BUG-1 (medium): _validate_profile_name() used re.match() with a $ anchor.
re.match() with $ is truthy for 'name\n' because match() allows trailing
content after the $ in multiline mode. Changed to re.fullmatch() which
requires the entire string to match — trailing newlines now correctly rejected.
BUG-2 (medium/defense-in-depth): create_profile_api() validated 'name' via
_validate_profile_name() but passed clone_from directly to hermes_cli and
_create_profile_fallback() without validation. Added clone_from validation
inside create_profile_api() (skipping 'default' which is a valid clone source).
routes.py already validates it at the HTTP layer; this adds API-layer defense.
BUG-3 (low): When hermes_cli is not importable (the exact Docker case this PR
targets), list_profiles_api() also returns only the stub default dict and
can't find the newly created profile by name. The fallback return was a
2-key dict {name, path} — incomplete vs the 9-key schema everywhere else.
Expanded to the full profile dict with all fields so API clients get
consistent data regardless of hermes_cli availability.
OBS-4 (low/TOCTOU): _create_profile_fallback() checked profile_dir.exists()
then called mkdir(exist_ok=True). If a concurrent request created the dir
between those two calls, mkdir silently succeeded — defeating the
FileExistsError guard. Changed to mkdir(exist_ok=False) so the OS raises
FileExistsError atomically if the dir appears in the race window.
Tests: 423 passed, 0 failed.
When hermes-agent is not discoverable (common in Docker), create_profile_api()
raised a hard RuntimeError while list and delete already had manual fallbacks.
Changes:
- Add _create_profile_fallback() that bootstraps profile directory structure
directly (matching upstream hermes_cli.profiles: 8 subdirs + config clone)
- Extract _validate_profile_name() so validation works without hermes_cli
- Add constants _PROFILE_ID_RE, _PROFILE_DIRS, _CLONE_CONFIG_FILES matching
upstream hermes-agent
- Remove :ro from docker-compose.yml hermes home mount so profiles dir is
writable inside the container

Root cause: _DEFAULT_HERMES_HOME was evaluated at module import time from
os.getenv('HERMES_HOME'). HERMES_HOME is a MUTABLE env var -- init_profile_state()
at server startup calls _set_hermes_home() which writes to os.environ['HERMES_HOME'].
If the sticky active_profile file pointed to e.g. 'webui', HERMES_HOME was set to
~/.hermes/profiles/webui BEFORE api/profiles.py imported. So _DEFAULT_HERMES_HOME
resolved to ~/.hermes/profiles/webui. Then switch_profile('webui') computed:
home = ~/.hermes/profiles/webui / 'profiles' / 'webui'
= ~/.hermes/profiles/webui/profiles/webui -- doesn't exist -> 404 ValueError
Fix: replace the one-liner assignment with _resolve_base_hermes_home() which:
1. Checks HERMES_BASE_HOME env var (explicit override)
2. Checks HERMES_HOME -- but if it looks like a profiles/ subdir (parent.name ==
'profiles'), walks up two levels to the actual base
3. Falls back to Path.home() / '.hermes'
This means the server can start with HERMES_HOME pointing to any profile and
_DEFAULT_HERMES_HOME will still correctly point to ~/.hermes.
Also fix: api() helper in workspace.js was throwing new Error(await res.text())
which surfaced raw JSON to the UI: 'Switch failed: {"error":"Profile X does not exist."}'
Now parses the JSON and extracts j.error so the toast shows clean human-readable text.
Regression tests added in test_sprint23.py:
- test_profile_switch_base_home_not_subdir: static analysis verifying the resolver
- test_api_helper_returns_clean_error_message: verifies api() parses JSON errors
- test_profile_switch_resolve_base_home_logic: verifies the profiles/ subdir detection
Tests: 426 passed, 0 failed.
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.
Fix five coherence bugs in profile switching:
1. Model picker ignored profile default (localStorage stale key)
2. Workspace list was global (not profile-scoped)
3. DEFAULT_WORKSPACE was a boot-time singleton
4. Session list showed all profiles (no filtering)
5. switchToProfile() didn't refresh workspaces or sessions
Backend: workspace storage is now profile-local for named profiles,
switch_profile() returns default_model and default_workspace.
Frontend: switchToProfile() clears stale model pref, refreshes
workspace list and session list, sessions.js filters by active profile
with 'Show N from other profiles' toggle.
8 new tests. 400 pass / 23 fail (identical to baseline).

Add full profile management to the web UI, matching the hermes-agent CLI
profile system. Profiles are isolated HERMES_HOME instances with their own
config, skills, memory, cron, and API keys.
Backend: new api/profiles.py wrapping hermes_cli.profiles, dynamic config
reloading, 5 new API endpoints, profile-aware path resolution, HERMES_HOME
env save/restore in streaming, module-level cache patching for skills_tool
and cron/jobs.
Frontend: profile chip in topbar with dropdown, Profiles sidebar panel with
CRUD UI, boot-time profile fetch, cascade refresh on switch.
