scripts/desktop-sandbox.sh runs a Hermes desktop instance in an isolated
sandbox — separate HERMES_HOME, separate Electron userData, and a
distinct
app name (HERMES_DESKTOP_APP_NAME) so it doesn't compete with the main
desktop instance's single-instance lock.
Two modes:
- Ephemeral (default): temp dir, cleaned up on exit
- --persistent: stored under .hermes-sandbox/ in the worktree git root,
survives restarts for repeat testing
In the Nix devShell the script is available as 'sandbox'.
Also makes APP_NAME overridable via HERMES_DESKTOP_APP_NAME in main.ts —
app.setName() runs before requestSingleInstanceLock(), so the overridden
name changes the lock key. collectRelaunchEnv already preserves
HERMES_DESKTOP_* vars through self-update relaunches; test updated to
cover the new env var.
we built .ts into .js for a minute there and dumped em in src, and those
old .js files are getting resolved over top of the ts updated ones so
desktop clients don't update.
just --clean the old files so there's never a conflict :3
The SLASH_TRIGGER_RE regex used (?:^|[\s]) as its left anchor, so typing
a / anywhere in the message (e.g. "hello /") opened the slash command
popover — even though slash commands only execute at the beginning of a
message. Anchor the regex strictly at position 0 (^) so the popover only
appears when / is the first character, matching the actual execution
semantics. The @-mention trigger is left untouched since those work
anywhere in the text.
removing tsc -b from the build script (previous commit) also removed
the only step that type-checked the electron/ directory — the CI
typecheck job runs tsc -p . --noEmit, which uses tsconfig.json whose
include is only ["src", "../shared/src"], so electron/ was silently
uncovered. extend the typecheck script to also run against
tsconfig.electron.json so electron/ stays type-checked in CI.
Add a glyph-agnostic ParticleField (float-up + organic sway/bank + springy
pop-in), skinned as pink pixel hearts. Hearts play on the pet when one is out
(in-window or popped out) and celebrate alongside; otherwise they rise from the
composer. A generic $petReaction bus mirrors the burst to the pop-out overlay
window so it reacts even while the app is minimized.
Consume the core `reaction` event to fire hearts on affectionate messages. DEV
Shift+H previews a burst.
Radix's hoverable-content grace area can leave tips stuck over Electron drag regions; disable it and make tip content pointer-events-none so open state tracks the trigger only.
Switching connection mode (local / cloud agent / remote) no longer
full-window-reloads into the cold-boot CONNECTING screen. The primary
backend is torn down in place (no renderer reload); the shell + Settings
stay up while session lists are wiped so sidebar skeletons retrigger, then
the socket re-dials and config/sessions refresh. Cold-boot CONNECTING
latches off after the first successful boot; the intentional teardown
suppresses the backend-exit toast. Dev affordance: a "Preview soft switch"
button under Gateway diagnostics (Electron has no ?query= entry).
Gateway settings UI brought in line with the rest of Settings:
- Mode cards use the shared selectableCardClass on an equal-height
auto-rows-fr grid, stacking 1→3 (never an orphaned 2+1); titles wrap
instead of truncating.
- Remote gateway's auth detail moves into a ? tooltip in the title; drop
the redundant "connects to the one you choose" from the cloud card.
- textStrong buttons force px-0 so the underline sits flush with the label.
- Tooltip chip uses box-decoration-break: clone so the background hugs each
wrapped line (bg only on the text), capped at max-w-64.

Old packaged Desktop apps re-entering bootstrap against an existing
~/.hermes/hermes-agent were still passing the baked-in --commit pin, which
detached the managed checkout back to the app stamp (e.g. 0.15.1) after
hermes update had already moved it forward.
Skip the packaged commit pin when activeRoot already has git metadata;
keep branch args and fresh-install commit pinning unchanged. Port of
#59902 onto the post-ts-ify bootstrap-runner.ts.

Windows drops webContents zoom on minimize/restore, so the UI snapped back
to 100% while Settings still read 125%. Zoom was only reasserted on the main
window's did-finish-load, never on show/restore and never for session windows.
Reassert the persisted level on show/restore + first load, wired once in
wireCommonWindowHandlers so the main window and secondary session windows
share it. The pet overlay opts out (zoom:false): it sizes its own OS window
to fit the sprite in unzoomed CSS px and has its own Alt+wheel scale, so
inheriting the global zoom would render the mascot larger than its window and
crop it (and it shares the renderer origin's zoom localStorage key).
Salvages #61245; keeps its pure-helper tests and adds a scope assertion.

Match the sibling pattern (pet-generate/generate-unavailable.tsx): inline the
portal URL literal in the ExternalLink href instead of a one-off named const.
Drop the portalBaseUrl→IPC→useState plumbing I added for the "create an agent"
link. HERMES_PORTAL_BASE_URL is a dev/staging-only override; threading it
through cloud.status() into React state just to build one link isn't worth it —
in prod it's always portal.nousresearch.com. Module-level constant instead.
Per review: the empty-state "create an agent" link went to the generic portal
agents list; point it at the Hermes Cloud create-instance flow
({portal}/cloud?setup=instance) instead. Derive the host from the portalBaseUrl
that cloud.status() already echoes so it honors HERMES_PORTAL_BASE_URL rather
than hardcoding a second copy of the portal host. Link text/copy → "Hermes
Cloud" (en + zh).
Tighten the salvaged Hermes Cloud code with no behavior change:
- main: one `trimCloudOrg` projection reused by the success-echo and the 409
org list (drop the duplicated map), and a `cloudLoginError()` factory for the
three needsCloudLogin throw sites.
- renderer: a `cloudLoginLapsed()` predicate for the duplicated
needsCloudLogin→signed-out check.
Cleanups on top of @ben's Hermes Cloud salvage:
- isConnectedAgent normalized both sides of the cloud-URL comparison (trim +
drop trailing slash + lowercase). The saved URL is host-lowercased by
normalizeRemoteBaseUrl but the discovered dashboardUrl is raw from NAS, so
a host-casing difference could silently break the connected-highlight.
- DesktopCloudStatus.signedIn doc said "AT-or-RT"; it actually reflects the
Nous portal Privy session (privy-token), not the gateway cookies.
Adds a third "Hermes Cloud" gateway mode to the desktop app: one portal
sign-in auto-discovers the agents on your account and connects to any of
them with no second interactive prompt.
- Electron: widen connection mode to 'local' | 'remote' | 'cloud', routed
through a centralized modeIsRemoteLike() so every resolution site treats
cloud exactly like remote; portal discovery (GET /api/agents over the
OAuth partition), Privy-cookie liveness, multi-org picker (NAS 409), and a
silent per-agent /oauth cascade (load protected root, not /login).
- Persist a cloudOrg on the cloud block; unselect cloud on mode switch.
- Renderer: Hermes Cloud ModeCard + agent picker (signed-out/loading/empty/
list), org picker, Change-org, connected-highlight + Connected pill.
- i18n (en + zh full; ja/zh-hant inherit via defineLocale), Cloud icon.
- IPC: hermes☁️{status,login,logout,discover,agent-sign-in}.
Salvage of #55402 onto current main: the original branch predates the
desktop electron .cjs -> .ts migration (39d09453f), so the electron half
was re-authored against the .ts files. Authorship preserved.
cloud-auto-discovery Phases 3 + 4.
Electron 40 ships Node 24.15, where tsx's ESM load hook returns null and
crashes with ERR_INVALID_RETURN_PROPERTY_VALUE. Bundle main+preload via
esbuild for `npm run dev` and always load the JS preload from dist/.
The model often emits a follow-up batch of tool calls as its own
assistant message with no prose or reasoning. On screen those rows look
like one continuous run, but assistant-ui only groups tool calls within a
single message, so the auto-scrolling tool window never triggered on them
(e.g. two batches of two searches read as 2 + 2, never reaching the
threshold).
Coalesce each settled tool-only assistant message into the preceding
assistant message in the render pipeline so its calls join that message's
tool group. Render-only (never touches the $messages store) and
settle-only (pending messages are skipped) so a live turn is never
merged/un-merged mid-stream; merged results are cached by source identity
so a stable turn yields stable objects with no re-render churn.
Two client-side halves of the #55578 session split:
1. Submit with a null activeSessionId but a SELECTED stored session now
resumes that stored session instead of falling straight through to
createBackendSessionForSend - which silently forked the user's
conversation into a brand-new session that then got orphan-reaped.
New-chat drafts (no stored selection) still create sessions as before.
2. prompt.submit recovery now also fires on gateway request timeouts,
not only 'session not found'. A starved backend loop (the async-
delegation poller spin) rejects the submit with 'request timed out'
even though the stored session is fine; previously that surfaced an
error, left the binding cleared, and set up the split on the next
send.
Fail-then-pass: 2 new tests fail with production code reverted.
The desktop app's chat panel reuses tui_gateway as its backend, so every chat session was stamped platform="tui". That made the agent read terminal-specific platform guidance while running in the graphical desktop chat surface.
Resolve the misclassification at its source: tui_gateway now picks platform="desktop" when HERMES_DESKTOP=1 and HERMES_DESKTOP_TERMINAL is unset, and keeps platform="tui" for the embedded terminal pane and standalone TUI. Add a PLATFORM_HINTS["desktop"] entry describing the actual chat surface (full GFM markdown, MEDIA: intercept, inline images). Move the embedded-pane clarifier to the platform-hint resolution site so it appends only to the tui hint under HERMES_DESKTOP_TERMINAL=1. Delete the now-dead desktop-hint block from build_environment_hints() that competed with the platform hint.
Standalone TUI sessions produce byte-identical prompts as before; the new desktop hint and clarifier are assembled once per session in the stable tier, so prompt caching is preserved.
* 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
Drop the duplicate mermaid-block.tsx (own mermaid.initialize + render path,
theme frozen at first load) and wire preview-file.tsx's MarkdownCode through
the existing RichCodeBlock registry from #52935 instead. One mermaid init
path, theme-flip re-init, Zoomable + copy-as-PNG, RichBoundary error
fallback — and the preview pane gets svg fences for free. Shiki block stays
as the fallback for all other languages.
Salvaged from #40531; surgically reapplied onto current main (i18n'd
preview-file.tsx). mermaid dep already present on main.

The salvaged commit rewrote update-marker.cjs and its test with CRLF
line endings (Windows editor artifact); restore LF so the diff shows
only the substantive change.
A Windows venv broken mid-update (e.g. python-dotenv missing after a partial
pip install) still has python.exe + Scripts\hermes.exe on disk.
unwrapWindowsVenvHermesCommand() returned that interpreter with no probe --
bypassing even the caller's --version smoke test -- so every recovery action
(Retry, Repair install, Use local gateway) re-resolved the same dead backend:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'dotenv', same overlay, forever.
- unwrapWindowsVenvHermesCommand now runs canImportHermesCli() on the venv
python (checkout on PYTHONPATH, mirroring isActiveRuntimeUsable) and
returns null on failure so the resolver falls through to the bootstrap
installer, which actually repairs the venv.
- hermesRuntimeImportProbe() adds 'import dotenv' -- the first third-party
import on the CLI boot path (hermes_cli/env_loader.py) -- so a venv missing
python-dotenv fails the probe everywhere it's used (isActiveRuntimeUsable,
system-python rung, and the new unwrap gate).
- Regression tests: probe content + source assertion that the unwrap path
probes and falls through.
The Capabilities/MCP/Hub/Skills UX has settled, so lift every
`// TODO(i18n): literal until the UX settles` hardcoded English string into
the typed i18n catalog and drop the comments.
- New keys under `common` (expand, tryHint), `settings.mcp` (capability
summary, status line, all-servers, auth flow, tool chip titles, log empty
label), and `skills` (provenance, sort/bulk labels, empty states, editor
actions). Full translations in en + zh; ja + zh-hant overrides added.
- Module-level pure fns that had no `t` in scope now take the mcp translations
(`capabilitySummary`/`statusLine`) or an `emptyLabel` prop (`McpLogs`); the
archive toast takes `t`.
- Shared `common.tryHint(term)` dedupes the "Try “…”" search hint across
skills/messaging/cron/artifacts.
No behavior or styling change — string lookups only. Zero TODO(i18n) remain.
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).
A back-to-back run of 3+ adjacent tool calls now collapses into a
fixed-height window that pins the newest call to the bottom and fades
older ones up under a top gradient, so a long run no longer shoves the
reply off screen. Shorter runs are byte-identical to before, and the DOM
shape is the same in both modes (only classes flip) so crossing the
threshold mid-stream never remounts a row. Expanding any row breaks the
window out to full height via a `:has([data-tool-open])` rule.
Route the app off its hand-rolled helpers onto lib/{text,time,format,json-format}
and the new primitives, plus assorted small tidy-ups:
- compactNumber for counts/tokens; normalize/capitalize/asText at the many
filter/label sites; shared Intl date/time formatters; row-hover + framed
editor adoption; scrollbar-gutter + padding parity on list surfaces.
- Messaging/Artifacts/Cron search hints + narrow-viewport tab dropdown;
floating-pet adopts useOnProfileSwitch; number formatting in statusbar,
command-center, agents.
- Electron: native overlay width + backend spawn tidy.
- Settings > Keys: credential fields read as plain subtext (all-unset) until
the group is focused or expanded, then take full input chrome with no
horizontal/vertical shift; inline Remove (trash) + Save mirror SearchField's
trailing-clear pattern instead of a floating hint that overlapped the card;
Esc still cancels. Drops the now-dead or/escToCancel i18n keys.
- Shared TabDropdown/ResponsiveTabs (components/ui): PageSearchShell and the
Command Center log file/level filters reuse the one narrow-width collapse.
- OverlayNav: data-driven pane nav — persistent rail on wide, a single dropdown
riding the titlebar strip on narrow; Settings and Command Center adopt it, and
the mobile dropdown carries the same section icons as the rail. Fixes narrow
vertical centering, redundant mobile section titles, gateway-status wrap, and
Panel master/detail stacking.
- OverlayIconButton is now the titlebar ghost button, matching the close X at
every size. Settings sub-view nav opens section + sub-view in one navigate so
API-keys/accounts actually open on narrow.
- Settings > Model: cube icon (was the {} namespace glyph) and a DOM-shaped
skeleton in place of the centered spinner.
- Command palette / session switcher clear the macOS traffic lights on small
screens.
- Prettier/eslint sweep across the touched files.
Five follow-ups to #57659 from post-merge review:
1. install.ps1: gateway scheduled-task re-enable now runs in a finally
(a thrown Remove-Item/uv venv failure previously stranded the user's
gateway autostart disabled), and tasks that were already disabled
before the install are no longer blindly re-enabled.
2. The venv-python holder guard is no longer bypassed by plain --force
(which the desktop bootstrap passes on every update while its lock
probe only checks hermes.exe/app.asar). New explicit --force-venv is
the escape hatch; --force keeps bypassing only the hermes.exe shim
guard.
3. _detect_venv_python_processes now also catches uv/base-interpreter
trampolines whose exe is outside the venv, via cmdline (venv path or
'-m hermes_cli.main' tied to this install root) and cwd.
4. Missing venv python is now UNHEALTHY on managed installs
(.hermes-bootstrap-complete / .update-incomplete markers) so the
repair lane runs instead of 'Already up to date!'; the repair branch
recreates the venv first when it's gone entirely. Dev checkouts keep
reporting healthy.
5. install.ps1 comment no longer claims a Startup-folder disarm the
code doesn't perform (logon-only, not a mid-install respawner).
