Next to macOS 26's own icons the flat plate + girl reads better than the
ringed tile, so the ring is off in every output: the tiles' inward stroke,
the layered icon's border layer and its targets. BORDER_ENABLED keeps the
ring code one flag away.
Without a ring the girl's lowest nodes are dragged past the tile edge
(EDGE_OVERSHOOT) so the outline crops her instead of leaving a gap.
Clear light/dark and Tinted light/dark now come from one grayscale mono
layer with Liquid Glass on: the parts of the girl that are black in light
mode become a near-black frosted ink (0.13 @ 90%), her white parts stay
white, each pixel painted exactly once so materials never stack. The art
layer hides under "tinted" and the mono layer shows only there.
Mac girl at 1.06x (between main's 1.12x and the layers' 1.0x), for the icns
and the layered icon alike. Chosen from a six-appearance matrix of real
IconServices renders next to Finder.
Space Bunny Alpha is a live $0 stealth SKU on OpenRouter (tool support, 1M
context, image/video input) that the picker never offered: the OpenRouter row
is the curated manifest intersected with the live catalog, and the id was not
in the curated list, so the live entry was filtered out.
- models_catalog_static.py: id + "free, stealth model" description, and
membership in _OPENROUTER_ONLY (stealth SKU without the :free suffix, not
carried by Nous Portal)
- website/static/api/model-catalog.json: regenerated
(scripts/build_model_catalog.py, 63 -> 64 OpenRouter entries)
Fixes#122075
OpenAI released GPT-6.1 Sol on 2026-09-29. It is live on OpenRouter
(openai/gpt-6.1-sol, -pro) and the direct API; not yet on Nous Portal
or on Codex OAuth for our test account.
- Catalog: OPENROUTER_MODELS + openai-api picker; kept off the nous
list via _OPENROUTER_ONLY until the Portal serves it. Manifest regenerated.
- Context: 1.05M direct API, 272K Codex fallback; 272K compaction
auto-raise on the Codex route.
- Pricing: $2/$10, cached input $0.10 (5%, not 6 Sol's 10%), cache write
$2.50, 2x/1.5x above 272K; -pro aliased to the base row.
- Reasoning: none/minimal return 400 on 6.1 Sol (unlike 6 Sol), so it uses
Astra's low..max ladder without Astra's account gating. OpenRouter's
catalog wrongly lists 'none' for it, so the OpenRouter profile omits a
disable when the OpenAI ladder has no 'none'.
Anthropic released Claude Sonnet 5.5 on 2026-09-28. Both the OpenRouter catalog
and the Nous Portal /v1/models endpoint serve it (verified live: Portal returned
200 with reasoning off and on, and OpenRouter's models API lists and prices it).
- hermes_cli/models_catalog_static.py: sonnet-5.5 in OPENROUTER_MODELS, directly
above sonnet-5. The nous list is derived from the OpenRouter tuple, so the
Portal picker picks it up from the same edit.
- website/static/api/model-catalog.json: regenerated via
scripts/build_model_catalog.py.
Provider-agnostic metadata already resolves for the new slug, so no edits are
needed. The DEFAULT_CONTEXT_LENGTHS key claude-sonnet-5 substring-matches to
1,000,000, and the claude-sonnet-5 reasoning-timeout prefix matches through the
"." separator to the 180s floor. Both routes bill via official_models_api live
pricing ($2/$10, same as Sonnet 5), so there is no _OFFICIAL_DOCS_PRICING
snapshot entry.
User installs failed with 'resvg-py is missing' because the web/desktop
source builds rendered icons on whatever python was on PATH. The default
brand outputs are now committed; source_build, apps/desktop build.mjs and
the npm/docusaurus pre-hooks consume them directly. Flavored release
bundles (canary/commit) still render into their own product dir.
icons-freshness-check now regenerates and fails on any byte diff.
#119410 registered gpt-6-terra alongside sol and luna from the request text, and the Codex
forward-compat synthesis put it (and -900k) in the live /model picker on every surface.
Nothing serves it: not the Codex account catalog (astra, sol, luna), not OpenRouter (same
three, plus -pro), and OpenAI's model page 404s. Forward-compat is for published tiers the
account catalog has not listed yet, not for guessed names. Removed from the Codex fallback
list and template chain, the context/900k tables, the effort ladder prefixes, the aux-client
family list, and the Nous/OpenRouter static catalogs; catalog JSON regenerated. A contract
test pins the synthesized GPT-6 set to the published tiers.
OpenAI shipped gpt-6-sol / gpt-6-terra / gpt-6-luna as the successors of the
gpt-5.6 tier line (Sol and Luna live on OpenRouter + the Nous Portal today).
The curated aggregator catalogs (OPENROUTER_MODELS and the derived nous list,
plus the published website model-catalog.json) now carry the gpt-6 tiers and
their -pro variants instead of the 5.6 ones; the openai-api curated fallback
lists them ahead of 5.6.
Codex OAuth support mirrors the 5.6 + Astra contract for every gpt-6 tier:
curated fallback + forward-compat synthesis (from the 5.6 twin or 5.5),
272K advertised fallback, the opt-in -900k picker variants with the
live-verified 900K bump (still capped by the catalog's max_context_window),
dated-snapshot eligibility, wire-suffix stripping, the compaction auto-raise
on the base slug, and the gpt-5.6 effort ladder (max allowed, minimal
rejected). Pricing rows for gpt-6-sol / gpt-6-luna come from OpenAI's model
pages (272K whole-request tier like Astra); Terra has no published page yet
so it deliberately has none.
/model gpt keeps resolving to the flagship: "astra" joins the rank-0 suffix
set so gpt-6-astra sorts above gpt-6-sol.
Anthropic released Claude Opus 5.5. Both the OpenRouter catalog and the
Nous Portal /v1/models endpoint serve it (verified with a live max_tokens=16
completion on each route — echoed model matches, usage.cost billed).
- hermes_cli/models_catalog_static.py: opus-5.5 in OPENROUTER_MODELS, above
opus-5 and below the fable-5 flagship pair. The nous list is derived from
the OpenRouter tuple, so the Portal picker picks it up from the same edit.
- website/static/api/model-catalog.json: regenerated via
scripts/build_model_catalog.py.
Provider-agnostic metadata already resolves for the new slug — no edits
needed: DEFAULT_CONTEXT_LENGTHS key claude-opus-5 substring-matches to
1,000,000 (matches live OpenRouter metadata), and the claude-opus-5
reasoning-timeout prefix matches through the "." separator to the 240s
floor. Both routes bill via official_models_api live pricing, so no
_OFFICIAL_DOCS_PRICING snapshot entry.
Conflicts, all inside the local-runtime / local-models subsystem:
- hermes_cli/local_runtime/binaries.py, hermes_cli/web_routers/local_models.py:
main's own transfer machinery (urllib ranged download, shutil.move publish) is
retired here — pm/downloader owns every fetch. Took ours.
- tests/hermes_cli/test_local_runtime_downloads.py: deleted here (its subject,
binaries._download, is gone); kept deleted.
- tests/hermes_cli/test_local_models_routes.py: ours (the pause/resume suite) plus
main's held-finished-file contract, re-seamed onto the pm downloader.
main's fix 515412f415 ("wait out a held finished download instead of copying it and
failing") is re-homed so it fits the PM model: the Windows rename that fails while an
antivirus or indexing scan still holds a just-closed multi-gigabyte file is now handled
once, in pm/downloader.replace_when_released, which is the single publish path for PM
archives and model files alike. A cleanup that cannot remove its leftover can no longer
mask the error that left it.
Tests: helper retries a transient refusal and lands the file; gives up with the
plain-language message chained to the OS error; a download publishes through two refused
renames with nothing left behind; a stuck hold reports the rename error, not the failed
cleanup. Route-level: the job lands the file and reports done.
a1b1817adf added grok-4.7 to the generated website/static/api/model-catalog.json
by hand without adding it to _PROVIDER_MODELS["nous"], so
tests/hermes_cli/test_model_catalog.py::test_in_repo_lists_match_manifest has been
red on main since. Pin the id first in the nous list (the manifest already had it
first) and regenerate the manifest with scripts/build_model_catalog.py.
Branch semantics kept where main and PM disagree: update_cmd_deps.py,
constraints-termux.txt, the Electron update-api-check module and the
post-swap hand-off test stay deleted; the pending-fleet-restart catch-up
and the local_runtime tag/download ladder stay retired (PM owns engines).
Ported from main onto the branch's shape: profile_scoped_chore for the
auto-archive and plugin-update housekeeping chores, the local-runtime
cross-process boot lock and residency cap, the checkpoint tmp_pack sweep,
the cua daemon-liveness status probe, the remote-served Desktop update
flag (posix.sh / windows.ps1), sign-in for env-pinned remote gateways
(urlDisabled on RemoteSetupFields), the uvloop extra split (uvicorn
without [standard]), and the umask-scoping spawn test.
uv.lock regenerated with pm.build_env --lock-only; new utf-8 reads from
main switched to utf-8-sig (check-windows-footguns).
Both routes serve the slug (tools supported, 1,048,576 context, $0.37/$1.25 per M).
The Nous list is derived from OPENROUTER_MODELS so one tuple edit covers both; the docs
manifest is regenerated in the same commit.
DEFAULT_CONTEXT_LENGTHS gets its own key: substring matching would otherwise land the
slug on the glm-5.3-flash entry (1,310,720) and overstate the window by 25%.
Reconcile plugin declarations and validation through PM's atomic generation publication; preserve external runtimes, target markers, and conflict refusal. Keep one source-update completion owner and port upstream lifecycle changes to the PM desktop/runtime paths.
Union Alpha is OpenRouter's new $0 stealth model (262,144 ctx, tools +
tool_choice supported, text+image in). It carries no ":free" suffix, so it
needs an explicit "free, stealth model" description and an _OPENROUTER_ONLY
entry to keep it out of the derived Nous Portal list, plus a "union-alpha"
DEFAULT_CONTEXT_LENGTHS key so the offline resolver returns 262144 instead
of the 256K catch-all. Docs manifest regenerated in the same commit.
Live gate: max_tokens=64 tool-calling completion on origin/main key returned
200, echoed model stealth/union-alpha, usage.cost=0, finish_reason=tool_calls.
Review finding on #109142: the JS bridge's DEFAULT_REPLY_PREFIX (the sender
actually used at runtime), scripts/install.sh, setup-hermes.sh and the site
favicon still carried the old glyph. Python and JS defaults now agree.
Add deepseek/deepseek-v4.1-flash to OPENROUTER_MODELS (Nous list derives from it),
regenerate the docs manifest, and give the slug its own 1M context entry and 600s
reasoning-stale floor — the longest-key-first scan otherwise lands the new slug on
the 128K `deepseek` catch-all and no floor. Live probed on both routes: echoed
model matches, usage.cost billed.
- website wordmarks (logo.png/logo-dark.png) drop the black/white frame:
the girl alone on transparency, black for light navbar / white for dark
(docusaurus srcDark stays)
- BrandMark marks are now the app-icon squircle itself (transparent
corners, 824px safe-zone composition) instead of plain tiles; the
components no longer paint a tile/rounding
- generated icon outputs are NOT committed anymore: all 35 targets are
gitignored and regenerated on demand by the consuming pipelines via the
new scripts/generate-icons.mjs (website prebuild, desktop prebuild+dev,
installer prebuild, web prebuild)
- freshness lane switched from byte-compare to structural verification
(sizes, squircle corner transparency, ICO frame sets via header parse) —
no more windows/ubuntu byte drift dance
- marks saved as 8-bit palette PNGs (FASTOCTREE quantize keeps per-index
alpha tRNS -> 2.5KB, AA edges preserved); compose_svg renders in the
background's native space so resvg scales per output size
Refresh the 35 generated targets from the ubuntu freshness lane (the
windows regen compresses PNG differently per host zlib; CI checks
against linux bytes). Girl marks + masters are host-stable (stored
deflate blocks / plain text). Removes the temporary artifact-harvest
step now that the committed set matches the check lane.
The icon pipeline now composes all 35 targets from two source axes instead
of a single hand-edited master:
- girl art: assets/nous-girl-black.svg / nous-girl-white.svg (brand kit)
- backgrounds: assets/backgrounds/ (squircle light/dark, logo frames,
BrandMark tiles)
assets/icon-master*.svg are generated artifacts (squircle background + girl
nested in the 824px HIG content safe zone). New dark-appearance artifacts
(icon-dark.* containers, appx *-dark logos, logo-dark wordmark,
nous-logo-dark) land everywhere a surface consumes them: docusaurus navbar
srcDark, BrandMark dark tile (keyed off renderedMode).
nous-girl.jpg jpgs are replaced by lossless 8-bit palette PNGs saved with
compress_level=0 (stored deflate blocks, byte-identical across hosts for
the CI freshness lane).
Includes the temp linux-truth harvest step in icons-freshness-check.yml so
the committed compressed bytes can be refreshed from the ubuntu regen.
Merge upstream 5e645791ac.
Retain the PM feature-flag owner and add upstream connection options.
Use the deny-only window-open policy while trusted external links keep
the existing IPC path. Keep both session-import and external-link copy.
Preserve captured timeout output when adding terminal yield handoff.
Quickstart tests patch the explicit upstream model-assignment owner.
Migrate incoming legacy OS markers to the branch's platforms gate.
Desktop renderer and Electron typechecks passed. Targeted Electron tests
passed (42 tests), Python conflict checks passed (26 tests, 3 skips),
and the plugin-compat import checker passed. CI owns the broad merge gate.
The bare deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash slug is the pre-snapshot release; both
aggregators now carry deepseek-v4-flash-0731 (and Nous exposes the rolling
~deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash-latest alias). Keeping both rows in the curated
picker just duplicates the flash tier.
- OPENROUTER_MODELS (derives the nous list): drop deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash
- model-catalog.json regenerated
Deliberately KEPT: alibaba-token-plan / opencode-go / commandcode / deepseek
direct plugin fallback_models + default_aux_model (bare id is the wire slug
those providers serve), DEFAULT_CONTEXT_LENGTHS / reasoning floor / pricing
snapshot entries (manually-typed id still behaves), and the
deepseek-chat/deepseek-reasoner -> deepseek-v4-flash alias normalization.
Alibaba shipped qwen3.8-max-0902 (alias qwen3.8-max-2026-09-02), the upgraded
snapshot of Qwen3.8-Max: 1M context / 131K output, $2 in / $6 out. Both
aggregators now serve it and dropped the bare slug from their catalogs
(verified 2026-09-02: OpenRouter /v1/models + a 200 completion echoing the
slug; Nous Portal /v1/models).
- OPENROUTER_MODELS (feeds the nous list too): qwen/qwen3.8-max -> qwen/qwen3.8-max-0902
- _ALIBABA_TOKEN_PLAN_MODELS: qwen3.8-max-preview -> qwen3.8-max-0902
- test_empty_model_fallback fixture follows the nous catalog slug
- model-catalog.json regenerated
No new metadata: DEFAULT_CONTEXT_LENGTHS substring-matches qwen3.8-max (1M),
reasoning floor prefix fires (180s), both aggregator routes bill via
official_models_api. alibaba/alibaba-cn/opencode-go/setup.py left unchanged
(out of scope).
Six slugs land in the nous and openrouter curated lists, above the gpt-5.6 line:
openai/gpt-6-astra{,-fast,-flex} and openai/gpt-6-astra-pro{,-fast,-flex}.
Nous Portal serves the tiers as distinct slugs (verified live: each echoes its id, service_tier
default/priority/flex, cost 1x/2x/0.5x). OpenRouter serves them as ENDPOINTS of the base model
(tags openai/fast, openai/flex) and silently routes an unknown suffix to the standard tier at
standard price, so the OpenRouter profile rewrites a tier slug to its base wire model and pins
provider.only to that tier's endpoints (OPENROUTER_ENDPOINT_PINS). The base slug is pinned to
openai/azure/azure-us so default routing never lands on a flex or fast endpoint.
Provider-agnostic metadata: one DEFAULT_CONTEXT_LENGTHS entry (gpt-6-astra: 1,050,000, live on
OpenRouter for both models; substring-matches -pro and the tier suffixes). Pricing is skipped:
both routes bill via official_models_api. Reasoning floor not added (no evidence of long thinks).
resvg-py 0.4.0 rasterizes identically per-host but the committed set was
generated on Windows (22440-byte icon.png) while the freshness lane runs
on linux (24200). Harvested linux regeneration via a temp artifact step,
committed it (all 23 targets now match linux output), reverted the temp.
generate_icons.py --check was RED on 23 targets — committed files
diverged from icon-master.svg output (large stale binaries: logo.png
1.3MB→60KB, icon.icns 1.5MB→94KB). Regenerated via the single-master
pipeline; --check now passes. Also gates the icons-freshness-check CI
lane that ci.yaml calls.
Add meta/muse-spark-1.3 and meta/muse-spark-1.3-contributor to the
OpenRouter curated list, the meta-ai provider fallback, the
opencode-zen / opencode-free / opencode-go floors, the setup-wizard
shortlist, and regenerate the hosted model catalog.
Slots above gemini-3.7-flash (kept) in OPENROUTER_MODELS and
_PROVIDER_MODELS["nous"]; openrouter plugin fallback_models bumped
3.7 -> 3.8; model-catalog.json regenerated.
Verified live with test completions on both Nous Portal and OpenRouter
(model echo + billed). Same 1,048,576 window / 65,536 output / pricing
as 3.7-flash, so provider-agnostic metadata resolves via the existing
gemini entries and both routes bill live (official_models_api) — no
pricing snapshot needed.
Scoped to the two named providers: vertex/gemini/kilocode/gmi curated
lists, setup.py samples, and aux defaults untouched.
Curated picker lists (OPENROUTER_MODELS + _PROVIDER_MODELS['nous']) gain
claude-fable-5.1 above claude-fable-5 per newest-first ordering; manifest
regenerated via scripts/build_model_catalog.py.
Provider-agnostic metadata verified as already resolving for the 5.1 slug
(no new entries needed): DEFAULT_CONTEXT_LENGTHS fuzzy-matches the
claude-fable-5 prefix (1,000,000), reasoning stale-timeout floor fires
(600s), and both routes bill via official_models_api (live pricing, no
snapshot entry required).
Live on both providers (verified 2026-08-28 against openrouter.ai/api/v1/models
and inference-api.nousresearch.com/v1/models) but absent from both curated
picker lists. Adds the entry directly below qwen3.8-max per newest-first
family ordering, an explicit 1M DEFAULT_CONTEXT_LENGTHS entry (new family
slug would otherwise fall through to the generic qwen 131072 catch-all —
same class as #69881), and regenerates model-catalog.json.
Scoped rollout: only the named providers touched. Pricing snapshot skipped
(both routes bill via official_models_api live pricing). Reasoning floor
already fires via the qwen3 prefix entry (180s, verified).
Live /api/v1/models probe (2026-08-27) confirms the id is gone from the
catalog, so the curated picker entry was a dead pick. Manifest
regenerated. No provider-agnostic metadata existed for the slug.
Delist credit: @orouge97 flagged this in PR #80036.
- move minimax/minimax-m3:free into the Free tier section (house
convention: :free SKUs group together, matching glm-5.2:free and the
nemotron :free entries) and regenerate model-catalog.json
- add Inkling family context length (1,048,576 — OpenRouter live
metadata, 2026-08-27) to DEFAULT_CONTEXT_LENGTHS; new family slug
otherwise fell through to no entry
- add Inkling to the reasoning stale-timeout floor table (300s tier,
same as Grok reasoning / Ox Alpha; OpenRouter marks the family as
reasoning-capable)
- widen the floor matcher's right-anchor separator class to include
':' so OpenRouter SKU suffixes (:free/:batch/:nitro) inherit the
family floor — inkling:free previously missed the inkling entry
- regression tests for the inkling floor + ':' separator
