Force same-session external refreshes to dismiss stale approval and clarification prompts immediately so completed state.db updates do not leave the composer blocked.
When API server runs append messages directly to state.db, reconcile WebUI sidecar sessions with those canonical rows across API responses, model-facing streaming context, and active browser refresh.
Add append-only state.db merge helpers, metadata-only counts for refresh polling, and regression coverage for API visibility, context incorporation, and frontend refresh behavior.
Adds a "Download Folder" item to the workspace file-tree right-click
menu and a GET /api/folder/download endpoint that streams the
directory as a zip with Content-Disposition: attachment.
Configurable caps:
HERMES_WEBUI_FOLDER_ZIP_MAX_MB (default 1024)
HERMES_WEBUI_FOLDER_ZIP_MAX_FILES (default 50000)
Pre-flights the walk so cap-exceeded returns 413 + JSON BEFORE any
zip bytes are sent. Symlinks resolving outside the workspace are
skipped. Mirrors the existing _handle_file_raw shape (session_id
resolution, safe_resolve, RFC 5987 filename via
_content_disposition_value). Stdlib zipfile only; no new dependencies.
Tests: 11 static-inspection tests matching the style of
tests/test_issue1867_upload_size_preflight.py. All passing on
Python 3.11/3.12/3.13.
When an anonymous custom endpoint (bare base_url, not a named custom_providers[] entry) fails its /v1/models probe, the provider group was silently dropped from the model picker entirely. This made the endpoint unusable even when /v1/chat/completions would work fine.
The fix adds an elif branch: if pid == 'custom', a cfg_base_url is configured, but no models were returned by the probe, the group is still added with an empty model list. Users can then select the Custom group and type a model ID manually in the picker's free-form input.
Closes#2542.
handle_upload_extract() used Path(s.workspace) as the extraction root,
bypassing HERMES_WEBUI_ATTACHMENT_DIR entirely. Route through
_session_attachment_dir(session_id) so archives land alongside
single-file uploads and session cleanup covers them.
Add tests and CHANGELOG entry.
Ref #2247
PR #2294 added the show_previous_messaging_sessions setting and a "Hide
from list" menu action for external sessions, but tripped 8 tests:
- 4 locale-parity tests (tests/test_{japanese,russian,spanish,chinese}_locale.py)
demand every en key be defined in ja/ru/es/zh blocks. The contributor
only added the 5 new keys to en + ko, leaving ja/ru/es/zh/it/de/zh-TW/pt/fr
missing them. tests/test_provider_quota_status.py also requires the two
settings_{label,desc}_previous_messaging_sessions keys in ALL 11 locales.
- tests/test_1466_sidebar_cancel_clarify.py read the first 5200 chars of
_openSessionActionMenu to find cancelSessionStream/delete actions; the
new "Hide from list" branch (17 lines for external sessions) pushed
those past the read window.
- tests/test_issue1611_session_profile_filtering.py grep'd for the
literal string `_keep_latest_messaging_session_per_source(scoped)`,
which no longer exists after the call was rewritten as a multi-line
keyword-arg form.
Fixes:
1. Translations for the 5 new i18n keys added to all 9 missing locales
(it, ja, ru, es, de, zh-CN, zh-TW, pt, fr):
- session_hide_external
- session_hide_external_desc
- session_hidden
- settings_label_previous_messaging_sessions
- settings_desc_previous_messaging_sessions
Where the locale already used the English fallback for related keys
(ru/es/de session_archive), I provided localized translations for the
new keys to match the project's general direction. Native-script
quality, not machine-translation.
2. test_1466 window bumped 5200 → 6400 with a comment explaining the
bump (mirrors the existing 3200→4400→5200 history annotations).
3. test_1611 dedupe-position check loosened to match the function name
without the `(scoped)` suffix so it tolerates both single-line and
keyword-arg call shapes.
Tests: full suite 5828 passed / 63 skipped / 0 failed (was 8 failed).
Behavioral harness verifies the toggle's claimed behavior — off (default)
hides reset/compression segments, on shows all rows in timestamp order.

Two non-blocking observations from the review, both addressed:
1. The bad-pattern grep listed `error_exit` as a literal token, but the
`error_exit()` function at docker_init.bash:5-10 only echoes the
strings `"!! ERROR: "` and `"!! Exiting script (ID: $$)"` — the
function name itself never appears in container logs. So
`grep -E -i "error_exit"` would only fire on stray debug prints of
the name, not on actual failures. The other patterns
(`Failed to set (UID|GID|...)`, `groupmod: cannot`, etc.) DO catch
real error_exit output, so this wasn't a coverage gap — just a dead
token.
Add `!! ERROR` and `!! Exiting script` to the bad-pattern set so the
grep actually matches the function's output. Keep the literal
`error_exit` token as belt-and-suspenders for any debug/echo of the
name.
2. `test_docker_init_excludes_egg_info_during_staging` was a single
`assert "egg-info" in src` check. That passes if any occurrence
appears — including the explanatory comment block above the staging
logic. A maintainer removing the `--exclude='*.egg-info'` from
rsync but keeping the comment would slip past the test.
Tighten to:
- scope to the staging block (between `_stage_src=` and the
`uv pip install` line) so comments outside that window can't
satisfy the assertion;
- require the literal `--exclude='*.egg-info'` rsync flag;
- require `*.egg-info` in the block so the cp-fallback cleanup is
also pinned;
- additionally require `--exclude='build'`, `--exclude='dist'`,
`--exclude='__pycache__'` so all four setuptools-touchable
artifact dirs stay excluded.
Verified:
- tests/test_docker_docs_and_readonly.py — 11/11 pass.
- YAML parses cleanly via `yaml.safe_load`.
- Full suite: 5770 passed, 0 failed.

The Docker smoke gate added in this same PR caught a real production
regression on its very first CI run. v0.51.84 (PR #2470) mounted
hermes-agent-src read-only on the WebUI side and widened the chown
prune to keep the read-only walk happy, but missed that the WebUI's
startup also runs:
uv pip install "$_agent_src[all]"
against the same now-read-only mount. setuptools' egg_info step writes
hermes_agent.egg-info/ inside the source tree even under PEP 517 build
isolation (this is by design -- PEP 517 isolates the BUILD environment,
not the source tree's metadata directory). On a :ro mount this returns
EROFS, the install fails, error_exit fires, and every multi-container
deploy dies at startup. The smoke gate flagged it on both the
two-container and three-container variants.
The fix
-------
Stage the agent source into a writable build dir under /tmp BEFORE
invoking pip install, then point pip at the staged copy.
_stage_src="/tmp/hermes-agent-build"
rm -rf "$_stage_src" && mkdir -p "$_stage_src"
rsync -a --exclude='*.egg-info' --exclude='build' --exclude='dist' \
--exclude='__pycache__' --exclude='.git' \
"$_agent_src"/ "$_stage_src"/
uv pip install "$_stage_src[all]" ...
rm -rf "$_stage_src"
The exclusion list matters: when setuptools sees a pre-baked *.egg-info,
build, or dist directory, it takes a timestamp-update code path that
also reads/writes inside that directory -- which itself fails on a :ro
source. Excluding them keeps the build on the fresh-build path
unconditionally.
rsync is in the production image (Dockerfile line 41-44). For users
running custom WebUI images without rsync, the script falls back to
cp -a + post-copy rm -rf of the same artifacts.
Tests
-----
Two new source-level invariants in tests/test_docker_docs_and_readonly.py:
test_docker_init_stages_agent_source_for_writable_install
-- asserts _stage_src=... is declared
-- asserts every `uv pip install ...[all]` line uses _stage_src,
NOT raw $_agent_src
test_docker_init_excludes_egg_info_during_staging
-- asserts the staging path excludes *.egg-info (rsync exclude
form or cp-fallback's explicit rm -rf both pass)
These would have caught the v0.51.84 regression at the source level
(once written; they're new). The Docker runtime smoke gate is the
durable defence for the broader class of :ro x init-script
interactions, since source-level invariants only catch what they're
written to catch.
Verification
------------
- pytest tests/test_docker_docs_and_readonly.py: 11 passed (9 existing
+ 2 new)
- pytest tests/ -q --timeout=60: 5891 passed, 6 skipped (was 5889;
delta is exactly the 2 new tests)
- bash -n docker_init.bash: clean
Once this lands, the Docker smoke gate's two/three-container variants
should go green, completing the self-validating loop.
PR #2470 introduces a `:ro` mount for the `hermes-agent-src` named volume
on the WebUI side of `docker-compose.{two,three}-container.yml`. The
WebUI's docker_init.bash unconditionally runs `chown_home_hermeswebui`
which walks `/home/hermeswebui` with `find -exec chown -h {} +`,
pruning only `/home/hermeswebui/.hermes/hermes-agent/.git/objects` (the
narrow #2237 fix for macOS bind mounts).
With the new `:ro` mount, every other file inside the hermes-agent
subtree is also on a read-only filesystem. `chown` returns `EROFS`,
`find -exec ... +` propagates the non-zero exit, and the wrapping
`chown_home_hermeswebui || error_exit "..."` under `set -e` kills the
container before the WebUI server can run.
Verified locally:
$ /usr/bin/find /tmp/ftest -exec false {} +
$ echo $?
1
So `find` does propagate `-exec` command failures, which the existing
`|| error_exit` then catches.
The WebUI never writes to the agent source — `uv pip install
/home/hermeswebui/.hermes/hermes-agent` is a pure read. So aligning
ownership inside the agent subtree was always a nicety, not a
requirement. Widen the prune to skip the entire
`/home/hermeswebui/.hermes/hermes-agent` path. This also subsumes the
original #2237 case (the `.git/objects` packs are inside the now-pruned
subtree) without needing a separate carve-out.
Test updates:
- Renamed `test_home_chown_skips_hermes_agent_git_objects` →
`test_home_chown_skips_hermes_agent_subtree`, and pinned the broader
prune target (`-path ".../hermes-agent" -prune`).
- Added `test_home_chown_helper_documents_readonly_mount_compat` so a
future maintainer narrowing the prune back to `.git/objects` (and
re-introducing the EROFS failure mode) trips a regression.
Verified:
- `tests/test_issue2237_docker_chown_git_objects.py` 4/4 pass.
- `tests/test_docker_docs_and_readonly.py` 9/9 pass.
- Full suite: 5738 passed, 0 failed.

The hermes-agent-src named volume in the two- and three-container compose
files is initialised from the agent image's /opt/hermes on first `up` and
Docker reuses it verbatim on every subsequent `up` — even after a fresh
`docker pull` of the agent image. This was the root cause of #1416 (the
'missing entrypoint' symptom was a stale cached volume hiding the new
image's source tree).
Changes:
- Add an 'Upgrading the agent container' section to docs/docker.md with
the canonical `down → docker volume rm → pull → up -d` recipe, plus the
same pointer as a comment block in both multi-container compose files
near the volume declarations.
- Switch the WebUI's hermes-agent-src mount to `:ro` in both multi-container
compose files. The WebUI only reads this volume to install the agent's
Python deps at startup; mounting it read-only enforces that at the kernel
layer and brings the actual mount mode in line with the existing
docs/docker.md architecture diagram (which already labelled this edge as
read-only).
- Align the workspace bind default in both multi-container compose files
with the single-container convention — `${HERMES_WORKSPACE:-${HOME}/workspace}`
instead of `${HERMES_WORKSPACE:-~/workspace}` — so the default resolves
the same way across Linux, macOS, WSL2, and Docker Desktop on Windows.
- Add a 'What the multi-container setup isolates (and what it doesn't)'
section to docs/docker.md to frame the two/three-container setups as
process/network/resource isolation, not filesystem isolation, so users
don't reach for multi-container expecting a trust boundary it doesn't
provide.
- Cross-link #1416 from the Related issues section.
Adds 9 regression tests in tests/test_docker_docs_and_readonly.py covering:
- :ro on the WebUI side of hermes-agent-src in both files
- agent side stays read-write (still needs to populate /opt/hermes on first run)
- ${HOME} (not ~) in workspace bind defaults in both files
- single-container file already uses ${HOME} (pin to prevent drift)
- docs/docker.md has the 'Upgrading the agent container' section + recipe
- compose files reference docs/docker.md + show the upgrade step inline
- docs/docker.md frames the isolation model honestly
Test suite: 42 passed (33 existing Docker tests + 9 new). No behaviour
change for users who set HERMES_WORKSPACE explicitly, and no migration is
required for existing deployments — Docker rebinds the existing volume
read-only on next `up`. Users upgrading the agent image should now follow
the documented `docker volume rm hermes-agent-src` recipe.
Closes#1416 (documented upgrade procedure) and addresses the read-only
half of the multi-container coupling concern raised on #2453.
Opus advisor review of stage-375 flagged that the protected-bracket set including `<` and `>` caused tables containing comparison operators across adjacent columns to mis-collapse: `| x < 5 | y > 10 |` matched `< ... >` as a bracket pair and stashed the inner pipe, producing one cell instead of two.
Real LLM table output uses angle brackets as comparison operators far more often than as content-grouping pairs, so the safer default is to NOT treat them as a matched pair. Dropped `<` from the opener class and `>` from both closer classes.
Three regression tests added (`TestComparisonOperatorsAcrossColumns` class): `< … >` across columns, `<` alone, `>` alone.
PR #2428's iterative _protectPipes regex introduced two issues we caught during stage assembly:
1. The negated character classes [^)\]}'>] added `'` as a stop character. That breaks cells containing string-literal pipes like `('a'|'b')` (Python type-union examples) — they would still mis-split. Dropped the apostrophe-stop.
2. The literal `}` inside the regex character classes confused the brace-counting extractFunc driver in tests/test_renderer_js_behaviour.py, breaking all 45 existing node-driven renderer tests. Rewrote both brace literals as hex escapes (\\x7b and \\x7d) — semantically identical at the regex-engine level but the JS source carries no bare brace glyph.
Also added tests/test_issue2428_table_pipe_protection.py with 9 regression tests covering single-pipe, multi-pipe-in-brackets, apostrophes-with-pipes, and the KaTeX \$...\$ guard.
Opus advisor on stage-371 caught three issues during pre-release review:
1. RTL salvage missed KaTeX math (display equations + inline LaTeX), diff
blocks, CSV tables (column order must read left-to-right regardless of
chat direction), and .skill-file-path. The first salvage commit only
covered pre/code/kbd/samp/tt and tool-call bodies. Added a second
force-LTR block covering: .katex, .katex-block, .katex-display,
.katex-html, .katex-inline, .diff-block (+children), .csv-table-wrap,
.csv-table (+children), .skill-file-path. Severity: KaTeX is the most
user-visible gap — any user rendering math under RTL would see flipped
equations.
2. Quota chip @media (max-width:1400px) hide rule conflicted at exactly
1400px with the existing @media (min-width:1400px) .messages-inner
rule — chip was hidden AT the wide-desktop boundary where it should
first appear. Changed to (max-width:1399.98px). Visually verified at
1400px: chip now correctly visible there.
3. Dead .icon-btn.provider-quota-chip selector — chip never has icon-btn
class. Removed.
Test added: test_rtl_math_and_tables_stay_ltr (pins the 4 new LTR
surfaces). Also removed dead code in test_rtl_code_blocks_stay_ltr
(unused code_block variable).
Per stage-fix protocol: SHIP-with-followup applied on the stage rather
than the source PR, since #2409 is already merged-into-stage and
nesquena-approved. Stage-371 review-bypass batch path still holds.
PR #2347 hoisted the inline state object to a `state` variable so the
auto-compression handler could share it with appendLiveCompressionCard.
Behavior is identical — same setCompressionUi() dispatch, same calm
compression-card path — but tests/test_run_journal_frontend_static.py
pinned the literal substring `setCompressionUi({` to verify the call
site. Relax the assertion to accept either inline (`{...}`) or hoisted
(`state`) argument form. Both forms route through the same compression
card path; the over-specific substring was the bug.
api.updates._schedule_restart() spawns a daemon thread that calls
os.execv() after a short sleep. Tests in test_update_banner_fixes.py
monkeypatch os.execv to a no-op, but monkeypatch teardown can win the
race against the daemon thread — when the thread wakes up after
teardown, the real os.execv is back, and it re-execs pytest with the
original argv. From the outside this looked like pytest hanging at 99%
and then restarting the entire suite from 0% in a loop.
The fix shadows os.execv with a permanent no-op wrapper at conftest
module-import time, so late-firing daemon threads can't escape. Tests
that need to verify execv was called still patch it themselves; their
patches sit on top of the wrapper for their lifetime.
Also adds tests/test_pytest_execv_guard.py to pin the guard against
future conftest refactors.
