The PR shipped nineteen tests across six files, most of them variations of
one boundary. Keep the three that pin distinct behaviour:
- a routed desktop-ticker fire runs under multiplex semantics for exactly
its scope: a scope miss returns None instead of the launch credential and
the parent os.environ is byte-identical afterwards;
- a routed no_agent child never sees a launch-only name, whether the launch
.env defined it or a launch external source supplied it (applied or lost
to a pre-existing process value), while its own values come through;
- administrator-managed keys keep policy precedence over the routed
profile's own value.
Everything else was either a positive control of the same seam, a
set-membership check on a module-level constant, or a re-statement through
a different entry point.
Two credential-isolation gaps found in review of the previous head.
1. strip_launch_profile_env() only knows dotenv- and terminal-config-owned names,
but external secret sources (vault, 1Password, ...) also write their names into
the shared os.environ and are tracked in secret_source_names(). A name the LAUNCH
profile's source supplied therefore still reached a routed no_agent child. Drop
every non-global source-owned name from the base; the routed scope overlay that
follows puts back exactly the ones that profile's OWN sources supply, since
build_profile_secret_scope folds get_secret_source_values(home) in.
2. refresh_installed_secret_scope() merged the rebuild with dict.update(), so a
name a source had stopped supplying -- rotated, revoked, source removed -- kept
its old value for the rest of the fire. Replace the mapping contents instead: the
rebuild is the profile's current truth.
Regressions: a routed child sees <unset> for a launch-source name while its own
source value comes through, and a refresh whose rebuild omits a name drops it.
Both fail if the corresponding change is reverted.

The desktop backend ticks EVERY local profile's cron store from one process — its own docstring
says "like a multiplex gateway" (hermes_cli/web_server.py) — but never sets the process-global
multiplex flag, and cannot: its own chat turns are unscoped and would fail closed. Every
isolation in the tree keys on that flag — the guard that keeps a routed `.env` out of the shared
`os.environ`, `get_secret`'s fail-closed miss, passthrough resolution, the MCP and kanban
subprocess scrubs — so all of it was inert for a sibling profile's fire. Verified: a secondary
profile's API keys replaced the launch profile's in `os.environ` with `override=True` and stayed
there after the tick, and a scope miss read the launch profile's tokens (#107692).
Give multiplex mode a context-local counterpart. `set_multiplex_context` (agent/secret_scope.py)
is OR'd into `is_multiplex_active()`. `_profile_cron_scope` only MARKS a fire whose home is not
the process's own (`routed_profile_fire`, decided against `get_process_hermes_home()`, the
override-immune resolver); `_install_fire_secret_scope` in cron/scheduler.py installs the
profile's hydrated secret scope and, for a marked fire, the multiplex context — for exactly that
span, dropped again before the scope by `_reset_fire_secret_scope`. Multiplex semantics are
therefore never active in cron without a scope to read: `run_one_job`'s restart-safe handoff runs
before the body's scope and keeps today's semantics (its own scope is #107413 / #106050's seam,
left untouched so this composes with whichever lands). Every existing multiplex-keyed isolation
applies inside the routed fire with no per-site patching; the launch profile's own fires and the
backend's turns keep single-profile semantics; marker and override both reach the pool worker via
`copy_context()`. `get_secret` read the raw global in its miss branch; it now goes through
`is_multiplex_active()`. The dotenv guard keeps its pinned flag-only form (#77970).
Two consequences of suppressing the write are handled rather than left as regressions:
- a `no_agent` script's env is `os.environ.copy()`, which no longer carries the routed `.env`;
the runner overlays the installed scope onto the base BEFORE sanitizing, so the same scrub /
passthrough rules apply to those values and the parent process is never mutated;
- plugin secret sources are discovered on the fire's first agent build, after the scope froze,
and the post-discovery reload is hydrate-only under multiplex semantics; the refresh now folds
the values into the installed scope in place (`refresh_installed_secret_scope`, the pattern
`_publish_env_value` already uses for `.env` writes under multiplex).
And the profile's external secret sources are hydrated before the scope is frozen, the order
gateway/run.py and the external cron worker already use.
Tests pin each direction: the marker without the semantics before the scope, the semantics on and
off exactly with it, the marker reaching a copy_context worker; the process's own profile staying
single-profile; the restart-safe handoff's child env building without raising under a routed tick
with a passthrough key registered; a real child process receiving the routed values while
`os.environ` keeps the launch value; a source registered after the freeze reaching the fire
through the real PluginManager refresh. Reverting any one direction fails a distinct test.

Some bundled CPython runtime builds strip stdlib ThreadPoolExecutor's
copy_context() propagation, so work submitted to the daemon pool runs in a
bare context. Under the multiplexed gateway this dropped the profile
secret scope in pool workers: the context-compression timeout fence
resolved auxiliary provider keys (SURPLUS_API_KEY) with
UnscopedSecretError, silently degrading LLM compression to lossy
deterministic summaries and driving re-read loops in affected sessions.
Restore stdlib semantics in submit() by snapshotting the caller's context
and running the callable inside it (a no-op re-application on runtimes
that already propagate). Mirrors the gateway's
_run_in_executor_with_context pattern.
Tests: daemon pool worker sees caller contextvars; scoped get_secret works
in a daemon-pool worker under multiplex while scoped misses still fail
closed (no env leak).
sol-reviewer round-2 IMPORTANT: relay env vars had no scope
classification, so the two readers disagreed under a multiplexed
profile scope — gateway/config.py (scope-aware getenv) dropped a
process-env GATEWAY_RELAY_URL during the scoped runner reload while
gateway/relay's relay_url()/register_relay_adapter()/self-provision
(direct os.environ reads) still saw it. Result: adapter registered but
Platform.RELAY absent from config, so the connect loop never dialed
and direct adapters stayed up. The inverse split (profile-only stamp:
config enables RELAY, registration finds no URL) was equally dead.
GATEWAY_RELAY_* ROUTING stamps (URL, ENDPOINT, ALLOW_DIRECT_PLATFORMS,
PLATFORMS, BOT_IDS, ROUTE_KEYS, INSTANCE_ID, WAKE_URL, DISPLAY_NAME)
are now in _GLOBAL_ENV_EXACT: deployment config read from os.environ
under any scope, exactly like the API_SERVER listener settings
(#69379), so every reader resolves the same value. Relay AUTH material
(SECRET, ID, DELIVERY_KEY, IDP_*) is deliberately NOT global — it
stays profile-scoped with the fail-closed multiplex guard, mirroring
the non-secret/secret line the terminal env blocklist already draws
(tools/environments/local.py).
The round-1 multiplex regression test asserted the now-rejected
semantic (profile-scoped stamps win); it is inverted to pin the
global-stamp contract: a process-env stamp survives the profile scope
(sweep runs, matching registration), and a profile-only .env stamp
does NOT activate relay.
Fixes#69379 (v2026.7.20 Docker multiplex regression: the scoped runner
reload dropped API_SERVER_* set via the container environment, silently
losing the api_server platform) by the canonical mechanism — corrects
the direction of #69524, which patched gateway/config._getenv to fall
through to os.environ on EVERY scoped miss, re-opening the
cross-profile borrow for all credentials.
API_SERVER_ENABLED / API_SERVER_HOST / API_SERVER_PORT /
API_SERVER_CORS_ORIGINS are deployment listener settings (Docker
compose environment: block, systemd Environment=), not profile
secrets: they join _GLOBAL_ENV_EXACT so get_secret reads them from
os.environ regardless of scope. API_SERVER_KEY is deliberately NOT
allowlisted — it IS a credential and stays profile-scoped, which keeps
tests/gateway/test_config.py's secondary-profile isolation semantics
intact (a secondary profile without the key still doesn't bind a
listener).
Ports #69524's regression test in the corrected form: container-env
API_SERVER_* stays visible during the scoped runner reload while the
key resolves through the profile scope; plus unit tests locking the
allowlist membership and the deliberate exclusion of API_SERVER_KEY.
Unquoted values truncate only at a # preceded by whitespace (so
KEY=foo#bar stays intact); quoted values scan escape-aware for the
matching close quote, keep through it, and drop a trailing '# ...'
remainder. Verified empirically against python-dotenv 1.2.2 on a
10-case corpus (full parity). Supersedes the approach in #57718, whose
scanner corrupted foo#bar-style values.
save_env_value writes values containing " or \ as escaped
double-quoted strings, and every other .env reader in the repo
(load_env/_parse_env_value, python-dotenv) reverses those escapes.
load_env_file — the parser behind build_profile_secret_scope, which
wraps every cron job and every multiplexed gateway turn — only stripped
the outer quotes, leaving the escapes literal. A credential containing
a double quote or backslash (JSON service-account blobs, generated
secrets) authenticates fine interactively but 401s under scoped
resolution, with no error pointing at the cause. Parse values with the
canonical _parse_env_value so all readers agree byte-for-byte.
Snapshot values applied by external secret sources per resolved HERMES_HOME so a later profile cannot replace an earlier profile scope through shared os.environ.
Keep provider and credential-pool fallback reads on the active secret scope, and fail closed on unscoped multiplex reads.

fdab380a1 wraps every cron job in a <home>/.env secret scope regardless of
deployment mode. get_secret() treats any installed scope as authoritative,
so in single-profile deployments where provider keys live only in the
process environment (systemd Environment=, pass-cli/op run wrappers, shell
exports) every cron credential read returns empty, the OpenAI client is
built with the no-key-required placeholder, and each scheduled job 401s —
while interactive turns keep working. Scope-miss reads now fall through to
os.environ when multiplexing is off; multiplexed scopes stay authoritative.

The credential gate. When multiplexing is active, a profile's secrets resolve
from a context-local scope, never the process-global os.environ (which in a
multiplexer may hold another profile's keys, and is inherited by every
subprocess spawned with env=dict(os.environ)).
- agent/secret_scope.py: get_secret() backed by a secret-scope contextvar.
FAIL-CLOSED: when multiplex is active and no scope is installed, an unscoped
read RAISES UnscopedSecretError instead of falling back to os.environ — a
missed/new call site crashes loudly at that line rather than leaking a
cross-profile value. Genuinely-global vars (HERMES_*, PATH, kanban paths,
…) keep reading os.environ via an allowlist. load_env_file/build_profile_
secret_scope parse a profile .env into an isolated dict WITHOUT mutating
os.environ. Off by default => transparent os.getenv behavior.
- hermes_cli/runtime_provider.py: all credential/provider/base-url reads go
through _getenv -> get_secret.
- agent/credential_pool.py: env fallbacks route through get_secret (the
~/.hermes/.env-first preference is preserved and already profile-correct via
the home override).
- tools/mcp_tool.py: MCP config interpolation resolves through
get_secret, so a server's picks up the routed profile's value.
- gateway/run.py: set_multiplex_active() at GatewayRunner init; per-turn .env
reload is a no-op for credentials in multiplex mode (secrets come from the
scope, not global env); _profile_runtime_scope context manager combines the
HERMES_HOME override + secret scope; _run_agent wraps _run_agent_inner in
that scope (resolved via _resolve_profile_home_for_source) when multiplexing.
Propagates into the agent worker thread for free via the existing
copy_context() in _run_in_executor_with_context.
Tests: 13 unit (fail-closed, scope isolation, global allowlist, .env parsing
without environ mutation) + 7 E2E (runtime_provider + MCP interpolation prove
two profiles isolated, unscoped read raises, globals still read environ).
