Competing installers and checkout-local venv assumptions bypassed PM
selection, install consent, and generation lifetimes. Route consumers
through PM and installation-bound launchers. Refresh source launchers
before obsolete Python entries can be collected.
Remove Node, browser, and CUA acquisition engines, obsolete venv-holder
handling, detached sync, and unused PM APIs. Keep historical updater
exports inert and preserve external tool ownership and native integration.
Share product freshness and prepared inputs across builders. Align plugin
admission, Docker provisioning, setup instructions, and behavioral tests.
Verified targeted Python and JavaScript tests, desktop and web typechecks,
scoped lint, real product builds, and the Docker frontend smoke test.
The missed post-setup test cleanup is included and verified.
Native Windows/macOS execution, full Rust compilation, and the complete
repository suite remain unverified. Historical compatibility requirements
were preserved and extended, not fully rescanned.
- scripts/validate_plugin_catalog.py: standalone stdlib+pyyaml structural
validator for plugin-catalog entries and removed.yaml (no hermes install
needed; runtime twin of hermes_cli/plugin_catalog.py). --json support,
unknown top-level keys warn instead of failing for forward compat.
- .github/actions/plugin-validate: composite action plugin authors drop
into their own repo's CI — installs hermes-agent from a chosen ref and
runs 'hermes plugins validate <path>'.
- .github/workflows/plugin-catalog-ci.yml: admission gate on PRs touching
plugin-catalog/** — structural job plus pinned-source job that clones
each changed entry's repo, hard-fails on unreachable pinned sha
(supply-chain gate), and validates the plugin at that exact commit.
