A long-lived serve process keeps a deleted profile as the context home of threads
that outlive the delete. A bare `mkdir(parents=True)` right before an atomic write
brings `profiles/<name>/` back after `hermes profile delete` has written the
tombstone and removed the tree.
The writers in `utils` and the seven callers named in #112592 are guarded by the
preceding commits; this one applies the same `mkdir_under_hermes_home` idiom to the
other pre-write directory creations found by the same mechanical rule (auth,
personality, plugin catalog, skills sync, tool discovery cache, platform adapters,
memory plugins, local runtime supervisor, process identity, breadcrumbs). The two
sites that pass `mode=` keep their mkdir behind `assert_named_profile_home_live`.
The guard is a no-op unless the target has a provable `profiles/<name>` ancestor.
Salvaged from #112596 (30-file sweep) on top of #112594 / #112601; the overlapping
files were resolved to the already-landed versions.
DEFAULT_CONFIG ships a root-level `personalities: {}` (from #643) and the schema
whitelists it, but the single personality resolver read only
`agent.personalities`. A user who followed the generated config saw
"No personalities configured" from /personality on CLI, gateway and TUI.
`available_personalities()` now merges root `personalities` then
`agent.personalities` (later wins), so all three consumers pick both up.
Earlier attempt: PR #9657 (@flobo3) patched the CLI loader only.
Fixes#9636
Personality persistence used to be split per surface: the TUI/desktop wrote
the NAME to display.personality while the CLI/gateway wrote rendered TEXT
into agent.system_prompt (and their /personality none only blanked the
text, leaving the name behind). When #81946 made display.personality
authoritative everywhere, stale names written long ago resurrected
personalities users had turned off - kawaii defaulting on after updating.
- hermes_cli/personality.py: new single owner of personality state.
Built-in personality definitions, neutral-name normalization, rendering,
availability (built-ins overlaid by agent.personalities), overlay
resolution, and the ONLY sanctioned persistence path
(persist_personality -> display.personality; never agent.system_prompt).
- v34 config migration: one-time reset of display.personality to none
(announcing which personality was cleared and how to re-enable), plus a
scrub of agent.system_prompt when it verbatim-equals a known personality
render (machine-written by the old CLI/gateway). Hand-written manual
prompts are never touched.
- All surfaces rewired through the module: CLI /personality (incl. active
marker in the list), gateway /personality, TUI config.set + slash path
(which previously applied without persisting), TUI config.get (reports
the EFFECTIVE personality), completer, hermes config display, and the
tui_gateway health probe.
- cli.py/config duplicates removed: built-ins now defined once; the
desktop mirrors them from one lib module (src/lib/personalities.ts).
- Docs updated: selection lives in display.personality, built-ins always
available, one-time reset note.
