The pre-update HERMES_HOME zip shipped on by default (DEFAULT_CONFIG +
runtime fallback both True), so every `hermes update` zipped the entire
~/.hermes — sessions DB, caches, skills — adding minutes to each update.
The shipped cli-config.yaml.example, the --backup help, and the example
config all already said "off by default," so the live default
contradicted its own documentation.
Flip the default to off everywhere: DEFAULT_CONFIG, the runtime
`.get(..., False)` fallback in _run_pre_update_backup, and the stale
--backup help string. Users who want the #48200 safety net opt in via
updates.pre_update_backup: true or --backup for a single run.
Updated test_default_enabled_creates_backup -> test_default_disabled_is_silent
to assert the new default (silent no-op, no zip).
Batch extraction of every remaining subcommand whose handler is top-level and
whose parser block is pure argparse: model, setup, postinstall, whatsapp, slack,
login, logout, auth, status, webhook, hooks, doctor, security, dump, debug,
backup, import, config, version, update, uninstall, dashboard, gui, logs,
prompt-size.
Each becomes hermes_cli/subcommands/<name>.py with build_<name>_parser() and an
injected handler (no main import). dashboard also injects cmd_dashboard_register
for its nested 'register' action.
Behavior-neutral: all 25 subcommands' --help output (and nested subaction help)
diff-verified byte-identical to pre-extraction. Two RawDescriptionHelpFormatter
epilogs (debug, logs) needed their multi-line string interiors preserved at
column 0 — caught by the --help diff, not compile.
main() 3297 -> 1798 LOC across this PR; add_parser calls in main.py 179 -> 89.
Validation: tests/hermes_cli/ 6476 passed / 0 failed under per-file process
isolation; new test_subcommands_batch.py smoke-tests all 25 builders + the
dashboard two-handler case.
