Native Windows (with Git for Windows installed) can now run the Hermes CLI and gateway end-to-end without crashing. install.ps1 already existed and the Git Bash terminal backend was already wired up — this PR fills the remaining gaps discovered by auditing every Windows-unsafe primitive (`signal.SIGKILL`, `os.kill(pid, 0)` probes, bare `fcntl`/`termios` imports) and by comparing hermes against how Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex, and Cline handle native Windows. ## What changed ### UTF-8 stdio (new module) - `hermes_cli/stdio.py` — single `configure_windows_stdio()` entry point. Flips the console code page to CP_UTF8 (65001), reconfigures `sys.stdout`/`stderr`/`stdin` to UTF-8, sets `PYTHONIOENCODING` + `PYTHONUTF8` for subprocesses. No-op on non-Windows. Opt out via `HERMES_DISABLE_WINDOWS_UTF8=1`. - Called early in `cli.py::main`, `hermes_cli/main.py::main`, and `gateway/run.py::main` so Unicode banners (box-drawing, geometric symbols, non-Latin chat text) don't `UnicodeEncodeError` on cp1252 consoles. ### Crash sites fixed - `hermes_cli/main.py:7970` (hermes update → stuck gateway sweep): raw `os.kill(pid, _signal.SIGKILL)` → `gateway.status.terminate_pid(pid, force=True)` which routes through `taskkill /T /F` on Windows. - `hermes_cli/profiles.py::_stop_gateway_process`: same fix — also converted SIGTERM path to `terminate_pid()` and widened OSError catch on the intermediate `os.kill(pid, 0)` probe. - `hermes_cli/kanban_db.py:2914, 3041`: raw `signal.SIGKILL` → `getattr(signal, "SIGKILL", signal.SIGTERM)` fallback (matches the pattern already used in `gateway/status.py`). ### OSError widening on `os.kill(pid, 0)` probes Windows raises `OSError` (WinError 87) for a gone PID instead of `ProcessLookupError`. Widened the catch at: - `gateway/run.py:15101` (`--replace` wait-for-exit loop — without this, the loop busy-spins the full 10s every Windows gateway start) - `hermes_cli/gateway.py:228, 460, 940` - `hermes_cli/profiles.py:777` - `tools/process_registry.py::_is_host_pid_alive` - `tools/browser_tool.py:1170, 1206` ### Dashboard PTY graceful degradation `hermes_cli/pty_bridge.py` depends on `fcntl`/`termios`/`ptyprocess`, none of which exist on native Windows. Previously a Windows dashboard would crash on `import hermes_cli.web_server` because of a top-level import. Now: - `hermes_cli/web_server.py` wraps the pty_bridge import in `try/except ImportError` and sets `_PTY_BRIDGE_AVAILABLE=False`. - The `/api/pty` WebSocket handler returns a friendly "use WSL2 for this tab" message instead of exploding. - Every other dashboard feature (sessions, jobs, metrics, config editor) runs natively on Windows. ### Dependency - `pyproject.toml`: add `tzdata>=2023.3; sys_platform == 'win32'` so Python's `zoneinfo` works on Windows (which has no IANA tzdata shipped with the OS). Credits @sprmn24 (PR #13182). ### Docs - README.md: removed "Native Windows is not supported"; added PowerShell one-liner and Git-for-Windows prerequisite note. - `website/docs/getting-started/installation.md`: new Windows section with capability matrix (everything native except the dashboard `/chat` PTY tab, which is WSL2-only). - `website/docs/user-guide/windows-wsl-quickstart.md`: reframed as "WSL2 as an alternative to native" rather than "the only way". - `website/docs/developer-guide/contributing.md`: updated cross-platform guidance with the `signal.SIGKILL` / `OSError` rules we enforce now. - `website/docs/user-guide/features/web-dashboard.md`: acknowledged native Windows works for everything except the embedded PTY pane. ## Why this shape Pulled from a survey of how other agent codebases handle native Windows (Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex, Cline): - All four treat Git Bash as the canonical shell on Windows, same as hermes already does in `tools/environments/local.py::_find_bash()`. - None of them force `SetConsoleOutputCP` — but they don't have to, Node/Rust write UTF-16 to the Win32 console API. Python does not get that for free, so we flip CP_UTF8 via ctypes. - None of them ship PowerShell-as-primary-shell (Claude Code exposes PS as a secondary tool; scope creep for this PR). - All of them use `taskkill /T /F` for force-kill on Windows, which is exactly what `gateway.status.terminate_pid(force=True)` does. ## Non-goals (deliberate scope limits) - No PowerShell-as-a-second-shell tool — worth designing separately. - No terminal routing rewrite (#12317, #15461, #19800 cluster) — that's the hardest design call and needs a separate doc. - No wholesale `open()` → `open(..., encoding="utf-8")` sweep (Tianworld cluster) — will do as follow-up if users hit actual breakage; most modern code already specifies it. ## Validation - 28 new tests in `tests/tools/test_windows_native_support.py` — all platform-mocked, pass on Linux CI. Cover: - `configure_windows_stdio` idempotency, opt-out, env-preservation - `terminate_pid` taskkill routing, failure → OSError, FileNotFoundError fallback - `getattr(signal, "SIGKILL", …)` fallback shape - `_is_host_pid_alive` OSError widening (Windows-gone-PID behavior) - Source-level checks that all entry points call `configure_windows_stdio` - pty_bridge import-guard present in `web_server.py` - README no longer says "not supported" - 12 pre-existing tests in `tests/tools/test_windows_compat.py` still pass. - `tests/hermes_cli/` ran fully (3909 passed, 9 failures — all confirmed pre-existing on main by stash-test). - `tests/gateway/` ran fully (5021 passed, 1 pre-existing failure). - `tests/tools/test_process_registry.py` + `test_browser_*` pass. - Manual smoke: `import hermes_cli.stdio; import gateway.run; import hermes_cli.web_server` — all clean, `_PTY_BRIDGE_AVAILABLE=True` on Linux (as expected). ## Files - New: `hermes_cli/stdio.py`, `tests/tools/test_windows_native_support.py` - Modified: `cli.py`, `gateway/run.py`, `hermes_cli/main.py`, `hermes_cli/profiles.py`, `hermes_cli/gateway.py`, `hermes_cli/kanban_db.py`, `hermes_cli/pty_bridge.py`, `hermes_cli/web_server.py`, `tools/browser_tool.py`, `tools/process_registry.py`, `pyproject.toml`, `README.md`, and 4 docs pages. Credits to everyone whose prior PR work informed these fixes — see the co-author trailers. All of the PRs listed in `~/.hermes/plans/windows-support-prs.md` fixing `os.kill` / `signal.SIGKILL` / UTF-8 stdio / tzdata / README patterns found the same issues; this PR consolidates them.
