fix(kanban): batch-salvage 7 community kanban bug fixes#23791
Merged
Conversation
…ent protocol violation When a kanban worker subprocess hits the iteration budget, the agent loop strips tools and asks the model for a summary. The model cannot call kanban_block itself at that point, so the process exits rc=0 without calling kanban_complete or kanban_block — a protocol violation that the dispatcher detects as a fatal error, giving up after 1 failure and stranding downstream tasks. Fix: after _handle_max_iterations() returns, check HERMES_KANBAN_TASK and call kanban_block with a reason describing the exhaustion. The dispatcher then sees a clean block transition instead of a protocol violation, and the task can be retried or escalated by a human. Fixes [Bug] kanban-worker exits cleanly (rc=0) on iteration-budget exhaustion without calling kanban_complete or kanban_block #23216
Default spawn did not propagate HERMES_HOME when forking kanban workers. The worker's env is copied from the parent via dict(os.environ), so HERMES_HOME is absent. When the child then starts hermes -p <profile>, the CLI's _apply_profile_override() runs before hermes_constants is imported and get_hermes_home() falls back to ~/.hermes (the default profile root), silently ignoring the profile's config.yaml. Profile- scoped fallback_providers, toolsets, and agent settings are therefore never applied to kanban workers. The fix injects HERMES_HOME into the worker's env using resolve_profile_env(profile_arg) so the child reads the correct profile directory instead of the default root.
The kanban dispatcher sets HERMES_KANBAN_TASK on every spawned worker but launches it with the assignee profile's HERMES_HOME (e.g. ~/.hermes/profiles/<name>/), which has no gateway.pid file. The existing _check_send_message therefore returned False from the is_gateway_running() fallback, even though the parent gateway is alive and reachable. Net effect: workers could call kanban_* tools (gated on HERMES_KANBAN_TASK in _check_kanban_mode) but not send_message. This breaks the natural pattern of "worker does the job, calls send_message to deliver rich content to the originating chat, then calls kanban_complete with a one-line summary" because the kanban notifier's payload_summary is hard-truncated to the first line (~200 chars) at gateway/run.py:3963 — anything richer has to ship via send_message. Honoring HERMES_KANBAN_TASK in _check_send_message — symmetric with _check_kanban_mode in kanban_tools.py:42 — closes the gap. No new state, no new env var, no profile-config changes required.
Adds a TestCheckSendMessage class with 7 focused tests pinning the
four passing conditions and the failure modes:
- HERMES_KANBAN_TASK grants access (the new branch)
- HERMES_KANBAN_TASK short-circuits before consulting
session_context or gateway.status (so workers don't depend on
those import paths being healthy)
- HERMES_SESSION_PLATFORM=telegram grants access
- HERMES_SESSION_PLATFORM=local falls through to gateway check
- is_gateway_running()=True grants access
- All signals absent → False
- gateway.status ImportError is swallowed → False
Pinning the short-circuit (test #2) is the load-bearing one — it
documents the contract that worker-side availability cannot regress
to depending on gateway-side state lookups.
…esolution When a parent task is archived, dependent child tasks were stuck in todo forever because recompute_ready and claim_task only checked for status == 'done'. Now both functions also treat 'archived' as a terminal status, allowing children to proceed when their parent is archived. Fixes #23180.
The _default_spawn HERMES_HOME injection (PR #23356) calls resolve_profile_env which raises FileNotFoundError when the profile dir doesn't exist. In production the profile always exists (workers are only dispatched for live profiles), but tests with isolated HERMES_HOME never create profile dirs. Catch FileNotFoundError and fall through — HERMES_PROFILE is still set below, so the worker CLI resolves the profile at startup.
