Catalog policy (Teknium): a listed plugin extends Hermes only through public
surfaces. A plugin that replaces core functions, methods or Desktop UI in place
collides with every other plugin patching the same seam and breaks on any core
release.
- New `no core override` admission check (hermes_cli/plugin_validate_core_override.py):
static taint pass over the import closure of __init__.py and dashboard/*.py.
Core values are Hermes modules (plus hermes_plugins.*) and attribute chains off
them, reached by import, importlib/sys.modules lookups, getattr, iteration, or a
plugin helper that returns one. Rebinds are attribute assignment/deletion,
setattr/delattr, sys.modules writes, writes into a core module's tables,
mock.patch, and passing a core value to a helper that setattr's its parameter.
Tests, benchmarks and CI/smoke scripts outside the import closure are not judged.
- Desktop lint: new `app DOM reach` rule (document-level queries of the app's own
data-slot/data-tour/data-sidebar/data-testid markup, and document.body
childList/subtree MutationObservers).
- Desktop lint bug: the comment stripper did not skip string literals, so a string
holding `/*` (a glob like '**/*.md') opened a fake comment and hid every line up
to the next `*/` from all rules. Strings are now matched first and kept.
- README rule 9, the plugin-catalog user guide and the plugin developer guide's
compatibility contract state the rule.
A/B over 466 pinned trees (121 open catalog PR entries + 349 listed entries +
humalike): the new checks flag exactly the hand-verified overrides; zero crashes;
no previously reported Desktop finding disappears.
