hermes --tui launches the native OpenTUI engine (Bun) when
HERMES_TUI_ENGINE=opentui (env) or display.tui_engine=opentui (config);
Ink stays the default and the shipping path is untouched.
- _resolve_tui_engine() (env > config > ink); refuses opentui on
Windows/Termux (no Bun) -> falls back to ink with a notice.
- _make_opentui_argv() -> [bun, src/entry.real.tsx] (no build step).
- _bun_bin() with HERMES_BUN override.
- Branch at top of _make_tui_argv BEFORE _ensure_tui_node (Bun-only host
must not bootstrap Node).
- Gate _launch_tui NODE_OPTIONS/--max-old-space-size on engine==ink (Bun
is JSC; the V8 flag errors/ignores).
Verified end-to-end via tmux: real hermes --tui -> Bun -> OpenTUI ->
real Python gateway streamed a real reply. No-flag default still ink.
The TUI docs presented HERMES_TUI_GATEWAY_URL + /api/ws as a supported
'attach the TUI to a standalone running gateway' workflow. It isn't.
/api/ws exists only inside the dashboard's FastAPI server
(hermes_cli/web_server.py), which spawns its own embedded TUI child and
injects the var as an internal wiring detail. The OpenAI-compat API
server (api_server platform) deliberately does not serve /api/ws, so the
documented ws://host:port/api/ws workflow 404s — the cause of #32882 and
the two PRs (#32904, #32955) that tried to add the route to the wrong
surface.
Rewrites the section in en + zh-Hans to describe the var accurately and
point users at shared state.db / dashboard embedded chat for multi-surface
session sharing.
Translates the full English docs corpus (335 files) into Simplified
Chinese under website/i18n/zh-Hans/. Combined with PR #31895 (cross-
locale link fix), the 简体中文 locale toggle now serves a complete
Chinese site with working cross-page navigation.
Pipeline:
- Claude Sonnet 4.6 via OpenRouter, 8-way concurrent
- Preserves frontmatter keys, code blocks, MDX/JSX, link URLs, brand
names, and technical jargon (prompt/token/hook/MCP/ACP/etc.)
- Translates only frontmatter title/description and prose
- Two largest files (configuration.md 93KB, research-paper-writing.md
107KB) retried with 64K max_tokens after initial fence-drift
- 3 manual post-fixes for MDX edge cases the model didn't escape:
< in optional-skills-catalog table, double-quotes in an alt= tag,
and a bare URL adjacent to a full-width period
Cost: ~$30 total (Sonnet 4.6 input $3/M + output $15/M).
Verified `npm run build` succeeds for both en and zh-Hans locales,
no double-prefixed /docs/zh-Hans/docs/ URLs in rendered output,
all in-page navigation resolves correctly.
Translations are machine-generated and may need human review on
specific pages — but they're an enormous improvement over the
previous state (3 zh-Hans pages out of 335).
