Post-merge follow-ups + several review rounds + a hub-search rework, folded together.
Merge-scuff restores (a stale-base refactor had reverted two live-on-main fixes):
- gateway: SessionStore compression-tip healing + its regression test.
- desktop: messaging session/transcript polling in desktop-controller
(MESSAGING_POLL / ACTIVE_MESSAGING_SESSION_POLL, refreshMessagingSessions,
refreshActiveMessagingTranscript, the richer sameCronSignature) so inbound
platform traffic updates live again instead of freezing until manual refresh.
Profile-switch isolation (epoch/close/guard on every profile-scoped async):
- Hub store clears + in-flight runHubAction bails (and swallows the post-switch
404 instead of a phantom toast); hub preview/scan/search/sources profile-scoped.
- MCP: probe/auth epoch guards, dirty-draft reset, sidebar mutations blocked
until config resettles AND every persist re-checks the epoch post-await;
profilePending clears on config settle incl. error; logs re-key on profile.
- Model settings reload on switch and epoch-guard setModelAssignment /
saveMoaModels / API-key activation.
- Config draft resets + cancels its autosave on switch; skill editor/archive and
star-map node dialogs close on switch; openSkillEditor / star-map openEdit
discard stale fetches; tool-usage analytics loads are profile-guarded/keyed.
Correctness + UX:
- Unique per-skill action names for hub install AND uninstall; hub/catalog rows
flip only on a clean exit_code; catalog install polls the background bootstrap
to completion, reconciles the mcp.json draft (no dropped server), and fails
loudly on non-zero exit; MCP catalog query keyed by profile.
- /test reports needs-auth for anonymous auth:oauth servers; /auth snapshots +
restores tokens on a failed re-auth and clears the full 300s callback window.
- config-settings shows a retry on load failure; CodeEditor/JsonDocumentEditor
go read-only while saving so edits typed mid-save aren't dropped.
- Deep-link highlighter deletes its param only after a successful scroll.
- Restored the PageSearchShell trailing slot → Artifacts refresh button/spinner.
- /settings?tab=mcp redirect keeps server=.
Progressive hub search: fan out one query per backend-searchable source
(index-covered API sources stay unsearchable → no ~70-call GitHub re-hammer),
merge/dedupe by trust as each lands, per-source spinner overlaid on the dimmed
chip — results stream in without blocking on the slowest, no layout shift.
test(web): /api/skills list carries usage + provenance (CI contract).
The dashboard's /api/skills/hub/install (and the new-profile hub_skills
path) spawned `hermes skills install <id>` with stdin=DEVNULL but
without --yes. do_install()'s 'Confirm [y/N]' prompt hit EOF, defaulted
to 'n', and printed 'Installation cancelled.' into a background log the
user never sees — every dashboard install no-opped.
Pass --yes on both spawn sites, matching the uninstall endpoint which
already passed --yes. The dashboard install button is the explicit user
consent, same as the TUI/slash-command skip_confirm rationale.
Repro: spawned the exact argv with stdin=DEVNULL against a temp
HERMES_HOME — without --yes it cancels, with --yes the skill installs.
'Set as active' on the Profiles page only flips the sticky active_profile
file (future CLI/gateway runs) — it never retargets the running dashboard
process. The skills/toolsets endpoints called bare load_config()/
save_config(), so after 'activating' a profile in the web UI, deactivating
a skill silently wrote into the dashboard's own profile and the activated
profile was untouched.
Backend:
- _profile_scope() context manager on the skills/toolsets endpoints:
context-local HERMES_HOME override for call-time config resolution +
cron-style locked swap of tools.skills_tool's import-time SKILLS_DIR
- profile param on /api/skills, /api/skills/toggle, /api/tools/toolsets*
(list/toggle/config/provider/env), hub sources/search installed-state
- hub install/uninstall/update spawn 'hermes -p <profile> skills ...' so
the child rebinds skills_hub.SKILLS_DIR at import (the override cannot
reach import-time globals); profile validated -> 404/400 before spawn
Frontend:
- Skills page: profile selector (deep-linkable /skills?profile=<name>),
amber banner naming the managed profile, threaded through skill toggles,
toolset drawer, and hub browser
- Profiles page: 'Manage skills & tools' action per card; 'Set as active'
toast now says it applies to new CLI/gateway runs only
Omitted profile keeps legacy behavior (dashboard's own profile).
