+
+## [v0.49.2] OAuth provider support in onboarding (issues #303, #304)
+
+- **OAuth provider bypass** (closes #303, #304): The first-run onboarding wizard now correctly recognizes OAuth-authenticated providers (GitHub Copilot, OpenAI Codex, Nous Portal, Qwen OAuth) as ready, instead of always demanding an API key.
+  - New `_provider_oauth_authenticated()` helper in `api/onboarding.py` checks `hermes_cli.auth.get_auth_status()` first (authoritative), then falls back to parsing `~/.hermes/auth.json` directly for the known OAuth provider IDs (`openai-codex`, `copilot`, `copilot-acp`, `qwen-oauth`, `nous`).
+  - `_status_from_runtime()` now has an `else` branch for providers not in `_SUPPORTED_PROVIDER_SETUPS`; OAuth-authenticated providers return `provider_ready=True` and `setup_state="ready"`.
+  - The `provider_incomplete` status note no longer says "API key" for OAuth providers — it now says "Run 'hermes auth' or 'hermes model' in a terminal to complete setup."
+  - 19 new tests in `tests/test_sprint34.py`; 738 tests total (up from 719)
+
+## [v0.49.1] Docker docs + mobile Profiles button (PRs #291, #265)
+
+- **Two-container Docker setup** (PR #291 / closes #288): New `docker-compose.two-container.yml` for running the Hermes Agent and WebUI as separate containers with shared volumes. Documents the architecture clearly; localhost-only port binding by default.
+- **Mobile Profiles button** (PR #265 @gabogabucho): Adds Profiles to the mobile bottom navigation bar (last position: Chat → Tasks → Skills → Memory → Spaces → Profiles). Uses `mobileSwitchPanel()` for correct active-highlight behaviour; `data-panel="profiles"` attribute set; SVG matches other nav icons; 3 new tests.
+  - 700 tests total (up from 697)
+
+## [v0.49.0] First-run onboarding wizard + self-update hardening (PRs #285, #287, #289)
+
+- **One-shot bootstrap and first-run setup wizard** (PR #285): New users are greeted with a guided onboarding overlay on first load. The wizard checks system status, configures a provider (OpenRouter, Anthropic, OpenAI, or custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint), sets a workspace and optional password, and marks setup as complete — all without leaving the browser.
+  - `bootstrap.py`: one-shot CLI bootstrap that writes `~/.hermes/config.yaml` and `~/.hermes/.env` from flags; idempotent and safe to re-run
+  - `api/routes.py`: `/api/onboarding/status` (GET) and `/api/onboarding/complete` (POST) endpoints; real provider config persistence to `config.yaml` + `.env`
+  - `static/onboarding.js`: full wizard JS module — step navigation, provider dropdown, model selector, API key input, Back/Continue flow, i18n support
+  - `static/index.html`: onboarding overlay HTML shell + `<script src="/static/onboarding.js">` load
+  - `static/i18n.js`: 40+ onboarding keys added to all 5 locales (en, es, de, zh-Hans, zh-Hant)
+  - `static/boot.js`: on load, fetches `/api/onboarding/status` and opens wizard when `completed=false`
+  - Wizard does NOT show when `onboarding_completed=true` in settings
+  - 14 new tests in `tests/test_onboarding.py`; 693 tests total (up from 679)
+
+- **Self-update git pull diagnostics** (PR #287): Fixes multiple failure modes in the WebUI self-update flow when the repo has a non-trivial git state.
+  - `_run_git()` now returns stderr on failure (stdout fallback, then exit-code message) — users see actionable git errors instead of empty strings
+  - New `_split_remote_ref()` helper splits `origin/master` into `('origin', 'master')` before `git pull --ff-only` — fixes silent failures where git misinterpreted the combined string as a repository name
+  - `--untracked-files=no` added to `git status --porcelain` — prevents spurious stash failures in repos with untracked files
+  - Early merge-conflict detection via porcelain status codes before attempting pull
+  - 4 new unit tests in `tests/test_updates.py`
+
+- **Skip flaky redaction test in agent-less environments** (PR #289): `test_api_sessions_list_redacts_titles` added to the CI skip list for environments without hermes-agent installed. Test still runs with the full agent; security coverage preserved by 6 pure-unit tests and 2 other API-level redaction tests.
+  - 697 tests total (up from 693)
+
+## [v0.48.2] Provider/model mismatch warning (PR #283, fixes #266)
+
+- **Provider mismatch warning** (PR #283): WebUI now warns when you select a model from a provider different from the one Hermes is configured for, instead of silently failing with a 401 error.
+  - `api/streaming.py`: 401/auth errors classified as `type='auth_mismatch'` with an actionable hint ("Run `hermes model` in your terminal to switch providers")
+  - `static/ui.js`: `populateModelDropdown()` stores `active_provider` from `/api/models` as `window._activeProvider`; new `_checkProviderMismatch()` helper compares selected model's provider prefix against the configured provider
+  - `static/boot.js`: `modelSelect.onchange` calls `_checkProviderMismatch()` and shows a toast warning immediately on selection
+  - `static/messages.js`: `apperror` handler shows "Provider mismatch" label (via i18n) instead of "Error" for auth errors
+  - `static/i18n.js`: `provider_mismatch_warning` and `provider_mismatch_label` keys added to all 5 locales (en, es, de, zh-Hans, zh-Hant)
+  - Check skipped for `openrouter` and `custom` providers to avoid false positives
+  - 21 new tests in `tests/test_provider_mismatch.py`; 679 tests total (up from 658)
+## [v0.48.1] Markdown table inline formatting (PR #278)
+
+- **Inline formatting in table cells** (PR #278, @nesquena): Table header and data cells now render `**bold**`, `*italic*`, `` `code` ``, and `[links](url)` correctly. Previously `esc()` was used, which displayed raw HTML tags as text. Changed to `inlineMd()` consistent with list items and blockquotes. XSS-safe: `inlineMd()` escapes all interpolated values. Two-line change in `static/ui.js`. Fixes #273.
+## [v0.48.0] Real-time gateway session sync (PR #274)
+
+- **Real-time gateway session sync** (PR #274, @bergeouss): Gateway sessions from Telegram, Discord, Slack, and other messaging platforms now appear in the WebUI sidebar and update in real time as new messages arrive. Enable via the "Show agent sessions" checkbox (renamed from "Show CLI sessions").
+  - `api/gateway_watcher.py`: background daemon thread polling `state.db` every 5s using MD5 hash-based change detection
+  - New SSE endpoint `/api/sessions/gateway/stream` for real-time push to browser
+  - Dynamic source badges: telegram (blue), discord (purple), slack (dark purple), cli (green)
+  - Zero changes to hermes-agent — WebUI reads the shared `state.db` that both components access
+  - 10 new tests in `test_gateway_sync.py` covering metadata, filtering, SSE, and watcher lifecycle
+  - 658 tests (up from 648)
+## [v0.47.1] Spanish locale (PR #275)
+
+- **Spanish (es) locale** (PR #275, @gabogabucho): Full Spanish translation for all 175 UI strings. Exposed automatically in the language selector via existing `LOCALES` wiring. Includes regression tests verifying locale presence, representative translations, and key-parity with English. 648 tests (up from 645).
+## [v0.47.0] — 2026-04-11
+
+### Features
+- **`/skills [query]` slash command** (PR #257): Fetches from `/api/skills`, groups results by category (alphabetically), renders as a formatted assistant message. Optional query filters by name, description, or category. Shows in the `/` autocomplete dropdown. i18n for en/de/zh/zh-Hant. 1 regression test added.
+- **Shared app dialogs replace native `confirm()`/`prompt()`** (PR #251, extracted from #242 by @aronprins): `showConfirmDialog()` and `showPromptDialog()` in `ui.js`, backed by `#appDialogOverlay`. Replaces all 11 native browser dialog call sites across panels.js, sessions.js, ui.js, workspace.js. Full keyboard focus trap (Tab/Escape/Enter), ARIA roles, danger mode, focus restore, mobile-responsive buttons. i18n for en/de/zh/zh-Hant. 5 new tests in `test_sprint33.py`.
+- **Session `⋯` action dropdown** (PR #252, extracted from #242 by @aronprins): Replaces 5 per-row hover buttons (pin/move/archive/duplicate/delete) with a single `⋯` trigger. Menu uses `position:fixed` to avoid sidebar clipping. Full close handling: click-outside, scroll, Escape, resize-reposition. `test_sprint16.py` updated to assert the new trigger exists and old button classes are gone.
+
+### Bug Fixes
+- **Custom provider with slash model name no longer rerouted to OpenRouter** (PR #255): `resolve_model_provider()` now returns immediately with the configured `provider`/`base_url` when `base_url` is set, before the slash-based OpenRouter heuristic runs. Fixes `google/gemma-4-26b-a4b` with `provider: custom` being silently routed to OpenRouter (401 errors). 1 regression test added. Fixes #230.
+- **Android Chrome: workspace panel now closeable on mobile** (PR #256): `toggleMobileFiles()` now shows/hides the mobile overlay. New `closeMobileFiles()` helper closes the right panel with correct overlay tracking. Overlay tap-to-close calls both `closeMobileSidebar()` and `closeMobileFiles()`. Mobile-only `×` close button added to workspace panel header. Fix applied during review: `closeMobileSidebar()` now checks if the right panel is still open before hiding the overlay. Fixes #247.
+- **Android Chrome: profile dropdown no longer clipped on mobile** (PR #256): `.profile-dropdown` switches to `position:fixed; top:56px; right:8px` at `max-width:900px`, escaping the `overflow-x:auto` stacking context that was making it invisible. Fixes #246.
+
+### Tests
+- **Mobile layout regression suite** (PR #254): 14 static tests in `tests/test_mobile_layout.py` that run on every QA pass. Covers: CSS breakpoints at 900px/640px, right panel slide-over, mobile overlay, bottom nav, files button, profile dropdown z-index, chip overflow, workspace close, `100dvh`, 44px touch targets, 16px textarea font. All pass against current and future master.
+
+**CSS hotfix (commit a2ae953, post-tag):** session action menu — icon now displays inline-left of text. The `.ws-opt` base class (`flex-direction:column`) was causing SVG icons to stack above the label. Fixed with 3 CSS rule overrides on `.session-action-opt`.
+
+**645 tests (up from 624 on v0.46.0 — +21 new tests)**
+
+---
+
+## [v0.46.0] — 2026-04-11
+
+### Features
+- **Docker UID/GID matching** (PR #237 by @mmartial): New `docker_init.bash` entrypoint adds `hermeswebui`/`hermeswebuitoo` user pattern so container-created files match the host user UID/GID. Prevents `.hermes` volume mounts from being owned by root. Configure via `WANTED_UID` and `WANTED_GID` env vars (default 1000/1000). README updated with setup instructions.
+  - `Dockerfile` — two-user pattern with passwordless sudo; `/.within_container` marker for in-container detection; starts as `hermeswebuitoo`, switches to correct UID/GID
+  - `docker-compose.yml` — mounts `.hermes` at `/home/hermeswebui/.hermes`; uses `${UID:-1000}/${GID:-1000}` for UID/GID passthrough
+  - `server.py` — detects `/.within_container` and prints a note when binding to 0.0.0.0
+
+### Security
+- **Credential redaction in API responses** (PR #243 by @kcclaw001): All API endpoints now redact credentials from responses at the response layer. Session files on disk are unchanged; only the API output is masked.
+  - `api/helpers.py` — `redact_session_data()` and `_redact_value()` apply pattern-based redaction to messages, tool_calls, and title; covers GitHub PATs, OpenAI/Anthropic keys, AWS keys, Slack tokens, HuggingFace tokens, Authorization Bearer headers, and PEM private key blocks
+  - `api/routes.py` — `GET /api/session`, `GET /api/session/export`, `GET /api/memory` all wrapped with redaction
+  - `api/streaming.py` — SSE `done` event payload redacted before broadcast
+  - `api/startup.py` — new `fix_credential_permissions()` called at startup; `chmod 600` on `.env`, `google_token.json`, `auth.json`, `.signing_key` if they have group/other read bits set
+  - `tests/test_security_redaction.py` — 13 new tests covering redaction functions and endpoint structural verification
+
+### Bug Fixes
+- **Custom model list discovery with config API key** (PR #238 by @ccqqlo): `get_available_models()` now reads `api_key` from `config.yaml` before env vars when fetching `/v1/models` from custom endpoints (LM Studio, Ollama, etc.). Priority: `model.api_key` → `providers.<active>.api_key` → `providers.custom.api_key` → env vars. Also adds `OpenAI/Python 1.0` User-Agent header. Fixes model picker collapsing to single default model for config-only setups. 1 new regression test.
+- **HTML entity decode before markdown processing** (PR #239 by @Argonaut790): Adds `decode()` helper in `renderMd()` to fix double-escaping of HTML entities from LLM output (e.g. `&lt;code&gt;` becoming `&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;` instead of rendering). XSS-safe: decode runs before `esc()`, only 5 entity patterns (`&lt;`, `&gt;`, `&amp;`, `&quot;`, `&#39;`).
+- **Simplified Chinese translations completed** (PR #239 by @Argonaut790): 40+ missing keys added to `zh` locale (123 → 164 keys). New `zh-Hant` (Traditional Chinese) locale with 163 keys.
+- **Cancel button now interrupts agent execution** (PR #244 by @huangzt): `cancel_stream()` now calls `agent.interrupt()` to stop backend tool execution, not just the SSE stream. `AGENT_INSTANCES` dict (protected by `STREAMS_LOCK`) tracks active agents. Race condition fixed: after storing agent, immediately checks if cancel was already requested. Frontend: removes stale "Cancelling..." status text; `setBusy(false)` always called on cancel. 6 new unit tests in `tests/test_cancel_interrupt.py`.
+
+**624 tests (up from 604 on v0.45.0 — +20 new tests)**
+
+---
+
+## [v0.45.0] — 2026-04-10
+
+### Features
+- **Custom endpoint fields in new profile form** (PR #233, fixes #170): The New Profile form now accepts optional Base URL and API key fields. When provided, both are written into the new profile's `config.yaml` under the `model` section, enabling local-endpoint setups (Ollama, LMStudio, etc.) to be configured in one step without editing YAML manually. The write is a no-op when both fields are left blank, so existing profile creation behavior is unchanged.
+  - `api/profiles.py` — `_write_endpoint_to_config()` merges `base_url`/`api_key` into `config.yaml` using `yaml.safe_load` + `yaml.dump`, preserving any existing keys
+  - `api/routes.py` — accepts `base_url` and `api_key` from POST body; validates that `base_url`, if provided, starts with `http://` or `https://` (returns 400 for invalid schemes)
+  - `static/index.html` — two new inputs added to the New Profile form: Base URL (with `http://localhost:11434` placeholder) and API key (password type)
+  - `static/panels.js` — `submitProfileCreate()` reads both fields, validates URL format client-side before sending, and includes them in the create payload; `toggleProfileForm()` clears them on cancel
+  - 9 tests in `tests/test_sprint31.py` covering: config write (base_url, api_key, both, merge, no-op), route acceptance, profile path in response, and invalid-scheme rejection
+
+**604 tests (up from 595)**
+
+## [v0.44.1] — 2026-04-10
+
+- **Unskip 16 approval tests** (PR #231): `test_approval_unblock.py` was importing `has_pending` and `pop_pending` from `tools.approval`, which the agent module had removed. The import failure tripped the `APPROVAL_AVAILABLE` guard and skipped all 16 tests in the file. Neither symbol was used in any test body. Removing the stale imports restores **595/595 passing, 0 skipped**.
+
+## [v0.44.0] — 2026-04-10
+
+### Features
+- **Lucide SVG icons** (PR #221): Replaces all emoji icons in the sidebar, workspace, and tool cards with self-hosted Lucide SVG paths via `static/icons.js`. No CDN dependency — icons are bundled directly. The `li(name)` renderer uses a hardcoded whitelist, so server-supplied tool names never inject arbitrary SVG. All 35 `onclick=` functions verified to exist in JS; all 21 icon references verified in `icons.js`.
+
+### Bug Fixes
+- **Approval card hides immediately on respond/stream-end** (PR #225): `respondApproval()` and all stream-end SSE handlers (done, cancel, apperror, error, start-error) now call `hideApprovalCard(true)`. Previously the 30s minimum-visibility guard deferred the hide, leaving the card visible with disabled buttons for up to 30s after the user clicked Approve/Deny or the session completed. The poll-loop tick correctly keeps no-force so the guard still protects against transient polling gaps. Adds 11 structural tests for the timer logic.
+- **Login page CSP fix** (PR #226): Moves `doLogin()` and Enter key listener from inline `<script>`/`onsubmit`/`onkeydown` attributes into `static/login.js`. Inline handlers are blocked by strict `script-src` CSP, causing silent login failure. i18n error strings now passed via `data-*` attributes instead of injected JS literals. Also guards `res.json()` parse with try/catch so non-JSON server errors fall back to the password-error message. Fixes #222.
+- **Update error messages** (PR #227): `_apply_update_inner()` now fetches before pulling and surfaces three distinct failure modes with actionable recovery commands: network unreachable, diverged history (`git reset --hard`), and missing upstream tracking branch (`git branch --set-upstream-to`). Generic fallback truncates to 300 chars with a sentinel for empty output. Adds 13 tests covering all new diagnostic code paths. Fixes #223.
+- **Approval pending check** (PR #228): `GET /api/approval/pending` always returned `{pending: null}` after the agent module renamed `has_pending` to `has_blocking_approval`. The route now checks `_pending` directly under `_lock`, matching how `submit_pending` writes to it. Fixes `test_approval_submit_and_respond`.
+
+### Tests
+- 579 passing, 16 skipped at this tag (595/595 after v0.44.1 unskip — +24 new tests across PRs #225, #227, #228)
+
+## [v0.43.1] — 2026-04-10
+
+- **CSRF fix for reverse proxies** (PR #219): The CSRF check now accepts `X-Forwarded-Host` and `X-Real-Host` headers in addition to `Host`, so deployments behind Caddy, nginx, and Traefik no longer reject POST requests with "Cross-origin request rejected". Security is preserved — requests with no matching proxy header are still rejected. Fixes #218.
+
+## [v0.43.0] — 2026-04-10
+
+### Features
+- **Auto-install agent dependencies on startup** (PRs #215 + #216): When `hermes-agent` is found on disk but its Python dependencies are missing (common in Docker deployments where the agent is volume-mounted post-build), `server.py` now calls `api/startup.auto_install_agent_deps()` to install from `requirements.txt` or `pyproject.toml`. Falls back gracefully — failures are logged and never fatal.
+
+### Bug Fixes
+- **Session ID validator broadened** (PR #212): `Session.load()` rejected any session ID containing non-hex characters, breaking sessions created by the new hermes-agent format (`YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS_xxxxxx`). Validator now accepts `[0-9a-z_]` while rejecting path traversal patterns (null bytes, slashes, backslashes, dot-extensions).
+- **Test suite isolation** (PR #216): `conftest.py` now kills any stale process on the test port (8788) before starting the fixture server. Stale QA harness servers (8792/8793) could occupy 8788 and cause non-deterministic test failures across the full suite.
+
+## [v0.42.2] — 2026-04-10
+
+### Bug Fixes
+- **CSP blocking inline event handlers** (PR #209): `script-src 'self'` blocked all 55+ inline `onclick=` handlers in `index.html`, making the settings panel, sidebar navigation, and most interactive controls non-functional. Added `'unsafe-inline'` to `script-src`. Also restores `https://cdn.jsdelivr.net` to `script-src` and `style-src` for Mermaid.js and Prism.js (dropped in v0.42.1).
+
+## [v0.42.1] — 2026-04-11
+
+### Bug Fixes
+- **i18n button text stripping** (post-review): Three sidebar buttons (`+ New job`, `+ New skill`, `+ New profile`) and three suggestion buttons had `data-i18n` on the outer element, which caused `applyLocaleToDOM` to replace the entire `textContent` — stripping the `+` prefix and emoji characters on locale switch. Fixed by wrapping only the translatable label text in a `<span data-i18n="...">`.
+- **German translation corrections** (post-review): Fixed `cancelling` (imperative → progressive `"Wird abgebrochen…"`), `editing` (first-person verb → noun `"Bearbeitung"`), and completed truncated descriptions for `empty_subtitle`, `settings_desc_check_updates`, and `settings_desc_cli_sessions`.
+
+## [v0.42.0] — 2026-04-10
+
+### Features
+- **German translation** (PR #190 by @DavidSchuchert): Complete `de` locale covering all UI strings — settings, commands, sidebar, approval cards. Also extends the i18n system with `data-i18n-title` and `data-i18n-placeholder` attribute support so tooltip text and input placeholders are now translatable. German speech recognition uses `de-DE`.
+
+### Bug Fixes
+- **Custom slash-model routing** (PR #189 by @smurmann): Model IDs like `google/gemma-4-26b-a4b` from custom providers (LM Studio, Ollama) were silently misrouted to OpenRouter because of the slash-heuristic. Custom providers now win: entries in `config.yaml → custom_providers` are checked first, so their model IDs route to the correct local endpoint regardless of format.
+- **Phantom Custom group in model picker** (PR #191 by @mbac): When `model.provider` was a named provider (e.g. `openai-codex`) and `model.base_url` was set, `hermes_cli` reported `'custom'` as authenticated, producing a duplicate "Custom" group in the dropdown. The real provider's group was missing the configured default model. Fixed by discarding the phantom `custom` entry when a real named provider is active.
+- **Hyphen/space model group injection** (PR #191): The "ensure default_model appears" post-pass used `active_provider.lower() in group_name.lower()`, which fails for `openai-codex` vs display name `OpenAI Codex` (hyphen vs space). Now uses `_PROVIDER_DISPLAY` for exact display-name matching.
+
+## [v0.41.0] — 2026-04-10
+
+### Features
+- **Optional HTTPS/TLS support** (PR #199): Set `HERMES_WEBUI_TLS_CERT` and
+  `HERMES_WEBUI_TLS_KEY` env vars to enable HTTPS natively. Uses
+  `ssl.PROTOCOL_TLS_SERVER` with TLS 1.2 minimum. Gracefully falls back to HTTP
+  if cert loading fails. No reverse proxy required for LAN/VPN deployments.
+
+### Bug Fixes
+- **CSP blocking Mermaid and Prism** (PR #197): Added Content-Security-Policy and
+  Permissions-Policy headers to every response. CSP allows `cdn.jsdelivr.net` in
+  `script-src` and `style-src` for Mermaid.js (dynamically loaded) and Prism.js
+  (statically loaded with SRI integrity hashes). All other external origins blocked.
+- **Session memory leak** (PR #196): `api/auth.py` accumulated expired session tokens
+  indefinitely. Added `_prune_expired_sessions()` called lazily on every
+  `verify_session()` call. No background thread, no lock contention.
+- **Slow-client thread exhaustion** (PR #198): Added `Handler.timeout = 30` to kill
+  idle/stalled connections before they exhaust the thread pool.
+- **False update alerts on feature branches** (PR #201): Update checker compared
+  `HEAD..origin/master` even when on a feature branch, counting unrelated master
+  commits as missing updates. Now uses `git rev-parse --abbrev-ref @{upstream}` to
+  track the current branch's upstream. Falls back to default branch when no upstream
+  is set.
+- **CLI session file browser returning 404** (PR #204): `/api/list` only checked
+  the WebUI in-memory session dict, so CLI sessions shown in the sidebar always
+  returned 404 for file browsing. Now falls back to `get_cli_sessions()` — the same
+  pattern used by `/api/session` GET and `/api/sessions` list.
+
+## [v0.40.2] — 2026-04-09
+
+### Features
+- **Full approval UI** (PR #187): When the agent triggers a dangerous command
+  (e.g. `rm -rf`, `pkill -9`), a polished approval card now appears immediately
+  instead of leaving the chat stuck in "Thinking…" forever. Four one-click buttons:
+  Allow once, Allow session, Always allow, Deny. Enter key defaults to Allow once.
+  Buttons disable immediately on click to prevent double-submit. Card auto-focuses
+  Allow once so keyboard-only users can approve in one keystroke. All labels and
+  the heading are fully i18n-translated (English + Chinese).
+
+### Bug Fixes
+- **Approval SSE event never sent** (PR #187): `register_gateway_notify()` was
+  never called before the agent ran, so the approval module had no way to push
+  the `approval` SSE event to the frontend. Fixed by registering a callback that
+  calls `put('approval', ...)` the instant a dangerous command is detected.
+- **Agent thread never unblocked** (PR #187): `/api/approval/respond` did not call
+  `resolve_gateway_approval()`, so the agent thread waited for the full 5-minute
+  gateway timeout. Now calls it on every respond, waking the thread immediately.
+- **`_unreg_notify` scoping** (PR #187): Variable was only assigned inside a `try`
+  block but referenced in `finally`. Initialised to `None` before the `try` so the
+  `finally` guard is always well-defined.
+
+### Tests
+- 32 new tests in `tests/test_sprint30.py`: approval card HTML structure, all 4
+  button IDs and data-i18n labels, keyboard shortcut in boot.js, i18n keys in both
+  locales, CSS loading/disabled/kbd states, messages.js button-disable behaviour,
+  streaming.py scoping, HTTP regression for all 4 choices.
+- 16 tests in `tests/test_approval_unblock.py` (gateway approval unit + HTTP).
+- **547 tests total** (499 → 515 → 547).
+
+---
+
+## [v0.40.1] — 2026-04-09
+
+### Bug Fixes
+- **Default locale on first install** (PR #185): A fresh install would start in
+  English based on the server default, but `loadLocale()` could resurrect a
+  stale or unsupported locale code from `localStorage`. Now `loadLocale()` falls
+  back to English when there is no saved code or the saved code is not in the
+  LOCALES bundle. `setLocale()` also stores the resolved code, so an unknown
+  input never persists to storage.
+
+---
+
+## [v0.40.0] — 2026-04-09
+
+### Features
+- **i18n — pluggable language switcher** (PR #179): Settings panel now has a
+  Language dropdown. Ships with English and Chinese (中文). All UI strings use
+  a `t()` helper that falls back to English for missing keys. The login page
+  also localises — title, placeholder, button, and error strings all respond to
+  the saved locale. Add a language by adding a LOCALES entry to `static/i18n.js`.
+- **Notification sound + browser notifications** (PR #180): Two new settings
+  toggles. "Notification sound" plays a short two-tone chime when the assistant
+  finishes or an approval card appears. "Browser notification" fires a system
+  notification when the tab is in the background.
+- **Thinking / reasoning block display** (PR #181, #182): Inline `<think>…</think>`
+  and Gemma 4 `<|channel>thought…<channel|>` tags are parsed out of assistant
+  messages and rendered as a collapsible 💡 "Thinking" card above the reply.
+  During streaming, the bubble shows "Thinking…" until the tag closes. Hardened
+  against partial-tag edge cases and empty thinking blocks.
+
+### Bug Fixes
+- **Stray `}` in message row HTML** (PR #183): A typo in the i18n refactor left
+  an extra `}` in the `msg-role` div template literal, producing `<div class="msg-role user" }>`.
+  Removed.
+- **JS-escape login locale strings** (PR #183): `LOGIN_INVALID_PW` and
+  `LOGIN_CONN_FAILED` were injected into a JS string context without escaping
+  single quotes or backslashes. Now uses minimal JS-string escaping.
+
+---
+
+## [v0.39.1] — 2026-04-08
+
+### Bug Fixes
+- **_ENV_LOCK deadlock resolved.** The environment variable lock was held for
+  the entire duration of agent execution (including all tool calls and streaming),
+  blocking all concurrent requests. Now the lock is acquired only for the brief
+  env variable read/write operations, released before the agent runs, and
+  re-acquired in the finally block for restoration.
+
+---
+
+## [v0.39.0] — 2026-04-08
+
+### Security (12 fixes — PR #171 by @betamod, reviewed by @nesquena-hermes)
+
+- **CSRF protection**: all POST endpoints now validate `Origin`/`Referer` against `Host`. Non-browser clients (curl, agent) without these headers are unaffected.
+- **PBKDF2 password hashing**: `save_settings()` was using single-iteration SHA-256. Now calls `auth._hash_password()` — PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 with 600,000 iterations and a per-installation random salt.
+- **Login rate limiting**: 5 failed attempts per 60 seconds per IP returns HTTP 429.
+- **Session ID validation**: `Session.load()` rejects any non-hex character before touching the filesystem, preventing path traversal via crafted session IDs.
+- **SSRF DNS resolution**: `get_available_models()` resolves DNS before checking private IPs. Prevents DNS rebinding attacks. Known-local providers (Ollama, LM Studio, localhost) are whitelisted.
+- **Non-loopback startup warning**: server prints a clear warning when binding to `0.0.0.0` without a password set — a common Docker footgun.
+- **ENV_LOCK consistency**: `_ENV_LOCK` now wraps all `os.environ` mutations in both the sync chat and streaming restore blocks, preventing races across concurrent requests.
+- **Stored XSS prevention**: files with `text/html`, `application/xhtml+xml`, or `image/svg+xml` MIME types are forced to `Content-Disposition: attachment`, preventing execution in-browser.
+- **HMAC signature**: extended from 64 bits to 128 bits (16-char to 32-char hex).
+- **Skills path validation**: `resolve().relative_to(SKILLS_DIR)` check added after skill directory construction to prevent traversal.
+- **Secure cookie flag**: auto-set when TLS or `X-Forwarded-Proto: https` is detected. Uses `getattr` safely so plain sockets don't raise `AttributeError`.
+- **Error path sanitization**: `_sanitize_error()` strips absolute filesystem paths from exception messages before they reach the client.
+
+### Tests
+- Added `tests/test_sprint29.py` — 33 tests covering all 12 security fixes.
+
+---
+
+## [v0.38.6] — 2026-04-07
+
+### Fixed
+- **`/insights` message count always 0 for WebUI sessions** (#163, #164): `sync_session_usage()` wrote token counts, cost, model, and title to `state.db` but never `message_count`. Both the streaming and sync chat paths now pass `len(s.messages)`. Note: `/insights` sync is opt-in — enable **Sync to Insights** in Settings (it's off by default).
+
+---
+
+## [v0.38.5] — 2026-04-06
+
+### Fixed
+- **Custom endpoint URL construction** (#138, #160): `base_url` ending in `/v1` was incorrectly stripped before appending `/models`, producing `http://host/models` instead of `http://host/v1/models`. Fixed to append directly.
+- **`custom_providers` config entries now appear in dropdown** (#138, #160): Models defined under `config.yaml` `custom_providers` (e.g. Ollama aliases, Azure model overrides) are now always included in the dropdown, even when the `/v1/models` endpoint is unreachable.
+- **Custom endpoint API key reads profile `.env`** (#138, #160): Custom endpoint auth now checks `~/.hermes/.env` keys in addition to `os.environ`.
+
+---
+
+## [v0.38.4] — 2026-04-06
+
+### Fixed
+- **Copilot false positive in model dropdown** (#158): `list_available_providers()` reported Copilot as available on any machine with `gh` CLI auth, because the Copilot token resolver falls back to `gh auth token`. The dropdown now skips any provider whose credential source is `'gh auth token'` — only explicit, dedicated credentials count. Users with `GITHUB_TOKEN` explicitly set in their `.env` still see Copilot correctly.
+
+---
+
+## [v0.38.3] — 2026-04-06
+
+### Fixed
+- **Model dropdown shows only configured providers** (#155): Provider detection now uses `hermes_cli.models.list_available_providers()` — the same auth check the Hermes agent uses at runtime — instead of scanning raw API key env vars. The dropdown now reflects exactly what the user has configured (auth.json, credential pools, OAuth flows like Copilot). When no providers are detected, shows only the configured default model rather than a full generic list. Added `copilot` and `gemini` to the curated model lists. Falls back to env var scanning for standalone installs without hermes-agent.
+
+---
+
+## [v0.38.2] — 2026-04-06
+
+### Fixed
+- **Tool cards actually render on page reload** (#140, #153): PR #149 fixed the wrong filter — it updated `vis` but not `visWithIdx` (the loop that actually creates DOM rows), so anchor rows were never inserted. This PR fixes `visWithIdx`. Additionally, `streaming.py`'s `assistant_msg_idx` builder previously only scanned Anthropic content-array format and produced `idx=-1` for all OpenAI-format tool calls (the format used in saved sessions); it now handles both. As a final fallback, `renderMessages()` now builds tool card data directly from per-message `tool_calls` arrays when `S.toolCalls` is empty, covering historical sessions that predate session-level tool tracking.
+
+---
+
+## [v0.38.1] — 2026-04-06
+
+### Fixed
+- **Model selector duplicates** (#147, #151): When `config.yaml` sets `model.default` with a provider prefix (e.g. `anthropic/claude-opus-4.6`), the model dropdown no longer shows a duplicate entry alongside the existing bare-ID entry. The dedup check now normalizes both sides before comparing.
+- **Stale model labels** (#147, #151): Sessions created with models no longer in the current provider list now show `"ModelName (unavailable)"` in muted text with a tooltip, instead of appearing as a normal selectable option that would fail silently on send.
+
+---
+
+## [v0.38.0] — 2026-04-06
+
+### Fixed
+- **Multi-provider model routing (#138):** Non-default provider models now use `@provider:model` format. `resolve_model_provider()` routes them through `resolve_runtime_provider(requested=provider)` — no OpenRouter fallback for users with direct provider keys.
+- **Personalities from config.yaml (#139):** `/api/personalities` reads from `config.yaml` `agent.personalities` (the documented mechanism). Personality prompts pass via `agent.ephemeral_system_prompt`.
+- **Tool call cards survive page reload (#140):** Assistant messages with only `tool_use` content are no longer filtered from the render list, preserving anchor rows for tool card display.
+
+---
+
+## [v0.37.0] /personality command, model prefix routing fix, tool card reload fix
+*April 6, 2026 | 465 tests*
+
+### Features
+- **`/personality` slash command.** Set a per-session agent personality from `~/.hermes/personalities/<name>/SOUL.md`. The personality prompt is prepended to the system message for every turn. Use `/personality <name>` to activate, `/personality none` to clear, `/personality` (no args) to list available personalities. Backend: `GET /api/personalities`, `POST /api/personality/set`. (PR #143)
+
+### Bug Fixes
+- **Model dropdown routes non-default provider models correctly (#138).** When the active provider is `anthropic` and you pick a `minimax` model, its ID is now prefixed `minimax/MiniMax-M2.7` so `resolve_model_provider()` can route it through OpenRouter. Guards added: `active_provider=None` prevents all-providers-prefixed, case is normalised, shared `_PROVIDER_MODELS` list is no longer mutated by the default_model injector. (PR #142)
+- **Tool call cards persist correctly after page reload.** The reload rendering logic now anchors cards AFTER the triggering assistant row (not before the next one), handles multi-step chains sharing a filtered anchor in chronological order, and filters fallback anchor to assistant rows only. (PR #141)
+
+---
+
+## [v0.36.3] Configurable Assistant Name
+*April 6, 2026 | 449 tests*
+
+### Features
+- **Configurable bot name.** New "Assistant Name" field in Settings panel.
+  Display name updates throughout the UI: sidebar, topbar, message roles,
+  login page, browser tab title, and composer placeholder. Defaults to
+  "Hermes". Configurable via settings or `HERMES_WEBUI_BOT_NAME` env var.
+  Server-side sanitization prevents empty names and escapes HTML for the
+  login page. (PR #135, based on #131 by @TaraTheStar)
+
+---
+
+## [v0.36.2] OpenRouter model routing fix
+*April 5, 2026 | 440 tests*
+
+### Bug Fixes
+- **OpenRouter models sent without prefix, causing 404 (#116).** `resolve_model_provider()` was stripping the `openrouter/` prefix from model IDs (e.g. sending `free` instead of `openrouter/free`) when `config_provider == 'openrouter'`. OpenRouter requires the full `provider/model` path to route upstream correctly. Fixed with an early return that preserves the complete model ID for all OpenRouter configs. (#127)
+- Added 7 unit tests for `resolve_model_provider()` — first coverage on this function. Tests the regression, cross-provider routing, direct-API prefix stripping, bare models, and empty model.
+
+---
+
+## [v0.36.1] Login form Enter key fix
+*April 5, 2026 | 433 tests*
+
+### Bug Fixes
+- **Login form Enter key unreliable in some browsers (#124).** `onsubmit="return doLogin(event)"` returned a Promise (async functions always return a truthy Promise), which could let the browser fall through to native form submission. Fixed with `doLogin(event);return false` plus an explicit `onkeydown` Enter handler on the password input as belt-and-suspenders. (#125)
+
+---
+
+## [v0.36] Self-Update Checker with One-Click Update
+*April 5, 2026 | 433 tests*
+
+### Features
+- **Update checker.** Non-blocking background check on boot detects when the
+  WebUI or hermes-agent git repos are behind upstream. Blue banner shows
+  "WebUI: N updates, Agent: N updates available" with Update Now / Later.
+- **One-click update.** "Update Now" runs `git stash && git pull --ff-only &&
+  git stash pop` on each behind repo, then reloads the page. Concurrent update
+  attempts blocked via lock. Dirty working trees safely stashed and restored.
+- **Settings toggle.** "Check for updates" checkbox in Settings panel. Persisted
+  server-side. Disabled = no background fetch, no banner.
+- **30-minute cache.** Git fetch runs at most twice per hour regardless of tab
+  count. Results cached server-side with TTL.
+- **Session-scoped dismissal.** "Later" dismisses banner for the current tab
+  session (sessionStorage). New tabs get a fresh check.
+- **Test mode.** `?test_updates=1` URL param shows the banner with fake data
+  (localhost only) for UI testing without needing to actually be behind.
+
+### Architecture
+- New `api/updates.py`: `check_for_updates()`, `apply_update()`. Thread-safe
+  caching with `_cache_lock`. Concurrent apply blocked with `_apply_lock`.
+  Default branch auto-detected (master/main).
+- `api/routes.py`: `GET /api/updates/check`, `POST /api/updates/apply`.
+  Simulate endpoint gated to 127.0.0.1.
+- `static/ui.js`: `_showUpdateBanner()`, `dismissUpdate()`, `applyUpdates()`.
+- `static/boot.js`: fire-and-forget check on boot (does not block UI).
+- `api/config.py`: `check_for_updates` in settings defaults + bool keys.
+- Docker safe: all git ops gated by `.git` directory existence check.
+
+---
+
+## [v0.35.1] Model dropdown fixes
+*April 5, 2026 | 433 tests*
+
+### Bug Fixes
+- **Custom providers invisible in model dropdown (#117).** `cfg_base_url` was scoped inside a conditional block but referenced unconditionally, causing a `NameError` for users with a `base_url` in config.yaml. Fix: initialize to `''` before the block. (#118)
+- **Configured default model missing from dropdown (#116).** OpenRouter and other providers replaced the model list with a hardcoded fallback that didn't include `model.default` values like `openrouter/free` or custom local model names. Fix: after building all groups, inject the configured `default_model` at the top of its provider group if absent. (#119)
+
+---
+
+## [v0.35] Security hardening
+*April 5, 2026 | 433 tests*
+
+### Security fixes
+- **ENV race condition (HIGH):** Two concurrent sessions could interleave `os.environ` writes, clobbering workspace and session keys. Fixed with a global `_ENV_LOCK` in `streaming.py` that serializes the env save/restore block across all sessions. (#108)
+- **Predictable signing key (MEDIUM):** Session cookies were signed with `sha256(STATE_DIR)` -- deterministic and forgeable if the install path is known. Now generates a cryptographically random 32-byte key on first startup, persisted to `STATE_DIR/.signing_key` (chmod 600). (#108)
+- **Upload path traversal (MEDIUM):** Filenames like `..` survived the `[^\w.\-]` sanitization regex because dots are allowed. Fixed by rejecting dot-only filenames and validating the resolved path stays within the workspace sandbox via `safe_resolve_ws()`. (#108)
+- **Weak password hashing (MEDIUM):** Bare SHA-256 with a predictable salt replaced with PBKDF2-SHA256 at 600k iterations (OWASP recommendation) using the random signing key as salt. No new dependencies (stdlib `hashlib.pbkdf2_hmac`). (#108)
+
+**Breaking change:** Existing session cookies and password hashes are invalidated on first restart after upgrade. Users with password auth enabled will need to re-set their password.
+
+---
+
+## [v0.34.3] Light theme final polish
+*April 5, 2026 | 433 tests*
+
+### Bug Fixes
+- **Light theme: sidebar, role labels, chips, and interactive elements all broken.** Session titles were too faint, active session used washed-out gold, pin stars were near-invisible bright yellow, and all hover/border effects used dark-theme white `rgba(255,255,255,.XX)` values invisible on cream. Fixed with 46 scoped `[data-theme="light"]` selector overrides covering session items, role labels, project chips, topbar chips, composer, suggestions, tool cards, cron list, and more. (#105)
+- Active session now uses blue accent (`#2d6fa3`) for strong contrast. Pin stars use deep gold (`#996b15`). Role labels are solid and high contrast.
+
+---
+
+## [v0.34.2] Theme text colors
+*April 5, 2026 | 433 tests*
+
+### Bug Fixes
+- **Light mode text unreadable.** Bold text was hardcoded white (invisible on cream), italic was light purple on cream, inline code had a dark box on a light background. Fixed by introducing 5 new per-theme CSS variables (`--strong`, `--em`, `--code-text`, `--code-inline-bg`, `--pre-text`) defined for every theme. (#102)
+- Also replaced remaining `rgba(255,255,255,.08)` border references with `var(--border)`, and darkened light theme `--code-bg` slightly for better contrast.

 # Why Hermes
 
-Hermes is a persistent, autonomous AI agent that lives on your server. It remembers everything,
-schedules work while you sleep, and gets more capable the longer it runs. This document explains
-the mental model, why that matters, and how Hermes compares to every major AI tool available today.
+Hermes is a persistent, autonomous AI agent that runs on your server. It has layered memory that
+accumulates across sessions, a cron scheduler that fires jobs while you're offline, and a
+self-improving skills system that saves reusable procedures automatically. You reach it from a
+terminal, a browser, or a messaging app — and it's the same agent with the same history every time.
+
+This document explains the mental model, how Hermes compares to other tools honestly, and where
+it is and is not the right choice.
 
 ---
 
-## The Core Idea: Assistants Forget. Agents Don't.
+## The real problem: most tools are excellent in the moment and weak over time
 
-Every time you open Claude Code, Codex, or a chat window, the tool starts from zero. It does not
-know who you are, what you worked on yesterday, how your repo is structured, or what bugs you
-already fixed. You re-explain yourself every single session. The tool is powerful in the moment
-and useless the next day.
+Memory is no longer a differentiator on its own. ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot all
+have some form of memory now. Anthropic, OpenAI, and Microsoft are all shipping scheduling and
+agent features. The category boundaries that existed twelve months ago are blurring fast.
 
-Hermes fills that gap. It runs on your server, retains context across every session, and acts
-on your behalf whether or not you are at a keyboard.
+Hermes is not the only tool with memory or automation. It is the tool that makes those
+capabilities durable, self-hosted, cross-surface, and cumulative on your own server. The
+distinction that matters is not "has memory" vs. "has no memory" — it's whether context persists
+across sessions automatically, whether execution happens on hardware you control, whether you can
+reach the same agent identity from any device, and whether the system gets meaningfully better at
+your specific workflow over time without manual configuration.
 
 ```

+Session-scoped:   You -> [Tool] -> Answer -> Done
+                  (some tools now carry memory, but the execution is stateless)
 
-Agent model:      You <-> [Hermes] <-> (memory, skills, schedule, tools)

-## The Three Pillars
+## A note on convergence
 
-### 1. Memory That Compounds
+The market is converging. Chat assistants are adding task scheduling and file connectors. IDE
+tools are launching cloud agent modes. CLI tools are adding skills systems and mobile surfaces.
+The lines between "assistant," "editor," and "agent" are dissolving.
 
-Hermes has layered memory that survives every session, every reboot, every model swap:
+This makes comparisons harder but also makes the question sharper: what actually matters when
+every tool is claiming some version of every feature? For Hermes, the answer is synthesis. Any
+single feature — memory, scheduling, messaging — is available somewhere else. The value is
+having all of them in one self-hosted system, running continuously, with a persistent identity
+that accumulates real knowledge of your stack over time.
 
-- **User profile** -- who you are, your preferences, your communication style, things you've
-  corrected Hermes on
-- **Agent memory** -- facts about your environment, your toolchain, your project conventions
-- **Skills** -- reusable procedures Hermes discovers and saves; it never has to relearn how to
-  deploy your app, run your tests, or review a PR
-- **Session history** -- every past conversation is searchable; Hermes can recall what you
-  worked on last Tuesday

+
+Hermes has layered memory that survives every session, every reboot, and every model swap:
+
+- User profile — who you are, your preferences, your communication style, things you've corrected Hermes on
+- Agent memory — facts about your environment, your toolchain, your project conventions
+- Skills — reusable procedures Hermes discovers and saves automatically; it never has to relearn how to deploy your app, run your tests, or review a PR
+- Session history — every past conversation is searchable; Hermes can recall what you worked on last Tuesday
 
 When you correct Hermes, it remembers. When it solves a tricky problem, it saves the approach.
-When it learns your stack, that knowledge carries into every future session.

-## A Framework for AI Tools
+## How AI tools are layered today
 
-There are four distinct categories of AI tool. Understanding the category tells you what a tool
-can and cannot do.
+The old four-category model — chat, editor, CLI, agent — is too clean. These layers are actively
+collapsing into each other. Here is a more honest picture:
 
-### Category 1: Chat Assistants
-*Claude.ai, ChatGPT, Gemini*
+Chat assistants (Claude.ai, ChatGPT) now have persistent memory, task scheduling, 50+ service
+connectors, and in some cases full agent modes with computer use. They are no longer "just chat."
 
-You open a window, ask something, get an answer. No persistent memory beyond the conversation,
-no ability to run code or touch files, no way to act on your behalf. Excellent for Q&A,
-drafting, and brainstorming. You re-explain your context every session.
+IDE tools (Cursor, Windsurf, Copilot) have shipped or are shipping cross-session memory,
+cloud-based background agents, and in Cursor's case a full Automations platform with Slack
+integration. Cursor v3.0 (April 2026) is explicitly agent-first.
 
-### Category 2: IDE Integrations
-*GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, Zed AI*
+CLI tools (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode) have added hooks, skills, desktop app automations,
+and multi-surface reach. Claude Code now spans terminal, IDE, desktop, and browser. Codex has
+become a product family: CLI, IDE extension, desktop app, and Codex Cloud.
 
-Deep inside your editor. Autocomplete, inline diffs, refactors -- all excellent. Windsurf was
-earliest with workspace-scoped memory (Cascade Memories); Copilot has been shipping repo-level
-memory since late 2025 and is catching up. Cursor has no native memory as of early 2026. None
-have scheduling or messaging access. Tied to one machine and one editor.
+Persistent self-hosted agents (Hermes, OpenClaw) sit at the intersection: they combine the
+tool-use power of CLI agents, the memory of chat assistants, the scheduling of automation
+platforms, and the cross-surface reach of messaging integrations — running continuously on
+hardware you own.
 
-### Category 3: Agentic CLI Tools
-*Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenCode, Aider*
-
-The current frontier for most developers. Can use real tools -- run shell commands, read and
-write files, search the web, call APIs. Great for deep, multi-step tasks in a single terminal
-session. All are adding memory and scheduling features to varying degrees (see comparisons below),
-but the core model is still session-scoped: you invoke it, it works, it stops.
-
-### Category 4: Persistent Autonomous Agents
-*Hermes, OpenClaw (as of early 2026)*
-
-All the tool use of Category 3, plus memory that accumulates across sessions, plus always-on
-scheduling, plus multi-modal access from any device or messaging app. Gets more useful over time
-rather than resetting to zero. Hermes and OpenClaw are the two primary open-source, self-hosted
-tools in this category. OpenClaw is a gateway-centric automation platform; Hermes is a
-self-improving agent that writes and reuses its own procedures from experience.
+The question is not which category a tool belongs to. The question is which combination of
+capabilities you actually need, where that execution lives, and whether the system gets better
+at your specific context over time.

-## How Hermes Compares
+## How Hermes compares
 
 ### vs. OpenClaw
 
-OpenClaw is the most direct comparison to Hermes and the question most people ask first.
-Both are open-source, self-hosted, always-on agents with persistent memory, cron scheduling,
-and messaging app integration. If you're evaluating Hermes, you should evaluate OpenClaw too.

+app integration. If you're evaluating Hermes, evaluate OpenClaw too.
 
-OpenClaw (MIT, ~347k GitHub stars) is built around a **Gateway** control plane written in
-Node.js/TypeScript. It excels at broad personal automation: native Chrome/Chromium control for
-browser automation, the widest messaging platform support in the space (WhatsApp, Telegram,
-Signal, iMessage, LINE, WeChat, Slack, Discord, Teams, Matrix, and more), voice wake words,
-and a ClawHub skill marketplace where users share pre-built automations. The community is large
-and the ecosystem is growing fast.
+OpenClaw (MIT) is built around a Gateway control plane written in Node.js/TypeScript. It has the
+widest messaging coverage in the space — 24+ channels including WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal,
+iMessage, LINE, WeChat, Slack, Discord, Teams, Matrix, Google Chat, Feishu, Mattermost, IRC,
+Nextcloud Talk, and more. It has native Chrome/Chromium control via CDP, voice wake words on
+macOS and iOS, and a ClawHub marketplace with 10,700+ skills. The community is large (350k+
+GitHub stars, 16,900+ commits) and growing.
 
-Hermes takes a different approach. It is built in Python and centers on a **self-improving
-agent loop** rather than a gateway control plane. The core difference is in how skills work:
-OpenClaw skills are primarily human-authored plugins installed from a marketplace; Hermes
-**writes and saves its own skills automatically** as part of every session. When Hermes solves
-a problem a new way, it saves the procedure and reuses it going forward without any user effort.

+reason Hermes gets meaningfully better at your workflow without you maintaining a plugin library.
 
-Beyond the skills architecture, there are two other practical differences worth knowing:
+Two practical differences worth knowing directly:
 
-**Stability.** OpenClaw's community forums and GitHub issues document a recurring pattern of
-update-breaking regressions -- for example, Telegram integration was broken across multiple
-releases in early 2026. The unofficial WhatsApp Web protocol OpenClaw uses is known to
-disconnect and requires periodic re-pairing (this is documented in OpenClaw's own FAQ).
-Hermes has had no equivalent release breakages.
+Stability. OpenClaw's GitHub issues and community forums document recurring update-breaking
+regressions. Telegram integration was broken across multiple releases from early 2026 through
+at least April 2026. The unofficial WhatsApp Web protocol OpenClaw relies on disconnects and
+requires periodic re-pairing — this is in OpenClaw's own FAQ.
 
-**Security.** ClawHub's open publishing model has been exploited repeatedly. A community audit
-identified over a thousand malicious skills in the marketplace including prompt injections and
-tool-poisoning payloads; the community-maintained awesome-openclaw-skills list tracks confirmed
-removals and flags known bad actors. Hermes has no third-party marketplace and a correspondingly
-smaller attack surface.
+Security. ClawHub's open publishing model has been exploited at scale. Three separate audits in
+early 2026 found serious problems: Koi Security (January 2026) linked 335 skills to a campaign
+called "ClawHavoc" that delivered Atomic Stealer malware on macOS; Bitdefender found roughly
+900 malicious packages representing about 20% of the ecosystem at the time; Snyk's "ToxicSkills"
+report (February 2026) found malicious skills across roughly 4,000 scanned packages. China's
+CNCERT issued a national warning about ClawHub. Hermes has no third-party marketplace and a
+correspondingly smaller attack surface.
 
-**OpenClaw's genuine strengths** are worth stating plainly: it has broader messaging coverage
-(iMessage, LINE, WeChat, Teams -- platforms Hermes does not support), native browser and
-computer control via Chrome CDP, voice wake words on macOS and iOS, a larger community, and
-more third-party integrations than Hermes. If those capabilities matter most to you, OpenClaw
-is worth a serious look.

-UI rather than a monitoring dashboard.

 ### vs. Claude Code (Anthropic)
 
-Claude Code is Anthropic's official agentic CLI and one of the best tools in Category 3.
-In a single focused session it is capable -- deep code understanding, shell access, file
-editing, multi-step reasoning.
+Claude Code is Anthropic's official agentic tool and one of the strongest options for focused
+coding sessions. It has deep code understanding, shell access, file editing, and multi-step
+reasoning. It has been expanding rapidly — it now spans terminal, IDE plugin, desktop app, and
+browser surfaces — and the gap is closing in several areas.
 
-Claude Code has been adding features rapidly and the gap is narrowing:
+What Claude Code has that's worth knowing:
 
-- **Hooks system** -- 13 event types (SessionStart, PreToolUse, PostToolUse, Stop, etc.) with
-  4 handler types (shell command, HTTP endpoint, LLM prompt, sub-agent); deterministic
+- Hooks system — 26 event types (SessionStart, PreToolUse, PostToolUse, Stop, and more) with
+  4 handler types (shell command, HTTP endpoint, LLM prompt, sub-agent); gives deterministic
   non-LLM control over the agent lifecycle
-- **Plugins / Skills** -- installable via `/plugin install`, hot-reloaded from `~/.claude/skills`,
-  with a marketplace; skills and slash commands unified as of v2.1.0
-- **Scheduling** -- `/loop` (session-scoped), cloud-managed cron via `claude.ai/code/scheduled`
-  (Anthropic infrastructure, minimum interval applies), and desktop app automations
-- **Messaging channels** -- Telegram, Discord, iMessage, and webhooks via the Channels feature
-  (research preview, v2.1.80+); deep Slack integration that triggers cloud sessions and creates PRs
-- **Claude Cowork** -- a separate product for knowledge workers; connects to 38+
-  services via MCP including Slack, Gmail, Microsoft Teams, Notion, Jira, Salesforce, and more
-- **Memory** -- CLAUDE.md and MEMORY.md for project-level context; auto-memory rolling out
+- Plugins / Skills — installable via `/plugin install`, hot-reloaded from `~/.claude/skills`,
+  with a marketplace; includes the official ralph-wiggum plugin (`/ralph-loop`) for
+  autonomous iteration toward a completion goal (distinct from `/loop`)
+- `/loop` — a native bundled skill, available in every session without any plugin, that runs
+  a prompt on a repeating schedule within an active CLI session (polling/monitoring use case);
+  session-scoped, dies when the terminal closes
+- Scheduling — cloud-managed cron (Anthropic infrastructure, minimum 1-hour interval) and
+  desktop app scheduled tasks (run locally while the app is open, minimum 1-minute interval,
+  full local file access); no self-hosted cron
+- Messaging channels — Telegram, Discord, and iMessage via the Channels feature (research
+  preview, requires Bun runtime); Slack is the most-requested addition and has not yet shipped
+- Memory — CLAUDE.md and MEMORY.md for project-level context; auto-memory since v2.1.59+
+- Claude Cowork — a separate knowledge-worker product connecting 38+ services via MCP
+  including Gmail, Microsoft Teams, Notion, Jira, Salesforce, and more
 
-These are real features. The key differences that remain:
+Claude Code's source was briefly and accidentally made public in March 2026 before being taken
+down. The CLI ships as minified/bundled TypeScript compiled with Bun — it is not open source.
 
-- Claude Code's scheduling runs on **Anthropic's cloud** (or requires the desktop app open),
-  not a self-hosted server; cloud jobs have a minimum interval and your data leaves your hardware
-- Memory is **project-file-based** (CLAUDE.md / MEMORY.md), not a knowledge graph that
-  accumulates automatically across all your work; auto-memory is still rolling out
-- **Not provider-agnostic** -- routes through Bedrock or Vertex but always hits a Claude model;
-  you cannot switch to GPT, Gemini, or a local model
-- **Not open source** -- proprietary; the CLI ships obfuscated JavaScript
-- Messaging channels are a **research preview** requiring Bun runtime; not yet production-grade
+Key differences that remain:
+
+- Scheduling requires cloud (Anthropic infrastructure, data off your hardware, 1-hour minimum)
+  or the desktop app (runs locally, but the app must stay open — not a headless server process);
+  neither runs as a server daemon the way Hermes cron does
+- Memory is project-file-based (CLAUDE.md / MEMORY.md plus rolling auto-memory); it doesn't
+  automatically accumulate a cross-project knowledge graph the way Hermes does
+- Not provider-agnostic — routes through Anthropic, Bedrock, Vertex, or Foundry, but always
+  a Claude model; you can't switch to GPT, Gemini, or a local model
+- Messaging channels are still a research preview, not production
 
 Hermes can use Claude Code as a sub-agent. For large implementation tasks, Hermes can spawn
 Claude Code to handle the heavy lifting and fold the result back into its own memory and history.

-supports 10+ providers including Anthropic, Google, Mistral, Groq, and local models via Ollama.
-It added persistent session memory in v0.100.0 with `codex resume`. The desktop app has an
-Automations feature for scheduled local tasks.
+Codex CLI (Apache 2.0, ~60k GitHub stars) started as a straightforward terminal tool and has
+expanded into a product family. It was rewritten from TypeScript to Rust. It now includes an IDE

-### vs. Cursor / Windsurf / Copilot
+### vs. Cursor
 
-Category 2 tools -- exceptional at in-editor autocomplete, inline diffs, and code review.
-Not competing for the same job as Hermes, and they work well alongside it.
+Cursor has changed substantially. The "no memory, no scheduling, no messaging" description was
+accurate in 2024 and is wrong now.
 
-Windsurf was earliest with workspace-scoped memory (Cascade Memories); Copilot has been
-shipping repo-level memory since late 2025. Cursor has no native cross-session memory as of
-early 2026. None have scheduling or messaging access.
+Memories (per-project cross-session knowledge base) shipped in beta with v1.0 in June 2025.
+Automations launched March 5, 2026 — time-based, event-based (GitHub/Linear/PagerDuty), and
+communication-based (Slack) triggers that fire background agents on cloud VMs. The web app,
+mobile agent, and Slack bot give it multi-surface reach. Cursor v3.0 (April 2, 2026) is
+explicitly agent-first with Design Mode and 30+ marketplace plugins. Cursor acquired Supermaven
+for autocomplete. As of early 2026 it's valued at $29.3B with $2B ARR. It is not a narrow editor
+tool anymore.
+
+Hermes still has a different profile: it's self-hosted and server-resident, the same persistent
+identity follows you across every surface without cloud intermediation, and it works with any
+model family rather than being cloud-VM-based. For workflows that require data sovereignty,
+self-hosted scheduling, or deep Python/ML tooling on your own hardware, Cursor's cloud-agent
+architecture is a fundamental mismatch. For teams that want editor-native agents with strong
+IDE integration, Cursor's recent evolution is significant.

+ChatGPT has Agent Mode (launched July 17, 2025), Scheduled Tasks (January 2025, recurring
+automated prompts), a computer-using agent, Projects, 50+ connectors including Gmail, GitHub,
+and Google Drive, dual-mode memory (auto + manual), and ChatGPT Pulse for Pro users (daily
+research briefings). It is not a passive Q&A interface.
+
+Where Claude.ai and ChatGPT differ from Hermes: neither is self-hosted, neither is
+provider-agnostic, and neither gives you execution on your own hardware. Connectors and
+scheduling exist, but they run on Anthropic's or OpenAI's infrastructure. Your memory, session
+history, and agent execution live on their servers, not yours. For many use cases that's fine
+— they are capable and well-supported. For privacy-conscious users, regulated environments, or
+workflows that require persistent server-side execution on controlled hardware, it's a
+disqualifying constraint.

+5. Drop you into a first-run onboarding wizard inside the WebUI.
+
+> Native Windows is not supported for this bootstrap yet. Use Linux, macOS, or WSL2.

+Sprint 29 Tests: Security hardening — 12 fixes from PR #171.
+
+Covers:
+  1. CSRF protection — cross-origin POST rejected, same-origin allowed
+  2. Login rate limiting — 5th attempt 429, 6th rejected, still works after burst
+  3. Session ID validation — non-hex chars rejected in Session.load()
+  4. Error path sanitization — _sanitize_error() strips filesystem paths
+  5. Secure cookie detection — getattr used safely on plain socket
+  6. HMAC signature length — 32-char hex (128-bit), not 16
+  7. Skills path traversal — path outside SKILLS_DIR rejected
+  8. Content-Disposition for dangerous MIME types — HTML/SVG force download
+  9. PBKDF2 password hashing — save_settings uses auth._hash_password
+  10. Non-loopback startup warning (manual / integration test)
+  11. SSRF DNS check logic (unit test on helper function)
+  12. ENV_LOCK export — _ENV_LOCK importable from streaming module
