Rebase fold: the original PR predates ZAI_ENDPOINTS growing per-endpoint
probe_models lists; the parallel worker now preserves that candidate-model
fallback loop (was: scalar model). Tests (both mutation-checked):
- candidate-model fallback within one endpoint worker
- ZAI_ENDPOINTS priority order wins over completion order
- all-fail returns None
Re-derivation of PR #39399 onto current main: pass --prefer-offline to
the web-UI workspace install (both silent and verbose arms of
_install_web_deps) and to the update-time Node dependency refresh in
_update_node_dependencies, so npm reuses its local cache instead of
re-fetching metadata. Test expectations updated to match, mirroring the
PR's own test-update commit.
The picker path fetches the Copilot /models catalog multiple times per
process (list_authenticated_providers -> provider_model_ids ->
_fetch_github_models, plus get_copilot_model_context / normalize
helpers). Cache the filtered catalog at module level with a short TTL
so repeated picker opens do not pay a TLS handshake each time.
Fold-fixes on top of the original patch:
- key the cache by api_key so a mid-process credential swap never
serves the previous account's catalog
- use time.monotonic() so wall-clock adjustments cannot extend the TTL
- deep-copy on store/serve so callers cannot mutate cached entries
- tests updated to patch _urlopen_model_catalog_request (main routes
catalog fetches through open_credentialed_url now), plus TTL-expiry
and credential-change coverage
Extracted from #40276.
The gateway lifecycle guard (cron/lifecycle_guard.py) applied shell-style
tokenization and script-reference resolution to non-shell content, with two
regressions:
#77131 - every .py cron script using pathlib division was hard-blocked:
Path.home() / ".hermes" / ".env" tokenizes the bare "/" operator as an
executable path, which resolves to the filesystem root; the regular-file
check then fails closed as unsafe. Since Python runs under the
interpreter, never through a POSIX shell, the shell-script reference walk
is a false-positive generator on Python sources. check_gateway_lifecycle
now skips the walk for *.py scripts (the direct command regex still scans
the full text), and _iter_referenced_shell_scripts skips pure-separator
tokens.
#76762 - terminal commands invoking a binary by absolute path (e.g.
/usr/bin/python3) crashed the guard with ValueError: embedded null byte:
the walk read the binary's bytes, decoded them as text, and re-tokenized
machine code; the recursion then hit Path.resolve() on a NUL-bearing
path while only OSError was caught. _read_referenced_script now skips
NUL-containing files (binaries are not referenced shell scripts) and
resolve() tolerates ValueError.
Shell scripts (.sh/.bash/.zsh) keep the full deep scan; literal lifecycle
commands in .py scripts are still blocked by the direct regex. New tests
cover all four behaviors.
Follow-up for the salvaged #29239: regression test drives the real
gateway _reload_runtime_env_preserving_config_authority() path with a
stale .env TERMINAL_ENV=docker vs config.yaml terminal.backend=local,
and the hermes debug dump test that pinned the old stale-env-wins
symptom now pins the fixed contract (config wins, override line kept
as defense-in-depth for post-load env mutation).
A leftover TERMINAL_ENV in ~/.hermes/.env (written by `hermes setup` or
shell exports) was silently overriding terminal.backend in config.yaml,
so users switching from docker to local saw `hermes config show` agree
with their change while the gateway / cron / batch_runner still ran
against the old backend.
load_hermes_dotenv now re-applies config.yaml's terminal.* values on top
of whatever the .env files set, so the documented source of truth wins
for every entrypoint that goes through the loader.

Three mechanisms to detect and notify when gateway sessions stall silently:
1. Mid-turn activity heartbeats stamped to SessionDB so hermes sessions list
and hermes status show progress during long turns without new message rows.
2. Stall watchdog: when a busy session has pending inbound and the shared
activity clock is idle past agent.session_stall_timeout (default 300),
log a WARNING and notify the user once to try /new. Notify-only; does
not kill the turn.
3. Compaction timeout: fenceless compress_context callers get a progress-aware
host budget (compression.context_timeout_seconds default 120 idle,
compression.context_total_ceiling_seconds default 600 ceiling). On timeout,
cancel via commit fence, skip compaction without dropping messages, and
continue the turn.
Closes#72016 (slices 1-3; slice 4 cumulative SSE stream-retry deadline
remains a follow-up).
Cherry-picked from PR #72424 by @fangliquanflq.
Builds on the adapter list_channels() hook (cherry-picked from #43545 by
@Guoen0):
- plugins/platforms/simplex: implement list_channels() — enumerates
contacts (/contacts) and groups (/groups) over the live daemon
WebSocket into the channel directory. Returns None when the WS is
down so the directory falls back to session discovery instead of
wiping known targets.
- hermes send --list: merge configured-but-undiscovered platforms into
the listing. Previously a platform configured only via env (e.g. a
fresh SimpleX setup used for outbound sends) was silently omitted,
leaving users guessing at platform names.
- format_directory_for_display(): accept an explicit platforms view and
render empty platforms with a targeting hint instead of hiding them.
- docs: simplex hermes-send section.
Reported by Fedpostoffice on Discord (simplex missing from
hermes send --list; guessed platform names simplex-chat/simplex-relay).
The inverse of the inbound webhook platform: hooks.outbound in
config.yaml lists HTTP targets + the plugin-hook events they subscribe
to (on_session_end, subagent_stop, post_tool_call, ...). Each firing
POSTs a JSON payload (same top-level shape as shell hooks' stdin wire)
signed GitHub-style with HMAC-SHA256 (X-Hermes-Signature-256).
Rides the existing hook bus — notify-only callbacks registered on the
plugin manager at the same CLI/gateway/main entry points as shell
hooks. Delivery is fire-and-forget via a bounded queue + single daemon
worker thread, so a dead endpoint can never stall a tool call. Bounded
retries (5xx/conn errors once; 4xx never). secret_env preferred over
inline secret. HERMES_SAFE_MODE skips registration. hermes hooks list
shows outbound targets with signed/UNSIGNED status.
Zero new model tools, zero new subsystems.
_format_price_per_mtok collapsed any per-Mtok price below one cent to
"$0.00" (and readers treated near-zero as free). Nous Portal's DeepSeek
V4 Flash 0731 promo prices cache hits at $0.0018/Mtok, which rendered as
free in the /model picker and hermes model listings.
Prices under $0.01/Mtok now widen precision to the first significant
digit plus one, with trailing zeros trimmed: 0.0000000018/tok →
$0.0018. Standard prices keep the aligned two-decimal format; exact
zero still renders as "free".
- Pass extra_exclude={pid} to _reap_unsupervised_gateway_orphans so the
killed PID isn't double-killed during the sweep (#75936).
- Add extra_exclude param to _reap_unsupervised_gateway_orphans signature.
- Replace bare except:pass with logger.debug for diagnosability.
- Fix existing test (mock _reap_unsupervised_gateway_orphans so it
doesn't scan real processes and trigger conftest live-system guard).
- Add regression test asserting the killed PID is excluded from the sweep.
Efficiency-pass follow-up on the #66355 salvage: force=True bypassed the
cooldown entirely, and AIAgent.close() fires a forced trim for EVERY
in-process child subagent close (delegate_tool child.close(), parent
close step 5). A delegate batch of N children closing back-to-back in
the gateway process stacked N+1 uncooled full gc.collect()+malloc_trim
passes (50-500ms each with a large live heap). Forced trims now honor a
5s floor — bursts coalesce, the parent's final close-trim still fires.
Guard test mutation-checked (floor zeroed -> test fails).
Simplify-pass follow-up on the #66355 salvage:
1. _config_settings runs on EVERY trim attempt (before the cooldown
check) and only reads — swap load_config for load_config_readonly.
Deep-copying the whole config per attempt generates exactly the
allocator garbage this module exists to release. Tests re-seamed.
2. Trim-failure logs demoted warning->debug at all 3 periodic sites
(gateway housekeeping, idle reaper, slash worker): sibling failure
branches in the same loops log at debug, and a persistent failure
(e.g. broken import after a partial update) would otherwise warn
every 60s forever.
3. The frame-inspection test now asserts the expected locals exist
before reading them — a rename in _run_prompt_submit fails the test
loudly instead of vacuously passing on None.
Add config-driven glibc malloc_trim for long-lived Hermes processes:
- hermes_cli/mem_trim.py: trim_memory() with configurable cooldown,
RSS snapshot telemetry, and forced-trim INFO logging
- gateway/run.py: periodic trim in gateway housekeeping loop
- tui_gateway/server.py: trim in idle reaper (~every 5 min)
- tui_gateway/slash_worker.py: trim on turn boundary
- run_agent.py: force trim on agent close
- hermes_cli/config.py: context.memory_trim config section
(enabled, cooldown_seconds, log_every_n, info_log_min_delta_mb)
CSA tier-4 reviewed (4 rounds, 0 HIGH/MEDIUM/CRITICAL remaining).
Supersedes PR #63708 + #64591 with enhanced telemetry and gateway/slash_worker coverage.
test_churn_across_more_files_than_fit_in_one_argv (e65ff9625f) asserts all
1200 checked-out files read dirty before normalization. Whether git diff
content-compares an entry (seeing the CRLF churn) or trusts the stat cache
depends on racy-git detection: entries whose recorded stat is non-racy
(mtime older than the index write) read CLEAN. On CI a 1200-file checkout
straddles that boundary nondeterministically — observed 92/1200 and
661/1200 dirty on two unrelated PRs within minutes (runs 30738759530,
30738842393). Empirically reproduced: freezing a non-racy stat cache gives
0/N dirty; bumping worktree mtimes past the index write forces content
comparison and gives N/N deterministically.
Fix: bump every worktree mtime after checkout in _managed_repo so all
entries are stat-stale. Affects only the fixture; the production
_normalize_managed_eol path is untouched.
Three tests pin the exact kwargs of the picker probe call
(test_model_switch_custom_providers + two in
test_user_providers_model_switch, the latter caught by CI slice 2);
the picker-timeout change now always passes timeout explicitly (5.0 on
the non-picker path), so the pinned shapes gain the key.
Follow-ups on the startup-burst memo:
- Populate the memo on the valid-token fast path as well. The startup
burst usually finds a VALID token, and each check_fn call still paid
two cross-process file locks + state reads to reach that return; the
original memo only engaged after a refresh. The token has at least
refresh_skew_seconds (>=120s) of life at that return, so a 5s memo can
never serve an expired token.
- Clear the module-level memo in test_nous_portal_staging_allowlist's
refresh-capture helper: with the fast-path populate, a token memoized
by an earlier test would otherwise short-circuit the refresh these
tests assert on (3 tests failed without this).
- Add dedicated memo behavior tests (TTL hit, TTL expiry, insecure
bypass) — the original PR shipped none. Mutation-checked: all 3 fail
against main's un-memoized function, pass on this branch.
Architecture fix for the bug class behind the Termux --version NameError
(live on main since eb4040242): version-printing kept being reimplemented
as *_fast() copies at the top of hermes_cli/main.py, each duplicating
canonical logic (project-root resolution, container detection, profile
detection). The copies drift silently — eb4040242 edited the canonical
output and referenced the PROJECT_ROOT module constant inside the fast
function, which doesn't exist yet at the fast exit point.
- hermes_cli/_startup_fast.py: THE implementations, stdlib-only. main.py's
*_fast() names become thin delegates (kept for test/back-compat), and
PROJECT_ROOT itself derives from the same helper — the constant and the
fast path can no longer disagree.
- Fast output now includes the .install_method stamp (one cheap file read)
and a 'Run hermes version for update status' pointer, so globalizing the
fast path doesn't silently drop slow-path info.
- Guard tests: (1) import-weight — subprocess-imports _startup_fast and
fails if any heavy module (config/yaml/argparse/cli/run_agent/httpx)
lands in sys.modules; (2) subprocess parity on+off Termux — the test
that would have caught eb4040242 the day it landed; (3) install-method
stamp surfacing.
hermes --version: ~3.8s cold / 0.2-0.4s warm -> 0.01-0.02s everywhere.
- agent_import.dump_yaml_file now calls utils.atomic_yaml_write instead
of hand-rolling safe_dump + atomic_write_text — same temp+fsync+atomic
rename and symlink preservation, plus mode/owner preservation a
0600-secured config.yaml needs
- openclaw script: the EXDEV/EBUSY copy fallback gains copystat + target
fsync so the docstring's 'mirrors utils.atomic_replace' durability
claim is true on cross-device deployments
- trim load_yaml_file's docstring to the behavior contract
The inlined temp-file + os.replace in openclaw_to_hermes.dump_yaml_file
replaced a symlinked config.yaml with a regular file, silently detaching
managed deployments that symlink ~/.hermes/config.yaml into a dotfiles repo or
profile package. The bare path.write_text it replaced followed the link, and
utils.atomic_replace -- which the hermes_cli twin reaches through
atomic_write_text -- resolves the link for exactly this reason (#16743).
Mirror that here: resolve the symlink before creating the temp file so the
rename lands on the real file, and fall back to copyfile on EXDEV/EBUSY now
that the target can live on another device. Covered by a regression test that
fails when the resolution is removed.
Also guard the permission-denied test for Windows: os.geteuid does not exist
there and chmod-based denial is unreliable, so skip on non-POSIX.
agent_import.py carries a private load_yaml_file/dump_yaml_file pair that
returned {} for an absent file AND for a present file it could not read or
parse. Three importers -- import_permission_allowlist, import_permission_denylist
and import_mcp_servers -- read config.yaml through it, merge one section into
the result, and write the whole mapping straight back. So a YAML syntax error,
a permission problem or a broken mount meant the importer replaced every
setting the user had with only the one to three keys it merged, and still
reported the item as "imported". The write was a bare path.write_text(), so an
interrupted import truncated the file instead.
Distinguish the two cases at the read. Absent, or present but empty, still
yields {} so first-time creation works. Present but unreadable, unparseable, or
not a mapping raises ConfigReadError; the three sites funnel through a new
load_target_config() that records the refusal as a per-item error and leaves the
file byte-identical. Dry-run refuses too, rather than previewing an "imported"
that would destroy the config. dump_yaml_file now writes through
utils.atomic_write_text, which the module already imports and uses for the
memory store.
This is the invariant hermes_cli/config.py already enforces for its own writers
via require_readable_config_before_write / atomic_config_write, whose docstring
names this exact root cause and calls itself "the single chokepoint every
config-update path should use". agent_import.py has its own helper pair and so
was never covered; it was the last config.yaml writer without the guard.
The identical helper pair lives in openclaw_to_hermes.py, the script this module
was ported from, where twelve config.yaml read-modify-write sites share the same
defect; fixed there too. Its refusal is recorded at the run_if_selected dispatch
point, which flips the existing _config_apply_blocked flag so the remaining
config-mutating options short-circuit instead of each rediscovering the same
unreadable file. The atomic write is inlined with tempfile + os.replace because
that script runs standalone with only the stdlib on its path.
/simplify-code review found _poll_for_token has a second caller:
web_server._nous_poller (dashboard/desktop device login), which surfaces
str(e) as the UI error_message — so wrapping only in
_nous_device_code_login left the dashboard showing the bare timeout.
Move the enrichment into _poll_for_token's deadline raise so every
caller inherits the guidance, and drop the now-redundant try/except
wrap in the CLI login. Add a source-level regression test driving the
real poll loop (authorization_pending stub client) to the deadline.
A bare 'Timed out waiting for device authorization' gives the user
nothing to act on. The most common cause is Portal sign-in failing in
the opened browser tab (including the server-side CAPTCHA loop from
issue #20605), so point at the Portal login page and the hermes portal
retry command.
Salvaged from PR #75290 by @HexLab98 (timeout-guidance kernel only).
The URL-rewrite portion of that PR was dropped: the live Portal has no
/device route (verified 404 with a real user_code), so rewriting the
manage-subscription verification URL would break login entirely.
Guidance text reworded to reference only real URLs.
`hermes update` aborted its managed-Python runtime repair with an error
that reads like a contradiction:
⚠ Managed Python runtime repair skipped: cannot import name
'venv_python_path' from 'hermes_constants'
(/home/teknium/.hermes/hermes-agent/hermes_constants.py)
The named file does contain the symbol. The module in memory does not.
main.py imports hermes_constants from the OLD checkout, `git pull` then
replaces that file on disk, and the freshly-pulled managed_uv runs its
lazy `from hermes_constants import venv_python_path` against the module
object Python already cached in sys.modules — the pre-upgrade one. The
ImportError reports the path of the new file, so it looks like the symbol
is missing from a file that plainly has it.
Same update-boundary class already documented on `_UvResult` for the
ensure_uv() arity skew. It fires on the first update from any release
older than 83314ca38, which introduced the symbol.
Both lazy call sites now reload the module from disk on ImportError:
- hermes_cli/managed_uv.py::_venv_python — the reported path
- hermes_cli/gateway.py::get_python_path — same flaw, same fix; a gateway
restarted mid-update hits it identically
Reload rather than a local fallback on purpose. Recomputing the layout
inline would hand-roll `Scripts`/`bin` a second time — exactly what #76105
deduped into venv_bin_dir()/venv_python_path(), and what
test_no_open_coded_venv_layout_remains_in_hermes_cli bans. Reloading fixes
the actual problem (a stale module) and keeps one owner for the layout.
hermes_cli/update_cmd.py imports the symbol at module scope, which is a
different failure mode (the module fails to import at all) and is already
covered by the installer's retry-once for the update-boundary crash.
Tests reproduce the stale-module state by deleting the attribute from the
imported hermes_constants: recovery resolves through the reloaded shared
helper (asserted via a sentinel, so an open-coded copy cannot pass), and
the normal path never reloads. Against origin/main's managed_uv they fail
with the exact reported ImportError.
The SQLite runtime repair staged its replacement environment with
`uv sync --extra all --locked --no-config`, and managed_python_env also
exports UV_NO_CONFIG=1. Both drop `[tool.uv]` from pyproject.toml —
including `exclude-newer = "14 days"`, which uv.lock was generated with.
uv 0.12 treats the missing setting as a resolver change, re-resolves, and
then refuses to write under `--locked`:
Resolving despite existing lockfile due to removal of global exclude newer
error: The lockfile at `uv.lock` needs to be updated, but `--locked` was provided.
So every repair attempt failed at the dependency-sync gate and reported
"replacement environment did not pass dependency and import smoke tests",
leaving vulnerable-SQLite installs stuck on journal_mode=DELETE with a
guaranteed-failure warning on each `hermes update`.
Drop `--no-config` from the sync argv and pop UV_NO_CONFIG from its env.
Interpreter provisioning keeps both: only the sync has to agree with the
lockfile the project shipped.
Salvaged premise from #67065 (@webtecnica, issue #67027), reimplemented:
get_env_value() read os.environ first with no secret-scope check, so a
multiplexed profile turn could serve another profile's credential. Its
siblings get_env_value_prefer_dotenv and gateway.config._getenv were
already scope-aware.
Reimplementation note: the original diff called get_secret() but fell
through to os.environ on a scoped miss — re-opening the exact leak it
targeted (flagged by the sweeper review). This version delegates policy
fully to agent.secret_scope.get_secret (global vars pass through; scope
authoritative under multiplexing; legacy environ behavior when off;
UnscopedSecretError propagates fail-closed), then falls back to .env.
6 regression tests incl. the #67027 repro (envless profile + multiplexed
turn -> None, not the other profile's key); sabotage-verified RED on the
old implementation.
The salvaged cleanup (#75197) scrubbed every known Hermes key absent from
the profile .env — deleting user-shell-exported credentials
(export OPENAI_API_KEY=...) on every hermes invocation, a documented flow
the author's own failing test_dump_flags_shell_only_key_not_in_dotenv
confirmed. A child process cannot distinguish shell exports from
parent-process leakage, so the scrub now covers ONLY
_PROFILE_MANAGED_ENV_KEYS (ACP routing keys: HERMES_ACP_*,
HERMES_COPILOT_ACP_*, COPILOT_CLI_PATH, COPILOT_ACP_BASE_URL) —
the vector from #75141. Cross-profile credential isolation is owned at
read time by agent.secret_scope.get_secret.
Adds shell-export survival regression + a scope-invariant test that fails
if the scrub set is ever widened toward credential-shaped keys.
Align load_hermes_dotenv() with reload_env() so known Hermes env vars
absent from the active profile .env are removed from os.environ instead
of leaking from a parent process / other profile.
Register ACP-related keys (HERMES_ACP_AUTH_METHOD, HERMES_COPILOT_ACP_*,
COPILOT_CLI_PATH, COPILOT_ACP_BASE_URL) in _EXTRA_ENV_KEYS so they
participate in known-key cleanup.
This is the same isolation gap class as #68367 / #66930, but:
- Not Desktop-only spawn scrub — CLI/gateway restart inheritance
- Not Matrix/messaging auto-enable only — copilot-acp provider/ACP config
- Startup dotenv clear so *any* inheritance path is covered
Example: HERMES_ACP_AUTH_METHOD=cursor_login leaking into a Claude Code
ACP profile caused authenticate -> Internal error -> Discord
'model provider failed after retries'.
The npm 12 requirement (f88ed6c717) strands every system-Node install:
no shipping Node bundles npm >=12, engine-strict makes EBADENGINE fatal,
and the recovery in npm_engine.py refuses to touch a system npm — so
'hermes update' leaves the install in a mixed state (updated code, stale
Node deps, no TUI/web/desktop rebuild) with only a manual-fix hint.
Instead of modifying the user's toolchain (still never done), the
EBADENGINE recovery now provisions Hermes' own managed Node tree under
$HERMES_HOME/node — the same pinned-nodejs.org path install.sh and
install.ps1 use — upgrades THAT npm into the required range, and hands
the caller the managed npm for its single retry.
- hermes_constants.bootstrap_hermes_managed_node(): cross-platform
provisioning (POSIX via node-bootstrap.sh _nb_install_bundled_node,
Windows via the existing portable-zip download); reuses a healthy tree.
- node-bootstrap.sh: HERMES_NODE_SKIP_LINKS=1 skips the ~/.local/bin
node/npm/npx symlinks so the private tree never shadows the user's
own toolchain on PATH.
- maybe_repair_npm_engine() now returns the npm path to retry with
(managed-in-place upgrade or freshly provisioned runtime); both call
sites retry with the returned path and put the managed tree first on
PATH so npm lifecycle scripts resolve the managed node.
- Node-only mismatches on a foreign npm are now also recoverable (the
managed tree ships a supported Node); on a managed npm they still
correctly decline.
E2E (real download, temp HERMES_HOME): provisioned node v22.23.2,
upgraded bundled npm 10.9.4 -> 12.0.2, system npm byte-identical after,
no ~/.local/bin links re-pointed, healthy-tree reuse in 0.05s.
Cancelling the API-key prompt mid-wizard (Enter → 'Cancelled.') let the
wizard continue through Terminal/Gateway/Tools and finish 'successfully'
with no model configured — the user exits believing they're set up, then
hits a broken chat.
_print_setup_summary() (called by every setup path: full, quick,
blank-slate, portal) now probes resolve_provider() and, when nothing is
configured, prints an unmissable warning with the two one-line fixes
(hermes model / hermes setup --portal).
Consumer-onboarding audit finding #7 (sev 4), Aug 2026.
The remaining /model picker stall after the Copilot backoff fix: whenever
the 1h provider-models disk cache TTL (or the remote model-catalog manifest
TTL) lapsed mid-session, the next picker open blocked on 8-9 serial
/v1/models round-trips (~2-3s measured) plus the catalog manifest fetch
before rendering anything.
Model catalogs change on release timescales, not hourly — so both caches
now use stale-while-revalidate:
- cached_provider_model_ids(): an expired entry whose credential
fingerprint still matches is served immediately; a deduped daemon thread
re-fetches the live catalog and rewrites the disk cache for the next
open. Entries older than 7 days still block on a live fetch, credential
rotation still busts the entry, and force_refresh still bypasses SWR.
- model_catalog.get_catalog(): an expired disk manifest is served
immediately with an off-thread refresh; only a truly cold cache (no disk
copy) blocks on the network.
Measured picker payload build with deliberately-expired caches:
2.9s -> 0.93s (first open in process) / 0.06s (subsequent opens).
Combined with the Copilot fix (#76386): 7.3s -> ~0.06s for the common case.
The Desktop client writes the SSH session token under $HOME/.hermes/desktop-ssh
(a literal ~/.hermes/desktop-ssh in apps/desktop/electron/remote-lifecycle.ts,
expanded against the account's $HOME), independent of HERMES_HOME and the active
profile. But _read_ssh_session_token_file validated it against
get_hermes_home()/desktop-ssh, which a non-default sticky profile re-homes to
<root>/profiles/<name>/desktop-ssh (and any custom HERMES_HOME points elsewhere).
relative_to() then rejects every token as "not under the desktop-ssh directory",
so SSH remote mode is broken under any non-default profile.
Anchor to Path.home()/.hermes/desktop-ssh so the validator matches the exact
directory the client writes to, across default, profile, and Docker layouts.
Adds profile / custom-root acceptance tests and a profile-local rejection test.
Fixes#69551.

The no-args /model picker calls list_authenticated_providers(), which walks
every provider through load_pool(). For copilot, _seed_from_singletons()
re-runs the raw-token -> API-token exchange on every pass. When the exchange
is rejected (HTTP 403: token not Copilot-entitled, revoked, org-blocked),
the transient-network retry loop slept ~4.5s (1.5s + 3.0s backoff) before
degrading to the raw token — and nothing cached the failure, so EVERY picker
open, provider discovery pass, delegation spawn, and dashboard credential
listing paid the full 4.5s again.
Measured on a machine with a 403-rejected gh token: /model picker payload
build went from 7.3s to 1.0s cold and 0.06s warm.
Fixes:
- Permanent HTTP rejections (401/403/404) skip the retry backoff entirely —
the loop exists for startup network races, not auth rejections.
- Negative cache keyed on token fingerprint: failed exchanges are not
re-attempted for 30min (auth rejection) / 60s (transient network error).
- Success and evict_cached_exchanged_token() both clear the negative-cache
entry, so the runtime stale-credential recovery path still forces a fresh
exchange.
Extends the shared _GATEWAY_LIFECYCLE_PATTERN (used by BOTH the cron
creation-time guard in cron/lifecycle_guard.py and the terminal
execution-time hard-block in tools/terminal_tool.py) so Branch B covers
launchctl submit and bootstrap alongside kickstart/unload/load/stop/
restart, and normalizes POSIX shell line continuations before matching
so the exact multi-line reported shape in #62891 cannot slip past.
Also extends the execution-aware, label-independent detector
(contains_launchctl_submit_command, cherry-picked from #63272) to cover
launchctl bootstrap, since a neutral label like ai.hermes.svc-reload-tmp
defeats any label-anchored regex — the second production reproduction.
Regression tests cover both sites, including
`launchctl submit -l com.foo -- /path/gateway` and the bootstrap
variant, plus outside-gateway pass-through.
