⏳ Still working — this is taking longer than this run allows. Follow along at the link above; mention me again for an update.

✅ Done! Here's the update on the `~`/home-dir persistence cleanup for `openhands/software-agent-sdk`: Two open, non-draft PRs already cover this work: 1. #4476 —

fix: respect OH_PERSISTENCE_DIR for all ~/.openhands paths

(the actual fix). It centralizes every

Path.home() / ".openhands"

call site behind a single

get_user_persistence_dir()

helper, so profiles/settings/credentials/caches respect

OH_PERSISTENCE_DIR

, plus a 430-line cross-cutting test that exercises every call site. This is the substantive change — but it's currently blocked with

CHANGES_REQUESTED

: a maintainer (Vasco) objected to adding the new

<MEMORY>

system-prompt section, and that feedback hasn't been addressed yet. It's mergeable but stuck on review. 2. #4521 —

test(agent-server): isolate MCP OAuth settings persistence via OH_PERSISTENCE_DIR

(a small test-isolation fix). Points

OH_PERSISTENCE_DIR

at

tmp_path

in the three

test_mcp_oauth_store.py

tests so encrypted OAuth token state stops leaking into the host home dir. Awaiting review (

REVIEW_REQUIRED

). On the "why so slow" part: the work itself is done and sitting in PR form — the bottleneck isn't the code, it's that #4476 has been parked on a maintainer's changes-request since Aug 13 and nobody's resolved the system-prompt disagreement. So the actionable next step is to either (a) drop/adjust the new

<MEMORY>

prompt section and re-request review, or (b) reply to Vasco's thread to reach a decision. Want me to take a crack at resolving the review feedback and push an update to #4476?
