Follow-up to the salvaged worktree-materialization fix. When a worktree
task has no explicit workspace_path, resolve the anchor from the board's
default_workdir (a git repo) and materialize <repo>/.worktrees/<id> per
task, instead of silently rooting under the dispatcher's CWD (whatever
directory launched the gateway, e.g. the Hermes checkout). If no
default_workdir is configured, raise with a clear message rather than
guessing from CWD.
Adds AUTHOR_MAP entry for the salvaged commit.
Follow-up for salvaged #49654: unit tests for resolve_whatsapp_bridge_dir()
(writable passthrough, read-only mirror, existing-mirror reuse) and the
AUTHOR_MAP entry for the contributor.
Add a regression test for #47868 asserting convert_messages strips the
internal per-message timestamp field, plus the identity-return path for
timestamp-free message lists. Map x7peeps for the release attribution gate.
On a Windows profile whose folder name contains a space (e.g. "First Last"),
Windows can expose %TEMP%/%TMP% as an 8.3 short path
(C:\Users\FIRST~1.LAS\AppData\Local\Temp). PowerShell's FileSystem provider
mishandles the "~1.ext" component when the path reaches a provider cmdlet such
as `Tee-Object -FilePath`, throwing:
An object at the specified path C:\Users\FIRST~1.LAS does not exist.
Every Node/Electron install+build stage streams its log to %TEMP% via
Tee-Object, so they all abort with that error (browser-tools npm, Playwright,
TUI npm, and the hard-failing desktop build), while the Python/uv stages --
which never write a side log to %TEMP% through a provider cmdlet -- succeed.
Normalize %TEMP%/%TMP% to their long form once, up front, so every downstream
cmdlet and child process sees a path the provider can resolve.
Fixes#39308
Adds a ConvertTo-LongPath helper to install.ps1 that expands a Windows 8.3
short path (e.g. C:\Users\FIRST~1.LAS) back to its long form via
Scripting.FileSystemObject. Paths without a "~<digit>" component are returned
unchanged (no COM round-trip), and any COM failure falls back to the input.
Adds an AST-loaded unit test that exercises the helper without executing the
installer body (pass-through, null/empty, and graceful fallback).
The contributor-check CI auto-resolves only the +id form of GitHub noreply
emails; lkz-de's commits use the legacy plain form
(lkz-de@users.noreply.github.com), so add an explicit AUTHOR_MAP entry.
The Discord fix (previous commit) handles dict-shaped clarify choices at the
Discord adapter only. The same dict-repr leak originates upstream at
tools/clarify_tool.py's str(c).strip() normalization — the single
platform-agnostic point both the CLI and every gateway adapter flow through.
When an LLM emits [{"description": "..."}] instead of bare strings, str(c)
produced {'description': '...'} which leaked onto the CLI panel
(cli.py:13048/13081), was returned verbatim as the user's answer
(cli.py:11945), and hit Telegram's numbered list too.
Add _flatten_choice (same label->description->text->title unwrap as the
Discord adapter, name/value excluded, keyless dicts dropped) and apply it at
the normalization line. Fixes CLI + Telegram + all platforms at the root;
the Discord smart-truncation now operates on already-clean text.

* fix(dashboard): resolve chat TUI argv off event loop
Dashboard chat now resolves its TUI launch command off the
FastAPI/WebSocket event loop. The resolver can run `npm install` /
`npm run build` through `_make_tui_argv()`, and doing that synchronously
in `/api/pty` can block proxy keepalives and other dashboard WebSocket
work long enough for reverse-proxy deployments to drop the chat
connection.
This keeps the current TUI build policy intact: normal production
launches still run the correctness-first `npm run build` path, while
`HERMES_TUI_DIR` remains the prebuilt/no-build path for distros and
containers. The change only moves the potentially slow resolver work to
a worker thread for the dashboard chat path, serialized by an
`asyncio.Lock` so concurrent chat tabs preserve one-build-at-a-time
behavior. `SystemExit` (node/npm missing) and the profile `HTTPException`
path still propagate cleanly through `asyncio.to_thread()`.
Salvaged from #26124 — rebased onto current main. The async wrapper now
threads the `profile` parameter that `_resolve_chat_argv` gained on main
since the PR was opened, so cross-profile chat is preserved.

* chore: add 0xdany to AUTHOR_MAP
* fix(dashboard): bind chat-argv lock to app.state; cover error propagation
Self-review hardening on top of the salvaged fix:
- Move `_chat_argv_lock` from a module-level `asyncio.Lock()` onto
`app.state` (initialised in `_lifespan`, lazy fallback via
`_get_chat_argv_lock`), mirroring `event_lock`. A module-level
`asyncio.Lock()` binds to whatever event loop is active at import time,
which is the exact pattern `_get_event_state`'s docstring warns against
(breaks across TestClient instances / uvicorn reloads). This keeps the
lock on the running loop.
- Add two tests exercising the real `_resolve_chat_argv_async` →
`asyncio.to_thread` → lock → re-raise chain: `SystemExit` (node/npm
missing) and `HTTPException` (invalid profile) both propagate out of the
worker thread and are caught by `pty_ws`'s existing handlers. The prior
tests mocked `asyncio.to_thread` away and never covered this path.
* test(dashboard): dedupe pty error-propagation tests; assert close code
simplify-code cleanup pass on the salvage stack:
- Extract the shared scaffolding of the two pty_ws error-propagation tests
into `_assert_pty_propagates`, keeping the two tests as distinct contracts
for the `except SystemExit` and `except HTTPException` arms.
- Assert the stable WebSocket close code (1011) instead of relying solely on
the user-facing "Chat unavailable" notice wording — a behavior contract per
the AGENTS.md "behavior contracts over snapshots" rule, robust to notice
rewording. The detail substring ("unknown profile") is still checked for the
HTTPException case since proving the detail survives the thread hop is the
point of that test.
No production-code change; the helper exercises the same real
_resolve_chat_argv_async -> asyncio.to_thread -> lock -> re-raise chain.

Add platform_hints config so an admin can append to or replace Hermes'
built-in platform hint for a single messaging platform (WhatsApp, Slack,
Telegram, ...) without affecting other platforms. Enables enterprise
managed profiles to steer platform-aware skills (e.g. invoke a custom
table-formatting skill on WhatsApp where Markdown tables don't render)
while leaving Telegram/Slack/CLI behavior unchanged.
- hermes_cli/config.py: document platform_hints in DEFAULT_CONFIG
- agent/agent_init.py: load platform_hints -> agent._platform_hint_overrides
- agent/system_prompt.py: _resolve_platform_hint() applies append/replace
(replace wins; bare string = append shorthand); defensive on bad config
- tests: 16 cases covering append/replace/shorthand/isolation/malformed
Override only affects the platform-hint segment of the system prompt;
SOUL/context/memory tiers and general instructions are unchanged.
PR #48372 relaxes EAP=Stop around the uv venv call so PowerShell 5.1
doesn't mistake uv's 'Using CPython ...' stderr for a terminating
NativeCommandError. But relaxing EAP also means a *genuine* uv venv
failure (exit != 0) no longer aborts on its own — Install-Venv would
continue and print 'Virtual environment ready', and in stage mode
Invoke-Stage would report ok=true, even though no venv was created.
Capture $LASTEXITCODE immediately after the relaxed call and throw on
non-zero (Pop-Location first, matching the function's other exit paths),
so the venv stage fails fast instead of falsely succeeding. This is the
explicit guard originally proposed in #48463 (devorun), composed on top
of #48372's reusable helper + regression test.
Adds a regression test asserting the uv venv exit-code capture + throw.
The Windows installer's Install-Uv spawned the astral uv installer with a
hardcoded bare `powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm .../uv | iex"`.
That name resolves only to Windows PowerShell, and only when its System32
directory is on PATH. Run under PowerShell 7+ (`pwsh`) — or any session where
`powershell` isn't on PATH — the spawn dies with "The term 'powershell' is not
recognized", and uv installation aborts (the installer then appears stuck).
Add Get-PowerShellHostExe, which prefers the absolute path of the host we're
already running in (PATH-independent), then falls back to powershell/pwsh via
Get-Command, then to the bare name. Install-Uv now invokes that resolved exe.
Add infinitycrew39@gmail.com -> infinitycrew39 to AUTHOR_MAP so the
contributor audit resolves the two cherry-picked commits from the #47945
langfuse trace-scope salvage (merged as #48292) to a GitHub handle instead
of flagging them as an unmapped author email.
The install method (docker/git/pip/...) describes the *running binary*, but
detect_install_method() read it from $HERMES_HOME/.install_method — a shared
DATA directory. The Docker docs deliberately bind-mount $HERMES_HOME
(~/.hermes:/opt/data) so config/sessions/memory persist and can be shared with
a host-side Desktop/CLI install.
When a containerized gateway and a host install share one $HERMES_HOME, the
home-scoped stamp is a single slot describing two installs: the published image
stamps 'docker' on every boot, the host install then reads 'docker' and the
in-app updater refuses to run 'hermes update' ("doesn't apply inside the Docker
container"). Reinstalling the Desktop app from the DMG doesn't help because the
contaminated stamp is re-read every time.
Fix (option 1 — code-scoped stamp):
- detect_install_method() reads <install tree>/.install_method first (next to
the running code, immune to the shared data dir). It falls back to the legacy
$HERMES_HOME stamp for back-compat, but IGNORES a 'docker' home stamp when
not actually containerized — so already-poisoned shared homes self-heal.
- stamp_install_method() writes the code-scoped stamp.
- install.sh stamps $INSTALL_DIR instead of $HERMES_HOME.
- Dockerfile bakes 'docker' into /opt/hermes/.install_method at build time
(inside the immutable block); stage2-hook.sh no longer writes the home stamp
and proactively removes a stale 'docker' one to heal existing shared homes.
Genuine containers still resolve to 'docker' (baked stamp, or legacy home stamp
honored when containerized). Unstamped installs in generic containers still fall
through to git/pip (preserves the #34397 fix).
Salvage corrections on top of @XVVH's #44341:
- Make native web_search injection a 1:1 swap for an already-present client
web_search function, NOT an additive grant. The original unconditionally
appended {"type":"web_search"} on every is_xai_responses turn with any
tools, force-enabling Grok server-side search even when the user never
enabled the web toolset (bypassing Hermes web-provider config + tool-trace
plumbing). Now gated on a client web_search actually being present.
- Reconcile grok-composer context to 200000 (merged in #47908) rather than
262144; 200k is xAI's published usable context window for Composer 2.5,
262144 is the /v1/responses input+output budget.
- Update tests to match scoped behavior + add a no-web-toolset guard test.
- AUTHOR_MAP entry for #44341 salvage.
Incomplete-guard (server-side *_call items at in_progress no longer flip
has_incomplete_items) and preflight built-in-tool allowlist kept as-is.
* fix(desktop): resolve electronDist dynamically + self-heal blocked installs
Supersedes the static-path approach (#48081) and the install-step self-heal
(#48082) with a fix that removes the whole failure class instead of chasing each
symptom. Three distinct faults converged into the June desktop-build outage; this
closes all three.
Root cause (the part #48081 left open — "Gap B"):
build.electronDist was a static relative path in apps/desktop/package.json, but
npm workspace hoisting is NOT deterministic — depending on the npm version and
what else is installed, npm nests the workspace-only electron devDep under
apps/desktop/node_modules/electron OR hoists it to the repo root. A static path
matches only one layout, so a clean install intermittently fails with "The
specified electronDist does not exist". #48081 re-pointed the path at the
nested layout (correct today) but electron-builder reads electronDist
STATICALLY, so any future hoist change silently breaks it again — only caught
by a CI invariant, never self-corrected.
Fix:
- scripts/run-electron-builder.cjs: resolve electron the way Node's runtime does
— require.resolve("electron/package.json") walks node_modules from the desktop
project upward and finds electron wherever npm actually put it. The path can
never drift out of sync with the install layout again, on any OS/npm version.
* dist present -> pass -c.electronDist=<abs>/dist so electron-builder reuses
the unpacked runtime (keeps the #38673 fast path that dodges the 26.8.x
missing-binary re-unpack bug).
* dist absent -> omit electronDist; electron-builder fetches Electron itself
via @electron/get honoring electronVersion + ELECTRON_MIRROR.
package.json: builder script now runs the wrapper; the static build.electronDist
is removed (the resolver owns it).
- main.py / install.sh / install.ps1: on a dependency-install failure where the
electron package staged but its dist is missing (electron's install.js
process.exit(1) on a blocked/throttled binary download — #47266/#47917/#48021),
repopulate the dist via electron's downloader (canonical, then npmmirror.com)
and CONTINUE to the build instead of aborting. npm runs postinstall LAST, so
the only casualty is electron/dist; bailing here is what made the pack-time
mirror self-heal unreachable on a blocked network. Hard-fail only when electron
never staged at all (a genuine dependency error).
- The pack-time mirror fallback now retries the build even when the pre-fetch
can't populate the dist: the wrapper lets electron-builder download Electron
itself via the mirror, so the retry is no longer a no-op (it was, when
electronDist was a static path).
The exact 40.10.2 pin (already on main) keeps the third mode — the native
@electron-internal/extract-zip win32 binding that 40.10.3/40.10.4 ship without a
published prebuild — from recurring.
Tests:
- test_desktop_electron_pin.py: replace the static-path-matches-lockfile
invariant with contracts that there is no hardcoded electronDist to drift, the
builder script routes through the resolver, and the resolver uses Node module
resolution + injects -c.electronDist.
- test_gui_command.py: install-failure self-heal continues to build; genuine
(electron-never-staged) install failure still hard-fails; pack retries under
the mirror even when the pre-fetch is blocked.

* fix(desktop): narrow Electron self-heal to real missing-dist failures
Follow-up on #48091 to remove the remaining misdiagnosis risk from the
installer/build fallback path (#46785 concern): only take the Electron
repair/retry path when Electron's package files are staged and dist is actually
missing/corrupt.
- main.py: add _electron_pkg_staged_missing_dist() and use it to gate install
failure recovery; fail fast for unrelated npm install errors.
- main.py/install.sh/install.ps1: run cache purge + retry only when dist is
missing; do not retry unrelated tsc/vite/build failures under an
Electron-specific narrative.
- install.sh/install.ps1: tighten install-stage self-heal guard to require both
package.json + install.js and missing dist.
- tests: add coverage that install failure hard-fails when Electron dist already
exists, and update retry test to reflect the tightened recovery condition.
Validation:
- Python tests: 64 passed
- install.sh-related tests included in the run
- Real mac build on this machine:
- npm ci at repo root: success
- cd apps/desktop && npm run pack: success
- electron-builder packaged darwin arm64 and used custom unpacked Electron dist
* refactor(desktop): trim electron self-heal helpers and comments
Deduplicate mirror-retry into _try_redownload_electron_dist / shell
counterparts; shorten wrapper and install-script commentary without
changing recovery semantics.

After the June lockfile regeneration (#46652) floated electron and reshuffled
npm workspace hoisting, the desktop pack fails with "The specified electronDist
does not exist". apps/desktop/package.json pointed electronDist at the repo
root (../../node_modules/electron/dist) while npm now installs electron nested
under apps/desktop/node_modules/electron. The two contradict, so a clean
install can never package the app (Windows + macOS).
- electronDist -> node_modules/electron/dist (resolved relative to apps/desktop,
i.e. the workspace-local install npm actually produces).
- hermes_cli/main.py, scripts/install.sh, scripts/install.ps1: add a runtime
electron-dir resolver that prefers apps/desktop/node_modules/electron and
falls back to the root hoist, so dist checks + the mirror re-download work
under either npm layout.
- patch-electron-builder-mac-binary.cjs: try the workspace-local Electron.app
before the root hoist in the macOS binary-restore fallback (sibling site no
PR touched).
- test: assert build.electronDist resolves to where the lockfile installs
electron, so a future hoist change (root <-> nested) can't silently break it.
Salvages the overlapping work in #48003 (sitkarev), #48012 (omegazheng), and
#48033 (james47kjv).

* fix(photon): preserve text in mixed iMessage attachments
When an iMessage bubble carried both text and an attachment, spectrum-ts'
inbound mapper returned only buildAttachmentMessage(...), dropping the user's
typed text before Hermes could see it. The Photon adapter then had no 'group'
content path, so the text was lost entirely.
- adapter.py: handle a new 'group' content type that flattens text + attachment
items, preserving the typed text alongside cached media (extracted shared
_normalize_binary_payload helper).
- sidecar: emit 'group' content in normalizeContent, and ship
patch-spectrum-mixed-attachments.mjs which patches spectrum-ts' pinned mapper
(at npm postinstall AND at sidecar startup, so existing installs self-heal).
Windows robustness fixes on top of the original PR:
- The patcher's CLI guard used 'import.meta.url === file://${argv[1]}', which
never matches on Windows (file:/// + drive letter) — it silently no-opped.
Switched to pathToFileURL(argv[1]).href.
- The patcher matched \n-joined strings, so a CRLF checkout (Windows git
autocrlf) defeated every replacement. It now normalizes CRLF->LF for matching
and restores the original EOL style on write.

* fix(desktop): re-download Electron binary via mirror when pack fails (#47266)
Since #38673 pinned build.electronDist to node_modules/electron/dist,
electron-builder reads the Electron binary straight from there and never
downloads it during `npm run pack`. That dist tree is only produced by the
electron package's postinstall (install.js) during `npm ci`. When that
download is blocked or throttled (GitHub's release host is unreachable in
some regions), the dist is missing and the build dies with:
The specified electronDist does not exist: .../node_modules/electron/dist
The existing ELECTRON_MIRROR fallback in all three desktop-build paths
(scripts/install.ps1, scripts/install.sh, and `hermes desktop` in
hermes_cli/main.py) re-ran `npm run pack` with ELECTRON_MIRROR set — but
pack never downloads Electron anymore, so the mirror was never used and the
retry re-read the same missing dist. The fallback was effectively dead.
Drive the mirror through electron's own downloader instead:
- Add a dist-presence check + a downloader helper (Test-ElectronDist /
Restore-ElectronDist, _electron_dist_ok / _restore_electron_dist,
_electron_dist_ok / _redownload_electron_dist) that wipes a partial dist
+ the path.txt version marker (electron's install.js short-circuits on it)
and re-runs `node install.js`, optionally via a mirror.
- On the first retry, repopulate a missing dist from the canonical source;
on the mirror retry, re-fetch through npmmirror.com, then pack.
- Gate the re-download on the dist check so an unrelated build failure
(tsc/vite) doesn't trigger a pointless ~200 MB refetch, and skip the final
pack when the binary still can't be fetched instead of failing the same way.
* test(desktop): cover Electron dist re-download mirror fallback (#47266)
Add behavior coverage for the electronDist re-download fix:
- _electron_dist_ok across linux/win32/darwin, including the partial-dist
case (dir present but binary missing) that makes the pinned electronDist
fail.
- _redownload_electron_dist: no-op when the binary is present, bail when
install.js is absent, wipe a stale dist + path.txt marker and run
electron's downloader with ELECTRON_MIRROR injected, and report failure
when the download still produces no binary.
- `hermes desktop`: the mirror fallback now drives electron's own downloader
before re-running pack, and skips the final pack entirely when the binary
can't be fetched.
Replaces the old mirror test that asserted the (now-fixed) dead behavior of
re-running `npm run pack` with ELECTRON_MIRROR set — pack never downloads
Electron under the pinned electronDist, so that retry could never help.
Salvage follow-up for PR #29575: add regression tests for the section-3
no-api_key /v1/models probe (probes bare endpoints, skips when explicit
models set) and add the contributor AUTHOR_MAP entry.
