Remove the stale Babel compiler config and direct Babel dev dependencies from the TUI package.
Regenerate the npm lockfile and refresh the Nix fetchNpmDeps hash for the trimmed dependency graph.
Replace the tsc + babel pipeline with a single esbuild invocation that
produces a self-contained dist/entry.js. The nix TUI derivation no
longer copies node_modules — only dist/ + package.json ship, shrinking
the output from hundreds of MB to ~2.9 MB.
- ui-tui/scripts/build.mjs: new esbuild bundler. Aliases @hermes/ink
to source (esbuild's __esm helper doesn't await nested async init,
which breaks lazy-assigned exports like 'render' when re-exporting
through a prebuilt submodule). Stubs react-devtools-core (dev-only).
Injects a createRequire shim for transitive CJS deps. Strips the
shebang from src/entry.tsx because Nix patchShebangs mangles
'/usr/bin/env -S node --max-old-space-size=8192 --expose-gc' — it
drops the 'node' token. The Python launcher always invokes node
explicitly, so the shebang is redundant.
- nix/tui.nix: installPhase no longer copies node_modules or the
@hermes/ink packages dir.
- nix/checks.nix: drop the 'node_modules present' assertion.
- hermes_cli/main.py: _tui_need_npm_install short-circuits when
dist/entry.js exists and no package-lock.json is present. That is
the prebuilt-bundle layout (nix / packaged release) and there is
nothing to install. Without this, the launcher tried to npm install
in a non-existent site-packages/ui-tui path.
- Switch tsconfig to nodenext module resolution for Node 22 (used by
installer script)
- Add shebang to entry.tsx, preserved into index.js
- Add HERMES_ROOT env var fallback for repo root resolution
