Wire hermit_getenv across the engine, rebrand WebUI/systemd/docs, and add apps/desktop (Tauri 2 + React) with a DeepSeek-Harness-like UI. Qt app/ is frozen; full libcstcore FFI is scaffolded behind --features engine. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
Hermit Desktop (Tauri 2)
Cross-platform shell for Hermit. Visual layout follows DeepSeek Harness
(session rail · chat · tool timeline · composer); the agent engine is the
in-process C core (libcstcore), not a Cordis/plugin runtime.
Stack
- Tauri 2 + Rust host
- React 19 + Vite + TypeScript UI
- FFI to
libcstcore(same embed path as the legacy Qt app)
Dependencies
| Platform | Needs |
|---|---|
| All | Rust (stable), Node 20+, pnpm or npm |
| Linux | webkit2gtk-4.1, libgtk-3, librsvg, patchelf, pkg-config, curl |
| Windows | WebView2 runtime |
| macOS | Xcode CLT |
Nix example:
nix-shell -p rustc cargo nodejs_22 pkg-config webkitgtk_4_1 gtk3 librsvg openssl curl
Develop
cd apps/desktop
npm install
npm run tauri dev
Without a full engine link yet, the UI runs against the mock bridge
(HERMIT_DESKTOP_MOCK=1 or automatic when FFI is unavailable).
Build
npm run tauri build

The legacy Qt front end under /app is frozen and will be archived once
desktop feature parity lands.
