When operators ran `docker exec <c> hermes login` (or anything else that wrote under $HERMES_HOME) they defaulted to root, leaving /opt/data/auth.json root:root mode 0600. The supervised gateway (UID 10000) then couldn't read its own credentials and returned "Provider authentication failed: Hermes is not logged into Nous Portal" on every Telegram/Discord/etc. message — even though `docker exec <c> hermes chat -q ping` (also root) succeeded because root could read its own root-owned file. _load_auth_store swallowed PermissionError as a parse failure and copied the file aside as auth.json.corrupt, making the diagnostic more misleading. Fix: install a privilege-drop shim at /opt/hermes/bin/hermes, prepended ahead of the venv on PATH. When invoked as root the shim exec's the real venv binary via `s6-setuidgid hermes` — so any file the docker-exec session writes is uid-aligned with the supervised processes. Non-root callers (the supervised processes themselves, `docker exec --user hermes`, kanban subagents, anything inside the container that's not coming through docker-exec) hit a single exec to the absolute venv path with no privilege change. Recursion is impossible: the shim exec's the venv binary by absolute path (/opt/hermes/.venv/bin/hermes), so the second hop cannot re-enter the shim regardless of PATH state. No sentinel env var needed (unlike #33583's gateway-run redirect which DOES need HERMES_S6_SUPERVISED_CHILD because there's no absolute-path equivalent for the s6 dispatch). Opt-out: `docker exec -e HERMES_DOCKER_EXEC_AS_ROOT=1 …` for diagnostic sessions where the operator deliberately wants root. Strict truthiness (1/true/yes case-insensitive); typos like `=0` do not silently opt out, mirroring HERMES_GATEWAY_NO_SUPERVISE in #33583. If `s6-setuidgid` is missing (someone stripped s6-overlay in a downstream fork), the shim exits 126 with a remediation message pointing at `--user hermes` and the opt-out — never silently runs as root. Test plan: - tests/docker/test_docker_exec_privilege_drop.py — 11 tests - shim drops root to hermes uid (file ownership check) - shim short-circuits for non-root docker exec - HERMES_DOCKER_EXEC_AS_ROOT=1 keeps root - strict-truthiness parametrization (5 falsy values reject) - main CMD path unaffected (recursion guard) - E2E: every file written by docker-exec is readable by uid 10000 - Full tests/docker/ harness: 32/32 pass against fresh image build - shellcheck --severity=error: clean - hadolint: clean - Manual: reproduced the original symptom (root-owned auth.json) by bypassing the shim; confirmed default docker-exec produces hermes-owned files; confirmed opt-out env keeps root semantics. Known follow-up: this prevents NEW instances of the bug. Volumes that already have root:root /opt/data/auth.json from a pre-shim image need a one-time `chown hermes:hermes` before rebooting onto the new image. A stage2-hook chown sweep can self-heal that, but is deferred per scope decision. |
