dsh-hermes-bridge

dsh-hermes-bridge

DSH ↔ WeChat bridge plugin: inbound dispatch (WeChat → DSH agent) + outbound push (DSH → WeChat), powered by the Hermes gateway as the WeChat transport. Zero-LLM outbound push via hermes send, and a persistent per-cwd session pool that reuses DSH agent sessions (15–20× cheaper than one-shot headless invocations).

微信 ↔ DSH 双向桥插件：入站调度（微信消息 → DSH agent 执行）+ 出站推送（任务进度/结果 → 微信）。出站走 hermes send 零 LLM 消耗；按工作目录复用常驻会话，比一次性 headless 调用省 15–20× token。

⚠️ Read this first — environment assumptions. This plugin was developed against one specific environment (see Environment assumptions). DSH and Hermes deployments vary wildly between users; this plugin cannot work out-of-the-box everywhere. Please review the assumptions and adapt the configuration to your setup before expecting it to run.

⚠️ 先读环境假设。 本插件基于特定开发环境编写（见「环境假设」章节）。DSH 与 Hermes 的部署方式千奇百怪，本插件无法开箱即用于所有环境，请先核对假设并适配你的配置。

Why

The one-way manual chain "WeChat → Hermes skill → dsh --profile headless" works but burns tokens on cold starts, loses session context between messages, and cannot notify you when a long task finishes. This plugin productizes the chain as a first-class DSH plugin:

• Session reuse — agents stay alive per working directory (ctx.agents.create/resume + followup), so follow-up messages continue the same conversation.
• Automatic pushback — every task reports 接单 → 开跑 → 完成/失败 to WeChat with structured changes / verification / leftovers.
• Zero-LLM outbound — notifications go through hermes send (iLink REST), no model call, no gateway dependency for bot-token platforms.
• Web UI visible — tasks are registered via ctx.jobs (falls back gracefully when the job controller is absent).

How it works

WeChat ──▶ Hermes gateway ──▶ dsh-run.sh (bridge-first) ──▶ POST 127.0.0.1:8643/v1/tasks
                                                              │
                                                              ▼
                                              persistent session pool (per cwd)
                                                              │
                                          DSH agent (full toolset, followup + whenIdle)
                                                              │
WeChat ◀── hermes send ──◀── structured result pushback ──◀──┘

Inbound: Hermes (or any HTTP client) POSTs a task to the plugin's loopback endpoint. The plugin dispatches to the per-cwd resident agent session and pushes progress back via hermes send. If the bridge is down, the shell script falls back to one-shot dsh --profile headless.

Environment assumptions

Developed and verified on one specific machine (see the deployment notes in DEVELOPMENT.md). Your environment will differ; check each item:

Assumption	Value used here	What to adapt on your side
DSH version	0.1.0-rc.7 (Node ≥ 22)	ctx.agents / ctx.agentPresets / session APIs are rc-stage snapshots — a DSH upgrade may break them. Pin the rc range you run, or adjust code.
DSH profile	web profile (persistent host; dsh web keeps the plugin resident)	A headless-only deployment must host the plugin some other way (its HTTP loopback must stay alive).
DSH model config	provider: tokenrhythm / model: deepseek-v4-flash-0731 (from your ~/.dsh/settings.yaml agent-default-model)	Point provider/model at your default model. {{model}} is resolved from agentOptions.model — if the persona template says {{model}} has no value, you are missing model.
Hermes install	venv at ~/.hermes/hermes-agent/venv/bin/hermes, gateway service hermes-gateway.service (user systemd)	hermesBin config must point at your hermes CLI; the gateway service name/port may differ.
WeChat channel	iLink personal-bot channel (ilinkai.weixin.qq.com) reached by Hermes	Your channel may be Telegram/Discord/Slack/etc. The outbound path only needs hermes send --to <platform>:<target> — switch pushTarget accordingly. The inbound trigger (Hermes skill / hook) is channel-specific.
hermes send targets	verified with hermes send --list	Run hermes send --list yourself; chat IDs are environment-specific.
HTTP loopback	127.0.0.1:8643	Change port if it collides; the host is hardcoded to loopback (security).
Session persistence	~/.dsh/sessions (per-user)	If your DSH_HOME differs, session resume paths change accordingly.

Known limits (not bugs):

• WeChat rate limit: the iLink channel throttles sendmessage (ret=-2 → 30s cooldown, handled by Hermes). Bursts of pushes can be dropped/serialized. Keep push volume low (the plugin pushes once per task state, which is fine).
• No auth layer on the host: dsh web has no authentication by design. Run it loopback-only; do not expose it.
• rc-stage API drift: any DSH upgrade needs a regression pass (see DEVELOPMENT.md for what to re-verify).

Install

From GitHub (npm publish pending — package name reserved as @dsh-pulse/dsh-hermes-bridge):

git clone https://github.com/dsh-pulse/dsh-hermes-bridge.git
cd dsh-hermes-bridge && npm install   # installs peer deps if missing

# register in your web profile patch
cat >> ~/.dsh/profiles/web/cordis.patch.yml <<'EOF'
- insert:
    - id: hermes-bridge
      name: 'file:/absolute/path/to/dsh-hermes-bridge/lib/index.js'
      config:
        port: 8643
        authToken: '${env.DSH_BRIDGE_TOKEN}'   # REQUIRED — plugin refuses to start without it
        pushTarget: 'weixin:<chat_id>'          # REQUIRED
        hermesBin: '/path/to/hermes'            # optional, default 'hermes'
        workspaceRoots: ['/path/to/workspace']  # optional cwd whitelist
EOF

Requires @deepseek-ai/cordis (peer dependency) — ships inside DSH. The plugin is designed for the web profile (persistent host); do not install into headless.

Security

• Loopback only: server.listen(port, '127.0.0.1') — the host is hardcoded, exposing it requires source changes.
• Auth required: authToken is mandatory; the plugin refuses to activate without it. Token lives in your profile patch (600 perms) or env, never in code.
• cwd whitelist: when workspaceRoots is set, paths outside it are rejected (403) both at ingress and inside executeTask.
• Zero shell: all child processes use spawn(args[]) — task text never passes through a shell.
• Redaction: outbound push strips sk-/sk_tr_/ghp_ token patterns and credentials paths before sending.

⚠️ This plugin executes arbitrary DSH agent work with full tool access. Only feed it trusted instructions (keep the WeChat-side discipline in your Hermes skill layer), and never expose the HTTP port beyond loopback.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Cause / fix
prompt variable "{{model}}" has no value	agentOptions.model missing — set model (align with your agent-default-model).
Task reports done but result is empty	Check the session log for turn/end with reason.kind == "error" — the plugin now flags those as failed; verify model/provider.
hermes send fails Could not resolve target	Run hermes send --list, put the exact target in pushTarget.
EADDRINUSE on the port	Another instance holds it — change port, or restart the host once after code edits (ESM module cache).
WeChat pushes missing/serialized	iLink rate limit (ret=-2, 30s cooldown) — keep push volume low.
Hermes still runs headless instead of bridge	The plugin is invoked via dsh-run.sh which internally tries the bridge first (then falls back). If your skill calls something else, point it at dsh-run.sh. See DEVELOPMENT.md §Troubleshooting-Hermes.
