Two complementary fixes for a silent partial-install failure that bit
``hermes update`` in the wild: a fresh checkout pulled 145 commits,
``rebuild_venv`` failed to recreate the venv on Windows because
``shutil.rmtree(ignore_errors=True)`` couldn't delete files held open by
the running ``hermes.exe`` shim. ``uv venv`` then refused with
"A directory already exists at: venv" and the update fell back to
installing on top of the stale venv. The resulting partial install
missed exactly one newly-added base dep — ``pathspec==1.1.1`` — which
``hermes desktop --build-only`` imports at the top of its content-hash
check. The desktop rebuild died with ModuleNotFoundError and the parent
update only logged "⚠ Desktop build failed (non-fatal)". Same root cause
made the "default: sync failed" line in the skill-sync stage, because
that sync subprocess hit the same missing import.
Fix 1: ``rebuild_venv`` retries with ``--clear``
------------------------------------------------
If ``uv venv`` fails with "already exists" in stderr (which is what uv
prints, and what uv's own hint tells you to fix with --clear), retry
once with ``--clear``. Only this specific failure pattern triggers the
retry — disk-full / interpreter-download failures still surface as
before so we don't mask real problems.
Fix 2: post-install dep verification
------------------------------------
Belt-and-suspenders so future uv resolver quirks (or any other cause of
partial installs) surface immediately instead of hours later in a
downstream subprocess. After ``_install_python_dependencies_with_optional_fallback``
runs, ``_verify_core_dependencies_installed``:
1. Reads ``[project.dependencies]`` straight from pyproject.toml
(so we don't trust the venv's stale metadata).
2. Filters by environment markers via ``packaging.requirements.Requirement``
so cross-platform exclusions (``ptyprocess ; sys_platform != 'win32'``)
don't false-positive on Windows.
3. Runs ``importlib.metadata.version()`` for each remaining dep inside
the *target* venv interpreter (resolved from ``VIRTUAL_ENV``, not
``sys.executable``).
4. If anything is missing, reinstalls the base group with
``--reinstall`` to force re-resolution. If a second probe still
reports missing deps, force-installs each one with its pinned spec.
5. Treats final failure as a warning rather than a hard error — a
single broken-on-PyPI dep shouldn't block an otherwise-successful
update — but the message points at ``hermes update --force`` and
names the missing packages so the user knows what's wrong.
Tests
-----
- ``TestRebuildVenv::test_retries_with_clear_when_dir_already_exists`` —
simulates the rmtree-couldn't-delete-it failure mode and asserts the
``--clear`` retry path is taken and succeeds.
- ``TestRebuildVenv::test_does_not_retry_when_first_failure_is_not_dir_exists``
— guards against masking real failures (disk full, etc.).
- ``test_verify_core_dependencies.py`` — 7 tests covering the happy
path, the regression (missing pathspec triggers --reinstall), the
per-package fallback when --reinstall doesn't help, the platform-
marker filter so Windows doesn't try to install ptyprocess, the
missing-pyproject noop, and the VIRTUAL_ENV resolver.

Replace the multi-path UV resolution chain (PATH probing, conda guards,
5-location trust ordering, temp-dir fallback installs) with a single
managed uv binary at $HERMES_HOME/bin/uv. Every code path that needs
uv resolves it from that one location; if missing, ensure_uv()
bootstraps it via the official standalone installer.
Key changes:
- New hermes_cli/managed_uv.py: managed_uv_path(), resolve_uv(),
ensure_uv() (returns (path, freshly_bootstrapped) tuple),
update_managed_uv(), rebuild_venv(), installer internals.
- hermes_cli/main.py: replace all shutil.which('uv') with ensure_uv(),
add venv rebuild on first-time managed uv bootstrap, update_managed_uv
before dep install on all 3 update paths.
- scripts/install.sh: install_uv() always installs to
$HERMES_HOME/bin/uv; delete ensure_fts5, _python_has_fts5,
_reinstall_python_with_fts5, _warn_no_fts5 (61 lines).
Managed uv always installs current Python with FTS5.
- scripts/install.ps1: Install-Uv always installs to
$HermesHome\bin\uv.exe; Resolve-UvCmd checks managed location first.
- hermes_state.py: simplified FTS5 warning now suggests 'hermes update'
as the fix instead of blaming install method.
- tests: 15 tests in test_managed_uv.py, autouse _patch_managed_uv
fixture in test_cmd_update.py.
