The static py-modules list in pyproject.toml drifted from the source
tree each time the root layout changed. An installed wheel then
raised ModuleNotFoundError on import: hermes_state_common, and every
gateway or CLI start failed. The list missed hermes_state_holders,
mini_swe_runner, and the 15 new hermes_state_* modules from this
branch.
setup.py now derives py_modules from the source tree at build time.
setuptools package discovery sees only directories with an
__init__.py, so root single-file modules need py_modules in every
wheel build. setup() kwargs merge with pyproject.toml, and setup.py
is the only legitimate wheel or sdist builder, so the derived list is
the single source of truth.
The nix build is the only wheel consumer. Its source filter keeps
every root .py file, so the build sandbox derives the same set as the
checkout. Editable installs do not read py_modules: build_editable
never runs bdist_wheel.
Verified: wheel and sdist built with HERMES_NIX_BUILD=1 carry all 38
root modules. The guard still blocks builds without the nix env var.
The sealed uv2nix venv from nix build .#default imports
hermes_state_holders, hermes_state_sessions, mini_swe_runner, and
hermes_startup_watchdog.
(cherry picked from commit e23d467b52)
Invariant test updated to pin the derived list (no static py-modules; every root module packaged code imports ships).
Removes Homebrew and PyPI wheel/sdist as Hermes distribution paths while
preserving the supported source, Docker, and Nix workflows.
Changes:
- Removes the Homebrew formula, PyPI publish workflow, sdist manifest
(MANIFEST.in), and wheel/sdist release-attachment logic from scripts/release.py.
- Keeps setuptools metadata and entry points required by editable installs
and Docker/Nix builds, but adds a setup.py guard that rejects wheel/sdist
builds outside a sealed Nix derivation (HERMES_NIX_BUILD=1).
- Removes pip/Homebrew install detection, PyPI update checks, the pip
self-update path, the deprecation-banner state, the postinstall subcommand,
wheel data-directory fallbacks in agent/i18n.py and hermes_constants.py,
and the ACP Registry manifest/version-lockstep release logic.
- Adds /nix/store/ path detection so `nix run` / `nix profile install`
installs (which don't set HERMES_MANAGED) are correctly identified as
"nix" rather than falling through to "git"/"unknown".
- Retired install-method values ("pip", "homebrew") in existing
.install_method stamps (both code-scoped and home-scoped) are ignored by
the allowlist reader and fall through to "unknown" instead of resurrecting
a retired enum value.
- Updates Nix packaging to ship bare runtime data (locales, optional-mcps)
through store symlinks and wrapper env vars instead of wheel data-files.
- Removes the ACP Registry manifest/icon and their version-lockstep tests.
- Deletes or rewrites packaging, pip-update, Homebrew, and ACP Registry
tests; adds parametrized coverage for the packaging build guard covering
BOTH sdist and wheel paths (the guards live in separate cmdclass entries
— a passing sdist test proves nothing about the wheel path).
- Updates installation/platform documentation and related user-facing copy.
- Adjusts the supply-chain scan so deleted install-hook files do not trigger
a finding, while additions or modifications still require the existing
ci-reviewed label gate.
Supported installation paths (unchanged):
- git installer (install.sh)
- Docker
- Nix/NixOS
- editable development installs (uv sync, uv pip install -e ., pip install -e .)
Salvages #23738 by @LeonSGP43. Wheel installs were missing skills/ and
optional-skills/ because pyproject's [tool.setuptools.packages.find]
only includes Python packages — the skills directories don't have
__init__.py so they were silently dropped from the wheel.
Adds setup.py with data_files spec emitting skills/* and optional-skills/*
under hermes_agent-<v>.data/data/, and a get_bundled_skills_dir() helper
in hermes_constants that discovers the wheel-installed location via
sysconfig before falling back to a source-checkout path. tools/skills_sync
uses the helper so 'hermes update' works for pip-installed users.
