* fix: userscan tmux and zellij socket probes pass the /tmp literal check
The four lines read where tmux and zellij put their sockets (and, on macOS,
measure the user's own temp dir). The POSIX fallback for those directories
is /tmp, so the literal is the fact being probed, not a scratch path. Mark
each line so the blocking lint step in lint.yml passes.
* fix: setup-profile and start_chat RPCs no longer block the RPC reader
onboarding.ensure_setup_profile / ensure_setup_session / reset_setup_profile
can run create_profile (a skill-tree copy), state.db writes and the first
import of the setup scanner. session.start_chat creates a session and runs
prompt.submit. Inline on the reader thread they left session.interrupt and
approval.respond unread in the pipe, the failure the _LONG_HANDLERS comment
names. profiles.create was already on the list for the same reason.
* fix: userscan children run with stdin closed and the served profile's env
The /initiate-setup builder runs the user scan on a backend thread, so
every child the scan spawned inherited the JSON-RPC stdin pipe (#14036)
and the launch profile's os.environ. HostAccess.run, copy_locked and the
PowerShell batch now pass stdin=subprocess.DEVNULL, and every spawn takes
its env from HostAccess.child_env(). host_facts passes
served_profile_child_env() into the run; the standalone run.py keeps the
process env.
check_subprocess_stdin.py now scans optional-skills/: the backend loads
initiate-setup's scripts in-process. The nested-dir skip matches paths
relative to the context dir, so a skill's own scripts/ folder is in
scope. Three model-run optional-skill scripts it flagged get stdin closed.
* refactor: split the userscan spec modules over 2,000 lines by topic
Six spec modules under initiate-setup's userscan passed the 2,000-line
gate. Each keeps its shared helpers and first families; the rest move
verbatim into <stem>_<topic>.py siblings that import the helpers they
use from the base module:
apps_dev -> apps_dev_agents, apps_dev_devenv
browser_files -> browser_files_comms, browser_files_content
usage_gaming -> usage_gaming_games, usage_gaming_hardware
linux_system -> linux_system_security, linux_system_hardware
linux_apps -> linux_apps_dev, linux_apps_browser, linux_apps_files
darwin_apps -> darwin_apps_dev, darwin_apps_browser, darwin_apps_files
linux_system keeps health and usage: install_age reads usage's _wtmp and
usage reads health's _kdump_dirs. References through the ad./bf./ug.
aliases point at the module that now defines the name. specs/__init__
imports each sibling right after its base, so per-OS registration order
and the registry keys stay the same.
No behaviour change: `run.py --list` is byte-identical before and after,
and a temp-home scan under --os darwin/linux/windows gives the same fact
statuses, errors and insights.
* fix: the setup scan never patches process globals or sys.path in the backend
The /initiate-setup builder runs the user scan on a backend thread. It put
the scanner dir at sys.path[0] of the backend (so a top-level `run` or
`userscan` import anywhere resolved to the scanner), and it loaded
host.py's deny_reads_under (swaps builtins.open, io.open, sqlite3.connect
and subprocess.Popen) and override_env (rewrites os.environ HOME and
HERMES_HOME) into the backend's import graph.
- userscan/cli.py now holds override_env, the read guard, the aggregate
HostAccess and scan_accounts. Only run.py imports it; runner.run() no
longer retargets os.environ (overrides stay l0 data), and run.py applies
override_env around run() for --home and friends.
- The package uses relative imports, and host_facts loads it once per
process as initiate_setup_userscan, without touching sys.path.
Live: after an in-process scan sys.path, os.environ and the four patched
callables are unchanged and no top-level userscan module exists (before:
sys.path[0] was the scanner dir and userscan.host was importable).
`run.py --list` is unchanged; --all-users and --home give the same output.
* refactor: userscan runner runs each layer as a named phase
runner._run was one closure-heavy function at cyclomatic complexity 66.
Its state moves onto a small _Pass object whose run_l1 / run_l2 (with
_run_python_l2) / run_l3 methods each hold one layer, moved verbatim;
_run composes them and builds the output. Highest CC in the file is now
21 (run_l3).
No behaviour change: temp-home scans under --os darwin/linux/windows give
the same fact ids, statuses, methods, tiers, coverage, insights and
output keys as before.
* chore: name the setup intro flag writer, document gui_tour presets, trim media.ts
- hermes_cli/setup_profile.py::mark_seen becomes mark_intro_seen. It
writes the setup profile's intro state; agent/onboarding.py::mark_seen
flips a config.yaml hint flag, and tui_gateway uses both. The RPC name
onboarding.mark_seen is unchanged.
- tools-reference: gui_tour's `start` without `steps` runs the built-in
tour (`preset` quick or full, default full).
- apps/desktop/src/lib/media.ts: drop the blank line at EOF (git diff --check).
* docs: describe the setup chat's automatic machine scan
The scan runs without a consent step when the desktop app creates the
setup profile (the owner kept it automatic). The desktop user guide now
says where it runs (the backend's machine), what it reads (T1: counts and
categories; finer values are dropped before storage), what reaches the
model (the derived fact block in the first setup message, sent to the
setup chat's inference provider) and where the cache lives
(insights/profile.json in the setup profile's home, 0600, 24 h).
The skill's own docs page is generated from SKILL.md, which is the model's
prompt, so the user-facing text lives in the desktop guide.
* fix: overlapping setup-profile RPCs no longer race on the RPC pool
ensure_setup_profile, ensure_setup_session and reset_setup_profile moved off the reader thread, so two kickoffs could overlap: both saw no setup profile, and the losers failed on the half-made profile (5 of 6 barrier-started calls returned ENOENT), or both saw an empty setup chat and seeded it twice. One module lock restores the one-at-a-time order; the prescan stays outside it.
* fix: the Linux locale probe reads date formats in a child, not via setlocale
locale.user ran setlocale(LC_TIME) on the scan thread inside the backend. setlocale is process-wide and not thread-safe, so strftime in other session threads briefly used the user's LC_TIME. The probe now runs 'locale d_fmt t_fmt' under LC_ALL=<locale> through HostAccess.run (new env overlay on child_env), after checking 'locale -a', because locale prints C formats for a locale that is not installed.
* docs: link the setup scan from the /initiate-setup and onboarding references
The desktop guide's scan section now says which search-engine names are kept and that the scan runs in the CLI and the gateway too. The /initiate-setup row and the profile_build bullet link to it.
