Worked on the NousResearch/hermes-agent repository to enhance backend reliability and deployment workflows for macOS. Focused on refactoring browser session teardown logic to ensure consistent cleanup during manual, inactivity, and emergency shutdowns, while also addressing a bug in screenshot recovery by improving PNG path extraction from varied outputs. Introduced regression tests to safeguard against future issues in these areas. Addressed a race condition in the macOS self-update process by integrating a launchd_restart helper, ensuring smoother process transitions during updates. Utilized Python, shell scripting, and system services, emphasizing robust error handling and automated testing to reduce downtime and improve maintainability.
