## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work. > - Agent adapters are the boundary between the control plane and the runtimes that actually do work. > - Hermes support needs to be available as first-class local and gateway adapters while still preserving the adapter-manager override path for external packages. > - The adapter work touches runtime execution, UI adapter metadata, onboarding prompts, scoped credentials, release packaging, and smoke coverage, so the handoff needs concrete verification rather than only unit tests. > - This pull request adds built-in Hermes local and Hermes gateway support, keeps external adapter overrides compatible, and documents/tests the gateway flow end to end. > - The benefit is that operators can hire Hermes-backed agents without a manual plugin install, while self-hosted installs can still override/shadow the built-ins through Adapter manager packages. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description No public GitHub issue exists for this exact Hermes built-in adapter, gateway onboarding, and release-source work. Problem description: - Hermes local and gateway adapters need a public, reviewable source path in the monorepo so package artifacts and built-in adapter behavior match the application source. - Operators need built-in `hermes_local` and `hermes_gateway` adapter choices without losing the ability to install external Hermes packages as overrides. - Gateway onboarding needs secure defaults for API server URLs, API keys, and generated agent setup text. - Hermes-originated task bridge credentials need narrower API-key scope configuration. - Related public PRs found during duplicate search include #3027, #2363, #7544, #7950, #8095, and #8543. ## What Changed - Added the unified Hermes adapter package with local and gateway server/UI/CLI exports, config schemas, transcript parsing, model detection, and package metadata. - Registered `hermes_local` and `hermes_gateway` as built-in adapters across shared constants, server registries, CLI packaging, and UI adapter registries. - Kept the external adapter override path compatible so installed Hermes packages can shadow built-ins and restore the built-in parser when disabled. - Added Hermes gateway onboarding docs, board-operator docs, Docker smoke assets, and shell smoke harnesses for join/e2e validation. - Added scoped task-bridge API-key support, authorization checks, issue-origin handling, and tests for Hermes-created Paperclip tasks. - Hardened gateway transport and redaction behavior for API keys, headers, session data, and smoke diagnostics. - Updated release packaging/bootstrap checks for the Hermes packages while leaving `pnpm-lock.yaml` out of the PR per repository policy. ## Verification Targeted local verification recorded before PR handoff: - `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/hermes-paperclip-adapter exec vitest run src/gateway/server/execute.test.ts` — 14/14 passed. - `pnpm test:hermes-gateway-smoke` — 6/6 passed. - Hermes package typecheck/build checks passed. - Focused server/UI adapter tests passed — 31/31. - Release helper Node tests passed — 18/18. - `git diff --check origin/master..HEAD` passed. Fresh Docker E2E smoke evidence: - Ran `pnpm smoke:hermes-gateway-e2e` on 2026-06-26 with a fresh state directory and fresh Docker container against a live Paperclip dev server. - Hermes direct execution reached `completed`. - Hermes stop/cancel path reached `cancelled`. - Hermes gateway created a Paperclip task, Paperclip ran the Hermes agent, and the task reached `done` with the expected marker response. - Temporary board auth keys, token files, smoke state, and Docker containers were cleaned up after the run. PR checks on head `b5eae40ce`: - GitHub Actions passed: `policy`, `review`, `Typecheck + Release Registry`, all general test shards, all serialized server shards, `Build`, `Canary Dry Run`, `e2e`, and aggregate `verify`. - External checks passed: Snyk and Socket Project Report. - External Socket Pull Request Alerts remained pending after the first-party CI matrix completed. ## Risks - Medium risk: this spans adapter registration, package publishing, gateway execution, onboarding docs, API-key scoping, and UI adapter metadata. - Migration risk is low: the scope-config migration adds a nullable column and does not rewrite existing keys. - Gateway execution depends on operator-provided Hermes API configuration; the smoke covers the Docker gateway path but real deployments may differ by network/auth setup. - Direct Greptile review on the latest expanded diff is file-count limited, although the commitperclip review gate passed. > For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap with planned core work may need to be redirected — check the roadmap first.

# Hermes Gateway Smoke
|
|
|
|
This smoke validates the built-in `hermes_gateway` adapter against a fresh
|
|
Hermes gateway. Keep real Hermes execution manual/local: the CI-safe checks only
|
|
lint shell syntax and focused helper behavior.
|
|
|
|
For the operator-facing install and invite flow, see
|
|
[HERMES_GATEWAY_ONBOARDING.md](./HERMES_GATEWAY_ONBOARDING.md). This smoke guide
|
|
focuses on verification commands and network modes.
|
|
|
|
## CI-safe validation
|
|
|
|
Run these from the repo root:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
bash -n scripts/smoke/hermes-gateway-join.sh scripts/smoke/hermes-gateway-e2e.sh
|
|
pnpm test:hermes-gateway-smoke
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`pnpm test:hermes-gateway-smoke` does not start Docker, Hermes, or Paperclip. It
|
|
checks script help output, shell syntax, redaction helpers, URL slash handling,
|
|
and the non-loopback HTTP guard.
|
|
|
|
## Secrets and cleanup
|
|
|
|
- Set the Hermes gateway key with `HERMES_GATEWAY_API_KEY` or `API_SERVER_KEY`.
|
|
The scripts print only `sha256=<prefix>` and length for secret identifiers.
|
|
- Set at least one Hermes inference provider key on the host before running the
|
|
Docker E2E smoke. The script passes through set values for
|
|
`OPENROUTER_API_KEY`, `OPENAI_API_KEY`, `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`, `GEMINI_API_KEY`,
|
|
`GOOGLE_API_KEY`, and `MISTRAL_API_KEY`, and logs only the provider env var
|
|
names.
|
|
- To pin the fresh Hermes container to a known non-secret model config, set
|
|
`HERMES_SMOKE_MODEL_PROVIDER`, `HERMES_SMOKE_MODEL_DEFAULT`, and optionally
|
|
`HERMES_SMOKE_MODEL_BASE_URL`. For example, OpenRouter GLM:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
HERMES_SMOKE_MODEL_PROVIDER=openrouter \
|
|
HERMES_SMOKE_MODEL_DEFAULT=z-ai/glm-5.2 \
|
|
HERMES_SMOKE_MODEL_BASE_URL=https://openrouter.ai/api/v1 \
|
|
pnpm smoke:hermes-gateway-e2e
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This writes only `model`, `providers: {}`, and
|
|
`command_allowlist: [execute_code]` into the temporary Hermes home. Provider
|
|
keys still come from environment variables and are redacted from diagnostics.
|
|
- The E2E helper always seeds `command_allowlist: [execute_code]` in the fresh
|
|
Hermes config so non-interactive gateway/API runs do not wait for a manual
|
|
execute-code approval prompt. Do not copy a host `~/.hermes` directory into
|
|
the container to solve approval or provider setup.
|
|
- Board/operator auth is required through `PAPERCLIP_AUTH_HEADER`,
|
|
`PAPERCLIP_COOKIE`, or a board-capable `PAPERCLIP_API_KEY`.
|
|
- Diagnostic files are redacted before they are written, except the join output
|
|
file intentionally contains the claimed Paperclip agent key and is written
|
|
`chmod 600`.
|
|
- Successful runs remove the smoke issue, smoke agent, join request, Docker
|
|
container, and per-run local state.
|
|
- Set `HERMES_SMOKE_KEEP=1` to preserve diagnostics, state, and the container.
|
|
Failed runs automatically preserve them and print the retained paths.
|
|
|
|
## URL model
|
|
|
|
The smoke has three URLs because different processes need different routes:
|
|
|
|
- `PAPERCLIP_API_URL`: Paperclip URL used by the operator shell.
|
|
- `PAPERCLIP_API_URL_FOR_HERMES`: Paperclip URL used from inside the Hermes
|
|
container or remote Hermes host.
|
|
- `HERMES_GATEWAY_API_BASE_URL`: Hermes gateway URL stored on the Paperclip
|
|
adapter, reachable by the Paperclip server.
|
|
- `HERMES_GATEWAY_PROBE_URL`: Hermes gateway URL used by the operator shell for
|
|
direct `/health`, `/v1/capabilities`, `/v1/runs`, and SSE checks.
|
|
|
|
Loopback HTTP gateway URLs are allowed. Non-loopback HTTP gateway URLs require
|
|
`HERMES_GATEWAY_ALLOW_INSECURE_HTTP=1` and should only be used on local/private
|
|
development networks. Use HTTPS for real remote gateways.
|
|
|
|
## Docker Desktop or Linux host Paperclip
|
|
|
|
Use this when Paperclip runs on the host at `127.0.0.1:3100` and Docker can
|
|
reach the host through `host.docker.internal`.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
PAPERCLIP_API_URL=http://127.0.0.1:3100 \
|
|
PAPERCLIP_AUTH_HEADER='Bearer <board-token>' \
|
|
pnpm smoke:hermes-gateway-e2e
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Linux uses `--add-host=host.docker.internal:host-gateway` by default through
|
|
`HERMES_DOCKER_ADD_HOST=1`. If your Docker setup already provides
|
|
`host.docker.internal`, the same command works.
|
|
|
|
## Same Docker network as Paperclip
|
|
|
|
Use this when Paperclip is a container on a Docker network and the Hermes smoke
|
|
container should be reachable by container DNS. The operator shell still probes
|
|
the host-published loopback port.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
PAPERCLIP_API_URL=http://127.0.0.1:3100 \
|
|
PAPERCLIP_AUTH_HEADER='Bearer <board-token>' \
|
|
HERMES_CONTAINER_NAME=paperclip-hermes-gateway-smoke \
|
|
HERMES_SMOKE_NETWORK=paperclip_default \
|
|
HERMES_DOCKER_ADD_HOST=0 \
|
|
HERMES_GATEWAY_API_BASE_URL=http://paperclip-hermes-gateway-smoke:8642 \
|
|
HERMES_GATEWAY_PROBE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8642 \
|
|
PAPERCLIP_API_URL_FOR_HERMES=http://paperclip:3100 \
|
|
HERMES_GATEWAY_ALLOW_INSECURE_HTTP=1 \
|
|
pnpm smoke:hermes-gateway-e2e
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Change `paperclip_default` and `paperclip` to your Compose network and service
|
|
name. The unsafe HTTP flag is required because Paperclip stores a non-loopback
|
|
`http://` gateway URL for private Docker DNS.
|
|
|
|
## LAN or private-network Paperclip
|
|
|
|
Use this when Paperclip is exposed on a private IP or tailnet address and the
|
|
Hermes container can reach that address.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
PAPERCLIP_API_URL=http://192.168.1.20:3100 \
|
|
PAPERCLIP_AUTH_HEADER='Bearer <board-token>' \
|
|
PAPERCLIP_API_URL_FOR_HERMES=http://192.168.1.20:3100 \
|
|
HERMES_GATEWAY_API_BASE_URL=http://192.168.1.20:8642 \
|
|
HERMES_GATEWAY_PROBE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8642 \
|
|
HERMES_GATEWAY_ALLOW_INSECURE_HTTP=1 \
|
|
pnpm smoke:hermes-gateway-e2e
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Only use this on a trusted private network. For anything beyond local/private
|
|
development, put the Hermes gateway behind TLS and use the reverse-proxy mode.
|
|
|
|
## Reverse proxy / TLS
|
|
|
|
Use this when Paperclip should talk to Hermes through a TLS hostname. The smoke
|
|
container still publishes a local port, and your reverse proxy forwards the TLS
|
|
hostname to that port.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
PAPERCLIP_API_URL=https://paperclip.example.com \
|
|
PAPERCLIP_AUTH_HEADER='Bearer <board-token>' \
|
|
PAPERCLIP_API_URL_FOR_HERMES=https://paperclip.example.com \
|
|
HERMES_GATEWAY_API_BASE_URL=https://hermes-gateway.example.com \
|
|
HERMES_GATEWAY_PROBE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8642 \
|
|
pnpm smoke:hermes-gateway-e2e
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
No unsafe HTTP escape hatch is needed because the adapter URL is HTTPS.
|
|
|
|
## Join-only validation
|
|
|
|
If a Hermes gateway is already running, use the join helper without building or
|
|
starting a Docker container:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
API_SERVER_ENABLED=true API_SERVER_KEY='<gateway-key>' hermes gateway run --replace --accept-hooks
|
|
|
|
PAPERCLIP_API_URL=http://127.0.0.1:3100 \
|
|
PAPERCLIP_AUTH_HEADER='Bearer <board-token>' \
|
|
HERMES_GATEWAY_API_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8642 \
|
|
HERMES_GATEWAY_API_KEY='<gateway-key>' \
|
|
pnpm smoke:hermes-gateway-join
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For non-loopback private HTTP join-only runs, set
|
|
`HERMES_GATEWAY_ALLOW_INSECURE_HTTP=1`. For Docker DNS or reverse-proxy setups,
|
|
set `HERMES_GATEWAY_PROBE_URL` to the URL reachable from the operator shell and
|
|
`HERMES_GATEWAY_API_BASE_URL` to the URL Paperclip should store on the adapter.
