Choosing Hermes as the default agent built it through mise: a pipx environment with no checkout, so `hermes update` had nothing to move, and the only Hermes that could update itself was the one Hermes Desktop set up. Both paths now run the same setup. omarchy-install-hermes-cli installs the hermes-desktop package and runs upstream's installer from it, pinned to the packaged release and started on main, exactly as Install > AI did; omarchy-install-ai-hermes is that plus opening the app. The terminal, the default agent and the app share one runtime, and it updates itself.
--check answers whether --now has anything left to do, not merely whether a hermes runs: choosing Hermes from the menu asks first and opens a terminal only on a no, so a yes has to mean no minutes-long step would run where nobody can see it. With the app installed that means the runtime's own command, its completion marker and the seeded packaged app; a finished runtime whose command is gone, somebody else's, or its own but unable to run gets it back from upstream's path stage without bootstrapping again. Either way the command has to be the one PATH finds, because omarchy-agent runs bare `hermes` and Omarchy puts mise's shims ahead of ~/.local/bin; a command in the way is named rather than installed over. The modes are named outright because the app's launcher used to call this command with no arguments to reconcile a mise copy; a default of --now would turn every launch into an install. --check still refuses to run the retired wrapper, since running it built Hermes through mise, and a machine whose migration is pending can still have it on PATH.
Provisioning no longer writes the wrapper, Remove Preinstalls no longer looks for it, and the wrapper, the environment it built and what proves them Omarchy's are known to the installer alone: --retire-mise is the migration's whole job, and --now runs the same removal once the runtime installer has saved the wrapper aside, so a user who chose Hermes before their migration ran is not left with mise's shim answering `hermes`. Only the wrapper proves the environment is Omarchy's, at its path or in that saved copy, so the environment goes first and the wrapper last, judged by mise neither having it installed nor still requesting it; a removal that leaves either behind, or a listing that cannot be read, mise missing included, stops with the commands to finish by hand and leaves the migration pending. The migration that once installed the wrapper is kept as a no-op for late updaters, and one whose default agent was Hermes is told to choose it again.

Three files spelled out the line that marks ~/.local/bin/hermes as Omarchy's:
the installer that writes it, Remove Preinstalls, and the migration. Two of
them were copies, and a change to what ownership means would have left them
matching a line nobody writes any more -- Remove Preinstalls quietly sweeping
nothing, the migration mistaking Omarchy's own wrapper for a stranger's.
omarchy-install-hermes-cli --owns answers it now, and the other two ask. The
installer's own metadata was also a flag behind: --check has been there since
this landed and was never listed.
A test pins the marker to one file, so a second copy fails rather than drifts.

* Restore preinstalls from the menu, and drop the Omacom apps with them
Remove Preinstalls missed omacut, omacalc, and omawrite, so the three Omacom
apps survived an opt-out that was supposed to clear the desk.
Opting out was also one-way. Install > Preinstalls now puts everything back:
the shipped .desktop launchers and mise stubs via omarchy-refresh-applications,
the dropped packages via pacman, and the opt-out marker deleted so the
preinstalled keybindings return on reload. The two menu entries guard on the
marker, so exactly one of them is ever visible.

* Trim the preinstall lists to what quattro actually ships
Remove Preinstalls was still dropping typora, spotify, 1password, 1password-cli,
signal-desktop, opencode, claude-code, and github-cli. None of those are in
omarchy-base.packages anymore: typora gave way to omawrite, the services moved
to on-demand menu installs, and the agent CLIs are mise-managed. Removing them
took out apps the user had deliberately installed, and restoring them would have
put back what we no longer ship.
Both lists are now the same twelve packages, all of them in omarchy-base.packages.

* Keep the opt-out marker when a restore fails
omarchy-pkg-add exits non-zero when pacman cannot install a package, but the
restore ran straight past it, cleared the marker, and reloaded Hyprland. That
reported success and brought back keybindings for apps that never arrived. The
marker now falls last, behind a check on the transaction.
The new test also pins the two lists to each other and to omarchy-base.packages,
which is the drift that let retired packages linger in the removal list.
