SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Hermes upgrades can break runtime stability. This Skill detects upgrade issues, performs automatic repairs, and rolls back to the last stable version to keep Hermes online.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Post-upgrade health checks to confirm gateway and core services are running.
  • Automatic repair flow including dependency checks, config reload, and service restart.
  • Rollback to the previous stable Hermes agent when automatic repair fails.
  • Backup and restoration of configurations before upgrades to enable safe recovery.

Quick Start

Follow the automated upgrade-guard workflow to enable version guard and monitor post-upgrade health, triggering rollback if issues are detected.

Frequently Asked Questions about hermes-version-guard

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automatically rollback a Hermes upgrade when it breaks runtime stability?▼

To automatically rollback a Hermes upgrade, you can apply a version-guard workflow that detects post-upgrade issues and reverts to the last stable agent. This maintains system availability without manual intervention.

What does an automated recovery flow do when a Hermes upgrade fails?▼

An automated recovery flow performs dependency checks, config reloads, and gateway restarts to repair Hermes. If these repair steps fail, it triggers a rollback to the previous stable version.

How do I backup Hermes configurations before an upgrade for safe recovery?▼

You can backup Hermes configurations before upgrades by enabling backup management within the version-guard workflow. This ensures configurations are stored and ready for restoration if needed.

Can I run post-upgrade health checks on Hermes gateway and core services?▼

Yes, you can run post-upgrade health checks to confirm the Hermes gateway and core services are running. This verifies system stability immediately after an upgrade attempt.

What is the best way to test Hermes rollback scenarios and dependency checks?▼

The best way to test Hermes rollback scenarios is by applying an automated upgrade-guard workflow across upgrade processes. This tests health, repairs dependencies, and validates rollback protocols.

Why does Hermes stay offline after an upgrade and how do I fix it?▼

Hermes may stay offline after an upgrade due to broken dependencies or invalid configurations. You can fix this by running an automatic repair flow that reloads configs and restarts services, or triggers a rollback.
