The post-update state.db integrity guard called verify_sqlite_integrity()
with max_bytes=0, which disables the size ceiling and forces a full
PRAGMA integrity_check. That pragma walks every b-tree page in the file,
so its cost scales with database size — measured on a real 30 GB state.db:
143.5s with a cold page cache (worse under an update's memory pressure),
with zero output on screen. The update looks hung right after
"✓ Code updated!" and a CPU sits pegged.
Multi-GB session databases are normal for heavy users, so a
size-unbounded check is never an acceptable default on the update path.
- verify_sqlite_integrity(): max_bytes now defaults to
DEFAULT_INTEGRITY_CHECK_MAX_BYTES (2 GiB) instead of 0. max_bytes=0
remains the explicit opt-in for a full scan.
- The oversized path no longer degrades to a header-only check: it adds a
constant-time structural probe (read-only open + schema_version +
sqlite_master read) so the malformed-schema class is still caught, not
just the #68474 zeroed-file signature.
- Drop the explicit max_bytes=0 at the post-update guard and in
copy_db_and_verify() so both inherit the bounded default.
Measured on the reporter's real 30 GB state.db: 143.5s cold → 0.001s,
still valid=True. Corruption detection verified at multi-GB scale for
both classes (zeroed header, malformed schema) — both still fail closed.
Tests: default-is-bounded invariant, oversized probe catches malformed
schema, max_bytes=0 still forces the full check.
Bug-class coverage for both fixes: the full catalogue survives Save, context
lengths are preserved, the key never lands in config.yaml on either write
path, blank clears it, a pre-fix plaintext key migrates while a ${VAR}
template is left alone, two endpoints on one host keep separate credentials,
and an IP-derived name is still a valid POSIX env var.
The two delete tests asserted on the plaintext mirror; they now assert the
same invariants against the credential reference.
The desktop self-update chain (Desktop -> hermes-setup --update ->
hermes update -> hermes desktop --build-only -> relaunch) rebuilds
Hermes.exe on the user's machine and declared success on bare file
EXISTENCE. A truncated PE (corrupt cached Electron zip / interrupted
extraction or rcedit rewrite / full disk) or a wrong-architecture
unpacked tree therefore shipped as the 'updated' app, which Windows
refuses to load with 'This app can't run on your computer'
(此应用无法在你的电脑上运行) — and the previous working build had
already been wiped by before-pack.mjs, leaving nothing to fall back to.
Fix, in three parts:
- hermes_cli/main.py: post-build integrity gate on Windows
(_ensure_desktop_exe_launchable). Parses the PE header of the freshly
built Hermes.exe — MZ/PE magic, section-table completeness vs file
size (catches truncation), and COFF machine vs the host arch (catches
arm64/x64 mixups). On failure it purges the (likely corrupt) cached
Electron zip, invalidates the content-hash build stamp so the
updater's retry-once genuinely re-downloads and rebuilds, restores
the previous build from the .bak tree when one exists (keeping the
corrupt tree as .corrupt for diagnostics), tells the user the update
was aborted and their old version kept, and exits nonzero.
_desktop_packaged_executable also now prefers a host-loadable PE over
pure newest-mtime when multiple win-*-unpacked trees coexist.
- apps/desktop/scripts/before-pack.mjs: on win32, the previous unpacked
tree is preserved as <appOutDir>.bak (only when it holds the product
exe — partial/corrupt trees still get the plain wipe) instead of
being destroyed, providing the rollback material for the gate above.
Non-Windows behavior is unchanged.
- Behavior-contract tests: tests/hermes_cli/test_desktop_exe_integrity.py
(23 tests — synthetic PE fixtures for truncation/non-PE/arch-mismatch,
rollback semantics, and the build-only exit contract) and 6 new vitest
cases in before-pack.test.mjs for the .bak preservation rules.
Progresses #69179
/api/status is the only public liveness route, and its handler loads the
gateway config, probes gateway health, and counts sessions before it can
answer. That work is wrong for a readiness probe: a caller that only needs
to know the process is up pays for a cold plugin import tree.
Add /api/health, which returns process liveness, version, and the auth-gate
shape and touches nothing else.
`_render_distribution_plan` reads the target profile's `.env` to decide
whether a required env var is already set (so it doesn't nag the user),
using `Path.read_text()` with no encoding. Two bugs:
1. `Path.read_text()` defaults to the system locale (cp1251/GBK on Windows),
which raises `UnicodeDecodeError` on any non-ASCII byte. The surrounding
`except OSError` does NOT catch that — `UnicodeDecodeError` is a
`ValueError` — so a mis-encoded `.env` aborts the entire install preview.
2. Even on a UTF-8 locale, a Notepad-added BOM prefixes the first key
(`KEY`), so the very first required env var is mis-reported as
"needs setting" when it is actually present.
`.env` is written as UTF-8 everywhere in the codebase. Read it as
`utf-8-sig` (tolerates the BOM) and also catch `UnicodeDecodeError` so a
genuinely un-decodable file skips the pre-check instead of crashing.
Regression tests: a BOM-prefixed `.env` whose first key must still read as
"set", and an invalid-UTF-8 `.env` that must not abort the preview.
/api/status?profile= now passes pid_path=/path=/expected_home= to the
PID and runtime-status readers; the profile-unification fakes had
zero-arg signatures and raised TypeError. Plain /api/status call shapes
are unchanged (pinned by the existing zero-arg tests in
test_web_server.py).
Follow-up for the salvaged #70498 fix: replace the original PR's
mock-signature churn (28 lambda **kw edits, needed only because it changed
the no-profile call shape) with two targeted regression tests:
- ?profile=<name> must pass the profile's gateway.pid / gateway_state.json
paths and expected_home to the gateway status readers (HOME-anchored
per-profile state under ~/.hermes/profiles/<name>/)
- ?profile=<unknown> must 404 via _resolve_profile_dir
The production change keeps plain /api/status on the exact zero-arg calls,
so every pre-existing test passes unmodified.
The .env sanitizer inferred missing newlines from known KEY= substrings
inside existing values. Plain secrets containing those bytes could therefore
be split into synthetic assignments and rewritten to disk.
Treat each physical line as the only assignment boundary and keep bytes after
the first equals sign opaque for boundary discovery. Preserve safe formatting,
null-byte removal, BOM handling, and normal one-assignment-per-line parsing.
Cover direct loading, dotenv loading, sanitization, writers, and migration
with behavioral regressions.

Follow-up for salvaged PR #69141, addressing the last open review point:
cmd_prune() only set orphan_allowlist inside 'if orphans or pre_v2_orphans',
so a zero-orphan preview passed the unrestricted None sentinel down to
prune_checkpoints(), authorizing deletion of any project that became
orphaned between the preview and the rescan — with zero confirmation
calls. The allowlist is now bound unconditionally for every non-force
run (empty preview => empty allowlist); --force keeps None. Adds the
zero-orphan-preview timing regression plus allowlist-identity tests.
Requested by egilewski on #69141: the orphan confirmation flow had no
test coverage at all before this. Exercises hermes_cli.checkpoints.cmd_prune
directly against pre-v2-only and mixed (v2 + pre-v2) fake stores —
decline aborts with nothing deleted, accept deletes both layouts,
--force and --keep-orphans skip the prompt as expected.

Two compression-tip hydration tests simulated legacy state by emptying
the parent AFTER end_session(compression) — exactly the durable write
the new closed-parent guard refuses. Reordered: empty first, close
second. The tests' actual contract (old id hydrates from the live tip)
is unchanged and still pinned.
The runtime-repair change passes repair_observer= to update_managed_uv/
ensure_uv; the autouse fixture fakes had zero-arg signatures and raised
TypeError through the mock. Sibling test file to the PR's own suite.
Follow-up on the #70186 salvage. The cherry-picked repair pinned the
candidate to the exact current CPython patch (e.g. 3.11.14). Verified
live with uv 0.11.19: every published python-build-standalone artifact
for 3.11.14 links vulnerable SQLite 3.50.4 — even with --reinstall — so
the exact-patch pin made the repair permanently impossible on the
installs that need it most (repair_vulnerable_runtime returned
'failed: could not provision a fixed private Python runtime').
Request the minor line (3.11) instead — the same resolution a fresh
'uv python install' would make, still inside requires-python — and
tighten the drift gate to 'same minor, no downgrade'. E2E-verified
end-to-end on a real vulnerable venv: repair_vulnerable_runtime()
provisioned 3.11.15, built + smoke-tested the sibling venv, cut over,
and reported SQLite 3.50.4 → 3.53.1 with the old venv parked for
rollback.
Follow-up fixes on top of the cherry-picked guard:
- verify_sqlite_integrity(): an oversized (max_bytes-exceeding) database
now still fails on a zeroed/invalid header — previously valid=True was
set before the header check, so a >1GiB zeroed state.db (the exact
#68474 signature at 95MB scale) passed as valid.
- _run_pre_update_backup(): the guard referenced get_hermes_home before a
later function-local 'from hermes_constants import get_hermes_home'
shadowed it → UnboundLocalError swallowed by the snapshot try/except,
silently disabling the post-snapshot check AND the snapshot-id output.
Alias the import explicitly.
- Import _quick_snapshot_root where used (was NameError in all 3 guards).
- tests/hermes_cli/test_state_db_guard.py: real-SQLite E2E coverage —
valid/zeroed/truncated files, oversized header gate, copy+verify
roundtrip, snapshot restore flow, and the live _run_pre_update_backup
path against a temp HERMES_HOME with mid-flight zeroing.
A brew Python upgrade (original report) or an interrupted venv rebuild
(v0.19.0 report in the same thread) can leave certifi importable while
its bundled cacert.pem is missing or a dangling symlink. Every TLS
connection then fails — Feishu/Telegram/WeChat/DingTalk all down —
with an opaque 'Could not find a suitable TLS CA certificate bundle'
from deep inside httpx/requests.
The existing repair infrastructure only probed
`hasattr(certifi, 'contents')`, which PASSES in exactly this failure
state, so neither the early venv self-heal nor `hermes update`'s
import-probe repair ever classified certifi as broken. Extended, not
replaced:
- hermes_cli/_early_recovery.py: the in-process probe now also
validates that certifi.where() exists and is a plausible bundle
(>=1KiB), so the pre-import self-heal repairs it like any other
wiped core package.
- hermes_cli/main.py (_detect_broken_lazy_refresh_imports): the
subprocess probe script used by `hermes update`'s venv repair
applies the same bundle-file check inside the target venv.
- hermes_cli/doctor.py: `hermes doctor` already failed the cert
check; `hermes doctor --fix` now repairs it (pip force-reinstall
certifi + module-cache invalidation + re-verify), covering
brew/manual venvs where no update marker exists. Failures funnel
into the manual-action list with the exact command.
- agent/ssl_guard.py: the startup SSLConfigurationError hint now leads
with `hermes doctor --fix` instead of only the raw pip command.
Fixes#29866
Follow-up on the #69500 salvage: 'launchctl submit' jobs remain
registered with launchd after they exit, so every plist reload leaked
one dead '<label>.reload.<pid>.<ts>' label. The helper script now ends
with 'launchctl remove' of its own transient label, and the recovery
test asserts the self-removal is present.
The deferred launchd reload helper used start_new_session=True to detach
from the gateway's process group. However, setsid(2) alone does NOT move
the child outside the launchd job's process coalition — when launchctl
bootout fires on the gateway label, launchd terminates ALL processes in
that coalition, including the setsid-detached helper, leaving the service
permanently unloaded.
Fix by spawning the helper via launchctl submit, which creates a
transient launchd one-shot job that is wholly independent of the
gateway's coalition. This ensures the helper survives bootout and can
complete the bootstrap+verify cycle.
Also writes a durable pre-bootout marker to the reload log so the
distinction between 'helper never started' and 'helper ran but
bootout/bootstrap failed' can be diagnosed.
Fixes#69098
- Strip the salvaged commit's inline encoding kwargs where main had since
gained its own (process_registry, local env, cua doctor, gateway,
commands, gateway_windows — the latter keeps its locale-aware
_schtasks_encoding() from #38186)
- Revert encoding kwargs mistakenly applied to non-subprocess APIs
(exa get_contents, tempfile.mkstemp in webhook.py)
- Guard the ddgs worker Popen (new on main since #55339)
- Update two kwarg-snapshot test assertions for the new kwargs
Add authenticated GET /api/model/options to the gateway API server,
sharing the dashboard/TUI picker payload builder so external clients
can sync to the user's configured Hermes provider catalog instead of

build_models_payload with the stable picker shape and safe
custom-provider probe policy (probe current only on normal open,
probe all + cache bust on explicit refresh)
- dashboard web_server and TUI gateway model.options refactored onto
the shared builder; dashboard build moved off the event loop via
run_in_threadpool
- capabilities endpoint advertises model_options
- docs for both API server and programmatic integration
Salvaged from PR #54689 by @abundantbeing.
New sessions.auto_archive / auto_archive_days config: soft-hide (never
delete) sessions with no activity for N days, aging on last activity
rather than creation so an old-but-active chat is spared. Sweeps are
throttled through state_meta and fire from CLI startup, gateway startup
+ hourly housekeeping, and the serve/dashboard backend (opportunistic
on session list + an hourly lifespan ticker), so every surface honours
one setting.
A new pinned column (declaratively migrated) exempts sessions from the
sweep; PATCH /api/sessions/{id} accepts pinned and flips the whole
compression lineage as a unit, mirroring set_session_archived.
Widens the salvaged .env injection fix (#50315) to the sibling site it
missed: hermes_cli/memory_setup.py::_write_env_vars is the near-identical
core writer the openviking plugin's copy was forked from, is fed directly
by interactive _prompt() (pasted API keys), and is reused by other memory
plugins (e.g. supermemory imports it). A pasted secret with an embedded
CR/LF injected an arbitrary extra KEY=VALUE line on the next read.
Same _env_line_safe() treatment as the plugin writer (strip every
str.splitlines() separator + NUL), matching config.save_env_value's
existing newline strip. Mutation-checked: reverting the sanitizer makes
the new regression tests fail.
Flips the default fan-out cadence from per_iteration (advisors re-run on
every tool iteration, multiplying advisor spend by tool-loop depth) to
user_turn (advisors run once on the first message of each user turn; the
acting aggregator works the rest of the tool loop with that turn's
advice). Until per-mode benchmarks justify a costlier default, MoA
defaults to the cheapest, lowest-impact cadence (#67199).
One default for everyone — no split legacy/new-preset semantics; presets
that want per-step advising set fanout: per_iteration explicitly. All
three modes (user_turn / per_iteration / every_n:N) remain selectable;
every_n:1 still collapses to per_iteration (semantic identity), while
unparseable values now fall to user_turn (the default).
Docs updated with a default-change note; the per-iteration rerun test
pins its mode explicitly.

Follow-ups for salvaged #53784:
- reference_timeout now defaults to None = no per-preset override, so the
reference fan-out inherits auxiliary.moa_reference.timeout (900s default)
via call_llm's own per-task timeout resolution. The PR's 30.0s default
would have cut off long-thinking advisors mid-response, and its 300s max
cap capped legitimate explicit values — both removed. Explicit per-preset
values are still honored as-is.
- _is_failed_reference also treats '[skipped: …]' recursion-guard notes as
internal sentinels, keeping them out of both aggregator prompts.
- Dashboard/desktop TS types updated to number | null; web_server validator
accepts null/empty as 'inherit'.
The per-advisor enabled toggle adds enabled=True to normalized slots;
the JSON-string-parse and per-slot max_tokens tests from sibling
clusters asserted exact dicts. Compare against the enabled-augmented
expectation instead.
The per-reference-model enabled toggle (#59753 salvage) intentionally adds
'enabled' to normalized slot dicts. The two endpoint tests asserted the
exact key set {provider, model} — convert them to subset + round-trip
contracts so optional slot keys (enabled, reasoning_effort, max_tokens)
don't break them again.
Follow-up for salvaged PR #59753 rebased over the per-slot
reasoning_effort feature: _clean_slot now round-trips reasoning_effort
AND enabled together; add a normalize→normalize regression test, update
the validate/normalize agreement contract for the canonical enabled
default, restore the desktop per-slot toggle test on the current
autosave editor, and map oppenheimor's contributor email.
Extends the fanout enum with 'every_n:<N>' (N >= 2): advisors run on the
first iteration of each user turn and every Nth tool iteration after it;
off-cadence iterations REUSE the cached guidance from the last on-cadence
run via the same cache mechanism the user_turn fanout uses, so the
aggregator still gets advice on every step. The cadence counter is scoped
per user turn (resets on a new user message) and only advances when the
advisory state actually changes, so streaming retries never consume a
cadence slot. Mapping form {mode: every_n, n: N} normalizes to the
canonical string. Unknown/degenerate values fall back to per_iteration.
Addresses issue #63393 (advisor fan-out multiplies turn latency/cost by
the tool-iteration count). Redesigned from PR #63448: the submitted shape
skipped references entirely on off-cadence iterations (aggregator ran
advice-less); this version keeps the last advice in play, credited for
the idea and cadence framing.
Config-gated, default-off (default fanout remains per_iteration).

Community verification of #56688 (zmack12344321) found two follow-up gaps
that kept Vertex invisible in the /model menu even after registry
registration:
1. hermes_cli/model_switch.py: list_authenticated_providers() had a
credential gate hard-coded to API keys (with an aws_sdk special case
only) — add a vertex branch using has_vertex_credentials(), mirroring
the aws_sdk shape.
2. hermes_cli/models.py: Vertex's OpenAI-compatible endpoint has no
/models listing route, so without a curated _PROVIDER_MODELS entry the
picker only ever showed the current model — add a Gemini curated list.
Follow-up to #56688.
The Vertex AI provider (added same-day, commit c73e74386) was never added to
either of the two provider registries that agent/auxiliary_client.py and the
MoA slot-resolution chain depend on, breaking Vertex outside the main
conversation loop:
1. hermes_cli/auth.py::PROVIDER_REGISTRY had no "vertex" entry. The
plugin-auto-extend loop that normally fills gaps explicitly skips
non-api_key auth types (`if _pp.auth_type != "api_key": continue`), and
Vertex was never hand-declared like "bedrock" is. Because
resolve_provider_client() in agent/auxiliary_client.py gates everything
on `pconfig = PROVIDER_REGISTRY.get(provider)` and returns (None, None)
immediately when pconfig is None, its `elif pconfig.auth_type == "vertex"`
branch was permanently dead code — every auxiliary Vertex call (vision,
title generation, reflection, context compression, MoA reference/
aggregator slots) failed outright, not just a MoA-specific edge case.
2. hermes_cli/providers.py::HERMES_OVERLAYS also had no "vertex" entry, so
hermes_cli.providers.get_provider("vertex") returned None. This backs
_preserve_provider_with_base_url() in agent/auxiliary_client.py, which a
MoA slot's resolved (base_url, api_key) pair needs to keep its "vertex"
identity instead of silently collapsing to "custom" — losing the
identity _refresh_provider_credentials() needs to re-mint an expired
OAuth2 token (~1h lifetime) on a 401, and permanently breaking every
subsequent call in that MoA preset for the rest of the session.
Fix mirrors the existing "bedrock"/aws_sdk entries in both registries
exactly, plus adds a "vertex" branch to _refresh_provider_credentials() (it
had branches for openai-codex/nous/anthropic/xai-oauth but not vertex,
so a 401 fell through to `return False` without evicting the stale cached
client).
- hermes_cli/auth.py: hand-declared vertex ProviderConfig(auth_type="vertex")
in PROVIDER_REGISTRY, matching bedrock's shape.
- hermes_cli/providers.py: vertex HermesOverlay(auth_type="vertex") in
HERMES_OVERLAYS + "Google Vertex AI" label override.
- agent/auxiliary_client.py: vertex branch in _refresh_provider_credentials
that re-mints the token via get_vertex_config() and evicts the stale
cached client.
- 8 new regression tests across tests/hermes_cli/test_vertex_provider.py and
tests/agent/test_auxiliary_client.py: registry membership, end-to-end
resolve_provider_client("vertex", ...) building a working client (proving
the previously-dead branch is now reachable), and the 401-refresh/cache-
eviction path.
MoaConfigPayload does not declare save_traces or trace_dir, so
set_moa_models() overwrites cfg["moa"] with a dict that lacks these
hand-edited keys. Use dict.update() to merge instead of replace.
Fixes#58819
MoA (Mixture of Agents) is a legitimate internal provider used by
Diagnosis presets and multi-model aggregation. When a MoA preset sets
model.provider to 'moa', hermes doctor incorrectly reports it as
'unrecognised' and suggests changing it, which would break the MoA setup.
Add 'moa' to the known_providers set alongside 'openrouter', 'custom',
and 'auto' so doctor recognises it as valid.
Fixes#58759
MoA reference_max_tokens is preset-level — one cap for all reference
models. When mixing a verbose model with a terse one, a single cap is
either too tight for the terse model or too loose for the verbose one.
Now each reference slot can optionally carry its own max_tokens:
reference_models:
- provider: openrouter
model: deepseek/deepseek-v4-pro
max_tokens: *** # per-slot cap, overrides preset-level
- provider: openai-codex
model: gpt-5.5
# no max_tokens → falls back to preset-level reference_max_tokens
_clean_slot (moa_config.py) preserves an optional max_tokens field on
the slot dict, coerced via _coerce_int_or_none. _run_reference
(moa_loop.py) reads slot-level max_tokens first, falling back to the
preset-level cap passed by the caller. Slots without the field are
unaffected — backward compatible.
Type hints on slot-handling functions updated from dict[str, str] to
dict[str, Any] to reflect the now-heterogeneous slot shape.
Add --long-description / --long-description-file to `hermes slack
manifest` so the generated app manifest can carry Slack's
display_information.long_description (175–4,000 characters), with
validation of the length bounds, mutual-exclusion with --slashes-only,
and UTF-8 file input. Also propagate the manifest command's exit status
through cmd_slack so validation failures reach the shell.

Build the full reaction pipeline on top of the #29916 base:
- Opt-in gate: slack.reaction_triggers (default OFF — reaction events
stay acked-and-dropped so busy channels don't wake the agent on every
emoji). 'true' routes reactions on the bot's OWN messages; an explicit
emoji-name list routes those emojis from any message (handoff flows).
- reaction_removed events now route too, distinguished by the
cross-platform text convention reaction:added:<emoji> /
reaction:removed:<emoji> (matches the Feishu and Photon adapters, so
agents and skills see one shape everywhere).
- Authorization: the reactor becomes the synthesized message's user, so
the early _is_user_authorized gate and allowed_channels whitelist
apply exactly as for typed messages. _hermes_force_process only skips
the mention requirement (a reaction on the bot's own message is
definitionally addressed to the bot), mirroring Feishu/Photon.
- Gateway hooks (#33111 by @johnkattenhorn): every human reaction on a
message item fires reaction:added / reaction:removed through the new
BasePlatformAdapter.set_reaction_handler → GatewayRunner
._handle_reaction_event → HookRegistry.emit, independent of the
routing opt-in. Documented in hooks.md.
- Channel handoff (#45265 by @Kev-fs): slack.reaction_trigger_target
routes the reaction turn to a configured channel (top-level via
_hermes_no_thread_response + reply-anchor suppression in
gateway/platforms/base.py) or C123:<ts> thread.
- Manifest: reaction_removed event subscription added alongside
reaction_added/reactions:read.
- Docs: slack.md Reaction Triggers section; hooks.md event table rows.

Slack reaction_added events were explicitly acked and dropped, so a user
reacting to a bot message (👍 to approve, ✅ to acknowledge) produced
nothing. Forward them through the normal message pipeline as synthesized
MessageEvents whose text is the reaction emoji (translated to unicode
for common names), keeping the downstream auth gate, thread-context
fetch, dedup, and skill routing unchanged.
- Self-reactions and non-message items are dropped; reactions on
messages not sent by this bot are dropped (Feishu-adapter parity).
- The reacted-to message's thread parent becomes the synthesized
thread_ts so the reaction lands in the same session as a reply would.
- Manifest gains reactions:read scope + reaction_added bot event.

A user who configured a provider only inside a MoA preset (advisor or
aggregator slot) has explicitly opted into that provider — the consent
gate (is_provider_explicitly_configured) now scans moa.reference_models,
moa.aggregator, and all moa.presets.* slots, so Claude Code OAuth pool
seeding and the auxiliary auto-fallback chain treat MoA-only Anthropic
users consistently with model.provider users.
Salvaged from PR #57778 (trimmed): the auxiliary_client fallback half of

Extends the desktop backend's root-cause fix (aa2ae36c3f) to all remaining
console-less parent launch paths. The Windows console-flash class
(#54220/#56747) is governed by the PARENT's console: a DETACHED_PROCESS or
pythonw.exe daemon has no console, so every console-subsystem descendant
(git, gh, cmd, node, wmic, powershell) allocates its own visible conhost —
one flash per spawn, unreachable by any per-call-site CREATE_NO_WINDOW
sweep. Worse, MSDN specifies CREATE_NO_WINDOW is IGNORED when combined
with DETACHED_PROCESS, so the hide bit in the old detach bundle was dead.
Changes:
- _subprocess_compat: drop DETACHED_PROCESS from windows_detach_flags()
and windows_detach_flags_without_breakaway(); the daemon now owns a
single hidden console (CREATE_NO_WINDOW) that all descendants inherit.
- gateway_windows: _resolve_detached_python() returns the venv console
python.exe (no pythonw/base-interpreter detour — the uv-shim flash
premise only held while DETACHED_PROCESS was masking the hide bit);
UAC handoff launches console python under SW_HIDE; cmd/vbs launchers
render console python (vbs runs it window-style 0).
- gateway/run.py: restart watcher keeps sys.executable instead of
swapping in GUI-subsystem pythonw.
- web_server: dashboard actions spawn sys.executable (already carries
windows_detach_flags()).
Tests updated to pin the new invariants, including an explicit
DETACHED_PROCESS-must-stay-out regression guard.
