Drop the swe-rex dependency for Modal terminal backend and use the Modal SDK directly (Sandbox.create + Sandbox.exec). This fixes: - AsyncUsageWarning from synchronous App.lookup() in async context - DeprecationError from unencrypted_ports / .url on unencrypted tunnels (deprecated 2026-03-05) The new implementation: - Uses modal.App.lookup.aio() for async-safe app creation - Uses Sandbox.create.aio() with 'sleep infinity' entrypoint - Uses Sandbox.exec.aio() for direct command execution (no HTTP server or tunnel needed) - Keeps all existing features: persistent filesystem snapshots, configurable resources (CPU/memory/disk), sudo support, interrupt handling, _AsyncWorker for event loop safety Consistent with the Docker backend precedent (PR #2804) where we removed mini-swe-agent in favor of direct docker run. Files changed: - tools/environments/modal.py - core rewrite - tools/terminal_tool.py - health check: modal instead of swerex - hermes_cli/setup.py - install modal instead of swe-rex[modal] - pyproject.toml - modal extra: modal>=1.0.0 instead of swe-rex[modal] - scripts/kill_modal.sh - grep for hermes-agent instead of swe-rex - tests/ - updated for new implementation - environments/README.md - updated patches section - website/docs - updated install command
Website
This website is built using Docusaurus, a modern static website generator.
Installation
yarn
Local Development
yarn start
This command starts a local development server and opens up a browser window. Most changes are reflected live without having to restart the server.
Build
yarn build
This command generates static content into the build directory and can be served using any static contents hosting service.
Deployment
Using SSH:
USE_SSH=true yarn deploy
Not using SSH:
GIT_USER=<Your GitHub username> yarn deploy
If you are using GitHub pages for hosting, this command is a convenient way to build the website and push to the gh-pages branch.
Diagram Linting
CI runs ascii-guard to lint docs for ASCII box diagrams. Use Mermaid (````mermaid`) or plain lists/tables instead of ASCII boxes to avoid CI failures.
