Salvage of #14808 by @0xbyt4, cherry-picked onto current main (10 commits, authorship preserved).

Summary

TUI voice mode reaches parity with the classic CLI. Before this PR the TUI voice pipeline was broken three ways:

  1. Ctrl+B did nothing on macOSisAction() in ui-tui/src/lib/platform.ts only accepts Cmd (key.meta || key.super), so raw Ctrl+B fell through to TextInput and landed a literal b in the composer. Reported by timmie in Discord.
  2. Gateway RPC was dead codetui_gateway/server.py imported hermes_cli.voice.{start_recording,stop_and_transcribe,speak_text} but hermes_cli/voice.py never existed. Every voice.record/voice.tts call returned 'voice module not available' even with all audio deps installed.
  3. Model drift — TUI was push-to-talk, CLI is VAD-driven continuous (/voice on then Ctrl+B starts auto-stop → transcribe → submit → auto-restart, 3 silent cycles halt).

Changes

  • New hermes_cli/voice.py (548 lines): PTT API + VAD-continuous loop wrapping tools.voice_mode + tools.tts_tool. Mirrors cli.py:_voice_* — 880 Hz start beep, 660 Hz×2 stop beep, 3-strikes silence halt, _tts_playing Event to break TTS→STT feedback loop.
  • tui_gateway/server.py: voice.toggle with on/off/tts/status subcommands (status surfaces STT provider availability); voice.record drives the continuous loop; auto-TTS on message.complete when enabled; runtime-only state (no config.yaml persistence so TUI doesn't auto-REC next launch).
  • tui_gateway/entry.py: SIGPIPE SIG_DFLSIG_IGN (background threads writing to broken pipes no longer silently kill the gateway — write_json catches BrokenPipeError cleanly); signal/exit crash logging to ~/.hermes/logs/tui_gateway_crash.log.
  • TUI (TypeScript): new isVoiceToggleKey accepting raw Ctrl+B everywhere + Cmd+B on macOS, TextInput passes Ctrl+B through, event handler wires voice.status/voice.transcript with auto-submit, status bar gets red ● REC / amber ◉ STT badges.

Validation

Before After
Ctrl+B on macOS TUI types b toggles VAD loop
voice.record RPC ImportError every call drives VAD continuous loop
voice.tts RPC ImportError speaks agent reply, mic paused during playback
Gateway background-thread stderr SIGPIPE kills process BrokenPipeError, clean exit via write_json
TUI restart with voice previously on auto-REC (stale config) starts OFF (CLI parity)
  • 12/12 tests/hermes_cli/test_voice_wrapper.py pass under hermetic CI runner
  • 47/47 tests/tui_gateway/ pass (no regressions from panic hook / SIGPIPE change)
  • 244 TypeScript vitest tests pass on contributor's side (ui-tui/)
  • hermes_cli.voice imports clean against current tools.voice_mode exports

Closes #14808.

When the user runs /voice and then presses Ctrl+B in the TUI, three
handlers collaborate to consume the chord and none of them dispatch
voice.record:

- isAction() is platform-aware — on macOS it requires Cmd (meta/super),
  so Ctrl+B fails the match in useInputHandlers and never triggers
  voiceStart/voiceStop.
- TextInput's Ctrl+B pass-through list doesn't include 'b', so the
  keystroke falls through to the wordMod backward-word branch on Linux
  and to the printable-char insertion branch on macOS — the latter is
  exactly what timmie reported ("enters a b into the tui").
- /voice emits "voice: on" with no hint, so the user has no way to
  know Ctrl+B is the recording toggle.

Introduces isVoiceToggleKey(key, ch) in lib/platform.ts that matches
raw Ctrl+B on every platform (mirrors tips.py and config.yaml's
voice.record_key default) and additionally accepts Cmd+B on macOS so
existing muscle memory keeps working. Wires it into useInputHandlers,
adds Ctrl+B to TextInput's pass-through list so the global handler
actually receives the chord, and appends "press Ctrl+B to record" to
the /voice on message.

Empirically verified with hermes --tui: Ctrl+B no longer leaks 'b'
into the composer and now dispatches the voice.record RPC (the
downstream ImportError for hermes_cli.voice is a separate upstream
bug — follow-up patch).
tui_gateway/server.py:3486/3491/3509 imports start_recording,
stop_and_transcribe, and speak_text from hermes_cli.voice, but the
module never existed (not in git history — never shipped, never
deleted). Every voice.record / voice.tts RPC call hit the ImportError
branch and the TUI surfaced it as "voice module not available — install
audio dependencies" even on boxes with sounddevice / faster-whisper /
numpy installed.

Adds a thin wrapper on top of tools.voice_mode (recording +
transcription) and tools.tts_tool (text-to-speech):

- start_recording() — idempotent; stores the active AudioRecorder in a
  module-global guarded by a Lock so repeat Ctrl+B presses don't fight
  over the mic.
- stop_and_transcribe() — returns None for no-op / no-speech /
  Whisper-hallucination cases so the TUI's existing "no speech detected"
  path keeps working unchanged.
- speak_text(text) — lazily imports tts_tool (optional provider SDKs
  stay unloaded until the first /voice tts call), parses the tool's
  JSON result, and plays the audio via play_audio_file.

Paired with the Ctrl+B keybinding fix in the prior commit, the TUI
voice pipeline now works end-to-end for the first time.
The TUI had drifted from the CLI's voice model in two ways:

- /voice on was lighting up the microphone immediately and Ctrl+B was
  interpreted as a mode toggle.  The CLI separates the two: /voice on
  just flips the umbrella bit, recording only starts once the user
  presses Ctrl+B, which also sets _voice_continuous so the VAD loop
  auto-restarts until the user presses Ctrl+B again or three silent
  cycles pass.
- /voice tts was missing entirely, so users couldn't turn agent reply
  speech on/off from inside the TUI.

This commit brings the TUI to parity.

Python

- hermes_cli/voice.py: continuous-mode API (start_continuous,
  stop_continuous, is_continuous_active) layered on the existing PTT
  wrappers. The silence callback transcribes, fires on_transcript,
  tracks consecutive no-speech cycles, and auto-restarts — mirroring
  cli.py:_voice_stop_and_transcribe + _restart_recording.
- tui_gateway/server.py:
  - voice.toggle now supports on / off / tts / status.  The umbrella
    bit lives in HERMES_VOICE + display.voice_enabled; tts lives in
    HERMES_VOICE_TTS + display.voice_tts.  /voice off also tears down
    any active continuous loop so a toggle-off really releases the
    microphone.
  - voice.record start/stop now drives start_continuous/stop_continuous.
    start is refused with a clear error when the mode is off, matching
    cli.py:handle_voice_record's early return on `not _voice_mode`.
  - New voice.transcript / voice.status events emit through
    _voice_emit (remembers the sid that last enabled the mode so
    events land in the right session).

TypeScript

- gatewayTypes.ts: voice.status + voice.transcript event
  discriminants; VoiceToggleResponse gains tts; VoiceRecordResponse
  gains status for the new "started/stopped" responses.
- interfaces.ts: GatewayEventHandlerContext gains composer.setInput +
  submission.submitRef + voice.{setRecording, setProcessing,
  setVoiceEnabled}; InputHandlerContext.voice gains enabled +
  setVoiceEnabled for the mode-aware Ctrl+B handler.
- createGatewayEventHandler.ts: voice.status drives REC/STT badges;
  voice.transcript auto-submits when the composer is empty (CLI
  _pending_input.put parity) and appends when a draft is in flight.
  no_speech_limit flips voice off + sys line.
- useInputHandlers.ts: Ctrl+B now calls voice.record (start/stop),
  not voice.toggle, and nudges the user with a sys line when the
  mode is off instead of silently flipping it on.
- useMainApp.ts: wires the new event-handler context fields.
- slash/commands/session.ts: /voice handles on / off / tts / status
  with CLI-matching output ("voice: mode on · tts off").

Backward compat preserved for voice.record (was always PTT shape;
gateway still honours start/stop with mode-gating added).
Three issues surfaced during end-to-end testing of the CLI-parity voice
loop and are fixed together because they all blocked "speak → agent
responds → TTS reads it back" from working at all:

1. Wrong result key (hermes_cli/voice.py)

   transcribe_recording() returns {"success": bool, "transcript": str},
   matching cli.py:_voice_stop_and_transcribe. The wrapper was reading
   result.get("text"), which is None, so every successful Groq / local
   STT response was thrown away and the 3-strikes halt fired after
   three silent-looking cycles. Fixed by reading "transcript" and also
   honouring "success" like the CLI does. Updated the loop simulation
   tests to return the correct shape.

2. TTS speak-back was missing (tui_gateway/server.py + hermes_cli/voice.py)

   The TUI had a voice.toggle "tts" subcommand but nothing downstream
   actually read the flag — agent replies never spoke. Mirrored
   cli.py:8747-8754's dispatch: on message.complete with status ==
   "complete", if _voice_tts_enabled() is true, spawn a daemon thread
   running speak_text(response). Rewrote speak_text as a full port of
   cli.py:_voice_speak_response — same markdown-strip regex pipeline
   (code blocks, links, bold/italic, inline code, headers, list bullets,
   horizontal rules, excessive newlines), same 4000-char cap, same
   explicit mp3 output path, same MP3-over-OGG playback choice (afplay
   misbehaves on OGG), same cleanup of both extensions. Keeps TUI TTS
   audible output byte-for-byte identical to the classic CLI.

3. Auto-submit swallowed on non-empty composer (createGatewayEventHandler.ts)

   The voice.transcript handler branched on prev input via a setInput
   updater and fired submitRef.current inside the updater when prev was
   empty. React strict mode double-invokes state updaters, which would
   queue the submit twice; and when the composer had any content the
   transcript was merely appended — the agent never saw it. CLI
   _pending_input.put(transcript) unconditionally feeds the transcript
   as the next turn, so match that: always clear the composer and
   setTimeout(() => submitRef.current(text), 0) outside any updater.
   Side effect can't run twice this way, and a half-typed draft on the
   rare occasion is a fair trade vs. silently dropping the turn.

Also added peak_rms to the rec.stop debug line so "recording too quiet"
is diagnosable at a glance when HERMES_VOICE_DEBUG=1.
TTS feedback loop (hermes_cli/voice.py)

The VAD loop kept the microphone live while speak_text played the
agent's reply over the speakers, so the reply itself was picked up,
transcribed, and submitted — the agent then replied to its own echo
("Ha, looks like we're in a loop").

Ported cli.py:_voice_tts_done synchronisation:

- _tts_playing: threading.Event (initially set = "not playing").
- speak_text cancels the active recorder before opening the speakers,
  clears _tts_playing, and on exit waits 300 ms before re-starting the
  recorder — long enough for the OS audio device to settle so afplay
  and sounddevice don't race for it.
- _continuous_on_silence now waits on _tts_playing (up to 60 s) before
  re-arming the mic with another 300 ms gap, mirroring
  cli.py:10619-10621.  If the user flips voice off during the wait the
  loop exits cleanly instead of fighting for the device.

Without both halves the loop races: if the silence callback fires
before TTS starts it re-arms immediately; if TTS is already playing
the pause-and-resume path catches it.

Red REC badge (ui-tui appChrome + useMainApp)

Classic CLI (cli.py:_get_voice_status_fragments) renders "● REC" in
red and "◉ STT" in amber.  TUI was showing a dim "REC" with no dot,
making it hard to spot at a glance.  voiceLabel now emits the same
glyphs and appChrome colours them via t.color.error / t.color.warn,
falling back to dim for the idle label.
…rash.log

When the gateway subprocess raises an unhandled exception during a
voice-mode turn, nothing survives: stdout is the JSON-RPC pipe, stderr
flushes but the process is already exiting, and no log file catches
Python's default traceback print.  The user is left with an
undiagnosable "gateway exited" banner.

Install:

- sys.excepthook → write full traceback to tui_gateway_crash.log +
  echo the first line to stderr (which the TUI pumps into
  Activity as a gateway.stderr event).  Chains to the default hook so
  the process still terminates.
- threading.excepthook → same, tagged with the thread name so it's
  clear when the crash came from a daemon thread (beep playback, TTS,
  silence callback, etc.).
- Turn-dispatcher except block now also appends a traceback to the
  crash log before emitting the user-visible error event — str(e)
  alone was too terse to identify where in the voice pipeline the
  failure happened.

Zero behavioural change on the happy path; purely forensics.
Gateway exits weren't reaching the panic hook because entry.py calls
sys.exit(0) on broken stdout — clean termination, no exception.  That
left "gateway exited" in the TUI with zero forensic trail when pipe
breaks happened mid-turn.

Entry.py now tags each exit path — startup-write failure, parse-error-
response write failure, per-method response write failure, stdin EOF —
with a one-line entry in ~/.hermes/logs/tui_gateway_crash.log and a
gateway.stderr breadcrumb.  Includes the JSON-RPC method name on the
dispatch path, which is the only way to tell "died right after handling
voice.toggle on" from "died emitting the second message.complete".
SIG_DFL for SIGPIPE means the kernel reaps the gateway subprocess the
instant a background thread (TTS playback, silence callback, voice
status emitter) writes to a stdout the TUI stopped reading — before
the Python interpreter can run excepthook, threading.excepthook,
atexit, or the entry.py post-loop _log_exit.

Replace the three SIG_DFL / SIG_IGN bindings with a _log_signal
handler that:

- records which signal (SIGPIPE / SIGTERM / SIGHUP) fired and when;
- dumps the main-thread stack at signal delivery AND every live
  thread's stack via sys._current_frames — the background-thread
  write that provoked SIGPIPE is almost always visible here;
- writes everything to ~/.hermes/logs/tui_gateway_crash.log and prints
  a [gateway-signal] breadcrumb to stderr so the TUI Activity surfaces
  it as well.

SIGINT stays ignored (TUI handles Ctrl+C for the user).
Crash-log stack trace (tui_gateway_crash.log) from the user's session
pinned the regression: SIGPIPE arrived while main thread was blocked on
for-raw-in-sys.stdin — i.e., a background thread (debug print to stderr,
most likely from HERMES_VOICE_DEBUG=1) wrote to a pipe whose buffer the
TUI hadn't drained yet, and SIG_DFL promptly killed the process.

Two fixes that together restore CLI parity:

- entry.py: SIGPIPE → SIG_IGN instead of the _log_signal handler that
  then exited. With SIG_IGN, Python raises BrokenPipeError on the
  offending write, which write_json already handles with a clean exit
  via _log_exit. SIGTERM / SIGHUP still route through _log_signal so
  real termination signals remain diagnosable.

- hermes_cli/voice.py:_debug: wrap the stderr print in a BrokenPipeError
  / OSError try/except. This runs from daemon threads (silence callback,
  TTS playback, beep), so a broken stderr must not escape and ride up
  into the main event loop.

Verified by spawning the gateway subprocess locally:
  voice.toggle status → 200 OK, process stays alive, clean exit on
  stdin close logs "reason=stdin EOF" instead of a silent reap.
The voice.toggle handler was persisting display.voice_enabled /
display.voice_tts to config.yaml, so a TUI session that ever turned
voice on would re-open with it already on (and the mic badge lit) on
every subsequent launch.  cli.py treats voice strictly as runtime
state: _voice_mode = False at __init__, only /voice on flips it, and
nothing writes it back to disk.

Drop the _write_config_key calls in voice.toggle on/off/tts and the
config.yaml fallback in _voice_mode_enabled / _voice_tts_enabled.
State is now env-var-only (HERMES_VOICE / HERMES_VOICE_TTS), scoped to
the live gateway subprocess — the next launch starts clean.

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).
