The minted launchers wired venv site-packages onto sys.path with a raw
insert (win32 wrapper) / PYTHONPATH (posix), neither of which runs .pth
files. pywin32.pth is load-bearing on Windows: it puts win32\lib on
sys.path, which is what makes 'import pywintypes' resolve — without it
portalocker's Win32Locker dies and concurrent-log-handler silently drops
every file-log record on Windows bundles.
* launcher_wrapper.py: site.addsitedir() for the site entry (repo first,
site directly after, .pth dirs last)
* launchers.py posix: same via HERMES_SITE env in the -c bootstrap
* pm/environment.py: prune_site_pth() drops _virtualenv.pth and the
__editable__ pointer (build-machine path) that must never run in a
sealed payload
* python_env.py: run the prune after every environment build
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.
