post_update._install_root, boot_bootstrap.default_project_root,
update_channel._default_root, version_info._CODE_ROOT + _resolve_stamp_file,
_launchers.publish_launchers and pm.runtime each re-derived "HERMES_INSTALL_ROOT
or the code root". pm.paths.install_root() is the one place now; pm.store reuses
the downloader's User-Agent instead of carrying a second one.
Use the exact target root and profile for branch, release, and cache decisions. Keep the desktop as a transport and handoff adapter. Remove the competing TypeScript checker and switch the banner, dashboard, and updater count consumers.
Preserve fork origins, unknown counts, publication checks, old-probe recovery, and official SSH branch healing through public HTTPS. Keep the historical unstamped-root policy unchanged.
Use the build stamp to refuse CLI, backend, and desktop updates. Keep release channels fixed for packaged clients and report the client version independently of a remote backend. Check source release channels against their published release identity.
