ethernet 6756d11b5f fix(pm): ship full chromium without headless shell
Full Chromium serves both headed and headless sessions. The separate
shell duplicates the browser payload and is not needed for either mode.

Remove the shell from PM and Docker. Select the managed Chromium
executable for agent-browser and the full Chromium channel for direct
Playwright callers. Route setup through PM and remove retired packages
from cached bundle stores without changing the user's tool store.

Update signing, architecture checks, launch probes and install guidance.
Leave llama packages and Docker archive cleanup unchanged.

Verification:
- Real agent-browser navigation, clicks, DOM reads and screenshots pass
  in headed and headless modes with the same Chromium executable.
- The direct Playwright doctor probe passes.
- Focused Python and desktop packaging tests pass, as do six Docker
  checks and both real-browser task-scroll tests.
- The built linux/amd64 image is 1.393 GB compressed, 223.6 MB smaller.
- The broader PM suite and two unrelated setup tests still fail.
  Those failures reproduce on unchanged HEAD.
- Five updated eval scripts parse; their full scenarios were not run.

# drifted to 0.11.6 while pm/lock.json pinned uv 0.12.3. That is exactly
# the two-authorities failure the pm design exists to end. The image is now
# a pin consumer: the stdlib-only pm provisioner reads pm/lock.json and
# stages the pinned uv + full Chromium (sha256-verified at
# download — the same code path pm.sh/pm.ps1 and the desktop payload use)
# into the image's own runtime dir, a self-contained store baked under
# /opt/hermes, outside the /opt/data volume so it survives the overlay.
# The pinned uv is linked onto PATH so the `uv sync` / `uv pip install`
# build steps below run the lockfile's uv, not a second download.
#
# Full Chromium supports both headed and headless sessions. It is staged
# here rather than by `npx playwright install`,
# which fetched whatever revision the npm-resolved playwright wanted,
# unverified, and recorded no fact. The resolved browser binary path is
# baked to /etc/hermes/agent-browser-executable-path for stage2-hook.sh:
# the layout differs per arch (chrome-linux64/chrome on amd64,
# chromium-linux-arm64/chromium on arm64), so it is resolved at build time

#
# README.md is referenced by pyproject.toml's `readme =` field, but it's

# frontend stats the readme path during dep resolution, so we `touch` an

#

# installs the deps reachable through the composite `[all]` extra
# (handpicked set intended for the production image — excludes `[dev]`),
# plus gateway messaging adapters that should work in the published image
# without a first-boot lazy install. We do NOT use `--all-extras`:
# that would pull in `[rl]` (atroposlib + tinker + torch + wandb from
# git) and `[yc-bench]` (another git dep), neither of which belongs in
# the published container.
#
# Provider packages (anthropic, bedrock, azure-identity) are included
# so Docker users can use these providers without requiring runtime
# lazy-install access to PyPI (often blocked in containerized envs).
#
# The [otlp] extra contains the SDK/exporter imported by Hermes when Gateway
# Health export is enabled. Collector and observability-backend dependencies
# remain external and are not part of the Hermes production image.
#
# The hindsight memory provider's client (hindsight-client) is baked in
# for the same reason: it lazy-installs into /opt/hermes/.venv at first
# use, which lives inside the (immutable) image layer rather than the
# mounted /opt/data volume, so it is lost on every container recreate /
# image update and recall/retain then fails with
# `ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'hindsight_client'` (#38128).
#
# The Matrix gateway's deps ([matrix] extra) are baked in because
# python-olm (transitive via mautrix[encryption]) builds from source on
# Python/image combinations without usable wheels. The Docker image is
# Linux-only, so keeping the native libolm/build-toolchain packages here
# avoids the cross-platform failures that kept [matrix] out of [all]

# The ``.install_method`` stamp is baked next to the running code (the install
# tree), NOT into $HERMES_HOME. $HERMES_HOME (/opt/data) is a shared data
# volume that is commonly bind-mounted from the host and even shared with a
# host-side Desktop/CLI install; stamping it at boot used to clobber that
# host install's marker and wrongly block its ``hermes update``. A code-scoped
# stamp is read first by detect_install_method() and is immune to the share.
# Start as root so the s6-overlay stage2 hook can usermod/groupmod and chown
# the data volume. Each supervised service then drops to the hermes user via
# `s6-setuidgid hermes` in its run script. If HERMES_UID is unset, services
# run as the default hermes user (UID 10000).
# ---------- Image provenance + install stamp ----------
# CI (.github/workflows/docker.yml) runs scripts/write_install_stamp.py
# before `docker build`, so the bulk `COPY . .` above already placed a
# full-provenance /opt/hermes/install-stamp.json next to the code.
# .dockerignore excludes .git, so the stamp is the only commit channel the
# image carries: hermes_cli/version_info.py reads it at runtime (stamp
# first, live git second, unknown third), and both `hermes dump` and
# banner.get_git_banner_state() consume it through version_info.
#
# A local `docker build` without CI gets the minimal all-zero fallback
# stamp below; version_info skips the placeholder commit, so dump honestly
# reports "(unknown)". updateMechanism is `external`: the image is rebuilt
# and re-pulled, it never updates itself.
#
# The versioned, non-secret provenance marker is the authoritative runtime
# signal that this filesystem came from an immutable image. It deliberately
# lives outside both /opt/hermes (which operators sometimes bind-mount as a
# checkout) and /opt/data (the mutable HERMES_HOME volume). Its `revision`
# is read from the install stamp; the fallback stamp's all-zero commit maps
# to null.

# Point the TUI launcher at the prebuilt bundle baked at build time (Layer 8:
# `ui-tui && npm run build`). This makes _make_tui_argv take the prebuilt-bundle
# fast path (`node --expose-gc /opt/hermes/ui-tui/dist/entry.js`) and skip the
# _tui_need_npm_install / runtime `npm install` branch entirely — exactly the
# nix/packaged-release path the launcher was designed for.
#
# Why this is required (not just an optimization): the root package-lock.json
# describes the WHOLE monorepo workspace set (root + web + ui-tui + apps/*),
# but the image only installs root/web/ui-tui (apps/* — the desktop app — is
# never `npm install`ed here). So the actualized node_modules permanently
# disagrees with the canonical lock, _tui_need_npm_install() returns True on
# every launch, and the runtime `npm install` it triggers (a) can never
# converge against the partial monorepo and (b) races itself across concurrent
# embedded-chat (/api/pty) connections → ENOTEMPTY → the chat tab dies with a
# 502 / "[session ended]". Pointing at the prebuilt bundle sidesteps the whole
# check. (A separate launcher hardening is tracked independently.)

# The shim lives at /opt/hermes/bin/hermes, sits earliest on PATH, and
# transparently re-exec's the real venv binary via `s6-setuidgid hermes`
# when invoked as root. Non-root callers (supervised processes,
# `--user hermes`, etc.) hit the short-circuit path with no overhead.
# Recursion is impossible because the shim exec's the venv binary by
# absolute path (/opt/hermes/.venv/bin/hermes). See the shim source for
# the opt-out env var (HERMES_DOCKER_EXEC_AS_ROOT=1).

# bin globally so `docker exec <container> hermes ...` and any
# subprocess that doesn't activate the venv first still find hermes.
#
# /opt/hermes/bin is prepended ahead of the venv so the privilege-drop

# The image ENTRYPOINT is a tiny dispatcher rather than `/init` directly.
# When the image really owns PID 1 (normal Docker / Podman), the dispatcher
# execs `/init` and preserves the full s6 supervision tree. When a platform
# wraps the image entrypoint under its own PID-1 init (Fly Machines,
# `docker run --init`, some schedulers), `/init` would abort with
# `can only run as pid 1`; in that case the dispatcher falls back to
# `stage2-hook.sh` + `main-wrapper.sh` directly so foreground commands still
# work. See #38349.
#
# On the PID-1 path, s6-overlay's /init sets up the supervision tree, runs
# /etc/cont-init.d/* (our stage2 hook), starts s6-rc services declared in
# /etc/s6-overlay/s6-rc.d/, then exec's its remaining argv as the container's
# "main program" with stdin/stdout/stderr inherited (this is what makes
# interactive --tui work). When the main program exits, /init begins stage 3
# shutdown and the container exits with the program's exit code. Replaces
# tini — see Phase 2 of docs/plans/2026-05-07-s6-overlay-dynamic-subagent-gateways.md.
#
# We use the ENTRYPOINT+CMD split rather than CMD alone so the
# wrapper is prepended to user-supplied args automatically:
#
# docker run <image> → entrypoint-dispatch.sh (CMD default)
# docker run <image> chat -q "hi" → entrypoint-dispatch.sh chat -q hi
# docker run <image> sleep infinity → entrypoint-dispatch.sh sleep infinity
# docker run <image> --tui → entrypoint-dispatch.sh --tui
#
# main-wrapper.sh handles arg routing (bare-exec vs. hermes
# subcommand vs. no-args), drops to the hermes user via s6-setuidgid,
# and exec's the final program so its exit code becomes the container
# exit code. The dispatcher preserves that contract across both the
# supervised PID-1 path and the non-PID-1 fallback path. Without the
# wrapper-as-ENTRYPOINT, leading-dash args like `--version` would be
# intercepted by /init's POSIX shell.
