hermes-agent/hermes_cli/linux_desktop_entry.py

"""Install and remove the Linux desktop entry (``hermes.desktop``).

``hermes desktop`` builds and launches the Electron app. On Linux, a
freshly-built app has no launcher presence: no menu item, no icon. This
module writes the XDG desktop entry that gives it one.
``hermes uninstall --gui`` removes the entry again.

Two values must be absolute for the entry to work:

  - ``Exec`` — the launcher runs without shell ``PATH`` customizations, so
    a bare ``hermes desktop`` fails when hermes lives in ``~/.local/bin``
    or a venv. Resolve the real binary and write its full path.
  - ``Icon`` — an unqualified icon name needs an indexed icon theme. The
    spec allows an absolute path instead, so point at the app icon in the
    checkout. Do not copy the icon: ``Exec`` already depends on that tree.

Cache refresh is best-effort and tool-gated: ``update-desktop-database``
for the freedesktop menu cache, and ``kbuildsycoca6``/``kbuildsycoca5``
for Plasma. Run each tool only when it exists. A missing tool is not an
error.

Import-light and side-effect-free at import time: the uninstaller and the
Electron main process both use this without loading the full CLI.
