* feat: uninstall the Chat GUI without removing the agent (CLI + desktop UI) Adds a GUI-only uninstall path so people can remove the desktop Chat GUI while keeping the Hermes agent + their config/sessions/.env, and surfaces the three CLI uninstall modes inside the desktop app's Settings → About. CLI: - New hermes_cli/gui_uninstall.py: cross-platform discovery + removal of the desktop GUI's artifacts (source-built dist/release/node_modules + build stamp, the packaged app bundle, and the Electron userData dir) on Linux, macOS, and Windows. Never touches the agent source, venv, or user data. - `hermes uninstall --gui` removes only the Chat GUI; `--gui-summary` prints a JSON install snapshot (used by the desktop UI to gate options + detect a missing agent for a future lite client). - `hermes uninstall --yes` / `--full --yes` now run non-interactively, sharing the destructive sequence via a new _perform_uninstall() helper. The keep-data and full flows also sweep the GUI artifacts. Desktop: - electron/desktop-uninstall.cjs: pure helpers mapping each mode (gui/lite/full) to CLI flags, resolving the running app bundle per OS, and building the detached cleanup script that waits for the app to exit, runs the Python uninstall, and removes the bundle. - IPC hermes:uninstall:summary / :run, preload bridge, and types. - Settings → About "Danger zone" with the three options; agent-removing options hide when no local agent is detected. Tests: tests/hermes_cli/test_gui_uninstall.py (22 pass with the existing uninstall tests), electron/desktop-uninstall.test.cjs (17 pass, wired into test:desktop:platforms). Docs: desktop.md "Uninstalling" + cli-commands.md. * fix(desktop): tear down backend process tree before GUI uninstall (Windows lock safety) The desktop uninstall cleanup script waited only on the desktop app's own PID, but a backend grandchild (gateway / pty terminal / hermes REPL) can outlive it and keep hermes.exe + venv files mandatory-locked on Windows — making the script's rmdir half-fail and leaving a partial install, the same failure class as the self-update path's #37532. - main.cjs: runDesktopUninstall now awaits releaseBackendLock() before spawning the cleanup script — tree-kills every backend PID the desktop owns (primary + pool) via taskkill /T /F and polls the venv shim until unlocked. Extracted the shared core out of releaseBackendLockForUpdate so both the update hand-off and the uninstaller use the identical, incident-hardened teardown. No-op on macOS/Linux (no mandatory locks). - desktop-uninstall.cjs: Windows cleanup script removes the bundle via a bounded rmdir retry loop (10x, 1s) instead of a single rmdir, since Windows releases directory handles lazily even after the holding process exits. - Dropped a fragile tasklist|findstr reap-by-path attempt; the Electron-side tree-kill-by-PID is the reliable mechanism. Tests: desktop-uninstall.test.cjs updated for the retry-loop output (17 pass). * fix(desktop): address review on GUI uninstall (venv self-delete, gates, wait-loop) Resolves @OutThisLife's review on #40355: 1. full mode now gated on agent presence (needsAgent: true). It removes the agent + user data, so on a lite client with no local agent it's hidden like lite — no more offering to remove an agent that isn't there. 2. (Finding 3, the real bug) lite/full no longer rmtree the venv from the venv's OWN python. On Windows a running python.exe is mandatory-locked, so that half-fails. New lightweight 'python -m hermes_cli.uninstall --mode X' entrypoint (stdlib-only imports) lets the desktop run agent-removing modes under the SYSTEM python (findSystemPython) with PYTHONPATH=<agentRoot>, so import hermes_cli resolves from source while the venv is torn down. Falls back to venv python + logs when no system python (gui-only unaffected). 3. Windows wait-loop is now bounded (60 tries, matching POSIX) and matches the PID as a whole space-delimited token via findstr (no substring 99->990 trap, no redundant bare find). set HERMES_HOME/PID/PYTHONPATH now quoted. 4. Renamed the misleading 'returns null for dev run' test — the dev-run safety is shouldRemoveAppBundle(isPackaged=false), which the test now asserts. Docs: note that --gui on a source checkout also sweeps node_modules/build output. Tests: 18 python + 19 desktop pass. |

This website is built using Docusaurus, a modern static website generator.
Installation
yarn
Local Development
yarn start
This command starts a local development server and opens up a browser window. Most changes are reflected live without having to restart the server.
Build
yarn build
This command generates static content into the build directory and can be served using any static contents hosting service.
Deployment
Using SSH:
USE_SSH=true yarn deploy
Not using SSH:
GIT_USER=<Your GitHub username> yarn deploy
If you are using GitHub pages for hosting, this command is a convenient way to build the website and push to the gh-pages branch.
Diagram Linting
CI runs ascii-guard to lint docs for ASCII box diagrams. Use Mermaid (````mermaid`) or plain lists/tables instead of ASCII boxes to avoid CI failures.
