# ---------- s6-overlay install ----------
# s6-overlay provides supervision for the main hermes process, the dashboard,
# and per-profile gateways. /init becomes PID 1 below — see ENTRYPOINT.
#
# Multi-arch: BuildKit auto-populates TARGETARCH (amd64 / arm64). s6-overlay
# uses tarball names keyed on the kernel arch string (x86_64 / aarch64), so
# we map between them inline. The noarch + symlinks tarballs are
# architecture-independent and reused as-is.
#
# We use `curl` instead of `ADD` for the per-arch tarball because `ADD`
# evaluates its URL at parse time, before any ARG / TARGETARCH substitution
# — splitting one URL per arch into two ADDs would download both on every
# build and leave dead bytes in the cache. A single curl + arch-keyed URL
# is simpler and cache-friendlier.
#
# Supply-chain integrity: every tarball is checksum-verified against the
# upstream-published SHA256. To bump S6_OVERLAY_VERSION, fetch the four
# `.sha256` files from the corresponding release and update the ARGs. The
# checksum lookup happens during build, so a compromised release artifact
# fails the build loudly instead of silently producing a tampered image.

# ---------- Layer-cached Python dependency install ----------
# Copy only pyproject.toml + uv.lock so the Python dep resolve + wheel
# download + native-extension compile layer is cached unless those inputs
# change.  Before this split the Python install sat after `COPY . .`, so
# every source-only commit re-did ~4-5 min of dep work on cold builds.
#
# README.md is referenced by pyproject.toml's `readme =` field, but it's
# excluded from the build context by .dockerignore's `*.md`.  uv's build
# frontend stats the readme path during dep resolution, so we `touch` an
# empty placeholder — the real README is restored by `COPY . .` below.
#
# `uv sync --frozen --no-install-project --extra all --extra messaging`
# installs the deps reachable through the composite `[all]` extra
# (handpicked set intended for the production image), plus gateway
# messaging adapters that should work in the published image without a
# first-boot lazy install.  We do NOT use `--all-extras`:
# that would pull in `[rl]` (atroposlib + tinker + torch + wandb from
# git), `[yc-bench]` (another git dep), and `[termux-all]` (Android
# redundancy), none of which belong in the published container.

# ---------- Permissions ----------
# Make install dir world-readable so any HERMES_UID can read it at runtime.
# The venv needs to be traversable too.
# node_modules trees additionally need to be writable by the hermes user
# so the runtime `npm install` triggered by _tui_need_npm_install() in
# hermes_cli/main.py succeeds (see #18800). /opt/hermes/web is build-time
# only (HERMES_WEB_DIST points at hermes_cli/web_dist) and is intentionally
# not chowned here.
# The .venv MUST remain hermes-writable so lazy_deps.py can install
# remaining optional platform packages and future pin bumps at first use.
# Without this, `uv pip install` fails with EACCES and adapters silently
# fail to load.  See tools/lazy_deps.py.

# run as the default hermes user (UID 10000).

# `exec hermes`. Wired in as cont-init.d/01- so it

#

# slots from $HERMES_HOME/profiles/<name>/ after a container restart
# (the /run/service/ scandir is tmpfs and wiped on restart). Phase 4.

# s6-overlay's /init is PID 1. It sets up the supervision tree, runs
# /etc/cont-init.d/* (our stage2 hook), starts s6-rc services
# declared in /etc/s6-overlay/s6-rc.d/, then exec's its remaining
# argv as the container's "main program" with stdin/stdout/stderr
# inherited (this is what makes interactive --tui work). When the
# main program exits, /init begins stage 3 shutdown and the container
# exits with the program's exit code. Replaces tini — see Phase 2 of
# docs/plans/2026-05-07-s6-overlay-dynamic-subagent-gateways.md.
#
# We use the ENTRYPOINT+CMD split rather than CMD alone so the
# wrapper is prepended to user-supplied args automatically:
#
#   docker run <image>                  → /init main-wrapper.sh   (CMD default)
#   docker run <image> chat -q "hi"     → /init main-wrapper.sh chat -q hi
#   docker run <image> sleep infinity   → /init main-wrapper.sh sleep infinity
#   docker run <image> --tui            → /init main-wrapper.sh --tui
#
# main-wrapper.sh handles arg routing (bare-exec vs. hermes
# subcommand vs. no-args), drops to the hermes user via s6-setuidgid,
# and exec's the final program so its exit code becomes the container
# exit code. Without the wrapper-as-ENTRYPOINT, leading-dash args
# like `--version` would be intercepted by /init's POSIX shell.
