* fix(reasoning): gate reasoning_effort ladder to GLM-5.2+ on native zai
Z.AI's API (docs.z.ai) defines reasoning_effort as GLM-5.2+ exclusive, but
hemes-webui advertised the full 6-level ladder for all 7 GLM models because
_candidate_supports_reasoning has an unconditional glm token match and
_filter_reasoning_efforts_for_provider had no ZAI branch. Six of seven catalog
models (glm-5.1, glm-5, glm-5-turbo, glm-4.7, glm-4.5, glm-4.5-flash) showed a
selector whose values the endpoint silently ignores, and GLM-4.7 (forced thinking
that cannot be disabled per Z.AI docs) showed a 'none' option with no effect.
Add a ZAI branch to _filter_reasoning_efforts_for_provider mirroring the existing
OpenAI/Gemini/Anthropic ceiling pattern: strip the whole ladder for pre-5.2 GLM
models and for the forced-thinking GLM-4.7 family; preserve the full ladder for
GLM-5.2+ (whose accepted values match VALID_REASONING_EFFORTS exactly). The gate
is scoped to the native zai provider only (aliases glm/z-ai/z.ai/zhipu all
resolve to zai); aggregator providers are untouched because they route through
their own routers, not Z.AI's native endpoint.
The glm family-detection heuristic in _candidate_supports_reasoning is unchanged
— GLM models DO support the thinking on/off toggle at the family level; this fix
is specifically about the reasoning_effort intensity ladder.
State layer: agent.reasoning_effort config + UI dropdown options derived from
resolve_model_reasoning_efforts. Invariant: UI options and coercion now agree
and match Z.AI's per-model docs (max offered only for GLM-5.2+, none never
offered for forced-thinking models). Out of scope: the thinking:{type:...}
request-field translation lives in the external agent/gateway layer.
* fix(reasoning): close ZAI coercion gap + harden test assertions
Address Greptile review on #6219 (round 1):
1. Vacuous test assertion (test_glm_5_2_preserves_none_sentinel): the 'or'
fallback made the assertion always-true, so a regression stripping 'none'
for GLM-5.2 would go undetected. Rewrote to inject 'none' via the raw source
(mocking _resolve_model_reasoning_efforts_impl) and assert it survives — the
test now genuinely exercises the preservation branch.
2. Coercion gap for non-max stored levels on pre-5.2 GLM: the existing
'if ceiling and raw not in ceiling' guard treats an empty ceiling as 'no
rule' (preserving the configured effort verbatim per #3505), so a stored
'high'/'medium'/'low' for glm-5.1/glm-4.5/glm-4.7 on native zai was forwarded
to Z.AI unchanged and silently ignored — contradicting the PR's stated
UI/coercion agreement invariant.
Root cause: the ZAI gate returns [] to mean 'known-empty' (no
reasoning_effort at all), but the coercion path treated all [] as
'ambiguous/unknown, preserve verbatim'. Fixed by extracting the ZAI decision
into _zai_glm_reasoning_efforts_supported (True/False/None sentinel) shared by
both the filter and coercion, then special-casing the known-False result in
coerce_reasoning_effort_for_model to return '' (send no field). The #3505
preserve-verbatim behavior for genuinely-unknown models on non-zai providers
is unchanged.
Added 10 regression tests (all fail before the coercion fix, pass after):
- All 6 levels (max..minimal) coerce to '' for each pre-5.2 GLM + glm-4.7
- All 4 aliases (glm/z-ai/z.ai/zhipu) resolve through the same coercion gate
- GLM-5.2 preserves all 6 levels verbatim
- Regression guard: unknown model on custom: provider STILL preserves verbatim
State layer: agent.reasoning_effort config + the value forwarded to Z.AI.
Invariant now fully holds: UI offers no options for pre-5.2 GLM AND coercion
sends no reasoning_effort field for any stored level on those models.
* fix(reasoning): preserve ZAI GLM 4.5-5.1 thinking toggle when effort ladder empty
Address nesquena-hermes round-2 review on #6219: returning [] for the effort
ladder on sub-5.2 GLM models hid the entire reasoning chip in the composer
(static/ui.js:4932 treats empty supported_efforts as 'no reasoning control at
all'), silently regressing the working thinking on/off toggle for GLM-4.5/4.6/
5.0/5.1 users. Per Z.AI's own docs, those models accept the thinking
{type:enabled|disabled} toggle even though they do not accept the
reasoning_effort intensity ladder.
Fix decouples thinking-toggle capability from the effort ladder:
Backend (api/config.py):
- Refactor _zai_glm_classification returns one of 'effort' (GLM-5.2+), 'thinking'
(GLM-4.5 up to but not including 5.2), 'forced' (GLM-4.7 family), or None
(non-zai / non-GLM). Single source of truth shared by all three consumers.
- _zai_glm_reasoning_efforts_supported now wraps classification for the coercion
contract (unchanged behavior).
- _zai_glm_thinking_toggle_supported returns True for 'effort' or 'thinking',
False for 'forced', None otherwise.
- get_reasoning_status gains a supports_thinking_toggle field = bool(supported)
OR (zai_thinking is True). Non-zai providers default to bool(supported_efforts)
so their chip-visibility behavior is unchanged.
Frontend (static/ui.js):
- New _currentReasoningToggleSupported state var (default undefined = treat as
true so legacy responses without the field do not newly hide the chip).
- _applyReasoningChip shows the chip when hasEffortLadder OR toggleSupported.
Empty efforts + toggle=True keeps the chip visible with just the None/On
control (the existing _applyReasoningOptions already shows 'none' when the
ladder is empty). Empty efforts + toggle=False (GLM-4.7 forced) hides it.
- Profile-transition and fetch-failure resets now pass
supports_thinking_toggle:false alongside the empty efforts so the chip hides
during the unknown-state window, matching the prior reset contract.
Tests (30 new):
- _zai_glm_classification parametrized across all three tiers + aliases + defer
- get_reasoning_status supports_thinking_toggle per tier (GLM-5.2 both, GLM-4.6
toggle-only, GLM-4.7 neither, non-zai defaults to effort capability)
- Frontend _applyReasoningChip behavior via node driver: empty efforts +
toggle=True stays visible, toggle=False hides, effort ladder alone is
sufficient, absent field keeps prior behavior
State layer: agent.reasoning_effort config + supports_thinking_toggle field in
/api/reasoning + composer chip visibility. Invariant: the chip is hidden ONLY
when the model supports neither the effort ladder nor the thinking toggle
(GLM-4.7 forced, or genuinely non-reasoning models); GLM-4.5-5.1 retain the
working On/None control they had before the round-1 effort gate.
* fix(reasoning): make ZAI thinking toggle two-way + force GLM-4.7 stored none
Address nesquena-hermes round-3 review on #6219 — two SILENT gaps in the
thinking-toggle path, plus a click-handler sibling I found while auditing.
Gap #1 — ONE-WAY toggle for GLM-4.5/4.6/5.0/5.1 (api/config.py:4247,
static/ui.js:4902, static/index.html:757):
The round-2 fix kept the chip visible for thinking-tier models but the only
rendered dropdown option was 'None' (the HTML had no Default option, and
set_reasoning_effort rejected empty effort with 400). So a GLM-4.6 user could
turn thinking OFF but never back ON — worse than the original bug.
Fix:
- set_reasoning_effort now accepts empty effort as 'clear the override' (removes
agent.reasoning_effort so the provider default takes effect). Invalid values
still raise ValueError.
- static/index.html gains a <div data-effort=''>Default</div> option.
- _applyReasoningOptions always shows both Default ('') and None alongside the
effort ladder, so a thinking-tier model (empty ladder + toggle=true) renders
an operable Default+None two-state control.
- Click handler (ui.js:5106) checks option presence (if(opt)) not truthiness
(if(effort)) — the old check silently ignored data-effort='' clicks, which
would have left the Default button dead even after the HTML/backend changes.
Gap #2 — GLM-4.7 not forced when 'none' stored (api/config.py:3984, :3857):
When GLM-4.7 had agent.reasoning_effort=none configured, coercion preserved
'none' via the early return at line 3985, so streaming built disabled reasoning
for a model that forces thinking on regardless. Separately, when the raw
capability source listed 'none', resolve_model_reasoning_efforts reattached it
to GLM-4.7's supported_efforts (['none']), leaking an 'off' option to the UI
for a forced-thinking model.
Fix:
- coerce_reasoning_effort_for_model checks _zai_glm_classification == 'forced'
BEFORE the generic 'none' early-return, coercing stored 'none' to '' (default
= thinking on) for forced models.
- resolve_model_reasoning_efforts returns [] early for forced-tier models,
skipping the 'none' reattachment entirely.
Tests (17 new):
- Gap #2: coerce('none', glm-4.7) -> '', regression guard that non-forced GLM
still accepts 'none'; resolve does not reattach 'none' for forced but DOES
for thinking-tier; end-to-end get_reasoning_status for forced+stored-none.
- Gap #1 backend: set('') clears the key (no raise), set('garbage') still
raises, all 7 valid levels still save.
- Gap #1 frontend: three new node-driver tests asserting the dropdown exposes
both Default and None for thinking-tier (two-state), Default+None+ladder for
effort-tier, and the off->on->off round trip keeps both visible throughout.
- Updated test_reasoning_show_hide.test_set_reasoning_effort_rejects_invalid to
reflect the new contract (empty accepted, garbage rejected).
Regression gate: gap#2 coerce tests fail without the forced-tier check (3
failures); gap#1 backend test fails with 'ValueError: effort is required'
without the empty-acceptance change. 219 passed, 1 pre-existing skip across
the full reasoning + chip + config-cache surface.
State layer: agent.reasoning_effort config + supports_thinking_toggle field +
composer dropdown options. Invariant: the thinking toggle is now genuinely
two-way for GLM-4.5-5.1 (Default=on, None=off, both always visible) and
GLM-4.7 forced-thinking never offers 'none' in any path (coerce, resolve,
status, or UI).

Salvaged from #4627 by @perejaslav. Core Hermes already supports
reasoning_effort=max; this closes the WebUI parity gap (Anchor-A) — adds
max to VALID_REASONING_EFFORTS + dropdown/chip/reasoning-command, keeps
the degrade ladder for capped models.

Opus final gate caught that the staged re-implementation placed the
window._showThinking===false gate in _worklogReasonNodeFromText, which has
ZERO callers — so live/settled reasoning rows (built by _syncWorklogReasonFromAnchor
and _appendWorklogReason) were never actually hidden, and removeThinking swept
data-worklog-reason-source=reasoning which the real rows (data-worklog-anchor-reason=1)
don't carry. The string-match tests passed against the dead function = green-suite blind spot.
Fix:
- Gate _syncWorklogReasonFromAnchor (live + settled): when _showThinking===false, remove any
existing reasoning row and bail before building.
- Gate _appendWorklogReason (settled rebuild): return null when _showThinking===false.
- removeThinking + the settled-rebuild cleanup now sweep BOTH data-worklog-anchor-reason=1
(the real attribute) and the legacy data-worklog-reason-source=reasoning.
- Re-anchor the tests to assert against the real render functions + the correct attribute.
## Release v0.51.247 — Release HO (stage-q19)
Backend correctness fix.
### Fixed
| Issue | Author | Fix |
|-------|--------|-----|
| #3505 | @franksong2702 | **Reasoning effort is coerced to a level the active model/provider actually supports** before each request, instead of being sent verbatim and rejected. `openai-codex` `gpt-5` no longer gets `max` (→ `xhigh`); `o1`/`o3`/`o4` clamp to `low`/`medium`/`high`. Coercion only steps *down* (never escalates); `none`/unset preserved. The capability filter is applied across heuristic / models.dev / Copilot / LM Studio paths. |
This is the narrow, correct fix for the detection gap that #3431 tried to address by removing the chip-visibility gate (which we shelved). The chip-visibility gate is **untouched** (Codex confirmed) — `get_reasoning_status`/`_applyReasoningChip` still hide the chip for unconfirmed models.
### Review fix absorbed (Codex + self-flagged)
The first cut **dropped** a configured effort for *unrecognized* models, because capability detection returns `[]` for both "known-unsupported" and "simply-unknown" (custom providers, aggregator-rewritten ids, new releases) — that's a behavior change vs master (which sent it verbatim) and would silently disable reasoning. Fixed: an **empty** capability set now **preserves** the configured effort (provider stays the final authority; worst case = the same rejected request master already produces, i.e. no regression). Known-bad clamps return *non-empty* filtered sets, so they still degrade correctly. Nathan chose this "preserve-for-unknown" behavior. + regression test.
### Gate
- Full pytest suite: **7548 passed, 0 failed**
- ruff: CLEAN · 48 reasoning tests pass (incl. preserve-for-unknown + codex-clamp + never-escalate)
- Codex (regression): SHIP-ONLY-WITH-FIXES (unknown-model drop) → fixed → **SAFE TO SHIP**
- Verified empirically: gpt-5/codex max→xhigh, o3 max/xhigh→high, unknown high→high (preserved), none/unset preserved

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().
