An inherited HERMES_HOME can defeat a test bundle's data-directory suffix.
Older Windows installers also persisted that variable in the user registry.
This gives the app fresh UI state while its backend reads existing sessions.
Add --bundle-unset NAME, encoded as null in the existing bundle environment
object. Apply each clear as an explicit empty value before module startup.
Do not restore an explicitly empty HERMES_HOME from the Windows registry.
Ordinary defaults still preserve runtime overrides.
Verified the release parser, builder handoff, compiled startup ordering,
registry opt-out, and child environment with focused regression tests.
A native Windows probe passed with an inherited home. No MSIX was rebuilt.
Merge ethie/shared-product-builders with the CI dependency cache and native Windows setup work. Preserve UTF-8 diagnostics in the shared Python environment runner. Pass a persistent cache through isolated native staging and PM-runtime construction. Reuse one Windows prerequisite installer from source setup, native adapters, and CI, preserving Rust homes across HOME isolation.
Verified 85 targeted Python tests (5 host skips), 18 JavaScript tests, workflow validation, and scoped lint/typecheck. On native Windows ARM64, five prerequisite contracts passed and the actual shared provider reused OpenSSL, compiled its header with MSVC, and retained Rust under isolated HOME. Full signed distribution builds and live Actions cache transfer remain CI verification.
Build TUI, web, desktop UI and runnable agent products from explicit
prepared inputs. Keep dependency preparation separate from distribution
packaging, with PM and native builds sharing uv environment construction.
Docker copies compiled frontend products instead of build dependencies.
Nix retains uv2nix environments and consumes shared assembly through store
references. Native desktop and Termux use the same launcher and frontend
contracts. Preserve the independent PM runtime and source imports from
arbitrary working directories.
Keep failed frontend builds from replacing the previous product, reject
source/output overlap, and bound dependency-process output draining.
Include hermes_wisdom in the Nix wheel: real CLI smoke tests exposed its
missing package declaration on the base revision too.
Verified focused Python and JavaScript suites, Docker build/runtime checks,
Nix desktop and CLI/ACP checks, standalone TUI and packaged Electron PTY,
and real full-Chromium interaction. Native signed installers, Android device
installation and the full repository suite remain CI verification.
Keep commit admission on the trusted workflow checkout and reject mixed
release inputs before loading repository code. Stage every built product
under its commit with receipt-bound summary links, never channel writes.
Build both Windows universal bundles through the existing SDK scripts.
Keep Store calendar versions separate from sideload app versions so zero-
major app versions remain packageable. Reject invalid arguments before
modifying bundles. Bind desktop and Termux versions to the source commit,
and record Termux cache provenance without labeling commits as tags.
Verification: 77 Python tests and 36 JS tests passed. Real makeappx packed
and unpacked disposable per-arch and universal packages. Seven official
workflow-expression checks, actionlint, syntax, lint and prose passed.
No signing, installed-app update, Android build, or remote dispatch ran.
