The ACP Registry schema supports uvx as a first-class distribution method
alongside npx and binary. Pointing the registry directly at the existing
hermes-agent PyPI release removes:
- the @nousresearch npm scope (we don't own it)
- a separate npm publish step on every weekly release
- 90 lines of Node launcher + tests in packages/hermes-agent-acp/
The Zed registry now installs Hermes via:
uvx --from 'hermes-agent[acp]==<version>' hermes-acp
This is the same command the npm launcher was shelling out to anyway, so
end-user behavior is unchanged. Registry CI validates the PyPI URL +
version-pin exact match automatically.
Changes:
- acp_registry/agent.json: distribution.npx -> distribution.uvx
- delete packages/hermes-agent-acp/ entirely
- scripts/release.py: drop npm-launcher bump paths, keep manifest lockstep
- tests/acp/test_registry_manifest.py: assert uvx shape + version pin
- tests/scripts/test_release_acp_registry.py: rewrite for uvx-only shape
- docs (user-guide + dev-guide): drop all npm-launcher references
- delete docs/plans/acp-registry-zed-integration.md (stale, npm-shaped)
Validated against agentclientprotocol/registry agent.schema.json via
jsonschema. hermes-agent==0.13.0 is already live on PyPI.
The ACP Registry manifest (acp_registry/agent.json), the npm launcher
package.json, and the launcher's HERMES_AGENT_VERSION constant must all
match pyproject.toml exactly — tests/acp/test_registry_manifest.py
enforces this lockstep.
Without a release-script hook, the next weekly version bump fails that
test until someone hand-edits four files. Extend update_version_files()
to drive the ACP bump alongside __init__.py and pyproject.toml, and
add tests covering the lockstep and the missing-files no-op path.
Also map adam.manning@gmail.com -> am423 for the salvage commit.
