Before packaging, `stage:hermes` copies the Python Hermes payload into `build/hermes-agent`. Electron Builder then ships it as `Contents/Resources/hermes-agent`.
## Automated Releases
Desktop installers are published by [`.github/workflows/desktop-release.yml`](../../.github/workflows/desktop-release.yml) with two channels:
- **Stable:** runs on published GitHub releases and uploads signed artifacts to that release tag.
- **Nightly:** runs on `main` pushes and updates the rolling `desktop-nightly` prerelease.
The workflow injects a channel-aware desktop version at build time:
- stable: derived from the release tag (for example `v2026.5.5` -> `2026.5.5`)
- nightly: `0.0.0-nightly.YYYYMMDD.<sha>`
Artifact names include channel, platform, and architecture:
```text
Hermes-<version>-<channel>-<platform>-<arch>.<ext>
```
Each run also publishes `SHA256SUMS-<platform>.txt` so installers can be verified.
### Stable release gates
Stable builds fail fast if signing credentials are missing:
- macOS signing + notarization: `CSC_LINK`, `CSC_KEY_PASSWORD`, `APPLE_API_KEY`, `APPLE_API_KEY_ID`, `APPLE_API_ISSUER`
- Windows signing: `WIN_CSC_LINK`, `WIN_CSC_KEY_PASSWORD`
Stable macOS builds also validate stapling and Gatekeeper assessment in CI before upload.
## Icons
Desktop icons live in `assets/`:
