feat(curator): background skill maintenance (issue #7816) Adds the Curator — an auxiliary-model background task that periodically reviews AGENT-CREATED skills and keeps the collection tidy: tracks usage, transitions unused skills through active → stale → archived, and spawns a forked AIAgent to consolidate overlaps and patch drift.

"""Skill usage telemetry + provenance tracking for the Curator feature.
Tracks per-skill usage metadata in a sidecar JSON file (~/.hermes/skills/.usage.json)
keyed by skill name. Counters are bumped by the existing skill tools (skill_view,
skill_manage); the curator orchestrator reads the derived activity timestamp to
decide lifecycle transitions.

Design notes:
- Sidecar, not frontmatter. Keeps operational telemetry out of user-authored
SKILL.md content and avoids conflict pressure for bundled/hub skills.
- Atomic writes via tempfile + os.replace (same pattern as .bundled_manifest).
- All counter bumps are best-effort: failures log at DEBUG and return silently.
A broken sidecar never breaks the underlying tool call.
- Provenance filter: curator-managed skills are explicitly marked when
created through skill_manage. Bundled / hub-installed skills stay
off-limits, and manually authored skills are not inferred from location.

feat(cross-platform): psutil for PID/process management + Windows footgun checker ## Why Hermes supports Linux, macOS, and native Windows, but the codebase grew up POSIX-first and has accumulated patterns that silently break (or worse, silently kill!) on Windows: - `os.kill(pid, 0)` as a liveness probe — on Windows this maps to CTRL_C_EVENT and broadcasts Ctrl+C to the target's entire console process group (bpo-14484, open since 2012). - `os.killpg` — doesn't exist on Windows at all (AttributeError). - `os.setsid` / `os.getuid` / `os.geteuid` — same. - `signal.SIGKILL` / `signal.SIGHUP` / `signal.SIGUSR1` — module-attr errors at runtime on Windows. - `open(path)` / `open(path, "r")` without explicit encoding= — inherits the platform default, which is cp1252/mbcs on Windows (UTF-8 on POSIX), causing mojibake round-tripping between hosts. - `wmic` — removed from Windows 10 21H1+. This commit does three things: 1. Makes `psutil` a core dependency and migrates critical callsites to it. 2. Adds a grep-based CI gate (`scripts/check-windows-footguns.py`) that blocks new instances of any of the above patterns. 3. Fixes every existing instance in the codebase so the baseline is clean. ## What changed ### 1. psutil as a core dependency (pyproject.toml) Added `psutil>=5.9.0,<8` to core deps. psutil is the canonical cross-platform answer for "is this PID alive" and "kill this process tree" — its `pid_exists()` uses `OpenProcess + GetExitCodeProcess` on Windows (NOT a signal call), and its `Process.children(recursive=True)` + `.kill()` combo replaces `os.killpg()` portably. ### 2. `gateway/status.py::_pid_exists` Rewrote to call `psutil.pid_exists()` first, falling back to the hand-rolled ctypes `OpenProcess + WaitForSingleObject` dance on Windows (and `os.kill(pid, 0)` on POSIX) only if psutil is somehow missing — e.g. during the scaffold phase of a fresh install before pip finishes. ### 3. `os.killpg` migration to psutil (7 callsites, 5 files) - `tools/code_execution_tool.py` - `tools/process_registry.py` - `tools/tts_tool.py` - `tools/environments/local.py` (3 sites kept as-is, suppressed with `# windows-footgun: ok` — the pgid semantics psutil can't replicate, and the calls are already Windows-guarded at the outer branch) - `gateway/platforms/whatsapp.py` ### 4. `scripts/check-windows-footguns.py` (NEW, 500 lines) Grep-based checker with 11 rules covering every Windows cross-platform footgun we've hit so far: 1. `os.kill(pid, 0)` — the silent killer 2. `os.setsid` without guard 3. `os.killpg` (recommends psutil) 4. `os.getuid` / `os.geteuid` / `os.getgid` 5. `os.fork` 6. `signal.SIGKILL` 7. `signal.SIGHUP/SIGUSR1/SIGUSR2/SIGALRM/SIGCHLD/SIGPIPE/SIGQUIT` 8. `subprocess` shebang script invocation 9. `wmic` without `shutil.which` guard 10. Hardcoded `~/Desktop` (OneDrive trap) 11. `asyncio.add_signal_handler` without try/except 12. `open()` without `encoding=` on text mode Features: - Triple-quoted-docstring aware (won't flag prose inside docstrings) - Trailing-comment aware (won't flag mentions in `# os.kill(pid, 0)` comments) - Guard-hint aware (skips lines with `hasattr(os, ...)`, `shutil.which(...)`, `if platform.system() != 'Windows'`, etc.) - Inline suppression with `# windows-footgun: ok — <reason>` - `--list` to print all rules with fixes - `--all` / `--diff <ref>` / staged-files (default) modes - Scans 380 files in under 2 seconds ### 5. CI integration A GitHub Actions workflow that runs the checker on every PR and push is staged at `/tmp/hermes-stash/windows-footguns.yml` — not included in this commit because the GH token on the push machine lacks `workflow` scope. A maintainer with `workflow` permissions should add it as `.github/workflows/windows-footguns.yml` in a follow-up. Content: ```yaml name: Windows footgun check on: push: branches: [main] pull_request: branches: [main] jobs: check: runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - uses: actions/checkout@v4 - uses: actions/setup-python@v5 with: {python-version: "3.11"} - run: python scripts/check-windows-footguns.py --all ``` ### 6. CONTRIBUTING.md — "Cross-Platform Compatibility" expansion Expanded from 5 to 16 rules, each with message, example, and fix. Recommends psutil as the preferred API for PID / process-tree operations. ### 7. Baseline cleanup (91 → 0 findings) - 14 `open()` sites → added `encoding='utf-8'` (internal logs/caches) or `encoding='utf-8-sig'` (user-editable files that Notepad may BOM) - 23 POSIX-only callsites in systemd helpers, pty_bridge, and plugin tool subprocess management → annotated with `# windows-footgun: ok — <reason>` - 7 `os.killpg` sites → migrated to psutil (see §3 above) ## Verification ``` $ python scripts/check-windows-footguns.py --all ✓ No Windows footguns found (380 file(s) scanned). $ python -c "from gateway.status import _pid_exists; import os > print('self:', _pid_exists(os.getpid())); print('bogus:', _pid_exists(999999))" self: True bogus: False ``` Proof-of-repro that `os.kill(pid, 0)` was actually killing processes before this fix — see commit `1cbe39914` and bpo-14484. This commit removes the last hand-rolled ctypes path from the hot liveness-check path and defers to the best-maintained cross-platform answer.

The curator operates exclusively on this set. Skills are only eligible
after ``skill_manage(action="create")`` marks them in ``.usage.json``;
manually authored skills must not be inferred from filesystem location.
Bundled / hub skills are maintained by their upstream sources and must
never be pruned here.
