# nix/desktop.nix — Hermes Desktop (Electron) app build + wrapper
#
# `hermesAgent` is the fully-built `.#default` package — it ships the
# `hermes` binary with the venv, runtime PATH, bundled skills/plugins, etc.
# already wired up.  We point the desktop at it via the existing
# `HERMES_DESKTOP_HERMES` override env var, so the desktop's resolver
# uses our fully wrapped binary at step 4 ("existing Hermes CLI").
# No reimplementation of the agent resolution in this wrapper.
