Both pre-release reviewers (Opus advisor + Codex regression gate) converged on
the same MUST-FIX:
- #3194: treating gateway_stale_stopped_state as 'configured' contradicted
#1944 (a stopped root gateway should read like 'not configured' so the
banner doesn't nag). Now ONLY stale-RUNNING metadata
(reason=gateway_stale_running_state or gateway_state=='running') flips
configured=True; stale-stopped falls through to bool(identity_map) like the
genuinely-unconfigured case. Updated the test accordingly + added a
stale-stopped no-regression test.
Opus follow-ups also applied:
- #2905: narrowed the populated-home markers to WebUI-only artifacts
(webui/, webui/sessions, webui/settings.json), dropping config.yaml/auth.json
so a long-time agent user installing WebUI fresh isn't wrongly diverted to
the legacy %USERPROFILE%\.hermes (auth.json predates #2897 there).
- profiles._resolve_base_hermes_home(): narrowed except Exception -> ImportError
so a real bug in the config helper still surfaces.
Adjacent suites green: #2840, #1879, gateway_status_agent_health (66 tests).
