so Hermes' portable
MinGit install is checked BEFORE falling through to shutil.which("bash")
or system install locations. This way a broken system Git can't
hijack the bash lookup.
- README + installation docs reworded to reflect the new story: "portable
Git Bash, isolated from any system install, recoverable via rm -rf if it
ever breaks."
Recoverability: if Hermes' Git install ever breaks, ``Remove-Item %LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes\git``
and re-run the installer — no system impact, no uninstall drama, no winget
to fight with.

feat(windows): close native-Windows install gaps — crash-free startup, UTF-8 stdio, tzdata dep, docs
Native Windows (with Git for Windows installed) can now run the Hermes CLI and gateway end-to-end without crashing. install.ps1 already existed and the Git Bash terminal backend was already wired up — this PR fills the remaining gaps discovered by auditing every Windows-unsafe primitive (`signal.SIGKILL`, `os.kill(pid, 0)` probes, bare `fcntl`/`termios` imports) and by comparing hermes against how Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex, and Cline handle native Windows. ## What changed ### UTF-8 stdio (new module) - `hermes_cli/stdio.py` — single `configure_windows_stdio()` entry point. Flips the console code page to CP_UTF8 (65001), reconfigures `sys.stdout`/`stderr`/`stdin` to UTF-8, sets `PYTHONIOENCODING` + `PYTHONUTF8` for subprocesses. No-op on non-Windows. Opt out via `HERMES_DISABLE_WINDOWS_UTF8=1`. - Called early in `cli.py::main`, `hermes_cli/main.py::main`, and `gateway/run.py::main` so Unicode banners (box-drawing, geometric symbols, non-Latin chat text) don't `UnicodeEncodeError` on cp1252 consoles. ### Crash sites fixed - `hermes_cli/main.py:7970` (hermes update → stuck gateway sweep): raw `os.kill(pid, _signal.SIGKILL)` → `gateway.status.terminate_pid(pid, force=True)` which routes through `taskkill /T /F` on Windows. - `hermes_cli/profiles.py::_stop_gateway_process`: same fix — also converted SIGTERM path to `terminate_pid()` and widened OSError catch on the intermediate `os.kill(pid, 0)` probe. - `hermes_cli/kanban_db.py:2914, 3041`: raw `signal.SIGKILL` → `getattr(signal, "SIGKILL", signal.SIGTERM)` fallback (matches the pattern already used in `gateway/status.py`). ### OSError widening on `os.kill(pid, 0)` probes Windows raises `OSError` (WinError 87) for a gone PID instead of `ProcessLookupError`. Widened the catch at: - `gateway/run.py:15101` (`--replace` wait-for-exit loop — without this, the loop busy-spins the full 10s every Windows gateway start) - `hermes_cli/gateway.py:228, 460, 940` - `hermes_cli/profiles.py:777` - `tools/process_registry.py::_is_host_pid_alive` - `tools/browser_tool.py:1170, 1206` ### Dashboard PTY graceful degradation `hermes_cli/pty_bridge.py` depends on `fcntl`/`termios`/`ptyprocess`, none of which exist on native Windows. Previously a Windows dashboard would crash on `import hermes_cli.web_server` because of a top-level import. Now: - `hermes_cli/web_server.py` wraps the pty_bridge import in `try/except ImportError` and sets `_PTY_BRIDGE_AVAILABLE=False`. - The `/api/pty` WebSocket handler returns a friendly "use WSL2 for this tab" message instead of exploding. - Every other dashboard feature (sessions, jobs, metrics, config editor) runs natively on Windows. ### Dependency - `pyproject.toml`: add `tzdata>=2023.3; sys_platform == 'win32'` so Python's `zoneinfo` works on Windows (which has no IANA tzdata shipped with the OS). Credits @sprmn24 (PR #13182). ### Docs - README.md: removed "Native Windows is not supported"; added PowerShell one-liner and Git-for-Windows prerequisite note. - `website/docs/getting-started/installation.md`: new Windows section with capability matrix (everything native except the dashboard `/chat` PTY tab, which is WSL2-only). - `website/docs/user-guide/windows-wsl-quickstart.md`: reframed as "WSL2 as an alternative to native" rather than "the only way". - `website/docs/developer-guide/contributing.md`: updated cross-platform guidance with the `signal.SIGKILL` / `OSError` rules we enforce now. - `website/docs/user-guide/features/web-dashboard.md`: acknowledged native Windows works for everything except the embedded PTY pane. ## Why this shape Pulled from a survey of how other agent codebases handle native Windows (Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex, Cline): - All four treat Git Bash as the canonical shell on Windows, same as hermes already does in `tools/environments/local.py::_find_bash()`. - None of them force `SetConsoleOutputCP` — but they don't have to, Node/Rust write UTF-16 to the Win32 console API. Python does not get that for free, so we flip CP_UTF8 via ctypes. - None of them ship PowerShell-as-primary-shell (Claude Code exposes PS as a secondary tool; scope creep for this PR). - All of them use `taskkill /T /F` for force-kill on Windows, which is exactly what `gateway.status.terminate_pid(force=True)` does. ## Non-goals (deliberate scope limits) - No PowerShell-as-a-second-shell tool — worth designing separately. - No terminal routing rewrite (#12317, #15461, #19800 cluster) — that's the hardest design call and needs a separate doc. - No wholesale `open()` → `open(..., encoding="utf-8")` sweep (Tianworld cluster) — will do as follow-up if users hit actual breakage; most modern code already specifies it. ## Validation - 28 new tests in `tests/tools/test_windows_native_support.py` — all platform-mocked, pass on Linux CI. Cover: - `configure_windows_stdio` idempotency, opt-out, env-preservation - `terminate_pid` taskkill routing, failure → OSError, FileNotFoundError fallback - `getattr(signal, "SIGKILL", …)` fallback shape - `_is_host_pid_alive` OSError widening (Windows-gone-PID behavior) - Source-level checks that all entry points call `configure_windows_stdio` - pty_bridge import-guard present in `web_server.py` - README no longer says "not supported" - 12 pre-existing tests in `tests/tools/test_windows_compat.py` still pass. - `tests/hermes_cli/` ran fully (3909 passed, 9 failures — all confirmed pre-existing on main by stash-test). - `tests/gateway/` ran fully (5021 passed, 1 pre-existing failure). - `tests/tools/test_process_registry.py` + `test_browser_*` pass. - Manual smoke: `import hermes_cli.stdio; import gateway.run; import hermes_cli.web_server` — all clean, `_PTY_BRIDGE_AVAILABLE=True` on Linux (as expected). ## Files - New: `hermes_cli/stdio.py`, `tests/tools/test_windows_native_support.py` - Modified: `cli.py`, `gateway/run.py`, `hermes_cli/main.py`, `hermes_cli/profiles.py`, `hermes_cli/gateway.py`, `hermes_cli/kanban_db.py`, `hermes_cli/pty_bridge.py`, `hermes_cli/web_server.py`, `tools/browser_tool.py`, `tools/process_registry.py`, `pyproject.toml`, `README.md`, and 4 docs pages. Credits to everyone whose prior PR work informed these fixes — see the co-author trailers. All of the PRs listed in `~/.hermes/plans/windows-support-prs.md` fixing `os.kill` / `signal.SIGKILL` / UTF-8 stdio / tzdata / README patterns found the same issues; this PR consolidates them.

docs: two-week gap sweep — platforms, CLI, config, TUI, hooks, providers (#17727)
Covers ~60 merged PRs from Apr 15–29 that shipped user-visible behavior without docs coverage. No functional code changes; docs + static manifest regeneration only. Highlights: Stale / incorrect: - configuration.md: auxiliary auto-routing line was wrong since #11900; now correctly states auto routes to the main model, with a note on the cost trade-off and per-task override pattern. - integrations/providers.md + configuration.md compression intro: removed stale 'Gemini Flash via OpenRouter' claim. - website/static/api/model-catalog.json: rebuilt from hermes_cli/models.py so the live manifest picks up tencent/hy3-preview (and remains in sync for future model-catalog PRs). Platform messaging (#17417 #16997 #16193 #14315 #13151 #11794 #10610 #10283 #10246 #11564 #13178): - Signal: native formatting (bodyRanges), reply quotes, reactions. - Telegram: table rendering (bullets + code-block fallback), disable_link_previews, group_allowed_chats. - Slack: strict_mention config. - Discord: slash_commands disable, send_animation GIF, send_message native media attachments. - DingTalk: require_mention + allowed_users. CLI (#16052 #16539 #16566 #15841 #14798 #10043): - New 'hermes fallback' interactive manager. - New 'hermes update --check', '--backup' flag, and pre-update pairing snapshot behavior. - 'hermes gateway start/restart --all' multi-profile flag. - cron.md: 'hermes tools' as a platform, per-job enabled_toolsets, wakeAgent gate, context_from chaining. Config keys / env vars (#17305 #17026 #17000 #15077 #14557 #14227 #14166 #14730 #17008): - terminal.docker_run_as_host_user, display.runtime_metadata_footer, compression.hygiene_hard_message_limit, HINDSIGHT_TIMEOUT, skills.guard_agent_created, TAVILY_BASE_URL, security.allow_private_urls, agent.api_max_retries, gateway hot-reload of compression/context_length config edits. TUI / CLI UX (#17130 #17113 #17175 #17150 #16707 #12312 #12305 #12934 #14810 #14045 #17286 #17126): - HERMES_TUI_RESUME, HERMES_TUI_THEME, LaTeX rendering, busy-indicator styles, ctrl-x queued-message delete, git branch in status bar, per- prompt elapsed stopwatch, external-editor keybind, markdown stripping, TUI voice-mode parity, /agents overlay, /reload + /mouse.

docs: add PR review guides, rework quickstart, slim down installation
Adds two complementary GitHub PR review guides from contest submissions: - Cron-based PR review agent (from PR #5836 by @dieutx) — polls on a schedule, no server needed, teaches skills + memory authoring - Webhook-based PR review (from PR #6503 by @gaijinkush) — real-time via GitHub webhooks, documents previously undocumented webhook feature Both guides are cross-linked so users can pick the approach that fits. Reworks quickstart.md by integrating the best content from PR #5744 by @aidil2105: - Opinionated decision table ('The fastest path') - Common failure modes table with causes and fixes - Recovery toolkit sequence - Session lifecycle verification step - Better first-chat guidance with example prompts Slims down installation.md: - Removes 10-step manual/dev install section (already covered in developer-guide/contributing.md) - Links to Contributing guide for dev setup - Keeps focused on the automated installer + prerequisites + troubleshooting |

feat: nix flake — uv2nix build, NixOS module, persistent container mode (#20)
* feat: nix flake, uv2nix build, dev shell and home manager * fixed nix run, updated docs for setup * feat(nix): NixOS module with persistent container mode, managed guards, checks - Replace homeModules.nix with nixosModules.nix (two deployment modes) - Mode A (native): hardened systemd service with ProtectSystem=strict - Mode B (container): persistent Ubuntu container with /nix/store bind-mount, identity-hash-based recreation, GC root protection, symlink-based updates - Add HERMES_MANAGED guards blocking CLI config mutation (config set, setup, gateway install/uninstall) when running under NixOS module - Add nix/checks.nix with build-time verification (binary, CLI, managed guard) - Remove container.nix (no Nix-built OCI image; pulls ubuntu:24.04 at runtime) - Simplify packages.nix (drop fetchFromGitHub submodules, PYTHONPATH wrappers) - Rewrite docs/nixos-setup.md with full options reference, container architecture, secrets management, and troubleshooting guide Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * Update config.py * feat(nix): add CI workflow and enhanced build checks - GitHub Actions workflow for nix flake check + build on linux/macOS - Entry point sync check to catch pyproject.toml drift - Expanded managed-guard check to cover config edit - Wrap hermes-acp binary in Nix package - Fix Path type mismatch in is_managed() * Update MCP server package name; bundled skills support * fix reading .env. instead have container user a common mounted .env file * feat(nix): container entrypoint with privilege drop and sudo provisioning Container was running as non-root via --user, which broke apt/pip installs and caused crashes when $HOME didn't exist. Replace --user with a Nix-built entrypoint script that provisions the hermes user, sudo (NOPASSWD), and /home/hermes inside the container on first boot, then drops privileges via setpriv. Writable layer persists so setup only runs once. Also expands MCP server options to support HTTP transport and sampling. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix group and user creation in container mode * feat(nix): persistent /home/hermes and MESSAGING_CWD in container mode Container mode now bind-mounts ${stateDir}/home to /home/hermes so the agent's home directory survives container recreation. Previously it lived in the writable layer and was lost on image/volume/options changes. Also passes MESSAGING_CWD to the container so the agent finds its workspace and documents, matching native mode behavior. Other changes: - Extract containerDataDir/containerHomeDir bindings (no more magic strings) - Fix entrypoint chown to run unconditionally (volume mounts always exist) - Add schema field to container identity hash for auto-recreation - Add idempotency test (Scenario G) to config-roundtrip check * docs: add Nix & NixOS setup guide to docs site Add comprehensive Nix documentation to the Docusaurus site at website/docs/getting-started/nix-setup.md, covering nix run/profile install, NixOS module (native + container modes), declarative settings, secrets management, MCP servers, managed mode, container architecture, dev shell, flake checks, and full options reference. - Register nix-setup in sidebar after installation page - Add Nix callout tip to installation.md linking to new guide - Add canonical version pointer in docs/nixos-setup.md * docs: remove docs/nixos-setup.md, consolidate into website docs Backfill missing details (restart/restartSec in full example, gateway.pid, 0750 permissions, docker inspect commands) into the canonical website/docs/getting-started/nix-setup.md and delete the old standalone file. * fix(nix): add compression.protect_last_n and target_ratio to config-keys.json New keys were added to DEFAULT_CONFIG on main, causing the config-drift check to fail in CI. * fix(nix): skip checks on aarch64-darwin (onnxruntime wheel missing) The full Python venv includes onnxruntime (via faster-whisper/STT) which lacks a compatible uv2nix wheel on aarch64-darwin. Gate all checks behind stdenv.hostPlatform.isLinux. The package and devShell still evaluate on macOS. * fix(nix): skip flake check and build on macOS CI onnxruntime (transitive dep via faster-whisper) lacks a compatible uv2nix wheel on aarch64-darwin. Run full checks and build on Linux only; macOS CI verifies the flake evaluates without building. * fix(nix): preserve container writable layer across nixos-rebuild The container identity hash included the entrypoint's Nix store path, which changes on every nixpkgs update (due to runtimeShell/stdenv input-addressing). This caused false-positive identity mismatches, triggering container recreation and losing the persistent writable layer. - Use stable symlink (current-entrypoint) like current-package already does - Remove entrypoint from identity hash (only image/volumes/options matter) - Add GC root for entrypoint so nix-collect-garbage doesn't break it - Remove global HERMES_HOME env var from addToSystemPackages (conflicted with interactive CLI use, service already sets its own) --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

docs: remove hermes setup from install flow, point to hermes model/tools instead
The installer already handles full setup (provider config, etc.), so telling users to run 'hermes setup' post-install is redundant and confusing. Updated all docs to reflect the correct flow: 1. Run the installer (handles everything including provider setup) 2. Use 'hermes model', 'hermes tools', 'hermes gateway setup' to reconfigure individual settings later Files updated: - README.md: removed setup from quick install & getting started - installation.md: updated post-install, manual step 9, troubleshooting - quickstart.md: updated provider section & quick reference table - cli-commands.md: updated hermes setup description - faq.md: replaced hermes setup references with specific commands |

fix: allow self-hosted Firecrawl without API key + add self-hosting docs
On top of PR #460: self-hosted Firecrawl instances don't require an API key (USE_DB_AUTHENTICATION=false), so don't force users to set a dummy FIRECRAWL_API_KEY when FIRECRAWL_API_URL is set. Also adds a proper self-hosting section to the configuration docs explaining what you get, what you lose, and how to set it up (Docker stack, tradeoffs vs cloud). Added 2 more tests (URL-only without key, neither-set raises). |
