* fix: dynamic version badge — read from git tag, never hardcoded
The settings panel showed v0.50.87 and the HTTP Server: header said
HermesWebUI/0.50.38 — both hardcoded strings that drift further behind
with every release because there was no mechanism to keep them in sync.
Changes:
- api/updates.py: add _run_git() (moved before _detect_webui_version),
_detect_webui_version(), and WEBUI_VERSION module constant resolved
once at import time via 'git describe --tags --always --dirty'.
Fallback chain: git → api/_version.py → 'unknown'.
- api/routes.py: inject webui_version into GET /api/settings response
so the frontend can read it without a separate API call.
- static/panels.js: loadSettingsPanel() populates .settings-version-badge
from settings.webui_version — one line after the existing api() call.
- static/index.html: replace stale hardcoded 'v0.50.87' with '—'
placeholder; JS overwrites it as soon as the settings panel opens.
- server.py: replace hardcoded 'HermesWebUI/0.50.38' server_version with
'HermesWebUI/' + WEBUI_VERSION.lstrip('v') — stays in sync automatically.
- Dockerfile: add ARG HERMES_VERSION=unknown and write api/_version.py
so Docker images (where .git is excluded) still show the correct tag.
- .github/workflows/release.yml: pass build-args: HERMES_VERSION=${{ github.ref_name }}
to the Docker build step on tag pushes.
- .gitignore: exclude api/_version.py (generated by Docker/CI, never committed).
No manual 'update the version badge' step is required going forward.
Tagging is sufficient — the badge and HTTP header update automatically.
Tests: 18 new tests in tests/test_version_badge.py covering the full
resolution chain, /api/settings injection, HTML placeholder, JS wiring,
and server.py import. 1596 tests pass total.
* fix: address review feedback on PR #790
- api/updates.py: replace exec() with regex parse for api/_version.py
(no supply-chain risk from build artifact; exec unnecessary for one assignment)
- api/updates.py: cap git describe timeout at 3s (was 10s — import-time
stall on NFS/.git would block server startup unnecessarily)
- server.py: lstrip('v') → removeprefix('v') (lstrip strips chars not prefix)
- server.py: emit bare 'HermesWebUI' when version is 'unknown' rather than
'HermesWebUI/unknown' (log aggregators expect semver-ish suffix or none)
- CHANGELOG.md: add v0.50.124 entry for this user-visible change
- tests: rename exec-error test to reflect regex behaviour; add tests for
removeprefix usage and unknown-version header guard (1598 tests total)

Removes stale webui-mvp AGENTS.md and expands .gitignore to block all agent-local context files from being committed. Fixes .claude/* → .claude/ (directory block).
* fix: approval pending check broken by stale has_pending import (#228)
api/routes.py imported has_pending/pop_pending from tools.approval, but the
agent module renamed has_pending to has_blocking_approval (checks gateway
queue, not _pending dict) and removed pop_pending. The import fell through
to fallback lambdas that always returned False, making GET /api/approval/pending
always return {pending:null} even after a successful inject_test.
Fix: check _pending directly under _lock — same dict submit_pending writes to.
Stale imports removed.
Before: 554 pass, 1 fail | After: 555 pass, 0 fail
* fix: move login JS into external file, remove inline handlers (#226)
Login page used inline onsubmit/onkeydown handlers and an inline <script>
block — all blocked by strict script-src CSP, causing silent login failure.
Fix: extract doLogin() and Enter key listener into static/login.js (served
from /static/, already a public path). Form uses id='login-form' and
data-* attributes for i18n strings instead of injected JS literals.
Also guards res.json() parse with try/catch so non-JSON error bodies
(e.g. HTTP 500) show the password-error fallback instead of 'Connection failed'.
Fixes#222.
* fix: improve update error messages when pull fails (#227)
_apply_update_inner() ran git pull --ff-only and returned only raw stderr
on failure, making all failure modes indistinguishable.
Fix: explicit git fetch before pull; if fetch fails, returns human-readable
network error. Diverged history and missing upstream tracking branch each
get distinct messages with exact recovery commands. Generic fallback
truncates to 300 chars and shows sentinel when git produces no output.
Also adds tests/test_update_checker.py with 13 tests covering all 4 new
diagnostic code paths (0 tests existed before).
Fixes#223.
* fix: stabilize 30s terminal approval prompt visibility (#225)
Adds minimum 30-second visibility guard for the approval card using
_approvalVisibleSince, _approvalHideTimer, and a signature fingerprint
to deduplicate repeated poll ticks.
Fix: respondApproval() and all stream-end paths (done/cancel/apperror/
error/start-error) now call hideApprovalCard(true) so the card hides
immediately when the user responds or the session ends. The 30s guard
only applies to mid-session poll ticks where the approval is still live
but briefly absent.
Adds 11 structural tests covering the new timer variables, force
parameter, force-on-respond, force-on-stream-end, and poll-loop
no-force behavior.
* feat: replace emoji icons with self-hosted Lucide SVG icons (#221)
Replaces all sidebar/button emoji icons with SVG paths from Lucide bundled
in static/icons.js (no CDN dependency). Adds li(name) function returning
inline SVG geometry from a hardcoded whitelist — unknown keys return '' so
dynamic server-supplied names never inject arbitrary SVG.
Changes:
- static/icons.js: new file with 21 icon paths + li() renderer
- static/index.html: all nav/action buttons now use li() icons
- static/ui.js: toolIcon(), fileIcon() use li() for tool/file icons
- static/messages.js: cancelStream button uses SVG square stop icon
- .gitignore: adds node_modules/ entry
Verified: all 35 onclick= functions exist in JS, all 21 li() calls
reference defined icons, applyBotName() selectors intact, version
label present, no removed IDs referenced by JS.
* docs: v0.44.0 release notes, bump version, update test counts
