| description | Use only for stable/public Hermes Agent CN Desktop releases that should be visible to all users. Ensures the desktop repo version is synchronized and the separate landing repository updates its website version and https://desktop.hermesagent.org.cn/latest.json manifest for the same stable release. Do not use for rc, beta, alpha, canary, or other internal prereleases. |
Desktop Release Sync Landing
Overview
Use this skill only when a stable/public desktop release is prepared, published, fixed, or documented. A stable release is not complete until the landing repository has been updated so /latest.json points at the same version and users can download the matching installers.
Prerelease Rule
RC / beta / alpha / canary and any other prerelease or internal-test version must not touch the landing repository. Do not open a landing branch, do not update website copy, and do not point https://desktop.hermesagent.org.cn/latest.json at a prerelease. Prerelease builds are distributed through GitHub Release, manual download, or a dedicated internal channel only; the public website and update manifest must continue to represent the latest stable release.
Release workflow
-
Treat package.json in this repository as the desktop version source of truth. After changing it, run pnpm run version:sync and verify Cargo.toml, Cargo.lock, tauri.conf.json, workspace package versions, READMEs, and release docs are synchronized.
-
Run the desktop checks that match the change, at minimum pnpm typecheck, pnpm test:unit, and cargo check. For release PRs also run cargo fmt --check, cargo clippy --all-features -- -D warnings, and cargo test --all-features when practical.
-
After the GitHub Release exists, get the authoritative release and asset metadata with:
gh release view v$VERSION -R Eynzof/Hermes-CN-Desktop --json tagName,publishedAt,url,assets
Do not invent size, sha256, publishedAt, or installer URLs. If the release job has not produced assets yet, stop and state that the landing sync is blocked on release assets.
If $VERSION contains a prerelease suffix such as -rc, -beta, -alpha, or -canary, stop here and report that landing sync is intentionally forbidden for prereleases.
-
The human opens a separate branch for Eynzof/hermes-agent-cn-desktop-landing, for example codex/update-desktop-latest-json. The coding agent only prepares the landing file edits below and never runs git operations — branch / commit / push / PR are executed by the human (see docs/agents/git-workflow.md §5).
-
In the landing repo, update the public release state for the same desktop version:
src/site.config.ts: set VERSION to the bare semver, for example 0.3.0.public/_worker.js: update MANIFEST.version, MANIFEST.semver, publishedAt, sourceUrl, updatedAt, asset fileName, size, sha256, versionedUrl, sourceUrl, and /releases/v... redirect entries.src/i18n/zh.ts and src/i18n/en.ts: update visible Alpha/current-version copy when it names the old version.docs/PRD.md: update the associated product version if it names the old version.
Keep https://desktop.hermesagent.org.cn/latest.json as the update manifest endpoint and https://desktop.hermesagent.org.cn/#download as the manual download entry.
-
Validate the landing change with pnpm build. Also directly exercise the worker manifest path when possible:
node -e "import('./public/_worker.js').then(async (m) => { const r = await m.default.fetch(new Request('https://desktop.hermesagent.org.cn/latest.json'), {}); console.log(r.status, await r.text()); })"
Confirm the response contains the same version, semver, asset names, sizes, hashes, and release URLs as the GitHub Release.
-
The human commits and opens PRs for both repositories when both changed (the coding agent must not do this). Mention the landing PR from the desktop release PR, or clearly state when landing did not need changes.
Guardrails
- Coding agents never run git operations (commit / push / pull / checkout / branch / worktree / PR). Landing repo changes are prepared by the agent and committed, pushed, and PRed by the human; see
docs/agents/git-workflow.md.
Do not close a stable/public release task by only updating this desktop repository when the public version changed. Either update landing in the same work session or explicitly report that landing sync is pending and why.
For prerelease tasks, the correct outcome is the opposite: explicitly state that landing/latest.json was not changed because prereleases must not be visible through the public website or public update manifest.
Do not change the release repository identity in landing just because GitHub redirects between Eynzof/hermes-agent-cn-desktop and Eynzof/Hermes-CN-Desktop; trust gh release view and preserve the canonical repository used by the current landing manifest unless live release metadata proves otherwise.
