The flock wrapper checked _web_ui_build_needed twice (pre-lock fast path
and post-lock re-check) and _do_build_web_ui checks it again internally,
so a boot that actually built walked the whole web/ source tree three
times. The callee's own check already runs under the lock on every path
through the wrapper, so it alone is sufficient: drop both wrapper checks.

Concurrent dashboard boots (desktop retry loop) each spawned their own
npm install + vite build over the same tree; parallel builds starved
each other, the dist sentinel never advanced, and every boot re-triggered
the build — cascading into orphan backends, port collisions, and CPU
storms that also knocked out the Telegram gateway's heartbeat (2026-07-12).
One process now builds under flock; the rest serve the existing dist
(stale is acceptable) or wait for the first-ever build to finish.

Replace mtime-based web UI dist staleness with a content-hash stamp under HERMES_HOME, matching the desktop build freshness model.
This avoids false stale/fresh decisions when git operations rewrite source mtimes without changing bytes, while preserving the existing stale-dist fallback. Also treats malformed or missing stamp data as needing a rebuild.
--skip-build with a missing web_dist/index.html previously hard-failed
with sys.exit(1) (issue #59288). The desktop launcher passes
--build-mode skip on every boot, so a wiped or never-populated dist
bricked the dashboard until the user manually rebuilt.
Now the default-dist path logs a clear warning and attempts exactly ONE
recovery build through the existing _build_web_ui path. If the recovery
build also fails to produce index.html, the original fatal behavior is
preserved with a clear message. A custom HERMES_WEB_DIST stays fail-fast:
the build writes to the default dist location and cannot populate a
caller-managed directory.
Closes#59288
Sync with main after the contribution-shell refactor (#60638) and the backendConnectionState extraction (#65885) landed. Seven conflicts, all resolved in favor of main's new architecture with the SSH lifecycle ported on top:
- electron/main.ts: adopt backendConnectionState (attempt tokens, attachProcess, clearPromiseForAttempt) as the sole owner of the primary backend; drop the branch's raw hermesProcess/connectionPromise globals and commitConnectionFailure call site. SSH liveness-streak classification, teardown, and the SSH quit path are layered onto the new ownership model; before-quit combines SSH transactional teardown with the Windows sandbox marker (#38216).
- desktop-controller.tsx: deleted on main; its SSH beforeConnectionSwitch cleanup (preserved-route fresh draft, overlay return-route reset, project-tree reset, close-all-terminals) moves to contrib/wiring.tsx's useGatewayBoot call.
- use-session-actions/index.ts: keep main's onFreshDraftRouteIntent (fires unconditionally); preserveRoute gates only the navigate.
- gateway-settings.tsx: keep main's acceptSavedConfig/connectedCloudUrl; every save/sign-in/sign-out success path routes through acceptSavedConfig with the branch's stale-async seq guards intact.
- boot-failure-reauth.ts: keep both sshFailureMessage and main's isRemoteReauthFailure formatting.
- Both test harnesses take the union of props.
Validation: tsc -b clean; desktop suite 1704 passed / 1 skipped; electron SSH/connection modules 225 passed; python SSH + web_server suites 508 passed.
Phase 2c found 3 tests that called _run_and_exit_oneshot without
mocking _cleanup_oneshot_runtime, causing real cleanup (terminal,
browser, MCP, auxiliary) to run in the pytest worker. Add the mock
to all three for test isolation.
Also remove redundant 'import logging' inside _exit_after_oneshot
(already imported at module level, line 729).
The initial salvage from #43698 only shut down MCP servers and cached
auxiliary clients. The interactive CLI's _run_cleanup() also closes
terminal environments, browser sessions, and interrupts async
delegations — all of which can hold native-extension-backed resources
(aiohttp connectors, websocket clients) that SIGABRT during
Py_FinalizeEx.
Add the missing three sites to _cleanup_oneshot_runtime(), matching the
order in cli.py:_run_cleanup(). Update tests to cover the expanded
cleanup chain.
Credit: @konsisumer (#67768) identified the full cleanup surface.
_make_tui_argv() called _ensure_tui_workspace(tui_dir) unconditionally
before checking for a prebuilt bundle. That function sys.exit(1)s when
ui-tui/ doesn't exist, which it never does on a pip/pipx install — the
wheel ships hermes_cli/tui_dist/entry.js but never ships ui-tui/ at all
(that directory only exists in a git checkout).
Every dashboard Chat tab connection on a pip/pipx install therefore
hard-exited before ever reaching _find_bundled_tui(), surfacing as the
unhelpful "Chat unavailable: 1" banner despite having a fully valid
bundled entry.js on disk.
Move the bundled-wheel/HERMES_TUI_DIR shortcut ahead of the workspace
check. --dev is unaffected (it never uses the bundled path and still
requires the workspace), and the checkout-without-bundle path is
unaffected (bundled lookup returns None, falls through to the existing
git-restore/npm-install/build flow).
Adds a contributors/emails mapping for the original author.

Add hermes_cli/windows_ssh_runtime.py: a native Windows trust boundary
invoked over SSH to manage the Desktop SSH backend lifecycle — ACL-locked
one-shot token file (owner+SYSTEM only, SE_DACL_PROTECTED, read-once via
DELETE_ON_CLOSE), ownership lock, and detached serve spawn with
CREATE_BREAKAWAY_FROM_JOB so the backend survives the SSH session's Job
Object teardown. Process ownership is proven by exact pid + creation-time +
argv + owner-nonce; state is tri-state (owned / stale / indeterminate) so a
live-but-unreadable process is never mistaken for stale.
Route _read_ssh_session_token_file to the Windows reader on win32, and move
the POSIX token root from a hardcoded ~/.hermes to get_hermes_home() so both
platforms honor the active profile.
Desktop launch and the update-chain rebuild install npm deps whose child
scripts shell out to a bare `node` (e.g. electron-winstaller's
select-7z-arch.js). When launched from the desktop updater chain
(Desktop -> hermes-setup -> hermes update) the shell PATH customizations are
lost, so the install dies with `'node' is not recognized` / `node: not found`.
- cmd_gui: wrap the npm-install env with with_hermes_node_path(_nixos_build_env())
so managed Node is prepended even on a stripped PATH — mirrors the idiom
already used by the update deps refresh. (The original fix merged nixos_env
on TOP of the managed env, whose full os.environ copy clobbered the managed
PATH back to bare; wrapping fixes that merge order.)
- _cmd_update_impl: spawn the `desktop --build-only` subprocess with
with_hermes_node_path() so the child starts with managed Node from the outset.
Regression test: the desktop install env now prepends the managed Node dir
ahead of a bare updater PATH instead of passing env=None.

* fix(dashboard): unblock basic auth plugin during interactive password setup
When the dashboard prompts for username/password on a non-loopback bind,
also remove the bundled basic provider from plugins.disabled so
discover_plugins(force=True) can register it (#54489).
* test(dashboard): cover basic auth plugin blocked by plugins.disabled
Regression harness for #54489: credentials in config are not enough when
the bundled basic provider is on the deny-list.
Move query_rewrite from the honcho plugin to plugins/memory/ and
rename the auxiliary task key honcho_query_rewrite ->
memory_query_rewrite so any memory provider can use the same
rewrite path and model/timeout config block. No behavior change.
terminal_tool reads all settings from TERMINAL_* env vars, bridged from
config.yaml by the CLI, gateway, and TUI-PTY launchers. Processes that
skip every launcher bridge — hermes serve / the Desktop app backend's
in-process agents, the desktop cron ticker — saw an unset TERMINAL_ENV
and silently ran every command on the host even when config.yaml selects
terminal.backend: docker. A user who configured Docker isolation got
unsandboxed host execution with no warning.
Two layers:
- _ensure_terminal_env_bridged() in _get_env_config(): when TERMINAL_ENV
is unset, backfill TERMINAL_* from config.yaml via
apply_terminal_config_to_env(override=False). Explicit env always wins
(honor explicit choice; only fix the accidental fallback). One-shot,
fail-open to the historical local default.
- cmd_dashboard/serve: run the same bridge at startup so every consumer
in the backend process (in-process agents, desktop cron ticker,
tui_gateway cwd resolution) sees the bridged env directly.
Fixes#63141, #54449, #61115, #65696.
hermes update ran TWO separate pre-update backup mechanisms: the
config-gated full zip (updates.pre_update_backup, default off) and an
unconditional quick state snapshot added for #15733 that ignored the
user's setting entirely. On a large state.db (observed: 24 GB) the
'cheap' snapshot silently added ~60s to every update and ate 24 GB of
disk in state-snapshots/.
Now there is ONE mechanism, gated by updates.pre_update_backup with
three modes:
- quick (new default): state snapshot of critical small files (pairing
JSONs, cron jobs, config, auth, per-profile DBs). Files over 1 GiB
are skipped with a warning so a bloated state.db can never stall the
update again.
- full: the quick snapshot plus the HERMES_HOME zip (old 'true'
behavior; --backup forces it for one run).
- off: nothing runs — an explicit opt-out now disables the quick
snapshot too (--no-backup does the same per-run).
Legacy booleans are honored: true -> full, false -> off.
_run_pre_update_backup() now returns the quick-snapshot id so the
post-update cron-jobs restore safety net (#34600) keeps working; the
snapshot moved from the post-fetch site to the pre-mutation site,
which also covers the zip-fallback update path it previously missed.
The desktop self-update rebuild (`hermes desktop --build-only`, driven by
the macOS in-app updater) runs `_run_npm_install_deterministic`, which used
plain `npm ci` / `npm install`. Those honor an inherited
`NODE_ENV=production` (or npm `omit=dev`) and silently omit devDependencies.
The desktop build toolchain — tsc, vite, electron-builder — are all
devDependencies, so under `NODE_ENV=production` the install completes (exit 0)
but `tsc` is never placed, and the very next step (`tsc -b && vite build`)
dies with `tsc: command not found` (exit 127). The user sees
"UPDATE DIDN'T FINISH / Rebuilding the desktop app failed (exit 127)" even
though the git/pip update applied cleanly. NODE_ENV=production can leak in
from a shell profile, a parent process, or a packaged-app launch context.
Force `--include=dev` on both the `npm ci` and `npm install` paths. The only
callers are frontend builds (desktop / TUI / web), which always need the dev
toolchain, so this is safe across the board.
Verified empirically: under NODE_ENV=production, `npm ci` leaves tsc MISSING
while `npm ci --include=dev` installs it. Added two regression tests
(test_npm_ci_forces_include_dev, test_npm_install_fallback_forces_include_dev)
— both confirmed to FAIL when the fix is reverted.
Accept descriptor-safe one-shot token files and exact owner nonces, expose an authenticated ownership proof endpoint, and preserve the process-local contract across parser and server startup paths.
Review round 2 from @ethernet8023 on #61580:
1. The manifest list was a hardcoded root/ui-tui/web trio — desktop and
any future workspace escaped the skip key even though step 1's root
install hoists deps for every workspace. The list is now expanded
from the root package.json 'workspaces' globs (npm's own source of
truth): on the real repo that yields all 8 manifests incl.
apps/desktop, apps/bootstrap-installer, apps/shared, and the nested
ui-tui/packages/hermes-ink. Unreadable package.json falls back to
root manifests only (never skips more than main would install).
2. --prefer-offline dropped entirely (this branch no longer carries
#39399): local 3-run benchmarks on the repo's real manifests show
the flag is noise on npm ci with a warm cache (root: 0.90s vs 0.84s
avg; ws: 4.02s vs 4.00s avg) — npm ci does no resolution and the
content-addressed cache already serves tarballs locally. It also
carried the stale-resolution risk on the npm install fallback the
reviewer flagged. All the real win is the skip itself (0s vs ~5s+).
Tests: workspace-glob edit (desktop), literal-listed edit, and
new-workspace-under-glob all defeat the skip; verified against the
real repo's workspace config (8 manifests picked up).
Resuming a session cd's back into its recorded working directory, so it resumes
in the repo it belonged to. `--no-restore-cwd` opts out; skipped under
--worktree (that path owns its dir); best-effort — a missing dir warns and stays
put rather than failing the resume.

`hermes sessions list --workspace <needle>` filters to one workspace (git repo
root or project dir, matched by path substring or basename) and adds a
Workspace column. The column only appears once at least one listed session
carries a workspace, so all-unbound listings render exactly as before.

The salvaged fix sets HERMES_YOLO_MODE in main()'s dispatch path before
_prepare_agent_startup(); this follow-up also sets it inside
_prepare_agent_startup() itself so every launcher that triggers plugin/tool
discovery (incl. the Termux fast-CLI path) gets the same ordering guarantee
before tools.approval freezes _YOLO_MODE_FROZEN (#60328).
The earlier fix gated _resolve_use_tui, but the EARLY launcher
(_wants_tui_early) decides TUI from display.interface before cmd_chat
runs — so a `display.interface: tui` default still booted the Ink UI for
headless spawns (kanban workers), whose no-TTY bail-out exits 0 →
"protocol violation". Gate the early resolver on a real TTY: headless
stdio never boots the TUI regardless of config; explicit --tui still does.
An inherited HERMES_TUI=1 or a `display.interface: tui` config default sent
kanban workers into the Ink TUI, whose no-TTY bail-out exits 0 without doing
the task — every attempt ended in "protocol violation". Two layers:
- _default_spawn pins `--cli` (highest-precedence interface flag) and strips
HERMES_TUI from the child env (covers older builds on PATH).
- _resolve_use_tui gates ambient TUI prefs (env/config) behind a real TTY;
an explicit --tui still wins so the informative bail-out stays reachable.
Phase-2 review finding: the validation branch expanduser()s the path but
web_server.py reads os.environ['HERMES_WEB_DIST'] raw at import — a
'~/dist' value would validate here and still 404 there. Write the
expanded path back before the web_server import. Adds a regression test
asserting the env var holds the expanded path after cmd_dashboard.
A custom HERMES_WEB_DIST without --skip-build skipped BOTH the web UI
build and any validation: cmd_dashboard fell through the build gate and
started the server against a dist that may not exist, serving 404s with
no obvious cause. This is the same failure mode issue #23817 fixed for
the --skip-build branch — the env-var branch was left unvalidated.
Add the missing else-branch: fail fast with actionable guidance when
HERMES_WEB_DIST has no index.html, proceed (still without building) when
it does.
Credit: @Caelier (#17845) originally proposed dist validation for the
dashboard startup path; the --skip-build half of that PR's scope has
since landed via the #23817 fix, this covers the remaining env-var path
on the rewritten cmd_dashboard surface.
* feat(install): warn pip/Homebrew installs are unsupported (CLI, TUI, desktop)
pip and Homebrew are now Unsupported install methods per
website/docs/getting-started/platform-support.md. Surface a
warn-don't-block deprecation notice everywhere the install method is
already shown, pointing at the platform-support docs and noting these
installs will not receive further updates. NixOS (Tier 2) is untouched.
- hermes_cli/config.py: shared is_unsupported_install_method() /
format_unsupported_install_warning() helpers so the wording and docs
link stay consistent across every surface.
- hermes_cli/banner.py: generalize the existing pip-only banner
warning to also cover Homebrew.
- hermes_cli/main.py: hermes update and hermes update --check print
the warning before proceeding (still update; warn, don't block).
- tui_gateway/server.py: session.info gains install_warning.
- ui-tui: SessionPanel renders install_warning alongside the existing
'N commits behind' notice.
- apps/desktop: SessionRuntimeInfo/GatewayEventPayload gain
install_warning; applyRuntimeInfo + the live session.info event fire
a snoozable warning toast via a new reportInstallMethodWarning(),
mirroring the existing backend-contract-skew toast pattern. i18n
strings added for en/zh/zh-hant/ja.
- Tests: updated pip banner assertions for the new wording, added a
Homebrew banner test, and two tui_gateway session_info tests
(install_warning present for pip, absent for git).
* fix(nix): make `hermes` in developement environment actually work
install modules as editable overlay with uv
* feat: print install method when running --version
* fix: correct detect install method when running from a subtree
* feat(trace): upload sessions to HF Agent Trace Viewer
Salvage trace upload as a smaller CLI-first feature: deterministic Claude Code JSONL export, fail-closed redaction, lazy Hugging Face dependency, and no gateway slash-command wiring.
* chore(trace): drop external porting references from docstrings
Describe the trace-upload design in Hermes' own terms.
* feat(sessions): fold trace upload into 'sessions export --format trace'
Integrates the HF Agent Trace Viewer exporter (PR #36145) onto the
unified export surface instead of a separate 'hermes trace' subcommand:
- --format trace: Claude Code JSONL to stdout/file, or one
<id>.trace.jsonl per session for filtered bulk export; defaults to
the most recent session when no --session-id/filters given.
- --upload pushes to the user's private HF traces dataset (--public to
opt out of private); reads HF_TOKEN with guided setup when missing.
- traces are secret-redacted by default (force mode); --no-redact opts
out after review; redaction failure blocks export (fail closed).
- hermes_cli/trace.py + subcommands/trace.py removed; agent/trace_upload.py
is the single engine. Docs EN + zh-Hans; 4 new CLI tests.
Salvage follow-up integrating PR #30481 (@simplast) and PR #57683
(@catbearlove1-lang) into the unified export surface:
- --format html: standalone self-contained HTML transcript (single
session or multi-session with sidebar), works with all shared filters
and --redact; requires a file output path.
- --only user-prompts: prompt-only export (jsonl records or md sections)
via the shared session_export renderer; the separate export-prompts
subcommand from the original PR is subsumed by this flag.
- AUTHOR_MAP entries for both contributors; docs EN + zh-Hans.
- export now shares _add_session_filter_args / build_prune_filters with
prune/archive: AGE grammar (5h/2d/1w/ISO) on --older-than plus the full
filter set (--model, --provider, --min-messages, --min-cost, --branch,
--chat-id, ...) for both JSONL and md/qmd bulk exports; --dry-run works
on JSONL too; removes the one-off list_export_candidates helper.
- new --redact flag runs exported message content and tool output through
force-mode secret redaction (agent.redact) for jsonl, md, and qmd.
- docs EN + zh-Hans updated; new tests for AGE grammar, extended filters,
filtered JSONL, and redaction.
Replaces the parallel export-md subcommand from the salvaged commit with
a --format jsonl|md|qmd flag on the existing export subcommand, so all
session export formats share one surface. Adds AUTHOR_MAP entry.
Salvage follow-up for PR #59542 by @web3blind.
* feat(oneshot): add --usage-file JSON usage report to hermes -z
Pipelines driving hermes -z (batch reviewers, cron scripts, eval
harnesses) had no way to account for per-invocation spend: the agent
computes estimated_cost_usd and full token counts internally, but
oneshot mode discards everything except the final response text.
- hermes -z PROMPT --usage-file PATH writes a JSON report after the
run: estimated_cost_usd, cost_status/source, input/output/cache/
reasoning/total tokens, api_calls, model, provider, session_id,
completed, failed.
- Written even when the run fails (with a failure field) so callers
can always account for spend; the write itself is best-effort and
never masks the run's own outcome.
- Flag registered in both the full parser and the Termux fast path;
added to both value-flag scan sets so profile detection stays
correct.
Validation: 6 unit tests + live E2E (real -z run produced a report
with real OpenRouter cost + token counts).
* test: include usage_file kwarg in oneshot dispatch assertions
The two dispatch tests assert the exact kwargs dict passed to
run_oneshot; the new usage_file kwarg must appear there.
