Resolved toward the branch: PM provisions uv/python (main's install.ps1 uv-shim
salvage + its test and workflow steps dropped), the shim re-exec stays retired,
package.json carries no electron-builder block (afterExtract identity stamp wired
into electron-builder.config.cjs instead; after-pack.mjs keeps signing only),
Desktop workspace-deps helpers stay retired. Main's scratch-dir bootstrap
(export_scratch_tmp_env) is taken and re-run after profile resolution.
Hand-written docs and the generated per-skill mirror pages now show the same
scratch locations the skills and prompts do (~/.hermes/cache/scratch,
$TMPDIR, $HOME/.hermes/cache/scratch/<throwaway-home>) instead of /tmp, and
examples that only needed a placeholder use /path/to/... The mirror pages were
updated in place rather than regenerated: regenerating from the current sources
produces a 200-file unrelated diff (Windows backslash paths, removed skills).
Literals that describe /tmp itself stay and carry a no-tmp marker: the
sandbox tmpfs configuration, the disk-cleanup plugin's scope, the WSL feature
list, the terminal.temp_dir rationale, the Nix container's writable layer and
the Docker Compose in-container pulse-cookie path. One tree-listing line in
nix-setup.md stays unmarked (a marker would render inside the code block).
The warn-once reporter added for hooks (and for PluginManager.invoke_middleware)
left the execution chain out: hermes_cli/middleware.py::_run_execution_chain — the
tool_execution / llm_execution frames that run once per tool or LLM call — still
logged "Middleware '%s' callback %s raised" at WARNING on every invocation. A
mis-declared callback (e.g. a signature naming tool_data) therefore flooded the
log exactly like the hook case #111922 reported: 5 calls -> 5 WARNING lines.
Route the frame's except through the manager's _report_hook_failure with the
"Middleware" surface label, so the first failure warns (listing the fields the
middleware does provide) and identical repeats go to DEBUG; the set is already
forgotten on plugin reload. The frame's skip-and-continue semantics are unchanged.
Part of #111922
docs/ was not the documentation site; it was a grab bag of long-form
design notes, wire contracts and observability guides that landed with
feature PRs because their authors needed somewhere to put them. Root
AGENTS.md already says long-form dev docs live in
website/docs/developer-guide/; this moves the 14 living documents there
(or to the matching user-guide section) so they are published, searchable
and linked from the sidebar instead of being found by grep only.
Developer guide: micro-compaction, gateway-session-lifecycle (was
session-lifecycle), state-db-recovery, multiplexing-gateway,
chronos-managed-cron-contract, relay-connector-contract, observer-hooks
(was observability/README), gateway-monitoring (observability/monitoring),
relay-shared-metrics, middleware, streaming-tts, billing-lifecycle.
User guide: egress/network-isolation (was security/network-egress-
isolation), features/kanban-multi-gateway (was kanban/multi-gateway).
Each page got title/description frontmatter and a sidebar entry; repo-
relative links became site links or GitHub blob URLs; two MDX brace
hazards escaped. Every in-tree pointer (module docstrings, config
comments, the relay conformance test's Path, the monitoring-doc test,
gateway-internals, cron-internals, kanban docs, .dockerignore, AGENTS.md)
now names the new location. `docusaurus build` passes with no unresolved
links on the moved pages.
