* test: deflake CI and dev-machine flaky tests in bulk
Fixes ten distinct flake sources found by mining recent CI failures and
running the full suite on a dev machine with real user state:
CI-observed races:
- tests/conftest.py live-system guard: allow signal 0 (pure liveness
probe) through _guarded_kill/_guarded_killpg. psutil.pid_exists()
probes a just-killed grandchild reparented to init; the subtree check
fails for it and the guard RuntimeError'd
test_entire_tree_is_sigkilled_not_just_parent intermittently on
unrelated PRs.
Hermeticity flakes (fail on dev machines with real state, pass on CI):
- agent/coding_context.py: _marker_root() now skips the shared temp
root (tempfile.gettempdir()) like it skips $HOME — a stray
/tmp/package.json flipped every tmp_path test into the coding
posture (9 failures in test_coding_context.py).
- test_agent_guardrails.py: pin MAX_CONCURRENT_CHILDREN=3 via autouse
monkeypatch instead of freezing the user's real config value at
import time (import-time vs call-time config mismatch).
- test_web_tools_config.py: TestCheckWebApiKey now neutralizes the
ddgs package probe and registry providers — the optional ddgs
package in a dev venv lit up the fallback backend.
- test_credential_pool.py: block claude_code/hermes-oauth credential
autodiscovery in the two pool-merge tests that assert exact id
lists (a real ~/.claude/.credentials.json seeded an extra entry).
- test_modal_sandbox_fixes.py: clear _permanent_approved /
_session_approved — the user's real command_allowlist silently
approved the guard-escalation commands under test.
- test_setup_irc.py: stub prompt_checklist to select only the IRC row;
the non-TTY cancel fallback re-ran the real configured platforms'
interactive setup_fn, which hit input() under captured stdin.
- test_doctor.py: TestGitHubTokenCheck now patches the module-level
HERMES_HOME constant (the file's established pattern) instead of
only setenv — doctor was running PRAGMA integrity_check against the
real multi-GB state.db and blowing the 300s per-file budget.
Latent atexit-duplication (same _enter_buffered_busy class as #34217):
- test_undo_command.py: drop importlib.reload(tui_gateway.server) in
fixture teardown; reload re-registers the module's atexit hooks.
- test_session_platform_resolution.py: drop per-test reload of
tui_gateway.server; every resolver reads env at call time.
* test: sentinel model value in ignore-user-config fallback assertion
With HERMES_IGNORE_USER_CONFIG=1, load_cli_config() falls back to the
repo-root cli-config.yaml (untracked, gitignored). On a dev machine that
file can legitimately set the same popular model the test hardcoded
(anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6), flipping the != assertion locally while
CI (no cli-config.yaml) stayed green. Use an impossible sentinel model
name instead.
Pull the top-level + chat parser construction out of main() into
hermes_cli/_parser.py so relaunch.py can introspect parser._actions to
discover which flags exist and whether they take values, instead of
maintaining a parallel hand-rolled (flag, takes_value) tuple list.
- _parser.py: build_top_level_parser() returns (parser, subparsers,
chat_parser); side-effect-free import.
- main.py: ~290 lines of inline parser construction collapsed to a
helper call. Other subparsers stay inline (dispatch is bound to
module-level cmd_* functions).
- _parser._inherited_flag(parser, ...): wraps parser.add_argument and
sets action.inherit_on_relaunch = True. Used in place of
parser.add_argument for the 25 flags (top-level + chat) that need to
carry over.
- _parser.PRE_ARGPARSE_INHERITED_FLAGS: holds --profile/-p, which
isn't on argparse (consumed earlier by main._apply_profile_override).
- relaunch.py: drops _CRITICAL_DESTS and _PRE_ARGPARSE_FLAGS; the table
builder now filters by getattr(action, 'inherit_on_relaunch', False).
- test_ignore_user_config_flags.py: brittle inspect.getsource grep
replaced with proper parser introspection.
- test_relaunch.py: introspection sanity tests added.
Salvaged from PR #17549; added top-level -t/--toolsets flag to
_parser.py so #17623 (fix(tui): honor launch toolsets) behavior is
preserved on current main.

Port from openai/codex#18646.
Adds two flags to 'hermes chat' that fully isolate a run from user-level
configuration and rules:
* --ignore-user-config: skip ~/.hermes/config.yaml and fall back to
built-in defaults. Credentials in .env are still loaded so the agent
can actually call a provider.
* --ignore-rules: skip auto-injection of AGENTS.md, SOUL.md,
.cursorrules, and persistent memory (maps to AIAgent(skip_context_files=True,
skip_memory=True)).
Primary use cases:
- Reproducible CI runs that should not pick up developer-local config
- Third-party integrations (e.g. Chronicle in Codex) that bring their
own config and don't want user preferences leaking in
- Bug-report reproduction without the reporter's personal overrides
- Debugging: bisect 'was it my config?' vs 'real bug' in one command
Both flags are registered on the parent parser AND the 'chat' subparser
(with argparse.SUPPRESS on the subparser to avoid overwriting the parent
value when the flag is placed before the subcommand, matching the
existing --yolo/--worktree/--pass-session-id pattern).
Env vars HERMES_IGNORE_USER_CONFIG=1 and HERMES_IGNORE_RULES=1 are set
by cmd_chat BEFORE 'from cli import main' runs, which is critical
because cli.py evaluates CLI_CONFIG = load_cli_config() at module import
time. The cli.py / hermes_cli.config.load_cli_config() function checks
the env var and skips ~/.hermes/config.yaml when set.
Tests: 11 new tests in tests/hermes_cli/test_ignore_user_config_flags.py
covering the env gate, constructor wiring, cmd_chat simulation, and
argparse flag registration. All pass; existing hermes_cli + cli suites
unaffected (3005 pass, 2 pre-existing unrelated failures).
