Summary

Google Chat was the only messaging channel restricted to OpenClaw. This change enables it for Hermes without placing the service-account key inside the sandbox: Hermes pulls Chat events from the configured Pub/Sub subscription over the REST API and replies through the OpenShell L7 proxy with a gateway-minted bearer, so the sandbox only ever holds a credential placeholder. Before, channels add googlechat was refused on a Hermes sandbox; after, the channel enrolls, receives DMs, and replies.

Related Issue

Completes the Hermes half of #5492 for Google Chat. That issue models support per agent and states a channel needs to work for each runtime whose upstream actually supports it; Hermes v2026.7.20 ships plugins/platforms/google_chat/adapter.py, so Hermes is inside its accepted scope. #7317 delivered the OpenClaw half and the issue was closed with that half done. It is reopened, and its channel table now records this PR against the Google Chat row. Not a closing reference, since the issue tracks the whole channel catalogue. Release target: next patch release.

Changes

  • Add channels/googlechat/policy/hermes.yaml: Pub/Sub REST pull for inbound and Chat REST for the reply, restricted to the two Pub/Sub operations the adapter issues (:pull, :acknowledge) and to the Chat spaces tree for writes.
  • Add channels/googlechat/provider-profile/hermes.yaml: one gateway-minted token covering chat.bot and pubsub, with the service-account private key designated as gateway-side secret material.
  • Extend channels/googlechat/manifest.ts: allow Hermes, add the Hermes-only project and subscription inputs, render the Hermes env and platform fragment, and declare the google-* packages the managed image needs.
  • Move google_chat from the managed-image neutral list to the Hermes supported list, and let the bridge-provider collector select a profile by agent.
  • Add channels/googlechat/runtime/hermes-adapter.py: a channel-owned runtime asset that subclasses the bundled Google Chat adapter for a Pub/Sub REST pull loop, placeholder credentials, and an aiohttp reply transport, and attaches it through platform_registry.get() plus dataclasses.replace().
  • Correct the DM allowlist prompt, which told every operator to use users/NNN ids and claimed emails are ignored. That holds for OpenClaw and is inverted for Hermes, and the prompt did not say that filling the allowlist switches the DM policy from pairing to allowlist, so a wrong-form entry drops the sender with no reply and no pairing code.

Why the module load is conditional. Hermes loads only __init__.py as the plugin entry, so the gate in agents/hermes/plugin/__init__.py loads the sibling channel asset by path when the rendered GOOGLE_CHAT_SUBSCRIPTION_NAME is present. Nothing else reads the module, and the registry entry is replaced through platform_registry.get() and dataclasses.replace() rather than a global register wrapper. A failed load logs and returns without aborting plugin registration. The gate itself has no automated test, for the reason recorded under Quality Gates.

Type of Change

  • Code change (feature, bug fix, or refactor)
  • Code change with doc updates
  • Doc only (prose changes, no code sample modifications)
  • Doc only (includes code sample changes)

Quality Gates

  • Tests added or updated for changed behavior
  • Existing tests cover changed behavior — justification:
  • Tests not applicable — justification:
  • Sensitive paths changed (security, policy, credentials, preflight, onboarding, inference, runner, sandbox, or messaging)
  • Sensitive-path review completed or maintainer-approved waiver recorded — reviewer/approval link/justification:
  • Non-success, skipped, or missing CI check accepted by maintainer — check name, approval link, and follow-up issue:

Coverage gap. The override itself is covered: channels/googlechat/runtime/hermes-adapter.test.ts drives the real pull loop under python3, and channels/googlechat/policy.test.ts pins the egress preset. What has no automated coverage is the load gate in agents/hermes/plugin/__init__.py, because this repository runs no CI lane for Python tests under agents/hermes/plugin/, so a unit test placed there would gate nothing. The risk it would guard against is a runtime property, that the gate stops firing and Hermes silently keeps the stock gRPC and service-account adapter, which the REST-only policy then blocks. The nearest real coverage is the hermes-e2e lane. Live validation is recorded under Verification.

Live validation. On a managed Hermes sandbox built from this branch, the plugin replaces the bundled google_chat entry, connect() reports the keyless REST pull transport, a Chat DM reaches the agent, and the bot replies in the space. The conditional load was exercised against the baked module inside that sandbox in both directions: with the channel configured the module loads and the entry is replaced; without it the module is not loaded and the bundled entry stands.

…EST pull

Google Chat was the only messaging channel restricted to OpenClaw. Enable it
for Hermes without placing the service-account key inside the sandbox.

The bundled Hermes adapter receives Chat events over a gRPC Pub/Sub
StreamingPull and signs its bot token in-process from that key. Neither
survives in a sandbox. The OpenShell L7 protocol set has no gRPC variant, so
the transport cannot be inspected, and raw relay would disable the very
inspection the credential swap depends on. The adapter also offers no seam
for a pre-minted token and hardcodes an httplib2 transport that cannot proxy
HTTPS here.

Rebind the bundled adapter to the transports a sandbox allows: pull the same
subscription over the Pub/Sub REST API, and send replies through the L7 proxy
carrying the gateway-minted placeholder. The rebind ships as a sibling plugin
module that the plugin loads only when the channel is configured, so a Hermes
sandbox without Google Chat never wraps the platform registry.

Add the Hermes policy preset and provider profile for the channel, flip the
managed-image platform lists, and cover the new render and gate paths in the
existing messaging tests.

Correct the DM allowlist prompt while it is in reach. It told every operator
to enter users/NNN ids and stated that an email entry is ignored, which holds
for OpenClaw but is inverted for Hermes, so a Hermes operator following it
saved an allowlist that could never match. Filling the allowlist also
switches the DM policy from pairing to allowlist, so a wrong-form entry drops
the sender with no reply, no pairing code, and no log line at the default
level. The prompt now names the form each agent expects, states that
consequence, and points an operator who does not know their id at the pairing
reply, which prints it on OpenClaw.
… route

The Google Chat preset for Hermes allowed POST to every Pub/Sub v1 path, and
the comment justified that width with a claim about glob matching that does
not hold. The L7 matcher is glob.match(pattern, ["/"], path), so `/` is the
only delimiter and `*` already spans the `:verb` suffix inside a segment.

The adapter issues exactly two Pub/Sub requests, `:pull` and `:acknowledge`,
so restrict the route to those. The gateway injects a bearer carrying the
pubsub scope here, and the previous rule also permitted publish and
subscription administration from inside the sandbox. Presets cannot template
the configured subscription, so the rules match the subscription path shape.

Drop the stale `:modifyAckDeadline` mention; the adapter never issues it.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to c0758

This change enables Google Chat for Hermes, but the current implementation can fail to connect or stop receiving messages after one malformed event, making the feature unavailable until fixed. The PR also lacks the required accepted product issue and sensitive-path approval, so it is not safe to merge yet.

Warnings

Warnings do not block.

PRA-1 Warning — Cover the Hermes Google Chat plugin load gate

  • Location: agents/hermes/plugin/init.py:1378
  • Category: tests
  • Problem: The changed plugin registration path conditionally loads and installs googlechat_adapter.py, but no checked-in test executes this gate.
  • Impact: A path or import regression can leave Hermes on the bundled gRPC adapter. The REST-only policy then prevents inbound delivery without unit-test detection.
  • Recommendation: Add a focused Python-compatible test that loads the Hermes plugin with stubbed platform registry and adapter module. Verify the configured case replaces google_chat and the unset case preserves the bundled entry.
  • Verification: Inspect a new test that imports the plugin with stubbed gateway.platform_registry and googlechat_adapter.py, then asserts both environment branches.
  • Test coverage: Load agents/hermes/plugin/__init__.py with GOOGLE_CHAT_SUBSCRIPTION_NAME set and unset. Assert that only the configured case calls the adapter install path and replaces the platform_registry google_chat entry.
  • Simplification (shrink): Remove A separate end-to-end-only dependency for the plugin activation boundary.; use One focused plugin-load regression test with stubbed Hermes registry seams.. Net: 0 lines.
  • Keep: Keep the runtime test that exercises the real REST pull loop; the focused test must cover only conditional module loading and registry replacement.
  • Evidence: agents/hermes/plugin/__init__.py:1378 conditionally calls _install_googlechat_adapter(ctx) from register(). agents/hermes/plugin/__init__.py:1348-1373 loads googlechat_adapter.py and calls module.install(ctx) only when GOOGLE_CHAT_SUBSCRIPTION_NAME is present. src/lib/messaging/channels/googlechat/runtime/hermes-adapter.test.ts tests _rest_pull but does not load the Hermes plugin.

Workflow run details

This automated review informs maintainers. Warnings and suggestions do not require a response. A maintainer decides whether to merge.

The gateway proxy lookup opened every `/proc/<pid>/cmdline` it scanned without
closing it. The Chat reply transport calls that lookup on every outbound
request, so each reply leaked one descriptor per process on the host. Read the
file under a context manager instead.

Also drop the redundant `asyncio` import inside the reply transport; the module
already imports asyncio at top level.

LOC Reduction / Codebase Simplicity Review

Why this blocks

The PR adds a 477-line repository-local fork of Hermes’s Google Chat behavior. It duplicates connect() at agents/hermes/plugin/googlechat_sandbox_adapter.py:200, rebinds four private methods at line 392, and wraps and mutates the global platform registry at line 428. A second activation path is hard-coded in agents/hermes/plugin/__init__.py:1442-1490.

That is 477 of 953 added lines, creates two owners for the Hermes adapter contract, and depends on private implementation details and deferred registration order. No Python or runtime test covers this layer; the PR text identifies the registry-order behavior as untested.

This also conflicts with src/lib/messaging/AGENTS.md:8-10 and src/lib/messaging/AGENTS.md:69-77, which place channel boot and connect shims under channel-owned manifest/runtime assets with behavior coverage.

Refactor direction

  • Add or use a narrow, tested Hermes extension seam for transport and credentials that preserves the registered adapter metadata.
  • Keep only the Pub/Sub REST pull and placeholder-auth delta in NemoClaw, selected through the Google Chat channel runtime.
  • Remove the copied connect(), global platform_registry.register wrapper, private-method rebinding, and separate global-plugin channel gate.
  • If the pinned Hermes release lacks a stable seam, land that seam before presenting Hermes Google Chat as supported.

Expected result

One manifest-owned activation path, deterministic tests, and hundreds fewer lines. NemoClaw would maintain only its REST and credential delta instead of a parallel Hermes adapter implementation.

…es registry seams

The Hermes Google Chat delta was a repository-local fork: it copied the bundled
`connect()`, rebound four private methods onto each adapter instance, replaced
`platform_registry.register` for the whole process, and lived in the shared
Hermes plugin. Rework it to use the seams Hermes already publishes.

* `platform_registry.get("google_chat")` resolves the bundled entry and forces
  its deferred loader, so the override no longer depends on registration order.
* `PlatformEntry` is a dataclass, so `dataclasses.replace` preserves every field
  and changes only `adapter_factory`, `check_fn` and `required_env`.
  `register()` documents last-writer-wins for exactly this case.
* The delta is now a subclass. Reporting no subscription from `_validate_config`
  makes the bundled `connect()` skip its gRPC precheck, which is fatal under a
  REST-only egress policy, and skip its own supervisor, so the copied `connect()`
  is gone and the REST pull starts from the subclass instead.
* The module moves to `channels/googlechat/runtime/hermes-adapter.py`, the
  channel-owned location `src/lib/messaging/AGENTS.md` specifies. The Hermes
  image copies it beside the plugin, which still loads it only when the channel
  is configured.

Three Hermes internals remain bound, because `PlatformEntry` carries no
credential or transport field and `adapter_factory` is its only injection point.
Pin them at image build instead: `image-build-probes.py
googlechat-override-seams` fails the build when one of those definitions moves,
rather than letting the channel fall back to the stock gRPC and service-account
adapter unnoticed. This follows the existing pinning practice for Hermes
internals in the same Dockerfile.

Behavior is unchanged: the same events arrive over the same Pub/Sub REST pull
and replies leave over the same proxied transport.

Also adds the two Hermes Google Chat config keys to the non-secret allowlist
test, which the channel needed and no run had exercised, and shortens the
comments this channel's files had accumulated.
… offline

The capability-union layer installs every channel's Hermes packages with
`--network=none` from a read-only wheel set, so the three Google Chat specs
this branch added to the manifest had nothing to resolve against. uv failed
with "google-cloud-pubsub was not found in the cache", which took the whole
atomic install down with it, and the build surfaced that four steps later as
a missing microsoft-teams-apps.

Google Chat is the only channel whose Python dependencies Hermes does not
package. The base image syncs `anthropic messaging web pty mcp`, and the
`messaging` extra already carries telegram, discord, and slack, while
WhatsApp runs through a Node bridge. Hermes declares no google_chat extra at
all, and `_load_google_modules()` imports pubsub, googleapiclient, and grpc
all-or-nothing even though this integration pulls Pub/Sub over REST.

Vendor only the 18 packages the base venv lacks; uv satisfies the remaining
10 from the installed distributions, the same way the existing Teams wheels
rely on fastapi and cryptography already being present. Only grpcio needs a
per-architecture wheel.
The wheel set landed one package short: `google-cloud-pubsub` requires
`opentelemetry-api>=1.27.0`, and the base venv does not carry it, so the
offline union install still had nothing to resolve against.

The first pass derived the missing set from a local Hermes checkout rather
than the version the image pins. Recomputed against the exact
`HERMES_VERSION=v2026.7.20` tarball, whose checksum matches
`HERMES_TARBALL_SHA256`, with `agents/hermes/security-dependencies.patch`
applied: 19 of the 28 packages are missing, not 18.
Nothing checked in exercised the adapter itself. The image-build probe pins
upstream method names in the bundled source, and the runtime contract test
covers the OpenClaw side, so a regression could have sent an unapproved
request, replaced the credential placeholder, or dropped a message whose
acknowledgement failed without any of it failing a check.

Drive the real `_rest_pull` under `python3` against two doubles supplied on
PYTHONPATH, one for aiohttp and one for the bundled Hermes adapter, and
assert what crosses the wire: every request carries the placeholder bearer
and nothing else, the only two URLs reached are `:pull` and `:acknowledge`
on the configured subscription, a nacked message produces no acknowledge,
and both acknowledgement failure modes leave the message to be redelivered
instead of ending the pull loop.

Each assertion was checked against a mutation of the adapter that it is
meant to catch: a changed placeholder, `:acknowledge` swapped for
`:modifyAckDeadline`, a rejected acknowledge breaking the loop, the
transport error escaping its handler, and `nack()` acknowledging anyway.
…scaffolding

The review this branch answers is a LOC and simplicity review, and the added
surface still carried more explanation than it needed. Compress the module,
class, and method docstrings to the facts a reader cannot derive from the code
itself, and keep only the three that record a decision: why the L7 proxy set
rules out gRPC, why the proxy URL comes from the gateway's /proc environ, and
why httplib2 cannot carry the outbound call.

Fold the sibling-module loader into the installer it serves, since the split
bought only a second docstring. In the adapter test, replace the scripted
if/elif chain with a scenario table, drop the unused branches of the aiohttp
double, and merge the two cases that ran the same scenario twice.

No behavior changes. Each of the five adapter mutations the test is meant to
catch was replayed against the compressed test: a changed placeholder,
`:acknowledge` swapped for `:modifyAckDeadline`, a rejected acknowledge
breaking the loop, the transport error escaping its handler, and `nack()`
acknowledging anyway.
…s policy

Two behaviors this branch introduced had no regression guard. Both were found
by live failures, and both would fail the same way again with every check
green.

The bridge minted its token from `scopes[0]` alone, which left Hermes with
chat.bot but not pubsub and returned 403 on every `:pull`; the profile list was
also filtered by channel only, so a channel shipping a profile per agent could
configure the wrong one. Assert that one minted token carries every declared
scope, and that only the profile matching the sandbox agent produces a bridge.

The Hermes policy preset was narrowed from `/v1/**` to the two Pub/Sub
operations the adapter issues, but nothing pinned it: widening it back would
also permit publish and subscription administration. Pin the Pub/Sub and Chat
rules, the reachable host set, and the absence of Pub/Sub egress for OpenClaw,
which runs on an inbound webhook instead.

Each assertion was replayed against the mutation it exists to catch: the agent
filter removed, the scope list truncated to its first entry, the Pub/Sub rules
widened to `/v1/**`, a third host added, and Chat writes opened beyond the
spaces tree.

Your point Now
477-line fork at agents/hermes/plugin/googlechat_sandbox_adapter.py File deleted. The delta is the channel-owned channels/googlechat/runtime/hermes-adapter.py, 316 lines: REST pull, placeholder credentials, aiohttp transport, registry attach
Duplicated connect() at :200 hermes-adapter.py:192 — a 9-line override that awaits super().connect() and starts the REST pull the bundled path skipped. Nothing copied
Four private methods rebound at :392 Gone. grep -c MethodType is 0 in both files; the delta is a subclass of GoogleChatAdapter overriding three methods
Global platform_registry.register wrapper at :428 Gone. hermes-adapter.py:292-311 resolves the entry with platform_registry.get(), then dataclasses.replace() changes only adapter_factory, check_fn and required_env, then register(). Every other PlatformEntry field is carried through, and get() forces the deferred loader so registration order stops mattering
Conflicts with src/lib/messaging/AGENTS.md:69-77 Resolved. The module is a channel-owned runtime asset, its test sits beside it, and the Dockerfile copies it into the plugin directory at build time
"No Python or runtime test covers this layer" Three test files, nine cases, all mutation-checked — below

Tests.

  • channels/googlechat/runtime/hermes-adapter.test.ts drives the real _rest_pull under python3, with doubles for aiohttp and the bundled adapter on PYTHONPATH. Asserts: every request carries only the credential placeholder; no URL beyond :pull and :acknowledge on the configured subscription; a nacked message sends no acknowledge; a rejected acknowledge and a failed acknowledge transport both leave the message for redelivery instead of ending the loop.
  • channels/googlechat/policy.test.ts pins the egress preset: the two Pub/Sub operations, the Chat rules, the reachable host set, and no Pub/Sub egress for OpenClaw.
  • onboard/messaging-bridge-provider.test.ts covers the bridge: one minted token carries every declared scope, and only the profile whose agent matches the sandbox produces a bridge.
  • Each assertion was replayed against the mutation it exists to catch — changed placeholder, :acknowledge swapped for :modifyAckDeadline, a rejected acknowledge breaking the loop, the transport error escaping its handler, nack() acknowledging anyway, the agent filter removed, the scope list truncated to its first entry, Pub/Sub widened back to /v1/**, a third host added, Chat writes opened beyond the spaces tree.

Partly done.

  • The separate global-plugin gate. Not removed.
    • 66 lines at your review, 41 now (agents/hermes/plugin/__init__.py:1436), and it loads the channel-owned module instead of a plugin-local fork.
    • It stays because Hermes loads only __init__.py as the plugin entry, so something has to load the sibling module.
    • Removing it outright means shipping the override as its own Hermes plugin directory. I have not verified plugins are individually enablable in the pinned release, so I am not offering that as the plan yet.
  • "If the pinned Hermes release lacks a stable seam, land that seam." Split answer.
    • Attachment: the seam exists and this now uses it, which is why the registry wrapper is gone.
    • Transport and credentials: there is none — PlatformEntry carries no field for either — so the override subclasses _validate_config, _load_sa_credentials and _new_authed_http.
    • It patches no Hermes source, and image-build-probes.py googlechat-override-seams fails the image build if any of the five bound definitions moves, rather than silently restoring the stock gRPC and service-account adapter. agents/hermes/ already carries nine build-time patches and sixteen such probes against Hermes internals.
    • If "land that seam" means an upstream Hermes change, say so and I will open it. I read the line as a condition rather than a request, so I did not assume.

Missing coverage, flagged rather than left to be found.

  • UV_SYSTEM_CERTS / SSL_CERT_FILE — nothing asserts the uv install receives them. Without them uv trusts only its bundled roots and fails UnknownIssuer behind a MITM proxy. The fix is general rather than Google Chat's, so happy to split it out.
  • The register() gate — nothing covers the subscription env set versus unset. A regression there leaves Hermes on the stock gRPC adapter, which the REST-only policy blocks, so the channel goes quiet instead of failing loudly. Needs the spawned-interpreter shape the adapter test uses, because CI does not run agents/hermes/plugin/test_*.py. The advisor raised this too.
  • E2E for receiving over Pub/Sub REST pullchannels-add-remove and messaging-providers only cover OpenClaw's inbound webhook. A live target needs a real GCP project, subscription and key, so it is recorded as a combinatorial gap; the path was validated by hand end to end on two boxes.

69-103: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Cache the resolved proxy URL instead of scanning /proc per request.

_GcAiohttpTransport.request calls _gc_gateway_proxy_url() for every outbound Chat REST call. Each call globs every PID under /proc and reads a full environ blob until it finds the gateway process. The proxy URL does not change during a gateway lifetime, so this work is repeated for no benefit, and each scan materializes the gateway's whole environment (including secret-shaped values) in memory.

Resolve once and memoize, with an explicit reset path if a future caller needs one.

Pin the attribute seams the override also reads.

The override in src/lib/messaging/channels/googlechat/runtime/hermes-adapter.py binds more than these five definitions. _rest_pull reads self._shutting_down and self._max_messages, connect assigns self._supervisor_task, _new_authed_http reads self._credentials and _gc.AuthorizedHttp/_gc.httplib2, and the dispatch path calls self._on_pubsub_message. A Hermes upgrade that renames any of those passes this probe and then fails at runtime with an AttributeError inside the pull loop, which is exactly the silent-drift case this probe exists to prevent. Add needles for the remaining bound names.

🛡️ Proposed additional seams
         # connect() gates its gRPC subscriber precheck and its own supervisor on

Add a negative-path test for the conditional load gate.

The gate at Line 1445 decides whether the sandbox carries Google Chat behavior at all. No test proves that an unset GOOGLE_CHAT_SUBSCRIPTION_NAME leaves platform_registry untouched, and no test proves that a load failure is logged and swallowed instead of aborting register(). The PR description also lists this gate as a known coverage gap. Add both cases to src/lib/messaging/channels/googlechat/runtime/hermes-adapter.test.ts or a sibling test that drives _install_googlechat_adapter directly.

LOC Reduction / Codebase Simplicity Review

Resolved at 8c5e6c4c25b1d3ce02b97ec8f4fe2bc58edd3072.

The Google Chat delta now lives in the channel-owned runtime asset, subclasses the bundled adapter, calls the bundled connect(), and replaces only the published PlatformEntry fields through the documented registry seam. The global registry wrapper, copied connect implementation, instance method rebinding, and registration-order dependency are gone.

The remaining private Hermes method dependencies are explicit, image-build-pinned, and the REST pull, credential placeholder, allowed operations, acknowledgement behavior, and redelivery behavior now have deterministic runtime coverage.

No remaining blocking LOC or source-of-truth finding. This is a scope-limited follow-up, not an approval or a correctness, security, or CI review.

Resolved at 8c5e6c4; the copied Hermes adapter and global registry wrapper were removed.

The REST pull loop exits only on shutdown, so a second `connect()` on the same
adapter without an intervening `disconnect()` would leave two consumers pulling
one subscription and answering every message twice. Hermes v2026.7.20 builds a
fresh adapter for each reconnect, so this holds the invariant rather than
fixing a reachable path.

Cancelling through the bundled `_supervisor_task` does not work here. On the
no-subscription branch this override takes, `connect()` sets
`self._supervisor_task = None`, so the handle no longer points at a running
pull. Track the task on a subclass-owned `_sandbox_pull_task`, cancel and await
that before starting a replacement, then bind both handles so the bundled
`disconnect()` can still cancel the pull.

The regression test mirrors that upstream assignment in its adapter double,
drives the sequence on observed progress instead of fixed sleeps, and asserts
the first task was cancelled and replaced, that the replacement is reachable
through the bundled handle, and that one delivery is handled once.

Two bridge call sites also mapped any unrecognized agent to OpenClaw, which
would hand a sandbox no channel manifest supports the OpenClaw Google Chat
bridge and its credential. Resolve the agent through `tryGetMessagingAgentId`
instead, keeping the documented default that an unset agent is OpenClaw while a
named unsupported one configures no bridge at all.

Also suppress Ruff S105 on the resolver placeholder, matching the five BLE001
suppressions already in the file.

LOC Reduction / Codebase Simplicity Review

What remains resolved

The earlier adapter-fork finding remains resolved at 9cd2fcc598dd972a975bd9ec2dc5df5bf48f9531. The copied connect() implementation, global registry wrapper, private-method rebinding, and separate plugin-local adapter remain removed.

Why changes are requested

The latest PR commit adds 170 lines and deletes 30. Of that delta, src/lib/messaging/channels/googlechat/runtime/hermes-adapter.py:171,194-229 and its test add 97 net lines for a second pull-task handle and same-instance reconnect path.

_sandbox_pull_task and the bundled _supervisor_task now hold the same task. _stop_rest_pull exists because the bundled connect() clears its handle. However, the method documentation states that Hermes v2026.7.20 creates a fresh adapter for each reconnect. The new lifecycle authority and reconnect scenario therefore protect no current caller while expanding the private Hermes delta that the earlier refactor reduced.

The same commit also repeats agent selection at src/lib/actions/sandbox/policy-channel.ts:862-879 and src/lib/onboard/messaging-prep.ts:146-166. Both callers normalize the agent, consult a manifest registry, map an unset agent to OpenClaw, map an unsupported agent to no bridge, and then call collectMessagingBridgeTokenDefs. That collector already owns the bridge profiles and filters them by profile.agent at src/lib/onboard/messaging-bridge-provider.ts:260-279.

Refactor direction

  • Remove the same-instance reconnect task state and reconnect-only test unless a current Hermes call path requires two connect() calls on one adapter.
  • If that lifecycle is required, keep one task handle and show the reachable caller that needs replacement behavior.
  • Let collectMessagingBridgeTokenDefs own the unset-agent default and unmatched-agent result once. Pass the recorded agent from both callers and let the profile filter select or reject it.

Expected result

Keep the prior channel-owned adapter design, remove roughly 100 lines of unreachable reconnect scaffolding, and use one bridge-agent selection authority instead of two caller-specific branches.

Comment thread src/lib/messaging/channels/googlechat/runtime/hermes-adapter.py Fixed
Comment thread src/lib/messaging/channels/googlechat/runtime/hermes-adapter.py Fixed
…ze bridge agent selection

The previous commit added a second pull-task handle and a same-instance
reconnect path. Its own documentation recorded why that cannot happen: in the
pinned Hermes v2026.7.20 both reconnect paths call `_create_adapter` before
`connect(is_reconnect=True)`, so `connect()` never runs twice on one adapter.
That scaffolding protected no caller while widening the private Hermes surface
the channel-owned refactor had just narrowed. Remove it, leaving two lines that
record the assumption, and `connect()` returns to awaiting the bundled
implementation and starting the pull.

Both bridge callers had also grown the same agent branch: normalize the name,
consult a manifest registry, default an unset agent to OpenClaw, reject an
unsupported one. `messagingBridgeProfilesForAgent` now owns that selection, and
both callers pass the recorded agent unnormalized. `collectMessagingBridgeTokenDefs`
filters through it, and the reuse pass in onboarding selects provider names from
the same filtered profiles, so an agent no profile declares neither mints nor
reuses a bridge.

Removing the empty `except` that CodeQL flagged falls out of the same deletion.

LOC Reduction / Codebase Simplicity Review

Resolution

The prior blocker is resolved at 44eab71c61ef882661bb2b875a578316468d5b64.

  • The latest PR commit removes _sandbox_pull_task, _stop_rest_pull(), and the same-instance reconnect scenario. The Hermes adapter again uses the bundled _supervisor_task as its only pull-task handle.
  • messagingBridgeProfilesForAgent() now owns the unset-agent default and unsupported-agent result. Both token creation and provider reuse use that profile selection instead of repeating caller-specific branches.
  • The follow-up adds 64 lines and deletes 150, for a net reduction of 86 lines.

Result

The earlier channel-owned adapter refactor remains intact. The new reconnect authority and duplicate agent-selection branches are gone, with no replacement LOC or source-of-truth blocker in this review scope.

This resolves only the LOC reduction and codebase simplicity finding. It is not an approval or a correctness, security, or CI review.

Verdict: request changes on 44eab71c61ef882661bb2b875a578316468d5b64.

The keyless transport is thoughtfully constrained: the service-account private key remains gateway-side, the sandbox receives only an OpenShell placeholder, the outbound hosts are fixed, Pub/Sub is limited to :pull and :acknowledge, and the added packages are pinned. Two blockers remain:

  1. The product scope is not accepted for Hermes Google Chat. The linked #5492 is closed and its support table records Google Chat as OpenClaw yes, Hermes no, with NemoClaw Google Chat already completed by #7317. It does not accept this new Hermes runtime/design, and this PR has no closing issue. The repository Product Scope Gate requires an accepted issue or design decision naming the supported channel and agent runtime before implementation or approval. Please get explicit maintainer acceptance covering ownership, lifecycle, compatibility, security, and trusted validation before this is treated as canonical NemoClaw behavior.

  2. Bridge reuse is not bound to the selected agent profile. prepareCreateSandboxMessaging filters profiles for the current agent, but its secretless resume path still accepts any existing <sandbox>-googlechat-bridge based only on name/existence. If a sandbox changes OpenClaw → Hermes (or the reverse), the durable provider can retain the previous agent's profile. In particular, the OpenClaw profile lacks Hermes's Pub/Sub scope, so resume can silently attach a credential that cannot pull events. Reuse must verify the existing provider's selected profileId and credential key, or provider identity must become agent-specific with stale-provider cleanup. Add a public-boundary agent-change/resume test with the source secret absent.

The unresolved CodeRabbit thread at messaging-prep.ts:195 identifies the same second boundary. I left it unresolved. The current head also has failing CLI, managed-runtime, and advisor checks; those need a clean rerun after code changes. Once product scope is accepted, the linked design's lifecycle E2E and user documentation acceptance criteria also need to be completed.

Security rubric summary:

Category Status Evidence
Injection / code execution PASS Fixed HTTPS hosts and structured request construction; policy fails closed outside allowed paths.
Secrets / data leakage PASS Raw service-account material is passed to gateway refresh by secret env and not rendered into the sandbox.
Authentication / authorization FAIL Durable provider reuse is not bound to the current agent/profile identity.
Cryptography PASS OAuth signing and token refresh remain at the gateway boundary.
Network / SSRF PASS Egress is restricted to Chat plus Pub/Sub pull/ack endpoints and exact Python executables.
Supply chain PASS Added wheels and agent package versions are pinned and checksum/integrity gated.
Configuration safety FAIL Agent changes can reuse stale bridge configuration with incompatible scopes.
Testing / verification FAIL No public-boundary agent-change resume regression; required lifecycle E2E/docs are not present.
Repository governance FAIL No accepted design currently authorizes Google Chat as a supported Hermes surface.

I did not push an implementation because the repository's Product Scope Gate explicitly says to stop and request maintainer direction when this decision is missing.

A bridge provider is named `<sandbox>-<channel>-bridge`, which carries no agent,
and onboard offers to delete and recreate a sandbox name under a different agent
(`getSandboxAgentDrift`, with messaging preparation running earlier in the same
function). Recreate cleanup detaches the provider but keeps it for reuse, so an
OpenClaw Google Chat provider could be reattached to a Hermes sandbox whenever
the source secret was no longer resolvable. That mints the previous agent's
token: for Hermes an OpenClaw profile whose scopes omit pubsub, which fails
`:pull` with 403.

Reuse now walks the selected bridge profiles and checks the gateway binding with
`providerMatchesGatewayCredential` instead of accepting any provider with the
right name. The two Google Chat profiles carry distinct ids, and the id becomes
the gateway provider type, so a stale binding no longer matches.

Refusing the stale provider exposed an older gap: a selected bridge channel with
no usable provider and no source secret simply vanished from the create intent,
and onboard can act on that intent by deleting and recreating the sandbox.
Report those channels and fail the preflight, naming the secret to supply, the
same way the `channels add` path already does.

Destroy also skipped these providers entirely: its suffix set is derived from
manifest credentials, and a bridge-profile channel declares none. Derive the
bridge suffixes from the profiles as well, deduplicated because a channel may
ship one profile per agent. Cleanup stays best-effort — `provider delete` runs
with `ignoreError` — so the reuse check above is the guarantee, not cleanup.

A public-boundary test covers the ordering the guard depends on. It drives the
real `createSandbox` in a child process with an existing OpenClaw sandbox, a
requested Hermes agent, Google Chat selected, no source secret, and a gateway
still holding the OpenClaw binding. It asserts the child exits with the guard's
own status, that neither completion marker is reached, that the binding is read
exactly once, and that nothing mutates: no sandbox delete, no provider attach or
detach, no provider create, update or delete, no registry write. Removing the
preflight exit, emptying the reported channels, reverting reuse to a name-only
check, or leaving the binding unread each fail it.

Both cases in that file now use `test/helpers/onboard-child-process-harness.ts`
rather than hand-rolling the workspace, environment, spawn, result decoding and
cleanup, since adding the second case is what made that duplication exist.

Derive bridge suffixes from the shared naming helper.

SANDBOX_PROVIDER_SUFFIXES rebuilds ${profile.channelId}-bridge, while bridgeProviderNameFor owns the bridge naming rule. Export a suffix helper and use it here so provider cleanup remains aligned when the naming rule changes.

70-104: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Consider caching the resolved proxy URL.

_gc_gateway_proxy_url() scans every entry in /proc and reads /proc/<pid>/environ on each outbound Chat REST call. The gateway proxy value does not change during a session. Cache the first non-empty result in a module-level variable and reuse it. Keep the scan as the fallback when the cache is empty.

233-248: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Consider exponential backoff for repeated pull failures.

Both failure branches sleep a fixed 3 seconds. A persistent failure, for example a 403 from the Pub/Sub policy or a proxy outage, produces a continuous warn-and-retry loop at 20 requests per minute for the life of the sandbox. Increase the delay on consecutive failures and reset it after a successful pull. Cap the delay at a small maximum so recovery stays fast.

192-208: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Make the positional createSandbox call resistant to signature drift.

The call passes 15 positional arguments, and 9 of them are null. If a parameter is inserted or reordered in createSandbox, every later argument shifts silently. The test can still pass, because the guard under test fires on the agent and channel combination before the shifted arguments are read.

Add a short comment naming each position, or assert createSandbox.length before the call so a signature change fails the test instead of degrading it.

97-140: 🔒 Security & Privacy | 🔵 Trivial | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Add coverage for the credential and registration seams.

The driver exercises _rest_pull only. install(), _validate_config, _load_sa_credentials, _new_authed_http, and _gc_gateway_proxy_url have no test. Two of those are the security-relevant paths in this file:

  • _load_sa_credentials must return the placeholder and must never return a real key.
  • install() must leave Hermes untouched when the google_chat entry is absent, and must preserve the bundled entry fields through dataclasses.replace.

Both are testable with the existing stub workspace. Add a google.auth.credentials stub and a gateway.platform_registry stub, then assert the registered entry carries the subclass, the placeholder token, and the unchanged bundled metadata.

The channel guidelines require focused negative tests for credential failures and malformed configuration, and the repository guidelines require extra test coverage for security-sensitive code paths under src/**.

Merge-train blocker: accepted product scope is required

This PR creates a supported Google Chat integration for Hermes but does not link an accepted issue or design decision. The change adds 1,515 lines and removes 113 across 32 files, for a net increase of 1,402 lines. It also has four unresolved current review threads.

The repository product-scope gate requires a maintainer decision that defines ownership, lifecycle, compatibility, security, and validation expectations before this can become canonical NemoClaw behavior. CI repair alone cannot supply that decision.

Deferred for human direction. To resume the merge train, please link the accepted issue or design decision and confirm the intended release target. The current review findings and required checks must then pass on the resulting branch revision. No merge or close action is appropriate without that decision.

Shaping a REST receivedMessage decodes its base64 payload, and that
construction sat outside the per-message guard. A delivery whose data
field cannot be decoded raised out of the loop, and nothing restarts
the pull: connect() starts the task once, no callback observes it, and
the platform keeps reporting itself connected because the bundled
is_connected hook reads configuration only. Inbound would go quiet for
the rest of the session.

Guarding the construction alone would leave the poisoned delivery
eligible for repeated redelivery until the subscription's own retention
or dead-letter policy retired it, since redelivery cannot repair the
same bytes and GOOGLE_CHAT_MAX_MESSAGES defaults to one per pull. The
guard now acknowledges it, which is how the bundled handler retires an
envelope it cannot parse. The handler branch is unchanged and
synthesizes no acknowledgement, because the handler owns that policy
and its failure can be transient.

Neighbouring reads shared the defect and are covered now: the ack id,
which raises on a receivedMessages entry that is not a mapping, and the
envelope read, materialised inside the pull guard so that a 200 body
which is not an object and a receivedMessages which is not iterable
both become failed pulls that retry.

The scripted aiohttp double signalled a refused connection through
assert, which python -O strips. An inherited PYTHONOPTIMIZE turned that
refusal into an ordinary non-200 response, so the acknowledge-transport
scenario still observed two pulls and two handled messages with the
production guard removed. Both checks now raise explicitly, and the
refusal raises ConnectionError, which reaches the pull loop through the
same clause a real proxy refusal would.

One scenario carries all four malformed shapes, and reverting any
single guard fails it. The transport scenario pins the double: it fails
under PYTHONOPTIMIZE=1 when the acknowledge guard stops catching
transport errors.
The Hermes portable build context walks every directory the Dockerfile
copies and rejects a file that its reviewed manifest does not name, so
the five files this branch adds under the Google Chat channel failed
installer-integration on the first one it reached.

Its Dockerfile parser also rejects a COPY that continues onto a second
line, which the new plugin-asset COPY did. Join that instruction, name
its source in the local COPY allowlist, and add the five files to the
reviewed manifest.

The parser and the reviewed manifest are the same two lists the gate
compares, so both had to move together. installer-integration clones
the pushed revision rather than the working tree, so this was verified
by running the parser against the working tree and by the unit suite
under src/lib/onboard/experimental, which builds its fixture from the
manifest.

Update after the latest branch push: the product-scope blocker is unchanged. The PR still links no accepted issue or design decision, and the diff has grown to 1,568 additions and 113 deletions across 32 files, for a net increase of 1,455 lines.

Technical review and CI remediation remain deferred until a maintainer records the supported Google Chat ownership, lifecycle, compatibility, security, and validation contract. This update does not authorize merge or close action.

The accepted issue is #5492, now linked in the body with the scope reasoning and the release target.

That issue models support per agent and requires a channel to work for each runtime whose upstream supports it. Hermes v2026.7.20 ships plugins/platforms/google_chat/adapter.py, so this is the Hermes half of an already accepted design, not a new supported surface. #7317 shipped the OpenClaw half and the issue was closed with only that half done; it is reopened and its table now records Google Chat as yes across all three columns against this PR. Ownership, lifecycle, security and validation are the ones it already defines. Release target: next patch release.

The figures read one revision behind: head 3668e10e9 is 1,573 additions and 113 deletions across 34 files, with no unresolved review thread.

If anything beyond #5492 must be recorded, name it and I will add it.

@prekshivyas Both blockers are addressed. Head is 3668e10e9; your review was at 44eab71c6.

Product scope. #5492 is the accepted issue: it models support per agent and requires a channel to work for each runtime whose upstream supports it, and Hermes v2026.7.20 ships plugins/platforms/google_chat/adapter.py. #7317 delivered the OpenClaw half and the issue was closed with only that half done, which is why its table read Hermes no. It is reopened, the row now reads yes across all three columns against this PR, and the body carries the reasoning and the release target.

Bridge reuse. Fixed in 62d6e5dd9f, one commit after the revision you reviewed. messagingBridgeProfilesForAgent is the single authority for which profiles an agent may use, the secretless resume path validates a candidate with providerMatchesGatewayCredential(name, profileId, credentialKey) rather than name and existence, preflight fails the run before onboard can delete and recreate the sandbox, and destroy derives the bridge suffixes from the profiles.

messaging-prep.test.ts covers reuse for the matching agent, refusal across agents, and refusal without an exact gateway binding. test/onboard-pre-destructive-intent.test.ts adds the public-boundary case you asked for: an agent change with the source secret absent, driven through a real onboard child process, asserted to exit before any mutating command. The CodeRabbit thread at messaging-prep.ts:195 is resolved, and 27 checks are green with one managed-image build still running.

Live validation is recorded in the body, and a Google Chat E2E target needs a real GCP project, subscription and key.
