Objective
Add
tools/modules/services/service_os.nu, a Nushell module that provides the standardinstall | start | stop | statuslifecycle for thehero_osservice (two binaries:hero_os_server+hero_os_ui, built fromlhumina_code/hero_os) and is supervised byhero_proc, with an optional--rootflag defaulting to the invoking user.Requirements
use services/mod.nu *oruse services/service_os.nu *.installclones/updateslhumina_code/hero_osand builds the three binaries (hero_os,hero_os_server,hero_os_ui) in release mode, copying them into~/hero/bin/(or/root/hero/bin/with--root).startregisters two actions (hero_os_server,hero_os_ui) + thehero_osservice withhero_procand starts it; reports both socket paths and a human-readable UI URL in the final summary.statusreports state of thehero_osservice fromhero_proc.stopstops and unregisters both actions + the service cleanly; tolerant of a missing registration.--rootflag on every command (user-level default). With--root, target/root/hero/...through passwordless sudo.service_browser.nu/service_proxy.nu, reuses shared helpers fromlib.nu, and follows thenu_serviceskill template.service_os install --root→service_os start --reset --root→service_os status --root→service_os stop --root.Files to Modify/Create
tools/modules/services/service_os.nu— new module, two-action (server + ui) pattern, closely modelled onservice_browser.nu. This is the sole new file.tools/modules/services/mod.nu— addexport use service_os.nuto the existing list (it currently re-exports seven sibling modules at lines 1-7).Implementation Plan
Step 1: Create
tools/modules/services/service_os.nuskeleton (header + constants + imports)Files:
tools/modules/services/service_os.nuservice_browser.nu(lines 1-29): top comment explaining thathero_osis a two-binary Hero service (hero_os_server+hero_os_ui) supervised byhero_proc, usage, the--rootbehaviour, and that shared helpers come from./lib.nu.service_browser.nulines 28-29):service_browser.nulines 35-38): Rationale: the Makefileinstalltarget (Makefile lines 127-137) andCargo.tomlworkspace members (lines 2-9) confirm these three binary names. Only_serverand_uiare runtime actions; the barehero_osis the CLI (used bymake startfor self-registration) and is not registered as a hero_proc action.Dependencies: none
Step 2: Implement
svx_server_actionbuilderFiles:

Step 3: Implement
svx_ui_actionbuilderFiles:
tools/modules/services/service_os.nuservice_browser.nusvx_ui_action(lines 85-124) withhero_os_uisubstituted.env:{RUST_LOG: "info"}— matcheshero_zero/services/hero_os.tomllines 58-59.retry_policy: three-attempt block identical to browser UI template (lines 95-102); consistent withmain.rslines 196-201.kill_other.socket:[$"($sock_base)/hero_os/ui.sock"]— matches README "Sockets" table andmain.rslines 204-209.openrpc_socket: $"($sock_base)/hero_os/ui.sock". Note: the Rust CLI useshttp_url: http+unix://<sock>/health(main.rslines 210-224). Preferopenrpc_socket(matches the existing two-action nu modules, which use the same UDS health check shape for the UI). Rationale: all existingservice_*.numodules that check UI health use theopenrpc_socketfield againstui.sock; keep consistent and rely on hero_proc's readiness probing of the Unix socket.Dependencies: Step 1
Step 4: Implement
svx_service_configandsvx_drop_registrationFiles:
tools/modules/services/service_os.nusvx_service_config []— mirrorservice_browser.nulines 126-138:context_name: "core"service.name:$SVX_SERVICE_NAMEservice.actions:$SVX_ACTIONSservice.class:"system"service.critical:false(Hero OS is an app-layer UI; not a critical system service)service.description:"Hero OS — desktop state server and WASM UI shell"(from README line 1-6 andmain.rsline 227)service.status:"start"svx_drop_registration [root: bool]— copy verbatim fromservice_browser.nulines 141-147: best-effort stop + delete of the service and both actions, each wrapped intry { ... } catch { }.Dependencies: Step 1
Step 5: Implement
installcommandFiles:
tools/modules/services/service_os.nuservice_browser.nulines 156-163 verbatim (rename docstring examples toservice_os install):svc_cargo_install(fromlib.nulines 175-230) already runscargo build --release --manifest-path <repo>/Cargo.tomland copiestarget/release/<bin>for every name in the list. That build command covers the same three crates that thehero_osMakefileinstalltarget builds (-p hero_os -p hero_os_server -p hero_os_ui) becausecargo build --releaseon the workspace builds all members. Do not callmake installfrom the nu module — the lib helper's direct cargo invocation is the canonical path and it handlesCARGO_TARGET_DIR+ sudo-copy correctly.~/hero/share/hero_os/public(seecrates/hero_os_ui/src/main.rslines 34-36) and will hard-fail at start if they are missing. Document this in the module header and in the summary output (see Step 7). Assets remain a user responsibility viamake build-wasm && make install-assets-releasein the hero_os repo; callingmakefrom nu would require shelling into the repo directory and is out of scope for this module.Dependencies: Step 4
Step 6: Implement
startcommandFiles:
tools/modules/services/service_os.nuservice_browser.nustart(lines 180-243) and thenu_servicetemplate:if $root { svc_require_sudo }.svc_require_proc "service_os" $root— fails with the standard "start hero_proc first" message.--resetnor--updateis passed andproc service is_running hero_os --root=$rootreturns true.install --root=$root --update=$updateto ensure binaries are in place (cargo is incremental; matches browser template).hero_os_serverbinary exists (handle the sudo-test case), error out on absence.~/hero/share/hero_os/public/index.htmlexists (match the hard failure condition incrates/hero_os/src/main.rslines 86-102). If missing, warn (do not hard-fail) and print the remediation:cd ~/hero/code/hero_os && make build-wasm && make install-assets-release. Rationale: the UI will not boot without assets, and nu shouldn't silently register a service that is guaranteed to crash. Preferred over a hard error because the user may have the assets installed under a non-default path viaHERO_OS_ASSETS.svx_drop_registration $rootto guarantee a clean slate.proc action set (svx_server_action $root) --root=$root | ignore.proc action set (svx_ui_action $root) --root=$root | ignore.proc service set (svx_service_config) --root=$root | ignore.proc service start $SVX_SERVICE_NAME --root=$root | ignore.sleep 1sec.nu_service_useskill — the agent reads this output to drive tests). Surface both sockets AND a human-readable UI URL: Whyhttp+unix://: hero_os exposes no TCP port (README "Sockets" section is explicit). External browser access is brokered byhero_router. Printing the unix URL plus the router tip gives the agent or operator the exact command surface they need to test.Dependencies: Steps 2, 3, 4, 5
Step 7: Implement
stopandstatusFiles:
tools/modules/services/service_os.nustop— copyservice_browser.nulines 256-271 verbatim (rename messages tohero_os):if $root { svc_require_sudo }; ifsvc_proc_healthy $rootis false, print the "nothing to stop" warning with theservice_proc startremediation and return; otherwisesvx_drop_registration $root.status— copyservice_browser.nulines 280-285 verbatim (rename caller to"service_os"):svc_require_proc "service_os" $root;proc service status $SVX_SERVICE_NAME --root=$root.Dependencies: Step 4
Step 8: Wire into
mod.nuFiles:
tools/modules/services/mod.nuexport use service_os.nuto the existing file (insert after line 7, so the list stays alphabetically adjacent to other services). The file currently contains sevenexport uselines (service_proc,service_router,service_proxy,service_browser,service_mycelium,service_codescalers,service_embedder). Adding the eighth line is the single change.Dependencies: Steps 1-7
Step 9: Syntax check + Hetzner smoke test

Only the last two register as hero_proc actions;hero_osis the self-start CLI (analogous toservice_codescalers's top-level binary) and is included inSVX_BINARIESsoinstallcopies it alongside, but excluded fromSVX_ACTIONS.crates/hero_os/src/main.rslines 164-224). No TCP port to bind, no mycelium address detection, no port-availability check. Do NOT copy the port/mycelium logic fromservice_codescalers.nu.hero_router. The finalstartsummary printshttp+unix://<ui.sock>/and mentions hero_router as the real entry point — this matches whatnu_service_useexpects (a UI URL an agent can actually hit).~/hero/share/hero_os/public/(or$HERO_OS_ASSETS) before it will boot (crates/hero_os_ui/src/main.rslines 150-172 +crates/hero_os/src/main.rslines 84-102). The nu module should warn and suggest remediation rather than hard-fail on a missing assets directory, because the install step cannot reasonably rundx build(Dioxus CLI). Document this in the module header comments so operators know to runmake build-wasm && make install-assets-releaseonce after checkout.hero_zero/services/hero_os.tomlline 4):depends_on = ["hero_osis_identity"]. Hero_proc currently honoursdepends_onat orchestration time. The nu module does not need to replicate this — thestatus: "start"in the service config is enough; hero_proc resolves dependencies per its own service graph. Leave this out of the nu-side service config.kill_others = truein the TOML[ui]block (hero_zero/services/hero_os.tomlline 56): the nukill_other.socketentries cover the equivalent stale-socket cleanup. No extra flag needed.env.RUST_LOG = "info"is the only env var forwarded by the hero_zero TOML or the Rust CLI. NoHERO_OS_*env forwarding block needed (unlikeservice_proxy.nulines 51-57 for ACME vars). If the operator exportsHERO_OS_ASSETS/HERO_OS_ISLANDS/HERO_OS_DISTthey will not be forwarded; add them to a follow-up PR only if requested.--rootbranching is handled entirely by the shared helpers (svc_bin,svc_sock_base,svc_need_sudo,svc_cargo_install,svc_require_sudo). Every action builder and lifecycle command takesroot: booland passes it through; no additional root-specific branching needed in this module.http+unix://<sock>/health). The nu template usesopenrpc_socketagainstui.sockto stay consistent with every otherservice_*.numodule; if hero_proc's UDS health probe cannot speak plain HTTP to the UI socket, swap tohttp_url: http+unix://<sock>/healthin a follow-up — do NOT block this PR on that detail.start --reset --rootreturns withstate : running,curl --unix-socket <ui.sock> http://localhost/healthreturns 200,curl --unix-socket <rpc.sock>returns a valid OpenRPC error for an unknown method (proves the socket is live).

Comprehensive test report
Ran the full matrix on the Hetzner box (root-level hero_proc + hero_os). 18 assertions total, all
service_os.nubehaviour passed. Two "failures" were caused by pre-existing server-side issues unrelated to this PR — root causes and follow-up actions are at the end.Phase 1 — error paths with hero_proc DOWN

This is exactly the behaviour the PR's pre-flight warning is meant to pair with.Phase 4 — teardown

A. WASM build (3b/3c/3d/3f UI/3g) —
/usr/bin/dxon the Hetzner box is a different binary (probably Dash X or similar), not the Dioxus CLI. It shadows the actual Dioxus CLI installed at~/.cargo/bin/dx, somake build-wasmcalls the wrongdx:This is a hero_os build-pipeline / server PATH issue, not something
service_os.nucan or should fix. The module's job is to warn when the bundle is missing (which it does) and fail gracefully in its absence (which it does — see 3e/3i).B. Pre-test cleanup — stumbled on a pre-existing bug in
service_proc.nu:270:This breaks
service_proc stopwhen invoked by root against root's own hero_proc (the branch that uses plainrminstead of^sudo rm). Easy one-line fix (rm→^rm), but it's inservice_proc.nu, notservice_os.nu, so it belongs in its own PR. The test worked around it by patching the server copy temporarily; the patch has been reverted.Filing this as a follow-up issue.
