Apply a Home Assistant update surfaced by ha-update-check, when the operator accepts a [ha-update] proposal. Enforces the tier rule -- add-ons/HACS may auto-apply, Core/OS/Supervisor always wait for an explicit operator go-ahead.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Apply HA Update ## When this runs Invoked from `proposal-act`'s Accept flow for a `[ha-update]` proposal (originated by `/hermitd-homeassistant:ha-update-check`). The proposal body carries the entity_id, tier (`core`/`os`/`supervisor`/`addon`/`hacs`), and target version. ## Steps 1. **Read the flag**: check `ha_update_auto_apply` in `.hermit/config.json`. - **Absent or `false`**: this is advisory-only. Resolve the proposal — tell the operator the update is available and where (`Settings → System → Updates` in the HA UI), and stop. Do not call `update.install`. - **`true`**: show the entity and target version, then continue. 2. **Branch on tier** (from the proposal body). The `addon` vs `hacs` split is defined by the native backup capability: `ha-update-check` tiers an entity `addon` precisely when it advertises HA's BACKUP update feature, so `backup:true` is always valid for an `addon` proposal, and a `hacs` entity is one that can't back itself up (hence the separate full-backup step). …

How to install
mdr add gtapps/hermitd/ha-apply-update@sha256:6069c6ac1909435bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261017.16f0d8e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
