Under gateway.multiplex_profiles a secondary profile X is ticked, dispatched
and notified from the default profile's process, where os.environ holds the
DEFAULT profile's .env and X's values live only in the per-turn secret scope /
HERMES_HOME override. Every remaining read that skipped that scope made X
behave differently from `hermes -p X gateway run`:
- cron: HERMES_CRON_TIMEOUT, HERMES_MODEL (job/preflight fallback),
HERMES_CRON_MAX_PARALLEL, inflight allowance, prefill file and the script
timeout were bare os.getenv → the default profile's values; a job without a
model silently ran on the default's HERMES_MODEL instead of refusing.
cron/env_settings.py::cron_env_setting reads the scope (fire) or the ticked
home's .env (tick thread), plain environ when multiplexing is off.
- child env: the restart-safe cron worker, the Bot Chat delivery child and the
kanban worker inherited the launch profile's non-credential .env settings
and bridged TERMINAL_* policy (TERMINAL_ENV=docker, default's image,
HERMES_MODEL) — X's worker ran in the default's docker image on the
default's model. tools/environments/local.py::strip_launch_profile_env drops
them when the child targets another served profile.
- kanban: the worker --toolsets pin was silently dropped for every served
assignee (toolset probes call get_secret without a scope → swallowed
UnscopedSecretError); notifier pings, artifact uploads and the wake text ran
under the default's media policy / display language (only wake() was scoped).
- /loop: _post_turn_loop_completion hopped to the executor without contextvars,
writing the completed tick into the DEFAULT profile's state.db and leaving
X's row awaiting_response forever; the --until judge ran with the default's
aux credentials.
- background processes: a secondary's processes.json (scope-relative since
adf23550f5) was never read at startup; its processes were not re-adopted
and notify_on_complete notices were lost. Startup recovers every served
home under its scope; recovery adopts each session once.
- completion delivery: background_process_notifications was evaluated once per
drain for the ambient profile (default's mode for everyone; X's `off`
dropped a sibling's `all` event), recovered watchers used the default's
mode, HERMES_BACKGROUND_NOTIFICATIONS was read raw from environ;
_deliver_platform_notice used the default's GatewayConfig so a secondary's
notice_delivery: private went public.
Not changed: gateway/run.py and tools/async_delegation.py (PR #106742
rewrites both). Known residue left for the env-bridge lane:
HERMES_SESSION_STALL_TIMEOUT is bridged once from the launch config.
scheduler bug, not a parity gap; unchanged here.
Opt in only Local, Docker, SSH and Singularity: a timed-out `sudo -n true`
probe on those backends kills one process, while SDK adapters (Modal,
Daytona, Vercel) cancel by terminating the whole sandbox.
Net of the original PR's commits f7db10ef + 9965b1b9 (the intermediate
_ThreadedProcessHandle special-case was superseded by this gate).
Carry the existing write fence across Hermes-owned spawn boundaries without
dropping board routing or changing credential policy. Grant dispatcher and
managed tool runtimes explicit task scope; align CLI task mutations with tools.
Verify real shell/CLI descendants, dispatcher startup, and supervised stdio
transport against isolated SQLite boards. This is cooperative runtime scoping,
not OS confinement.

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.
Repo scanners (check_subprocess_stdin, check-windows-footguns --all) flagged 21 sites where
the r3 single-line collapses lost stdin=DEVNULL, encoding='utf-8'/errors='replace', the
'# windows-footgun: ok' same-line marker, or the getattr(os, 'geteuid') gate. Each guard is
restored at the call site (real portability/hang fixes, not suppressions).
Compose the two salvaged approaches (#78065 + #78511):
- Keep #78065's terminal-only scrub-path exemption (first-party prefix
predicate in _make_run_env / _sanitize_subprocess_env, plain env values
never scope-resolved, snapshot exclusion for cross-profile isolation,
every non-terminal surface sealed).
- Fold #78511's BUZZ_MANAGED_AGENT signal into a context gate instead of
an import-time blocklist discard: the blocklist is shared by every
scrub surface, so discarding there would leak BUZZ_PRIVATE_KEY into
execute_code / hermes_subprocess_env children too.
- New gate _buzz_terminal_context_active(): BUZZ_MANAGED_AGENT in the
process env (Buzz Desktop buzz-acp harness, #76243) OR the live
session's platform is buzz (HERMES_SESSION_PLATFORM ContextVar,
concurrency-safe under a multi-session gateway). A Telegram/CLI/cron
session on a host that also runs a Buzz gateway does NOT get the
signing key in its terminal children (maintainer triage note on
#76243: don't expose the key to unrelated shell commands).
- Snapshot exclusion stays prefix-only (conservative even when the gate
is inactive).
- Tests updated for the gate + new negative test (non-Buzz session
strips) and positive test (buzz session platform enables carve-out);
docs updated accordingly.
Closes#78026, closes#76243.
The bundled buzz platform plugin registers BUZZ_PRIVATE_KEY / BUZZ_RELAY_URL /
BUZZ_AUTH_TAG as messaging credentials, so the terminal env blocklist strips
them unconditionally. But when Hermes runs as a Buzz-ACP managed agent, the
buzz-acp harness hands exactly those vars to the agent process ON PURPOSE:
the platform's reply-delivery contract is the model driving the buzz CLI
(block/buzz#2698 — final session text is not delivered to the channel).
Stripping them made every reply die with 'auth error: BUZZ_PRIVATE_KEY is
required' and the channel stayed empty while activity panels streamed the
answer. Mirror the CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN exception, gated on
BUZZ_MANAGED_AGENT (set only by the Buzz Desktop harness), so gateway/CLI/
kanban contexts keep stripping the path-3 platform secret.

(cherry picked from commit 065e41c0cceb3a373b5025449301c8e930d8a8f0)
Buzz platform agents could not use the `buzz` CLI from the terminal tool:
the BUZZ_* vars (BUZZ_PRIVATE_KEY, BUZZ_AUTH_TAG, BUZZ_RELAY_URL, and the
other BUZZ_* names) are added to _HERMES_PROVIDER_ENV_BLOCKLIST from the
buzz plugin.yaml (messaging category), and env_passthrough refuses to
re-allow anything in the blocklist (GHSA-rhgp-j443-p4rf). In the reported
`hermes acp` scenario the Buzz adapter's register() is never invoked, so
the agent runs in-process and its terminal uses _make_run_env directly —
there was no path for the platform credentials to reach terminal children.
Fix: a terminal-only, first-party carve-out in the scrub paths themselves
(not adapter registration). BUZZ_* vars pass through to foreground
(_make_run_env) and background/PTY (_sanitize_subprocess_env) terminal
children via a new prefix predicate (_TERMINAL_FIRST_PARTY_ENV_PREFIXES).
Everything else stays sealed and unchanged: the blocklist itself, the
env_passthrough refusal, execute_code scrubbing, hermes_subprocess_env
(browser/TUI-host/copilot-executor spawns), and docker children. The
GHSA-rhgp-j443-p4rf seal is preserved because no registration path is
opened; skills/config still cannot register these names.
Follow-up hardening from review:
- First-party matches use the merged env value directly instead of
_resolve_passthrough_value: under multiplex with no profile secret scope
installed the resolver raised UnscopedSecretError (fail-closed) at call
sites like the webhook-filter script runner, a regression where the
script previously ran without the var. The vars are the process's own
env values and are never scope-resolved.
- LocalEnvironment now excludes first-party terminal env names from the
shared login-shell snapshot (_additional_profile_scoped_passthrough_names
override): BUZZ_PRIVATE_KEY can never be in the get_all_passthrough()
exclusion set (env_passthrough refuses blocklisted names), so without
this a multiplexed gateway would dump profile A's key into
hermes-snap-<id>.sh and profile B sharing the collapsed LocalEnvironment
would source it — a cross-profile nsec leak. The names are now excluded
from the dump and save/restored per command.
- Docs now name the _sanitize_subprocess_env consumers (search workers
like ddgs, computer-use driver, user-script runners) that also receive
first-party platform vars.

Follow-up on top of @rahlquist's terminal.temp_dir knob (#97182): the
default itself now avoids RAM-backed tmpfs. Resolution order on the
local backend: terminal.temp_dir > TMPDIR/TMP/TEMP > HERMES_HOME/cache/
terminal (managed, pruned) > /tmp fallback. Pruning: hourly via gateway
housekeeping + once-per-process best-effort sweep; hermes_bg_* triplets
are aged as a group so a live server's fresh .log protects its .pid.
Some Linux distros (notably RAM-based tmpfs /tmp on several Arch-based
setups) cap the temp directory at a small size, so Hermes runs out of
space for session temp files (background logs/pid/exit files, code-
execution sandboxes). Add a terminal.temp_dir config key that points
these at real storage.
- Add terminal.temp_dir default (empty) in config_defaults.py
- Bridge it to TERMINAL_TEMP_DIR via TERMINAL_CONFIG_ENV_MAP
- Honor TERMINAL_TEMP_DIR first in LocalEnvironment.get_temp_dir(),
falling through to TMPDIR//tmp//gettempdir when unset/invalid
- Add tests covering override, process-env, missing-dir, and empty
Two fixups the #75785 review required before landing:
- grep fallback no longer uses --exclude-dir for protected dirs: grep
matches exclude-dir globs against BASENAMES anywhere in the tree, so
--exclude-dir=Downloads silently skipped every nested directory named
Downloads (a repo's own Downloads/ included). Protected-dir searches now
route through find's path-scoped -prune (same traversal-prevention the
find backend uses) feeding grep via -exec. Regression test proves a
nested work/repo/Downloads/notes.txt is still found while ~/Downloads is
not (live filesystem, real find+grep).
- exclusions gated on env.is_local (new BaseEnvironment flag, True on
LocalEnvironment): sys.platform/Path.home() describe the controller, not
the execution host — a macOS controller driving a Linux SSH/container
backend must not prune the remote's unprotected Downloads. Environments
without the flag default to local semantics (warning-carrying skip,
never data loss).
Both sabotage-verified: restoring basename --exclude-dir fails 2 tests.
LocalEnvironment._kill_process kills the process GROUP (SIGTERM ->
1s wait -> SIGKILL -> 2s wait), but a descendant that called setsid
escapes the group and survives — the #71148 orphan class, terminal
flavor (issue #84967's local sibling).
Fix: snapshot the descendant set via psutil BEFORE the first SIGTERM
(children reparent to init once the wrapper dies, so a later parent
walk finds nothing — same snapshot-before-signal design as
agent/deadline.py kill_process_tree), then after the existing group
escalation completes, SIGKILL any snapshotted survivor whose pgid is
no longer the (now-dead) group. The TERM->KILL grace window for
in-group members is preserved (interrupts use this path too), the
Windows branch is untouched, and the snapshot is fully guarded — a
broken psutil never breaks the kill path (unit-tested).
Tests: live_system_guard_bypass acceptance test spawning a setsid
grandchild and forcing the timeout path (RED on unmodified file,
GREEN after), plus a psutil-failure unit test.
Docker design note (#84967 open question 1, condensed; full note at
/tmp/4b-docker-design-note.md): the docker backend inherits
base.py:1378 _kill_process, which only proc.kill()s the HOST-side
`docker exec` client — the in-container tree (child of containerd-
shim, not the client) survives every timeout entirely. Option A,
`docker exec <cid> kill -- -<pgid>` with TERM->KILL escalation using
a PGID captured at command start, is surgical and preserves container
state but needs a live container + shell and still misses in-container
setsid escapees. Option B, container restart, is absolute (PID-
namespace teardown kills everything) but destroys all in-container
state mid-session and punishes every other consumer of the shared
persistent container. Recommendation: Option A as a best-effort
_kill_process override (degrade to today's behavior on failure);
reserve restart for the existing container-gone recovery path.
Shorter, single-source ownership explanation for
_strip_hermes_owned_pythonpath (the code-level Check comments already
carry the per-branch detail; the docstring only needs the contract).
Same behavior, same coverage, less boilerplate (test file 1691 -> 1512
lines; PR diff unchanged in semantics).
Production (mechanical only):
- Extract _strip_hermes_owned_pythonpath_and_runtime_markers(): the three
builders (_make_run_env, _sanitize_subprocess_env, hermes_subprocess_env)
ran the identical strip-then-pop-markers sequence in the same order
(ordering is load-bearing for VIRTUAL_ENV validation); the helper makes
that explicit once instead of three times.
Tests:
- Non-owned preservation: 11 single-shape tests -> one parametrized matrix
(user/Nix/other-version/python2.7/pythonX.Y-contained/raw spelling/empty
component/empty PYTHONPATH) + one runtime-shaped matrix (other-version SP,
venv-SP descendant, repo direct child, repo deep child).
- Owned stripping: venv SP, repo root (independent parents[2] computation),
duplicates, all-owned key removal, mixed ordering -> one matrix.
- Builder integration: _make_run_env/_sanitize_subprocess_env/
hermes_subprocess_env venv-SP stripping -> one parametrized test;
same for the four PYTHONHOME builders (incl. build_subprocess_env).
- Junction: same-named non-owned negative control now covers both the
configured-root location and an unrelated location; shared
_physical_repo_root helper; profile resolution matrix (root->named,
profile-shaped->named no nesting, profile-shaped->default, custom root).
- Every independent proof preserved: home-level junction, repo-level
junction, profile interaction, negative identity control, uv-base lexical
VIRTUAL_ENV, validated/unrelated VIRTUAL_ENV, no-scrub escape hatch,
#84500 same-env/external-env composition, PYTHONHOME removal, real
Windows-only semantics, POSIX fail-closed backslash paths.
Second real-world topology reported and confirmed on native Windows 11:
the repository itself is a cross-drive junction (D:\hermes\hermes-agent ->
C:\...\hermes-agent) under a real HERMES_HOME directory. The editable
import spelling resolves to the physical location, so _hermes_repo_root is
physical while the launcher writes the lexical spelling into PYTHONPATH.
The home-relative mapping cannot express a cross-drive link (commonpath
raises on different drives), so the lexical repo root survives stripping;
and with the repo alias missing, a lexical VIRTUAL_ENV
(D:\hermes\hermes-agent\venv) also fails _validated_runtime_venv, so the
venv site-packages survives too (uv-base gateway: both entries survive).
Fix: after the existing home/profile-root mapping, try the single
deterministic candidate <lexical root>/<repo dirname> for every trusted
home candidate (configured home, plus the profile root when the configured
home is a profile path) and accept it only when strict resolve proves it is
the exact physical repo root (fail-closed: missing paths, real directories
that are not the known repo, and unrelated spellings are never aliased).
This also re-enables the VIRTUAL_ENV validation for lexical venv spellings,
so uv-base gateway site-packages cleanup follows the repo alias.
Tests: repo-level junction positive + negative control (same-named real
directory preserved), profile-home + repo-level junction combination,
lexical VIRTUAL_ENV validation after recovery (root + site-packages
stripped, user entries kept), and a no-provenance lookalike preserved.
The execute_code composition test now compares composed paths with
os.path.normcase so a Windows case-only spelling difference (resolve() vs
abspath() casing) can never fail the composition contract.
Confirmed on native Windows 11 with a real junction and the real startup
chain: when the desktop/CLI spawns the backend with HERMES_HOME in the
configured (lexical) spelling and --profile / sticky active_profile is in
play, _apply_profile_override() re-homes HERMES_HOME through
resolve_profile_env(), which resolves the junction under the platform
default and returns the PHYSICAL spelling. tools.environments.local is
imported after that mutation, so _hermes_repo_root_aliases is built from
the physical home, the lexical repo-root spelling written into PYTHONPATH
by the launcher (D:\hermes\hermes-agent) is not derivable, and the entry
survives stripping (reproduced: cases --profile default / named / sticky
active_profile / cross-drive junction all leave it in place; no-profile
strips it).
Two narrow changes, no heuristics, no new env vars:
- hermes_cli/profiles.py::resolve_profile_env: when HERMES_HOME is set,
the configured spelling IS the launch root (junction-transparent,
physically identical dirs); keep it instead of re-deriving the native
default. This is the same producer contract _preserve_hermes_home_path
already follows.
- tools/environments/local.py::_build_hermes_repo_root_aliases: when the
configured home is a profile home (<root>/profiles/<name>), also derive
the root spelling lexically (parent of the profiles component, same
rule get_default_hermes_root uses) and run the exact-ownership mapping
against it, so the launcher's lexical root is recovered after re-home
without ever matching arbitrary descendants of HERMES_HOME.
Regression test test_profile_rehome_keeps_junction_lexical_alias covers
junction + profile re-home + inherited lexical PYTHONPATH end to end.
Adversarial review of the previous two commits (and #78917 itself)
found three ownership-boundary issues; this commit addresses them:
1. Repo direct-child over-strip (Finding A)
No launcher injects <repo>/tools or another direct child as an
independent PYTHONPATH entry - audited all four producers (Electron
electron-main.mjs, gateway/run.py::_ensure_windows_gateway_venv_imports,
cron/scheduler.py::_windows_cron_python_invocation,
tui_gateway/host_supervisor.py). The depth<=1 rule deleted user paths
that merely live under the repo directory; only the EXACT repo root is
now stripped.
2. Windows junction/symlink alias (Finding B)
The gateway launcher renders Hermes-owned paths under the configured
HERMES_HOME spelling (gateway_windows.py::_preserve_hermes_home_path),
which may be a junction to another drive, so it differs lexically from
the resolved repo root. _hermes_repo_root_aliases now carries both the
resolved and unresolved spellings; both are recognized as Hermes-owned.
3. Stale abstraction rename (Phase 4)
_strip_mismatched_site_packages -> _strip_hermes_owned_pythonpath:
the cross-version heuristic is gone, so the old name misdescribes the
behavior (ownership-based, not version-based).
Tests: direct-child now preserved; junction alias stripped (lexical pair
monkeypatched); Windows-only real-semantics test added (POSIX test remains
a safety test); mixed-ordering, duplicate-Hermes, and no-scrub PYTHONHOME
contract tests added. Full file: 52 passed / 16 failed (identical failure
set to base, all isolation-venv environment issues).
The gateway runs inside its own venv; if its PYTHONHOME leaks into
subprocesses (terminal commands, cron no_agent scripts, TTS providers),
any child interpreter redirects its stdlib search to the Hermes venv and
crashes with version-mismatch errors before importing anything.
PYTHONHOME is now part of _ACTIVE_VENV_MARKER_VARS so all env builders
(_make_run_env, _sanitize_subprocess_env, hermes_subprocess_env, and
build_subprocess_env used by cron) drop it, consistent with Hermes'
existing PYTHONHOME handling in managed_uv.py and sqlite_runtime.py.
execute_code already scrubbed it via _SAFE_ENV_PREFIXES.
Tests cover all four builders plus the marker constant.
Remove the cross-version heuristic from _strip_mismatched_site_packages:
the subprocess env builder cannot know which Python version a child will
run, so judging user PYTHONPATH entries against the backend interpreter's
version deletes legitimate paths meant for a different child Python
(e.g. /custom/lib/python3.13/site-packages while Hermes runs 3.11).
Also fix over-strip: entries merely containing a pythonX.Y path component
(e.g. /opt/tools/python3.13/bin) were stripped even though they are not
site-packages. Hermes-owned entries (repo root, own venv site-packages)
are now identified by path ownership, not by version.
Regression tests cover both cases; user paths with any pythonX.Y
component are preserved.
_hermes_repo_root used parents[1] which resolves to tools/ instead of
the repository root. The file lives at tools/environments/local.py so it
needs parents[2] to reach the actual repo root that Electron injects
into PYTHONPATH.
The test test_repo_root_stripped reused the module constant under test
as its input. This made it pass regardless of what the constant pointed
at. The test now computes the real repo root independently from the
source file location. It fails with the old parents[1] code and passes
with the fix.
Reported by spfcraze in PR #78917 review.
The Desktop Electron process injects the Hermes venv's site-packages path
(e.g. .../python3.11/site-packages) into PYTHONPATH so the Python 3.11
backend can import its packages. When this PYTHONPATH leaks into terminal
subprocesses running a different Python version (e.g. Python 3.13), 3.11
C extension modules appear on sys.path ahead of the correct 3.13 versions
and crash with ImportError (PIL _imaging, cryptography, etc.).
Replace the existing blunt pop of PYTHONPATH from _ACTIVE_VENV_MARKER_VARS
with a surgical Hermes-venv-aware filter:
- Parse each PYTHONPATH entry by path
- Strip only paths under ~/.hermes/hermes-agent/venv/.../site-packages
- Preserve the Hermes source root (needed for import hermes_cli)
- Preserve all user-set PYTHONPATH entries
The same filter is applied in all three env builders:
- _make_run_env (foreground terminal commands)
- _sanitize_subprocess_env (background/PTY spawns)
- PTY env builder
This preserves env_passthrough semantics and never silently discards the
user's own PYTHONPATH configuration.
The command wrapper prints the cwd marker after the command returns. A
killed or timed-out command emits no marker, so ``env.cwd`` still holds the
directory of the last command to FINISH. One local environment serves every
session, because ``_resolve_container_task_id`` collapses cwd-only overrides
to ``"default"``. That leftover directory is therefore routinely another
session's.
The post-command dual-write copied ``env.cwd`` into the interrupted session's
durable record. Every later command in that session then ran in the foreign
directory, and the cwd echo told the model it had moved there. A desktop chat
silently re-homed into a worktree that another chat had opened.
Report the observation instead of inferring it. The marker parse now sets
``result["cwd_observed"]``, and both the record write and the echo read that
flag. The local override clears the flag when it rolls back a path that does
not exist, because the restored value is also unobserved. When a command
reports no cwd, the session keeps the directory it already had.
This needs no second session to be wrong: a lone session that interrupts a
command re-adopts a stale value too. A second session only makes the wrong
directory belong to somebody else.
The same class of write exists in the file-tools rescue for a reaped
environment (#26211). That rescue copied the cached snapshot of the shared
``env.cwd`` into the session record. The rescue is now fill-only: it writes
the snapshot when the session has no record, and it never overwrites a
record that the session wrote for itself.
The tests drive ``terminal_tool`` itself through an interrupt, not a copy of
its gate. Review found that a revert of either call site passed the first
version of the tests. Each gate now has a test that fails when the gate is
removed (verified by mutation).
Two exact-dict assertions in the Vercel sandbox tests now assert the two
fields they care about, so a new result key does not fail them.
Hermes installs runtimes for itself — `uv` at `$HERMES_HOME/bin/uv`, Node
at `$HERMES_HOME/node` — and neither directory is on an arbitrary
process's PATH. Every `shutil.which("node"/"npm"/"npx"/"uv")` in Hermes's
own code therefore has two failure modes: the managed runtime is invisible,
so the caller reports "not installed" or degrades to a slower tier on a
machine that has exactly what it needed; and when a system copy also
exists, the one Hermes does not own wins.
Routed the Hermes-owned call sites through managed-aware resolvers:
- `agent/lsp/install.py`, `hermes_cli/dep_ensure.py`, `hermes_cli/main.py`
(`_make_tui_argv`), `hermes_cli/tools_config.py` (`_run_post_setup`) now
use `find_node_executable()`.
- `hermes_cli/tools_config.py::_pip_install` and `hermes_cli/setup.py`'s
vercel install use `ensure_uv()` (installing uv is in scope during setup,
and the Windows installer's `uv venv` does not seed pip, so the fallback
tier is "No module named pip"). `tools/lazy_deps.py` uses `resolve_uv()`
— a lookup, not a bootstrap, because it runs mid-turn for an optional
dependency and downloading a runtime as a side effect exceeds what the
caller asked for.
- `hermes_cli/gateway.py`: extracted `_append_node_dir_for_service()`,
shared by the systemd unit and launchd plist generators, which appends
the managed dirs before the PATH-resolved one. A service definition is
written once and survives reboots, so resolving a system Node that
happens to lead the installing shell's PATH bakes the wrong interpreter
in permanently. Managed dirs are profile-scoped, so each profile's unit
still names its own Node; the existing symlink-parent rule (don't
`.resolve()`) is preserved verbatim.
- `tools/environments/local.py`: the terminal tool's subshell PATH gains
the managed dirs, appended alongside the sane entries rather than
prepended — a tool the user deliberately put on their own PATH still
wins, and the managed one only fills a gap. This is also what makes the
bare `which("uv")` in `tools/env_probe.py` correct: that probe reports
the environment the *model* sees, and the model can only run what is on
that subshell's PATH.
`scripts/install.ps1`: the persisted User PATH update becomes
`Set-ManagedNodeFirstOnUserPath`, a move-to-front rather than an
add-if-missing. Installs made by an older install.ps1 already have the
managed dir in User PATH — at the tail, behind a system Node — and an
add-if-missing check sees it present and leaves that ordering in place
forever, so the users the bug hurt would never be repaired. Unrelated
entries keep their relative order (empty segments included; a trailing
`;` is legal and the installer's other PATH code preserves them),
duplicates collapse, and it writes only when the string actually changes.
Tests:
- `tests/test_managed_runtime_resolution.py` — AST guard that fails any
new bare `which()` for a managed runtime, with a short justified
allow-list and a companion test that fails when an allow-list entry goes
stale. Reading source is banned by AGENTS.md and this is the documented
exception: the property is "no call site anywhere spells it this way",
which no runtime seam can observe.
- `scripts/ci/test_install_ps1_path_migration.ps1` — behavioral, not a
source regex: it lifts the real `Set-ManagedNodeFirstOnUserPath` out of
install.ps1's AST and rewrites only the two registry calls into an
in-memory store, so the shipped split/dedupe/prepend/change-detection
logic executes for real. Not in the default lane (Linux runners have no
PowerShell host); runs under `pwsh`. 13/13 assertions pass.
- Strip the salvaged commit's inline encoding kwargs where main had since
gained its own (process_registry, local env, cua doctor, gateway,
commands, gateway_windows — the latter keeps its locale-aware
_schtasks_encoding() from #38186)
- Revert encoding kwargs mistakenly applied to non-subprocess APIs
(exa get_contents, tempfile.mkstemp in webhook.py)
- Guard the ddgs worker Popen (new on main since #55339)
- Update two kwarg-snapshot test assertions for the new kwargs
AST-driven pass over every subprocess.run/Popen/check_output/check_call/call
with text=True (or universal_newlines=True) and no explicit encoding=:
append encoding='utf-8', errors='replace' at the kwarg site. 136 call
sites across 28 files (cli.py, hermes_cli/main.py, tools_config.py,
environments, computer_use, gateway, scripts, skills helpers, agent/*).
Together with the salvaged #55339/#60741 commits this closes out issue
#53428's bug class; the salvaged #60751 linter rule in
check-windows-footguns.py now enforces it repo-wide (verified: 807 files
scanned, zero findings).
On Windows with Chinese locale (GBK), subprocess.run(text=True) without
explicit encoding causes UnicodeDecodeError crashes. This fix adds
encoding='utf-8', errors='replace' to all subprocess.run() and
subprocess.Popen() calls that use text=True across 76 non-test Python files.
Fixes#53428 (master tracker for Windows GBK locale crash).

those will be submitted as separate focused PRs.
A root-launched CLI session can leak /root into the terminal cwd state a

_resolve_safe_cwd returned it and subprocess.Popen(cwd='/root') died with
PermissionError: [Errno 13], failing EVERY cron job's terminal/file/search

when an existing-but-denied cwd is skipped. Missing-cwd recovery (#17558)
behavior unchanged.
E2E-verified: LocalEnvironment constructed with an unenterable cwd now runs
commands from the fallback directory instead of raising.
Follow-up for salvaged PR #26790: on a POSIX host with _IS_WINDOWS
patched (test simulation), os.path.isabs rejects C:\Users\x and the
new relative-cwd recovery would mangle a perfectly absolute native
Windows path. Check ntpath.isabs first on the Windows branch.
#63955 made Hermes survive a broken `bash -l` (Ainz's `Directory
\drivers\etc does not exist`) by falling back to non-login `bash -c`.
But a non-login shell never sources /etc/profile, so it never gets
`…\usr\bin` on PATH — and that dir holds every coreutil the file/terminal
tools shell out to (cat, mktemp, mv, wc, head, stat, chmod, mkdir, find).
Result: `write_file` returned bytes_written:0 with an EMPTY error (the
failure text went to a missing binary's stderr) and terminal commands
exited 127. The survive-broken-login-bash fix was only half-done: it
stopped crashing but silently failed every write.
Derive Git Bash's bin dirs (mingw64/bin, usr/bin, bin, …) from the
resolved bash.exe and prepend them to the subprocess PATH on Windows, in
/etc/profile precedence order so coreutils win over same-named System32
tools (find.exe, sort.exe) inside the shell. No-op off Windows and when a
login snapshot is healthy (the snapshot re-exports the full PATH inside
the shell), so this only bites on the broken-login fallback path.
Adds _git_bash_bin_dirs() (derivation, cached) + _prepend_git_bash_dirs()
(PATH merge), plus regression tests for PortableGit/MinGit layouts and
the run-env injection ordering.
#63621 fixed path quoting, but Ainz's Git for Windows still dies on
`bash -l` itself (`Directory \drivers\etc`). Hermes then fell back to
bash -l *per command*, so every write_file/terminal call failed the same way.
After a failed login snapshot, probe non-login bash -c; if it works, skip
-l for the session. Also skip a stale HERMES_GIT_BASH_PATH that fails a
noprofile probe in favor of %LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes\git portable bash.
#63113 rewrote native drive paths in ShellFileOperations, but init_session
/_wrap_command still embedded C:/... hermes-snap paths from get_temp_dir.
MSYS arg-converts those during bash -l and surfaces Directory \drivers\etc
— including for relative write_file targets, since the wrapper is the fault.
Add _bash_safe_path, override BaseEnvironment._quote_shell_path on
LocalEnvironment (no base→local import), and normalize mixed /c/Users\...
paths in file ops.
