Canonicalising _is_backend_argv onto _hermes_holder_subcommand dropped the
'-m hermes_cli.main' entry-shape discriminator the old predicate had. That
widened _orphaned_desktop_backend_pids to tree-kill a standalone hermes.exe
serve / hermes dashboard whose console parent died. The Desktop's only spawn
shape is -m hermes_cli.main (apps/desktop/electron/main.ts), so _is_backend_argv
now forwards to _looks_like_desktop_control_plane — the same canonical-subcommand
AND entry-shape predicate — instead of a second copy. Test matrix gains a
'Desktop backend?' column with plain hermes serve / hermes.exe dashboard rows.
Two kill/relaunch predicates decided identity by argv substring, the bug class root AGENTS.md
forbids: hermes_cli/dashboard_procs.py::_is_desktop_local_serve_cmdline (`"serve" not in cmd`,
on the orphan-reap KILL path) and hermes_cli/update_cmd_windows.py::_is_backend_argv
(`" serve" in argv_low`, in the very file that defines _hermes_holder_subcommand). Both now ask
the canonical token classifier; host/port are read as flag values, not substrings.
hermes_cli/profiles.py::_check_gateway_running open-coded rungs 1/3 of
gateway.status.resolve_gateway_liveness and skipped the multiplexer rung; it is now that ladder
scoped to the profile dir (pid probe keeps cleanup_stale=False so a probe for another profile
never unlinks its PID file). The gateway/status.py ladder itself is untouched.
Behavior change: `hermes kanban --preserve-cache --host 127.0.0.1 --port 0` and
`-m dashboard serve`-style argv are no longer classified as serve backends (never killed /
relaunched as one); a named profile served by the live default multiplexer now reads as
running from _check_gateway_running (previously only via the separate
_served_by_running_multiplexer OR at some call sites).
For each issue anchor present in BASE 63279301bc non-test .py and absent on HEAD, the BASE comment/docstring block was re-attached at the HEAD location of the code it explained (matched by the distinctive code line / enclosing def). Sentences already covered by an existing HEAD comment were deduped; the issue number always survives. Insert-only: no code lines changed.
