**Started**: 2026-06-02 02:13 **Completed**: 2026-06-02 02:13 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Confirmed current session with `.spec_system/scripts/analyze-project.sh --json`: `phase17-session01-visual-system-shell-status-pill`.
* Confirmed environment prerequisites pass with `.spec_system/scripts/check-prereqs.sh --json --env`.

* Confirmed the banner asset exists at `src/assets/hermes-art/00-banner-wide.png`.
* Confirmed V23 source anchors exist at `/home/aiwithapex/projects/claudeos/claude-os-v2.3/src/routes/agents.hermes.tsx` and `/home/aiwithapex/projects/claudeos/claude-os-v2.3/src/components/hermes-status-pill.tsx`.

**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/specs/phase17-session01-visual-system-shell-status-pill/implementation-notes.md` - recorded prerequisite verification.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Not applicable: setup inventory only.

***

### Task T002 - Record current Hermes shell, status-card, and top-bar pill inventory

**Started**: 2026-06-02 02:13 **Completed**: 2026-06-02 02:14 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Current shell lives in `src/components/hermes/hermes-read-only-page.tsx` and already uses the modular Hermes tabs IA from Phase 16.
* Current route skin lives under `.hermes-agent-route` selectors in `src/styles.css`, scoped away from other agent pages.
* Current page primitives live in `src/components/hermes/hermes-page-primitives.tsx` with `SectionPanel`, `StateBlock`, `MetricTile`, `ReadOnlyLabel`, `StateBadge`, and shared accent constants.
* Current status row lives in `src/components/hermes/hermes-status-bar.tsx` and summarizes install, config, model, and provider only.
* Current top-bar pill lives at `src/components/hermes-status-pill.tsx` and already has schema validation, abortable fetch, offline gating, retry disabled, and missing/error render-null behavior.
* Current root top bar imports `HermesStatusPill` from `@/components/hermes-status-pill` and mounts it before `OpenClawStatusPill`.

**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/specs/phase17-session01-visual-system-shell-status-pill/implementation-notes.md` - recorded pre-edit implementation inventory.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Not applicable: inventory only.

***

### Task T003 - Confirm status pill ownership and stale artifact status

**Started**: 2026-06-02 02:14 **Completed**: 2026-06-02 02:15 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Target implementation owner is `src/components/hermes/hermes-status-pill.tsx`.
* Existing `src/components/hermes-status-pill.tsx` is not stale behavior; it contains the implementation that should move under Hermes component ownership.
* The top-level path should remain as a compatibility re-export to avoid breaking existing imports.
* Root top-bar import can move to `@/components/hermes/hermes-status-pill` while compatibility remains available for older imports and tests.
* New status pill tests belong under `src/components/hermes/__tests__/`.

**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/specs/phase17-session01-visual-system-shell-status-pill/implementation-notes.md` - recorded target ownership and migration status.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Not applicable: ownership inventory only.

***

### Task T004 - Extend Hermes visual tokens and shell primitives

**Started**: 2026-06-02 02:15 **Completed**: 2026-06-02 02:20 **Duration**: 5 minutes

**Notes**:

* Added shared Hermes visual token exports for accent, cream, ready, warning, and error colors.
* Added typography class exports for display, mono, and copy hooks.
* Added `HermesBarGlyph`, `HermesStatusChip`, `toneForState`, and `boundedDisplayValue` helpers.
* Added `StatusCardShell` for the upgraded status-card row with bounded text and fixed icon geometry.
* Shifted shared panels, state blocks, and metric tiles toward the session's 0px border treatment.

**Files Changed**:

* `src/components/hermes/hermes-page-primitives.tsx` - extended tokens, typography hooks, state chips, glyphs, and status-card shell primitives.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Contract alignment: state-to-tone mapping is exhaustive for `HermesSectionState`.
* Accessibility/platform compliance: chip and glyph helpers keep decorative glyphs hidden from assistive tech while visible labels remain text.

***

### Task T005 - Add scoped cinematic Hermes route CSS

**Started**: 2026-06-02 02:20 **Completed**: 2026-06-02 02:27 **Duration**: 7 minutes

**Notes**:

* Expanded `.hermes-agent-route` with v2.3-inspired cream, amber, emerald, cyan, panel, and border variables.
* Added display and mono typography hooks, 0px border treatment, amber halo, banner crop, support banner, status-card, and bar glyph CSS.
* Added responsive banner constraints for small screens.
* Added scoped reduced-motion overrides for Hermes route animation and transition effects.

**Files Changed**:

* `src/styles.css` - upgraded the scoped Hermes route skin.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Accessibility/platform compliance: reduced-motion preference disables scoped Hermes motion.
* State freshness on re-entry: route skin stays scoped to `.hermes-agent-route`, preventing token leakage into other app routes.

***

### Task T006 - Create colocated Hermes status pill

**Started**: 2026-06-02 02:27 **Completed**: 2026-06-02 02:32 **Duration**: 5 minutes

**Notes**:

* Added the real status pill implementation under `src/components/hermes/hermes-status-pill.tsx`.
* Reused the shared `parseHermesStatusResponse` parser for schema validation.
* Kept abortable fetch, retry disabled, bounded 30 second polling, and browser-offline query gating.
* Kept render-null behavior for missing Hermes, offline browser state, endpoint errors, and malformed payloads.
* Added a constrained top-bar width so long state labels cannot expand the root toolbar.

**Files Changed**:

* `src/components/hermes/hermes-status-pill.tsx` - added colocated global status pill implementation.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Trust boundary enforcement: endpoint payload is parsed with the shared Hermes schema parser.
* External dependency resilience: polling is bounded, abortable, retry disabled, and hidden on failure.
* Error information boundaries: endpoint errors are not rendered in the global top bar.
* Accessibility/platform compliance: the link has explicit route-purpose aria labels for ready and setup states.

***

### Task T007 - Replace legacy top-level status pill with compatibility export

**Started**: 2026-06-02 02:32 **Completed**: 2026-06-02 02:34 **Duration**: 2 minutes

**Notes**:

* Replaced the previous top-level implementation with re-exports from the colocated Hermes component.
* Preserved named and default exports for compatibility with existing imports.

**Files Changed**:

* `src/components/hermes-status-pill.tsx` - converted to a thin compatibility export.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Contract alignment: existing import path and export names remain stable while ownership moves under `src/components/hermes/`.

***

### Task T008 - Define upgraded status-card shell and chip treatment

**Started**: 2026-06-02 02:34 **Completed**: 2026-06-02 02:45 **Duration**: 11 minutes

**Notes**:

* Reworked `HermesStatusBar` around Version, Model, Memory, and Activity cards.
* Added bounded card summaries for ready, setup, missing, idle, loading, empty, error, offline, token-failure, and demo states.
* Added per-card chips and a full-width responsive card row.
* Preserved the setup-required and endpoint-error support text alongside the upgraded visual treatment.

**Files Changed**:

* `src/components/hermes/hermes-status-bar.tsx` - added four-card status row and state-safe card summaries.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Contract alignment: status-card state labels are exhaustive for `HermesSectionState`.
* Failure path completeness: card summaries render explicit loading, idle, empty, error, offline, and token-failure text.
* Error information boundaries: global card details use existing sanitized hook errors only and do not expose new bridge paths.

***

### Task T009 - Rework Hermes read-only page into cinematic shell

**Started**: 2026-06-02 02:45 **Completed**: 2026-06-02 02:55 **Duration**: 10 minutes

**Notes**:

* Added the existing `00-banner-wide.png` asset as the page-level cinematic banner.
* Reworked the hero into a banner plus content shell with the Hermes logo mark, display heading, and bounded mode/token/sensitive tiles.
* Preserved the existing top-level tabs and section composition.
* Kept the implementation in the existing modular AI OS route instead of importing the V23 monolith.

**Files Changed**:

* `src/components/hermes/hermes-read-only-page.tsx` - added banner shell and updated hero composition.
* `src/components/hermes/hermes-page-primitives.tsx` - tightened icon button spacing and square-corner treatment used by the shell controls.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Accessibility/platform compliance: banner is rendered as an image with descriptive alt text.
* Contract alignment: existing tab values and section component contracts are unchanged.

***

### Task T010 - Add demo banner, demo CTA, and loading support states

**Started**: 2026-06-02 02:55 **Completed**: 2026-06-02 02:57 **Duration**: 2 minutes

**Notes**:

* Added a demo-mode support banner with a return-to-live action.
* Added a setup/demo CTA that appears when live Hermes data is unavailable and demo mode is allowed.
* Added a loading support strip while the local bridge is being detected.
* Added icon-bearing controls through the shared `TextButton` primitive.

**Files Changed**:

* `src/components/hermes/hermes-read-only-page.tsx` - added demo, CTA, and loading support components.
* `src/components/hermes/hermes-page-primitives.tsx` - added stable icon spacing for `TextButton`.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Accessibility/platform compliance: demo state banner uses `role="status"` and controls are native buttons with visible text.
* State freshness on re-entry: return-to-live and open-demo actions explicitly switch the page data mode.

***

### Task T011 - Wire status, model, memory, and session data into status cards

**Started**: 2026-06-02 02:57 **Completed**: 2026-06-02 02:59 **Duration**: 2 minutes

**Notes**:

* Passed memory and session query views from `HermesReadOnlyPage` into `HermesStatusBar`.
* Rendered Version from Hermes status, Model from model/default status data, Memory from memory file existence and char counts, and Activity from session totals/latest activity.
* Kept loading, idle, empty, error, offline, token-failure, success, and demo fallback text explicit per card.

**Files Changed**:

* `src/components/hermes/hermes-read-only-page.tsx` - wired memory and sessions into the status bar.
* `src/components/hermes/hermes-status-bar.tsx` - added view-backed card summaries.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Failure path completeness: each card has a caller-visible fallback for non-success query states.
* Contract alignment: card summaries consume existing `HermesQueryView` and Hermes response body contracts without new endpoint assumptions.

***

### Task T012 - Preserve setup-required and endpoint-error copy with v2.3 treatment

**Started**: 2026-06-02 02:59 **Completed**: 2026-06-02 03:00 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Kept the existing setup-required, configuration-needed, loading, offline, and endpoint-error support copy.
* Applied the new Hermes support-banner and status-card visual treatment around those states.
* Avoided adding private bridge home paths to the upgraded card row.

**Files Changed**:

* `src/components/hermes/hermes-status-bar.tsx` - preserved state copy while applying the upgraded treatment.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Error information boundaries: setup and error states remain sanitized and do not expose new local paths.
* Failure path completeness: endpoint-error, offline, and loading support blocks remain visible.

***

### Task T013 - Mount colocated Hermes status pill in app top bar

**Started**: 2026-06-02 03:00 **Completed**: 2026-06-02 03:01 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Updated the root route top bar import to use `@/components/hermes/hermes-status-pill`.
* Kept the pill mount point before `OpenClawStatusPill`.
* The compatibility export remains available at `@/components/hermes-status-pill`.

**Files Changed**:

* `src/routes/__root.tsx` - imported the colocated Hermes status pill.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Contract alignment: route target and link behavior are unchanged while component ownership moves.
* Accessibility/platform compliance: existing top-bar focus behavior remains on the link.

***

### Task T014 - Adjust tabs, footer, spacing, and section wrappers

**Started**: 2026-06-02 03:01 **Completed**: 2026-06-02 03:02 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Kept the existing tab IA while tightening tab-list border treatment and content spacing.
* Removed rounded-card treatment from the Hermes footer and shared route primitives.
* Preserved section component boundaries without adding new nested route-level cards.

**Files Changed**:

* `src/components/hermes/hermes-read-only-page.tsx` - adjusted tabs, content spacing, and footer treatment.
* `src/components/hermes/hermes-page-primitives.tsx` - kept shared panels and buttons aligned with the square Hermes shell.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Accessibility/platform compliance: tab labels and icon/text triggers remain unchanged and keyboard-compatible through the existing tabs primitive.

***

### Task T015 - Constrain Hermes asset imports and document media observations

**Started**: 2026-06-02 03:02 **Completed**: 2026-06-02 03:03 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Added no new media assets and no new dependencies.
* The page imports the already-present `src/assets/hermes-art/00-banner-wide.png` banner required by the spec.
* The top-bar status pill uses the existing `src/assets/hermes-agent.webp` logo asset.
* Observation: `00-banner-wide.png` is approximately 2.3 MB, above the current media-policy guideline of 200 KB per committed asset. This session did not create or replace it because the spec explicitly required using the already-copied banner asset.

**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/specs/phase17-session01-visual-system-shell-status-pill/implementation-notes.md` - documented media and bundle-policy observations.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Not applicable: asset boundary documentation only.

***

### Task T016 - Extend Hermes section tests

**Started**: 2026-06-02 03:03 **Completed**: 2026-06-02 03:05 **Duration**: 2 minutes

**Notes**:

* Added read-only page shell coverage for the cinematic banner, heading, demo CTA, and demo banner.
* Extended status bar coverage for Version, Model, Memory, and Activity card labels and values.
* Updated existing status bar test renders with memory and session query view props.
* Verified with `bun run test -- src/components/hermes/__tests__/hermes-sections.test.tsx src/components/hermes/__tests__/hermes-status-pill.test.tsx`: 2 files passed, 46 tests passed.

**Files Changed**:

* `src/components/hermes/__tests__/hermes-sections.test.tsx` - extended Hermes section and shell coverage.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Contract alignment: tests now cover the new `HermesStatusBar` prop contract.
* Accessibility/platform compliance: tests query banner alt text, heading role, and native button controls.

***

### Task T017 - Write Hermes status pill tests

**Started**: 2026-06-02 03:03 **Completed**: 2026-06-02 03:06 **Duration**: 3 minutes

**Notes**:

* Added colocated status pill tests for ready, setup-required, missing, offline, endpoint-error, and malformed payload behavior.
* Mocked TanStack Router `Link` and wrapped the component with a local React Query client.
* Verified with the same focused command as T016: 2 files passed, 46 tests passed.

**Files Changed**:

* `src/components/hermes/__tests__/hermes-status-pill.test.tsx` - added status pill behavior coverage.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Trust boundary enforcement: malformed payload tests verify parser-backed render-null behavior.
* External dependency resilience: endpoint failure and offline tests verify quiet global failure paths.
* Accessibility/platform compliance: ready/setup tests query the pill by accessible link name.

***

### Task T018 - Verify root route/top-bar coverage

**Started**: 2026-06-02 03:06 **Completed**: 2026-06-02 03:08 **Duration**: 2 minutes

**Notes**:

* Reviewed existing root/top-bar tests and found coverage already exists for ready, setup-required, missing, loading, and endpoint-error Hermes pill states.
* Ran `bun run test -- src/routes/__tests__/root-component.test.tsx`: 1 file passed, 26 tests passed.
* No test edit was needed because the behavioral mount point remained covered after the import moved to the colocated component.

**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/specs/phase17-session01-visual-system-shell-status-pill/implementation-notes.md` - recorded root/top-bar coverage verification.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Contract alignment: existing root tests verify the top-bar route link still targets `/agents/hermes`.

***

### Task T019 - Run focused tests, typecheck, and ASCII/LF validation

**Started**: 2026-06-02 03:08 **Completed**: 2026-06-02 03:12 **Duration**: 4 minutes

**Notes**:

* Ran `bunx prettier --write` on the touched source and test files.
* Ran `bun run test -- src/components/hermes/__tests__/hermes-sections.test.tsx src/components/hermes/__tests__/hermes-status-pill.test.tsx src/routes/__tests__/root-component.test.tsx`: 3 files passed, 72 tests passed.
* Ran `bun run typecheck`: passed.
* Ran ASCII/LF validation across the touched session/source/test files: passed.
* Replaced one non-ASCII dash in `src/styles.css` while validating the touched file set.

**Files Changed**:

* `src/styles.css` - replaced one non-ASCII dash found by validation.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase17-session01-visual-system-shell-status-pill/implementation-notes.md` - recorded command results.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Contract alignment: focused tests and typecheck pass against the updated component contracts.
* Accessibility/platform compliance: focused tests cover alt text, headings, buttons, and status pill accessible link names.

***
