A one-shot run (hermes chat --query-file ... -Q, stdin closed, no window)
still installs the prompt_toolkit approval callback but never starts the
prompt UI. The protected instruction-file gate (AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md /
SOUL.md ...) took the registered callback for a reachable human and waited
out approvals.timeout on a panel painted nowhere. With the profile value of
300000 s the stage job hung for good.
- Gate: in a one-shot run, or when only an automatic approver
(subagent_auto_approve) is attached, return BLOCKED / APPROVAL REQUIRED
immediately instead of prompting. Human consent is still required every
time; yolo and approvals.single_query_mode still do not open this gate.
- One-shot exit prints an "approval_required: {json}" line on stderr
(session_id, tool_call_id, request_id, targets, reason, applied=false)
so the launcher can tell "blocked, needs a human" from "still working".
- execute_code: an approval that arrives after the calling script stopped
waiting (300 s reply timeout, script run timeout, retired kernel cell)
is not applied.
- Same invisible wait removed from the computer_use and memory-write
prompts in a one-shot run. The one-shot marker is no longer inherited by
child processes.
- BLOCKED text no longer breaks on a target path containing braces.
Long-running tools are untouched: no general tool timeout was shortened.

onnxruntime (wake word) and ctranslate2 (local speech-to-text) link against
msvcp140.dll and msvcp140_1.dll, which the managed CPython does not ship.
On Windows without the system VC++ Redistributable both imports failed with
"DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found", so "Hey Hermes"
and voice chat transcription never worked.
- Bundle the Microsoft-signed VC143 CRT set (14.44.35211, matching the
managed CPython's vcruntime140) as a Windows extra resource with a SHA-256
manifest.
- Before every local backend start, copy missing or mismatching CRT files
beside the managed python.exe (the process image directory, searched first),
verifying digests; never overwrite the interpreter's own vcruntime and never
block boot. Existing installs heal on their next launch.
- Report an unloadable native voice wheel as a VC++ runtime problem in the
wake-word requirements, local transcription and `hermes doctor`, instead of
treating installed package metadata as proof the wheel loads.
- Bump AITURK IDE to 1.0.0-beta.12.
