Salvages #14054 onto current main. Drops the stray pr-body.md artifact; authorship preserved on the cherry-picked commit.

Summary

Web tools, browser, vision URL fetch, and gateway media downloads now work on networks where DNS resolves public domains to private/benchmark-range IPs (OpenWrt, TUN-mode proxies, corporate split-tunnel VPNs, Tailscale), via a single opt-in toggle. Cloud metadata endpoints stay blocked either way.

Reported by @keri in Discord: nslookup nousresearch.com → 198.18.23.183 → blocked by SSRF guard.

Toggle (priority order)

  1. HERMES_ALLOW_PRIVATE_URLS=true
  2. security.allow_private_urls: true in config.yaml
  3. browser.allow_private_urls: true (legacy fallback)

Always-blocked (even with toggle on)

  • metadata.google.internal, metadata.goog — string match, pre-DNS
  • 169.254.169.254 AWS/GCP/Azure/DO/Oracle, 169.254.170.2 ECS IAM creds, 169.254.169.253 Azure IMDS, 100.100.100.200 Alibaba, fd00:ec2::254 AWS IPv6
  • Entire 169.254.0.0/16 link-local range

Changes

  • tools/url_safety.py: _global_allow_private_urls() (cached), expanded _ALWAYS_BLOCKED_IPS, new _ALWAYS_BLOCKED_NETWORKS for link-local /16
  • hermes_cli/config.py: security.allow_private_urls: False in DEFAULT_CONFIG
  • tests/tools/test_url_safety.py: +37 tests (toggle mechanics + metadata-always-blocked integration)

Validation

  • 78/78 tests/tools/test_url_safety.py pass
  • E2E verified with real imports + isolated HERMES_HOME, 9 scenarios: keri's 198.18.23.183 case allowed with toggle, all 6 metadata paths blocked with toggle on, config.yaml + legacy browser fallback both work, default-off behavior unchanged

Supersedes #3779 (narrower HERMES_ALLOW_RFC2544 env var — same class of users, replaced by the broader toggle).

feat(security): add global toggle to allow private/internal URL resol…
564ba31 
…ution

Adds security.allow_private_urls / HERMES_ALLOW_PRIVATE_URLS toggle so
users on OpenWrt routers, TUN-mode proxies (Clash/Mihomo/Sing-box),
corporate split-tunnel VPNs, and Tailscale networks — where DNS resolves
public domains to 198.18.0.0/15 or 100.64.0.0/10 — can use web_extract,
browser, vision URL fetching, and gateway media downloads.

Single toggle in tools/url_safety.py; all 23 is_safe_url() call sites
inherit automatically. Cached for process lifetime.

Cloud metadata endpoints stay ALWAYS blocked regardless of the toggle:
169.254.169.254 (AWS/GCP/Azure/DO/Oracle), 169.254.170.2 (AWS ECS task
IAM creds), 169.254.169.253 (Azure IMDS wire server), 100.100.100.200
(Alibaba), fd00:ec2::254 (AWS IPv6), the entire 169.254.0.0/16
link-local range, and the metadata.google.internal / metadata.goog
hostnames (checked pre-DNS so they can't be bypassed on networks where
those names resolve to local IPs).

Supersedes #3779 (narrower HERMES_ALLOW_RFC2544 for the same class of
users).

…ers (#17727)

Covers ~60 merged PRs from Apr 15–29 that shipped user-visible behavior
without docs coverage. No functional code changes; docs + static manifest
regeneration only.

Highlights:

Stale / incorrect:
- configuration.md: auxiliary auto-routing line was wrong since #11900;
  now correctly states auto routes to the main model, with a note on the
  cost trade-off and per-task override pattern.
- integrations/providers.md + configuration.md compression intro:
  removed stale 'Gemini Flash via OpenRouter' claim.
- website/static/api/model-catalog.json: rebuilt from hermes_cli/models.py
  so the live manifest picks up tencent/hy3-preview (and remains in sync
  for future model-catalog PRs).

Platform messaging (#17417 #16997 #16193 #14315 #13151 #11794 #10610
#10283 #10246 #11564 #13178):
- Signal: native formatting (bodyRanges), reply quotes, reactions.
- Telegram: table rendering (bullets + code-block fallback),
  disable_link_previews, group_allowed_chats.
- Slack: strict_mention config.
- Discord: slash_commands disable, send_animation GIF, send_message
  native media attachments.
- DingTalk: require_mention + allowed_users.

CLI (#16052 #16539 #16566 #15841 #14798 #10043):
- New 'hermes fallback' interactive manager.
- New 'hermes update --check', '--backup' flag, and pre-update pairing
  snapshot behavior.
- 'hermes gateway start/restart --all' multi-profile flag.
- cron.md: 'hermes tools' as a platform, per-job enabled_toolsets,
  wakeAgent gate, context_from chaining.

Config keys / env vars (#17305 #17026 #17000 #15077 #14557 #14227

  skills.guard_agent_created, TAVILY_BASE_URL,
  security.allow_private_urls, agent.api_max_retries,
  gateway hot-reload of compression/context_length config edits.

  styles, ctrl-x queued-message delete, git branch in status bar, per-
  prompt elapsed stopwatch, external-editor keybind, markdown stripping,
  TUI voice-mode parity, /agents overlay, /reload + /mouse.

Gateway features (#16506 #15027 #13428 #12116):
- Native multimodal image routing based on vision capability.
- /usage account-limits section.
- /steer slash command (added to reference + explanation in CLI).

Plugins / hooks (#12929 #12972 #10763 #16364):

docs: two-week gap sweep — platforms, CLI, config, TUI, hooks, provid…
e1e9268 
…ers (NousResearch#17727)

Covers ~60 merged PRs from Apr 15–29 that shipped user-visible behavior
without docs coverage. No functional code changes; docs + static manifest
regeneration only.

Highlights:

Stale / incorrect:
- configuration.md: auxiliary auto-routing line was wrong since NousResearch#11900;
  now correctly states auto routes to the main model, with a note on the
  cost trade-off and per-task override pattern.
- integrations/providers.md + configuration.md compression intro:
  removed stale 'Gemini Flash via OpenRouter' claim.
- website/static/api/model-catalog.json: rebuilt from hermes_cli/models.py
  so the live manifest picks up tencent/hy3-preview (and remains in sync
  for future model-catalog PRs).

- Signal: native formatting (bodyRanges), reply quotes, reactions.
- Telegram: table rendering (bullets + code-block fallback),
  disable_link_previews, group_allowed_chats.
- Slack: strict_mention config.
- Discord: slash_commands disable, send_animation GIF, send_message
  native media attachments.
- DingTalk: require_mention + allowed_users.

CLI (NousResearch#16052 NousResearch#16539 NousResearch#16566 NousResearch#15841 NousResearch#14798 NousResearch#10043):
- New 'hermes fallback' interactive manager.
- New 'hermes update --check', '--backup' flag, and pre-update pairing
  snapshot behavior.
- 'hermes gateway start/restart --all' multi-profile flag.
- cron.md: 'hermes tools' as a platform, per-job enabled_toolsets,
  wakeAgent gate, context_from chaining.
