docs: deep audit — fix stale config keys, missing commands, and registry drift (#22784)

Browse source 
* docs: deep audit — fix stale config keys, missing commands, and registry drift

Cross-checked ~80 high-impact docs pages (getting-started, reference, top-level
user-guide, user-guide/features) against the live registries:

  hermes_cli/commands.py    COMMAND_REGISTRY (slash commands)
  hermes_cli/auth.py        PROVIDER_REGISTRY (providers)
  hermes_cli/config.py      DEFAULT_CONFIG (config keys)
  toolsets.py               TOOLSETS (toolsets)
  tools/registry.py         get_all_tool_names() (tools)
  python -m hermes_cli.main <subcmd> --help (CLI args)

reference/
- cli-commands.md: drop duplicate hermes fallback row + duplicate section,
  add stepfun/lmstudio to --provider enum, expand auth/mcp/curator subcommand
  lists to match --help output (status/logout/spotify, login, archive/prune/
  list-archived).
- slash-commands.md: add missing /sessions and /reload-skills entries +
  correct the cross-platform Notes line.
- tools-reference.md: drop bogus '68 tools' headline, drop fictional
  'browser-cdp toolset' (these tools live in 'browser' and are runtime-gated),
  add missing 'kanban' and 'video' toolset sections, fix MCP example to use
  the real mcp_<server>_<tool> prefix.
- toolsets-reference.md: list browser_cdp/browser_dialog inside the 'browser'
  row, add missing 'kanban' and 'video' toolset rows, drop the stale
  '38 tools' count for hermes-cli.
- profile-commands.md: add missing install/update/info subcommands, document
  fish completion.
- environment-variables.md: dedupe GMI_API_KEY/GMI_BASE_URL rows (kept the
  one with the correct gmi-serving.com default).
- faq.md: Anthropic/Google/OpenAI examples — direct providers exist (not just
  via OpenRouter), refresh the OpenAI model list.

getting-started/
- installation.md: PortableGit (not MinGit) is what the Windows installer
  fetches; document the 32-bit MinGit fallback.
- installation.md / termux.md: installer prefers .[termux-all] then falls
  back to .[termux].
- nix-setup.md: Python 3.12 (not 3.11), Node.js 22 (not 20); fix invalid
  'nix flake update --flake' invocation.
- updating.md: 'hermes backup restore --state pre-update' doesn't exist —
  point at the snapshot/quick-snapshot flow; correct config key
  'updates.pre_update_backup' (was 'update.backup').

user-guide/
- configuration.md: api_max_retries default 3 (not 2); display.runtime_footer
  is the real key (not display.runtime_metadata_footer); checkpoints defaults
  enabled=false / max_snapshots=20 (not true / 50).
- configuring-models.md: 'hermes model list' / 'hermes model set ...' don't
  exist — hermes model is interactive only.
- tui.md: busy_indicator -> tui_status_indicator with values
  kaomoji|emoji|unicode|ascii (not kawaii|minimal|dots|wings|none).
- security.md: SSH backend keys (TERMINAL_SSH_HOST/USER/KEY) live in .env,
  not config.yaml.
- windows-wsl-quickstart.md: there is no 'hermes api' subcommand — the
  OpenAI-compatible API server runs inside hermes gateway.

user-guide/features/
- computer-use.md: approvals.mode (not security.approval_level); fix broken
  ./browser-use.md link to ./browser.md.
- fallback-providers.md: top-level fallback_providers (not
  model.fallback_providers); the picker is subcommand-based, not modal.
- api-server.md: API_SERVER_* are env vars — write to per-profile .env,
  not 'hermes config set' which targets YAML.
- web-search.md: drop web_crawl as a registered tool (it isn't); deep-crawl
  modes are exposed through web_extract.
- kanban.md: failure_limit default is 2, not '~5'.
- plugins.md: drop hard-coded '33 providers' count.
- honcho.md: fix unclosed quote in echo HONCHO_API_KEY snippet; document
  that 'hermes honcho' subcommand is gated on memory.provider=honcho;
  reconcile subcommand list with actual --help output.
- memory-providers.md: legacy 'hermes honcho setup' redirect documented.

Verified via 'npm run build' — site builds cleanly; broken-link count went
from 149 to 146 (no regressions, fixed a few in passing).

* docs: round 2 audit fixes + regenerate skill catalogs

Follow-up to the previous commit on this branch:

Round 2 manual fixes:
- quickstart.md: KIMI_CODING_API_KEY mentioned alongside KIMI_API_KEY;
  voice-mode and ACP install commands rewritten — bare 'pip install ...'
  doesn't work for curl-installed setups (no pip on PATH, not in repo
  dir); replaced with 'cd ~/.hermes/hermes-agent && uv pip install -e
  ".[voice]"'. ACP already ships in [all] so the curl install includes it.
- cli.md / configuration.md: 'auxiliary.compression.model' shown as
  'google/gemini-3-flash-preview' (the doc's own claimed default);
  actual default is empty (= use main model). Reworded as 'leave empty
  (default) or pin a cheap model'.
- built-in-plugins.md: added the bundled 'kanban/dashboard' plugin row
  that was missing from the table.

Regenerated skill catalogs:
- ran website/scripts/generate-skill-docs.py to refresh all 163 per-skill
  pages and both reference catalogs (skills-catalog.md,
  optional-skills-catalog.md). This adds the entries that were genuinely
  missing — productivity/teams-meeting-pipeline (bundled),
  optional/finance/* (entire category — 7 skills:
  3-statement-model, comps-analysis, dcf-model, excel-author, lbo-model,
  merger-model, pptx-author), creative/hyperframes,
  creative/kanban-video-orchestrator, devops/watchers,
  productivity/shop-app, research/searxng-search,
  apple/macos-computer-use — and rewrites every other per-skill page from
  the current SKILL.md. Most diffs are tiny (one line of refreshed
  metadata).

Validation:
- 'npm run build' succeeded.
- Broken-link count moved 146 -> 155 — the +9 are zh-Hans translation
  shells that lag every newly-added skill page (pre-existing pattern).
  No regressions on any en/ page.

## `hermes fallback`
```bash
hermes fallback # interactive manager
```
Manage the fallback provider chain (used when your primary provider hits a rate limit or returns a fatal error) without hand-editing `config.yaml`. Reuses the provider picker from `hermes model` — same provider list, same credential prompts, same validation.
Typical session:
1. Press `a` to add a fallback → pick a provider (OAuth-based providers open a browser; API-key providers prompt for the key), then pick the specific model.
2. Use `↑`/`↓` to reorder fallbacks (first-in-list is tried first).
3. Press `d` to remove one.
All changes persist to the top-level `fallback_providers:` list in `config.yaml`. Interacts with [Credential Pools](/docs/user-guide/features/credential-pools): pools rotate keys *within* a provider, fallbacks switch to a *different* provider entirely.
See [Fallback Providers](/docs/user-guide/features/fallback-providers) for behavior details and interaction with `fallback_model` (legacy single-fallback key).

After each turn an auxiliary judge model decides whether the goal is done; if not, Hermes auto-continues. Subcommands: `/goal status`, `/goal pause`, `/goal resume`, `/goal clear`. Budget defaults to 20 turns (`goals.max_turns`); any real user message preempts the continuation loop, and state survives `/resume`.

# Built-in Tools Reference
This page documents all 68 built-in tools in the Hermes tool registry, grouped by toolset. Availability varies by platform, credentials, and enabled toolsets.
This page documents Hermes' built-in tools, grouped by toolset. Availability varies by platform, credentials, and enabled toolsets.
**Quick counts:** 10 browser tools (core) + 2 browser-cdp tools, 4 file tools, 10 RL tools, 4 Home Assistant tools, 2 terminal tools, 2 web tools, 5 Feishu tools, 7 Spotify tools, 5 Yuanbao tools, 2 Discord tools, and 15 standalone tools across other toolsets.
**Quick counts (current registry):** ~70 tools — 10 browser tools (core) + 2 CDP-gated browser tools, 4 file tools, 10 RL tools, 4 Home Assistant tools, 2 terminal tools, 2 web tools, 5 Feishu tools, 7 Spotify tools (registered by the bundled `spotify` plugin), 5 Yuanbao tools, 7 kanban tools (registered when the kanban dispatcher spawns the agent), 2 Discord tools, and a handful of standalone tools (`memory`, `clarify`, `delegate_task`, `execute_code`, `cronjob`, `session_search`, `skill_view`/`skill_manage`/`skills_list`, `text_to_speech`, `image_generate`, `vision_analyze`, `video_analyze`, `mixture_of_agents`, `send_message`, `todo`, `computer_use`, `process`).
:::tip MCP Tools
In addition to built-in tools, Hermes can load tools dynamically from MCP servers. MCP tools appear with a server-name prefix (e.g., `github_create_issue` for the `github` MCP server). See [MCP Integration](/docs/user-guide/features/mcp) for configuration.
