Root cause: routes/umbrella.py:31 registered /umbrella (non-/api/* path)
which the plugin loader rejects with ValueError per SVRNTY-PLUGIN-PROTOCOL
§5.1. The ValueError bubbled out of register() before the two valid
/api/umbrella* routes could be registered, so /api/umbrella returned 404.
Note: task description fingered vault_status.py:46 as a "recursion bug",
but L46 there is handler.wfile.write(body) — no recursion. The _plugin_h
calls in tracebacks come from hermes-webui/api/routes.py:3462 (the
dispatcher, correctly invoking plugin handlers). The vault_status
BrokenPipeErrors are unrelated client-disconnect noise from a slow
credctl subprocess, not what breaks /api/umbrella.
Fix:
- Drop api.register_route("/umbrella", ...) line that violated /api/* contract
- Remove now-orphaned _handle_panel_html (Karpathy rule 3 cleanup)
- Add docstring noting umbrella panel HTML is reached via
/plugins/svrnty/umbrella.html (already served by register_static)
Verified: /api/umbrella returns 200 + umbrella.json after restart.
