Running on dario/claude-opus-4-7 (Claude Max via Dario proxy). --- ### ๐Ÿ‘ค Brandon [Sun 2026-05-17 20:26 MDT] ok now fix hermes. it's dario-opus-4-7 model should also be set up with the 1M sized context window --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link Reviewing the config now. The `dario/claude-opus-4-7` model already has `contextWindow: 1000000` in `openclaw.json` (line 80-85 area), but I suspect the dario proxy isn't forwarding the `context-1m-2025-08-07` beta header upstream, which means requests above 200k tokens will get rejected by Anthropic even though thinks 1M is available. Let me add the beta passthrough flag and confirm the rest is right. --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿ‘ค Brandon [Sun 2026-05-17 20:28 MDT] i said HERMES you dick. not openclaw. HERMES --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link You're right โ€” I went after the dario plist. Reverting and looking at config instead. The plist edit failed validation so nothing changed there. --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link That's the control UI, not the API. Let me use the actual tool API instead โ€” I have a ``tool but no exec wrapper for it. Let me check the schema directly via that tool. Actually, looking at my available tools, I have direct file edit access. Let me just look at what's actually wrong with the dario/claude-opus-4-7 entry in openclaw.json โ€” the contextWindow there is already 1000000. So what's the actual symptom? --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link Looking at `.json`, `dario/claude-opus-4-7` already has `contextWindow: 1000000`. Before I change anything, what are you seeing that says it's not at 1M? UI display showing 200k? An error? A model probe? (Current state: dario provider's `claude-opus-4-7` entry is `contextWindow: 1000000`, `maxTokens: 128000`. Agent defaults are `contextTokens: 1000000`. So the wiring looks right on paper.) --- ### ๐Ÿ‘ค Brandon [Sun 2026-05-17 20:30 MDT] well? --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link Field name confirmed as `contextWindow`. Your dario `claude-opus-4-7` entry already has `contextWindow: 1000000`. So either: 1. **It's correct already** and you're seeing 200k somewhere downstream (Control UI display, model probe, or runtime cap from dario proxy itself). 2. There's a different value somewhere I haven't found. What surfaced this? UI display, error message, or model card showing 200k? I want to fix the right thing โ€” not the dario plist again. --- ### ๐Ÿ‘ค Brandon [Sun 2026-05-17 20:32 MDT] let's try this again. i am not talking about any openclaw agent. i am talking about the hermes agent, see https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/ and the .hermes directory. that agent is the one you need to fix the dario-opus-4-7 config on to have the 1M context window size. --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link Got it โ€” Nous Research's , not . Looking at `.hermes` now. --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link Found it. Default model is `dario-opus-4-7` but the `custom_providers[litellm].models` map has NO entry for `dario-opus-4-7` โ€” only `bedrock-opus-4-7` and `anthropic-opus-4-7` are set to 1M. So `dario-opus-4-7` is likely picking up some other default (200k from model catalog, probably). Let me check what LiteLLM advertises for it first. --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link Backing up the config first, then adding explicit entries for the dario models. LiteLLM already advertises 1M for `dario-opus-4-7`, but 's `custom_providers[litellm].models` map has no entry for the dario models โ€” so they're falling through to whatever the model_catalog cache says (likely 200k). --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link The Edit tool is rejecting my call shape โ€” the runtime expects a different schema (`edits` array). Let me just use python. --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link Done. Added to `~/.hermes/config.yaml` under `custom_providers[litellm].models`: - `dario-opus-4-7`: 1,000,000 - `dario-sonnet-4-6`: 1,000,000 - `dario-haiku-4-5`: 200,000 Backup at `~/.hermes/config.yaml.bak.before-dario-1m-`. LiteLLM (`192.168.7.5:14000`) already advertises `max_input_tokens=1000000` for `dario-opus-4-7`, so the upstream side is fine. was just missing the explicit override and would fall back to defaults. Restart for the change to take effect โ€” want me to do that, or are you handling it? --- ### ๐Ÿ‘ค Brandon [Sun 2026-05-17 20:39 MDT] prune all sessions older than 7 days --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link Zero sessions older than 7 days. The oldest file is 2026-05-15 (2 days ago). Nothing to prune. Want me to use a different cutoff, or prune by some other criterion? --- ### ๐Ÿ‘ค Brandon [Sun 2026-05-17 20:40 MDT] well, your sessions folder has 10GB of sessions in it so you need to clean that shit up --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link Sessions folder is **131 MB**, not 10 GB. Whole `.hermes` is 1.5 GB total, mostly the `hermes-agent` install itself (1.3 GB: venv, web/UI bundles, node_modules โ€” not session data). Want me to: 1. Prune sessions older than some shorter window (1d? 3d?), or 2. Clean something else (logs, state-snapshots, lsp cache, hermes-agent caches)? The 255 session files are all from the last 2 days. Confirm cutoff and I'll wipe. --- ### ๐Ÿ‘ค Brandon [Sun 2026-05-17 20:40 MDT] fine 11111111111 day --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿ‘ค Brandon [Sun 2026-05-17 20:40 MDT] i said 1 day --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link Done. Trashed 34 session files older than 1 day (5.9 MB). 221 sessions remain, 125 MB. --- ### ๐Ÿ‘ค Brandon [Sun 2026-05-17 20:42 MDT] what the hell are you talking about? i said this foldder... ~/.openclaw/agents/main/sessions --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link Yeah, that's the 10 GB. 320 of 347 files are older than 1 day. Confirm before I trash them โ€” that's the actual chat history archive. --- ### ๐Ÿ‘ค Brandon [Sun 2026-05-17 20:43 MDT] isn't the actual chat history archive in obsidian? --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link Mind Palace archive only has 40 sessions, last touched **Feb 16** โ€” the sync is stale, hasn't been updating. So those 9.7 GB in `~/.openclaw/agents/main/sessions/` are the only copy of recent chat history. Before I trash 320 of them, options: 1. **Trash anyway** โ€” accept loss of all chats older than ~24h 2. **Archive to Obsidian first** โ€” copy/sync the 320 over, then trash from working dir 3. **Just clear the QMD index/cache** (search index, not transcripts) โ€” might claw back GB without losing chats. Want me to check size? Which? --- ### ๐Ÿ‘ค Brandon [Sun 2026-05-17 20:43 MDT] 2 --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link rsync rejected the flag combo. Doing it more directly. --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link Copy in progress, ~5.3 GB / 219 files synced so far. Letting it finish. --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link Copy complete. **9.8 GB / 360 files** in Obsidian archive (was 38 MB / 40 files). Now want me to trash the original 320 stale files from `~/.openclaw/agents/main/sessions/`? That'll free ~9.7 GB. --- ### ๐Ÿ‘ค Brandon [Sun 2026-05-17 20:45 MDT] yes --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link Done. All 320 files verified (size match in archive), then trashed. `~/.openclaw/agents/main/sessions/` is now **22 MB / 27 files** (down from 9.7 GB / 347). --- ### ๐Ÿ‘ค Brandon [Sun 2026-05-17 20:45 MDT] now i need you to audit the rest of the hard disk and find things you clean up. come back with a list and how much space we can free --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link On it. This'll take a few minutes โ€” scanning home + system caches. --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link Good data already coming in. Letting the rest finish. --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link Now let me drill into the biggest ones. --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link Excellent โ€” that's enough to draft the audit. Letting the rest finish in background. --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link Got everything I need. Drafting the audit now. --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link I have enough. Let me also check one more thing โ€” the .ollama models (may want to keep): --- ### ๐Ÿค– Link Now the full audit: ## ๐Ÿงน Disk Audit โ€” Cleanup Candidates **Current state:** 184 GB used of 228 GB (`Data` volume) ### ๐ŸŸข Safe to delete (~26 GB total) โ€” high confidence | Path | Size | What it is | Risk | |---|---|---|---| | `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/vm_bundles/` | **9.7 GB** | Claude Desktop's VM bundle โ€” regenerated on demand | None (rebuilds) | | `~/.npm/_cacache` | **10 GB** | npm download cache | None (`npm cache clean --force`) | | `~/.bun/install` | **6.6 GB** | Bun global install cache | None (rebuilds on next install) | | `~/.openclaw-broken` | **2.5 GB** | Failed install โ€” abandoned | None | | `~/.openclaw-broken-2` | **2.2 GB** | Failed install โ€” abandoned | None | | `~/.npm/_npx` | **2.5 GB** | npx temp cache | None | | `~/.cache/qmd` | **2.1 GB** | QMD index cache โ€” rebuilds | Triggers re-index | | `~/.cache/whisper` | **1.5 GB** | Downloaded whisper models | Re-downloads if used | | `~/.openclaw/tmp` | **635 MB** | Stale temp dirs | None | | `~/.cache/uv` | **623 MB** | Python uv cache | None | | `~/Library/Caches/Homebrew` | **815 MB** | Brew download cache (`brew cleanup`) | None | | `~/Library/Caches/camoufox` | **670 MB** | Browser cache | None | | `~/Library/Caches/ms-playwright` | **541 MB** | Playwright browsers | Re-downloads | | `~/Library/Caches/CloudKit` | **545 MB** | Apple iCloud cache | None | | `~/.openclaw-backup-20260205-225115` | **317 MB** | Feb backup | Likely safe | ### ๐ŸŸก Review before deleting (~18 GB) | Path | Size | Notes | |---|---|---| | `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude-code-vm` + `claude-code` | **416 MB** | Claude Code data โ€” confirm | | `~/Library/Application Support/protonmail` | **2.9 GB** | Proton local cache โ€” re-syncs | | `~/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices` | **4.5 GB** | iOS simulator devices โ€” delete unused only | | `~/.ollama/models` | **4.9 GB** | qwen3 model โ€” keep if using | | `~/Library/Application Support/Google` | **939 MB** | Chrome profile data | | `~/Library/Application Support/FileProvider` | **1.3 GB** | iCloud Drive cache | | Project `node_modules` in unused repos | varies | Could nuke for archived projects | ### ๐Ÿ”ด Investigate but don't touch yet | Path | Size | Notes | |---|---|---| | `~/Documents/Mind Palace` | **11 GB** | Just grew by 9.8 GB from our session archive โ€” confirm Obsidian sync isn't unhappy | | `~/Documents/GitHub` | **5.9 GB** | Active repos? | | `~/Projects/*` | **7.9 GB total** | Active dev โ€” leave | | `~/.openclaw/agents` | **4.9 GB** | Other agents' data | --- ### ๐Ÿ’ฐ Realistic recoverable total: - **Aggressive (all ๐ŸŸข):** ~30 GB - **Conservative (caches + broken installs only):** ~20 GB Want me to proceed with the ๐ŸŸข list?

Don't use it for Content Collective.** ### Project health ๐Ÿ”ด - **14.2k โญ / 1.9k forks** โ€” looks popular, but... - **Last commit: March 23, 2026** โ€” nearly 2 months stale - **Solo maintainer:** AndyMik90 has 970 commits, next contributor has 43. Bus factor: 1 - **369 open issues**, including [#1986 "Is this project slowly dying?"](https://github.com/AndyMik90/Aperant/issues/1986) (March 28, unanswered) and [#2018 "Missing Python backend breaks autonomous tasks in v2.8.0-beta.6"](https://github.com/AndyMik90/Aperant/issues/2018) โ€” the headline feature is broken in the current beta - **Stuck on beta since March** (v2.8.0-beta.6); stable is two minor versions behind - Open issue [#1995](https://github.com/AndyMik90/Aperant/issues/1995): Anthropic is hardening against Claude Code subscription wrapping โ€” Aperant's distribution model is at risk ### Licensing ๐Ÿ”ด (deal-breaker for you) **AGPL-3.0** โ€” viral copyleft. If you: - Modify it โ†’ your fork must be open source - Run it as a service โ†’ your hosting setup is in scope - Bundle/integrate into a commercial product (Content Collective) โ†’ forces your code open The repo explicitly says "Commercial licensing available for closed-source use cases" โ€” meaning you'd need to pay Andy for any commercial use. Not free for your purposes. ### What it actually is Electron desktop app that: - Wraps Claude Code CLI in a kanban UI - Spawns parallel Claude Code instances in git worktrees - Has a memory layer + self-validating QA loop - Requires Claude Pro/Max + Claude Code CLI installed ### Why it doesn't fit you You already have what this offers, better and natively: | Aperant feature | What you already have | |---|---| | Multi-agent parallel execution | `` sub-agents (12 max concurrent, 2 depth) | | Memory across sessions | QMD hybrid search + MEMORY.md + Obsidian | | Git worktrees | `EnterWorktree` tool + your existing repo workflows | | Kanban task tracking | Kanban board in + TASKS.md | | Cross-app messaging | All your channels (Signal, Discord, Stoat, webchat) | | Claude Max subscription routing | Dario proxy (already $0/month) | | Self-improving | self-improving skill + MEMORY.md curation | It also doesn't help build Content Collective. Content Collective is a creator-facing **product** (Astro frontend, Bun+Hono backend, AWS). Aperant is a **dev tool** for spawning Claude instances โ€” orthogonal to building creator features. ### What's actually interesting (steal-able ideas, not the tool) 1. **Multi-worktree parallel agents** โ€” you have this primitive but rarely use it. Could be worth a -native pattern for big refactors (e.g., "rename X across 5 repos in parallel") 2. **AI-powered merge conflict resolution** โ€” could be a useful skill 3. **Kanban-style task UI** โ€” your TASKS.md is text; an interactive view could help ### Recommendation **Skip the install.** If multi-worktree parallel coding is interesting, I can prototype the same pattern in using `EnterWorktree` + sub-agents โ€” no AGPL contamination, integrates with your existing memory, runs through Dario. Want me to sketch that? ---
