Members center on the Desktop app's HERMES_DESKTOP_HERMES override producing a 'command' backend without a root, which ticketRuntimeFor reportedly rejects, affecting gateway-API requests. One PR addresses carrying the launcher-reported root; another gateway PR is broader, covering Desktop/TUI access, start, restart and authentication.
