- Docker env tests: verify _build_init_env_args() instead of per-execute
Popen flags (env forwarding is now init-time only)
- Docker: preserve explicit forward_env bypass of blocklist from main
- Daytona tests: adapt to SDK-native timeout, _ThreadedProcessHandle,
base.py interrupt handling, HERMES_STDIN_ heredoc prefix
- Modal tests: fix _load_module to include _ThreadedProcessHandle stub,
check ensurepip in _resolve_modal_image instead of __init__
- SSH tests: mock time.sleep on base module instead of removed ssh import
- Add missing BaseEnvironment attributes to __new__()-based test fixtures
SSH persistent shell now defaults to true — non-local backends benefit
most from state persistence across execute() calls. Local backend
remains opt-in via TERMINAL_LOCAL_PERSISTENT env var.
New config.yaml option: terminal.persistent_shell (default: true)
Controls the default for non-local backends. Users can disable with:
hermes config set terminal.persistent_shell false
Precedence: per-backend env var > TERMINAL_PERSISTENT_SHELL > default.
Wired through cli.py, gateway/run.py, and hermes_cli/config.py so the
config.yaml value reaches terminal_tool via env var bridge.
