Summary

HERMES-AGENT-ONLY 20-Agent Fix Swarm Wave A — MAJOR turnaround on the v0.13 deferral.

Wave A2 confirmed pip install -e . SUCCEEDS on Windows for v2026.5.7. Wave A3 (re-run) confirmed 330/375 modules import cleanly. Two real Windows blockers exist upstream — but the core agent runtime + MCP + redaction defaults work natively.

This PR ships the Hermes3D-side env-switch infrastructure so an operator can flip canary ↔ production with a single env var. Production stays v0.12 by default; canary is opt-in via HERMES_AGENT_CHECKOUT.

Key fixes (Wave A4 + A5 combined)

  • A5 hazard: DEFAULT_CHECKOUT was captured at module-import; env flip mid-process did NOT propagate without restart. Fix: _repo_path() now calls a per-call resolver.
  • A4 hazard: 3 sister sites hard-coded the production path. Fix: all 3 import the resolver.
  • New services/agent_checkout.py — single-source-of-truth resolver

Tests added (11/11 pass)

  • Default = production v0.12 (zero behavior change when env unset)
  • Canary override flips to v0.13 path
  • Wave A5 critical pin: per-call env flip mid-process propagates (no module-import freeze)
  • A5 pin: hermes_agent_checkout NOT wrapped in @lru_cache
  • A4 critical: agent_updates._repo_path uses resolver per-call
  • Source-level pins: agent_updates + 3 sister sites all import the resolver
  • Production path unchanged when env unset

Verification

  • py_compile: OK on all 5 source files
  • Focused tests: 11/11 pass
  • Adjacent regression (agent_updates + agent_checkout + recovery_ledger + apply_patch): 70/70 pass (1 POSIX-skip)
  • Pre-push hook: passed
  • CI on PR

Production safety

  • Default behavior byte-identical to today
  • Canary requires operator opt-in via HERMES_AGENT_CHECKOUT
  • Production checkout at G:/Github/hermes-agent-fresh untouched
  • Canary checkout at G:/Github/hermes-agent-v013-canary stood up by Wave A2

Swarm provenance

  • A1: candidate-SHA-found (corrected Wave 1 verdict via workflow_id-grouped query — 39/100 main Tests runs green; Wave 1's "0/100" was a query artifact)
  • A2: canary install OK on Windows at v2026.5.7
  • A3 re-run: 330/375 modules pass; only 2 real Windows blockers (1 by-design, 1 fixable upstream by 1-line guard)
  • A4 + A5 combined → THIS PR
  • Per swarm rule "stop launching when fix found" — Waves B/C/D NOT launched

Follow-ups

  • Upstream PR to NousResearch/hermes-agent: add if sys.platform != "win32": guard at tui_gateway/entry.py:143-145 around signal.SIGPIPE/SIGHUP (1-line fix unblocks 100% of v0.13 on native Windows)
  • Wave B Docker proof lane (only needed if running TUI/PTY surfaces)

HERMES-AGENT-ONLY 20-Agent Fix Swarm: Wave A delivered MAJOR turnaround
on the v0.13 deferral verdict. Wave A2 confirmed pip install -e .
SUCCEEDS on Windows for v2026.5.7. Wave A3 confirmed 330/375 modules
import cleanly. Two real Windows blockers exist upstream (tui_gateway/
entry.py SIGPIPE/SIGHUP, and intentional pty_bridge.fcntl), but the
core agent runtime + MCP + redaction defaults work on Windows.

This PR ships the Hermes3D-side env-switch infrastructure so an operator
can flip canary <-> production with a single env var. Production stays
v0.12 by default; canary is opt-in via HERMES_AGENT_CHECKOUT.

Wave A4 finding (canary adapter brief)
- HERMES_AGENT_CHECKOUT env override "exists" at agent_updates.py:25
  but is captured at module-import time (DEFAULT_CHECKOUT constant).
- 3 sister sites hard-code the production path as a string literal:
  module_runtime.py:199, code_history.py:194, db/load_modules.py:78.

Wave A5 finding (rollback hazard)
- DEFAULT_CHECKOUT frozen at import means an env flip mid-process does
  NOT propagate. Canary <-> production rollback required process restart.

Combined fix
- New shared resolver at services/agent_checkout.py:
  hermes_agent_checkout() reads HERMES_AGENT_CHECKOUT per call.
- agent_updates._repo_path() now calls the resolver instead of returning
  the module-level DEFAULT_CHECKOUT constant. Per-call env reads work
  immediately without process restart.
- 3 sister sites import the resolver (called once at import; their
  data structures are module-level tuples/dicts, so they accept import-
  time semantics — but at least honor the env when set before process
  start). Documented in code comments.
- DEFAULT_CHECKOUT retained for any downstream import or test
  monkeypatch that expected it.

Tests added (11, all green)
- 04_testing/pytest/unit/test_agent_checkout_resolver.py
  * default is production v0.12 when env unset
  * canary override flips to v0.13 path
  * resolver constants match canonical paths
  * Wave A5 critical: per-call env flip mid-process propagates
  * Wave A5 pin: hermes_agent_checkout NOT wrapped in @lru_cache
  * Wave A4 critical: agent_updates._repo_path uses resolver per-call
  * Source-level pin: agent_updates imports the resolver
  * Source-level pin: 3 sister sites import the resolver
  * Production path unchanged when env unset (zero behavior change)

Verification
- py_compile: OK on all 5 source files
- Focused tests: 11/11 pass
- Adjacent regression (agent_updates + agent_checkout + recovery_ledger
  + apply_patch): 70/70 pass (1 POSIX-only skip on Windows host)
- Pre-push hook: passed

Production safety
- Default behavior byte-identical to today (env unset -> v0.12 path)
- Canary path requires operator opt-in via HERMES_AGENT_CHECKOUT
- Production checkout at G:/Github/hermes-agent-fresh untouched
- Canary checkout at G:/Github/hermes-agent-v013-canary stood up by
  Wave A2; production unchanged per A2's report

Swarm provenance
- HERMES-AGENT-ONLY 20-Agent Fix Swarm Wave A: 5 agents in parallel.
- A1 candidate-SHA-found (corrected Wave 1 verdict via workflow_id-grouped
  query)
- A2 canary install OK at v2026.5.7 on Windows

Code Review

This pull request introduces a centralized hermes_agent_checkout resolver to manage the Hermes Agent path via the HERMES_AGENT_CHECKOUT environment variable, enabling switches between production and canary versions. While the agent_updates route was updated to resolve the path dynamically per-call, several other modules—including load_modules.py, code_history.py, and module_runtime.py—still capture the path at module import time. Feedback highlights that this creates a "split-brain" inconsistency where different system components may operate on different repository paths if the environment variable is changed mid-process. Furthermore, the DEFAULT_CHECKOUT constant in agent_updates.py is now redundant and potentially misleading for unit tests.

Populating SOURCE_OVERRIDES at module import time freezes the agent path in the database registry. This creates a 'split-brain' inconsistency where mid-process environment flips supported by the updater (agent_updates.py) will not be reflected in the module registry or any logic relying on resolve_module_source. This introduces a significant risk of the system operating on out-of-sync repository paths for different operations (e.g., updating vs. loading/inspecting). To fully satisfy the Wave A5 requirement for mid-process propagation, the path resolution should be dynamic for all consumers.

Capturing the checkout path at import time via _HERMES_AGENT_CHECKOUT_AT_IMPORT introduces a split-brain inconsistency. While the updater API correctly resolves the path per-call, this module's SOURCE_REPOS (and consequently programming_readiness()) remains locked to the path detected at startup. The comment stating this is 'documentation-of-intent only' is inaccurate, as SOURCE_REPOS is used for actual readiness checks. This means the UI may report status for the production repository while the updater is actively modifying the canary repository if the environment variable is flipped mid-process.

The hermes_agent path in BUILTIN_RUNTIME_PROBES is frozen at import time. This results in an inconsistency where runtime verification probes will not reflect mid-process changes to HERMES_AGENT_CHECKOUT. If an operator flips to canary mode, the updater will use the new path, but the runtime verifier will continue to probe the old path, leading to incorrect readiness reporting and potential failures in agent execution gates that rely on these probes.

The constant DEFAULT_CHECKOUT is now redundant and its retention for monkeypatching is ineffective. Since _repo_path() (line 240) has been updated to call the hermes_agent_checkout() resolver directly, any monkeypatching of this constant in tests will be ignored by the actual application logic. This creates a discrepancy where tests might appear to pass with a mocked path while the code continues to use the environment-resolved path. Additionally, line 34 still performs the 'hazard' of capturing the environment variable at import time, which is the exact issue this PR aims to resolve. It is recommended to remove this constant and update any dependent tests to monkeypatch the resolver service or the environment variable directly.

Final synthesis for the HERMES-AGENT-ONLY 20-Agent Fix Swarm.

Executive verdict: v0.13 deferral PARTIALLY LIFTED.
- Wave A2 confirmed `pip install -e .` SUCCEEDS on Windows for v2026.5.7
- Wave A3 confirmed 330/375 module imports OK
- Both critical security/feature changes confirmed live (redaction
  default-ON via PR #21193; 10 MCP tools intact)
- Only 2 Windows blockers exist upstream (1 by-design, 1 fixable by
  1-line upstream guard)

Wave 1's prior verdict ("KEEP DEFERRED — last 100 main runs all red")
was a query artifact. Wave A1 re-grouped by workflow_id=242054771 and
found 39/100 main Tests runs green across 7 distinct main SHAs.

Stop-condition met: PR #155 ships the env-switch infrastructure
(combined Wave A4 + A5 brief) so Hermes3D OS can consume v0.13 canary
safely without touching production. Waves B/C/D NOT launched per swarm
rule "stop launching when fix found."

…AIL (#157)

Canary smoke run executed against G:/Github/hermes-agent-v013-canary
(v2026.5.7, sha 498bfc7) with HERMES_AGENT_CHECKOUT env switch from
PR #155.

v2026.5.9 does NOT exist upstream; latest tag remains v2026.5.7
(per user rule: "Use candidate v2026.5.9 if available, otherwise
latest post-v2026.5.7 cleanup candidate").

Results
1. Hermes Agent imports — PASS (8/8 top-level packages)
2. MCP tools load — PASS (10 @mcp.tool() decorators in mcp_serve.py)
3. MiniMax — PASS (config layer, auth header redacted, no key printed)
4. DeepSeek — PASS (graceful RuntimeError when env unset; PR #145/#148
   fix active)
5. OpenCode preflight — PASS (detected v1.4.3-hermes3d)
6. OpenHands preflight — PASS (detected CLI 1.16.0)
7. Bounded coding/audit task — N/A (BLK-013 endpoint not yet shipped;
   honest deferral, not skip)
8. Rollback to v0.12 — PASS (mid-process flip-and-back works
   canary->prod->canary->prod without process restart)

Production safety
- G:/Github/hermes-agent-fresh HEAD unchanged (73bf3ab1b223, v2026.4.30)
- git status --short empty post-smoke
- Production checkout byte-identical to pre-smoke state

Promotion proposal
- CONDITIONAL: 7 PASS / 1 N/A / 0 FAIL clears safety bar
- Three operator-driven gates before flipping the default:
  1. Live MiniMax + DeepSeek probes (deferred in S3/S4 to avoid credit
     spend; integration path verified, actual probe is operator step)
  2. BLK-013 bounded-task PR ships OR operator approves Smoke 7 defer
  3. Upstream tui_gateway/entry.py Windows guard merges (only required
     for TUI dashboard / PTY chat surface)
- If accepted: 1-line change in services/agent_checkout.py +
  ~5 LoC tests; easy rollback via revert
- If declined: status quo (production v0.12 default, canary opt-in via
  env) holds with zero code change

Constraints honored
- Production v0.12 untouched
- Canary opt-in only
- No secrets printed
- No broad skip (Smoke 7 has documented blocker)
- Wired via env/config only
- Rollback proven

… 7/7 gates green) (#160)

Wave 1 of the v0.13 production promotion swarm cleared all 7 hard gates.
This PR flips the resolver default from v0.12 (hermes-agent-fresh) to
v0.13 (hermes-agent-v013-canary). v0.12 remains the opt-in fallback via
HERMES_AGENT_CHECKOUT=G:/Github/hermes-agent-fresh.

Hard gates (all PASS, evidence below)
1. MiniMax accepted=true       — P1-1 (ev_84c2ba93c25d4017)
2. DeepSeek accepted=true      — P1-1 (ev_6fa1536b411822db)
3. Canary runtime smoke passes — P1-2 (8/8 imports, 38-subcommand CLI,
   10 MCP tools, redaction default-ON per upstream PR #21193)
4. v0.12 rollback path proven  — P1-2 (resolver mid-process flip 4/4
   reads correct; production HEAD bit-identical pre/post)
5. No secret leak              — P1-1 + P1-4 (only env-var NAMES + host
   labels in evidence; auth_scheme is static "Authorization: Bearer
   <redacted>"; OWASP A09 review clean)
6. No v0.12 regression         — P1-2 (production checkout bit-identical;
   git status --short empty post-run)
7. BLK-013 fixed by PR #159    — P1-4 (bounded CLI runner endpoint
   shipped with --network=none + --read-only + --cap-drop=ALL +
   sha256-only stderr; 6/6 new tests + 52/52 adjacent regression PASS)

Bonus discovery (P1-3)
- Upstream PR #21561 already merged the Windows TUI signal.SIGPIPE/
  SIGHUP guard on 2026-05-08 (uses hasattr() pattern + SIGBREAK
  fallback). Canary at v2026.5.7 (498bfc7, 2026-05-07) predates this
  fix, so the TUI/PTY surface still requires advancing the canary
  checkout to >= e93bfc6c to gain native Windows TUI support. Core CLI
  + MCP + redaction + provider chat all work TODAY without that
  advance, which is why this promotion is safe.

Patch
- DEFAULT_AGENT_CHECKOUT now points to v0.13 (canary path).
- New V012_FALLBACK_CHECKOUT constant exposes the v0.12 path for
  operators + tests that need explicit fallback semantics.
- CANARY_AGENT_CHECKOUT retained as alias for back-compat.

Tests added/updated (11/11 PASS)
- test_default_is_v013_post_promotion: env unset → v0.13
- test_v012_fallback_via_env: env=hermes-agent-fresh → v0.12
- test_resolver_constants_are_correct: DEFAULT == CANARY == v0.13;
  V012_FALLBACK == hermes-agent-fresh
- test_a5_per_call_env_flip: post-promotion semantic (v0.13 ↔ v0.12)
- test_a4_agent_updates_repo_path_per_call: same semantic via
  agent_updates._repo_path()
- test_v013_default_when_env_unset: route helper + resolver agree
- (4 source-level pin tests retained from PR #155)

Verification
- py_compile: OK
- Focused tests: 11/11 pass
- Pre-push hook: passed

Rollback
- Operators set HERMES_AGENT_CHECKOUT=G:/Github/hermes-agent-fresh in
  the FastAPI process env to revert to v0.12 mid-process (no restart;
  per-call resolver from PR #155).
- Or revert this PR (1 commit) to restore v0.12 as the file-level
  default.
- Production v0.12 checkout at G:/Github/hermes-agent-fresh remains
  byte-identical (HEAD 73bf3ab1, v2026.4.30, status clean) — never

* feat(hermes-agent): promote v0.13 to production default (Wave 1 P1-5; 7/7 gates green)

Wave 1 of the v0.13 production promotion swarm cleared all 7 hard gates.
This PR flips the resolver default from v0.12 (hermes-agent-fresh) to
v0.13 (hermes-agent-v013-canary). v0.12 remains the opt-in fallback via
HERMES_AGENT_CHECKOUT=G:/Github/hermes-agent-fresh.

Hard gates (all PASS, evidence below)
1. MiniMax accepted=true       — P1-1 (ev_84c2ba93c25d4017)
2. DeepSeek accepted=true      — P1-1 (ev_6fa1536b411822db)
3. Canary runtime smoke passes — P1-2 (8/8 imports, 38-subcommand CLI,
   10 MCP tools, redaction default-ON per upstream PR #21193)
4. v0.12 rollback path proven  — P1-2 (resolver mid-process flip 4/4
   reads correct; production HEAD bit-identical pre/post)
5. No secret leak              — P1-1 + P1-4 (only env-var NAMES + host
   labels in evidence; auth_scheme is static "Authorization: Bearer
   <redacted>"; OWASP A09 review clean)
6. No v0.12 regression         — P1-2 (production checkout bit-identical;
   git status --short empty post-run)
7. BLK-013 fixed by PR #159    — P1-4 (bounded CLI runner endpoint
   shipped with --network=none + --read-only + --cap-drop=ALL +
   sha256-only stderr; 6/6 new tests + 52/52 adjacent regression PASS)

Bonus discovery (P1-3)
- Upstream PR #21561 already merged the Windows TUI signal.SIGPIPE/
  SIGHUP guard on 2026-05-08 (uses hasattr() pattern + SIGBREAK
  fallback). Canary at v2026.5.7 (498bfc7, 2026-05-07) predates this
  fix, so the TUI/PTY surface still requires advancing the canary
  checkout to >= e93bfc6c to gain native Windows TUI support. Core CLI
  + MCP + redaction + provider chat all work TODAY without that
  advance, which is why this promotion is safe.

Patch
- DEFAULT_AGENT_CHECKOUT now points to v0.13 (canary path).
- New V012_FALLBACK_CHECKOUT constant exposes the v0.12 path for
  operators + tests that need explicit fallback semantics.
- CANARY_AGENT_CHECKOUT retained as alias for back-compat.

Tests added/updated (11/11 PASS)
- test_default_is_v013_post_promotion: env unset → v0.13
- test_v012_fallback_via_env: env=hermes-agent-fresh → v0.12

- test_v013_default_when_env_unset: route helper + resolver agree
- (4 source-level pin tests retained from PR #155)

Verification
- py_compile: OK
- Focused tests: 11/11 pass
- Pre-push hook: passed

Rollback

has_pluggable_providers_dir). Pairs with agent_checkout.py: that module
resolves which path is active right now; this one says what we know
about each version we've shipped. active_version() reads the live
checkout path through hermes_agent_checkout() so per-call env-flips
(PR #155 / Wave A5) propagate without restart, and returns None if the
operator points HERMES_AGENT_CHECKOUT at a custom fork.

Reads agent_checkout module-level constants only; does not edit it.

Pinned by tests:
- KNOWN_VERSIONS = (v0.12@v2026.4.30, v0.13@v2026.5.7) in order.
- v0.13.redaction_default_on=True (NousResearch/hermes-agent#21193,
  Wave A3 verified).
- v0.12.redaction_default_on=False (Wave 2 prior swarm Agent 2).
- active_version() == v0.13 with env unset (post-PR #160 default).
- active_version() == v0.12 when env=hermes-agent-fresh.
- active_version() is None for unknown checkouts.
- FrozenInstanceError on any field mutation (no cross-version leak).

LoC: 89 lines source (67 non-blank/non-comment) + 114 lines tests.
Tests: 13/13 pass; combined with test_agent_checkout_resolver.py 24/24 pass.

* feat(hermes-agent): promote v0.13 to production default (Wave 1 P1-5; 7/7 gates green)

Wave 1 of the v0.13 production promotion swarm cleared all 7 hard gates.
This PR flips the resolver default from v0.12 (hermes-agent-fresh) to
v0.13 (hermes-agent-v013-canary). v0.12 remains the opt-in fallback via
HERMES_AGENT_CHECKOUT=G:/Github/hermes-agent-fresh.

Hard gates (all PASS, evidence below)
1. MiniMax accepted=true       — P1-1 (ev_84c2ba93c25d4017)
2. DeepSeek accepted=true      — P1-1 (ev_6fa1536b411822db)
3. Canary runtime smoke passes — P1-2 (8/8 imports, 38-subcommand CLI,
   10 MCP tools, redaction default-ON per upstream PR #21193)
4. v0.12 rollback path proven  — P1-2 (resolver mid-process flip 4/4
   reads correct; production HEAD bit-identical pre/post)
5. No secret leak              — P1-1 + P1-4 (only env-var NAMES + host
   labels in evidence; auth_scheme is static "Authorization: Bearer
   <redacted>"; OWASP A09 review clean)
6. No v0.12 regression         — P1-2 (production checkout bit-identical;
   git status --short empty post-run)
7. BLK-013 fixed by PR #159    — P1-4 (bounded CLI runner endpoint
   shipped with --network=none + --read-only + --cap-drop=ALL +
   sha256-only stderr; 6/6 new tests + 52/52 adjacent regression PASS)

Bonus discovery (P1-3)
- Upstream PR #21561 already merged the Windows TUI signal.SIGPIPE/
  SIGHUP guard on 2026-05-08 (uses hasattr() pattern + SIGBREAK
  fallback). Canary at v2026.5.7 (498bfc7, 2026-05-07) predates this
  fix, so the TUI/PTY surface still requires advancing the canary
  checkout to >= e93bfc6c to gain native Windows TUI support. Core CLI
  + MCP + redaction + provider chat all work TODAY without that
  advance, which is why this promotion is safe.

Patch
- DEFAULT_AGENT_CHECKOUT now points to v0.13 (canary path).
- New V012_FALLBACK_CHECKOUT constant exposes the v0.12 path for
  operators + tests that need explicit fallback semantics.
- CANARY_AGENT_CHECKOUT retained as alias for back-compat.

Tests added/updated (11/11 PASS)
- test_default_is_v013_post_promotion: env unset → v0.13
- test_v012_fallback_via_env: env=hermes-agent-fresh → v0.12
- test_resolver_constants_are_correct: DEFAULT == CANARY == v0.13;
  V012_FALLBACK == hermes-agent-fresh
- test_a5_per_call_env_flip: post-promotion semantic (v0.13 ↔ v0.12)
- test_a4_agent_updates_repo_path_per_call: same semantic via
  agent_updates._repo_path()
- test_v013_default_when_env_unset: route helper + resolver agree
- (4 source-level pin tests retained from PR #155)

Verification
- py_compile: OK
- Focused tests: 11/11 pass
- Pre-push hook: passed

Rollback
- Operators set HERMES_AGENT_CHECKOUT=G:/Github/hermes-agent-fresh in
  the FastAPI process env to revert to v0.12 mid-process (no restart;
  per-call resolver from PR #155).
- Or revert this PR (1 commit) to restore v0.12 as the file-level
  default.
- Production v0.12 checkout at G:/Github/hermes-agent-fresh remains
  byte-identical (HEAD 73bf3ab1, v2026.4.30, status clean) — never

* test(v0.12-pin): regression-pin 8 fallback surfaces (Wave 2 P2-3)

Pin v0.12 (G:/Github/hermes-agent-fresh, v2026.4.30) fallback behavior
for the eight surfaces that consume the active Hermes Agent checkout.
After PR #160 promoted v0.13 to default, v0.12 became the rollback path
(operator sets HERMES_AGENT_CHECKOUT=fresh to revert mid-process). If a
future v0.13-only change broke any of these surfaces, rollback would be
half-functional and operators could not safely revert.

Surfaces pinned (one test each):
1. agent_updates._repo_path() — per-call resolver
2. module_runtime.BUILTIN_RUNTIME_PROBES["hermes_agent"]["path"]
   (note: prompt said MODULES, actual constant is BUILTIN_RUNTIME_PROBES)
3. code_history.SOURCE_REPOS[id="nous_hermes_agent"].local_path
4. db/load_modules.SOURCE_OVERRIDES["hermes_agent"]["local_path"]
5. _run_update_checks does not crash under v0.12 (canary-venv-free)
6. Provider config (MiniMax + DeepSeek) — config layer only, no HTTP
7. CLI runner detection (OpenCode + OpenHands) — env-only, no PATH dep
8. agent_config.last_run + proof_events writes round-trip cleanly,
   no v0.13 cross-version contamination at write time

Surfaces 2-4 are module-level constants captured at import; the test
mutates env then importlib.reload(module) so the literals re-resolve.
Pattern documented in test docstrings with references to:
- pytest monkeypatch — https://docs.pytest.org/en/stable/how-to/monkeypatch.html
- importlib.reload — https://docs.python.org/3/library/importlib.html
- nox per-version isolation — https://nox.thea.codes/en/stable/tutorial.html

8/8 pass; 11 existing resolver tests still pass (19/19 combined).
No production source modified — read-only on src/, test-only addition.

* test(recovery): pin RC v2 saga semantics across v0.12 + v0.13 (Wave 4 P3-4)

Mission: confirm Recovery Controller v2 freeze/thaw + saga compensation
behave identically against the v0.12 fallback checkout
(G:/Github/hermes-agent-fresh) and the v0.13 production default
(G:/Github/hermes-agent-v013-canary). Per the action plan §P3-4 user
requirement: "freeze/snapshot/MCP-lock semantics unchanged".

This is a TEST-ONLY PR. recovery_controller.py source is NOT modified.

New tests (8 logical, 9 collected — test 5 parameterized v012/v013):
1. test_freeze_run_creates_record_under_v013_default — env unset, freeze
   produces RecoveryRun with locked_files + pre_snapshot_ids +
   freeze_event_utc.
2. test_freeze_run_creates_record_under_v012_fallback — env=v0.12, identical
   record shape (full payload-key contract).
3. test_thaw_run_releases_locks_v013 — release exactly once, locked_files
   cleared.
4. test_thaw_run_releases_locks_v012 — parity with v0.13.
5. test_compensate_freeze_failure_under_both_versions — Postgres-style
   rollback: snapshot fails on file 3 of 3; release_mcp_files called once
   for the full set, mark_recovery_outcome retry_failed written, run
   transitions to RETRY_FAILED. Same on v0.12 + v0.13 (parametrized).
6. test_freeze_run_proof_event_records_active_version — auto-skipped until
   P2-6 (proof event version tagging) lands; detection scans
   RecoveryRun.__dataclass_fields__ for version_label / version_tag /
   active_checkout / hermes_agent_version.
7. test_recovery_run_dataclass_field_set_unchanged — pin: field set is
   identical across env-driven importlib.reload of recovery_controller.
8. test_freeze_thaw_round_trip_identical_across_versions — saga step
   ORDER (record_step_failure → lock_mcp_files → snapshot_file ×N →
   release_mcp_files) is byte-identical across versions.

Sources cited (2-source minimum per brief):
* Saga pattern (Garcia-Molina + Salem 1987) — Temporal docs:
  https://temporal.io/blog/saga-pattern-made-easy
* PostgreSQL transaction-rollback semantics:
  https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/tutorial-transactions.html

Constraints honored:
* recovery_controller.py source NOT modified.
* No filesystem requirement on actual v0.12/v0.13 directories — all v1
  collaborators stubbed (lock_mcp_files, release_mcp_files,
  snapshot_file, record_step_failure, mark_recovery_outcome,
  append_mcp_evidence).
* RC v2 commits 3-5 (autonomous mode, propose/review/apply, UI panel)
  out of scope.

Verification:
* New file alone: pytest 8 passed, 1 skipped (test 6 P2-6 fence).
* Combined (this file + test_v012_fallback_regression_pin.py +
  test_v013_default_regression_pin.py + test_agent_checkout_resolver.py +
  test_recovery_controller_freeze.py): 41 passed, 1 skipped, 1 deselected
  (BLK-013 route test pre-existing failure unrelated to RC v2 — relies on
  PR #159 not in this branch's ancestry).

* test(v0.13): regression-pin v0.13 production default behavior (Wave 2 P2-4)

Adds 8 focused unit tests that lock down the post-PR #160 (squash 3158a4e)
production v0.13 default behavior so future commits cannot silently regress
Wave 1 gate 3.

Surfaces pinned (one test each):
1. agent_updates._repo_path() -> v0.13 path when env unset.
2. module_runtime.BUILTIN_RUNTIME_PROBES['hermes_agent']['path']
   resolves to v0.13 when env unset at module-import (importlib.reload).
3. code_history.SOURCE_REPOS[id='nous_hermes_agent'].local_path
   resolves to v0.13 when env unset at module-import (importlib.reload).
4. db.load_modules.SOURCE_OVERRIDES['hermes_agent']['local_path']
   resolves to v0.13 when env unset at module-import (importlib.reload).
5. agent_updates._run_update_checks runs against the v0.13 checkout
   without crashing (subprocess mocked; pytest gate is NEVER spawned).
6. MiniMax + DeepSeek probe requests build correctly with v0.13 active
   (no live HTTP; bearer scheme + Accept header asserted).
7. CLI runner detection works (OpenCode 1.4.3-hermes3d + OpenHands CLI
   1.16.0 per PR #157 baseline) under v0.13 default.
8. BLK-013 POST /api/code-operator/cli-runners/run-bounded-task is
   registered (per PR #159) and the docker argv carries --network=none
   (subprocess.run mocked; no real container spawn).

Sister coverage to PR P2-3 (test_v012_fallback_regression_pin.py): same
8 surfaces, opposite env state. Neither file duplicates the existing
test_agent_checkout_resolver.py — those tests cover env-flip semantics;
this file pins the resolved path values across all 4 import-time sites
and the 4 runtime sites that depend on them.

* ci(P3-3): multi-version regression gate (Wave 2 P3-3)

Add .github/workflows/hermes-agent-versions.yml — runs the per-call
resolver suite (PR #155) plus both regression-pin suites (PR #163 v0.12
fallback + PR #165 v0.13 default) on ubuntu-24.04 + windows-latest with
Python 3.11 whenever any contract surface changes.

Why
- Wave 1 (PR #160 squash 3158a4e) promoted Hermes Agent v0.13 to the
  production default; v0.12 is now the operator rollback
  (HERMES_AGENT_CHECKOUT=G:/Github/hermes-agent-fresh).
- A future commit could silently break either side. This workflow is
  the Wave 2 gate that fails CI if either version regresses.
- Windows-latest is required because production runs on Windows
  desktops (Tenacity Release ships a Windows TUI guard); Ubuntu-24.04
  is the server-host parity row.

Design notes
- fail-fast: false so one OS does not mask the other.
- No `pip install -e .` — the regression suites are env-mocked + path-
  mocked; verified by reading both pin files end to end (no .exists()
  on G:/Github/hermes-agent-fresh or G:/Github/hermes-agent-v013-canary,
  only Path equality).
- HERMES_AGENT_CHECKOUT is left UNSET in the env block — the resolver
  defaults to v0.13, and the v0.12 suite uses monkeypatch.setenv
  internally (per pytest's recommended pattern).
- shell: bash on the test steps so backslash line continuation works
  on both runners.

Local re-run gate: 27 passed in 2.40s (Windows + Python 3.14, will run
on Python 3.11 in CI). yamllint: 2 cosmetic warnings only, identical
profile to existing ci.yml.

Hermes evidence chain: PASS
Task ID: P3-3-MULTI-VERSION-CI-2026-05-09
hermes_run_gate: yamllint clean + local pytest re-run on same suites

* feat(hermes-agent): promote v0.13 to production default (Wave 1 P1-5; 7/7 gates green)

Wave 1 of the v0.13 production promotion swarm cleared all 7 hard gates.
This PR flips the resolver default from v0.12 (hermes-agent-fresh) to
v0.13 (hermes-agent-v013-canary). v0.12 remains the opt-in fallback via
HERMES_AGENT_CHECKOUT=G:/Github/hermes-agent-fresh.

Hard gates (all PASS, evidence below)
1. MiniMax accepted=true       — P1-1 (ev_84c2ba93c25d4017)
2. DeepSeek accepted=true      — P1-1 (ev_6fa1536b411822db)
3. Canary runtime smoke passes — P1-2 (8/8 imports, 38-subcommand CLI,
   10 MCP tools, redaction default-ON per upstream PR #21193)
4. v0.12 rollback path proven  — P1-2 (resolver mid-process flip 4/4
   reads correct; production HEAD bit-identical pre/post)
5. No secret leak              — P1-1 + P1-4 (only env-var NAMES + host
   labels in evidence; auth_scheme is static "Authorization: Bearer
   <redacted>"; OWASP A09 review clean)
6. No v0.12 regression         — P1-2 (production checkout bit-identical;
   git status --short empty post-run)
7. BLK-013 fixed by PR #159    — P1-4 (bounded CLI runner endpoint
   shipped with --network=none + --read-only + --cap-drop=ALL +
   sha256-only stderr; 6/6 new tests + 52/52 adjacent regression PASS)

Bonus discovery (P1-3)
- Upstream PR #21561 already merged the Windows TUI signal.SIGPIPE/
  SIGHUP guard on 2026-05-08 (uses hasattr() pattern + SIGBREAK
  fallback). Canary at v2026.5.7 (498bfc7, 2026-05-07) predates this
  fix, so the TUI/PTY surface still requires advancing the canary

Patch
- DEFAULT_AGENT_CHECKOUT now points to v0.13 (canary path).
- New V012_FALLBACK_CHECKOUT constant exposes the v0.12 path for
  operators + tests that need explicit fallback semantics.
- CANARY_AGENT_CHECKOUT retained as alias for back-compat.

Verification
- py_compile: OK
- Focused tests: 11/11 pass
- Pre-push hook: passed

Rollback
- Operators set HERMES_AGENT_CHECKOUT=G:/Github/hermes-agent-fresh in

  per-call resolver from PR #155).
- Or revert this PR (1 commit) to restore v0.12 as the file-level
  default.
- Production v0.12 checkout at G:/Github/hermes-agent-fresh remains

  modified by canary work.

* feat(hermes-agent): version registry for v0.12 + v0.13 (Wave 2 P2-1)

Adds services/agent_version_registry.py — a frozen-dataclass registry
(KNOWN_VERSIONS = (V012, V013)) of known Hermes Agent versions and
their feature flags (redaction_default_on, has_kanban,
has_heartbeat_reclaim, has_zombie_detection,
has_pluggable_providers_dir). Pairs with agent_checkout.py: that module
resolves which path is active right now; this one says what we know
about each version we've shipped. active_version() reads the live
checkout path through hermes_agent_checkout() so per-call env-flips
(PR #155 / Wave A5) propagate without restart, and returns None if the
operator points HERMES_AGENT_CHECKOUT at a custom fork.

Reads agent_checkout module-level constants only; does not edit it.

Pinned by tests:
- KNOWN_VERSIONS = (v0.12@v2026.4.30, v0.13@v2026.5.7) in order.
- v0.13.redaction_default_on=True (NousResearch/hermes-agent#21193,
  Wave A3 verified).
- v0.12.redaction_default_on=False (Wave 2 prior swarm Agent 2).
- active_version() == v0.13 with env unset (post-PR #160 default).
- active_version() == v0.12 when env=hermes-agent-fresh.
- active_version() is None for unknown checkouts.
- FrozenInstanceError on any field mutation (no cross-version leak).

LoC: 89 lines source (67 non-blank/non-comment) + 114 lines tests.
Tests: 13/13 pass; combined with test_agent_checkout_resolver.py 24/24 pass.

Handoff: P2-5 (compat matrix) reads KNOWN_VERSIONS for capability rows;
P2-6 (proof events) reads active_version().label/upstream_tag for the
version_tag field on every event.

* feat(hermes-agent): version-tag proof events with active version + upstream tag (Wave 2 P2-6)

Every persisted proof_events row now carries the active Hermes Agent
version (v0.12 / v0.13), the upstream tag (v2026.4.30 / v2026.5.7),
and the resolved checkout path. Without this, post-promotion forensic
queries cannot tell which Hermes Agent version emitted any given
event — a gap that becomes load-bearing the moment an operator flips
HERMES_AGENT_CHECKOUT mid-process (per-call resolver, PR #155).

Approach (single-point change, not 23 per-call-site edits):
- New shared services/proof_helpers.py exposes proof_version_fields()
  and attach_version_fields(payload). The latter returns a NEW dict
  with version fields merged in, caller keys winning on collision.
- Three identical _append_proof_event helpers
  (agent_updates.py / desktop_updates.py / jobs.py) augmented at the
  single SQL-insertion site. All 23 transitive callers inherit
  version tagging without per-site edits.

Backward compat: legacy rows have no version_label key. Reader code
must use payload.get("version_label", "unknown") semantics.
Pin test (test_reader_pattern_uses_get_with_unknown_default) catches
any future regression that breaks this fall-through.

Provenance basis (cited in helper docstring + test docstring):
- NIST SP 800-92 §4 Log Generation and Storage
  (https://csrc.nist.gov/publications/detail/sp/800-92/final)
- OpenTelemetry resource attribute service.version
  (https://opentelemetry.io/docs/specs/semconv/resource/#service)

Tests: 13 new in test_proof_event_version_tagging.py.
Suite: pytest test_agent_version_registry.py +
       test_agent_checkout_resolver.py +
       test_proof_event_version_tagging.py = 37 passed in 1.46s.

…3-5) [re-target of #170] (#174)

* feat(hermes-agent): promote v0.13 to production default (Wave 1 P1-5; 7/7 gates green)

Wave 1 of the v0.13 production promotion swarm cleared all 7 hard gates.
This PR flips the resolver default from v0.12 (hermes-agent-fresh) to
v0.13 (hermes-agent-v013-canary). v0.12 remains the opt-in fallback via
HERMES_AGENT_CHECKOUT=G:/Github/hermes-agent-fresh.

Hard gates (all PASS, evidence below)
1. MiniMax accepted=true       — P1-1 (ev_84c2ba93c25d4017)
2. DeepSeek accepted=true      — P1-1 (ev_6fa1536b411822db)
3. Canary runtime smoke passes — P1-2 (8/8 imports, 38-subcommand CLI,
   10 MCP tools, redaction default-ON per upstream PR #21193)
4. v0.12 rollback path proven  — P1-2 (resolver mid-process flip 4/4
   reads correct; production HEAD bit-identical pre/post)
5. No secret leak              — P1-1 + P1-4 (only env-var NAMES + host
   labels in evidence; auth_scheme is static "Authorization: Bearer
   <redacted>"; OWASP A09 review clean)
6. No v0.12 regression         — P1-2 (production checkout bit-identical;
   git status --short empty post-run)
7. BLK-013 fixed by PR #159    — P1-4 (bounded CLI runner endpoint
   shipped with --network=none + --read-only + --cap-drop=ALL +
   sha256-only stderr; 6/6 new tests + 52/52 adjacent regression PASS)

Bonus discovery (P1-3)
- Upstream PR #21561 already merged the Windows TUI signal.SIGPIPE/
  SIGHUP guard on 2026-05-08 (uses hasattr() pattern + SIGBREAK
  fallback). Canary at v2026.5.7 (498bfc7, 2026-05-07) predates this
  fix, so the TUI/PTY surface still requires advancing the canary
  checkout to >= e93bfc6c to gain native Windows TUI support. Core CLI
  + MCP + redaction + provider chat all work TODAY without that
  advance, which is why this promotion is safe.

Patch
- DEFAULT_AGENT_CHECKOUT now points to v0.13 (canary path).
- New V012_FALLBACK_CHECKOUT constant exposes the v0.12 path for
  operators + tests that need explicit fallback semantics.

* docs+feat(hermes-agent): provider compat matrix per version (Wave 4 P3-5)

Adds per-version provider compatibility table sibling to the P2-1 agent_version_registry. Frozen-tuple shape, no mutation of P2-1's registry. Documents which providers are reachable on Hermes Agent v0.12 vs v0.13, what redaction layer applies, and where each provider adapter is imported from.

Findings: Hermes3D-side direct probes (gateways/providers/) are minimax + deepseek, identical between v0.12 and v0.13 (those modules are Hermes3D code, not vendored from upstream). Smoke 3 + Smoke 4 PASS (2026-05-09). Upstream agent/models_dev.py:PROVIDER_TO_MODELS_DEV — 33 entries, byte-identical between v0.12 and v0.13. Cross-version diff is BEHAVIOURAL: agent/redact.py default flipped OFF -> ON in v0.13 (upstream issue #21193). OpenCode + OpenHands are CLI runners (services/code_history.py), not LLM providers.

Module: services/agent_version_provider_compat.py — frozen ProviderInfo dataclass, COMPAT tuple-of-tuples, providers_for(version). Doc: HERMES_AGENT_PROVIDER_COMPAT_MATRIX_2026-05-09.md (~2400 words). Tests: 14/14 pass; combined with registry tests 27/27 pass.

Sources cited: OWASP A02:2021 Cryptographic Failures (env-var-NAMES-only convention; RuntimeError without env-var-name leak); Stripe API versioning (per-version stability model).

LoC: 134 source + 260 tests + 2421-word doc. Handoff: P3-6 can read providers_for(active_version()) for proof-event version tagging.

P1-8 adversarial review on the v0.13 production promotion (PR #160)
flagged 4 findings; this PR ships F1 + F4 (F2/F3 deferred — see body).

F4 (alias realignment, low risk):
- agent_updates.DEFAULT_CHECKOUT was still a stale literal pointing at
  the v0.12 fallback path. Re-aliased to services.agent_checkout
  .DEFAULT_AGENT_CHECKOUT so back-compat consumers get the
  post-promotion (v0.13) path. _repo_path() already calls the per-call
  resolver (PR #155) so live env flips remain unaffected.

F1 (cross-version backup safety, the consequential one):
- _create_backup now records 'checkout_path' + a short
  'checkout_path_hash' (8-char SHA-256 prefix) in the backup metadata
  + backup_id. This disambiguates v0.13-side and v0.12-side backups.
- _latest_backup gains an optional checkout_path filter. Passing it
  excludes backups whose recorded checkout_path does not match —
  including legacy backups that lack the field (untrustworthy across
  versions). The unfiltered call retains legacy 'newest wins'
  semantics for back-compat.
- rollback_update now:
  * Implicit (no backup_id) -> _latest_backup(checkout_path=current),
    HTTP 409 with operator-clear detail when no match.
  * Explicit (backup_id supplied) -> cross-checks the backup's
    recorded checkout_path against the active one and refuses with
    HTTP 409 on mismatch. Legacy backups (no checkout_path) are still
    honored on explicit reference for runbook back-compat.

Tests:
- Added test_agent_updates_default_checkout_aligned_to_resolver to
  test_agent_checkout_resolver.py (F4 pin).
- New test_agent_updates_cross_version_rollback.py with 10 cases
  covering the path-hash, the filter behavior, and the rollback
  refusal flow.

Deferred:
- F3 (consolidate local SECRET_RE into gateways.redact_text):
  redact_text does NOT redact 'API_KEY=value' shapes that the local
  SECRET_RE catches via '[A-Za-z0-9_]*KEY=[^\s]+'. Per brief, do not
  ship F3 if redact_text is materially weaker. Filed for separate
  hardening of redact_text first.
- F2: not in this PR's scope (designed-only per brief).

P1-8 adversarial review on the v0.13 production promotion (PR #160)

Compat fixes after the F1+F4 commit:
- Re-flatten the agent_checkout import to a single line so the
  existing test_agent_updates_imports_resolver substring pin still
  matches.
- _write_backup test helper normalizes checkout_path via str(Path(...))
