Ship Hermes v0.9.0 compatibility plus new features (log component
filter, session pill, Fast Mode, Backup/Restore, iMessage, /compress,
Discord threads). README lists both universal and ARM64 downloads.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Log parser: session-ID tag in v0.9.0 log format is now an optional
capture group; session pill renders inline and tap-filters the view.
- Logs: component filter (Gateway/Agent/Tools/CLI/Cron) and bounded
logger column with middle truncation.
- Gateway stop: uses `hermes gateway stop` CLI (v0.9.0's launchctl
bootout fix) with SIGTERM as fallback.
- HermesConfig: new keys for Fast Mode (service_tier), gateway notify
interval, force IPv4, context engine, interim assistant messages,
and Honcho eager init (camelCase per PR #6995).
- Settings: new Performance, Network, Advanced, and Backup & Restore
sections that call `hermes backup` / `hermes import` off the main
actor; robust zip-path extraction via regex.
- Platforms: iMessage (BlueBubbles) added to KnownPlatforms and
icon map.
- Cron: Discord thread delivery (`discord:chat:thread`) renders as
"Discord thread X in Y".
- Chat: `/compress <focus>` button appears when ACP advertises the
command; optional focus sheet sends through existing prompt path.

Add cumulative token tracking from ACP prompt results with fallback
display when DB has no data yet. Improve scroll-to-bottom reliability
with an external trigger for "Return to Active Session" and onAppear
auto-scroll. Show per-session cost in the dashboard session list.

Synchronous Process.run()/waitUntilExit() calls on the main thread blocked
SwiftUI's render loop, causing toggle controls to appear as solid blue
rectangles instead of proper switches. All hermes subprocess and file I/O
calls are now async via Task.detached, toggle uses optimistic state update
for immediate visual feedback, and pipe file handles are properly closed.

Sessions were silently dying and losing chat history because:
- Pipe write errors (EPIPE) were completely undetected — broken pipe
writes via Task.detached { handle.write() } failed silently, leaving
the app unaware the subprocess had crashed
- Reconnection fell back to newSession() when loadSession() failed,
creating a blank session and permanently losing all conversation context
- No message reconciliation after reconnect — DB-persisted messages
were never re-fetched, so the UI stayed stale/incomplete
- Keepalive sent bare "\n" which caused json.loads("") parse errors
in the ACP library every 30 seconds, destabilizing the connection
- TERM=xterm-256color was set on a pipe-based subprocess, risking
terminal escape sequence pollution in the JSON-RPC stream
Fixes:
- Replace FileHandle.write() with POSIX Darwin.write() + SIGPIPE
suppression for immediate broken-pipe detection at all write sites
- Send valid JSON-RPC notification {"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"$/ping"}
as keepalive instead of bare newlines
- Never fall back to newSession() during reconnection — try
resumeSession then loadSession, fail visibly if both fail
- Add reconcileWithDB() to merge DB-persisted messages with local
state after successful reconnection
- Finalize streaming messages immediately on disconnect so partial
content is preserved before reconnection begins
- Use SIGINT instead of SIGTERM for graceful Python subprocess shutdown
- Remove TERM env var from ACP subprocess environment
- Consolidate disconnect cleanup into single idempotent method
- Add isHandlingDisconnect guard against double-handling
- Increase reconnect attempts from 3 to 5 with capped backoff
- Add "Reconnect" button to toolbar error state
Also: bump version to 1.5.1, set deployment target to macOS 14.6
(Sonoma), and update README with rich chat/ACP features, process
controls, skill editing, and corrected system requirements.

Implement a rich chat interface powered by the Hermes ACP (Agent
Communication Protocol) over JSON-RPC stdio pipes, with comprehensive
connection stability:
- ACPClient actor: manages hermes acp subprocess lifecycle, JSON-RPC
transport, event streaming via AsyncStream, and session management
- ACPMessages: full event parsing for message chunks, thought chunks,
tool calls, permission requests, and prompt completion
- RichChatViewModel: streaming message display with live updates,
tool result rendering, and message grouping
- ChatViewModel: ACP session orchestration, auto-start on first
message, and terminal mode fallback
Connection stability fixes:
- Non-blocking pipe writes via Task.detached to prevent actor deadlock
- Read loop cleanup (handleReadLoopEnded) finishes event stream and
fails pending requests on EOF instead of hanging silently
- 30s request timeouts on control messages via watchdog Task pattern
- Keepalive: writes \n to stdin every 30s to detect dead processes
via EPIPE before the next user action
- Health monitor: polls process.isRunning every 5s as belt-and-suspenders
- Auto-reconnect: retries up to 3 times with exponential backoff
(1s/2s/4s), restores session, only shows error after all retries fail
- connectionLost event displays system message in chat on failure
- Proper stderr pipe management: stored task reference, closed in stop()
- Idempotent cleanup across handleReadLoopEnded, handleTermination,
and handleConnectionDied via actor serialization and nil guards

Replace inline AttributedString(markdown:) in RichMessageBubble with
the shared MarkdownContentView for consistent styled rendering of
headers, lists, blockquotes, and inline formatting in chat messages.
Code blocks continue to use CodeBlockView with its copy button.

The config.yaml uses YAML empty string literal (provider: '') which the
parser reads as the literal string '' rather than an empty string. Strip
surrounding quotes before checking so '' and "" are treated as empty.

Add a custom MarkdownContentView that renders markdown with visual
styling — large headers, styled code blocks with language labels,
bullet and numbered lists, blockquotes with colored borders, and
horizontal rules. YAML frontmatter in skill files is hidden.
Markdown rendering added to:
- Memory view (MEMORY.md, USER.md) with live preview in editor
- Skills view (.md files) with new edit/save capability
- Session messages (assistant responses)
- Dashboard text widgets
Other changes:
- Shared MarkdownRenderer utility for inline formatting
- Split-pane editors (raw markdown left, live preview right)
- saveSkillContent() in HermesFileService with path validation
- Line breaks preserved in non-markdown content (Key: Value format)
Closes#11

- Add hermesPID() and stopHermes() to HermesFileService for process
signal management via SIGTERM
- Add process control bar to Health view with running status, PID
display, and Start/Stop/Restart buttons
- Add Start/Stop/Restart Hermes quick actions to menu bar
- Start launches gateway, stop sends SIGTERM, restart combines both

Introduce a new structured chat view as an alternative to the SwiftTerm
terminal. Users can switch between raw terminal and rich chat modes via a
segmented picker in the toolbar. The rich view polls state.db for messages
and renders them as conversation bubbles with markdown, code blocks,
expandable tool call cards, reasoning sections, and a live session info bar
showing tokens, cost, and model. The terminal process stays alive in both
modes — in rich mode it runs hidden while user input from the text field is
piped to its stdin.

Hermes auto-enables TTS when voice mode turns on (auto_tts config).
Our ttsEnabled started as false, so the UI showed off when TTS was
actually on. Now reads auto_tts from config.yaml when voice enables
and sets the initial state to match.
