+- qg5c: `_approval_callback` was a module-global in terminal_tool;

+- ``"stale"`` — pushes one error on ``didOpen``, then goes SILENT on

+"""Skip the per-file shell linter when LSP will handle the same file.
+
+The per-file ``npx tsc --noEmit FILE.ts`` shell linter cannot see
+``tsconfig.json`` (a documented ``tsc`` quirk: explicit file args bypass
+the project config), so it defaults to no-lib / ES5 and floods the
+agent's lint field with phantom "Cannot find 'Promise' / 'Map' / 'Set' /
+'ReadonlySet' / 'Iterable' / 'imul' / …" errors on every edit — up to
+25K tokens per patch.  The LSP tier (``tsserver`` via
+typescript-language-server) reads tsconfig correctly and surfaces real
+diagnostics in the ``lsp_diagnostics`` field of the WriteResult /
+PatchResult.
+
+These tests pin the contract:
+
+  - When LSP is active AND ``enabled_for(path)`` for a ``.ts`` / ``.go``
+    / ``.rs`` file, ``_check_lint`` returns ``skipped`` without invoking
+    the shell linter at all.
+  - When LSP is inactive or disabled-for-path, the shell linter runs
+    exactly as before (regression guard for the default config).
+  - The skip only applies to extensions in
+    ``_SHELL_LINTER_LSP_REDUNDANT`` — Python ``py_compile`` and
+    ``node --check`` keep running unconditionally because they're fast,
+    file-local, and correct.
+  - ``.tsx`` is intentionally NOT in either ``LINTERS`` or
+    ``_SHELL_LINTER_LSP_REDUNDANT``: it had no ``LINTERS`` entry
+    pre-PR (so it was already implicitly ``skipped`` via the
+    ``ext not in LINTERS`` branch) and adding one would have inherited
+    ``.ts``'s broken ``tsc --noEmit FILE`` invocation for LSP-disabled
+    users.  When LSP IS enabled, ``.tsx`` is still covered by
+    typescript-language-server via ``_maybe_lsp_diagnostics`` — the
+    diagnostics show up on ``lsp_diagnostics``, not ``lint``.

+"""Regression tests: HTTP 413 recovery must score progress in BYTES.
+
+Bug (#88960 / #47339): a 413 is a *byte*-size error, but the recovery loop in
+``agent/conversation_loop.py`` scored compression progress with
+``estimate_messages_tokens_rough``, which deliberately prices every image at
+a flat per-image token cost so screenshots don't trigger premature
+compaction.  When the payload is image-dominated that progress test can never
+be satisfied: in the reporting session two ``vision_analyze`` results were
+5,627,202 bytes — 96.6% of the request body — while contributing only ~3K of
+the ~80K token estimate.  Compaction (post-#97160) frees those megabytes, but
+the token-scored check reported "no progress", burned all three attempts, and
+wedged the session permanently at 13% context usage.
+
+The fix: the 413 no-progress check measures ``serialized_messages_bytes``
+(exact, free) before and after each compression pass, never the token
+estimate.  These tests assert that invariant directly.

+2. ``_available_entries()`` only refused to lease empty *API-key* rows, so the

+The existing race/write-through suites build ``CredentialPool`` objects

+"""Failure-injection coverage for the Anthropic refresh *commit* step.
+
+Anthropic OAuth refresh tokens are single-use: the POST that returns a new
+pair also invalidates the one that was sent.  The replacement therefore exists
+only in memory until it reaches its authoritative on-disk store —
+``~/.claude/.credentials.json`` for ``claude_code`` entries,
+``~/.hermes/.anthropic_oauth.json`` for ``hermes_pkce`` ones.  Those singletons
+are authoritative in the strict sense: ``_seed_from_singletons()`` re-reads
+them on every ``load_pool()`` and writes what it finds over the pool row.
+
+Before this coverage existed, both writers caught ``OSError``/``IOError``,
+logged at debug level, and returned nothing, so no caller could tell a durable
+commit from a failed one.  A refresh could therefore spend the only refresh
+token, report success, and leave the consumed pre-rotation pair on disk to be
+re-seeded — with the next refresh replaying a spent token and failing with
+``invalid_grant`` / ``refresh_token_reused``.
+
+Every test here forces the writer to fail and asserts the same invariant from
+a different entry point: the rotation is never reported, marked, or persisted
+as successful, and a subsequent ``load_pool()`` cannot bring the pre-refresh
+pair back as a usable credential.
+
+Companions: ``test_credential_pool_oauth_writethrough.py`` covers the
+successful write-through, ``test_credential_pool_anthropic_refresh_race.py``
+the contention between two refreshers.

+Anthropic's subscription/OAuth billing classifier treats a **single-underscore**
+``mcp_`` tool name as a third-party-app fingerprint and rejects the request with
+HTTP 400 "Third-party apps now draw from extra usage, not plan limits".  So on
+the OAuth wire NOTHING may carry a single-underscore ``mcp_`` prefix:
+
+  * bare native tools            ``read_file``            -> ``mcp__read_file``
+  * native MCP server tools      ``mcp_linear_get_issue`` -> ``mcp__linear_get_issue``
+
+``normalize_response`` reverses the ``mcp__`` wire name back to whatever the tool
+registry knows (the single-underscore ``mcp_<server>_<tool>`` form for MCP server
+tools, or the bare name for native tools) so the dispatcher is unaffected.

+"""Regression tests for the Anthropic OAuth PKCE flow.

+Guards against re-introducing the bug where the PKCE ``code_verifier`` was
+reused as the OAuth ``state`` parameter, leaking the verifier via the
+authorization URL (browser history, Referer headers, auth-server logs) and
+removing CSRF protection on the callback path.
+
+History:
+  - PR #1775 first fixed this on ``run_hermes_oauth_login()``.
+  - PR #2647 (b17e5c10) added ``run_hermes_oauth_login_pure()`` and silently
+    copy-pasted the pre-#1775 vulnerable pattern.
+  - PR #3107 removed the old function, leaving only the regressed copy.
+  - PR #10699 (issue #10693) fixed the regression on the surviving function.

+"""A rotation that was consumed but never committed must stay unusable.

+``_refresh_oauth_token()`` already refuses to return an access token whose
+refresh half was lost to a failed write.  That verdict was local: the caller
+above it (``resolve_anthropic_token()``) simply continued to the next source,
+and source 5 (``_resolve_anthropic_pool_token``) enumerates read-only
+(``clear_expired=False, refresh=False``) over a pool that ``load_pool()`` has
+just re-seeded from the *unchanged* singleton file.  So the very pair whose
+refresh token the POST had already spent came back as a healthy token, and
+``_refresh_provider_credentials("anthropic")`` reported the refresh as a
+success and evicted its cached clients.
+
+That is the same silent-transition failure the fail-closed path exists to
+prevent, one layer up: no ``invalid_grant`` is raised until the *next* refresh,
+by which point the provenance of the failure is gone.
+
+These tests take the full resolver path, not just the writer: successful POST +
+failed commit must make ``resolve_anthropic_token()`` return ``None`` (or a
+genuinely independent credential), must make
+``_refresh_provider_credentials("anthropic")`` return ``False`` when the spent
+family is the only credential, and must keep the spent fingerprint out of every
+lease.
+
+Companion: ``test_anthropic_credential_persist_failure.py`` covers the writers
+and the pool quarantine; this file covers what resolution does afterwards.

+"""Regression test for the Anthropic interleaved thinking-block 400.
+
+Reproduces: HTTP 400 ``messages.N.content.M: thinking or redacted_thinking
+blocks in the latest assistant message cannot be modified. These blocks must
+remain as they were in the original response.``
+
+Root cause under test
+----------------------
+With adaptive / interleaved thinking (Claude 4.6+, e.g. Opus 4.8), a single
+assistant turn can emit content blocks in an interleaved order::
+
+    thinking_1 (signed) · tool_use_1 · thinking_2 (signed) · tool_use_2
+
+Anthropic signs each thinking block against the turn content that precedes it
+at its position.  ``thinking_2`` is signed with ``tool_use_1`` before it.
+
+``AnthropicTransport.normalize_response`` (agent/transports/anthropic.py)
+splits the turn into two *parallel* lists — ``reasoning_details`` (thinking
+blocks) and ``tool_calls`` (tool_use blocks) — discarding the cross-type
+ordering.  ``run_agent`` stores those as separate fields on the assistant
+message.  On replay, ``_convert_assistant_message`` (agent/anthropic_adapter.py)
+rebuilds the content as ``[all thinking][text][all tool_use]``, which reorders
+``thinking_2`` ahead of ``tool_use_1``.  The signature no longer matches its
+original position, so Anthropic rejects the latest assistant message with the
+400 above.
+
+This test asserts that an interleaved turn round-trips through
+normalize_response -> stored message -> convert_messages_to_anthropic with its
+block order preserved.  It FAILS on the current code (documenting the bug) and
+should PASS once block ordering is preserved on replay.

+thinking off is trying to stop paying for.  The disable has to be sent:
+
+    thinking: {"type": "disabled"}
+
+Reasoning-mandatory families (claude-fable) reject that with an HTTP 400
+("Thinking is mandatory for this model"), so they keep the omission — a
+silently-ignored disable is a much better failure than a dead turn.
+
+Legacy manual-thinking Claude (<= 4.5) needs no disable at all: thinking is
+opt-in there via ``budget_tokens``, so sending nothing already means off.

+BUG LOCATION
+    agent/anthropic_adapter.py lines 1218, 1226, 1245
+
+ROOT CAUSE
+    resolve_anthropic_token() calls os.getenv() directly at three call sites,
+    bypassing get_secret() from agent/secret_scope.py:
+
+        line 1218: os.getenv("ANTHROPIC_TOKEN", "")
+        line 1226: os.getenv("CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN", "")
+        line 1245: os.getenv("ANTHROPIC_API_KEY", "")
+
+    Every other credential reader in the resolution chain (hermes_cli/runtime_provider.py
+    _getenv, secret_scope.get_secret) correctly uses the profile-scoped wrapper.
+
+IMPACT
+    In a multiplexed gateway (set_multiplex_active(True)), any Anthropic API call
+    reads the process-level os.environ instead of the active profile's secret scope.
+    This causes:
+      - Cross-profile credential leakage (profile A's key used for profile B's turn)
+      - Cron jobs in multiplex mode silently reading the wrong key
+      - No fail-closed signal (UnscopedSecretError) when no scope is installed
+
+STATUS
+    All tests in this file are RED (failing) while the bug exists.
+    They turn GREEN when os.getenv() at the three sites is replaced with
+    get_secret() from agent.secret_scope (matching the pattern in runtime_provider.py).

+"""Credit-limited 402 handling: clamp to the affordable budget and retry.

+Regression tests for the masoria stall (Aug 2026): compression fell back to
+OpenRouter, which defaulted the omitted output cap to the model's full 65,536
+window and rejected with ``402 ... can only afford 7117`` — three times in a
+row — on an account whose balance easily covered a summary.
+
+Two coordinated fixes:
+
+1. ``_build_call_kwargs`` preserves an explicit ``max_tokens`` for OpenRouter
+   routes (salvage of PR #41055 by @liuhao1024, issue #41035).
+2. ``_create_with_progress`` retries ONCE with the provider-stated affordable
+   budget when a 402 names one (pattern proven in closed PR #49785 for the

+"""#99692 — the streamed auxiliary summary must not outlive its compression host.
+
+Background
+----------
+``run_compress_context_with_progress_timeout`` arms a wall-clock deadline on the
+``CompressionCommitFence`` (``set_total_ceiling_seconds``), whose docstring calls
+it "the wall-clock deadline **shared by the host and worker**".  Only the host
+ever read it.
+
+``8207862212`` (fix(compression): stop timeout paths from blocking retries)
+closed the first half: a cancelled fence now releases the compression OWNER,
+which frees the pool slot and the session lease.  It left the second half open
+by design — its own comment says the isolated provider daemon runs on "until
+the auxiliary stream's longer absolute ceiling expires".
+
+That ceiling is ``_aux_stream_total_ceiling`` = ``max(600, 4 * aux_timeout)``:
+>= the default host ceiling (600s) for every configured timeout, and it starts
+counting later (after pool admission, serialization, prompt build and TTFT).
+So the daemon holding the socket is *always* still streaming when its host gives
+up — 2400s with the reporter's ``auxiliary.compression.timeout: 600`` — billing
+every token of a summary the fence is already guaranteed to refuse, and stacking
+one fresh orphan per turn because the session never shrank.
+
+These tests pin the missing half of that shared deadline: the stream consumer
+must stop at the host's deadline, including on the isolated provider daemon
+that ``_run_protected_sync_provider_call`` spawns.

+"""Tests for auxiliary client routing of the ``azure-foundry`` provider.
+
+Covers the dedicated branch in ``agent.auxiliary_client.resolve_provider_client``
+that delegates to :func:`hermes_cli.runtime_provider._resolve_azure_foundry_runtime`
+instead of falling into the generic ``resolve_api_key_provider_credentials``
+path (which only knows about ``AZURE_FOUNDRY_API_KEY`` and would 401 for
+Entra ID users and miss ``model.base_url`` overrides for api-key users
+with non-standard Foundry-projects endpoints).
+
+Pinned scenarios:
+
+  * ``auth_mode: api_key`` → plain OpenAI client with the static string
+    key for ``chat_completions``.
+  * ``auth_mode: entra_id`` + ``chat_completions`` → plain OpenAI
+    client with a callable ``api_key`` (the bearer-token provider) —
+    confirms the callable survives the auxiliary path end-to-end.
+  * ``auth_mode: entra_id`` + GPT-5.x model → CodexAuxiliaryClient
+    wrapping the OpenAI client (api_mode auto-upgrades to
+    codex_responses).
+  * Anthropic-style + entra_id → rejected at the runtime resolver,
+    so the aux path returns ``(None, None)``.
+  * Failure path when no model is configured returns ``(None, None)``
+    cleanly so the auto chain falls through.

+"""Regression tests for the compression-scoped auxiliary timeout floor (#54915).
+
+Context compression summarises large conversation histories.  When the
+resolved auxiliary provider is a reasoning model (e.g. Codex / GPT-5.5) the
+summary can legitimately exceed the default ``auxiliary.compression.timeout``
+of 120 s, causing the stream to time out and the compressor to fall back to a
+deterministic context marker — silently losing the LLM summary.
+
+The fix layers a *bounded* timeout floor on top of the config-derived
+compression timeout, while honouring the four constraints from the issue:
+
+  * Only the ``compression`` task gets the floor (other auxiliary tasks keep
+    their own timeouts).
+  * An explicit per-call ``timeout=`` override is **not** floored.
+  * The floor is a minimum — a config value already above it is unchanged.
+  * Both the sync (``call_llm``) and async (``async_call_llm``) paths are

+"""Tests for resolve_provider_client's ``custom`` + ``explicit_base_url`` branch
+when the endpoint speaks Anthropic Messages.
+
+When the main provider is ``custom`` and its ``base_url`` ends in ``/anthropic``
+(a proxied Anthropic gateway — MiniMax, Zhipu GLM, LiteLLM, or a self-hosted
+LLM proxy), auxiliary tasks reach ``resolve_provider_client("custom",

+per-task ``auxiliary.<task>`` override, or via ``_resolve_auto`` Step 1 which
+forwards the main runtime's ``api_mode``.
+
+The bug (issue #16254): this branch called ``_to_openai_base_url()``
+unconditionally, stripping the ``/anthropic`` tail to ``/v1`` even for
+``api_mode=anthropic_messages``.  The Anthropic wrapper then never saw the real
+``/anthropic`` path, so every side task (title generation, compression, vision,
+web_extract, session_search) hit ``.../v1/chat/completions`` on a Messages-only
+endpoint and failed.  The sibling named-custom-provider branch already guarded
+the rewrite on ``api_mode``; this makes the explicit-base branch consistent.

+"""Regression tests for the ``auto`` → main-model-first policy.
+
+Prior to this change, aggregator users (OpenRouter / Nous Portal) had aux
+tasks routed through a cheap provider-side default (Gemini Flash) while
+non-aggregator users got their main model.  This made behavior inconsistent
+and surprising — users picked Claude but got Gemini Flash summaries.
+
+The current policy: ``auto`` means "use my main chat model" for every user,
+regardless of provider type.  Explicit per-task overrides in ``config.yaml``
+(``auxiliary.<task>.provider``) still win.  The cheap fallback chain only
+runs when the main provider has no working client.

+and by default it inherits the parent's live runtime. When the parent provider IS
+an autonomous agent reached through a client shim that cannot carry Hermes tool
+calls back, that fork is a guaranteed no-op — one that still pays for a full
+agent spawn (a whole CLI process, sometimes a JVM) on every review cadence.
+
+So: a client declaring ``SUPPORTS_HERMES_TOOL_CALLS = False`` skips the fork with
+a log line pointing at the ``auxiliary.background_review`` override. A client
+that can emit tool calls is unaffected, as are ordinary providers whose clients
+say nothing at all.
