"""Regression test: `hermes dashboard --tui` must not hard-crash. Older Hermes desktop app shells (<= 0.15.x) spawn the backend as:: hermes dashboard --no-open --tui --host 127.0.0.1 --port The ``--tui`` flag was removed from the ``dashboard`` subcommand in cae6b5486 (embedded chat is always on now). When a user's CLI updates past that commit but their desktop app binary has not, argparse used to reject the unknown flag with ``error: unrecognized arguments: --tui`` and ``exit(2)`` — the backend died before it became ready and the desktop GUI showed only "Hermes couldn't start" with no actionable cause. The fix adds a hidden, deprecated, accepted-and-ignored ``--tui`` flag to the dashboard subparser so an old app shell + new CLI degrades gracefully instead of bricking. These tests pin that contract.
