A bare version request lets uv pick an emulated x86_64 CPython on
Windows arm64 hosts ("support for the native architecture (aarch64) is
not yet mature"). The bootstrap interpreter then ran as win-amd64.
Request cpython-<minor>-windows-<arch>-none from the machine
architecture the scripts already detect, in install.ps1,
setup-hermes.ps1 and setup-hermes.sh (win32 only; POSIX keeps the bare
version so uv still picks the right libc variant).
install.ps1 now passes --no-registry to `uv python install` (the review fix that
keeps a registry Python from satisfying the request); the exact-argv contract
moves with it. Both scripts pass under Windows PowerShell 5.1 on a Win11 arm64 host.
The installer ladder stopped at node-deps/path/desktop with its own
semantics while an update ran launchers, product builds and post-build
maintenance, so a fresh install and a finished update ended in different
states: after re-running the installer at HEAD the products had no receipts
and the read-only source acceptance failed.
hermes_cli/source_completion.py now owns that tail -- publish launchers,
build the products, run the maintenance -- and update_completion's
_complete_selected calls it, so there is one implementation. install.sh and
install.ps1 keep the bootstrap stages (prerequisites, repository, venv,
python-deps, config) and hand off to it in a single `products` stage;
--include-desktop selects the desktop product inside that stage instead of
adding a second build stage, and `desktop` stays dispatchable via --stage for
external callers.
Windows keeps its installer-owned PATH publication (expose_cli answers
"windows-installer-owned" on Windows) plus the packaged-artifact probe, ACL
grant and shortcuts. The desktop stage no longer pre-syncs wake/voice: pm
lazy-installs them at first use, as the update path does.
Normalize 8.3 paths before stage dispatch and support read-only resolved-path output. Dot-sourcing loads definitions without running the installer. Test the PM delegation contract instead of restoring the removed Node installer.
Use native environment layouts in PM and Hindsight tests. Give steering-test parents no database so child construction cannot create SQLite files at mock paths. Parent verification passed 145 Python tests with one skip and all native PowerShell path, delegation, and stage checks.
