* fix(#4164): bound project-context file walk in non-git workspaces
_project_context_candidates mirrored the agent's _find_hermes_md exactly,
including the bug that 'stop_at = git_root' is None in a non-git tree —
so the walk 'for directory in [cwd, *cwd.parents]: ... if stop_at and
directory == stop_at: break' never broke and ran to filesystem root.
A workspace at /tmp/x/project/subdir could surface /tmp/x/HERMES.md
(a file outside the workspace) in the Memory > Project Context tab.
Fix: when no git root is found, treat the workspace itself as the stop
boundary. The cwd is still scanned (preserving in-workspace AGENTS.md /
HERMES.md behavior), but parents are skipped — we never walk into the
user's home directory or /tmp.
Git workspaces are unchanged (still walk up to the git root). The
existing test_3866 walk-to-git-root test still passes.
The issue notes the agent-side walk in agent/prompt_builder._find_hermes_md
should be bounded the same way for full parity; that lives in a separate
repo (hermes-agent), so this PR fixes only the WebUI side. Until the
agent ships the same bound, the WebUI tab will under-report context
files that live above a non-git workspace — strictly less surprising
than the previous over-report.
tests/test_issue4164_bound_non_git_project_context_walk.py (4 tests) pins:
- non-git workspace does not leak a parent HERMES.md
- non-git workspace still reads in-workspace context files
- git workspace walk-to-git-root is unchanged
- workspace-level HERMES.md wins, parent copy doesn't appear even shadowed
All 10 existing test_3866_project_context_memory_section tests still pass.
Closes#4164.
* chore(release): stamp v0.51.428 (Release OO) for #4164
