feat(setup): thin out setup — Quick Setup via Nous Portal + Full Setup defaults by teknium1 · Pull Request #35723 · NousResearch/hermes-agent

teknium1 · 2026-05-31T06:07:24Z

Summary

Thins out hermes setup so users answer far fewer questions. Two parts:

Quick Setup now routes straight through the Nous Portal provider — OAuth login, Nous model selection, then terminal + messaging.
Full Setup drops every prompt that has an obvious default. Anything cut stays tunable via the per-section commands.

Changes

Quick Setup (Nous Portal)

Rename the first-time menu entry to Quick Setup (Nous Portal) — OAuth login, model & messaging (recommended).
_run_first_time_quick_setup calls _model_flow_nous(config) for step 1 (handles both logged-out device-code OAuth+model-select and logged-in curated picker). Config is re-synced from disk afterward to avoid the [Bug] Provider auto-detection ignores model.provider in config.yaml — stale API keys override explicit custom endpoint #4172 stale-overwrite.

Full Setup — thinned

Model section: drop the same-provider credential rotation pool, the vision-backend picker, and the TTS provider sub-flow. Vision auto-detects from the main provider; TTS defaults to Edge; rotation lives in hermes auth add.
Terminal section: keep the backend picker (Local default) and any required credentials (Modal token, SSH host/user/key, Daytona key). Stop prompting for container image, CPU/mem/disk resources, gateway cwd, and sudo password — all use defaults.
Agent Settings: removed from the wizard. First installs get recommended defaults silently; existing installs keep their tuned values untouched. Reachable via hermes setup agent.
New defaults: max_turns 90 → 150; session_reset.mode both → none (written explicitly, since the gateway treats absent session_reset as "both").

Validation

	Before	After
Quick step 1	full provider picker	Nous Portal OAuth + model
Full Setup prompts (local user)	~35	provider+model, terminal pick, messaging, tools
max_turns default	90	150
session reset default	both (1440 / 4:00)	none
existing-install agent settings	re-prompted	untouched

Live E2E (isolated HERMES_HOME, mocked prompts): Quick path order model_flow_nous → terminal → defaults → messaging; model section fires zero rotation/vision/TTS prompts; local backend asks nothing (cwd defaulted); docker asks nothing (image defaulted); defaults write max_turns=150, session_reset.mode="none". All assertions passed.
Setup test suite: 44/44 pass. Updated 2 reconfigure tests (agent settings no longer prompted on existing installs); removed 3 tests covering the deleted in-setup rotation flow.
py_compile clean. Net −384 lines.

Infographic

…messaging) First-time quick setup now goes straight to the Nous Portal provider instead of showing the full provider picker. Runs the device-code OAuth login, selects a Nous model, configures the terminal backend, and offers messaging setup — applying recommended defaults for everything else. - Rename menu entry to 'Quick Setup (Nous Portal)'. - _run_first_time_quick_setup now calls _model_flow_nous (handles both the logged-out OAuth+model-select path and the logged-in curated picker), then re-syncs config from disk to avoid the #4172 stale-overwrite. - Terminal / defaults / messaging steps unchanged.
