What

Bots: an Official extension that switches the sidebar to your Hermes agents, one row per Hermes profile. It is off by default and offered only on a computer where the Hermes CLI is installed. With it off, nothing changes.

  • Switch: botsHidden (default true), a Built-in card under Planning and automation in Settings > Extensions. The card is hidden until hermes is found.
  • Entry: a Hermes button in the last slot of the Space row when Spaces are on, or in the sidebar's top row when they are off. While bots are showing it turns into a back arrow. The mode (sidebarMode) is saved beside the selected Space, and the key is absent in Projects mode, so the envelope of a user who never opens Bots is byte-identical.
  • Bots are ordinary gxserver projects: the path is the profile folder, flagged in launchSettings (isBot, botProfile), the same JSON split the Chats projects use, so there is no schema migration. gxserver adds a missing bot for HERMES_HOME (shown as Hermes) and each HERMES_HOME/profiles/* on start and when you enter Bots. It never deletes one, and a folder already registered as a project stays that project.
  • Bot row: a yellow letter tile and a gateway dot (green running, grey stopped). The dot is read from gateway_state.json with a live-pid check, or from the default gateway's served_profiles for a multiplexed Hermes. gxserver caches it and refreshes it on its 60 s project pass, with no CLI spawn per row. There are no git stats, worktree, PR, history, browser or terminal buttons.
  • Buttons: + launches hermes -p <profile> (plain hermes for the default) in the profile folder. gxserver swaps the bot's command into the ordinary Hermes launch (bot_agent_config), so every client launches a bot the same way, with no agent, model or terminal picker. A bot with no sessions gets a New Session row that does the same, and new sessions are titled after the bot. Edit SOUL and Edit config are fixed buttons that open the bot's own SOUL.md / config.yaml in the Code view. A remote computer's bots don't get them, and the browser build answers with a toast. Actions pinned to project rows show on bot rows too.
  • Right-click a bot: Open in › lists the header Open In targets and opens the profile folder. There are no Add to Group or Spaces rows, since bots belong to no Space and are listed flat.
  • Sessions: they use the usual Sessions and Parked sections and the usual menu. Drag and ghostex move-project step bots only among bots.
  • Outside sessions: with Bots on, Quick Access > Sessions lists Hermes conversations started outside Ghostex, under their bot. They are read read-only from the root store and every profile's state.db, and cover CLI, TUI, Hermes app, Discord and Telegram chats. Resume adds -p <profile> for a profile's session. Left out:
    • child sessions and archived or hidden rows;
    • cron and other automated sources, and sessions nobody wrote in;
    • scripted one-shots: source=oneshot, plus older cli rows from before an install's first oneshot row that lack two human-written user messages;
    • Discord and Telegram threads that only bots wrote in.
  • Hermes hooks cover every profile. When a Hermes config (root or any profile) already has the Ghostex hooks, gxserver installs them into every profile's config.yaml on start, including profiles added later, without a click. This extends the existing repair pass. It is consent-by-existing-install for the marked-YAML/TOML providers only, and JSON providers' profile candidates stay opt-in per file. This runs whether or not Bots is switched on. As with the root config today, a failed write stops the startup repair, and so gxserver's start; Hermes creates its profile configs in the user's own home.
  • Help: a new Bots section in features.md, the outside-sessions and hooks paragraphs updated, and a botsHidden row generated through SUPPLEMENTAL_SETTING_ROWS (bun run help:generate output included).

Why

Hermes agents are long-lived bots, not repos. Until now, a Harry conversation was filed under whichever project happened to be open, and there was no place to see all of one bot's sessions.

Scope

Verification

On this branch, off current main (566380b):

  • bun run typecheck and bun run desktop:typecheck pass (help references up to date).
  • bunx vitest run packages/shared packages/core-ui passes 617 of 617.
  • cargo test --lib in server/: 824 passed, 2 failed. Both failing tests also fail on clean main and touch nothing here: select_remote_code_server_never_falls_through_to_monaco_or_machine_editor and decodes_real_codex_transcript_when_present. New tests cover bot discovery and sync, the launch swap, gateway state, the settings gate, resume -p, the outside-session filters and hooks across profiles.
  • cargo check passes in packages/gx-core and in apps/desktop (against main's submodule pins).
  • bun run web:build passes (wasm crate and Vite).

Tried by hand in the running desktop app, over several rounds:

  • switching Bots on and off, and the Space-row entry button;
  • the back arrow;
  • a bot's + and New Session, with titles named after the bot;
  • drag among bots;
  • Edit SOUL and Edit config;
  • park, rename and tag;
  • Open in;
  • resuming an outside Hermes session from Quick Access on the first Enter.

The menu rows dropped for bots and the missing Edit buttons on remote bots were checked with a gx-core probe that printed the menus, not by hand.

Note

Add SidebarMode "Bots": sidebar mode listing Hermes agent projects

  • Adds a Bots sidebar mode that lists Hermes bot projects as a flat list, toggled by a Hermes button in the Space row or top row. Bots is disabled by default and gated by the botsHidden setting plus a detected hermes-agent CLI. The mode is persisted through sidebarMode in the sidebar UI state.
  • Server-side synchronization discovers Hermes profiles under the Hermes home, creates missing bot projects, and publishes them via the new /api/syncBotProjects endpoint and startup task. Bot launches and resumes use profile-specific Hermes commands, and the gateway-running state is periodically refreshed.
  • Bot rows get dedicated presentation: Hermes-colored letter tiles, gateway status dots, Edit SOUL/Edit config menu actions, and an Open In submenu. Bot projects skip Space membership, drag-to-Space, and Space wheel navigation.
  • Hermes conversations are imported into external-session discovery, keyed by agent home. Agent-hook install, inspect, and uninstall for Hermes now cover every profile configuration file, not just the first.
  • Behavioral Change: bot_projects.rs recognizes bots only via isBot: true plus valid botProfile; the agent-hook multi-path handling in install.rs changes inspect/repair results for existing multi-file Hermes configurations. Selecting a Space from Bots mode now resets the sidebar to Projects mode.

  • line 19: When the connection disappears, the effect returns at if (!connection ...) without clearing installed, so it retains the prior connection's successful CLI detections.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added an optional Bots sidebar mode for browsing Hermes profiles, starting sessions, and viewing gateway status. Bots stay separate from Projects and Spaces.
    • Added bot project menus with pinned actions and Open in options. Local bot files can open in the Code view; the browser app explains when editing requires the desktop app.
    • Added discovery of eligible Hermes conversations from outside the app.
    • Added support for installing and repairing Hermes hooks across profile configurations.
  • Improvements

    • Bot session titles use the profile name when available.
    • Built-in extensions that require an agent CLI appear only when that CLI is installed.
    • Sidebar mode selection is remembered.

An Official extension (botsHidden, off by default, offered only where the
Hermes CLI is installed) that swaps the sidebar to one row per Hermes profile:
a Hermes button in the Space row or top bar, bot rows with a gateway dot,
Edit SOUL and Edit config in the Code view, pinned Actions, a "+" that runs
`hermes -p <profile>`, Open in on the right-click menu, and bot-only drag and
move-project. gxserver adds bot projects, swaps the launch command, reads the
gateway state, imports Hermes conversations started outside Ghostex under
their bot, resumes them with -p, and installs the Hermes hooks into every
profile once any Hermes config has them. Help gains a Bots section.

Suggested reviewers: maddada

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to b14d2

Bots can show the wrong profile or omit conversations and hooks under supported conditions. Resolve those behavior gaps before merging; the smaller sidebar and responsiveness issues can be addressed alongside them.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to b14d2

Bots is off by default, and existing projects are not automatically converted into bots. The main risk is that interrupted profile setup can leave stored project or hook state inconsistent with what the app shows. The reviewed paths do not establish an externally reachable file-opening bypass.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: Profile-wide hook installation can report configuration as current after an approval write fails, leaving execution authority out of step with the installed hook and preventing automatic repair from retrying it. The status-check gap also existed for the former single-config path; this PR expands the affected lifecycle to Hermes profile configs.
  • Low · reliability · inferred: Bot sync persists profiles one at a time but publishes additions only after the entire insertion pass succeeds. A later failure can leave an earlier bot project stored without its project-added notification; a serial retry skips that stored path rather than publishing it as a new addition.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The demonstrated authority expansion is local to a user's Hermes profile configurations and server-owned project inventory, but the resulting project and sidebar state is consumed across clients. No unauthenticated remote entry into the inspected native file-opening path is established.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — No verified Security finding was retained. The file-opening candidate remains deferred: the handler accepts supplied paths, but the inspected command producer uses fixed bot filenames and the identified dispatch route is native; untrusted renderer reachability has not been proved.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Bot launch configuration is restricted to marked Hermes projects; the desktop bot-launch message fixes the agent ID to hermes-agent. Hook inspection checks installed config markers but not the allowlist approval needed for the corresponding hook authority.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Uninstall withdraws Hermes approvals and removes marked blocks, but unmarked commands recognized as Ghostex-owned can remain. That cleanup limitation predates profile-wide installation; applying the lifecycle to more configs increases the number of places where such residual state may need reconciliation.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Make hook health depend on both configuration and effective approval state, and reconcile that state after interrupted profile-wide writes.
  • proposed — Reconcile presentation from persisted bot projects after a failed or repeated sync, rather than relying only on the newly added rows returned by one successful pass.

🟡 Medium native_sidebar/selectors.rs:60

At 200% scale with the sidebar at its 190px minimum, capacity.max(2.0) reserves two 28px row slots even though the Bots slot also needs 33px, so the flex_shrink_0 children require 194px and overflow the row by at least 4px. This clips the Bots entry or a Space tile whenever a user Space is displayed; calculate capacity including the Bots slot without forcing an invalid minimum, and handle the resulting low-capacity case without underflowing capacity - 2.

The first discover call can permanently miss existing Hermes conversations for the process lifetime. start_bot_project_sync runs asynchronously, so read_bot_conversations skips profiles whose projects are not created yet; this call then records paths.state_db_file in SCANNED, causing later listPreviousSessions calls to return before retrying.

🟡 Medium src/bot_projects.rs:216

Concurrent sync_bot_projects calls create duplicate bot projects for the same profile, leaving duplicate sidebar rows and divergent state. Each call snapshots projects once, checks that snapshot without an atomic path claim, and then inserts; because projects.path is not unique, startup synchronization and /api/syncBotProjects can both pass the check before either insert. Serialize synchronization or enforce path uniqueness atomically.

server/src/server/bot_sync.rs:29

sync_and_publish_bot_projects performs check-then-create synchronization without serializing concurrent callers. Startup invokes it in spawn_blocking while entering Bots can invoke /api/syncBotProjects; both can observe a profile path as absent and then add_project_path can insert it. The projects.path schema has no uniqueness constraint, so this race creates duplicate bot projects for the same Hermes profile and publishes both rows.

server/src/server/mod.rs:1270

sync_and_publish_bot_projects is invoked for every request without serialization. Two simultaneous /api/syncBotProjects calls can both observe a profile as absent and reach DomainRepository::create_project before either insert; the projects.path column has no unique constraint. This permanently creates two bot projects for the same profile (and publishes both), leaving duplicate sidebar rows and divergent project/session state for one folder.

server/src/server/mod.rs:586

Starting start_bot_project_sync detached allows it to overlap with a client's /api/syncBotProjects request as soon as the listener starts. Both executions snapshot projects and then perform check-then-insert path registration without a transaction or a unique constraint on projects.path; if they both read before either insert, they create separate bot rows for the same profile.

In file @server/src/bot_projects.rs around line 216:

Concurrent `sync_bot_projects` calls create duplicate bot projects for the same profile, leaving duplicate sidebar rows and divergent state. Each call snapshots `projects` once, checks that snapshot without an atomic path claim, and then inserts; because `projects.path` is not unique, startup synchronization and `/api/syncBotProjects` can both pass the check before either insert. Serialize synchronization or enforce path uniqueness atomically.

Also found in 3 other location(s):
- server/src/server/bot_sync.rs:29 -- `sync_and_publish_bot_projects` performs check-then-create synchronization without serializing concurrent callers. Startup invokes it in `spawn_blocking` while entering Bots can invoke `/api/syncBotProjects`; both can observe a profile path as absent and then `add_project_path` can insert it. The `projects.path` schema has no uniqueness constraint, so this race creates duplicate bot projects for the same Hermes profile and publishes both rows.
- server/src/server/mod.rs:1270 -- `sync_and_publish_bot_projects` is invoked for every request without serialization. Two simultaneous `/api/syncBotProjects` calls can both observe a profile as absent and reach `DomainRepository::create_project` before either insert; the `projects.path` column has no unique constraint. This permanently creates two bot projects for the same profile (and publishes both), leaving duplicate sidebar rows and divergent project/session state for one folder.
- server/src/server/mod.rs:586 -- Starting `start_bot_project_sync` detached allows it to overlap with a client's `/api/syncBotProjects` request as soon as the listener starts. Both executions snapshot `projects` and then perform check-then-insert path registration without a transaction or a unique constraint on `projects.path`; if they both read before either insert, they create separate bot rows for the same profile. Serialize the startup pass with the endpoint or enforce path uniqueness atomically.

Match the accessible label to the button action.

When Bots mode is active, the button returns to Projects, but its accessible label remains “Bots”. Use the mode-dependent tooltip text as the label so the action is clear in both modes.

Clear installed CLI state when the connection disappears.

If a successful read marks Hermes as installed and the connection later disappears, this return leaves the old installed set in place. The Bots card remains visible even though CLI availability can no longer be established. Clear the set when connection is absent; also clear the previous connection’s result while a new connection is being checked.

Refresh cached CLI results after an installation change.

If the first read finds no Hermes executable, the cache retains false. Installing Hermes and reopening Extensions reuses that result, so Bots remains unavailable for the rest of the app session. Give cached results an invalidation path, or recheck them when Extensions opens.

Classify bot subgroups with their parent bot.

A bot-owned subgroup can appear only under Projects > Other. Its plan has no project context, so it is excluded from Bots mode. The Space filter also hides unresolved user-made groups from every named Space. The subgroup retains its built session rows, so this is a discoverability and filtering issue, not a blocked bot session workflow. Classify subgroup plans by their owning project before applying the mode and Space filters.

Preserve the unavailable state in Bots mode.

If the local daemon becomes unavailable while Bots mode is selected, ready can become true through unavailable.since_ms. This branch then reports “No Hermes profiles found.” with error: false, instead of reporting the load failure. Keep the loading and error handling from empty_state() and change only its copy for a successfully loaded, empty Bots list.

NousResearch hermes-agent official profiles documentation SOUL.md .env config.yaml profile identity

💡 Result:

If you’re looking for the **official NousResearch Hermes Agent docs** on profiles and identity:

- **Profiles:** Each profile is an independent Hermes home with its own `config.yaml`, `.env`, `SOUL.md`, memory, sessions, skills, and gateway state. The default home is `~/.hermes`; named profiles live under `~/.hermes/profiles/<name>/`. ([github.com](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/blob/main/website/docs/user-guide/profiles.md?utm_source=openai))
- **What each file does:** `SOUL.md` defines the agent’s identity, tone, and communication style; `config.yaml` holds settings such as model and tools; `.env` holds API keys and other secrets. ([github.com](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/blob/main/website/docs/user-guide/features/personality.md?utm_source=openai))
- **Profile commands:** The official guide covers creating, cloning, switching, and configuring profiles. A clone can copy config, credentials, `SOUL.md`, skills, and selected memory files. ([github.com](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/blob/main/website/docs/user-guide/profiles.md?utm_source=openai))
- **Identity nuance:** `SOUL.md` is loaded from the active `HERMES_HOME`, not the project directory. Use `AGENTS.md` for project-specific instructions. ([github.com](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/blob/main/website/docs/user-guide/features/context-files.md?utm_source=openai))

Official docs: **Profiles**, **Personality & SOUL.md**, and **Use SOUL.md with Hermes**. ([github.com](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/blob/main/website/docs/user-guide/profiles.md?utm_source=openai))

Include identity-backed Hermes profiles when resolving hook paths.

Hermes recognizes a profile with SOUL.md or .env even when config.yaml is absent. The current path.is_file() filter drops that profile. The marked-YAML installer creates the parent directory and writes config.yaml, so it can create the missing file during hook installation or repair. Keep directories without config.yaml, SOUL.md, and .env excluded.

Discovery and sync can use different Hermes homes.

Discovery uses isolated_agent_home_dir/.hermes when that directory is set. bot_sync always calls hermes_home(). With an isolated home, sync creates projects for one Hermes home, and discovery reads profiles from a different home. The project paths do not match, so discovery imports nothing. Use one resolver in both places.

Refresh external sessions after bot synchronization.

start_bot_project_sync runs asynchronously. A concurrent first /api/listPreviousSessions request can scan before the bot project exists, skip the Hermes conversation, and mark the database as scanned. Later normal requests do not rescan. Quick Access refreshes only when the user enters External scope, so the conversation can remain absent from the normal session list until that action.

Run /api/syncBotProjects on a blocking thread.

When Bots is enabled, this route calls synchronous handle_domain_http from async route_http. The handler opens SQLite and runs the callback inline. The callback scans HERMES_HOME/profiles, lists projects, and can add missing projects to SQLite. Wrap the request-side handle_domain_http call in tokio::task::spawn_blocking and await it, matching /api/listPreviousSessions.

🌐 Web query:

official Hermes Agent documentation hermes profile use sticky default plain hermes -p profile

💡 Result:

According to the official Hermes Agent docs:

- **Make a profile the sticky default** for future plain `hermes` commands:
  ```bash
  hermes profile use <profile>
  hermes chat
  ```
  Switch back with `hermes profile use default`. ([github.com](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/blob/main/website/docs/user-guide/profiles.md?utm_source=openai))

- **Use a profile for one command only** without changing that default:
  ```bash
  hermes -p <profile> chat
  ```
  `-p` can also be placed after the subcommand, such as `hermes chat -p <profile>`. ([github.com](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/blob/main/website/docs/user-guide/profiles.md?utm_source=openai))

Pass default explicitly to Hermes.

The default bot launch and resume paths use plain hermes commands. After hermes profile use <profile>, those commands can target the sticky profile instead of Ghostex's default bot. Use hermes -p default and hermes -p default --resume <session-id> in both paths, then document those commands here.
