Two pieces of upstream promotion came out of this deployment.
The sidebar "apiRelay" tab only opened a registration page on a third-party
site, so it goes with no replacement.
The circuit badge next to Settings was not what it looked like. It opened an
ESP32 device manager: add a device, show LAN status, remote connect/disconnect,
rename, delete, backed by six REST routes and an mcu_devices table. The purchase
button inside that dialog was the promotional part; the rest was real device
management. Since the hardware is out of scope here, the entire feature is
removed rather than just the link that pointed upstream - UI entry, client API,
routes, controller, store, schema, locale strings, and the one GlobalAgentServer
method that only existed to answer its status column.
Table creation is dropped but no DROP TABLE was added, so an already-provisioned
database keeps its rows as harmless orphans instead of losing data on upgrade.
DevicesView and the hermes.devices route are untouched: that is LAN device
discovery, a separate feature.
AGENTS.md now records the removal so the badge does not come back.
Adds the checks that make the constraints from Phase 001-007 mechanical
instead of tribal knowledge, and clears the legacy brand text that was still
reachable at runtime.
New red-line tests:
- no-legacy-brand mirrors the harness scan under vitest, and asserts its
allow-list has not drifted from harness-check.mjs
- hermes-db-readonly classifies every new DatabaseSync call site by
following the path it opens, and fails if a state.db handle drops
readOnly. It also pins the one legitimately writable database.
- i18n-parity compares the raw zh/en locale objects both ways. The
existing coverage test merged en into zh at import time, so a key
missing from zh could never fail there.
harness:check gains the four missing gates from the phase brief - retired
package directories, retired package scripts, a single UI library, and the
required root files. Each was verified to fail by mutating the repo.
The online-update channel had hardcoded upstream URLs. It now reads
HERMES_WEB_UI_VERSION_MANIFEST_URL and friends and degrades with a named
error, because a reimplementation has nowhere to pull releases from.
The remaining legacy strings are deliberate and each carries a reason in the
allow-list: the global-agent relay address and the OpenRouter referer are
load-bearing, the socket role identifier is a wire contract, and the pre-rename
DB filenames would orphan existing deployments if changed. AGENTS.md now says
so explicitly, so a future agent does not "clean them up".
Also removes a dead electron mock alias, an i18n exemption that had stopped
exempting anything, and a teardown race in plugins-view.test.ts where a-spin
animation frames outlived the jsdom environment.
Verified self-contained: with reference_code/ moved aside, harness:check,
build, test and test:e2e all pass, so the directory can now be deleted.
- Drop all desktop/Electron branches, scripts, and UI (title bar, pets,
desktop bridge); LAN endpoint kind is now web/custom only
- Replace the bundled hermes CLI with user-side installation: add
GET /api/hermes/cli-status plus a HermesMissingView onboarding guide
- Remove the version-management UI (snapshots handled by git) and prune
dead website/mcu/claude scripts and lockfile entries
Every chat session now runs through the Hermes bridge, so the three chat
chains become feature-equivalent instead of three partially-maintained
dispatch paths. Keeping the coding-agent and in-house agent runtimes alive
meant every bridge change had to be mirrored into two more runtimes that
had already drifted.
Historical rows are read, not migrated: sessions stored with the retired
source normalize to cli on load, workflow graphs naming the retired agents
keep loading and run on the bridge, and the visible-source check plus
SOURCE_LABELS still recognize the old value so those sessions stay listed.
The public surface follows the code: the OpenAPI generator and the MCP
chat-run tool schema drop the six retired entry fields so external callers
are not told about runtimes that no longer exist.
harness-check gains a RETIRED_RUNTIME scan so the residual check is a
mechanical gate instead of a manual grep, with the two surviving read-side
compat sites recorded with reasons.

Removes the ekko / hermes-web-ui branding from the whole tree and drops
eight locale files, so the project presents one name and one language pair.
Data compatibility is deliberate, not accidental: DB filenames, the JWT
audience, and skill manifest ownership all still recognise their pre-rename
values so existing deployments under ~/.hermes-web-ui keep working without a
re-login or a re-injection.
scripts/harness-check.mjs now scans for the legacy strings and fails the
build on any new occurrence, with an explicit allow-list (and reasons) for
the compatibility paths that must keep them.
Import the client, server, skills, tests, and build scripts as the starting
point for the rebuild, then trim the surfaces this project does not ship:
Electron desktop packaging, the marketing website, and the ESP32 firmware
tree. CI keeps the web build, e2e, lockfile, release, and Docker workflows.
Rename the package and CLI entry points to hermes-ui, drop the prepare hook so
npm ci no longer triggers a build, and drop the removed tsconfig and nodemon
references. Rewrite AGENTS.md, ARCHITECTURE.md, DEVELOPMENT.md, and the READMEs
so the documented package map and hard rules match this repository.
reference_code/ is ignored: it is a read-only snapshot, not an input to the build.
