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).
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.
