Salvage follow-up to #107955 (Alex Tu) and #109494 (EloquentBrush0x):
- _default_profile_secret_scope: drop the import try/except, the
current_secret_scope() short-circuit and the build-failure fallthrough.
The tick always runs in a fresh Context (no scope can be present) and a
failure to build the launch profile scope must surface, not silently
degrade to an unscoped tick.
- Regression test proven red on origin/main: run the real
auto_decompose_tick through _to_thread_process_service under multiplex
and assert the decomposer reads the launch profile .env value; ports the
contract from #57837 (srojk34) to the post-refactor dispatcher.
- Trim the #109494 test docstring to the invariant.
_default_spawn() called build_subprocess_env(scrub_secrets=is_multiplex_active())
with no profile secret scope installed. Under multiplex, any name registered via
terminal.env_passthrough makes _filter_secret_env's resolve_passthrough_value()
call get_secret() with no scope active, which fails closed with
UnscopedSecretError -- crashing every Kanban worker spawn, for every profile, as
soon as env_passthrough is configured anywhere.
Mirror _resolve_worker_cli_toolsets's existing scope-then-read ordering a few
functions up in the same file: resolve the assignee's HERMES_HOME first, install
build_profile_secret_scope() around the env build, then set env["HERMES_HOME"]
from the value already resolved instead of calling resolve_profile_env() twice.

`hermes -t web chat` silently dropped the toolset filter (and the same
hold true for `-m`, `--provider`, `--tui`, `--dev` placed before
`chat`). Reported in #28780 for `-t/--toolsets`; the others are sibling
failures with the same root cause.
Root cause: the chat subparser re-declared these flags with `default=None`
(or `default=False` for store_true) on top of the matching top-level
parser flags. When argparse dispatches into the subparser it shares the
namespace via `dest`, so the subparser's default overwrites whatever the
top-level parser parsed before the subcommand. `-s/--skills`, `-r/-c/-w`,
`--yolo`, and `--pass-session-id` already use `default=argparse.SUPPRESS`
for exactly this reason — the chat-subparser action becomes a no-op
unless the user explicitly passes the flag after `chat`, and the parent
value survives.
Reproduction (origin/main, before fix):
>>> parser.parse_known_args(["-t", "web", "chat"]).toolsets
None
>>> parser.parse_known_args(["chat", "-t", "web"]).toolsets
'web'
After fix:
>>> parser.parse_known_args(["-t", "web", "chat"]).toolsets
'web'
>>> parser.parse_known_args(["chat", "-t", "web"]).toolsets
'web'
Sibling flags fixed in the same commit because they share the exact same
argparse pattern bug — verified via a new contract test that scans every
chat-subparser action whose `dest` is also on the top-level parser and
asserts `default is argparse.SUPPRESS`. The test fails on origin/main
listing all five offenders and passes after this fix.
Test additions in tests/hermes_cli/test_argparse_flag_propagation.py:
- TestChatSubparserInheritedValueFlags exercising real `_parser` build
(not the hand-rolled replica) so it catches future drift.
- Parametrized before-chat / after-chat cases for `-t`, `--toolsets`,
`-m`, `--model`, `--provider`.
- Negative case: passing none of the flags leaves attrs at the top-level
parser's `None` default (SUPPRESS does not remove existing attrs).
- Combined case: all three value flags before `chat` simultaneously.
- store_true cases for `--tui` / `--dev`.
- Contract test asserting every shared-`dest` flag on chat uses SUPPRESS.
Fixes#28780.
An inherited HERMES_TUI=1 or a `display.interface: tui` config default sent
kanban workers into the Ink TUI, whose no-TTY bail-out exits 0 without doing
the task — every attempt ended in "protocol violation". Two layers:
- _default_spawn pins `--cli` (highest-precedence interface flag) and strips
HERMES_TUI from the child env (covers older builds on PATH).
- _resolve_use_tui gates ambient TUI prefs (env/config) behind a real TTY;
an explicit --tui still wins so the informative bail-out stays reachable.
