teknium1 hit ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'hermes_bootstrap' after a code update, on both his Windows machine AND his Linux workstation. The failure mode is real and affects every user who updates hermes by any path OTHER than a fully-successful ``hermes update``. ## What happens hermes_bootstrap.py is a top-level module registered via pyproject.toml's ``py-modules`` list (added by Brooklyn's Windows UTF-8 stdio work). It must be registered in the venv's editable-install .pth file before Python can find it as a bare ``import hermes_bootstrap``. ``hermes update`` handles this correctly: (1) git reset --hard, (2) clear __pycache__, (3) uv pip install -e . (re-registers the package including the new py-modules list), (4) restart. BUT if any step AFTER (1) fails — network blip during pip install, PEP 668 on a system Python, venv locked, uv not in PATH, a crash mid-update — the user is left with new code that references hermes_bootstrap and a venv that doesn't know about it. Every hermes invocation after that crashes with ModuleNotFoundError, including ``hermes update`` itself. No recovery path without manual `uv pip install -e .`. Also affects users who ``git pull`` the repo directly without running hermes update — relatively common for developers. ## Fix Wrap ``import hermes_bootstrap`` in a try/except ModuleNotFoundError across all 6 entry points (hermes_cli/main, run_agent, gateway/run, acp_adapter/entry, cli, batch_runner). On Windows, missing bootstrap means the UTF-8 stdio setup doesn't run — degraded behavior (Unicode chars may fail to print) but NOT a crash. POSIX is unaffected either way since the bootstrap is a no-op there. Once hermes is running again, the user can ``hermes update`` to fully recover. ## Test update tests/test_hermes_bootstrap.py::test_entry_point_imports_bootstrap scans for the first top-level import in each entry point and asserts it is hermes_bootstrap. Extended the check to accept a Try block whose body is a lone Import of hermes_bootstrap — that's the recovery-friendly form we just introduced. Verified behavior by ``mv hermes_bootstrap.py hermes_bootstrap.py.bak`` and confirming ``python -c "import hermes_cli.main"`` succeeds. 82/82 tests pass (hermes_bootstrap + windows-native + windows-compat). |
