plugin-tests / test (push) Failing after 5s
JP reported (Chrome) after b43e649:
- Sidebar buttons render ✓
- Adwright: useless middle black panel between sidebar and right area
- BTE: entire left sidebar disappears, only close-X recovers it
ROOT CAUSES:
1. webui CSS has `main.main:not(.showing-X):not(.showing-Y)... > #mainChat
{ display:flex }` which still matches when our class is svrnty-showing-*
(not in webui's whitelist). Chat rendered alongside our panel → the
empty void = "middle black panel".
2. BTE overlay was `position:fixed; inset:0; z-index:9991` — covered the
whole viewport including sidebar + topbar.
FIXES:
- Adwright + BTE CSS now `main.main.svrnty-showing-<id> > .main-view
{ display:none !important }` — explicitly hides every native main-view
(mainChat, mainSkills, mainTasks, ...) when our panel is active.
- BTE.css: overlay no longer position:fixed. Becomes a normal flex child
of main when svrnty-showing-bte is active. Sidebar + topbar stay visible.
- bte.js: _openOverlay now appends to <main class="main"> instead of
document.body. Migrates existing body-mounted overlay on first open.
Karpathy 4 rules: root-caused via direct CSS inspection (not guessing),
two-line CSS change per panel, no new abstractions.
svrnty-hermes-webui-plugin
THE single repo holding every Svrnty modification to nesquena/hermes-webui. Loaded at runtime via the plugin loader hook patched into the fork.
Protocol contract: hermes/docs/SVRNTY-PLUGIN-PROTOCOL.md — read this before contributing.
Adding features? Read CONTRIBUTING.md for the 5 recipes + decision flowchart.
Install
# 1. Install the plugin in the same venv as hermes-webui
pip install -e ~/workspaces/hermes/svrnty-hermes-webui-plugin
# 2. Tell hermes-webui to load it
export HERMES_WEBUI_PYTHON_PLUGIN=svrnty_hermes_webui_plugin
# or set in docker-compose.override.yml under environment:
# 3. Restart hermes-webui — endpoints under /api/* + assets under /plugins/svrnty/* land
Without HERMES_WEBUI_PYTHON_PLUGIN, hermes-webui runs vanilla (no Svrnty mods).
What's in here
| Dir | What |
|---|---|
plugin.py |
Entry point — register(api) wires routes + static |
routes/ |
One file per Svrnty /api/* endpoint (transcribe, vault_status, …) |
static/ |
Brand skin: app.js, app.css, Montserrat fonts |
CONNECTION-MAP.md |
AST-generated map of every upstream symbol this plugin touches |
scripts/ |
Tooling — AST walker, upstream sync, boot smoke |
tests/ |
Unit · integration · evals (each upstream-sync runs evals) |
.github/workflows/ |
Plugin-tests · connection-map-check · upstream-drift CI |
Public extension API
The plugin loader (one fork commit in hermes-webui) exposes exactly 7 methods:
api.register_route(path, method, handler) # add /api/<path>
api.register_static(prefix, directory) # serve files under /plugins/<prefix>/...
api.inject_script(url) # add <script> to index.html
api.inject_stylesheet(url) # add <link> to index.html
api.config_get(key, default) # safe upstream config read
api.logger(name) # namespaced logger
api.register_audio_attachment_processor(fn) # hook STT/voice attachment pipeline
Touching anything else in hermes-webui = a Rule 2 violation per the protocol. Document the escape hatch in CONNECTION-MAP.md under "forced internal dependencies".
Hygiene
make sync-upstream— one-command rebase against latest upstream + reportpython scripts/ast-connection-map.py— regenerate the mappython scripts/boot-smoke.py— start + curl every plugin endpointpytest tests/— full suite (unit + integration + evals)
Status
| Component | State |
|---|---|
Loader hook in hermes-webui |
✓ live (lone fork commit, 7-method API) |
| Plugin scaffold | ✓ live (routes/static/tests/scripts/.github) |
| Migrated features (vault_status, transcribe, brand skin, voice-message mic) | ✓ live |
| Automation (drift CI, AST connection map, sync command, eval suite) | ✓ live (Gitea runner registered) |
| Upstream PR to nesquena/hermes-webui | deferred — gated on 2+ release smoke (PRD Phase 4) |
| Forced internal dependencies | 0 (plugin uses only public API) |
| Test suite | 26/26 PASS (unit + evals) |
