* fix(security): gate /api/onboarding/complete on the local-network check (#3765)
Sibling-path gap surfaced by the #3758 release gate. /api/onboarding/oauth/start,
/setup, and /probe are gated by _onboarding_gate_allows(), but
/api/onboarding/complete was not — it called complete_onboarding() unconditionally
(persists onboarding_completed=True, which hides the first-run wizard). On a
passwordless public bind, an unauthenticated no-Origin POST passes generic CSRF
and could flip the wizard off.
Pre-existing (the endpoint was ungated before #3758 too; #3758 only refactored the
three already-gated siblings). Low severity — it toggles a UI flag, not credentials
or access — but the inconsistency is a real hole, so close it the same way as its
siblings.
- Gate /api/onboarding/complete with _onboarding_gate_allows() → 403 when denied.
- Regression tests: public client (no forwarded headers) → 403 + complete_onboarding
NOT called; loopback client → 200; auth-enabled → 200.
- Mark the legacy _is_local_from_handler mirror in test_onboarding_network.py as a
STALE pre-#3758 contract (it trusts unauthenticated XFF); the authoritative
trust-matrix tests live in test_security_review_fixes.py. Migrating the mirror to
delegate to the real helper is tracked as follow-up test debt, out of scope here.

* fix(security): ignore spoofable forwarded IPs in onboarding gate + make update-check CSRF-safe (#3758, partial)
Ships the two unambiguous slices of #3758's security review. The two slices with
breakage risk for existing installs — the Docker-default public-bind-requires-auth
gate and removing /tmp from the /api/media allowed roots — are held for separate
review/decision.
Onboarding forwarded-IP spoof hardening (+ release-gate CORE fix):
- The unauthenticated first-run onboarding local-network gate now IGNORES
X-Forwarded-For / X-Real-IP by default (a direct client can spoof them to a
private/loopback address to bypass the gate), trusting them only when
HERMES_WEBUI_TRUST_FORWARDED_FOR=1 is set behind a trusted proxy (rightmost
proxy-appended hop).
- Release-gate (Codex) CORE catch + refinement: when forwarded headers are
present but untrusted, the header is ignored and locality is judged by the raw
socket — but a PRIVATE/LAN raw socket (a separate proxy box that could forward
an arbitrary public client) is no longer treated as local; only a LOOPBACK raw
socket is (genuine same-host; a remote attacker can't forge a 127.0.0.1 TCP
source). This closes the new fail-open the initial refactor introduced (public
client behind a LAN proxy read as local) while preserving genuine same-host
onboarding. LAN-proxy operators must set HERMES_WEBUI_TRUST_FORWARDED_FOR=1.
Regression tests lock the full matrix (spoof-block, LAN-proxy-deny,
loopback-allow, trusted-proxy-rightmost-hop, direct-public-deny).
- Three duplicated inline gate blocks unified into _onboarding_gate_allows /
_onboarding_request_is_local; ONBOARDING_OPEN normalized to canonical truthy
values via _truthy_env.
Update-check CSRF hardening:
- GET /api/updates/check is cache-only (cached_update_status(): no network/git
mutation); forced refresh moves to POST /api/updates/check {force:true}; both
frontend call sites updated and the test_api_timeout contract assertion updated.
- cached_update_status() preserves cached agent info when include_agent re-enabled.
Docker log masking: ENV_OBFUSCATE_PART also masks PASSWORD/SECRET/CREDENTIAL/COOKIE/SESSION.
Held for separate review (NOT in this PR): public-bind-requires-auth startup gate
(server.py + Dockerfile default) and the /api/media /tmp-root removal.

* fix(sessions): resolve branchy compression lineage to the freshest tip (#3751)
Compression parents can have multiple continuation-looking children when a stale
segment is resumed after a newer compressed branch already exists. The previous
projection followed the newest DIRECT child only, so it could hide the deeper
branch with the latest real activity and make a conversation look missing/stale
after compaction or session rotation.
- compression_tip() now walks ALL reachable continuation descendants (DFS) and
selects the freshest importable (messageful) tip by (last_activity, depth).
- read_session_lineage_metadata() expands descendants from the materialized
ancestors via the parent index (scoped, 20-hop cap), pulls per-session message
stats from the messages table, and exposes a canonical _lineage_tip_id so the
WebUI sidebar collapse picks the same tip as the projection.
Backward-compat hardening (two release-gate Codex findings, both fixed + tested):
The new message-stats / tip-scoring code must not raise on older/minimal or
non-standard state.db schemas, which previously collapsed the whole projection:
- messages table with NO `timestamp` column → MAX(timestamp) raised in SQL →
read_session_lineage_metadata returned {} (lost all lineage metadata).
- ISO-8601 TEXT messages.timestamp → float()/raw comparison raised TypeError;
in read_importable_agent_session_rows that propagated through compression_tip
and get_cli_sessions() swallowed it, hiding ALL imported agent rows.
Fixes:
- PRAGMA table_info(messages) detection: require session_id, only SELECT
MAX(timestamp) when present (else NULL + COUNT only); fall back to message_count.
- new _as_score() helper (first numerically-coercible value, else next
candidate e.g. started_at) used at EVERY tip-scoring / sort site in both
compression_tip() and freshest_continuation_tip(), plus the projection sort.
- regression tests: lineage metadata survives REAL/absent/TEXT messages.timestamp,
and read_importable_agent_session_rows survives a TEXT timestamp (no empty hide).

* refactor(sessions): add dormant JSON-backed SessionDB adapter (#3720, #3383)
First, lowest-risk slice of the unified-session-db migration: a SessionDB-shaped
adapter over the existing WebUI JSON store, behind a dormant experimental flag
(experimental.unified_session_db, default false). No runtime call site is rewired
— is_unified_session_db_enabled() has no live callers, so persistence behavior is
unchanged until a later migration PR opts in. Includes the adapter, the dormant
config flag + _apply_config_defaults wiring, an architecture doc, and adapter tests.
Also adds docs/architecture/ to the .gitignore docs allowlist (the docs/* rule
excludes subdirectories; the new architecture doc and its presence test would
otherwise be silently dropped on a clean checkout).

Embedded-terminal descendants reparented to the WebUI process could linger as
zombies. The reaper now calls os.waitpid(-terminal_pgid, WNOHANG) scoped to the
terminal's own process group (terminals spawn with start_new_session=True, so
proc.pid == pgid) rather than process-wide waitpid(-1), which would otherwise
reap unrelated WebUI subprocess children and silently coerce their exit codes to
0. Bounded by a 64-iteration limit and lock-guarded. Runs on reader cleanup and
terminal close.

@rodboev. providers.<name>.models.<model>.context_length overrides (standard provider,
no base_url) were invisible to the session context resolver → wrong window shown/persisted,
could trip auto-compression at the wrong threshold. New _context_length_lookup_inputs_for_model
helper resolves provider config / base_url / custom_providers across route-load, session-save,
and SSE-usage paths; provider-scoped overrides match by provider name and forward as
config_context_length (returned before any base-url-gated probe).
Maintainer pre-merge items both already satisfied in PR head: no-base_url regression test
(test_route_resolver_uses_provider_model_context_length_without_base_url) present; session-save
_cfg_base_url assigned before the helper call (safe-bound, no NameError on TypeError fallback).

* fix: honor explicit model pick, suppress silent revert on cross-family selection (#3737)
When a user changes the model in the composer dropdown and sends,
_resolve_compatible_session_model_state previously had no way to
distinguish an explicit user pick from stale session state. The
profile-aware branch (v0.51.290, PR #3448) and the legacy block
both rewrote bare cross-family models to the profile default, and
the client unconditionally applied effective_model — silently
discarding the user's choice.
Backend: accept explicit_model_pick flag (default False) on
_resolve_compatible_session_model_state. Guard both the
profile-aware branch (routes.py:2024) and the legacy block
(routes.py:2124) to skip cross-provider normalization when set.
_handle_chat_start extracts the flag and passes it through.
Frontend: consult _readPendingSessionModel (sessionStorage, 10-min
window) to detect explicit picks and include the flag. Add a toast
as defense-in-depth when the server still returns effective_model.
Closes#3737
* fix: tighten explicit-pick detection and add regression tests (#3737)
Greptile P2-1: compare model_provider in pending pick detection,
not just model name, to avoid false-positive flag when the
session provider changes between pick and send.
Greptile P2-2: only show the defense-in-depth toast when an
explicit pick was actually overridden — stale-session
normalizations are expected behavior and should be silent.
Add two regression tests for the profile-branch guard:
- explicit_model_pick=True → cross-family model survives
- explicit_model_pick=False → existing normalization preserved
* revert(sidebar): remove manual session status labels (#3570)
The manual per-session status labels (Todo / In Progress / Done) added in
v0.51.284 (#3570) stored state only in browser localStorage keyed by session
id, with no server-side backing — so labels did not persist across browsers
or devices (a user who labeled sessions on one machine saw none after moving
to a laptop). They also rendered as three flat top-level entries in the
session context menu, crowding the root menu.
Per maintainer decision, remove the feature entirely for now. It can be
reintroduced later with proper server-side persistence and a less intrusive
menu treatment.
Removes:
- JS state/cycle helpers + SESSION_MANUAL_STATUS_KEY (static/sessions.js)
- context-menu status entries + sidebar status badge render
- .session-manual-status* CSS (static/style.css)
- session_status_* locale strings across all locales (static/i18n.js)
Full suite: 8084 passed, 0 failed. ESLint runtime gate: clean.
reverts #3570
* fix(#3737): keep explicit-pick marker until send consumes it (Codex catch)
Codex found the explicit_model_pick flag never engaged in the normal flow: boot.js
modelSelect.onchange cleared the pending-pick marker right after /api/session/update,
so by the time send() ran _readPendingSessionModel returned null, _explicitPick was
false, and the server's profile-provider branch still reverted the cross-family pick
(the exact #3737 bug). The flag only worked in the rare race where send beat the
session-update round-trip.
Fix (Codex prescription): do NOT clear the marker in onchange; clear it in send()
immediately after reading a matching pending pick, so it's consumed for that send only.
onchange still RECORDS the pick (_rememberPendingSessionModel) — only the premature
clear is removed.
* test(#3737): lock client clear-timing wiring (onchange records, send consumes)
Static source guards for the Codex clear-timing fix: onchange must record the
pending pick and NOT clear it post-session-update; send() must consume (clear) it
only after reading a matching _explicitPick, and send the flag only when truthy.
Complements the author's resolver-level tests in test_provider_mismatch.py.
* test(#3737): realign refresh-persistence test to the moved pending-pick clear
The Codex clear-timing fix moved the pending-pick clear out of modelSelect.onchange
into send() (consume-on-send). test_model_selection_records_pending_state_before_async_session_update
asserted the OLD onchange-clears behavior (assert _clearPendingSessionModel in body).
Updated to assert the NEW correct behavior (onchange must NOT clear it — it survives to
send). The test's core refresh-survives invariant (marker recorded before the async
session-update; reapplied on load) is unchanged and still passes; only the stale
clear-location assertion is flipped. Not a regression-blessing: the refresh-survives
feature is intact, the marker lifecycle is more correct.

Deep review (Codex diff-vs-master + live-browser drive) of the live-to-final refactor
surfaced 4 regressions vs master that the rewritten suite no longer guarded:
1. Inline <think>…</think>answer reasoning vanished — _assistantReasoningPayloadText
used $-anchored regexes so a leading think block + visible answer extracted nothing
and the Thinking card never rendered. Removed the 3 $ anchors to match the
(non-anchored) display stripper. Live: inline-think thinking-only turn now renders.
2. (CORE) reconnect/reload duplicated the live reply — _rememberRunJournalCursor advanced
a closure-local seq but never wrote INFLIGHT[activeSid].lastRunJournalSeq, so a reload
replayed the journal from after_seq=0 over restored lastAssistantText. Now mirrors the
cursor onto INFLIGHT + schedules a throttled persist.
3. Neon skin silently broke — PR deleted the :root[data-skin="neon"] CSS but left Neon in
the picker. Restored the neon CSS block from master.
4. Settled tool-worklog rebuild gated purely on !S.busy — dropped every prior settled
turn's worklog when renderMessages re-ran during an active stream (switch-back to an
in-progress session). Restored master's !S.busy || (S.toolCalls && S.toolCalls.length).
Live: busy re-render now preserves tool cards (4→4, was 4→0).
Live-verified all 4 + confirmed #3709/#3592 invariants still hold (1 thinking card, none
below footer; distinct siblings preserved). + tests/test_issue3401_deep_review_fixes.py (7).
* test(#3401): realign 3 stale source-shape assertions to the deep-review fixes
Fix commit changed two source literals that existing stage tests scanned for:
- test_live_activity_timeline.py (x2): split anchor 'if(!S.busy){' → the restored
'if(!S.busy || (S.toolCalls&&S.toolCalls.length)){' guard (fix 4).
- test_run_journal_frontend_static.py: 'after_seq=0' not in source — fix 2's comment
contained that literal; rephrased the comment to 'the zero floor (after_seq of 0)'.
Intent of all three assertions unchanged; only the matched string updated. No code
behavior change.

* fix(#3315): surface compression-exhausted/no-final-answer turns as errors (#3316)
When Hermes Agent exhausts context compression in a long tool-heavy turn, the
streamed result can end on a tool result / assistant(tool_calls) turn with no
final assistant answer. WebUI was finalizing that as a completed response.
Now _session_lacks_final_assistant_answer() + _agent_result_terminal_failure()
classify these as terminal failures and surface an apperror instead. The
compression session-id migration + pre-compression snapshot now run BEFORE the
terminal-failure return (ordering bug from the prior hold) so state stays
consistent when exhaustion fires after the agent rotated session_id.

* fix(security): reject traversal-shaped job_id in cron output endpoint (#3661)
Co-authored-by: hinotoi-agent <paperlantern.agent@gmail.com>
* docs(changelog): v0.51.273 — Release IO (stage-p3b)
* test(cron): guard new cron-output tests with @requires_agent_modules (#3661)
The two new direct-handler tests import cron.jobs, which lives in hermes-agent
and is NOT installed in CI — without the marker they error/hang in the no-agent
CI shard (caught by the shard-0 timeout). Mirrors how the other 30 agent-dependent
tests skip cleanly when hermes-agent modules aren't importable.

## Release v0.51.267 — Release II (stage-r17)
Security hardening cluster — 3 @zapabob PRs (forwarded-header trust + TTS prosody validation).
### Security
| Issue/PR | Author | Hardening |
|----------|--------|-----------|
| #3640 | @zapabob | `/api/tts` per-client throttle no longer trusts `X-Forwarded-For` by default (can't spoof to evade the rate limit); forwarded IP honored only behind a trusted-proxy opt-in. |
| #3642 | @zapabob | CSRF same-origin check no longer trusts `X-Forwarded-Host`/`X-Real-Host` by default (closes a forwarded-host CSRF bypass); opt-in keeps legit reverse-proxy deploys working; default uses the real `Host`. |
| #3643 | @zapabob | Browser-provided TTS prosody (rate/pitch/volume) validated against the `±N%` / `±NHz` grammar before `edge_tts.Communicate`. |
### Attribution
Each contributor branch was **rebased onto current master and pushed back to @zapabob's fork** (native authorship preserved), so the source PRs are current/mergeable. Shipped here as one release because all three add a `[Unreleased]` CHANGELOG entry at the same location (merging individually would force a rebase-cascade). Source PRs #3640/#3642/#3643 closed as merged-via-release with credit.
### Gate
- Full pytest suite: **7779 passed, 0 failed**
- ruff: CLEAN
- revert-guard: PASS (all 3 branches rebased; master is an ancestor)
- Codex (regression): **SAFE TO SHIP** — each hardening is **default-secure AND opt-in-compatible** (no legit reverse-proxy/tunnel deploy breaks on update): CSRF forwarded-host default-off + opt-in works + normal same-origin still passes; TTS prosody rejects out-of-grammar input, legit `+N%` passes; TTS throttle ignores spoofed XFF by default.

## Release v0.51.266 — Release IH (stage-r16)
One agent-authored APPROVED fix + two un-held streaming/SSE fixes.
### Fixed
| Issue/PR | Author | Fix |
|----------|--------|-----|
| #3635 (#3637) | @nesquena-hermes (nesquena APPROVED) | Composer profile chip reads `S.activeProfile` again — a #3331 regression keyed it on the loaded session's profile, so opening a cross-profile session made the chip disagree with the dropdown checkmark and misrepresent where the next message routes. #3331's project/session-op scoping is unaffected. |
| #3587 (#3605) | @rodboev | Reasoning persists to the correct intermediate assistant message in multi-turn tool flows. The index only advanced in `on_interim_assistant` (suppressed for contentless tool-call messages) → post-tool reasoning was mis-attributed; it now also advances at the `on_tool` boundary, guarded against over-increment. **(un-held — finding resolved)** |
| #2660 (#3558) | @franksong2702 | Session-event SSE no longer wakes every tab across profiles and never drops a relevant refresh — profile attached when known, root/`default` aliases stay unscoped, and the `maxsize=1` queue falls back to unscoped refresh-all on a profile-mismatch coalesce. **(un-held — both findings resolved)** |
### Gate
- Full pytest suite: **7770 passed, 0 failed**
- ESLint: CLEAN · ruff: CLEAN · browser-smoke: CLEAN
- Codex (regression): **SAFE TO SHIP** — chip matches dropdown/routing (no #3331 scoping regression), reasoning-index advance composes with the agent's tool/interim callback ordering, session-events coalesce safely with no dropped refresh and no profile data leak (`/api/sessions` still server-side filtered).

## Release v0.51.264 — Release IF (stage-r14)
Un-held sibling pair (#3585 + #3586) — both addressed the findings from the earlier hold; re-reviewed fresh.
### Fixed
| Issue/PR | Author | Fix |
|----------|--------|-----|
| #3585 | @rodboev | Cron sessions no longer flood the CLI sidebar window (restored the `("cron","webui")` exclusion in `_load_cli_sessions_uncached`). |
| #3586 | @rodboev | Messaging sessions keep their source label after a refresh **and open + send correctly** — `is_cli_session_row()` classifies them non-CLI, and the sidebar open/import path now uses `_isMessagingSession()` so a reclassified Discord/Telegram/Slack row is imported on open (no transient stub → no `/api/chat/start` 404). |
### Un-hold note
These were held earlier today because the `is_cli_session_row()` reclassification (#3586) created a CORE open-path regression — opening a reclassified messaging session 404'd on the next send. The author pushed a fix adding the `_isMessagingSession()` import gate at all open/lineage/refresh paths (+ regression test `test_issue3603_external_session_import_gate.py`), and Codex confirmed both that AND the secondary webui-recovery concern (cron-only exclusion now keeps `source='webui'` sidecar-less recovery rows) are resolved.
### Gate
- Full pytest suite: **7729 passed, 0 failed**
- ESLint: CLEAN · ruff: CLEAN · browser-smoke: CLEAN
- Codex (regression): **SAFE TO SHIP** — open→import→send path verified (messaging rows go through `/api/session/import_cli` before `/api/chat/start`); `is_cli_session_row` classification correct; the pair composes in `_load_cli_sessions_uncached`.

## Release v0.51.263 — Release IE (stage-r13)
Batch 1 (fresh) — trimmed to the clean pair after the gate held two.
### Fixed
| Issue/PR | Author | Fix |
|----------|--------|-----|
| #3621 | @luanxu-dev | `/codex-runtime` + `/codex_runtime` now run as a WebUI slash command (routed through the executor reusing the agent's `codex_runtime_switch`) instead of being sent to the model as a chat message. |
### Tests
| Issue/PR | Author | Change |
|----------|--------|--------|
| #3595 | @rodboev | Regression coverage for the already-shipped `activity_feed_expanded_default` setting. |
### Held back from this batch (Codex regression gate)
- **#3624** (passkey-challenge cap, security) — the cap **raises** `PasskeyRateLimitError` when full instead of **evicting oldest**, so an attacker (or 8 abandoned legit attempts per context) can lock out genuine registration/login until TTL — the protection becomes a lockout DoS. Held with the oldest-first-eviction fix.
- **#3618** (prefer server-side STT) — forcing MediaRecorder by default breaks browser `SpeechRecognition` dictation on installs with **no** server STT configured (`_transcribeBlob` only toasts on failure, never falls back). Held with the graceful-fallback fix.
### Gate
- Full pytest suite: **7714 passed, 0 failed**
- ESLint: CLEAN · ruff: CLEAN
- Codex (regression): SHIP-ONLY-WITH-FIXES (#3624 DoS-lockout + #3618 STT-no-fallback) → both dropped/held → **SAFE TO SHIP** (verified no passkeys.py/boot.js remnants, codex-runtime dispatch reaches the allowlist).

## Release v0.51.262 — Release ID (stage-r12)
Phase-3 light slice (no-screenshot items) — 3 PRs.
### Fixed
| Issue/PR | Author | Fix |
|----------|--------|-----|
| #3432 (#3532) | @franksong2702 | Normalize the recall-prefill terminal `user` turn so WebUI doesn't send adjacent `user` roles to strict chat templates (Mistral/Gemma/Jinja). `_normalize_prefill_messages_before_user_turn()` in both `streaming.py` + `gateway_chat.py`; drops only the terminal user tail, preserves assistant/system/mid-list context. **Rebased onto master** (was CONFLICTING). |
| #2558 (#3516) | @rodboev | "Reveal in file manager" now translates container workspace paths (`/workspace`) back to the host mount path for Docker deployments (traversal-safe via `safe_resolve` + sibling-prefix guard). |
### Changed
| Issue/PR | Author | Change |
|----------|--------|--------|
| (#3539) | @Lyr-GW | Completed the Chinese (Simplified) `zh` localization (MCP controls, tool-list pagination) with all interpolations preserved, and the language dropdown now applies the locale **instantly** on change. |
### Review fix absorbed (Codex)
#3539 also added an `allowed=['en','zh']` filter to the Settings language dropdown, which dropped the 9 other shipped locales (it/ja/ru/es/de/pt/ko/fr/tr) — and since save falls back to `en` when the select has no matching option, an existing user of those locales would be **silently reset to English** on a Settings save. Removed the filter (dropdown enumerates all `LOCALES` again, matching master); partially-translated locales fall back per-key to English at render. + regression test `test_issue3539_language_dropdown_all_locales.py`.
### Gate

## Release v0.51.261 — Release IC (stage-r11)
Live Todos panel via an explicit `todo_state` SSE contract.
### Fixed
| Issue/PR | Author | Fix |
|----------|--------|-----|
| #3373 follow-up (#3454) | @v2psv | The Todos side panel now tracks `todo` tool state **live during an active run** instead of staying stale until settle / rolling back on a mid-stream reload. A dedicated `todo_state` SSE event sends a full, redacted, idempotent snapshot on todo-tool completion (no more truncated `tool_complete.preview`); the same `api.todo_state` parser feeds live + cold-load; live snapshots persist into INFLIGHT so reload/reattach restores the panel; cold-load vs INFLIGHT reconciled by timestamp (incl. the `coldTs===0` compressed-session edge); legacy reverse-scan kept as fallback for old servers. |
### Gate
- Full pytest suite: **7692 passed, 0 failed**
- ESLint: CLEAN · ruff: CLEAN · browser-smoke: CLEAN
- Codex (regression): **SAFE TO SHIP** — verified the new `todo_state` SSE handler composes with existing dispatch (no double-subscribe), INFLIGHT persistence is cleared on terminal/cancel (composes with discard_session + turn-journal), timestamp reconciliation can't let a stale local snapshot win, redaction holds, the legacy reverse-scan fallback still works with no double-render, and the `models.py` change is todo-scoped (no CLI-classification interaction).

## Release v0.51.259 — Release IA (stage-r7)
Two ship-ready @rodboev bug-fixes from today (the clean subset of the prioritized 6).
### Fixed
| Issue | Fix |
|-------|-----|
| #3582 | **Edge-TTS playback no longer has a ~31s delay / playback error** — `_handle_tts` streamed audio without `Content-Length` on an HTTP/1.0 server; audio is now buffered and sent with an exact `Content-Length`. |
| #3583 | **CLI-bridge message reconstruction strips orphaned `tool_calls`** (assistant `tool_calls` with no matching `tool` response, left by an aborted bridge) so the next request no longer 400s on strict providers. |
### Held back from the 6-PR batch (Codex regression gate caught a real defect in each)
- **#3586/#3603** (`is_cli_session_row` reclassification) — CORE: messaging rows become non-CLI, but the sidebar open path only imports when `is_cli_session`, so opening a Discord/Telegram session shows a transient stub and the next send 404s on `/api/chat/start`. Needs a client import-gate fix + live verify. **Held.**
- **#3585/#3604** (cron-overflow) — removing `exclude_sources=None` also re-excludes `source='webui'` rows, dropping sidecarless WebUI session recovery from `/api/sessions`. Needs a separate webui recovery pass. **Held.**
- **#3587** (intermediate reasoning) — `on_interim_assistant` is suppressed upstream for contentless tool-call assistant messages (`run_agent.py:3834`), so advancing the reasoning index there never fires at tool-call boundaries → mis-attribution. **Held.**
- **#3538** (self-update stash-pop) — BRICK data-loss (`git reset --merge` + `git stash drop` discards user mods), still unaddressed. **Held.**
### Gate
- Full pytest suite: **7645 passed, 0 failed**

## Release v0.51.257 — Release HY (stage-r5)
Two rebased ★★★ fixes.
### Fixed
| Issue | Author | Fix |
|-------|--------|-----|
| #3546 | @rodboev | **"Refresh Models" on a provider card no longer returns "Error: Not found".** Sent `POST /api/models/refresh` but no route matched (404). Added the route, wired to the existing `invalidate_provider_models_cache(provider_id)`. |
| #3548 | @franksong2702 | **Credential self-heal no longer writes to a dead `SessionDB` handle.** A credential-refresh evicted/closed the cached agent, but the retry rebuilt a new agent from kwargs still holding the old closed `SessionDB` → persistence silently targeted a dead handle. Per-request `SessionDB` construction centralized + refreshed on the retry. |
### Dropped from this batch
- **#2660** (session-event SSE profile scoping) — the Codex regression gate found **two SILENT dropped-refresh bugs** the scoping introduced: (1) the `maxsize=1` subscriber-queue coalescing overwrites a pending profile-A event with a profile-B event → A-tabs filter B out and never refresh for the A change; (2) renamed-root/`default` alias mismatch (backend `_profiles_match` treats them equal, the client filter uses a literal `!==`). A dropped refresh (stale sidebar) is worse than the extra refreshes the PR removes. Held with `changes-requested` + repros + the fail-safe fix (coalesce to unscoped on a profile mismatch; normalize root aliases).

## Release v0.51.256 — Release HX (stage-r4)
Performance — bound WebUI memory growth & idle CPU on large installs.
### Fixed
| Issue | Author | Fix |
|-------|--------|-----|
| #3506 | @nesquena-hermes (reported w/ profiling by @djenttleman) | On a large install (~615 sessions / 40k messages / 454 MB state.db) the WebUI process climbed ~100 MB → ~1.5 GB RSS over days and held high idle CPU. Three root causes fixed: (1) `session_lifecycle._sessions` grew unbounded → new `discard_session()` drops the entry at agent-eviction boundaries, only when no in-flight commit / no uncommitted memory work (retry invariant preserved); (2) cache caps now operator-tunable (`HERMES_WEBUI_AGENT_CACHE_MAX` default 50→25, `HERMES_WEBUI_SESSIONS_MAX`); (3) GatewayWatcher computes a cheap fingerprint before the expensive per-session `MAX(messages.timestamp)` projection and only re-projects on change. |
### Rebase + review notes
- Rebased onto current master; the code diff was verified **byte-identical to the nesquena-APPROVED head** at rebase time (only CHANGELOG re-resolved).
- The Codex regression gate then surfaced **two correctness gaps** the approval didn't catch, both fixed here with regression tests:
1. **Watcher fingerprint missed same-count transcript rewrites.** `/retry`,`/undo`,`/compress` (`SessionDB.replace_messages`) rewrite messages with new timestamps but can leave `message_count` unchanged → stale sidebar `last_activity`. Fixed with a **per-session** grouped message aggregate (`id, count, user_count, MAX(timestamp)`) over the same non-excluded sessions (a global MAX would miss a rewrite of an older, non-newest session); cron/webui stay excluded so idle churn still doesn't re-project.
2. **LRU agent-cache eviction could close a live worker's agent** (`popitem(last=False)`, liveness-blind — pre-existing, but the lower 50→25 cap made it more likely). Eviction now snapshots `ACTIVE_RUNS` session_ids (before the cache lock — no nested lock) and skips live sessions, deferring (temporarily exceeding cap) rather than closing a live agent.

## Release v0.51.255 — Release HW (stage-r3)
Backend hardening — single PR.
### Fixed
| PR | Author | Fix |
|----|--------|-----|
| #3561 | @rodboev | Turn journal (crash-recovery backbone) writes **pid-scoped shards** (`{sid}~{pid}.jsonl`) instead of one shared `{sid}.jsonl`, so concurrent processes (e.g. a self-restart overlap) can't interleave-corrupt large JSON lines. `read_turn_journal` merges all shards + the legacy file and sorts by `created_at` — recovery unchanged, backward-compatible. |
### Gate
- Full pytest suite: **7593 passed, 0 failed**
- ruff: CLEAN · 18 turn-journal tests pass
- Codex (regression): **SAFE TO SHIP** — verified legacy+shard merge (no data loss on upgrade), `~` separator can't collide with a session id, the cross-shard `created_at` sort doesn't break recovery (it derives state by timestamp; stream lookup keys by unique `stream_id`), and no reader/writer bypasses `_journal_path`.
- *Non-blocking note:* old `{sid}~{oldpid}.jsonl` shards aren't pruned, so the journal dir can grow across restarts — storage hygiene, not a core-flow regression. Worth a follow-up cleanup (e.g. drop shards with no live pid on session delete).

## Release v0.51.249 — Release HQ (stage-q21)
Small opt-in feature. UX-approved (screenshot of the toggle in Settings → Preferences).
### Added
| Issue | Author | Feature |
|-------|--------|---------|
| #2974 | @rodboev | **"Auto-expand terminal on output"** preference (Settings → Preferences, **off by default**). When enabled, the collapsed embedded terminal panel expands automatically the first time a running command emits output. Fires once per stream (guarded on open && collapsed — not per chunk), and uses `expandComposerTerminal({focus:false})` so it doesn't steal focus from the composer. Backend-persisted boolean mirroring the `simplified_tool_calling` pattern; default-off = no behavior change on upgrade. |

## Release v0.51.248 — Release HP (stage-q20)
Bug-fix.
### Fixed
| Issue | Author | Fix |
|-------|--------|-----|
| #2782 | @rodboev | **A WebUI session whose sidecar was deleted server-side (e.g. `docker compose --force-recreate`) but whose messages remain in `state.db` no longer bricks the chat.** It used to look alive (`GET` 200 from a CLI stub) while every action 404'd (`POST /api/session/draft`, `/api/chat/start`). The GET handler now consults `_index.json`: a deleted **WebUI-origin** session (webui/fork/blank-non-CLI source) returns 404 so the client self-heals (clears saved id, strips the stale `/session/<id>` URL, falls through to the welcome screen). Genuine CLI/imported sessions keep their 200 read-only stub. Client self-heal now also covers mid-session sidecar deletion of the current session. |
### Review fix absorbed (Codex CORE catch)
The first cut collapsed `source_tag or raw_source or session_source or ""`, defaulting a **blank-source** row to WebUI — which would wrongly 404 a **legacy CLI/imported** session that carries `is_cli_session:true` with blank source fields. Now classified **per-field**: any `webui`/`fork` → 404; any explicit non-WebUI source → keep the 200 CLI stub; all-blank → 404 only when NOT `is_cli_session` and NOT `read_only`. + 2 regression tests.
