The seventeen remaining literals are container-side paths, AF_UNIX socket-path-limit
candidates on darwin, detection needles, guard regexes and guidance text that tells the
model to avoid /tmp. Each carries an inline `no-tmp: ok — <why>` so the reason lives
next to the line; the baseline keeps only a fenced tree listing where a marker would render.
The tracked-item delete path in quick() called shutil.rmtree() on any tracked
directory without consulting the protection list, which only the empty-dir
sweep used. guess_category() files every path under cache/ as "temp", so a
terminal command that merely mentioned $HERMES_HOME/cache tracked the
directory itself, and 7 days later quick() removed cache/ wholesale — taking
cache/terminal (terminal snapshots) with it and breaking every later command
with a mktemp "No such file or directory".
Fix: _is_protected_dir() — a tracked DIRECTORY that is HERMES_HOME itself or
sits under an _EMPTY_DIR_PROTECTED_TOP_LEVEL tree is never tracked by
guess_category(), never listed by dry_run(), and skipped (logged SKIPPED,
entry dropped) by quick(). Files under cache/ still age out as before.
kanban/ (task attachments and workspaces have their own lifecycle) is added to
both _NEVER_TRACK_TOP_LEVEL and _EMPTY_DIR_PROTECTED_TOP_LEVEL; stale pre-fix
"test" entries under it are dropped by the existing re-validation instead of
deleted. The kanban row was first proposed in #80842 (@nicha16).
Fixes#114552
Extends the salvaged #112860 entry (`workspace`) to the whole class: `plans` and
`home` are bootstrapped alongside `workspace` by `hermes_cli/profiles.py::_PROFILE_DIRS`
and listed as user data in `profile_distribution.py::USER_OWNED_EXCLUDE`, so a
`test_*`/`tmp_*` file inside any of them is a user's file, never scratch.
Trims the contributor's five tests to two invariants: the end-to-end
post_tool_call -> on_session_end path (workspace file survives, a root-level
`tmp_scratch.py` control is still removed) and the empty-dir sweep leaving a
directory under `workspace/` alone. Documents the protected trees in the plugin
README and the built-in-plugins page.
Dropped: test_workspace_project_tree_never_tracked, test_quick_keeps_workspace_test_file,
test_root_level_test_file_still_auto_deleted (folded into the E2E test as its control).
Part of #112859.
The original name was cute but non-obvious; disk-cleanup says what it
does. Plugin directory, script, state path, log lines, slash command,
and test module all renamed. No user-visible state exists yet, so no
migration path is needed.
New website page "Built-in Plugins" documents the <repo>/plugins/<name>/
source, how discovery interacts with user/project plugins, the
HERMES_DISABLE_BUNDLED_PLUGINS escape hatch, disk-cleanup's hook
behaviour and deletion rules, and guidance on when a plugin belongs
bundled vs. user-installable. Added to the Features → Core sidebar next
to the main Plugins page, with a cross-reference from plugins.md.
