BUG-1 (critical): api/profiles.py _DEFAULT_HERMES_HOME used Path.home()/.hermes
hardcoded, ignoring the HERMES_HOME env var. conftest.py sets HERMES_HOME to a
test-isolated state dir -- but profiles.py bypassed it and read/wrote real ~/.hermes
during every test run (active_profile file, .env loading). Fixed by reading
os.getenv('HERMES_HOME', ...) at module load time.
BUG-7 (medium): api/workspace.py load_workspaces() fell back to the global
workspaces.json for ALL profiles when their profile-local file didn't exist yet.
New named profiles silently inherited the default profile's workspace list instead
of starting clean. Fixed: the global file fallback now only applies to the default
profile (migration path); named profiles start with a fresh default entry.
BUG-4 (high): test_sessions_list_includes_profile had a vacuous 'if matching:'
guard -- if the session wasn't found the assert was silently skipped and the test
passed. Fixed with hard assert. Also changed to use /api/session?session_id=
directly instead of scanning /api/sessions (which filters out empty Untitled
sessions with 0 messages, causing the test to always see an empty match list).
BUG-5 / test ordering regression: test_profile_switch_returns_default_model_and_workspace
failed with 409 because test_chat_stream_opens_successfully (runs earlier in the
suite) starts a real LLM stream that stays alive in STREAMS. Added a wait loop
(up to 30s) polling /health active_streams before attempting the profile switch.
BUG-8 (low): Removed dead import _profile_default_workspace in switch_profile()
-- was imported but never used (get_last_workspace() already delegates to it).
Also: test_profile_active_endpoint hardcoded assert data['name'] == 'default'
which fails if a prior run left a non-default active_profile on disk. Changed
to assert name is a non-empty string (the endpoint contract), not a specific value.
Tests: 423 passed, 0 failed.
