Electron safeStorage parks a per-app key ('Hermes Key') in the macOS login
keychain; on machines with a locked/missing/corrupted default keychain that
turned every Hermes Desktop launch into a blocking 'Keychain Not Found' /
password dialog. Keychain-backed encryption is now an explicit opt-in:
- electron/secret-storage-policy.ts: standalone policy seam (default OFF,
strict === true coercion, one-shot migration flag) + unit tests
- default path never calls any safeStorage API (including
isEncryptionAvailable, which itself touches the keychain)
- one-shot legacy migration decrypts existing safeStorage blobs to plain
0600 files at first launch; undecryptable blobs are kept but read as
absent afterward (classify 'drop') so a dead keychain prompts at most once
- Settings -> Gateway toggle (all 5 locales) re-encodes every stored secret
store in place when flipped (v1 connection.json, v2 connections.json,
native-oauth-tokens.json)
- e2e: at-rest spec now covers both postures (opted-in unchanged contract,
default saves without secure storage, owner-only bits, restart round-trip)
- docs: multi-connection-desktop + desktop-native-signin updated
Website
This website is built using Docusaurus, a modern static website generator.
Installation
yarn
Local Development
yarn start
This command starts a local development server and opens up a browser window. Most changes are reflected live without having to restart the server.
Build
yarn build
This command generates static content into the build directory and can be served using any static contents hosting service.
Deployment
Using SSH:
USE_SSH=true yarn deploy
Not using SSH:
GIT_USER=<Your GitHub username> yarn deploy
If you are using GitHub pages for hosting, this command is a convenient way to build the website and push to the gh-pages branch.
Diagram Linting
CI runs ascii-guard to lint docs for ASCII box diagrams. Use Mermaid (````mermaid`) or plain lists/tables instead of ASCII boxes to avoid CI failures.
