"""Boot-time re-seed of a terminally-dead Nous bootstrap session.
Background
----------
A Nous bootstrap session (client_id ``hermes-cli-vps``) can take a terminal
``invalid_grant`` and be quarantined locally — the refresh path clears the dead
tokens from ``auth.json`` and stamps
``providers.nous.last_auth_error.relogin_required = true``. From then on every
inference turn hard-fails with a provider-auth error until the credential is
replaced, even though the gateway and dashboard otherwise look healthy.
``stage2-hook.sh`` seeds ``auth.json`` from ``HERMES_AUTH_JSON_BOOTSTRAP`` only
on a *blank* volume (``[ ! -f auth.json ]``) — that guard is load-bearing: it
stops a container restart from clobbering a healthy, rotated refresh token. So a
plain restart with a fresh seed env can NOT recover a container whose volume
already has an auth.json.
This script is the narrow, safe exception. An orchestrator that manages the
container can supply a freshly-issued bootstrap session via
``HERMES_AUTH_JSON_REBOOTSTRAP`` (plus a restart). On boot we re-seed the Nous
provider entry from that env when the on-disk entry is provably terminal, or
when the orchestrator seed's ``obtained_at`` is newer than the local session.
The latter matters because an orchestrator may revoke the previous session
before restart while its still-present local tokens look healthy. Older or
incomparable seeds remain no-ops, so a retained env cannot roll auth backward.
Design constraints
------------------
- Pure stdlib, no hermes_cli imports: runs early in the boot hook, before the
app venv/modules are guaranteed importable, as its own subprocess.
- Surgical: replaces ONLY ``providers.nous`` in the existing auth.json, leaving
every other provider, the version, and any other top-level state untouched.
- Fail-safe: any parse/IO error leaves auth.json exactly as-is and exits 0 (a
failed re-seed must never take the container further down than it already is).
