fix(nix): build web dashboard frontend in Nix package#12194
Merged
Conversation
The web dashboard (Vite/React frontend) is now built as a separate Nix derivation and baked into the Hermes package. The build output is installed to a standard location and exposed via the `HERMES_WEB_DIST` environment variable, allowing the dashboard command to use pre-built assets when available (e.g., in packaged releases) instead of rebuilding on every invocation.
