Description

@BlueBirdBack

Running:

hermes dashboard --tui --no-open

on Android/Termux starts the dashboard, but the Chat tab is blank and unusable.

Error

[ERROR] Must use "outdir" when there are multiple input files

Failing command shown in terminal:

esbuild src/entry-exports.ts --bundle --platform=node --format=esm --packages=external --outfile=dist/ink-bundle.js

Actual behavior

  • Dashboard starts at http://127.0.0.1:9119
  • Browser UI loads
  • Chat tab is blank
  • Embedded TUI build fails in background

Expected behavior

  • Chat tab should work, or
  • Hermes should fail with a clear unsupported-platform message

Environment

  • Android
  • Termux
  • ARM64

Repro

  1. Run hermes dashboard --tui --no-open
  2. Open dashboard in browser
  3. Go to Chat
  4. Observe blank UI + esbuild error
