allow you to simulate the whole official curl | bash installer,
and subsequent hermes updates.
Run development commands in a bubblewrap filesystem and network sandbox
with a local HTTPS MITM fixture server and a fake github
git-upload-pack transport.
Package the sandbox command and expose it from the nix devShell.
Stage the local installer at its canonical fake HTTPS URL and add a
persistent installation/update test path. Route root installs through
sandbox-owned filesystem locations and snapshot dirty source worktrees
into temporary fake commits so update tests can fast-forward without
changing the real checkout.
Includes a --install-ref sandbox installer mode that fetches any commit
(--from-main is a nice shorthand for local development) outside the
sealed sandbox, installs from that snapshot, and then promotes the fake
remote to the current worktree so update flows can be exercised with FF.
Notes on non-root sandboxes:
Giving a non-root sandbox a network is tricky.
slirp4netns joins the target userns and setuids to root before configuring the
netns, so the userns must map a uid 0; bwrap's --unshare-user maps exactly ONE
uid, so --uid 1000 leaves no root to become and slirp diedswith
`setns(CLONE_NEWNET): Operation not permitted`. Stage 1 builds the user+net
namespaces with `unshare` and two one-id ranges:
inner 0 -> a subuid, unused by the payload, present only so slirp can
become root
inner 1000 -> our real host uid
Mapping the payload to the *host* uid (not a second subuid) keeps everything the
sandbox writes owned by us, so `rm -rf` on a persistent sandbox still needs no
privileges. Stage 2 execs bwrap WITHOUT --unshare-user -- it only adds mount/pid
-- sidestepping bwrap's refusal to accept --uid outside a userns it created.
Costs a /etc/subuid range for the invoking user (we error with the exact line to
add) and util-linux `unshare`; `--root` needs neither.
`nix/devShell.nix` collected `devShellHook` by scanning every package:
nonNpmHooks = map (p: p.passthru.devShellHook or "") packages;
But `minimal` and `messaging` are `.override` variants of `default`, so
each carries its own `devShellHook` exporting its own HERMES_PYTHON. The
scan therefore concatenated three conflicting exports and forced Nix to
evaluate and realise three separate uv2nix editable venvs on every
`nix develop`.
`attrValues` is alphabetical, so the last hook won (`minimal`) while
`python`/VIRTUAL_ENV came from `default`'s devDeps:
HERMES_PYTHON = ...dimim2... (minimal — no optional deps)
python / VIRTUAL_ENV = ...85r28... (full)
Inside the shell `$HERMES_PYTHON -c "import anthropic"` failed while
`python -c "import anthropic"` succeeded. Worse, `scripts/run_tests.sh`
prefers HERMES_PYTHON, so the suite ran against the minimal venv. Its
guard did not catch this: it only checks that HERMES_PYTHON has pytest,
and minimal's venv does (pytest is in the `dev` group), so the wrong
interpreter was silently accepted.
Tying the hook to `packages.default` — the same package whose `devDeps`
are installed — keeps HERMES_PYTHON, `python`, and VIRTUAL_ENV pointing
at one venv by construction.
editable venvs referenced 3 -> 1
their combined closure 421 MB -> 140 MB
test failures 85 -> 32
The venv mismatch was masking 53 failures; e.g. test_web_tools_config.py
goes 2-failed -> 38-passed. Full suite is now 25369 passed / 32 failed,
and those 32 reproduce identically on a pristine HEAD worktree with no
nix/ changes under the same interpreter (mostly NixOS artifacts — tests
spawning bare `python3` in a scrubbed env exit 127).
Hermes now pins its toolchain to Node 26 everywhere. Every path that
installs, accepts, heals, or upgrades a Node runtime moves from the old
22-default / `^20.19 || >=22.12` floor to a single rule: Node >=26.
Installers:
- scripts/install.sh — NODE_VERSION=26; node_satisfies_build() collapses
the two-branch Vite floor to `major >= 26`; user-facing messages updated.
- scripts/install.ps1 — $NodeVersion=26; Test-NodeVersionOk likewise;
winget fallback switches OpenJS.NodeJS.LTS -> OpenJS.NodeJS (26 is
Current, not LTS — the LTS manifest would reinstall a too-old Node).
- Dockerfile — node_source stage node:22-bookworm-slim -> node:26 (digest
pinned, amd64 sha256:9e6f...bf73).
- nix/ was already on nodejs_26 (lib.nix, npm-12-0-2.nix); the checks.nix
wrapper check ratchets from `>= 20` to `>= 26`.
Heal/upgrade paths:
- scripts/lib/node-bootstrap.sh — HERMES_NODE_TARGET_MAJOR default 22->26
and HERMES_NODE_MIN_VERSION default 20->26, so heal_managed_node,
_nb_install_bundled_node, and the fnm/proto/nvm/brew rungs all target 26
and stop accepting an on-PATH Node below it. Both remain env-overridable.
- hermes_constants.py — _HERMES_NODE_TARGET_MAJOR fallback 22->26, which
drives the Windows heal path's latest-v26.x download.
Version gates:
- package.json engines.node >=20 -> >=26; apps/desktop engines
`^20.19.0 || >=22.12.0` -> `>=26.0.0`.
- CI setup-node: all five workflows 22 -> 26.
- Docs describing Hermes's own toolchain updated (windows-native, docker,
acp, nix-setup, contributing). Skill docs describing third-party tools'
own requirements are untouched.
Termux still installs via `pkg install nodejs` best-effort (nodejs.org
ships no Android tarballs); that path was never version-gated.
Verified: bash -n on both shell scripts, PowerShell AST parse of
install.ps1, latest-v26.x index resolves (node-v26.5.1), and the install
test suite — 18 tests across the 5 install/runtime test files — passes.
* fix(desktop): hide persisted agent-only history scaffolding
Filter verification-stop nudges and context-compaction handoffs at the
stored-history mapper boundary. Preserve a real reply when a compaction
handoff shares its stored message.
* test(desktop): build persisted E2E sessions through the real agent
Drive tui_gateway.entry over its stdio JSON-RPC transport against the mock
provider, wait for real completion events, and persist normal session history
through AIAgent and SessionDB. Migrate resume and hidden-history coverage,
including real compression and live verify-on-stop scaffolding, then remove
the unused direct SessionDB import scripts.
* fix(desktop): use the provisioned Python for real-session E2Es
Run the stdio gateway through uv's synced project environment outside the
Nix dev shell, while retaining the fully provisioned Nix Python when the
shell advertises HERMES_PYTHON_SRC_ROOT.
* fix(nix): expose the provisioned Python environment to uv
Mark the Nix-built Python environment active in the dev shell so the shared
E2E session builder can always run through `uv run --active --no-sync`.
* fix(timeline): persist typed display events
* fix(timeline): strip display-only fields from provider payloads, preserve through rewrites, fix /resume display history
Three review findings from PR #69771:
1. Provider payload leak: display_kind and display_metadata were forwarded
to the provider API as unknown message fields. Strict OpenAI-compatible
backends can reject the next request after a model switch or resumed
typed event. Strip both from the per-request api_msg copy in
conversation_loop alongside the existing api_content pop.
2. Rewrite/import data loss: _insert_message_rows preserved display_kind
but silently dropped display_metadata. After replace_messages,
archive_and_compact, or session import, async-delegation completion
events lost their task counts and fell back to generic display text.
Add display_metadata to the INSERT columns and bind tuple.
3. CLI /resume stale recap: startup --resume A set _resume_display_history
from A's lineage. A subsequent in-session /resume B loaded B only into
conversation_history via get_messages_as_conversation, leaving the stale
A display projection. _display_resumed_history preferentially read the
stale attribute, showing A's recap for B. Switch /resume to
get_resume_conversations and update _resume_display_history alongside
conversation_history.
Tests: 890 Python (5 files), 35 desktop TS — all green.
* feat(tui): render typed display events as ◈ markers in the Ink TUI
The TUI was not handling display_kind at all — model switch markers and
async delegation completions rendered as opaque user messages with the
full [System: ...] text, and hidden compaction handoffs were visible.
Wire display_kind through the full TUI chain:
- _history_to_messages (tui_gateway/server.py) forwards display_kind
and display_metadata to the gateway transcript payload.
- GatewayTranscriptMessage (gatewayTypes.ts) gains both fields.
- Msg.kind (types.ts) gains 'event' value.
- toTranscriptMessages (domain/messages.ts) maps:
- hidden → skip entirely
- model_switch → event "model changed"
- async_delegation_complete → event "N background agents finished"
(or "background agent work finished" without metadata)
- messageGroup (blockLayout.ts) routes event to its own group, with
SELF_SPACED + PAINTS_TRAILING_GAP so it owns its margins.
- messageLine.tsx renders event-kind as a dim ◈ marker with no gutter,
matching the CLI's ◈ event rendering.
- 4 new TUI tests for hidden/model_switch/async_delegation mapping.
TUI typecheck: clean. TUI lint: 0 errors (2 pre-existing warnings).
TUI tests: 9 passed (1 pre-existing failure on main, unrelated).
Removes Homebrew and PyPI wheel/sdist as Hermes distribution paths while
preserving the supported source, Docker, and Nix workflows.
Changes:
- Removes the Homebrew formula, PyPI publish workflow, sdist manifest
(MANIFEST.in), and wheel/sdist release-attachment logic from scripts/release.py.
- Keeps setuptools metadata and entry points required by editable installs
and Docker/Nix builds, but adds a setup.py guard that rejects wheel/sdist
builds outside a sealed Nix derivation (HERMES_NIX_BUILD=1).
- Removes pip/Homebrew install detection, PyPI update checks, the pip
self-update path, the deprecation-banner state, the postinstall subcommand,
wheel data-directory fallbacks in agent/i18n.py and hermes_constants.py,
and the ACP Registry manifest/version-lockstep release logic.
- Adds /nix/store/ path detection so `nix run` / `nix profile install`
installs (which don't set HERMES_MANAGED) are correctly identified as
"nix" rather than falling through to "git"/"unknown".
- Retired install-method values ("pip", "homebrew") in existing
.install_method stamps (both code-scoped and home-scoped) are ignored by
the allowlist reader and fall through to "unknown" instead of resurrecting
a retired enum value.
- Updates Nix packaging to ship bare runtime data (locales, optional-mcps)
through store symlinks and wrapper env vars instead of wheel data-files.
- Removes the ACP Registry manifest/icon and their version-lockstep tests.
- Deletes or rewrites packaging, pip-update, Homebrew, and ACP Registry
tests; adds parametrized coverage for the packaging build guard covering
BOTH sdist and wheel paths (the guards live in separate cmdclass entries
— a passing sdist test proves nothing about the wheel path).
- Updates installation/platform documentation and related user-facing copy.
- Adjusts the supply-chain scan so deleted install-hook files do not trigger
a finding, while additions or modifications still require the existing
ci-reviewed label gate.
Supported installation paths (unchanged):
- git installer (install.sh)
- Docker
- Nix/NixOS
- editable development installs (uv sync, uv pip install -e ., pip install -e .)
* nix: add `cage` to devShell
* test(desktop): add pre-filled sessions support
Exports createSandbox, writeMockProviderConfig, writeEnvFile,
buildAppEnv, findElectron, and launchDesktop from fixtures.ts so
specs can compose their own seeded-backend fixtures without duplicating
the sandbox/config/launch logic.
* test(desktop): auto-fail e2e tests on error banner
Adds a shared test fixture (e2e/test.ts) that wraps @playwright/test's
page with an error-banner guard. When any [role="alert"] element
(error notification toast) appears in the DOM during a test, the test
fails with the error message text.
The guard uses:
- A MutationObserver (injected via addInitScript) that watches for
[role="alert"] elements appearing at any point during the test
- A final DOM scan in afterEach for alerts still visible at teardown
- Deduplication so the same error text only fires once
All existing e2e specs updated to import { test, expect } from './test'
instead of '@playwright/test'. No per-spec setup needed — the guard is
auto-installed on every page via the extended fixture.
This catches issues like the "resume failed" error banner that can
appear during session loading — previously the test would pass while
an error toast was silently visible on screen.
* fix(state): parse tool_calls JSON string before re-serializing
_insert_message_rows and append_message both do json.dumps(tool_calls)
to serialize the field for SQLite storage. But when tool_calls arrives
as a JSON string (from import_sessions / export_session, which store it
as TEXT), json.dumps double-encodes it — wrapping the already-serialized
string in quotes and escaping the inner quotes.
When _rows_to_conversation later does json.loads(row['tool_calls']),
the double-encoded string parses back to a plain string (not a list).
_history_to_messages then iterates this string character-by-character,
calling tc.get('function', {}) on each char — 'str' object has no
attribute 'get'.
This was a pre-existing bug (on main), but only triggered by the
import_sessions path (the live agent always passes tool_calls as a
Python list). The e2e error-banner guard caught it via the 'Resume
failed' notification toast.
Fix: in both append_message and _insert_message_rows, parse tool_calls
with json.loads first if it's a string, then re-serialize.
* fix(desktop): exempt boot-failure from error guard
- boot-failure: add allowErrorBanners() beforeEach — these tests
deliberately trigger boot errors, so error toasts are expected
- test.ts: export allowErrorBanners() opt-out + reset flag in afterEach
- Type gatewayState in session store
- Electron main.ts: force-show window for e2e test workers
- tsconfig: include e2e test types
- nix/devShell.nix: add cage for headless visual testing on tiling WMs
* fix(nix): fold makeWrapper line continuations into optionalStrings
When rev == null (any dirty-tree build), the empty optionalString
expansion left the previous line's trailing backslash dangling onto a
blank line, ending the makeWrapper command early and running
`--suffix PYTHONPATH ...` as its own shell command (`--suffix: command
not found`, exit 127). Clean trees passed CI; dirty trees with
extraPythonPackages failed — exactly the path the NixOS module
exercises.
The continuation now lives inside each optionalString (" \\\n --set
..."), so the makeWrapper chain stays intact whether or not the
optional flags expand.
Verified by building with rev = null + extraPythonPackages =
[ pyfiglet ]: wrapper builds, PYTHONPATH suffix lands inside the
makeWrapper call, wrapped `hermes --version` runs, and the collision
check still executes (certifi correctly rejected).
* perf(nix): filter derivation sources to shrink rebuild scope
Every derivation previously saw the whole repo, so any file change
rebuilt everything. Each derivation now gets a filtered src with only
the files it consumes:
- lib.nix: derive npm workspace topology from the root package.json
`workspaces` globs (single source of truth — a new workspace member
is picked up with zero nix edits). pythonSrc (cleanSourceWith)
excludes the JS workspace trees, docs/website, docker/.github,
tests, nix/, flake.nix/flake.lock, root docs, and skills/ +
optional-skills/. importNpmLock reads from a fileset-filtered
npmRoot (root manifests + member package.jsons only).
- mkNpmPassthru takes `dirs` — the workspace dirs the package
contains — and builds a per-package fileset src from them. web and
desktop include apps/shared (file: dep). One shared
`nix run .#update-npm-lockfile` replaces the per-package
update_*_lockfile bins that only existed inside build sandboxes.
- python.nix: release venv loads the uv2nix workspace from pythonSrc.
The editable venv keeps an unfiltered ./.. root —
mkEditablePyprojectOverlay calls lib.path.splitRoot, which rejects
a cleanSourceWith set, and the editable install reads the live
checkout anyway.
- hermes-agent.nix: skills ship exclusively via HERMES_BUNDLED_SKILLS
/ HERMES_OPTIONAL_SKILLS (same mechanism as Homebrew packaging;
setup.py's _data_file_tree returns [] for missing dirs), so
SKILL.md edits no longer rebuild the venv. optional-mcps stays in
the wheel — pyproject.toml lists its manifests as explicit
data-files. Bundled assets are symlinked instead of copied, making
the wrapper drv near-instant when only an input changed.
__pycache__ filtered from bundled skills.
- checks.nix: find -L through the new symlinks; assert
optional-skills presence + HERMES_OPTIONAL_SKILLS in the wrapper.
- run_tests.sh: fall back to $HERMES_PYTHON when no local venv
exists, guarded by an `import pytest` probe (HERMES_PYTHON from a
wrapped hermes binary points at the release venv, which has no
pytest — without the guard every test file dies with "No module
named pytest" while the runner exits 0).
Verified: nix flake check exit 0; built .#default .#tui .#web
.#desktop; SKILL.md and flake.nix edits leave the venv drvPath
unchanged; .py edits leave the tui drvPath unchanged; .tsx edits
leave the venv drvPath unchanged (and do change the tui drv);
scripts/run_tests.sh runs 299 tests green through both the venv and
HERMES_PYTHON paths, and rejects a pytest-less HERMES_PYTHON.
* refactor(nix): overlay aliases the flake's own package instead of re-instantiating
The overlay previously re-called callPackage against the consumer's
nixpkgs (final), so pkgs.hermes-agent could be a different derivation
than nix build .#default and the NixOS module's default — an untested
build matrix against arbitrary consumer nixpkgs versions, for a
package whose Python side is uv2nix-locked anyway.
Now the overlay is a pure alias for the flake's own locked package:
one callPackage site (packages.nix), everything else references it.
.override { ... } still works — callPackage's makeOverridable travels
with the derivation.
Verified: direct drvPath == overlaid drvPath; .override produces a
distinct drv.
* fix(nix): dedupe extraPlugins assertions, replace MESSAGING_CWD with terminal.cwd
- Delete the duplicated extraPlugins duplicate-name assertions block
(same assertion declared twice back to back).
- Stop setting the deprecated MESSAGING_CWD env var, which made the
module trip hermes' own startup deprecation warning. The working
directory is now injected as terminal.cwd into the generated
config.yaml; cfg.settings wins via recursiveUpdate, and container
mode maps to the in-container mount path.
scripts/desktop-sandbox.sh runs a Hermes desktop instance in an isolated
sandbox — separate HERMES_HOME, separate Electron userData, and a
distinct
app name (HERMES_DESKTOP_APP_NAME) so it doesn't compete with the main
desktop instance's single-instance lock.
Two modes:
- Ephemeral (default): temp dir, cleaned up on exit
- --persistent: stored under .hermes-sandbox/ in the worktree git root,
survives restarts for repeat testing
In the Nix devShell the script is available as 'sandbox'.
Also makes APP_NAME overridable via HERMES_DESKTOP_APP_NAME in main.ts —
app.setName() runs before requestSingleInstanceLock(), so the overridden
name changes the lock key. collectRelaunchEnv already preserves
HERMES_DESKTOP_* vars through self-update relaunches; test updated to
cover the new env var.
* feat(install): warn pip/Homebrew installs are unsupported (CLI, TUI, desktop)
pip and Homebrew are now Unsupported install methods per
website/docs/getting-started/platform-support.md. Surface a
warn-don't-block deprecation notice everywhere the install method is
already shown, pointing at the platform-support docs and noting these
installs will not receive further updates. NixOS (Tier 2) is untouched.
- hermes_cli/config.py: shared is_unsupported_install_method() /
format_unsupported_install_warning() helpers so the wording and docs
link stay consistent across every surface.
- hermes_cli/banner.py: generalize the existing pip-only banner
warning to also cover Homebrew.
- hermes_cli/main.py: hermes update and hermes update --check print
the warning before proceeding (still update; warn, don't block).
- tui_gateway/server.py: session.info gains install_warning.
- ui-tui: SessionPanel renders install_warning alongside the existing
'N commits behind' notice.
- apps/desktop: SessionRuntimeInfo/GatewayEventPayload gain
install_warning; applyRuntimeInfo + the live session.info event fire
a snoozable warning toast via a new reportInstallMethodWarning(),
mirroring the existing backend-contract-skew toast pattern. i18n
strings added for en/zh/zh-hant/ja.
- Tests: updated pip banner assertions for the new wording, added a
Homebrew banner test, and two tui_gateway session_info tests
(install_warning present for pip, absent for git).
* fix(nix): make `hermes` in developement environment actually work
install modules as editable overlay with uv
* feat: print install method when running --version
* fix: correct detect install method when running from a subtree
`npm run build` ended with `bundle-electron-main.mjs`, which esbuild-bundled
electron/main.cjs and renamed the bundle on top of the tracked source file.
Because every `hermes desktop` runs `npm run build`, each launch rewrote a
checked-in source file (~7.5k-line source -> ~14.8k-line bundle), dirtying the
working tree with a build artifact that `git restore` couldn't keep (the next
launch re-clobbered it) and forcing autostash/restore conflicts on update.
The bundle only existed to inline `simple-git` so the packaged app.asar (which
ships no node_modules) wouldn't crash at launch with "Cannot find module
'simple-git'". Replace it with the mechanism the repo already uses for the
other hoisted runtime dep (node-pty): stage the dependency closure and resolve
it from process.resourcesPath at runtime.
- stage-native-deps.cjs: resolve simple-git's runtime closure (walking
dependencies + optionalDependencies, so a version bump that adds a transitive
dep can't silently reintroduce the crash) and stage it under
build/native-deps/vendor/node_modules/. The `vendor/` nesting is load-bearing:
electron-builder drops a node_modules dir at the ROOT of an extraResources
copy but keeps a nested one.
- git-review-ops.cjs: fall back to the staged
native-deps/vendor/node_modules/simple-git when the hoisted require() fails;
dev runs resolve the hoisted copy and never hit the fallback.
- package.json: drop the bundler from the `build` script so main.cjs is never a
build target again.
- nix/desktop.nix: drop the direct bundler call (the closure rides the existing
`cp -rn native-deps` into $out) and patch process.resourcesPath in
git-review-ops.cjs alongside main.cjs.
- delete scripts/bundle-electron-main.mjs.
Verified: electron-builder's own file filter keeps the full staged closure
(0 dropped), and a packaged win-unpacked build launches with the git-review
pane resolving simple-git from the staged vendor path.
The npm workspace pins a single npmDepsHash for fetchNpmDeps. Any change to
package-lock.json that doesn't also refresh that hash breaks the bundled
hermes-tui / hermes-desktop-renderer build for Nix flake consumers, and no
nix CI catches it — the workflow that ran fix-lockfiles was removed in
9eb0bcd6 ("change(ci): rip out nix ci for now").
Fetch the workspace deps with pkgs.importNpmLock instead. It resolves each
package from the lockfile's own integrity hashes, so package-lock.json is the
single source of truth and there is no separate hash to drift.
This also removes:
- the fix-lockfiles checker/refresher and its devShell wiring — it existed
only to keep npmDepsHash in sync, so it is dead once the hash is gone, and
its sole CI consumer was already removed in 9eb0bcd6;
- the patchPhase that normalized lockfile trailing newlines — importNpmLock's
npmConfigHook overwrites the lockfile rather than diffing it, so the
normalization is unnecessary.
npm-lockfile-fix is retained: importNpmLock requires an integrity-complete
lockfile, which that tool guarantees when the lockfile is regenerated.

PR #47792 pinned Electron to an exact 40.10.2 and regenerated the root
package-lock.json (dropping @electron/get@5 + @electron-internal/extract-zip,
restoring @electron/get@2 + extract-zip@2 + yauzl), but did not refresh the
shared npmDepsHash in nix/lib.nix. The hash still described the previous
40.10.3 lockfile, so npmConfigHook fails on every Nix build with
"npmDepsHash is out of date" for hermes-tui / hermes-web / hermes-desktop.
Regenerate the single shared hash to match the current lockfile.
Verified with fetchNpmDeps (authoritative, not prefetch-npm-deps):
nix build .#tui.npmDeps -> builds clean
nix build .#tui -> Validating consistency -> Installing dependencies
-> Finished npmConfigHook (no hash error)
The store pin changed package-lock.json, so the workspace-wide
npmDepsHash in nix/lib.nix is stale and the Nix flake check fails on
the hash mismatch. Use the hash reported by the real fetchNpmDeps
build (the flake check's `got:`), which is authoritative — it differs
from prefetch-npm-deps' lockfile-contents hash, exactly the divergence
nix/lib.nix already documents.
- Add ELECTRON_SKIP_BINARY_DOWNLOAD=1 to nix/lib.nix to prevent offline download failures.
- Manually trigger native compilation of node-pty via npm rebuild --build-from-source in buildPhase.
- Run stage-native-deps.cjs to copy the natively compiled binary into build/native-deps.
- Flatten native-deps and install-stamp.json to the root of the output derivation in installPhase, matching electron-builder's extraResources behavior so main.cjs can find it at process.resourcesPath + '/native-deps/node-pty'.
- Add doCheck=true and a strict checkPhase to fail fast if the staged native binary is missing.
Cherry-picked from #39840 by @flyinhigh and rebased cleanly on main.
- Defer config fetch in createGatewayEventHandler until gateway.ready to
avoid render-phase RPC that can mutate transcript state and trigger
React error 301 in embedded dashboard PTYs.
- Use undici WebSocket fallback when globalThis.WebSocket is unavailable
(Node attach mode and sidecar mirror sockets).
- Add regression tests for both fixes.

* fix(desktop): stop file tree throwing "two HTML5 backends" on remount
The Agent Workspace file tree (react-arborist) shows a permanent "TREE ERROR"
with `[error-boundary:file-tree] Cannot have two HTML5 backends at the same
time.` react-arborist mounts its own react-dnd DndProvider + HTML5Backend per
<Tree>. react-dnd v14 keeps that manager on a global, ref-counted singleton
context and nulls it when the count reaches 0. The tree is keyed on
`${cwd}:${collapseNonce}`, so changing folder / collapsing forces a fresh
<Tree>; during the remount the singleton can be torn down and recreated while
the previous HTML5Backend still owns `window.__isReactDndHtml5Backend`, so the
new backend's setup() throws. The error boundary then sticks, because "Try
again" just remounts into the same race.
Pass arborist a stable, app-lifetime `dndManager` (new getFileTreeDndManager
singleton) so it reuses one backend for the life of the app and never
double-claims the window flag. Drag/drop is already disabled on this tree;
this only changes how the (unused) dnd backend is provisioned.
Promotes dnd-core and react-dnd-html5-backend to explicit deps (already present
transitively via react-arborist's react-dnd 14.x line, so they dedupe to one
instance).
* fix(nix): bump npmDepsHash for desktop dnd deps
Adding dnd-core / react-dnd-html5-backend changed the workspace
package-lock.json, so the single workspace-root npmDepsHash in
nix/lib.nix was stale and the nix build failed. Regenerate it
(hash from the failing nix CI job's 'got:' value).
* fix(nix): update npmDepsHash for merged lockfile
After merging main, the workspace lockfile combined main's dep
changes with the desktop dnd additions, so the npmDepsHash needed
recomputing again. Hash from the nix lockfile-check job.
* fix(nix): use fetchNpmDeps hash for desktop dnd lockfile
prefetch-npm-deps reported sha256-lVnybH9RE/... but fetchNpmDeps
wants sha256-mYgKXE/FL4hnkrEvpVv+ULM/oeyIfO2AM9Ol8OrfWm0= for the
merged workspace lockfile. Use the nix build 'got:' hash so CI passes.

#41867 replaced mkNpmPassthru's patchPhase with
`cp $npmDeps/package-lock.json package-lock.json`, on the theory that
prefetch-npm-deps strips advisory fields (engines/os/cpu) from the cache
lockfile. That diagnosis was wrong.
prefetch-npm-deps copies the lockfile into the cache *verbatim*
(prefetch-npm-deps/src/main.rs reads it and writes it unchanged). Building the
cache fresh from the current root lockfile yields exactly the pinned
npmDepsHash, and that cache's package-lock.json is byte-identical to the source
(740 "engines" blocks on each side). With the hash correct, npmConfigHook's
consistency check passes on its own — verified by building .#tui and .#default
green with this (original) patchPhase.
So the cp was unnecessary, and worse: it bypasses the consistency check
wholesale, silently masking a genuinely stale npmDepsHash (a lockfile that
changed without its hash being refreshed) instead of failing loudly. The
original patchPhase keeps the check meaningful while still handling the one real
cosmetic difference it was written for (trailing newlines); stale-hash drift is
caught by the npmDepsHash itself plus the auto-fix workflow.
Keeps the fix-lockfiles real-build verification and the nix-lockfile-fix.yml
file-path fix from #41867 — only the patchPhase cp is reverted.
addToSystemPackages exports HERMES_HOME system-wide and puts the hermes CLI on
interactive users' PATH, so those users (in the hermes group) share the
gateway's state — that's the option's whole purpose. But the activation script
wrote config.yaml as 0640 (group read-only), so an interactive user saving a
setting via the CLI/TUI hit:
error: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/lib/hermes/.hermes/config.yaml'
Make the mode conditional: 0660 when addToSystemPackages is set (group hermes
can write), else the previous 0640. .env stays 0640 either way — it holds
secrets, not user-facing settings. The config merge already preserves
user-added keys across rebuilds, so this simply lets interactive hermes-group
users actually make those edits.
Verified by evaluating the module's activation script for both option values:
addToSystemPackages=true -> chmod 0660, false -> chmod 0640.
* fix(nix): fix-lockfiles real-build verification + point auto-fix at nix/lib.nix
Two related fixes to the npm lockfile-hash tooling that, together, let a
broken nix build slip onto main and stay there:
1. fix-lockfiles trusted prefetch-npm-deps. It computes the hash from the
lockfile *contents* and early-exited "ok" whenever that matched the pin,
never running the real fetchNpmDeps + npmConfigHook build. Those two can
disagree (the --apply path already works around it), so `--check`
reported "ok" while a cold build was actually broken (e.g. lockfile
engines/os/cpu fields the pinned nixpkgs strips from the deps cache,
tripping npmConfigHook's consistency diff). Now, when prefetch says the
hash matches, confirm with `nix build .#<attr>` before believing it:
adopt the real fetchNpmDeps hash if nix reports a 'got:' mismatch,
surface non-hash failures honestly (exit 1) instead of claiming "ok",
and keep the transient-cache-failure skip.
2. nix-lockfile-fix.yml's auto-fix-main (and the PR-fix job) whitelisted and
staged nix/tui.nix + nix/web.nix, but the single npmDepsHash moved to
nix/lib.nix. So fix-lockfiles --apply edited nix/lib.nix, the guard
flagged it as an "unexpected modified file", and the job exited without
committing — the auto-healer could never push a fix. Point the guard
regex and both `git add` lines at nix/lib.nix.
* fix(nix): fix cold npm builds — adopt the deps-cache lockfile in patchPhase
hermes-tui/hermes-agent could not be built from source on the pinned nixpkgs:
prefetch-npm-deps strips advisory lockfile fields (engines/os/cpu/funding/
bin/…) that newer npm writes into package-lock.json, then npmConfigHook
byte-compares the source lockfile against the cache's stripped copy and fails
on the difference. CI only stayed green because it substitutes the prebuilt
hermes-tui from Cachix and never cold-builds it; anyone building cold (e.g. a
local path: input, or a cache miss) hit the failure.
mkNpmPassthru's patchPhase now copies the cache's own normalized
package-lock.json over the source before npmConfigHook runs, so the
consistency check is trivially satisfied. The resolved dependency set
(version/resolved/integrity/dependencies) is identical — fetchNpmDeps derived
the cache from this very lockfile — so `npm ci` installs the same tree; only
advisory metadata is dropped. Genuine drift is still caught by the
fixed-output npmDepsHash check, which runs before this phase.
Verified by cold-building .#tui and .#default (full hermes-agent) from scratch
on the pinned nixpkgs (6201e2) — both succeed where they previously failed at
npmConfigHook.
The previous fix committed the hash from `prefetch-npm-deps`
(sha256-hgnqc...), but the actual `fetchNpmDeps` FOD (fetcherVersion 2)
that `nix flake check` builds wants sha256-cY+gM... . These two tools
disagree for this lockfile, so the build's npm-deps derivation failed
with a hash mismatch even though `fix-lockfiles --check` reported "ok".
Corrected to the build-verified value. Confirmed `nix build .#tui`,
`.#web`, and `.#desktop` all build cleanly with the new hash.
The react-router-dom 7.14->7.17 lockfile change stales the pinned
npm-deps hash in nix/lib.nix, turning the nix flake checks red. Bump
to the hash CI's prefetch diagnostic computed for the new lockfile.
* fix(packaging): ship locales/ i18n catalogs in wheel, sdist, and Nix
locales/ is a bare data dir (no __init__.py), invisible to packages.find
and package-data. Sealed installs (pip wheel, Nix store venv) dropped it,
so gateway/CLI commands rendered raw i18n keys like
gateway.reset.header_default.
- pyproject: [tool.setuptools.data-files] locales = ["locales/*.yaml"] (wheel)
- MANIFEST.in: graft locales (sdist)
- agent/i18n._locales_dir: env override -> source -> sysconfig data scheme
- nix/hermes-agent.nix: copy locales into the store + set HERMES_BUNDLED_LOCALES
as defense-in-depth. The wheel's data-files already materialize into the
uv2nix venv, so resolution works with no env var; the override pins the
store path against a future uv2nix change that could drop data-files.
- tests: metadata regression, wheel + sdist build-install smoke tests, and a
bundled-locales flake check that verifies BOTH the wrapper override and the
env-var-less data-files path. Smoke test wired into CI.
Closes#23943, #27632, #35374.
Supersedes #23966, #27716, #30261, #33841, #35429, #35494, #35735, #36697.
* test: cap locale e2e timeout, tighten catalog count guard
The two wheel/sdist e2e tests inherit the global --timeout=30 from
addopts; a cold-CI run (isolated build env + venv create + network pip
install) can plausibly exceed it. Add @pytest.mark.timeout(300) so they
don't ride the unit-test budget and flake intermittently.
Also assert the shipped catalog count equals len(SUPPORTED_LANGUAGES)
instead of a hardcoded >=16 floor, so the guard self-updates and trips
on a single dropped catalog (not just a fully-empty graft).
Lockfile regeneration invalidated the flake's pinned npm-deps hash.
Hash taken from fetchNpmDeps' authoritative 'got:' line (the
prefetch-npm-deps Diagnose helper reports a different, wrong value
due to a fetcherVersion normalization discrepancy).
Consolidate per-package package-lock.json files into a single root-level
workspace lockfile. Update all consumers:
- Nix: shared src/npmDeps/npmDepsHash in lib.nix; devshell hook stamps
package.json paths then runs npm ci from root; individual .nix files
use mkNpmPassthru attrs instead of per-package fetchNpmDeps.
- Python CLI: new _workspace_root() helper so _tui_need_npm_install,
_make_tui_argv, _build_web_ui resolve lockfile/node_modules from the
workspace root.
- Desktop: replace --force-build/mtime heuristic with content-hash build
stamp (_compute_desktop_content_hash via pathspec). Remove --force-build
flag.
- Dockerfile: single root npm install; no per-directory lockfile copies.
- CI: nix-lockfile-fix and osv-scanner reference root package-lock.json;
apps/dashboard → apps/desktop.
- Tests: new test_tui_npm_install.py; desktop stamp tests in
test_gui_command.py; updated assertions in test_cmd_update.py,
test_web_ui_build.py, test_dockerfile_pid1_reaping.py.
- Docs: remove --force-build from desktop flag table.
Deleted: apps/desktop/package-lock.json, ui-tui/package-lock.json,
ui-tui/packages/hermes-ink/package-lock.json, web/package-lock.json.
Add build-package and build-devshell as cross-platform check
derivations so nix flake check verifies the default package and
devShell build on every platform (including darwin, which previously
only did eval-only checks).
This lets us drop the separate nix build step from the CI workflow
and removes the macOS-only eval fallback — a single nix flake check
now covers builds + runtime checks on all runners.
