Terminal tool crashes when running any sudo command (e.g., sudo apt update, sudo -n true).

Error Message

TypeError: PtyProcess.wait() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given

Root Cause

Terminal tool crashes when running any sudo command (e.g., sudo apt update, sudo -n true).

Code Example

RAW_BUFFERClick to expand / collapse

Description

Terminal tool crashes when running any sudo command (e.g., sudo apt update, sudo -n true).

Error

TypeError: PtyProcess.wait() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Run any sudo command through the terminal tool: sudo apt update
  2. Error occurs immediately

Environment

  • hermes-agent v0.13.0 (2026.5.7)
  • Ubuntu 24.04 (VM)
  • Passwordless sudo configured and working

Additional Context

  • Non-sudo commands work fine (echo, ls, python3)
  • Same commands work via execute_code (subprocess.run)
  • Bug appears to be in terminal_tool.py's sudo handling path
  • Worked before updating to v0.13.0
