The `@askjo/camofox-browser` npm package was a top-level entry in the root `package.json` `dependencies` block, so `hermes update` ran its postinstall on every user, every update. That postinstall calls `npx camoufox-js fetch`, which silently downloads a ~300MB Firefox-fork browser binary from GitHub Releases — multi-minute on fast connections, and a hard block for users on slow / restricted networks (notably users in China running through a VPN). Camofox is an explicit opt-in browser backend. The runtime check in `tools/browser_tool.py` only routes through Camofox when the user has set `CAMOFOX_URL` (selected via `hermes tools` → Browser Automation → Camofox). Users who never opted in never touched the package at runtime, yet every `hermes update` paid for the binary fetch anyway. This change: * Removes `@askjo/camofox-browser` from root `package.json` dependencies (and the regenerated `package-lock.json` drops Camofox's entire transitive tree, ~2.6k lines). * Updates the Camofox `post_setup` handler in `hermes_cli/tools_config.py` to install `@askjo/camofox-browser@^1.5.2` explicitly when the user selects Camofox, and streams npm output (no `--silent`, no `capture_output`) so the ~300MB download is visible rather than appearing frozen. * Adds `tests/test_package_json_lazy_deps.py` as a regression guard so future PRs can't silently re-add Camofox (or any binary-postinstall package) to eager root dependencies. `agent-browser` stays eager — it is the default Chromium-driving backend used by every session that does not have a cloud browser provider configured, and its postinstall is small. Validation: | | Before | After | |---|---|---| | `hermes update` time on slow network | multi-minute hang at `→ Updating Node.js dependencies...` | seconds (no binary fetch) | | Camofox opt-in install visibility | silent, looked frozen | streamed npm output | | Regression guard against re-adding | none | `test_package_json_lazy_deps.py` | Tests: - `tests/test_package_json_lazy_deps.py`: 3/3 pass - `tests/tools/test_browser_camofox*`: 92/92 pass - `tests/hermes_cli/test_tools_config.py`: 66/66 pass - `tests/hermes_cli/test_cmd_update.py` + adjacent: green Reported by lulu (Discord, May 2026) — `hermes update` hangs at `→ Updating Node.js dependencies...` in China.
