…log-latency

perf: fast model picker + dialogs — config-load hot path, model.options off the reader thread, off-screen turns skip rendering
…nals

node-pty's published npm tarball ships the POSIX `spawn-helper` with mode
0644 (no exec bit). node-pty `posix_spawnp`s that helper on macOS/Linux, so a
non-executable copy fails every embedded-terminal spawn with
`Error: posix_spawnp failed.`. Packaged builds are unaffected because
stage-native-deps.mjs chmods the staged copy, but the dev flow
(`npm run dev` -> `electron .`) resolves node-pty straight from node_modules,
which nothing chmods -- so the first terminal in dev always dies.

Restore the exec bit once, lazily, right before the first spawn, via a small
DI-testable helper. Idempotent: already-executable copies (packaged builds)
are left untouched, and stat/chmod failures are collected and logged rather
than thrown so terminal startup never breaks.
…cus to its trigger

Picking a model from the composer model pill left the pill's tooltip
stuck open over the fresh selection: Radix Tooltip opens on ANY trigger
focus (its isPointerDownRef guard only covers a pointerdown on the
trigger itself), and Radix menus/dialogs restore focus to their trigger
on close — so every mouse-driven pick ended with a phantom tip. Same
pattern on every Tip-wrapped trigger that opens an overlay.

Gate the focus-open to KEYBOARD focus: the trigger's own onFocus runs
before Radix's composed handler and calls preventDefault() unless the
trigger matches :focus-visible — composeEventHandlers skips onOpen for
defaultPrevented events. Chromium keeps focus-visible modality across
the menu round-trip, so a mouse pick's focus restore no longer opens
the tip, while Tab-focus still shows it (a11y unchanged). Fails open if
:focus-visible is unsupported.

Tests cover the three branches (suppress on non-keyboard focus, keep on
keyboard focus, fail open on selector error); chat/shell suites green.

fix(desktop): restore exec bit on node-pty spawn-helper for dev terminals
NousResearch#66373 swapped GITHUB_TOKEN -> AUTOFIX_BOT_PAT across the workflows and
NousResearch#66577 restored the `|| github.token` fork fallback for detect-changes and
the label gates -- but it missed the ci-timings "Collect timings and
generate report" step, which still passes a bare AUTOFIX_BOT_PAT. On fork
PRs that PAT is empty, so timings_report.py hard-fails at
expect_env("GITHUB_TOKEN") before it can reach its own "degraded run must
never redden the PR" soft-fail path. Every fork PR gets a red run from this
advisory job (e.g. NousResearch#66573).

- ci.yml: apply the same `secrets.AUTOFIX_BOT_PAT || github.token` fallback
  to the timings step. github.token has `actions: read`, enough to read the
  run's job/step durations on forks.
- timings_report.py: treat a missing/empty GITHUB_TOKEN as a degraded run
  (TimingsUnavailable) instead of a hard ValueError, so this whole class of
  failure can never redden a PR again even if a future workflow drops the
  token. Still writes no JSON, so no empty baseline is ever cached.

fix(ci): make timings report fork-safe (missed by NousResearch#66577)

Hot-path pass following the switch-latency work. Four independent costs,
one theme — work that runs on every boot or every turn but only needed
to run on actual change:

- electron: start the Python backend in parallel with the renderer load
  instead of on did-finish-load. The backend cold boot is the dominant
  startup cost and was serialized behind Chromium's load; the connection
  promise is shared, so the renderer's getConnection() joins the
  in-flight boot, and its getBootProgress() pull on mount recovers any
  progress events emitted before the renderer was listening.
- boot/soft-switch: after the socket connects, run the independent
  post-connect fetches (cwd seed, config, session lists) concurrently
  instead of serially — profile adoption still lands first because the
  session fetch scopes by it.
- session.info: config refetch is now gated to the foreground context
  and coalesced (one trailing fetch per event burst) — it used to fire
  two REST calls per event, including background sessions' heartbeats.
  model-options invalidation now requires a VALUE change vs the
  session's cached runtime state; the backend stamps model/provider on
  every event, so the presence-typed flags refetched the provider
  catalog once or twice per turn for a model that never changed.
- turn complete: sidebar refreshes (recents + cron + messaging fan-out,
  each scanning profile state.dbs server-side) coalesce across
  near-simultaneous completions; $sessions and profile totals keep
  their identity when a refresh returns content-identical rows (same
  signature gate cron/messaging already use), and the loading flag no
  longer flickers over a populated list.
…gate_task returns results

run_agent._dispatch_delegate_task forces background=True for every top-level
delegation, and async_delivery_supported() returns True for any session that
never binds the capability. On runners that cannot receive a completion after
their turn ends, that combination silently discards every subagent result: the
model gets a dispatch handle, ends its turn, and reports 'waiting for results'.

Two such runners never bind the capability:

* hermes -z (one-shot) prints one final response and exits. It bypasses cli.py,
  so nothing drains process_registry.completion_queue (only the interactive
  process_loop and the gateway watchers do).

* cron run_job clears the HERMES_SESSION_* routing keys, so a completion event
  carries session_key="" — _enrich_async_delegation_routing cannot resolve it
  and _inject_watch_notification drops it ("no routing metadata"). By then
  run_job has already shipped the job's final response via _deliver_result;
  there is no turn left to re-enter. Worse, get_current_session_key() can fall
  back to the ambient os.environ HERMES_SESSION_KEY, so a cron subagent's output
  can be routed into an unrelated user chat rather than merely dropped.

Add declare_stateless_channel() and bind it in both runners, routing
delegate_task to its existing inline/synchronous path — the same fallback the
stateless HTTP adapter already relies on, and the fix suggested in NousResearch#63142. The
helper binds only the capability: set_session_vars() would also latch
_session_context_engaged, which a pure single-process one-shot must not trigger.

Also correct two agent-facing strings that hardcoded 'stateless HTTP API' as the
only channel without async delivery (delegate_tool, terminal_tool); they now name
the actual condition.

Repro (before): hermes -z 'Use delegate_task to spawn a subagent that replies
BANANA. Report its reply.' -> "Waiting for the subagent's response...", exit 0,
no BANANA. After: BANANA is returned in-turn.

Fixes NousResearch#53027
Fixes NousResearch#63142
A plain /usr/bin/tini → /init symlink forwarded tini's -g into
s6-overlay's rc.init as the container CMD, causing boot loops after
image updates that preserve old entrypoints (NousResearch#66679).
Unit-test flag stripping without Docker, and assert the image shim
rejects the rc.init '-g: not found' restart loop from NousResearch#66679.
`_prepare_inbound_message_text` (async) called `_decide_image_input_mode`
inline for every inbound image. That decision is synchronous and does
blocking network I/O on the way to a capability answer:

- `agent.models_dev.fetch_models_dev` — an HTTP GET to models.dev (15s
  timeout) whenever the 1-hour in-memory cache is cold or models.dev is slow.
- `agent.model_metadata.query_ollama_supports_vision` — HTTP probes
  (`detect_local_server_type` + `/api/show`) against a local Ollama server
  when the active provider fronts one.

Running that inline blocks the gateway event loop for up to the request
timeout — so a single user attaching an image freezes EVERY session on that
gateway (no other messages processed, no heartbeats) until the fetch/probe
returns or times out. This is the same off-the-loop class as the cron-fire
verifier and the async_is_safe_url work.

Wrap the call in `asyncio.to_thread` so the blocking capability lookup runs
on a worker thread and the loop stays responsive. The decision result and
routing are unchanged.

Test: a gateway image-routing runtime test asserts the capability lookup runs
off the main (event-loop) thread; it runs on the main thread before the fix.
… tools to leaf children

A leaf subagent is meant to be denied delegate_task, execute_code, memory,
clarify, cronjob, and send_message. _strip_blocked_tools() only drops a
toolset when EVERY tool in it is blocked, so mixed platform bundles
(hermes-cli, hermes-telegram, and every other gateway bundle) survived
stripping and re-exposed the blocked tools after composite expansion. A
leaf child spawned from any gateway platform could recursively delegate,
run code, and write memory.

Pass exact one-tool deny toolsets into the child's disabled_toolsets so
model_tools subtracts the blocked names AFTER composite expansion, and the
restriction survives later registry/MCP refreshes. Orchestrators regain
only delegate_task.

…, /topup, terminal-billing UX) (NousResearch#51639)

* feat(tui): rename /billing slash command to /topup

Behavior-preserving rename of the /billing command surface to /topup.
Changes: billing.ts → topup.ts (export topupCommands, name 'topup', new
help string), registry.ts import+spread updated, billingOverlay.tsx
overview header 'Usage credits' → 'Top up credits', billingCommand.test.ts
→ topupCommand.test.ts with import/lookup/call updated. RPC method names
(billing.state, billing.charge, etc.) and component/symbol names unchanged.

* refactor(tui): extract overlay primitives to shared module

Lift MenuRow, ActionRow, footer, and barCells() out of billingOverlay.tsx
into overlayPrimitives.tsx so the upcoming subscriptionOverlay.tsx can
import them instead of duplicating. spendBar now calls barCells() —
output is byte-identical. Pure behavior-preserving refactor.

* feat(tui): add /subscription + /topup CTAs to /usage output

Every /usage render now ends with 'Run /subscription to change plan
· /topup to add credits' — both the healthy (with-calls) and depleted
(no-calls) paths. Strings-only change, no WS1 dependency.

* feat(tui): add subscription wire types

Add SubscriptionTierOption, SubscriptionStateResponse, and
SubscriptionManageLinkResponse to gatewayTypes.ts. Type-only — no
usages yet. Mirrors the BillingStateResponse conventions (snake_case,
Decimals as strings) and reuses BillingErrorPayload for error mapping.

* feat(gateway): add subscription.state + subscription.manage_link RPCs

- agent/subscription_view.py: SubscriptionState dataclass + fail-open
  build_subscription_state() (mirrors billing_view pattern) +
  get_subscription_manage_link() for the Stripe deep-link.
- hermes_cli/nous_billing.py: get_subscription_state() +
  post_subscription_manage_link() HTTP helpers for the two NAS endpoints
  (WS1 Phase A/C). The manage-link endpoint raises BillingScopeRequired
  when Remote-Spending is missing (Phase 4 step-up trigger).
- tui_gateway/server.py: _serialize_subscription_state() +
  subscription.state RPC (fail-open) + subscription.manage_link RPC
  (returns {ok,kind,url} or typed error envelope via
  _serialize_billing_error). NOT added to _LONG_HANDLERS — synchronous
  HTTP round-trip, not a device flow.

* feat(tui): add subscription overlay state types + store slot

Add SubscriptionScreen, SubscriptionOverlayCtx, SubscriptionOverlayState
to interfaces.ts and a 'subscription' slot to OverlayState. Wire it into
overlayStore.ts (buildOverlayState + $isBlocked). NOT added to
resetFlowOverlays preserve list — flow-scoped like billing, drops on
turn end.

* feat(tui): build SubscriptionOverlay — overview + confirm + handoff

Pure-render Ink component mirroring billingOverlay.tsx's structure.
Overview screen covers all 5 states (free-upgradeable, mid-tier,
top-tier, not-admin, downgrade-pending) + dunning. Confirm screen is
y/n deep-link to Stripe (NO in-terminal charge). Handoff is the
transient 'Opening Stripe' screen. Imports shared primitives from
overlayPrimitives.tsx. 8 render tests via renderSync covering every
state.

* feat(tui): add /subscription command + overlay wiring

- subscription.ts: SubscriptionOverlayCtx closure (openManageLink,
  refreshState, requestRemoteSpending) + run handler that fetches
  subscription.state and opens the overlay. Alias /upgrade.
- registry.ts: spread subscriptionCommands into SLASH_COMMANDS.
- appOverlays.tsx: render SubscriptionOverlay when overlay.subscription set.
- useInputHandlers.ts: Esc closes subscription overlay; promptOverlay OR
  includes subscription so input is intercepted while open.
- subscriptionCommand.test.ts: 4 tests (fetch+open, logged-out sys line,
  /upgrade alias, /subscription resolves).

* fix(tui/subscription): stop saying Stripe in deep-link copy + fix manage link kind type

Replace all user-facing 'Stripe' mentions in the /subscription overlay and
sys messages with 'your subscription page' — the deep-link target is NAS's
own /manage-subscription page, not the Stripe hosted portal. Stripe only
legitimately appears later at actual Checkout. Also add 'manage' to the
SubscriptionManageLinkResponse.kind union (NAS emits kind:'manage'; was
previously missing from the TypeScript type causing silent narrowing errors).

* feat(tui/subscription): render cancellation-scheduled note with headline precedence

Parse cancelAtPeriodEnd + cancellationEffectiveAt from the NAS contract
(camelCase) in the agent parser (_parse_current), emit cancel_at_period_end
+ cancellation_effective_at from the gateway serializer, extend the
SubscriptionStateResponse type, and render a warn note in OverviewScreen:
'Cancels on {date} — your plan stays active until then.'

Headline precedence when multiple flags co-occur:
  past-due > cancel-scheduled > downgrade-pending > active
The downgradeNote guard is tightened to suppress when cancel is scheduled,
so at most one status line renders at a time.

* feat(tui/subscription): team-context screen — redirect to /topup for team orgs

Parse the NAS context:'personal'|'team' field (defaults to 'personal' for
unknown/missing values), emit it on the gateway wire, add it to
SubscriptionStateResponse. When context is 'team', SubscriptionOverlay
renders a dedicated read-only screen instead of the tier picker:

  'This terminal is connected to {org_name}. Teams run on shared
   credits — use /topup to add funds. Personal subscriptions live
   on your personal account.'

The screen closes on Enter or Esc. The personal/tier-picker path is
unchanged.

* fix(subscription): drop manage-link gateway RPC, build URL locally

The NAS POST /api/billing/subscription/manage-link endpoint was dropped
(it added no server work — the target is the static /manage-subscription
page, not a Stripe-minted secret). Build the URL client-side instead:
{portal_base}/manage-subscription?org_id=<org.id>.

- Remove subscription.manage_link gateway RPC (server.py)
- Remove get_subscription_manage_link helper (subscription_view.py)
- Remove post_subscription_manage_link (nous_billing.py)
- Remove SubscriptionManageLinkResponse type (gatewayTypes.ts)
- Add org_id to SubscriptionState + wire through serializer + TS type
- openManageLink() builds the URL locally via buildManageUrl(), opens
  it with the existing openExternalUrl(), no gateway round-trip
- Drop targetTierId param from openManageLink (v1 sends everyone to
  /manage-subscription; no tier deep-link needed)
- Fix stale test expectations (Stripe copy → subscription page copy)

* chore(subscription): drop unused format_money import

* feat(cli): /subscription + /upgrade, /billing→/topup rename, /usage CTAs

Add the classic-CLI half of the terminal billing surface to match the TUI:
- /subscription (alias /upgrade) command + /topup (renamed /billing, keeps
  'billing' as a back-compat alias) in the command registry.
- Drop the stale 'billing' entry from _SLACK_VIA_HERMES_ONLY (now cli_only).

* feat(subscription): CLI /subscription handler, drop dunning, current:null no-plan

- CLI _show_subscription mirrors the TUI overlay (plan read + tier list + usage
  bar + browser deep-link via subscription_manage_url); credits render as counts.
- Adapt to the updated NAS read contract: remove is_past_due/dunning everywhere
  (a card-failing subscriber returns as a normal plan now), and treat no-plan as
  current:null (parser returns None) rather than an all-null object.
- HERMES_DEV_SUBSCRIPTION_FIXTURE env-driven fixtures + ui-tui fixture harness
  drive every state (CLI + live TUI) with no portal.

Verified against handoff 2026-06-24_subscription-tui-handoff.md.

* feat(billing): CF-4 Remote-Spending revoked-terminal UX (NAS PR NousResearch#481)

Wire the Remote-Spending gate denial contract end to end:
- nous_billing: BillingRemoteSpendingRevoked (403 remote_spending_revoked →
  reconnect) + BillingSessionRevoked (401 session_revoked → re-login), distinct
  from insufficient_scope; capture actor/code/recovery; 503 stays transient.
- gateway _serialize_billing_error threads the new typed kinds + actor/code/
  recovery to the TUI.
- TUI renderBillingError: actor-aware revoke copy, kills the spend overlay
  immediately (no 15-min zombie button), handles session_revoked, the dual-
  emitted cli_billing_disabled/remote_spending_disabled, role_required,
  idempotency_conflict; poll treats a mid-poll revoke as ambiguous (check
  balance before retry), not a failure.
- CLI _billing_render_charge_error: same denial matrix, actor-aware copy.

Tests: gate-contract mapping + envelope (py) and revoke/session/disabled (TUI).
Per handoff 2026-06-24_remote-spending-TUI-contract-handoff.md.

* refactor(subscription): remove dead step-up scaffolding from /subscription

/subscription only opens a browser deep-link to manage-subscription — that needs
no billing scope, so it can never hit insufficient_scope. Drop the never-fired
'stepup' screen type, requestRemoteSpending ctx fn, and resumeScreen bookkeeping
(leftovers from a superseded plan). The resumable step-up lives on /topup, where
the charge actually gets gated.

* feat(tui/topup): resumable 'Allow Remote Spending' step-up on the charge path

Phase 4: when a charge returns insufficient_scope, the /topup modal no longer
tears down with a 'run /billing again' ConfirmReq. Instead it stays MOUNTED and
switches to a step-up screen:
- charge() is now awaitable, returning a discriminated outcome (submitted |
  needs_remote_spending | error) so the overlay can route without closing.
- StepUpScreen: 'Allow Remote Spending' → await the device-flow grant (browser
  opens via the existing out-of-band billing.step_up.verification event) →
  replay the held charge (pendingCharge.amount) and settle, with no command
  re-run. Never surfaces the raw billing:manage scope.
- armStepUp's fire-and-forget ConfirmReq replaced by requestRemoteSpending();
  the leaky 'billing:manage' / 'Re-authorize' / 'run /billing again' copy is gone.

Tests: charge-outcome routing, step-up grant/deny, and a render test asserting
the step-up copy holds the amount and never leaks billing:manage.
Per handoff 2026-06-24_remote-spending-TUI-contract-handoff.md §2 (Grady #6).

* feat(billing): shared dollar usage model + two-bar view (drop "credits")

Single source of truth for the /usage and /subscription usage bars across
TUI + CLI. Reads the NAS account-info dollar fields (subscription/top-up/total
remaining, monthly allowance, renewal) and produces a surface-agnostic model:
two full-resolution bars (plan allowance + purchased top-up), a status
classification (free | healthy | low | depleted), and a human renewal date.

- agent/billing_usage.py: UsageModel/UsageBar, usage_model_from_account
  (fail-open), build_usage_model (HERMES_DEV_CREDITS_FIXTURE-aware),
  format_renews (ISO -> "Jul 24, 2026", Windows-safe), $5 low-balance threshold.
- tui_gateway/server.py: _serialize_usage_model/_serialize_usage_bar, a
  usage.bars RPC, and the model embedded into subscription.state so the overlay
  renders the same bars from its single fetch.
- Dollars only, never "credits"; two separate bars (not a crammed
  three-segment one) for legibility at terminal widths.
- tests/agent/test_billing_usage.py: status classification, bar math
  (clamp/over-cap), NaN/Inf rejection, fail-open invariants.

* feat(tui): dollar usage bars on /usage + /subscription, drop tier picker

Render the shared two-bar dollar model in both overlays; strip "credits" and
the in-terminal tier selection per UX feedback.

- overlayPrimitives.tsx: UsageBars (themed plan/top-up bars — gold allowance,
  green top-up) + usageBarsText for the /usage panel. Plan name labels the
  bar; "$X left of $Y · N% used" (disambiguated so the % matches); top-up
  "never expires".
- subscriptionOverlay.tsx: status line dedupes ($X left once; bar carries the
  breakdown), human renewal date, state-matched nudges (free upsell / <$5
  low alert) with box-safe ASCII markers (! / >) instead of the width-unstable
  emoji that broke the border. Tier picker removed — overview shows usage +
  plan, then "Manage on portal" / "Close" (free users get "Start a
  subscription"). No "credits" anywhere.
- session.ts: /usage renders the dollar bars + balance summary, falling back
  to the legacy credits lines only when the model is unavailable; CTA reworded.
- gatewayTypes.ts: UsageModelData/UsageBarData wire types + usage on
  SessionUsageResponse/SubscriptionStateResponse.
- Tests updated to the new contract (no "credits", "left of", dedup, markers).

* feat(cli): mirror dollar usage bars on /usage + /subscription

CLI parity with the TUI billing rework, from the same shared usage model.

- _print_nous_credits_block (/usage) and _subscription_overview render the
  two-bar dollar view (plan name on the bar, "$X left of $Y · N% used",
  top-up "never expires", total spendable) instead of the credits-worded block.
- Dollars only — dropped the tier catalog (no more "$N/mo (… credits)") and
  every user-facing "credits"; team copy says "shared balance".
- Human renewal date via the shared format_renews; status line dedupes the
  "$X left"; free upsell + <$5 low alert with ASCII markers.
- /subscription manage modal no longer dumps the raw manage-subscription URL
  in its detail — the [1] Open / [2] Copy link / [3] Cancel options carry it.
  Title is "Manage your subscription" (no in-terminal plan change). The raw URL
  stays only in the non-interactive / not-admin fallbacks, which have no menu.
- /usage token-usage panel (model, tokens, cost, context) left untouched.

* feat(billing): embed dollar usage model into billing.state for /topup

The /topup overview renders the same two-bar dollar usage (plan + top-up) as
/usage and /subscription. Embed the shared usage model into the billing.state
RPC payload (mirrors subscription.state) so the overlay gets the bars from its
single fetch, and add the `usage` field to BillingStateResponse.

* feat(tui/topup): reorder overview + in-flight reauth with press-Enter resume

Reworks the /topup overlay per the Jun 19 review and the no-preflight decision.

Overview:
- Balance leads in the title ("Top up · balance $X"); the shared two-bar dollar
  usage (plan + top-up) renders below. Dropped the old monthly-cap spend bar.
- "Add funds" is the first action (was "Buy credits"); auto-reload / monthly
  limit / manage-on-portal follow. Dollars only — no "credits" anywhere.
- No "Enable terminal billing" menu item and NO scope preflight: whether the
  terminal can charge is discovered reactively at pay time. (We deliberately do
  not read/refresh the OAuth token to gate UI.)

Step-up (reached only on a charge's insufficient_scope 403):
- New 4-phase flow that keeps the modal mounted: prompt (one-time-setup
  heads-up) → waiting (browser authorize) → granted (explicit "Press Enter to
  resume") → replay the held charge → settle. The press-Enter beat is the
  reassuring "you're back, finish your purchase" moment.
- Renamed user copy "Allow Remote Spending" → "Enable terminal billing"; never
  leaks the raw billing:manage scope (guarded by the render test).
- topup.ts error copy de-crufted to terminal-billing wording, emoji removed.

Tests: step-up prompt copy, the no-raw-scope invariant, and new overview tests
(balance-in-title, Add-funds-first, two-bar usage, no "credits").

* feat(cli/topup): mirror overview reorder + in-flight reauth resume

CLI parity with the TUI /topup rehaul, from the same shared usage model.

- _billing_overview: balance in the title, the two-bar dollar usage (plan name
  on the plan bar, top-up "never expires") in place of the old cap spend bar,
  "Add funds" first, dollars throughout — no "credits", no scope preflight.
- _billing_handle_scope_required: now takes the held amount + idempotency key
  and runs the in-flight flow — "Enable terminal billing" → browser device-flow
  → re-check the org kill-switch → press-Enter to resume → replay the held
  charge (reusing the key so a double-submit collapses to one). Stops leaking
  the raw billing:manage scope.
- Charge-error + buy/auto-reload copy de-crufted to terminal-billing/dollars.
- Tests updated to the new overview + buy copy.

* fix(billing): guard non-JSON 2xx responses in the billing HTTP client

A 2xx response with a non-JSON body — e.g. a reverse-proxy / SPA fallback HTML
page served when a billing route isn't actually mounted on a deployment — hit
json.loads() on the success path of _request() and raised a raw
json.JSONDecodeError. That escaped the typed-BillingError contract, so callers'
`except BillingError` missed it and fell through to a generic fail-open that
rendered as a misleading "not logged in" (observed when /api/billing/subscription
was briefly unshipped on staging: 200 text/html, x-matched-path /[...notFound]).

Now a non-JSON 2xx body raises a typed BillingError(error="endpoint_unavailable")
so surfaces degrade gracefully ("could not load …") instead of crashing or
mislabeling a valid session as logged-out. The 4xx/5xx path already guarded its
.json(); this closes the same hole on the success path.

Test: tests/hermes_cli/test_nous_billing_request.py — non-JSON 2xx → typed
error (not JSONDecodeError, not BillingAuthError), empty body → {}, valid JSON
parses.

* feat(billing/dev): add HERMES_DEV_BILLING_FIXTURE for offline card/scope testing

build_billing_state short-circuits to a fixture when HERMES_DEV_BILLING_FIXTURE
is set (mirrors HERMES_DEV_CREDITS_FIXTURE for the usage model). States:
nocard | card | card-autoreload | notadmin | billing-off | logged-out — so the
card-on-file gate, admin role, and kill-switch paths are exercisable offline
without a live portal. Env-var gated; returns None when unset (no prod leak).

Adds 8 behavior tests asserting the card/admin/billing-on contract per state.

* refactor(billing): fold /credits into /topup

/credits is redundant now that /topup shows the dollar balance + portal handoff.
Make 'credits' (and 'billing') aliases of /topup so typing /credits still works,
resolving to topup everywhere (CLI, gateway, Slack, TUI, autocomplete, help).

Remove the standalone /credits surface across 6 places:
- CLI _show_credits handler + dispatch
- gateway _handle_credits_command -> renamed _handle_topup_command, copy softened
  to 'Manage billing on the portal' (the messaging billing surface; /topup is now
  gateway-available so messaging keeps billing — credits was the only one before)
- TUI commands/credits.ts + creditsCommand.test.ts (deleted), registry entry
- tui_gateway credits.view RPC + the CreditsViewResponse type
- Slack _SLACK_VIA_HERMES_ONLY: credits -> topup

Sweep user-facing /credits -> /topup (usage-block hint, depletion notice) and
stale doc-comments. OpenRouter's /credits endpoint URL left untouched. Tests
updated (test_credits_folds_into_topup) or pruned for the removed symbols.

* fix(billing): card-on-file heads-up, no-card portal gate, /usage bar ordering, modal glyph

In-terminal charge (POST /charge against the org's server-held card, no card ref
leaves the client):
- card present: confirm screen shows 'Your card saved on the portal will be
  charged' + a 'Manage on portal' escape option (CLI); heads-up line (TUI)
- no card on file: /topup overview + buy flow detect it and route to the portal
  to add a card, instead of offering a charge that 403s no_payment_method

/usage bar ordering: route the dollar block through _cprint consistently. The
Plan: line (_cprint) and the bar (raw print) flushed to different buffers under
patch_stdout and interleaved nondeterministically; now Plan: -> bar -> status/CTA
is stable across all states.

Modal glyph: strip the leading emoji from bordered _prompt_text_input_modal
titles — it measures 1 char but renders 2 columns, shifting the box's right
border (the stray '|'). Includes the f-string 'Pay $X?' title.

Small /credits -> /topup string bits in cli.py ride along with the surrounding
charge edits (the fold lives in the sibling refactor commit).

* refactor(billing): apply safe simplify-pass fixes

Three low-risk cleanups from a parallel simplify review (reuse/quality/efficiency):
- dev fixture portal URL: reuse the prod host (was drifted to staging-* — a real
  mismatch vs subscription_view's _DEV_FIXTURE_PORTAL)
- TUI billingOverlay choose(): collapse two byte-identical branches (needsCard +
  the not-full else both = portal-or-close at index 0) into one tail; the only
  divergent path (full && !needsCard → buy/auto/limit) stays explicit
- /topup overview comment: correct the stale 'buy_flow detects no_payment_method'
  note (the overview's no-card gate fires first, so reaching Add funds implies a
  card on file)

Skipped (judgment): the orphaned CreditsView.depleted field (harmless, on a live
dataclass), the defensive card gates in _billing_buy_flow/_confirm_and_charge
(cheap correct defense on the money path), and folding the no-card handoff into a
shared helper (touches 4 money-path sites for tidiness — not worth the risk here).

* fix(billing): reactive charge gating — drop card preflight, react to 403 (scope→reauth, no-card→portal)

* refactor(billing): drop the /credits alias entirely

The /credits fold made it an alias of /topup; now remove that too. Typing
/credits is an unknown command, not a silent redirect — billing lives only on
/topup (with /billing kept as the old command's back-compat name). Dropped the
alias from the registry CommandDef and the TUI topup.ts; updated the test to
assert /credits resolves to nothing (no command, no alias).

* docs(billing): fix stale comment in _billing_overview — describe reactive no-card path

The comment still described the removed overview-level card gate ('no-card case
handled above'). Corrected to: the buy flow reacts to the server's
no_payment_method 403 and hands off to the portal at charge time (no preflight).

* refactor(billing): simplify-pass — share usage-payload helper, drop dead bar wire fields + redundant admin gate

* refactor(billing): drop the /billing alias too — /topup is the only billing command

Following /credits removal, retire the old /billing name as well. /topup now has
NO aliases — both /credits and /billing are unknown commands. Dropped the alias
from the registry CommandDef and TUI topup.ts; fixed the one live user-facing
straggler (the not-logged-in message said 'then /billing' → /topup) and the
_show_billing docstring/default-arg references. Test asserts /topup carries no
aliases and neither old name resolves.

* fix(billing): code-review fixes — money-path + parity bugs

Money path (TUI):
- auto-reload "Turn off" now echoes current threshold/top_up_amount so the
  PATCH succeeds (was sending {enabled:false} → invalid_request → stayed ON)
- charge poll honors the 5-min cap on the 429/503 throttle branch too (was
  rescheduling forever); cap folded into one timedOut() helper
- step-up resume reacts to the replay outcome instead of unconditionally
  closing on a reassuring line with no charge made
- synchronous submit guard on Confirm so two key events can't double-charge

Gateway:
- billing.step_up routes typed errors through _serialize_billing_error (was a
  raw {error:'error'} dict → generic copy for session_revoked)
- billing.state / subscription.state / usage.bars / session.usage moved to
  _LONG_HANDLERS (blocking portal HTTP no longer stalls the main stdin loop)

CLI:
- _billing_render_charge_error handles insufficient_scope without leaking the
  raw billing:manage scope name on a post-grant replay re-raise

Python model:
- subscription_view tier parse None-coalesces tierOrder/dollarsPerMonth so a
  free tier's 0 survives ($0, not "—"; correct sort order)

TUI parity/robustness:
- /usage shows formatted renews_display, not raw ISO renews_at
- subscription overview guards a null pending_downgrade_at (was "on null.")
- subscription overview surfaces a message instead of silently closing when
  portal_url is missing
- buildManageUrl wraps new URL() so a malformed portal_url can't throw out of
  the Ink key handler

* fix(billing): cross-surface bar direction, formatted cancel/downgrade dates, Slack alias gating

- CLI plan bar now fills by REMAINING (fuel-gauge), matching the shared model's
  fill_fraction, the top-up bar, and the TUI — same account renders identically
  on both surfaces (#8)
- subscription serializer emits cancellation_effective_display /
  pending_downgrade_display (format_renews); TUI shows 'Jul 1, 2026' not raw ISO (#14b)
- _SLACK_VIA_HERMES_ONLY now includes the 'billing' alias so it follows its
  canonical /topup via /hermes instead of leaking a native Slack slot (#9)

* fix(billing): thread idempotency key through the TUI step-up replay (#2)

Mint a stable idempotency key when the purchase amount is chosen; it rides
pendingCharge into both the Confirm charge and the post-grant step-up replay,
so a retried charge dedups server-side (the gateway already echoes the key).
A fresh amount selection gets a fresh key. Combined with the sync submit guard,
a double-submit now collapses to one charge.

* refactor(billing): remove dead /subscription tier-picker scaffolding (#18)

The in-terminal plan picker was cut (deep-link only), leaving a whole unreached
state machine. Removed end-to-end:
- TUI: ConfirmScreen, HandoffScreen, the 'confirm'/'handoff' screen types,
  pendingTargetTierId, and the now-dead onPatch threading (collapsed the dispatch
  to a single overview screen + folded the duplicate Box wrapper)
- gateway: the tiers serialization + SubscriptionTierOption wire type
- model: SubscriptionTier, _parse_tier, _coalesce, _dev_tiers and the tiers field
  (never displayed on either surface, so this supersedes the tier-parse fix)
- tests: dropped the confirm/handoff/tier-passthrough tests; slimmed the overview
  render tests

Net: a large dead-code cull (no behavior change — the picker never ran).

* test(billing): parametrize usage-model tests; drop dead is_low/is_free props

Collapse the fail-open + status-classification cases into parametrized tables
(same coverage, ~80 fewer lines) and remove the now-unused UsageModel.is_low /
is_free properties (only a test pinned them).

* fix(billing): revert dead 'billing' Slack-via-hermes entry — the alias was dropped

#9 was based on a stale review diff: /billing is no longer an alias of /topup
(dropped earlier), so routing it via /hermes filtered a name that doesn't exist.

* test(billing): cull redundant TUI billing tests (parametrize, merge dupes)

usageCommand: collapse 3 CTA tests into one + a panel helper.
billingStepUp: merge the two step-up render asserts.
topupCommand: parametrize requestRemoteSpending + the revoked-actor pair, drop
the redundant happy-path-submitted test. Money-path + error-mapping coverage
preserved.

* refactor(billing): extract _usage_bar_lines — one source of truth for the CLI bars

The plan + top-up bar format was copy-pasted across _print_nous_credits_block,
_subscription_overview, and _billing_overview. Extract a helper returning the
ready-to-print lines; each caller keeps its own print fn (the _cprint-ordering
constraint stays) and resolves its plan-name label. Centralizes the format so
the three surfaces can't drift.

* feat(billing): NAS V3 subscription-change HTTP client wrappers

Add the four write-side wrappers for the V3 subscription contract to nous_billing,
each a thin _request() call (reusing auth, JSON, 401-retry, typed errors):
- post_subscription_preview      → POST  /subscription/preview      (chargeless quote)
- put_subscription_pending_change→ PUT   /subscription/pending-change (downgrade/cancel)
- delete_subscription_pending_change → DELETE .../pending-change      (resume/undo)
- post_subscription_upgrade      → POST  /subscription/upgrade        (the money route)

pending-change takes a discriminated body (tier_change | cancellation); upgrade
requires an Idempotency-Key (mandatory, validated client-side before any I/O).
Tests assert the exact method/path/body/header each wrapper puts on the wire.

* feat(billing): subscription tier catalog + change-preview models

Reinstate the catalog the in-terminal picker needs (was culled when /subscription
was deep-link-only): SubscriptionTier + SubscriptionState.tiers + _parse_tier, with
_coalesce so the free tier's 0 tierOrder/price survives a falsy-or. Parse the
catalog from GET /subscription's tiers and seed _dev_tiers into every fixture.

Add SubscriptionChangePreview + subscription_change_preview_from_payload for the
POST /preview quote (effect/amountDueNowCents/effectiveAt/reason + tier delta); a
malformed/missing effect fails safe to 'blocked' so a bad quote never reads as a
charge. Module docstring updated: the overlay is no longer deep-link-only.

* feat(billing): gateway RPCs for the V3 subscription change flow

Add subscription.preview / .change / .resume / .upgrade RPCs, each wrapping its
nous_billing call and reusing _serialize_billing_error for the typed envelope
(so a 403 still drives the device step-up). upgrade mints + echoes the
idempotency key and surfaces status + recovery_url so the TUI can route an
SCA/decline to the portal. Re-add the tier catalog to _serialize_subscription_state
(price pre-formatted) for the picker. All four are pool-routed (_LONG_HANDLERS) —
preview + upgrade hit Stripe and must not stall the main stdin loop.

* feat(billing): in-terminal subscription change flow (TUI)

/subscription is no longer deep-link-only: it drives the change in-terminal
against the V3 contract via the new gateway RPCs. The overlay is a state machine
overview → picker → confirm → result:
- picker lists the tier catalog with upgrade/downgrade hints (current + free
  excluded; free=cancel, on the overview);
- confirm shows the previewed effect — pay $X now (upgrade) / scheduled at date
  (downgrade) / cancel at period end / blocked-with-reason — then applies it;
- an upgrade's SCA/decline routes to the portal via the result screen's recovery
  link; resume/cancel/downgrade are chargeless.

Starting a NEW subscription still deep-links (needs a fresh card). insufficient_scope
points to /topup (the step-up stays there, not duplicated here). Adds the wire
types (tiers + preview/upgrade responses), widens the overlay ctx + screen state,
and threads onPatch. Render tests cover every screen.

* feat(billing): in-terminal step-up + clearer scheduled-change UX (TUI)

Two improvements to the /subscription overlay:

Step-up re-auth in place. When a mutation (preview/change/upgrade/resume) returns
insufficient_scope, route to a new 'stepup' screen that grants terminal billing
via billing.step_up and AUTO-REPLAYS the held action on grant — no bounce to
/topup. Scope routing is centralized in previewAndRoute/applyPendingAndRoute/
resumeAndRoute (shared by the picker, confirm, overview + the step-up replay). The
browser opens via the shared global verification handler; copy never leaks the raw
billing:manage scope.

Make a scheduled change unmissable. A downgrade/cancel was one buried warn line
that read as 'nothing happened'. Now the overview leads with a banner
(⏳ Scheduled change · Ultra ──▶ Plus · <date> · you keep Ultra until then), the
status line echoes the transition (Plan: Ultra → Plus), 'Keep <tier> (undo)' is
promoted to the first olive action, the result screen says 'your plan doesn't
change today', and confirm gets a charged-now / scheduled chip.

* feat(billing): full in-terminal subscription change flow in the classic CLI

Bring the CLI to parity with the TUI overlay — /subscription is no longer
deep-link-only. A paid admin/owner gets picker → preview → confirm → apply,
mirroring the /topup buy flow's modal idioms:
- _subscription_change_menu (change / undo-or-cancel / manage-on-portal),
- _subscription_pick_tier (catalog with upgrade/downgrade hints),
- _subscription_preview_and_confirm (POST /preview → effect-aware confirm),
- _subscription_apply (schedule / cancel / resume chargeless; upgrade charges
  the sub's card, SCA/decline → portal),
- _subscription_handle_scope_required (insufficient_scope → step_up_nous_billing_scope
  inline, then replays the held preview/mutation — reusing the upgrade idempotency key).

Also the scheduled-change UX fix: the overview leads with a prominent banner
(⏳ Scheduled change · Super ──▶ Plus · <date> · you keep Super until then) and the
status line echoes the transition, matching the TUI. Members / non-interactive /
free still deep-link. Tests drive every branch via a mocked modal + nous_billing.

* fix(billing): close TUI subscription money-path holes (ultracode review)

- Un-consented charge (P1): the step-up now HOLDS at a 'granted' phase requiring
  an explicit Continue, and an abortedRef gates the grant's late .then — a cancel
  during the browser flow can no longer replay the held upgrade + charge.
- Missing idempotency key (P2): mint it when building an upgrade 'pending' so it
  rides into confirm AND the step-up replay (was always undefined → gateway minted
  a fresh key per call, defeating dedup).
- Navigate-away re-charge (P2): confirm 'back' is guarded by submittingRef while an
  apply is in flight.
- Ambiguous charge (P2): a transport-null upgrade is reported as 'may or may not
  have charged — re-check', never a flat failure that invites a blind retry.
- Typed step-up denial (P2): requestRemoteSpending returns {granted,error,message};
  the screen maps session_revoked / remote_spending_revoked / rate_limited to the
  right recovery instead of always 'an admin must allow it'.

* fix(billing): close CLI subscription money-path holes (ultracode review)

- Bounded step-up (P2): bust the 30s token cache after a grant (it held the
  pre-grant unscoped token; _request only busts on 401, not 403) and replay ONCE
  with allow_stepup=False so a still-denied scope can't re-prompt/re-open in a loop.
- Stray-keystroke charge (P3→near-P2): the upgrade confirm defaults to 'Go back',
  not 'Pay ' — a bare Enter can't move money.
- Fail-open on unknown effect (P3→near-P2): an unrecognized preview effect now
  fails SAFE (portal hand-off) instead of scheduling a real PUT.
- 'cancel' word collision (P3): the Close row uses value 'close' so typing 'cancel'
  can't hit it and falsely report 'Cancelled'.
- blocked effect re-offers the portal; undo is promoted to the first row when a
  change is pending (TUI parity).

* fix(billing): guard the step-up resume against double-fire (2nd ultracode pass, BUG A)

The P1 fix split the auto-replay into a user-triggered resume() on the granted
screen, where the default row is the charging action — but resume() had no
re-entrancy guard, so a double-Enter fired two replays (the upgrade dedups on the
shared key, but schedule/cancel/resume replays carry none → duplicate PUT/DELETEs).
Mirror billingOverlay.resume(): flip to a 'resuming' phase + a resumingRef so it
fires at most once, and block 'back' once resuming (no re-mount → no second submit).

* fix(billing): CLI charge-route ambiguous-charge caveat (2nd ultracode pass, BUG B)

The TUI hardened upgradeResult(null) but the CLI charging route did not: a
transport/timeout/500 (or unknown 2xx status) on post_subscription_upgrade — after
NAS may have already prorated + charged — printed a flat failure, and a manual
re-run mints a FRESH idempotency key the server can't dedup → a real second charge.
Now the charge route reports 'your card may or may not have been charged — re-run
/subscription to check before trying again' and steers away from a blind retry
(the CLI can't persist the key across a command re-run). Also thread allow_stepup
through the preview→apply replay (BUG C.1) and route the requires_action/
payment_failed portal lines through _cprint for deterministic ordering.

* fix(billing): cap the TUI step-up replay to avoid a resume-deadlock (final pass, R1)

The round-2 resume guard ('resuming' phase + resumingRef) could deadlock: on a
REPEAT insufficient_scope during the post-grant replay, the route helpers did
onPatch({screen:'stepup'}) — a no-op since we're already mounted on stepup (no key
→ no remount) — leaving phase='resuming'/resumingRef=true frozen on 'Applying your
change…'. Thread allowStepUp through previewAndRoute/applyPendingAndRoute/
resumeAndRoute; the resume() replay passes false, so a repeat scope denial surfaces
a 'still isn't enabled' result instead (mirrors the CLI's allow_stepup=False cap).
Also: applyPendingAndRoute(pending=null) now routes to overview, not a stranded
Promise.resolve().

* fix(billing): narrow the CLI ambiguous-charge catch to indeterminate outcomes (final pass, R2)

The round-2 fix caught EVERY non-scope BillingError as 'may or may not have been
charged' — but typed pre-charge rejections (BillingRateLimited 429, BillingSessionRevoked
401, BillingRemoteSpendingRevoked 403, role_required/no_payment_method 4xx) never
reached Stripe, so the ambiguity copy was wrong and dropped their real recovery hints.
Now route those to _subscription_render_error, and reserve the ambiguous copy for
genuinely indeterminate outcomes (network_error / endpoint_unavailable / status None /
5xx). Tests: rate-limit stays deterministic; a real transport failure stays ambiguous.

* feat(billing): card visibility + guided add-card path in /topup and /subscription

Consume the NAS card-resolver contract (card.resolvedVia + chargeability) across
both surfaces, degrading cleanly on today's NAS (fields absent → prior behavior):

- WHICH card: the payment lines render provenance — 'Visa ····4242 — the card on
  your subscription' (resolvedVia → label; unknown rung/older NAS → masked card +
  the old generic line). Link payment methods render the brand alone (last4 is
  empty — never 'Link ····').
- Presence at a glance: the /topup overview now shows 'Card: …' or 'No saved
  card on file' for the full-menu case, plus a warning when the resolver marks
  the card needs_repair (failing auto-reloads) on overview/buy/confirm.
- Add-card path: with no card on file, 'Add funds' becomes a guided screen —
  open the portal billing page, then 'I've added it — check again' re-fetches
  billing state and continues straight into the purchase (also recovers a
  transient display miss). Cards are never entered in-terminal.
- /subscription upgrade confirm names the exact card ('Visa ····4242 — the card
  on your subscription — will be charged'), best-effort via billing.state and
  only when the resolution rung matches what a subscription charge actually
  uses (subPin/customerDefault, mirroring Stripe's precedence); otherwise the
  generic line stands. Fail-soft: any lookup error keeps the generic line.
- Gateway serializes display/resolved_via/needs_repair; TUI ctx gains
  refreshState (topup) + fetchCard (subscription); new offline fixtures
  card-sub / card-repair.

Tests: TUI ctx mocks extended; CLI suites cover provenance + repair-warning
render, the Link guard, the add-card path (continue-after-recheck + abandon),
the sub-confirm card line, and keep the confirm-time lookup offline in tests.

* fix(billing): consume server canChangePlan, preserve distinct refusal codes, drop dead chargeability

- Parse canChangePlan verbatim from NAS payloads into BillingState and
  SubscriptionState; fall back to the legacy OWNER/ADMIN check only when the
  server omits the field (FINANCE_ADMIN stops being locked out where NAS
  authorizes it). Role model updated to the 5-role enum.
- Add the autoReload.card union (canonical | distinct | none) end-to-end:
  parse + gateway serialization, distinct carries payment_method_id/brand/last4
  with nullable display fields.
- stripe_unavailable (503, transient) and upgrade_cap_exceeded (429, daily cap)
  now survive to the wire as their own codes instead of collapsing into
  rate_limited; new exception types subclass BillingRateLimited so existing
  backoff call sites keep working.
- Remove card.chargeability / needs_repair parsing, serialization, fixtures and
  the cli warning blocks: NAS NousResearch#670 removed the field, so the repair path was
  permanently dead. The future card-health signal belongs to the NAS W1/W3 work.
- Tests: five-role fixtures, canChangePlan override/fallback, all three
  auto-reload card variants, 429-vs-503 code preservation end-to-end.

* feat(tui): render the full NAS billing refusal surface

- billingOverlay: divergence notice when auto-refill charges a distinct card
  (portal deep-link to reconcile); needs_repair warnings removed with the field.
- topup: explicit copy for consent_required, org_access_denied,
  upgrade_cap_exceeded, auto_top_up_disabled_failures and stripe_unavailable
  (honors retry_after); processing_error is an explicit charge-failure case;
  transport loss during charge polling now reads as an unconfirmed outcome
  (check balance before retrying), matching the revocation path.
- subscriptionOverlay: branch on upgrade reason, not status, so an SCA-needing
  upgrade routes to portal verification even while NAS pre-NousResearch#711 labels it
  payment_failed; after an upgrade, poll subscription state until the tier
  flips (bounded), rendering applying/still-applying rather than assuming
  immediacy.
- Capability-neutral refusal copy (owner, admin, or finance admin) replaces
  the stale org admin/owner wording.
- gatewayTypes: BillingAutoReload.card union added, needs_repair removed.

* docs(billing): client-side billing state and refusal lifecycle table

Enumerates, from the code, every billing.state shape and typed refusal the
gateway serves and the exact TUI copy + recovery each renders. Acceptance from
the billing-integration handoff: no NAS billing state or typed refusal falls
through to a generic toast; unknown codes still degrade to the default branch
that surfaces the server message.

marker so fatal Chromium sandbox deaths relaunch with --no-sandbox
(NousResearch#38216).
…sandbox loss

Follow-up to the salvaged NousResearch#66803 (@HexLab98):

- Two-strike boot marker: a single mid-boot abort (task-manager kill,
  power loss) no longer disables the sandbox — only a second consecutive
  abort, or a signature-confirmed GPU/renderer STATUS_BREAKPOINT death,
  engages --no-sandbox.
- Version-scoped stickiness: the fallback marker records the app version
  and re-probes the sandbox once after an update (new Electron or
  installer ACL repair may have fixed the host) instead of degrading
  forever. A failed re-probe returns straight to fallback.
- Launch-time icacls repair now runs only when the marker shows a prior
  aborted boot (icacls /T recurses the whole install tree — healthy
  launches skip it; the installer grants the ACE at install time), and
  targets the install dir only. The userData grant is dropped: granting
  S-1-15-2-2 RX on userData would expose Hermes sessions/config to every
  AppContainer app on the machine.
- Renderer crash-loop recovery (same class as NousResearch#56726, credit @Sahil-SS9
  in PR NousResearch#57414): a Windows renderer crash loop bearing the breakpoint
  exit code gets the same one-shot --no-sandbox relaunch instead of a
  dead window; unrelated crash loops keep the sandbox.
- Manual --no-sandbox launches are honored but never made sticky.

Tests: 15/15 windows-sandbox-fallback vitest; full desktop electron
suite 432 passed / 1 skipped.
Windows Notepad and PowerShell 5.1 Set-Content -Encoding UTF8 write a
leading UTF-8 BOM. json.load under encoding=utf-8 raises
JSONDecodeError("Unexpected UTF-8 BOM"), and load_jobs wraps that as
RuntimeError("Cron database corrupted and unrepairable"), taking down
cron CRUD/scheduler for a hand-edited jobs.json.

Read with utf-8-sig on all four independent jobs.json readers
(load_jobs primary + strict=False repair, dump _cron_summary, status
Scheduled Jobs). Write path stays plain utf-8 so the next save_jobs
heals a BOM'd file. Matches the env-class dialect (NousResearch#65123).

Tests: BOM load (crash repro), bomless regression, empty store,
BOM+bare-list auto-repair, BOM+control-char strict=False arm, dump and
status CLI readers.
Follow-up to the salvaged NousResearch#66609 (4 primary readers) and NousResearch#41604 (context
files): two more jobs.json readers rejected a BOM'd file —

- hermes_cli/backup.py _count_cron_jobs: a BOM made the count None,
  silently disabling the post-update cron-loss auto-restore safety net
- agent/curator_backup.py _backup_cron_jobs_into: BOM broke the job
  count (spurious parse_warning) and propagated the BOM into snapshots

Both now read utf-8-sig; curator snapshots are written BOM-free so
rollback restores a file load_jobs can read. AUTHOR_MAP entry added
for deacon-botdoctor.

Tests: BOM'd-live-file auto-restore + BOM'd snapshot count/BOM-free copy.
On Windows (and some Linux setups), an application like VS Code's
js-debug can hold 127.0.0.1:9222 while a Chromium browser launched
with --remote-debugging-port=9222 silently binds [::1]:9222 only.
The IPv4-only probe then (a) missed the live browser entirely and
(b) hung against the squatter — which accepts TCP but never answers
the /json/version HTTP probe — repeatedly, driving the whole connect
past the desktop GUI's RPC deadline:
'error: request timed out: browser.manage'.

Fix, applied to both the gateway browser.manage RPC and the CLI
/browser connect path via shared helpers in browser_connect.py:

- discover_local_cdp_url(): probe BOTH loopbacks (127.0.0.1 first,
  then [::1]) and adopt whichever actually speaks CDP.
- local_port_in_use() + find_free_debug_port(): when neither loopback
  speaks CDP but the port is held by another application, report the
  squatter explicitly and launch the debug browser on a nearby free
  port instead of fighting a bind conflict on 9222.
- Bound the gateway's post-launch wait to a 10s deadline (was up to
  20 unbounded probe cycles) so connect always answers inside the
  client RPC timeout.
- _wait_for_browser_debug_ready_or_exit() also probes dual-stack so a
  successful launch pushed onto [::1] is classified 'ready'.

Verified on a live Windows repro (VS Code holding 127.0.0.1:9222,
Chrome 148 on [::1]:9222): connect now resolves http://[::1]:9222
in ~4.5s instead of timing out.
The dual-stack discovery change made the default-local /browser connect
path call discover_local_cdp_url instead of is_browser_debug_ready, so
the old is_browser_debug_ready patch no longer short-circuited the
probe. On the CI runner nothing listens on 9222, so the test fell
through to a REAL chromium launch (which dies headless:
'The platform failed to initialize') and no context note was queued.
Patch the new discovery helper at the mixin's import site instead.

liveSessionProjectId bailed the instant a session had no cwd, so an
older/imported session carrying only a git_repo_root — which the backend
still groups under its project — got no project and rendered a grey idle
dot instead of the project color ("grouped but grey"). Anchor on the repo
root when cwd is absent, matching how the sidebar grouped the row, and keep
the sibling-worktree guard for the cwd-present case.
Auto-detected git repos ("inherited" projects) have no projects.db row, so
their menu hid appearance/rename/etc. entirely and they could never be

- lib/launch.mjs   attach, OR spawn a fully ISOLATED instance
- scenarios/*      one module per measurement, registered in scenarios/index.mjs
- run.mjs / serve.mjs, baseline.json, README.md

Isolation solves the long-standing measurement blocker: a running `hgui` held
the Electron single-instance lock, so a second instance quit. `--spawn` /
`perf:serve` launch with their own --user-data-dir (separate lock scope), their
own HERMES_HOME (separate backend/sessions, config seeded from ~/.hermes so it
reaches a chat view without onboarding), and their own --remote-debugging-port.
Synthetic scenarios drive $messages via window.__PERF_DRIVE__, so no LLM credits.

Scenario -> sunset script mapping:
  stream            <- measure-synthetic-stream, profile-synth-stream, profile-long-stream
  stream --real     <- measure-real-stream, profile-real-stream
  keystroke         <- measure-latency, profile-typing, leak-typing
  transcript        <- (new: long-transcript mount cost)
  submit            <- measure-submit, measure-jump
  session-switch    <- profile-session-switch
  profile-switch    <- measure-profile-switch
CPU profiling is now a cross-cutting --cpuprofile flag, not 5 separate scripts.

CI-tier scenarios (stream, keystroke, transcript) need no backend/credits and
are gated against baseline.json (seed values; re-capture with --update-baseline
on a reference device). Backend-tier scenarios are report-only.

perf-probe.tsx gains loadTranscript() for the transcript scenario. No core
files touched; isolation is via CLI args, not env-gated app changes.

Verified: node --check all modules, tsc, eslint, and a unit smoke of the
stats + regression-gate logic. The end-to-end GUI run (which opens a window)
is left to run interactively via `npm run perf -- --spawn`.
…h#67468)

Auto-detected git repos ("inherited" projects) have no projects.db row, so
their menu hid appearance/rename/etc. entirely and they could never be
themed. Add appearance to the auto-project menu: the first color/icon choice
adopts the repo as a real project (folder = repo root, name = its label)
carrying that look, after which it themes in place like any explicit
project. Routes both explicit and auto edits through one setProjectAppearance
helper; the picker closes on adopt so a stale second write can't double-create.
…debar and tabs (NousResearch#67469)

* feat(desktop): inherit project color on session rows

Sessions that belong to a colored project now pick up that color as the
sidebar row's idle lead dot, so work/personal/project buckets are legible
at a glance (Layer 1 of NousResearch#66565). Derived from the same project membership
the sidebar already groups by; active states (working / needs-input /
background / unread) still own the dot so the tint never fights an
attention cue.

* feat(desktop): share session color across sidebar rows and pane tabs

Route session color through one computed store ($sessionColorById) that
both the sidebar rows and the pane tabs read, so a session and its tab can
never show different colors. Recomputed only when the session list or
projects change (cold atoms — the streaming pulse lives elsewhere) and read
as an O(1) lookup, never re-derived per render.

Tabs previously had no color at all: the strip renders only a title string.
Add a generic `accent` to the pane contribution that the tab strip paints as
a lead dot; the session tiles (via paneMirror) and the main workspace tab
(syncWorkspaceTitle) feed it from the same shared map. Precedence now lives
in one place, ready for per-session override / agent-set color (NousResearch#66565).

* fix(desktop): resolve session color for repo-root-only sessions

liveSessionProjectId bailed the instant a session had no cwd, so an
older/imported session carrying only a git_repo_root — which the backend
still groups under its project — got no project and rendered a grey idle
dot instead of the project color ("grouped but grey"). Anchor on the repo
root when cwd is absent, matching how the sidebar grouped the row, and keep
the sibling-worktree guard for the cwd-present case.

…nt setup, Nous Portal activation (NousResearch#67473)

* fix(windows): suppress console-window flash in tools post-setup subprocess spawns

The desktop GUI runs post-setup hooks via a detached, console-less
'hermes tools post-setup <key>' child (spawned with windows_detach_flags).
But the hook implementations in tools_config.py ran their inner installers
(npm install, agent-browser install, uv/pip installs, ensurepip, cua-driver
version probes and installer) without Windows creationflags — and on
Windows a console-less parent spawning a console/.cmd child materializes a
brand-new console window, the 'terminal flash' reported on the
Capabilities > Browser Automation setup journey.

Add _post_setup_no_window_flags(), a local wrapper around
windows_hide_flags() (CREATE_NO_WINDOW only — DETACHED_PROCESS would sever
stdio and break capture_output), and pass it at every post-setup subprocess
call site. Spawns that stream live output to the user's console
(verbose cua-driver install) only hide when stdout is not a tty, so
interactive CLI installs keep their output. POSIX behavior is unchanged
(the helper returns 0 off-Windows).

* fix(desktop): make Capabilities post-setup idempotent — Installed state instead of unconditional Run setup

The GUI panel rendered the primary 'Run setup' CTA whenever a provider
declared post_setup, ignoring the server-computed readiness status the
config endpoint already serves. Users on Windows clicked 'Run setup' on
an already-installed Local Browser and watched it 'install' again.

Frontend: PostSetupRunner now takes installed (provider.status === 'ready')
and renders an 'Installed' pill + small 'Re-run setup' text button in that
state; onComplete still refetches the toolset config, so a fresh install
flips the row to Installed once the endpoint reports ready.

Backend:
- _POST_SETUP_READY extended: agent_browser now tracks the FULL local
  install (_local_browser_runnable: CLI + Chromium-or-Lightpanda) instead
  of the bare CLI check; new entries for the cloud 'browserbase' hook
  (CLI only — cloud rows host their own Chromium) and camofox (npm
  package present).
- _run_post_setup prints distinct 'already installed, nothing to do'
  messages for the agent-browser/Chromium/Camofox early-exits so the GUI
  action log tells the truth on re-runs vs fresh installs.

i18n: new postSetupInstalled/postSetupRerun/postSetupInstalledHint strings

* fix(desktop): let managed Nous Subscription rows activate from the GUI via the Portal sign-in flow

PUT /api/tools/toolsets/{name}/provider intentionally skips the Nous
Portal auth gate the CLI runs inline (ensure_nous_portal_access) — but no
desktop surface handled it. Selecting 'Nous Subscription (Browser Use
cloud)' from Capabilities wrote browser.cloud_provider=browser-use +
use_gateway=true and then silently never activated: _is_provider_active
requires feature.managed_by_nous, which stays false without the
entitlement, and the credential was never used.

Backend: after apply_provider_selection, the endpoint now checks the
managed row's entitlement (get_nous_subscription_features force_fresh +
the same per-category coverage gate the CLI applies) and reports the gap
with additive response fields {needs_nous_auth: true, feature}. The
selection is still persisted — activation is what's gated.

Frontend: handleSelect surfaces a 'Sign in to Nous Portal' warning toast
with a Sign-in action instead of the misleading success toast. The action
drives the EXISTING Nous Portal OAuth device-code flow (provider id
'nous' in _OAUTH_PROVIDER_CATALOG): POST /api/providers/oauth/nous/start,
open verification_url, poll /poll/{session}; on approval the panel
refetches the toolset config so is_active/status flip.

i18n: nousAuthNeeded*/nousAuthSignIn/nousAuthDone*/nousAuthFailed strings

…ousResearch#67472)

The cron backend has always supported per-job model/provider pins (the
dashboard web UI and the cronjob tool expose them), but the desktop app's
cron editor had no way to set one — every job silently ran on the global
default model.

- Cron editor gains an optional Model select, grouped by provider, fed by
  the same model.options catalog as the chat model picker (configured
  providers with available models only, curated order preserved).
- Resetting to 'Default (global model)' clears a previous pin (model and
  provider written as null); script-only (no_agent) jobs never touch the
  model fields since the scheduler ignores overrides for them.
- A pinned model that has since left the catalog stays visible and
  re-selectable instead of rendering Radix's blank trigger.
- Job detail pane shows the pinned model when one is set.
- ui/select grows SelectGroup + SelectLabel primitives for the grouped list.
- CronJob/CronJobCreatePayload/CronJobUpdates types carry model/provider;
  en/ja/zh/zh-hant locales add the two new labels.

The cronjob model tool schema is intentionally unchanged — model selection
stays a user-facing UX affordance, not an agent-facing tool parameter.

…ards with desktop (NousResearch#40338 follow-up)

Refactor the cherry-picked NousResearch#40338 backend half:

- Move option merging from import-time _SCHEMA_OVERRIDES mutation to a
  per-request overlay in GET /api/config/schema — options now reflect the
  current config.yaml (no restart needed) and the module-level
  CONFIG_SCHEMA is never mutated. The endpoint gains an optional
  ?profile= param scoped via _config_profile_scope.
- Keep builtin display order first, customs appended (drop the
  sorted(set(...)) re-sort) — matches desktop enumOptionsFor.
- Only command-type provider blocks count (type absent or 'command' plus
  non-empty command string), enumerated from the canonical
  <kind>.providers.* location AND the legacy top-level <kind>.<name>
  fallback — the same dual resolution as _get_named_provider_config /
  _get_named_stt_provider_config. Builtin-name collisions are excluded
  case-insensitively against the RUNTIME builtin sets (not the display
  shortlist), mirroring apps/desktop/src/app/settings/helpers.ts
  commandProviderNames (NousResearch#67209).
- Drop the plugin.yaml 'provides: [tts]' manifest scan — that convention
  does not exist (manifests carry provides_tools/provides_hooks only);
  plugin TTS/STT providers register at runtime via
  ctx.register_tts_provider(). Instead, opportunistically include names
  from agent.tts_registry / agent.transcription_registry when plugins
  happen to be loaded in this process.
- Current tts.provider/stt.provider value preserved in options.
- Tests: custom command provider merge (tts+stt), builtin-order
  preservation, EDGE collision exclusion, non-command block exclusion,
  current-value preservation, per-request freshness, legacy top-level
  block support.
…ts, vision link, web split, key deep-links (NousResearch#67482)

* fix(desktop): stop contradicting the Ready pill with the one-time-install hint

When a provider's server-computed status is 'ready' (post_setup install
verifiably satisfied, e.g. cua-driver on PATH), the PostSetupRunner row
still said 'This backend needs a one-time install (…)'. Swap the copy for
a muted installed-confirmation one-liner and keep the Run setup button for
repair re-runs. Gated purely on the provider status prop so it composes
with the server-driven resting state work in the sibling lane.

* feat(tools): surface the web search/extract capability split in the Capabilities UI

The runtime has dispatched web_search and web_extract to independently
configurable backends for a long time (web.search_backend /
web.extract_backend overrides with web.backend as the shared fallback),
but the Capabilities tab still presented one monolithic 'Web Search &
Extract' choice that only wrote web.backend.

Backend:
- GET /api/tools/toolsets/web/config now returns active_search_backend /
  active_extract_backend resolved via the REAL runtime getters
  (tools.web_tools._get_search_backend/_get_extract_backend), plus each
  provider row's web_backend key and supported capabilities (from the
  registry's supports_search/supports_extract flags).
- PUT /api/tools/toolsets/web/provider accepts an optional capability
  ('search'|'extract') that writes web.<capability>_backend without
  touching web.backend; validates the provider actually supports the
  requested capability (ddgs/brave-free are search-only). Omitted →
  unchanged legacy apply_provider_selection path.
- New tools_config.web_provider_capabilities() helper reads the plugin
  registry's capability flags.

Frontend: 'Search: <backend>' / 'Extract: <backend>' pills above the web
provider matrix, per-row 'Search backend'/'Extract backend' assignment
pills, and 'Use for Search'/'Use for Extract' actions gated on each
backend's declared capabilities.

Tests: endpoint tests assert the runtime getters resolve to the written
backend (searxng for search, firecrawl for extract) after the endpoint
write; vitest covers badges, capability-gated buttons, and non-web
toolsets staying untouched.

* feat(desktop): deep-link Capabilities key rows to Settings → API Keys

Set env-var rows in the toolset config panel now offer 'Manage in API
Keys' in the row actions menu — an internal route change to
/settings?tab=keys&key=<ENV_KEY>. KeysSettings consumes the ?key= param
via the shared useDeepLinkHighlight hook (same mechanism as the command
palette's ?field= config deep links and ?session= archived-session
links): scrolls the credential card into view, flashes it, and expands
it. Applies generically to every env-var row, and only when the key is
set (unset keys are managed inline via Set). i18n in en/zh/zh-hant/ja.

* feat(desktop): point the vision Capabilities detail at Settings → Models

The vision toolset has no TOOL_CATEGORIES provider matrix — its
provider/model resolution runs through the auxiliary model config
(agent/auxiliary_client.py), so the Capabilities detail pane looked
empty with no hint of where the model choice lives.

Add a short explainer + an internal deep link
(/settings?tab=config:model&aux=vision) rendered only for
toolset.name === 'vision'. ModelSettings consumes the ?aux= param via
the shared useDeepLinkHighlight hook and scrolls/flashes the matching
auxiliary task row (rows now carry aux-task-<key> anchor ids). No
external URLs. i18n in en/zh/zh-hant/ja.

* test(desktop): use type-alias imports for the react-router mock (lint)

* chore: drop accidentally committed node_modules symlinks

* chore: drop remaining committed node_modules symlinks (apps/desktop, apps/shared)

Salvaged from NousResearch#49948 by @helix4u: every desktop cron API call
(list/get/runs/create/update/pause/resume/trigger/delete) now carries
profileScoped(), so global-remote mode routes the request to the profile
the UI is acting for instead of silently hitting the primary backend's
default profile.
…ashboard cron creates to the backend's own profile

Two follow-ups to the per-job model pin surface (NousResearch#67472 / NousResearch#49948 review):

- cron/scheduler.py: pass target_model=<effective job model> to
  resolve_runtime_provider() on the primary path, so providers with
  model-specific api_mode routing derive the mode from the model the job
  actually runs (per-job pin > env > config default) instead of the stale
  persisted default. The auth-fallback path already did this for its
  fb_model.

- hermes_cli/web_server.py: POST /api/cron/jobs (and its sync worker) no
  longer hardcodes profile="default" when the request carries no profile
  param. A pool backend scoped to a named profile now resolves its own
  profile via get_active_profile_name(), so pre-profileScoped desktop
  clients can't write a named profile's job into ~/.hermes. Unscoped /
  custom HERMES_HOME keeps the legacy default fallback.

Tests: target_model capture test on run_job; two profile-default tests on
the create endpoint.
run_job now passes target_model to resolve_runtime_provider; the codex
401-refresh test stubbed it with a requested-only lambda. Widen to
**kwargs like every other cron resolver stub.
Salvaged from NousResearch#59888 by @isfttr: the profileScoped() fix itself landed
via NousResearch#67493 (salvaged from the earlier NousResearch#49948), but this PR contributed a
contract test locking all 9 cron helpers to the active gateway profile —
omitted when none is set (single-profile users unaffected), attached when
one is active. Keeps the multi-profile/remote cron routing from silently
regressing.
…gents while they work (NousResearch#67479)

* feat(delegation): live-viewable subagent transcripts for delegate_task

Each child now streams an append-only, human-readable log to
<hermes_home>/cache/delegation/live/<delegation_id>/task-<n>.log while it
runs, and the dispatch return includes the paths so the caller can tail
them immediately instead of waiting blind for the consolidated summary.

- New tools/delegation_live_log.py: LiveTranscriptWriter (per-event append
  + flush, one-line rendering with truncation, never raises into the agent
  loop), wrap_progress_callback (tees the child's existing
  tool_progress_callback events into the log, preserves the _flush
  contract), dispatch-time creation with pre-headered files so tail -f
  attaches immediately, manifest.json (goals/task count/per-task status),
  and 7-day retention pruning on new dispatches.
- delegate_task: wraps each child's progress callback with the writer;
  sync results and background dispatch responses gain live_transcripts
  (+ hint field on dispatch); per-task result entries carry
  live_transcript; transcripts finalized with exit-reason markers.
- async_delegation: dispatch_async_delegation_batch accepts an optional
  delegation_id so the live/ dir name matches the returned handle; the
  completion event carries live_transcripts.
- process_registry: consolidated batch-completion block references each
  task's live transcript path.
- Tool schema description documents the live_transcripts return surface;
  docs gain a 'Live Transcripts' section with a tail -f example.

Placement under cache/delegation means the logs are mounted read-only
into remote terminal backends for free. Side-channel only: zero changes
to message content, so prompt caching is unaffected. Transcript-OUT only
— no overlap with the subagent control surfaces of PR NousResearch#66046.

* fix(delegation): label the kickoff transcript line as user — it is the child's one user message
Salvaged from NousResearch#42654 by @digitalbase (earliest report of the leak, June 9):
the desktop sidebar and cron overlay showed EVERY profile's jobs because
GET /api/cron/jobs defaults to profile=all and the desktop never sent the
param — profileScoped() (landed in NousResearch#67493) routes the backend process but
adds no endpoint filter on local pools.

- hermes.ts: getCronJobs(profile?) appends ?profile= when given; omitting
  the arg keeps the legacy unfiltered path. profileScoped() still rides
  along for process routing.
- use-session-list-actions.ts: sidebar cron refresh passes the sidebar's
  profile scope (concrete profile → own jobs; ALL_PROFILES → 'all').
- app/cron/index.tsx: the cron overlay's refresh uses the same scope so
  the overlay and sidebar (shared $cronJobs atom) always agree.
- Tests: list ?profile= contract in hermes-cron-scope.test.ts; sidebar
  scoping in use-session-list-actions.test.tsx.

Reworked onto current main per the sweeper review: threaded through the
existing profileScoped()/list-param seams instead of the original PR's
pre-refactor call sites (DesktopController has since delegated to
use-session-list-actions).
Kimi's Anthropic-compatible endpoints (api.moonshot.cn/anthropic,
api.kimi.com/coding) implement the adaptive thinking contract — they
accept thinking.type=adaptive + output_config.effort (all of low,
medium, high, xhigh, max verified live) and return thinking blocks, and
the replay-validation 400s that originally motivated dropping the
parameter (NousResearch#13848) no longer occur.

_supports_adaptive_thinking() now returns True for Kimi-family models,
so they get thinking={type: adaptive, display: summarized} +
output_config.effort via ADAPTIVE_EFFORT_MAP instead of nothing, and
the blanket drop of the thinking parameter for Kimi-family endpoints is
removed. MiniMax and other non-adaptive third parties keep the manual
budget_tokens path; Claude behavior is unchanged.
simple-git's custom-binary validation rejects paths containing spaces, so
the default Windows Git install (C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\git.exe) made
every Review pane git call throw and the pane silently showed 'No diffs'.

The binary is resolved inside the Electron main process from known install
locations or PATH — never renderer/user input — so for spaced paths we opt
into simple-git's supported unsafe.allowUnsafeCustomBinary escape hatch
rather than falling back to PATH (often absent in GUI-launched apps).

Simplified from PR NousResearch#64713 by @unsupportedpastels; supersedes the 8.3
short-path approaches in NousResearch#55337/NousResearch#60156.

Fixes NousResearch#54888
…arch#67670)

- Resolve the vite CLI via vite/package.json `bin` (Vite 8's exports block
  importing vite/bin/vite.js directly — --spawn failed with ERR_PACKAGE_PATH_NOT_EXPORTED).
- Add a post-launch settle so cold-start contention (vite dep pre-bundling,
  first backend-connect attempts) doesn't contaminate the first scenario.
- Drop the raw autolink from the default stream chunk (resolvable URLs trigger
  link-embed DNS lookups unrelated to render cost).
- Replace seed baseline with real numbers from a darwin-arm64 --spawn run.
  keystroke + transcript are clean; stream is a clean single-run capture (the
  isolated backend may not connect, and its reconnect churn inflates frame
  pacing — re-capture on a connected instance for tighter tolerances).
- sessionColorFor: drop the no-op `?? undefined` (the map read is already
  string | undefined).
- sessionProjectColor: fix a now-stale doc line — a rootless (no cwd AND no
  git_repo_root) row returns null, not any cwd-less row (repo-root-only rows
  resolve since the grouped-but-grey fix).
- ProjectMenu.applyAppearance: await instead of a .then block; flatten the
  auto-branch's nested ternary.
NousResearch#67681)

Add a color picker to the session menu (an Appearance submenu of reusable
ColorSwatches, in both the dropdown and right-click flavors). The pick is a
per-session override that wins over the inherited project color; clearing
falls back to it.

Storage is desktop-local like pins ($sessionColorOverrides persistentAtom),
keyed by the DURABLE lineage id so a color survives auto-compression's id
rotation. Precedence folds into the existing $sessionColorById resolver, so
sidebar rows AND pane tabs pick it up with no changes to either — the payoff
of the shared store. To take this to the TUI later, promote this one atom to
a backend SessionInfo.color field; the resolver and picker stay put.
…ousResearch#67694)

Chased the "stream frame p95 = 60ms with ZERO longtasks" mystery to its actual
cause: the default stream chunk had no paragraph breaks, so it grew into one
giant ~22KB block that re-rendered fully every flush — defeating the block
memoization real streaming relies on. Plain text = 21ms; realistic chunk with
`\n\n` breaks (blocks settle, only the tail re-renders) = 23ms. Fixed the
default chunk to model real LLM output; a break-less `--chunk` remains available
as a single-block worst-case stress.

Also hardened the isolated instance so measurements reflect real cost:
- Wait for the gateway socket to actually connect before measuring (a booting/
  absent backend's reconnect backoff churns the main thread). Exposed via a new
  __PERF_DRIVE__.connected() probe reading $gateway.connectionState.
- Focus emulation + anti-throttle/occlusion flags so a backgrounded perf window
  isn't frame-throttled (no OS focus stealing).
- Generation-guarded the rAF frame recorder so repeated runs don't leave
  overlapping recorders polluting frame intervals.

Baseline re-captured as the median of 5 --spawn runs (darwin-arm64); all three
CI scenarios now green and stable. Absolute values are dev-build (noted in
_meta) — regression guards, not shipped numbers.
…rst-token (NousResearch#67697)

Stop drip-feeding scenarios: extend the harness to cover the latencies that
actually dominate perceived speed, and measure them on a REAL production build.

- --prod: build a production renderer with the probe included (VITE_PERF_PROBE=1,
  off in normal builds) and launch it from dist/. Measures minified React, so
  numbers are representative shipped figures instead of ~3x-inflated dev ones.
- cold-start scenario (tier "cold"): launch → CDP → driver → first paint, via a
  fresh isolated spawn per run. Captures spawn_to_cdp_ms, spawn_to_driver_ms, fcp_ms.
- first-token scenario (backend tier): Enter → first assistant token painted —
  the TTFT latency an agent app is uniquely judged on.
- run.mjs gained --prod (build once), cold-start fresh-spawn loop, and gates
  ci+cold tiers against the baseline.

Baseline re-captured on a PRODUCTION build (median of 5), darwin-arm64 — all
green. Representative numbers:
  cold-start  spawn→interactive ~1.6s, FCP ~0.5s
  stream      frame p95 22ms, 1 longtask
  keystroke   p50 2ms, p95 8.7ms
  transcript  mount 145ms, 82ms longtask (400-msg open)

The prod build also settled the open question from the dev numbers: the
transcript-mount "lead" (221ms longtask in dev) is only ~72-82ms in prod — not
actionable. Measurement did its job.
