teknium1 a2837ec088 docs(docker): overriding entrypoint: drops the zombie reaper — document init: true; trim the PID-1 warning
Follow-up to the cherry-picked #111584 (@chelsealong):

- website/docs/user-guide/docker.md: new warning block next to the existing
  "do not override the entrypoint" note explaining WHY (with `/init` gone the
  hermes process is PID 1 and nothing reaps orphaned browser/MCP/shell
  children), the Compose `init: true` / `docker run --init` remedy, and that
  supervision is still lost on that path; plus a Troubleshooting entry for
  `<defunct>` processes under PID 1.
- hermes_cli/main.py: `_warn_if_unsupervised_pid1` keeps the `os.getpid() == 1`
  check and drops the `platform.system()` gate and the blanket
  `try/except Exception: pass` — a user process is never PID 1 on any host OS
  (PID 1 is init/launchd; Windows PIDs are multiples of 4), and nothing in the
  check can raise.
- tests trimmed to two invariants (warns at pid 1 / silent otherwise).

Not done, on purpose: a `prctl(PR_SET_CHILD_SUBREAPER)` + SIGCHLD reaper in
main-wrapper/hermes. As PID 1 hermes already receives the orphans; what is
missing is a `waitpid(-1)` loop, and a process-wide one races
`subprocess.Popen` for exit statuses. The maintainer decides whether that
runtime change is wanted; docs + the startup warning cover the reported
deployment.

chelsealong 8d5cce4d94 fix(cli): warn when hermes runs unsupervised as PID 1
A deployment that overrides the image's `entrypoint:` to invoke hermes
directly skips docker/entrypoint-dispatch.sh entirely, so hermes itself
becomes PID 1 with no s6-overlay /init (or any other init) above it.
Nothing then reaps orphaned grandchildren (browser tooling, MCP
subprocesses, shell-tool children) reparented to PID 1, and they
accumulate as zombies without bound.

entrypoint-dispatch.sh already warns on its own non-PID-1 fallback
path, but that script never runs in the entrypoint-override case, so
there was no signal at all. Add the same style of warning inside
hermes_cli.main, gated on being PID 1 on Linux, pointing users at the
image's default ENTRYPOINT or `docker run --init` / `init: true`.

Fixes #111577

teknium1 469e5b6a2e fix(dashboard): --stop exits 0 when a launchd KeepAlive job respawns the backend
`hermes dashboard --stop` decided its exit code by re-scanning the process
table after the kill. On macOS a launchd KeepAlive job brings the backend
back on a fresh PID within the grace window, so the re-scan found it and
--stop exited 1 right after printing that the stop succeeded and that the job
restarts itself. Judge the exit code from the kill result instead: exit 1
only when a matched pid could not be stopped.

teknium1 da1fb702c3 fix(updater): import probe children never resolve external secret sources
The critical-module import probe (`_critical_module_import_failures`) imports
`run_agent`, whose module-level `load_hermes_dotenv()` resolves every enabled
external secret source. The main-process skip only lived in `hermes_cli.main`'s
own dotenv call (`load_external_secrets=sys.argv[1:2] != ["update"]`), so the
probe child ran op/bws/command helpers with a 120s per-source budget inside the
120s probe and a healthy install reported "critical-module probe still fails to
import after updating: timed out before reporting import health" (#110823).

Move the argv check into `_early_recovery._should_skip_external_secret_sources`,
which every dotenv load already consults, and stamp `sys.argv = ['hermes',
'update']` into the probe so its imports inherit the updater contract.
Invariant test spawns the real probe against a home whose configured helper
touches a marker: red on main, green here.

Alan 1657a1ce2d feat(cli): add --format stream-json for structured JSONL output
Adds a --format flag to hermes chat single-query mode. stream-json
emits newline-delimited JSON events (init, text, tool_use, tool_result,
result envelope with token stats + exit code) to stdout for CI
pipelines and external tooling. Session ID stays on stderr.

Salvaged from PR #12278 by @ProDrifterDK onto current main, including
the follow-up commit enforcing the single-query contract (implies
quiet, rejects --tui, emits a final result record with exit code 130
on interrupt).

teknium1 939a2f64b4 fix: long-lived processes stop minting duplicate state.db writer handles
Gateway, dashboard, ACP server and the CLI already hold one registry-shared
SessionDB per state.db path, yet several in-process call paths still opened
a bare SessionDB() beside it. Each one is a full writer: schema init, write
lock, token-writer thread and a close-time WAL checkpoint. On a dashboard
serving overlapping requests that stacked up to the "5 live SessionDB
handles" precursor within seconds; per #110544 they are now harmless to each
other's WAL generation, but the leak itself remained.

Pure readers attach read_only=True (no writer connection, no write lock):
  - plugins/hermes-achievements/dashboard/plugin_api.py::scan_sessions
    (dashboard, per background scan and per /rescan; highest-frequency site)
  - hermes_cli/console_engine.py::_session_db (dashboard console; list,
    stats and export are reads; rename/optimize opt in to a writer)
  - tools/process_registry_results.py::_owns_result (gateway, per retained
    result load)
  - hermes_cli/main.py::_session_db (last-session / title / cwd lookups)
  - hermes_cli/terminal_breadcrumbs.py, hermes_cli/status.py,
    hermes_cli/main_tui_launch.py (lookup one-shots)

Writers share the process's registry handle (hermes_state_registry.acquire;
close()/release_or_close release one refcount):
  - acp_adapter/session.py::SessionManager._get_db — the AIAgent it builds
    acquires the same path, so the ACP server held two writers per process
  - hermes_cli/kanban_db_dispatch.py::_retag_legacy_worker_sessions
    (gateway dispatcher tick)
  - hermes_cli/main.py::_create_titled_session, hermes_cli/oneshot.py,
    hermes_cli/foreign_sessions.py — the CLI acquires the same handle a
    moment later

The "N live SessionDB handles" warning now counts only writable members:
read-only attaches are the sanctioned per-request shape for dashboard
routers and CLI lookups, and counting them turned a healthy topology into
an operator alarm (#100896 field reports of restart loops keyed on it).

Live repro (one registry writer + 4 overlapping dashboard/gateway paths in
one process): before 5 writable opens, 5 live handles, warning fired;
after 1 writable open (the registry handle), 0 from the request paths,
no warning.

teknium1 2c0bec33f9 feat(model-pickers): reasoning effort selection on every model picker
The Desktop composer got a reasoning-effort pill this morning; every other place a
model is picked still left the effort to a separate command (`/reasoning`) or a
hand edit of config.yaml. `hermes model` had one effort step for Copilot only, and
its auxiliary-model menu had none at all even though every aux block already reads
`auxiliary.<task>.reasoning_effort`.

One request now carries a model pick AND its effort on every surface:

- `hermes_cli/model_switch.py`: the single `/model` parser accepts `--reasoning
  <level>` (validated against `parse_reasoning_effort`; unknown level ->
  `MODEL_SWITCH_ERR_BAD_REASONING`; Unicode-dash normalized like the other flags).
  `ModelSwitchRequest.reasoning_effort` rides with the pick.
- Classic CLI (`cli_model_switch_mixin`, `cli_tui_mixin`): `/model X --reasoning
  high` applies the effort AFTER the agent swap (`switch_model` re-resolves
  `reasoning_config` from config.yaml, so an earlier write is clobbered) with the
  pick's scope (session; config on `--global`; `--once` snapshots and restores it).
  The `/model` picker gains a third stage, "Reasoning effort for <model>", built
  from `VALID_REASONING_EFFORTS` + none + "Keep current effort"; hidden when the
  inventory capability map says the route has no reasoning control.
- TUI gateway (`tui_gateway/model_switch.py`, serves Ink TUI + Desktop):
  `config.set model "X --reasoning high"` applies after the swap; session pin
  (`create_reasoning_override`) by default, `agent.reasoning_effort` on --global,
  one-turn restore carries `reasoning_config`; re-emits `session_info` so the
  status bar shows the new effort.
- Ink TUI `ModelPicker`: step 3/3 (same rows, same capability gate) emitting
  `<model> --provider <slug> --reasoning <level> <scope>`; the new-session draft
  label strips the flag like `--provider`.
- Messaging gateway `/model`: `--reasoning` goes through the existing
  `_apply_reasoning_selection` (the `/reasoning` applier) with the pick's scope.
- `hermes model`: one shared post-pick effort step for the MAIN model (replaces
  the Copilot-only inline prompt; Copilot keeps its per-model level set via
  `github_model_reasoning_efforts`, other routes get the ladder, catalog
  `supports_reasoning=False` skips it) plus a "Reasoning effort for the current
  model..." row. The auxiliary menu's provider->model and custom-endpoint flows end
  with the same step (+ "Provider default"), stored as
  `auxiliary.<task>.reasoning_effort` / `delegation.reasoning_effort`, shown in
  the task list ("openrouter · model · high"), cleared by "Reset all to auto";
  tasks whose block omits the key by design (MoA slots, memory_query_rewrite) skip
  it.

Live (temp HERMES_HOME, stub key, no model call):
- `hermes model` -> aux -> Vision -> OpenRouter -> model: before ends at
  "Vision: openrouter · <m>", no key written; after adds "Select reasoning effort"
  and saves `reasoning_effort: high`.
- `hermes model` -> DeepSeek -> model: before no effort step; after the step
  writes `agent.reasoning_effort: xhigh`.
- tui_gateway stdio: `config.set model "... --reasoning high --session"` before
  errors "Model names cannot contain spaces"; after switches and `config.get
  reasoning` returns high; bad level -> the canonical error text.
- classic CLI `process_command`: before the same spaces error; after "Reasoning
  effort: high" under the switch summary, `--global` writes config.
- `hermes --tui` PTY: /model -> step 1/3 -> 2/3 -> 3/3 -> high; transcript
  "reasoning: high", status bar "fable 5.1 high".

teknium1 991b23ad8d refactor(sessions): one session-id minter; QQ update-prompt key from build_session_key
Nine f-string sites minted `YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS_<hex>` independently with the hex width already
drifted (6 on CLI/TUI/agent/import, 8 in the gateway store, 12 in portability imports).
hermes_cli/session_lost_and_found.py classifies schema-less salvage rows by that shape, so a
site drifting the prefix would silently change recovery. hermes_state_ids.new_session_id(now,
hex_len=) is now the only writer and owns SESSION_ID_PATTERN; stdlib-only so agent/, cli.py and
gateway/ can import it without the SessionDB graph.

Widths are kept per site on purpose: the Desktop's session-id candidate regex is pinned to 6 hex
chars for interactive ids; the gateway store and portability importer keep 8/12 (more rows per
second). Not a bug, so not "fixed".

gateway/platforms/qqbot/adapter.py hard-coded `agent:main:qqbot:<scene>:<chat>` for the
update-prompt authz key, ignoring the profile namespace build_session_key applies; a secondary
bot in a multiplexed gateway got `agent:<profile>:...` keys and its clicks were rejected. The key
now comes from the one builder via BasePlatformAdapter._source_session_key.

Behavior change: QQ update-prompt clicks are authorized under the profile-namespaced key
(byte-identical `agent:main:` for the default profile).

teknium1 b91088d768 refactor(config): one effective-user-config loader replaces 9 hand-rolled raw→overlay→expand pipelines
Every defaults-free config reader (gateway runtime, TUI gateway, cron
scheduler + job snapshot, `hermes send` env bridge, doctor memory section,
hermes_cli/main early parse, hermes_time, hermes_logging, the gateway
fallback-chain refresh) re-implemented "read config.yaml + managed overlay +
${VAR} expansion" by hand, in three different orders, and none of them
replayed the model-key canonicalization or the last-known-good recovery that
load_config() gained. An admin-pinned `${VAR}` expanded on one surface and was
bridged literally on another; `model: {name: x}` resolved to an empty model
everywhere except the gateway.

hermes_cli/config_effective.py::load_user_config_effective is the one
primitive: user file → ${VAR} → managed overlay → _normalize_root_model_keys,
no DEFAULT_CONFIG merge, sharing read_raw_config's parse cache and serving the
last good parse (in-process, then backups/config/*.good.*) on torn YAML;
`fail_closed=True` raises for the one caller that keeps its own last-good
state (the fallback-chain refresh). gateway/run.py::_load_gateway_runtime_config
is deleted — it was _load_gateway_config plus expansion, and _load_gateway_config
now expands.

Behavior change: _load_bridge_config, send_cmd._load_hermes_env and
doctor_state._doctor_memory_config expanded BEFORE the overlay; they now match
load_config (managed `${VAR}` expands against the process env only). All nine
sites gain model-key canonicalization and last-good recovery.
send_cmd._load_hermes_env now routes its .env read through
env_loader._load_dotenv_with_fallback so the credential sanitizer runs.

kshitijk4poor a32b8cd4a3 refactor(gateway): share the sudo-invoker home lookup, drop unreachable guards
`_native_service_homes()` re-implemented the root+SUDO_USER -> `pw_dir/.hermes`
resolution that `hermes_cli.main._resolve_sudo_user_profile_env` already did.
Both now call `hermes_constants.sudo_invoker_default_home()`; main.py appends
`profiles/<name>` to it.

Also removes the local `from pathlib import Path as _Path` (Path is a module
import) and narrows the except to `KeyError`: `import pwd` cannot fail once
`os.geteuid` exists, and `getpwnam(str)` raises nothing else.

Teknium 0dcadf6f41 revert: remove Collective Wisdom V1 (#94266)
Reverts the in-tree org skill-marketplace: hermes_wisdom package, three
model tools, CLI/gateway/desktop/dashboard/Telegram/Slack surfaces.

Later non-Wisdom work on shared files (guest onboarding i18n, dashboard
startup schema, Slack adapter, tui_gateway) is kept; Wisdom-only call
sites and config were stripped from those files.

  7-day evidence builder that excludes bundled/hub/managed skills and
  dismissed/handled/recently-suggested content hashes, strict pydantic
  schemas for agent output with repair-or-reject, fixed copy templates
  (Share / Teammate / Published / Update / Mute), idempotent retried
  delivery ledger with stale-action resolution, weekly review job,
  resumable Share and Install flows.
- prompts/: candidate review, recipient recommendation, share packaging.
- tests/wisdom/test_agent_led.py: 30 tests.

* wisdom: agent-led renderers and button action dispatcher

- render.py: Telegram HTML, Slack blocks, Desktop payload; editorial name
  is the emphasized line, product label stays separate.

  ledger; Not now -> dismissal, Mute -> fixed options, Share -> resumable
  packaging flow, Install/Update -> plan command. Never publishes/installs.

* wisdom: onboarding notice says detect and share, names the user's own skill

Copy review from the product owner on the first and returning
qualification notices (fixed delivery mode):
- the feature blurb now says the org enabled detection *and sharing*
- both notices say the detected skill is one the user created
- both close with an exclamation mark

Applied identically to hermes_wisdom.notice, the desktop and web i18n
strings, and the tests that assert the sentences.

* wisdom: one opener, no approval line, ask to share after the skill is shown

Product owner review of the candidate card.

- The Hermes written card now opens with the same sentence as the fixed card
  ("Your organisation has enabled Collective Wisdom, a feature designed to
  automatically detect and share useful skills across all team members.")
  instead of its own blurb, so there is one first time message.
- "Nothing is shared without your approval." removed from Telegram, Slack
  and Desktop. The buttons already make the permission explicit.
- "Would you like to share?" no longer appears before the skill is named.
  It is now the last line, after the skill name, description, why suggested
  and the checks, and reads "Would you like to share it?" (matching the
  agent led template wording).

Tests updated for the new order; proposalNotice removed from all desktop locales.

* wisdom: American spelling, organization

Product owner decision: user facing copy uses American spelling.
Changes "Your organisation" to "Your organization" in the chat notice,
the Hermes written card opener, the desktop and web strings, and the
tests that assert them. Identifiers such as nas_organisation:* and the
German and French locales are untouched.

* wisdom: candidate card copy round 4 (owner review)

Apply the product owner's round 4 copy decisions to the Hermes Collective
Wisdom candidate card on Telegram, Slack, Desktop and the shared views:

1. Hermes-written cards are titled "Hermes Collective Wisdom" instead of
   the bare "Collective Wisdom".
2. The "Reusable skill ready to review" line is gone from the candidate
   card (Telegram rich card and plain fallback, legacy agent-led share
   template).
3. The skill name and description are labelled: "Skill name: <name>" and
   "What it does: <description>" (Telegram, Slack, Desktop).
4. "Why suggested:" is now "Why others might benefit:".
5. A passing professionalism review reads "Safe to share at work ✓ (no
   inappropriate content found)" with no per-check bullets and no "Pass";
   a failed review reads "Needs a look before sharing at work (possible
   inappropriate content)" and lists only the checks that flagged
   something. Pending/unavailable wording is unchanged.
6. Telegram button toasts: "Will ask later...", "Preparing more
   details...", "Sharing...".
7. Qualification reasons: "You used this skill consistently across many
   days." and "You've really refined this skill."
8. prompts/wisdom_candidate_review.md asks for a compelling
   editorial_name, a simple one_line_description and a compelling
   why_coworkers_benefit under 300 characters; "Be concise and
   convincing." becomes "Be concise and compelling: the goal is that the
   user wants to share it."

Tests updated for the new strings; review_text() gains direct coverage.

* wisdom: re-apply owner copy after rebase

- Native share cards (advice_view/interaction_view): drop the approval line, ask "Would you like to share it?" as the last line after the checks
- Hermes-written completion card titled "Hermes Collective Wisdom"
- Qualification reasons use the owner wording (consistently across many days / really refined)
- American spelling (organization) in remaining English copy
- Desktop test asserts the current Share button; web test matches the returning notice

* fix(wisdom): pin reconciled Gateway and verify Unicode hash vectors

Pin Gateway 60cd2d6b613ae3cd4a6e65155d1142006d907e78 and byte-identical producer artifacts. Verify every content-order case and package-manifest binding. Validation: 186 focused Python tests, Ruff and contract verifier.

Siddharth Balyan 4bdd64b334 The free tier is created in one place, at boot, only behind HERMES_GUEST_ONBOARDING=1 (NS-847) (#107697)
* fix(auth): close the free tier's gaps against the gateway's welcome-tier contract

The inference gateway's welcome tier (NousResearch/api DOCS/anon-tier/plan.md) serves an
anonymous account exactly one model on its own host, refuses everything else with a structured
429, cross-refuses a request on the wrong host with a 400 (403 while the tier is dark), and
tells a signed-in account that still asks for `nous/welcome` what to switch to in an
`x-nous-model-switch` header. Four client-side gaps against that contract:

- Auxiliary calls were refused on every session. The auxiliary client asked the welcome host
  for the Portal's recommended compaction/vision model, a guaranteed 429 `model_not_free`
  before each fallback. On the welcome host it now uses `nous/welcome` (its backing model
  covers auxiliary work) and skips Nous for vision, which the welcome model does not take.

- The structured 429 body was never read. The classifier now parses `reason` /
  `retry_after` / `alternates` / `upgrade_url`: `model_not_free` and `feature_not_free` are
  non-retryable gates that fall back; `at_capacity`, `admission_closed` and `rate_limited`
  are rate limits that honour `retry_after` and never rotate the free tier's only credential.
  The wrong-host 400 and the dark-tier 403 are deterministic, so they abort this route and
  fall back instead of retrying or re-exchanging. The terminal paths say what happened and
  name the sign-in (`/login` in a chat, `hermes auth upgrade` in a terminal).

- The `x-nous-model-switch` header was ignored. The chat-completions transport records it
  beside the rate-limit and credits headers; the next call moves the session, and the config
  default when it still names `nous/welcome`, to the backing model the gateway named.

- A guest fell back to the paid host. With `inference_base_url` absent from the exchange or
  outside the host allowlist, routing defaulted to inference-api, where every request is a
  400. A guest now defaults to the welcome literal at the exchange, in the shared store's
  shape, and in effective routing.

* feat(auth): the free tier is set up on request; nous.guest_setup decides whether also on first use

A caller that names nous/welcome on a Nous route with no Nous identity in reach — the guided
setup's session (provider=nous, which skips the resolver's nothing-configured rung), the free-tier
picker row, a bare --provider nous pointed at it — is asking for the free tier. The OAuth runtime
rung now sets it up there instead of failing "not logged in", so the guided chat no longer races
the root profile's first-run mint.

nous.guest_setup is the policy seam: "auto" (default) keeps today's first-use setup wherever
nothing else is configured; "on-request" mints only when the free tier is asked for by name
(nous/welcome, /login, hermes auth upgrade, replacing a retired identity). Implicit callers —
the resolver's last rung, the first-run check, free_tier.status, the CLI's background setup, the
connector token path — still adopt what the shared store holds, so every profile follows the one
identity the guided setup created, but never create one on their own.

* feat(auth): the guided setup provisions the free tier explicitly; nous.guest_setup is auto | explicit

Two questions govern the free tier: may it exist (nous.guest) and who may CREATE the identity
(nous.guest_setup). "auto" (default) keeps today's first-use setup wherever nothing else is
configured. "explicit" means Hermes never creates one on its own: the only creator is the new
provision_free_tier() primitive, exposed as the free_tier.provision RPC, which the guided setup
on Hermes Desktop calls as its first step — on the root gateway, before the setup profile and
before the guided chat exists — so the identity lands in the root store every profile reads
through and is there before any session asks for nous/welcome. That closes the race against the
backend's own setup, and makes "only when the setup-bot flow is used" literally true.

The earlier "on-request" tier is replaced: it minted whenever any caller named nous/welcome
(the hermes model row, --provider nous), which treated a model name as intent and was broader
than the guided setup. Under "explicit" a nous/welcome request with no identity fails "not
logged in" as before the free tier existed, and /login or hermes auth upgrade report nothing to
sign in from. Implicit callers still adopt an identity the shared store holds, and a retired
credential is replaced (a continuation, not a creation).

* fix(auth): remove the nous.guest_setup knob; the free tier is created on first use

`nous.guest_setup: auto | explicit` decided who may CREATE the free-tier identity. Under its
default every line it added was inert (`may_mint` always true), nothing in tree set `explicit`,
unknown values read as `auto`, and under `explicit` a CLI-only install could never get an
identity, which contradicts the first-run contract (first command mints, then chats).

The mint race the knob accompanied is already benign: every caller takes the profile lock then
the shared-store lock, and the loser adopts what the winner wrote. What makes the guided setup
win deterministically is `provision_free_tier()` behind the `free_tier.provision` RPC, which
stays. `nous.guest` remains the only free-tier policy.

Removed: `guest_setup_policy()` and its constants, the `explicit=` / `may_mint=` threading through
`ensure_portal_identity` and `_reconcile_and_provision`, the flag at the three replacement call
sites (now no-ops), the config default, the docs section, and the four `guest_setup` test-config
entries. The three policy tests that hold regardless of the knob are kept under
`TestExplicitProvision`; the two that only tested the knob are deleted.

* fix(gateway): a server-driven model switch off nous/welcome does not evict the cached agent

When a signed-in account still asks the paid host for `nous/welcome`, the inference gateway
serves the current backing model and names it in `x-nous-model-switch`. `apply_model_switch`
moves the live session to that model and moves `config.yaml`'s default off the alias in the
same step. The messaging gateway's fallback-eviction check compares the agent's model with the
config default and evicts on any mismatch that is not a /model override, so when the config
write did not land (unreadable config, lock) the cached agent was evicted once per turn, and
prompt caching with it.

`apply_model_switch` now stamps the alias it moved the session off on the agent, and
`_is_intentional_model_switch` treats "agent moved off the alias the config still carries" as
deliberate, beside the existing /model override case. The check takes the agent and the config
model instead of a bare model string; its one caller in `_run_agent_evict_on_fallback` passes them.

* fix(auth): the free tier outranks implicit host credentials in provider resolution

On a fresh install with a leftover ~/.aws profile, resolve_provider("auto")
reached the Bedrock rung before the free-tier rung, so the first turn ran on
Bedrock and failed 403 while the free tier was still being minted in the
background at agent setup (NS-829). Live on a Mac with ~/.aws present: 28 s,
three retries, no answer; the next process then switched to nous/welcome.

The free-tier rung now sits directly above the Bedrock chain: when nous.guest
is on, an existing free-tier identity answers, else a blocking mint runs, and
only then does the boto chain get a say. Everything above is unchanged and
still wins: CLI creds, config.yaml model.provider, env keys, the OpenRouter
pool, a logged-in active_provider. nous.guest: false skips the rung, and a
failed mint still falls through to Bedrock and the no-provider guidance.

Tests: six precedence cases (identity present, fresh mint, free tier off, env
key still wins, sign-in still wins, failed mint falls through). The opt-out
test now neutralizes the AWS chain like the precedence tests do; on a machine
with ~/.aws it was failing for the same reason as the bug.

Live after the fix, same Mac, AWS credentials visible, isolated shared store:
identity minted 2 s in, turn on model=nous/welcome provider=nous, answer in
11 s.

* fix(auth): review follow-ups for the free-tier rung (NS-829)

- tests/agent/test_bedrock_integration.py: the Bedrock auto-detect test switches
  the free tier off; its contract is the boto chain, and the free tier now
  sits above it.
- gateway/run_notifications.py: the free-tier startup line reads auth.json
  before consulting the resolver, so a gateway boot on a machine with AWS
  credentials never mints or refreshes over the network.
- hermes_cli/anon_auth.py: module docstring says where the free tier sits in
  the ladder instead of "the ladder is untouched".
- tests/hermes_cli/test_provider_precedence.py: two invariant tests instead of
  six (parametrized ladder cases; a failed mint that returns None or raises
  falls through to Bedrock).

scripts/run_tests.sh on the five affected files: 147 passed, 0 failed.

* feat(auth): HERMES_GUEST_ONBOARDING=1 is the one launch gate for the free tier; HERMES_FORCE_GUEST is gone

The free tier is pre-GA. Until GA it must not exist for anyone who did not
ask for it: no identity minted, no portal traffic, no free-tier copy on any
surface. One environment variable now decides that, and one function reads it.

`guest_enabled()` returns False unless `HERMES_GUEST_ONBOARDING` is exactly
"1"; only then does `nous.guest` (the user's off switch) get consulted. Every
free-tier site already funnels through `guest_enabled()`, so the gate closes
minting, routing, connector entitlement, status lines and the picker row in
one place. With the variable unset, `resolve_provider("auto")` on a fresh
install raises `no_provider_configured` exactly as upstream does.

`HERMES_FORCE_GUEST` and `force_guest_mode()` are removed. They inverted the
gate (forced the tier ON over `nous.guest: false`), their "new" value re-minted
identities as a side effect of provider resolution, and `_has_any_provider_
configured` read them ahead of every other check, making the CLI a second
reader of a flag that must have exactly one. `_forced_new_done` and the
`force` parameter of `_reconcile_and_provision` go with them.

Supersedes the dev lever introduced in fcf9d11679 (rung 1) and hardened in
b5c162c3ec. Ruling: NS-845 Q1.1 (recorded on NS-847).

Not a user preference: the variable is never written to config.yaml or .env
and never shown in setup. It is deleted at GA together with its comment in
anon_auth.py. This is a deliberate, temporary exception to the "no new
HERMES_* env vars for non-secret config" rule.

Tests: fixtures set the gate instead of deleting the old lever; one new
invariant (`test_launch_gate_off_means_no_free_tier_at_all`) proves that "",
"0", "true" and "new" all leave the tier off with zero portal calls, red on the
previous commit. The `HERMES_FORCE_GUEST=new` re-mint test is deleted with the
feature.

* feat(auth): the free-tier identity is created in one place, at boot; every other site is a read

Before this commit eight sites could create a Nous free-tier identity as a
side effect of something else: resolving a provider, the CLI's first-run
check, the CLI's session setup (in the background beside an own key), a
connector bearer read, the desktop polling `free_tier.status`, the sign-in
precondition, the desktop's `free_tier.provision`, and the dead-credential
re-mint. A poll could mint. Provider resolution could hit the network. Two
of them raced each other on a fresh install.

Now `hermes_cli/free_tier_bootstrap.py::run_bootstrap` is the only creator.
`hermes serve` runs it on a daemon thread from `_lifespan` beside the other
background boots; `cmd_chat` runs it synchronously before the first-run
guard. It inventories credentials first (`resolve_provider("auto",
skip_free_tier=True)`: what would carry inference if the free tier did not
exist), creates the identity only when `guest_enabled()`, resolves inference,
records a `SetupRecord` in process memory and broadcasts ONE `setup.ready`
event. It runs on every boot; only the mint is gated.

`ensure_portal_identity` now requires `explicit=True` and raises otherwise.
Its callers are the bootstrap, the desktop's `free_tier.provision` (the
explicit retry when the boot could not create the identity) and the two
dead-credential replacements (`auth_nous.resolve_nous_runtime_credentials`,
`managed_tool_gateway._replace_dead_guest_token`). The background thread
path and `provision_free_tier` are deleted with their last callers.

Reads that used to mint and now only read: `auth.py::resolve_provider`
rung 7 (an existing identity still outranks the Bedrock chain, NS-829
ordering kept), `main.py::_has_any_provider_configured`,
`cli_agent_setup_mixin._ensure_runtime_credentials`,
`managed_tool_gateway.read_nous_access_token` (no identity -> None),
`anon_sign_in.run_sign_in` (no identity -> Unavailable),
`methods_free_tier` `free_tier.status`.

`setup.status` answers from the record for the launch profile, blocking up
to 8 s while the bootstrap is in flight so a client's first poll lands after
the identity exists rather than racing it; a named profile, or a process
that never ran the bootstrap, keeps today's live probe. The record's fields
ride along additively (`ready`, `free_tier`, `other_providers`,
`inference_provider`).

Identity and inference are decoupled (NS-845 Q1.3): the mint sets
`active_provider="nous"` only when the inventory found nothing else usable
(`_mint_locked(carries_inference=)`); an adopted account always does. A token
refresh no longer re-elects the provider it refreshed
(`_save_provider_state_to_source` writes credentials, not the user's
choice) — that write was how an own-key install ended up on the free tier
after the first connector call.

Supersedes the mint sites in fcf9d11679, a42d0748fc (first-run check),
bbbaa8935a (CLI background setup), 0179efc989 (`free_tier.status` mint),
62ad1ff3ab / c63d2c935c / d8a50526d9 (the `nous.guest_setup` knob and
`provision_free_tier`), and a04b05260c (blocking mint in the resolver).
Ruling: NS-845 Q1.2 + Q1.3, recorded on NS-847.

Tests: `TestBootstrapIsTheOneCreator` (one mint per process; own key keeps
inference; reads never reach the portal; a refused mint is memoised),
`free_tier.status` fails loudly if it ever calls the creator, the resolver
stub fails loudly if resolution ever mints, `setup.status` reads the record,
`skip_free_tier` proves the inventory question. The three sign-in tests for
the deleted pre-mint collapse into one (`no identity -> Unavailable, zero
portal calls`). Live: real `_lifespan` boot with a fake portal, gate on and
off (/tmp/ns847-recon/evidence/e2e-rung5-c2-serve-boot.txt), and the CLI
matrix incl. an own-key cell (e2e-rung5-c2-bootstrap.txt), 20/20.

* fix(credits): the welcome host is free-tier evidence, so a free-tier identity never sees "run /topup"

A free-tier identity carries $0 by design, so the portal seed reports
`paid_access=False` for it. `is_free_tier_model` did not know the welcome
host, read that as a depleted account, and every free-tier turn ended with
the credits-depleted notice telling the user to top up an account they do
not have.

Rule (4) in `is_free_tier_model`: a `base_url` on the Nous welcome host
(`anon_auth.route_is_welcome_host`) is the free tier. The host is the
evidence, not the model name: the paid inference host can serve
`nous/welcome` to a named account and that account's depletion is real, so
`("nous/welcome", <inference host>)` stays False. Local data only, like the
three rules above it.

Restores the two contracts dropped by hermes-magic 674e11d1eaa (the
prototype line ran without unit tests): the welcome host is free without
any pricing evidence; the model name alone is not. The first is red without
this fix.

* fix(copy): free-tier text stops promising a connector transfer and never names the config key

Sign-in copy on every surface said "Sign in to keep your connectors" and
ended with "Your connectors are kept." The transfer registry that would
make that true is empty (NS-821): nothing carries over today. The copy now
says what signing in does give ("unlock more models and tools") and the
completion line names the account, not a transfer. The docs page loses the
"connectors carry over" paragraph for the same reason.

The picker's off-state line exposed `nous.guest: false` and the word
"guest"; user copy names the free tier only (R-USR-1).

The docs page gains the pre-rollout note: until GA nothing on it happens
without `HERMES_GUEST_ONBOARDING=1`. Its "first command mints" and
"replaced on next use" sentences now describe the boot bootstrap.

zh is a strict locale: the `freeTier` block was English placeholder text
copied from `en`; it is now Chinese. `connectorsKept` is renamed
`completedBody` since it no longer talks about connectors.

* feat(desktop): the free-tier launch flag is decided once in Electron and stamped onto every backend spawn

The Python backend reads `HERMES_GUEST_ONBOARDING` and treats exactly "1"
as on. Until now nothing in the desktop set it, so a packaged app could
never turn the free tier on, and a backend spawned by the app could
disagree with the app about whether the tier was live.

`electron/guest-onboarding.ts` owns the decision: `guestOnboardingEnabled`
is true when the launch env has `HERMES_GUEST_ONBOARDING=1` or argv has
`--guest-onboarding` (the packaged-app spelling). It is read ONCE at launch
into a module constant. `desktopBackendSpawnEnv` wraps every backend env
as the outermost call and writes the flag LAST, as "1" or an explicit "0",
so no earlier spread (`process.env`, `backend.env`) can resurrect a stray
value from the parent shell.

Stamped onto all three spawn sites: the primary `serve` spawn, the pooled
per-profile spawn, and the remote SSH `exec env ...` command (which gains
` HERMES_GUEST_ONBOARDING=1` only when on). The embedded terminal PTY and
the backend probes are not backend spawns and do not get it: a
`hermes --tui` typed in the pane must not mint.

The renderer learns the same fact read-only through the existing
`hermes:launch-flags` sync IPC (`guestOnboarding`) and preload
(`window.hermesDesktop.guestOnboardingEnabled`).

Ruling: NS-845 Q1.1 / Q2 (env var is the contract, `--guest-onboarding`
maps to it in main). Two invariant tests on the pure helpers: only "1" or
the argv flag enables; the spawn env carries "1"/"0" as the last word and
preserves every other key.

* feat(desktop): the renderer learns free-tier readiness from one `setup.ready` push, not a 60 s poll

The backend's boot bootstrap now announces `setup.ready` once, after it has
created (or refused) the free-tier identity and resolved the inference
route. The renderer used to discover both by polling `setup.status`,
`setup.runtime_check` and `free_tier.status` every 60 s from
`useStatusSnapshot`; a fresh install's chip, notice strip and onboarding
overlay could sit stale for up to a minute after boot, and three RPCs a
minute per window kept asking a question whose answer changes only at
boundaries the backend already announces.

`handleLifecycleEvent` routes `setup.ready` (active source only, like
`skin.changed`) to `notifySetupReady()`, a one-shot tick atom in
`live-sync.ts` beside the other change ticks. `useStatusSnapshot` listens
to it and runs one readiness round at once (`setup.status` +
`setup.runtime_check` + `free_tier.status`). The readiness legs also run
once on open and on return from another app, as today. The 60 s tick keeps
only `getStatus()`.

`SetupStatusSnapshot` types the record's additive fields (`ready`,
`free_tier`, `other_providers`, `inference_provider`); readiness semantics
are unchanged and still key on `provider_configured` + `runtime_check`.

Ruling: NS-845 Q1.2 (renderer half). Tests: the lifecycle branch fires one
refresh from the active source and none from another; the snapshot hook's
contract is three legs on open, one leg on the tick.

* fix(cli): the banner names the free tier's model instead of "no model configured"

The welcome banner prints before credentials resolve, so on a fresh install
`model` is empty and the banner said, in red, "no model configured — run
/model or hermes setup". Under the free tier that is false: the route is
already known from local state (identity on disk, tier on), and the first
message will run on `nous/welcome`.

`_banner_left_lines` now asks the route the same question when `model` is
empty (`guest_carries_inference()`, a local read) and shows `welcome · Nous
Research`. When nothing resolves the red line stays. Ruling: NS-845 ("the
banner's 'no model configured' line reads the resolved route").

Live: fresh HERMES_HOME + fake portal, gate on -> `welcome · Nous Research`;
gate off -> the red line, zero portal calls.

* fix(aux): vision on the free tier uses nous/welcome too

The text-only modality on the gateway's `nous/welcome` row is DeepSeek V4 Flash's, the
backing model until the repoint; `z-ai/glm-5.3-flash` is natively multimodal and the
repoint declares the welcome row `text+image->text`. Skipping Nous for vision on the
welcome host would have sent every image step past the free tier for no reason, so the
auxiliary client pins the route's one model for every lane. A backing model that takes
no images answers with the upstream's own error, which the ladder handles as it always has.

* fix(gateway): hermes gateway run is a boot owner of the free tier too

Rung 5 made every demand-time free-tier site a read: resolve_provider,
the connector token, the /login precondition. That is only correct if
every process that can reach those sites ran the bootstrap first. The
CLI (cmd_chat) and hermes serve (_lifespan) did; the standalone
messaging gateway did not. A fresh HERMES_HOME with the gate on and
`hermes gateway run` reached provider resolution with no identity to
consume, and /login returned Unavailable. Reported by @andrexibiza on
#107697 (P1).

GatewayRunner.start now runs `free_tier_bootstrap.run_bootstrap` on an
executor thread right after startup recovery and BEFORE any adapter
connects, so a fast first DM cannot arrive with nothing to resolve. It
is its own step, not part of the turn-machinery warm-up: the warm-up is
an optimisation with an off switch (HERMES_STARTUP_WARMUP_TIMEOUT<=0);
the bootstrap is correctness and must always run. With the gate unset it
is a local inventory and no network.

Live, real GatewayRunner.start against a fake portal in a fresh home:
  gate on   -> 1 create, identity persisted, resolve_runtime_provider=nous,
               /login precondition sees the identity
  gate off  -> 0 portal calls, no identity, no_provider_configured
Before the fix the gate-on row was identical to the gate-off row.

Test: the bootstrap seam runs before _start_prefilter_platforms and
delegates to the one creator. Red on 5554eb6993 (no seam), green here.

Siddharth Balyan a2db110ccc feat(auth): Nous free tier: free inference and connectors out of the box, one command to sign in (#105258)
* feat(auth): Nous free tier core: anonymous identity minted on first use, welcome inference, shared-store scoping

A fresh install with no provider sets up a free Nous identity (anonymous auth method of the nous
provider) instead of forcing the setup wizard. The identity is persisted through the same path a
real login uses, so the resolver ladder is unchanged. Two seams differ: token acquisition
re-exchanges the anon credential (no refresh token), and routing pins the welcome host's single
model nous/welcome. One identity per shared store; nous.guest: false turns the free tier off.

* test(auth): free tier core contracts: lifecycle, resolver precedence, exchange seam, model pin

* docs(user-guide): free tier and signing in

New page explaining what a fresh install gets before any key or sign-in
(free inference on nous/welcome plus connectors), how the free tier
coexists with a user's own API key, how to sign in with hermes auth
upgrade and keep connectors, how to turn the free tier off with
nous.guest, what hermes logout does in each state, a troubleshooting
table, and a plain privacy note. Wired into the Using Hermes sidebar.

* fix(auth): logout leaves the free tier alone and clears the shared store for a real Nous account

Logging out of the free tier is a no-op: it is not a login, so nothing is cleared and the user
is told they were never signed in. Logging out of a real Nous account now also clears the
cross-profile store, so a profile logout is not silently re-adopted on the next boot.

* fix(model): switching off the free tier points at signing in, never hops providers

* Name the free tier in the gateway startup notice and tell explicit-provider installs about it once

* Render the Nous free tier as free tier on auth status, auth list, hermes status and portal info, short-circuit billing copy for it, and skip the keepalive when there is no refresh token

* fix(auth): free tier is set up where nothing is configured: resolver last rung and first-run check

Both the provider resolver's terminal rung and the CLI first-run check now try to set up the free
tier before declaring nothing configured. On a fresh install the first command lands in chat on
nous/welcome; a failed setup still falls through to the existing guidance.

* Add hermes auth upgrade: sign the free tier into a Nous account while keeping its connectors

The device-code flow runs as usual, with a promotion intent registered on the portal between the
code request and the token poll so the account that approves the code inherits the free tier's
connectors. The promotion status decides the outcome: only a completed one is followed by the
token grant, which is persisted over the free-tier singleton and the shared store. Declined,
superseded, retired and busy outcomes each print their own plain copy, and a retired identity is
cleared so the next use sets up a fresh one. User-facing text never names the free tier's internals.

* Show the Nous free tier as one picker row with nous/welcome and hide it when nous.guest is off

* fix(auth): upgrade opens the consent page for this sign-in; one mint attempt per process; forced free tier wins the first-run check

The browser leg of hermes auth upgrade now prints and opens the promotion claim URL with the
claim code, not the generic device page. A failed mint is attempted once per process so several
bootstrap sites cannot hit a closed gate or a 429 twice; a retired credential resets that so
re-minting still happens. HERMES_FORCE_GUEST is honoured ahead of the first-run provider check.

* fix(auth): pin the welcome model on the selected route, not on profile state; background setup retries after a failure

A credential-pool entry can select a paid Nous key while the profile singleton is still the free
tier. The model pin now keys on the resolved endpoint (welcome host) in agent init and /model, and
the pin in model normalization is removed since it had no route to look at. A failed background
identity setup releases its latch so a later attempt in the same process can try again.

* fix(auth): decide the Nous model together with the route on every credential-pool swap

The credential pool can move a Nous agent between the welcome host and the portal host after
init. One helper, pin_model_for_route, now runs at init and inside every pool swap, so the
welcome host always carries nous/welcome and a paid endpoint always keeps the caller's model.

* fix(auth): apply the route model policy on every wire mode during a pool swap; release the setup latch if the thread cannot start

* fix(auth): free-tier lifecycle takes profile then shared lock, reconciles with the shared store, persists the mint before exchanging, and clears only the identity that died

The shared store is the identity of record for a Hermes root: a profile holding a stale free-tier
identity adopts a sibling's newer sign-in instead of keeping the guest, and never overwrites the
shared account. Locks are taken in the documented order (profile, then shared). A minted credential
is stored as soon as create succeeds, so a rate-limited or timed-out exchange does not lose it and
trigger a second mint. Retiring a dead credential removes only that credential from both stores.
Guest exchange uses the resolver's canonical portal URL.

* fix(auth): a credential rotation never rewrites the conversation model; connectors honour the off switch and replace a retired free-tier credential

The welcome host serves one model, so a rotation onto it is refused for any conversation on another
model instead of silently switching that conversation to nous/welcome (the model pin applies only
when a route is first chosen). The connector token path now treats the free tier as absent when
nous.guest is false, including cached tokens, and shares the one dead-credential rule with
inference: a retired identity is replaced once rather than returning its stale token.

* fix(auth): plain login never imports the free tier as OAuth credentials; the gateway startup line reads persisted state only

A free-tier identity in the shared store is not an OAuth credential to offer for import; a real
sign-in replaces it. The gateway's startup notice now answers provider precedence from persisted
state (no token refresh at boot), so an expired free-tier token cannot stall the online message.

Teknium cde0ad0edd feat: agent signs into sites from an encrypted local vault (CLI, browser fill, Desktop Settings)
Consolidated re-apply of #96988 onto current main. Ported from
Merit-Systems/OpenInstinct (MIT) opaque-handle autofill design: the model
sees vault handles + login metadata, the password is resolved and filled
server-side over the supervised CDP socket, and filled values are scrubbed
from every browser tool result by an unconditional redaction registry.

Rebase adaptations to the Sep-2026 facade/sibling layout:
- toolsets: one _HERMES_CORE_TOOLS entry (the browser toolset derives from it)
- hermes_cli/main.py: vault parser registered via the subcommand owner table
- file_safety: vault/ joins the _READ_DENIED_DIRS credential-dir table
- redact: registry scrub runs before the redact_secrets early-return
- browser_vault_tool: _run_browser_command now lives in browser_tool_session

Totoro-qaq 5d6d5fb223 fix(cli): refresh TERMINAL_CWD when --in re-homes the session
`--in DIR` only chdir'd. Every cwd consumer (resolve_agent_cwd -> Codex
app-server thread cwd, the terminal tool, context-file discovery) prefers
TERMINAL_CWD over the process cwd, so a value inherited from a parent
Hermes surface, the shell or .env survived the chdir and the session kept
running in the old directory. The local backend was rescued by cli.py's
force-export at import time; docker/ssh backends and the TUI launch path,
which never imports cli.py, were not.

Refresh TERMINAL_CWD to the --in target when it is already set. An unset
variable stays unset so the backends keep deriving from the new process
cwd and no host path is pre-seeded into ssh/container backends.

Fixes #106220

Teknium 677e8ed8a4 fix(desktop): SSH remote backend stops following the host's sticky active_profile
A Desktop-owned `hermes serve --isolated --ssh-session-token-file ...` child
is spawned with an explicit `--profile <name>` when the connection names a
remote profile, and with no flag for the remote root home. Without the flag,
`_apply_profile_override` read the remote host's sticky `active_profile`
file and re-homed the backend into whatever profile the user last selected
on that machine's CLI. Settings then read one config.yaml while the remote
gateway wrote another, so model picks and toggles "didn't stick".

Treat the SSH token flag as a fixed-identity marker, the same way
supervisor-launched gateway children are (#74872): a Desktop backend's
profile is chosen by the client, never by the host.

Live repro (before/after, temp HERMES_HOME with active_profile=foo):
  serve --isolated --ssh-session-token-file ...   hermes_home=<root>/profiles/foo -> <root>
  same + --profile foo                             hermes_home=<root>/profiles/foo (unchanged)
  serve (no token file, user CLI)                  hermes_home=<root>/profiles/foo (unchanged)

kshitijk4poor 32273b8118 refactor(cli): one stored_session_route for interactive and one-shot resume
_apply_stored_session_runtime was a line-for-line copy of the first half of
_restore_session_model (stored-model guard, session_gateway_runtime, bare-custom heal,
model/provider-changed check). Extract that pure decision into
cli_model_switch_mixin.stored_session_route and have both resume paths call it; the
one-shot keeps only the _ModelChoice mapping and the drop-ambient-key rule.

main.py stops re-normalising `resume` — _resolve_chat_session_args already did.
Tests trimmed from 20 to 13: near-duplicate unit tests of the private helpers go, the
end-to-end _run_agent contracts (stored runtime + reopen; explicit --model wins) and the
empty-session-keeps-id case stay.

liuhao1024 86d606ca34 fix(cli): honor --resume in one-shot mode (#105892)
The -z exit path accepted --resume/-c in the parser but never forwarded
args.resume: every resumed one-shot turn silently started a fresh session,
so each wire request carried only [system, current user] and the model
lost all prior context (reported against Ollama/custom OpenAI-compatible
endpoints, but provider-independent).

Normalize session args (latest/title/--continue/--in + cwd restore) via
the chat path's _resolve_chat_session_args before the oneshot exit path
takes over, then load the resumed transcript in _run_agent through the
same contract the interactive CLI uses (compression-chain redirect,
safe-resume guard, session_meta filtering) and continue the existing
session id instead of creating a new one. An explicit --resume of an
unknown session now fails loudly instead of starting fresh.

Teknium 39ed610f8c feat(cron): create paused jobs without a scheduling race
Persist paused state, timestamp, reason and no first trigger in the original
locked creation write. Forward the same boolean contract across CLI, tool,
gateway API and dashboard API, validating at the store boundary. Preserve
explicit operator force-run behavior and normal enabled creation.

The live CLI probe also caught the command shim dropping failure return codes;
forward them so invalid creation reports exit 1 rather than success.

Credit earlier atomic-creation work in #78935 and #94952 and the focused
implementation in #104578. The broader manifest staging layer is not imported.

Teknium d63e380324 compat(plugins): warn once per name when a plugin resolves an old import path; lint step restored in CI
Every PLUGIN-COMPAT __getattr__ now calls hermes_cli.plugin_compat.warn_once(facade, name, target) before
resolving, emitting a HermesPluginCompatWarning (FutureWarning) once per process per name: old path, new
path, removal target. Importing a facade for its live API stays silent; only resolving a moved name warns.
COMPAT_MANIFEST.md documents the warning and how to silence it during migration.

Verified the runtime never routes through a pointer: every entry point (run_agent, cli, hermes_cli.main,
gateway.run, tui_gateway.server, web_server, model_tools + tool discovery, hermes_state, cron.scheduler,
browser_tool, mcp_tool, kanban, auth) imports clean and `hermes doctor` runs end to end with the warning
promoted to an error.

Also restores the check_compat_pointers CI step to .github/workflows/lint.yml, which a0be177aac dropped
when the compat layer was regenerated (the lint script itself was present; the workflow step was not).

hermes_cli/plugin_compat.py, tests/test_plugin_compat_warning.py and the two-line insert per facade are
part of the compat layer and go away with it.

Teknium 2776813df3 compat(plugins): temporary import-path shims for external plugins — ONE commit, revert on schedule
The Sep 2026 decomposition (PR #102117) makes internal import paths a non-API: names now live in
the focused modules that define them. This commit is the ONLY thing keeping the old paths alive,
so external plugins have time to update. It is deliberately a single, unsquashed commit:

    git revert <this sha>

removes every shim, stub and manifest at once on the announced date. Nothing in-tree may depend on
these pointers: scripts/check_compat_pointers.py (wired into lint.yml) fails CI if it does.

What it adds (see COMPAT_MANIFEST.md, compat_manifest.json):
- 332 facade modules get one delimited `PLUGIN-COMPAT` block appended at the end of the file
- 1,172 moved names resolved lazily via a module `__getattr__` (PEP 562) — never a top-level import,
  so no import cycles; facades that already had `__getattr__` get a chained one
- 592 third-party/stdlib names the old modules used to expose, with their original import statements
- 266 public definitions that had been deleted as unused, restored byte-for-byte from the pre-decomposition
  tree (+40 private helpers and 16 imports pulled in only because a restored definition needs them)
- 3 deleted modules recreated as re-export stubs (gateway/startup_watchdog, hermes_cli/observability/
  relay_runtime, tools/environments/modal_utils)
- private names (`_x`) get no pointer: they were never API (3,792 skipped)

Verified: all 335 touched modules import under a fresh HERMES_HOME and every manifest name resolves;
the lint reports zero in-tree uses; ruff clean; targeted suites unchanged.

ethernet 283c4f058c fix(packaging): derive root py-modules from the tree in setup.py
The static py-modules list in pyproject.toml drifted from the source
tree each time the root layout changed. An installed wheel then
raised ModuleNotFoundError on import: hermes_state_common, and every
gateway or CLI start failed. The list missed hermes_state_holders,
mini_swe_runner, and the 15 new hermes_state_* modules from this
branch.

setup.py now derives py_modules from the source tree at build time.
setuptools package discovery sees only directories with an
__init__.py, so root single-file modules need py_modules in every
wheel build. setup() kwargs merge with pyproject.toml, and setup.py
is the only legitimate wheel or sdist builder, so the derived list is
the single source of truth.

The nix build is the only wheel consumer. Its source filter keeps
every root .py file, so the build sandbox derives the same set as the
checkout. Editable installs do not read py_modules: build_editable
never runs bdist_wheel.

Verified: wheel and sdist built with HERMES_NIX_BUILD=1 carry all 38
root modules. The guard still blocks builds without the nix env var.
The sealed uv2nix venv from nix build .#default imports
hermes_state_holders, hermes_state_sessions, mini_swe_runner, and
hermes_startup_watchdog.

(cherry picked from commit e23d467b523d50ad088b89b578017996709589cf)

Invariant test updated to pin the derived list (no static py-modules; every root module packaged code imports ships).
