* fix(windows): stop terminal-window popups from background spawns
Native-Windows desktop/gateway users saw cmd/conhost windows flash on
gateway restart, image paste, the dashboard Projects tree, voice notes,
and ~5 min after closing the app (detached cron). Two root causes:
- Console-subsystem exes (taskkill, schtasks, wmic, netstat, tasklist,
agent-browser, git, ffmpeg, powershell, git-bash) spawned via raw
subprocess allocate a fresh console when the launching process has
none (pythonw desktop backend / detached gateway) - even with output
captured.
- uv venv pythonw shims re-exec console python.exe, so Python children
get a console regardless of how they're launched.
Fixes:
- Single hidden-spawn primitive (_subprocess_compat.run/.popen) that ORs
CREATE_NO_WINDOW on Windows, no-op on POSIX. Route every Hermes-owned
console-exe spawn through it.
- FreeConsole() catch-all in hermes_bootstrap: any Python child that
exclusively owns an auto-allocated console detaches it at startup
(GetConsoleProcessList()==1 gate leaves shared interactive consoles
untouched).
- Replace PowerShell/wmic gateway PID scans with in-process psutil.
- Skip schtasks queries on non-interactive desktop restarts.
- Prefer native agent-browser .exe over .cmd shims.
- Guard test bans raw subprocess spawns of the Windows-only console
tools repo-wide so the popup class can't regress.
* fix(windows): scope FreeConsole to background entry points; fix merge fallout
Console detach review (per #53810 feedback): GetConsoleProcessList()==1 can't
tell a uv pythonw->python phantom console apart from a user opening the
interactive CLI/TUI in its own fresh console (double-click, shortcut, ConPTY) —
both report a single attached process with a tty. Running FreeConsole() in the
import-time bootstrap therefore risked detaching a legitimately-interactive
terminal.
- Extract FreeConsole into explicit hermes_bootstrap.detach_orphan_console();
remove it from apply_windows_utf8_bootstrap() (import side effect).
- Call it only from known background mains: gateway run, dashboard backend
(start_server, what the desktop spawns), cron standalone, tui_gateway entry,
slash worker. Interactive CLI/TUI never calls it.
- Behavior-contract tests: frees only when solo owner, leaves shared console,
no-op without console / on POSIX, and asserts it's not an import side effect.
Merge fallout from origin/main (#53791):
- local.py: 3-way merge left a dangling **_popen_kwargs (NameError crashing
every terminal init). _subprocess_compat.popen already hides the window, so
drop it.
- discord adapter: merge stacked an undefined windows_hide_flags() onto the
primitive call; drop the redundant arg.
- test_gateway: scan now goes psutil-first (zero spawn); rewrite the
case-variant test to drive that production path.
* test(claw): mock _subprocess_compat.run seam for Windows process scan
claw.py's Windows tasklist/powershell scan routes through the hidden-spawn
primitive; the tests still patched claw_mod.subprocess, so on win32 the mock
was never hit and real spawns returned nothing. Patch the actual seam.
get_hermes_dir(new_subpath, old_name) returned the legacy <old_name>/
location as soon as it existed on disk — even when empty. When an empty
legacy stub is created on a profile that already has populated data at
the new consolidated <new_subpath>/ (install scaffolds, profile init, a
stray mkdir, or ensure_hermes_home() recreating legacy dirs), the
resolver silently flipped to the empty legacy dir and the real data
became invisible. No log, no error — the feature behaved as if state was
wiped. Reproduced as a Discord pairing store losing every approved user
when an empty pairing/ shadowed the populated platforms/pairing/.
Resolve the legacy path only when it has content: a populated directory
(any entry) or a non-directory file counts; an empty directory falls
through to the new layout. Inspection failures (PermissionError on
lstat/iterdir, or any OSError short of FileNotFoundError) are treated as
"occupied" so a transient error never orphans legacy data — only a
genuine FileNotFoundError counts as absent. The lstat()-based gate also
fixes the prior exists()/is_dir() path swallowing PermissionError and
mis-reading an unreadable legacy dir as absent.
This hardens all 11+ call sites that share the resolver (pairing,
image/audio/video/document caches, matrix/whatsapp session stores,
vision/credential/tts/browser dirs).
Adds TestGetHermesDir regression coverage (empty/populated/subdir/file/
unreadable/unstatable cases) and updates test_credential_files to
populate its legacy dirs so they still count as content.

When a Hermes-managed node/npm/npx shim exists but fails --version, redownload
the pinned nodejs.org bundle under HERMES_HOME/node and retry. Do not fall
back to system npm on PATH when a managed tree is present.
POSIX heal probes node, npm, and npx (npm can break while node still runs).
After `hermes update`, a globally-installed agent-browser's npm postinstall
(fixUnixSymlink) re-points the global symlink (e.g. /opt/homebrew/bin/agent-browser)
at our local node_modules binary. The next update wipes node_modules, leaving a
dangling symlink that `which` still reports but exec fails on with exit 127 —
silently breaking every browser tool (#48521).
Root cause is trust-on-presence: shutil.which/Path.exists accept a name that
resolves but won't run. Add hermes_constants.agent_browser_runnable() (resolves
the path + runs --version) and gate all four resolution sites on it:
_find_agent_browser now skips a dead candidate and falls through to the next
working one (extended PATH -> local .bin -> npx), self-healing the dangling link.
dep_ensure/doctor/nous_subscription validate too; doctor warns on a broken link.

is_container() only recognized Docker (/.dockerenv), Podman
(/run/.containerenv), and docker/podman/lxc markers in /proc/1/cgroup.
Under cgroup v2 (Kubernetes/k3s on containerd or CRI-O) /proc/1/cgroup
collapses to a single "0::/" line with no runtime marker, so
is_container() returned False on every containerd/CRI pod.
That false negative bypassed container-aware behavior across the CLI.
The most damaging case (reported): even after #46290 fixed
detect_service_manager() to gate on _s6_running() alone, other
is_container() call sites (profile home resolution, gateway behaviors,
config, doctor) still misbehave on containerd.
Broaden detection conservatively:
- KUBERNETES_SERVICE_HOST env var (present in every k8s pod).
- kubepods/containerd/crio markers in /proc/1/cgroup (cgroup v1 nested).
- same markers in /proc/self/mountinfo as a cgroup-v2 fallback.
Tests: 3 new (k8s env, kubepods cgroup, cgroup-v2-via-mountinfo) plus the
existing negative case hardened to stub mountinfo + env; 108 constants +
service_manager tests pass.
Remove unused imports (F401) and duplicate/shadowed import
redefinitions (F811) across the codebase using ruff's safe
autofixes. No behavioral changes -- imports only.
- ~1400 safe autofixes applied across 644 files (net -1072 lines)
- __init__.py re-exports preserved (excluded from F401 removal so
public re-export surfaces stay intact)
- Re-exports that are imported or monkeypatched by tests but look
unused in their defining module are kept with explicit # noqa:
F401 (gateway/run.py load_dotenv; run_agent re-exports from
agent.message_sanitization, agent.context_compressor,
agent.retry_utils, agent.prompt_builder, agent.process_bootstrap,
agent.codex_responses_adapter)
- Unsafe F841 (unused-variable) fixes deliberately skipped -- those
can change behavior when the RHS has side effects
- ruff lints remain disabled in pyproject.toml (only PLW1514 is
selected); this is a one-time cleanup, not a config change
Verification:
- python -m compileall: clean
- pytest --collect-only: all 27161 tests collect (zero import errors)
- core entry points import clean (run_agent, model_tools, cli,
toolsets, hermes_state, batch_runner, gateway)
- static scan: every name any test imports directly from an edited
module still resolves
Five call sites do os.chmod(path.parent, 0o700) without checking that
the parent resolves to a safe directory. If HERMES_HOME or another
path env var resolves to /, the chmod strips traversal permission from
the root inode and bricks the entire host.
Add secure_parent_dir() to hermes_constants.py that refuses to chmod
/ or any top-level directory (depth < 2). Replace all 5 call sites
with this helper.
Fixes#25821
Centralize container detection in hermes_constants.is_container() with
process-lifetime caching, matching existing is_wsl()/is_termux() patterns.
Dedup _is_inside_container() in config.py to delegate to the new function.
Add _run_systemctl() wrapper that converts FileNotFoundError to RuntimeError
for defense-in-depth — all 10 bare subprocess.run(_systemctl_cmd(...)) call
sites now route through it.
Make supports_systemd_services() return False in containers and when
systemctl binary is absent (shutil.which check).
Add Docker-specific guidance in gateway_command() for install/uninstall/start
subcommands — exit 0 with helpful instructions instead of crashing.
Make 'hermes status' show 'Manager: docker (foreground)' and 'hermes dump'
show 'running (docker, pid N)' inside containers.
Fix setup_gateway() to use supports_systemd instead of _is_linux for all
systemd-related branches, and show Docker restart policy instructions in
containers.
Replace inline /.dockerenv check in voice_mode.py with is_container().
Fixes#7420

In Docker, HERMES_HOME=/opt/data (set in Dockerfile) and users mount
their .hermes directory to /opt/data. However, profile operations used
Path.home() / '.hermes' which resolves to /root/.hermes in Docker —
an ephemeral container path, not the mounted volume.
This caused:
- Profiles created at /root/.hermes/profiles/ (lost on container recreate)
- active_profile sticky file written to wrong location
- profile list looking at wrong directory
Fix: Add get_default_hermes_root() to hermes_constants.py that detects
Docker/custom deployments (HERMES_HOME outside ~/.hermes) and returns
HERMES_HOME as the root. Also handles Docker profiles correctly
(<root>/profiles/<name> → root is grandparent).
Files changed:
- hermes_constants.py: new get_default_hermes_root()
- hermes_cli/profiles.py: _get_default_hermes_home() delegates to shared fn
- hermes_cli/main.py: _apply_profile_override() + _invalidate_update_cache()
- hermes_cli/gateway.py: _profile_suffix() + _profile_arg()
- Tests: 12 new tests covering Docker scenarios
