These issues and PRs concern how recalled memory and skill context is injected into conversations — including problems with role assignment, message contamination, deduplication of markers, gateway isolation, and framing memory as background context rather than authoritative user content.

Open issues3

  • Issue#8893[Bug]: Memory prefetch is appended to the current user message, causing prompt contamination and answer drift
  • Issue#31584[Feature]: Treat memory-context as background context, not authoritative user-message content
  • Issue#66888Memory context (format_memory_context) claims system authority but is transported inside user-role message content — trips injection-hardened personas; docs describe system-prompt injection

      +
      +By default, when Hermes runs under a gateway (Telegram, Discord, Slack, ...)
      +it passes the platform-native user ID as ``runtime_user_peer_name`` into
      +``HonchoSessionManager``.  That ID wins over any configured ``peer_name``
      +so multi-user bots scope memory per user.
      +
      +For a single-user personal deployment where the user connects over multiple
      +platforms, that default forks memory into one Honcho peer per platform
      +(Telegram UID, Discord snowflake, Slack user ID, ...).  The user asked for
      +an opt-in knob that pins the user peer to ``peer_name`` from ``honcho.json``
      +so the same person's memory stays unified regardless of which platform the
      +turn arrived on — ``hosts.<host>.pinPeerName: true`` (or root-level
      +``pinPeerName: true``).
      +
      +These tests exercise both the config parsing (``client.py::from_global_config``)
      +and the resolution order (``session.py::get_or_create``).  We stub the
      +Honcho API calls so we can assert the chosen ``user_peer_id`` without
      +touching the network.

How this cluster was grouped
  • Link evidence (partly structural links): some members are connected by structural evidence (shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference); the rest are joined by an automated relevance judgement over their text.
  • Members outside that structural core may belong to a different underlying problem.
  • Pairwise link density 0.06: the share of item pairs that carry a link, counting a structural link in full and a relevance-only link at 0.36. 1.00 means every pair is linked.
