# Worktree Runbook
Use a separate git worktree for agent changes so local user work remains
untouched.
## Create A Worktree
```bash
git fetch origin --prune
git worktree add -b codex/<short-topic> ../worktrees/hermes-ui-<short-topic> origin/main
cd ../worktrees/hermes-ui-<short-topic>
```
If the repository uses a fork remote, push to the remote requested by the task.
Do not rewrite or reset unrelated branches.
## Install
```bash
npm ci --ignore-scripts
npm rebuild node-pty
```
## Isolated Runtime
Use per-worktree state and ports to avoid colliding with a running local app:
```bash
export PORT=18648
export HERMES_WEB_UI_HOME="$PWD/.tmp/hermes-ui"
export HERMES_WEBUI_STATE_DIR="$HERMES_WEB_UI_HOME"
export UPLOAD_DIR="$PWD/.tmp/uploads"
npm run dev:web
```
Do not point `HERMES_WEB_UI_HOME` at a user's real `~/.hermes-web-ui` when a task
only needs local verification.
For Electron development, first run `npm run electron:setup`, then launch with
`HERMES_ELECTRON_USER_DATA="$PWD/.tmp/chromium" npm run dev` while keeping the
service home overrides above. Electron selects its own loopback service port.
## Browser Checks
For browser-visible changes:
```bash
npm run test:e2e
```
Prefer existing Playwright fixtures and mocked backend services. Add real-service
requirements only when the behavior cannot be represented with mocks.
## Cleanup
After a PR is pushed and no more local work is needed:
```bash
git worktree remove ../worktrees/hermes-ui-<short-topic>
```
Only remove the worktree you created.
