37524a574e docs: add PR review guides, rework quickstart, slim down installation
Adds two complementary GitHub PR review guides from contest submissions:
- Cron-based PR review agent (from PR #5836 by @dieutx) — polls on a
  schedule, no server needed, teaches skills + memory authoring
- Webhook-based PR review (from PR #6503 by @gaijinkush) — real-time via
  GitHub webhooks, documents previously undocumented webhook feature
Both guides are cross-linked so users can pick the approach that fits.

Reworks quickstart.md by integrating the best content from PR #5744
by @aidil2105:
- Opinionated decision table ('The fastest path')
- Common failure modes table with causes and fixes
- Recovery toolkit sequence
- Session lifecycle verification step
- Better first-chat guidance with example prompts

Slims down installation.md:
- Removes 10-step manual/dev install section (already covered in
  developer-guide/contributing.md)
- Links to Contributing guide for dev setup
- Keeps focused on the automated installer + prerequisites + troubleshooting

docs(execute_code): document project/strict execution modes (#12073)
Follow-up to PR #11971. Documents the new code_execution.mode config
key and what each mode actually does.

- user-guide/configuration.md: add mode: project to the yaml example,
  explain project vs strict and call out that security invariants are
  identical across modes.
- user-guide/features/code-execution.md: new 'Execution Mode' section
  with a comparison table and usage guidance; update the 'temporary
  directory' note so it reflects that script.py runs in the session
  CWD in project mode (staging dir stays on PYTHONPATH for imports);
  drop stale 'sandboxed' framing from the intro and skill-passthrough
  paragraph.
- getting-started/learning-path.md: update the one-line Code Execution
  summary to match (no longer 'sandboxed environments' — the default
  runs in the session's real working directory).

No code changes.

docs: correctness audit — fix wrong values, add missing coverage (#11972)
Comprehensive audit of every reference/messaging/feature doc page against the
live code registries (PROVIDER_REGISTRY, OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS, COMMAND_REGISTRY,
TOOLSETS, tool registry, on-disk skills). Every fix was verified against code
before writing.

### Wrong values fixed (users would paste-and-fail)

- reference/environment-variables.md:
  - DASHSCOPE_BASE_URL default was `coding-intl.dashscope.aliyuncs.com/v1` \u2192
    actual `dashscope-intl.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1`.
  - MINIMAX_BASE_URL and MINIMAX_CN_BASE_URL defaults were `/v1` \u2192 actual
    `/anthropic` (Hermes calls MiniMax via its Anthropic Messages endpoint).
- reference/toolsets-reference.md MCP example used the non-existent nested
  `mcp: servers:` key \u2192 real key is the flat `mcp_servers:`.
- reference/skills-catalog.md listed ~20 bundled skills that no longer exist
  on disk (all moved to `optional-skills/`). Regenerated the whole bundled
  section from `skills/**/SKILL.md` \u2014 79 skills, accurate paths and names.
- messaging/slack.md ":::info" callout claimed Slack has no
  `free_response_channels` equivalent; both the env var and the yaml key are
  in fact read.
- messaging/qqbot.md documented `QQ_MARKDOWN_SUPPORT` as an env var, but the
  adapter only reads `extra.markdown_support` from config.yaml. Removed the
  env var row and noted config-only nature.
- messaging/qqbot.md `hermes setup gateway` \u2192 `hermes gateway setup`.

### Missing coverage added

- Providers: AWS Bedrock and Qwen Portal (qwen-oauth) \u2014 both in
  PROVIDER_REGISTRY but undocumented everywhere. Added sections to
  integrations/providers.md, rows to quickstart.md and fallback-providers.md.
- integrations/providers.md "Fallback Model" provider list now includes
  gemini, google-gemini-cli, qwen-oauth, xai, nvidia, ollama-cloud, bedrock.
- reference/cli-commands.md `--provider` enum and HERMES_INFERENCE_PROVIDER
  enum in env-vars now include the same set.
- reference/slash-commands.md: added `/agents` (alias `/tasks`) and `/copy`.
  Removed duplicate rows for `/snapshot`, `/fast` (\u00d72), `/debug`.
- reference/tools-reference.md: fixed "47 built-in tools" \u2192 52. Added
  `feishu_doc` and `feishu_drive` toolset sections.
- reference/toolsets-reference.md: added `feishu_doc` / `feishu_drive` core
  rows + all missing `hermes-<platform>` toolsets in the platform table
  (bluebubbles, dingtalk, feishu, qqbot, wecom, wecom-callback, weixin,
  homeassistant, webhook, gateway). Fixed the `debugging` composite to
  describe the actual `includes=[...]` mechanism.
- reference/optional-skills-catalog.md: added `fitness-nutrition`.
- reference/environment-variables.md: added NOUS_BASE_URL,
  NOUS_INFERENCE_BASE_URL, NVIDIA_API_KEY/BASE_URL, OLLAMA_API_KEY/BASE_URL,
  XAI_API_KEY/BASE_URL, MISTRAL_API_KEY, AWS_REGION/AWS_PROFILE,
  BEDROCK_BASE_URL, HERMES_QWEN_BASE_URL, DISCORD_ALLOWED_CHANNELS,
  DISCORD_PROXY, TELEGRAM_REPLY_TO_MODE, MATRIX_DEVICE_ID, MATRIX_REACTIONS,
  QQBOT_HOME_CHANNEL_NAME, QQ_SANDBOX.
- messaging/discord.md: documented DISCORD_ALLOWED_CHANNELS, DISCORD_PROXY,
  HERMES_DISCORD_TEXT_BATCH_DELAY_SECONDS and HERMES_DISCORD_TEXT_BATCH_SPLIT
  _DELAY_SECONDS (all actively read by the adapter).
- messaging/matrix.md: documented MATRIX_REACTIONS (default true).
- messaging/telegram.md: removed the redundant second Webhook Mode section
  that invented a `telegram.webhook_mode: true` yaml key the adapter does
  not read.
- user-guide/features/hooks.md: added `on_session_finalize` and
  `on_session_reset` (both emitted via invoke_hook but undocumented).
- user-guide/features/api-server.md: documented GET /health/detailed, the
  `/api/jobs/*` CRUD surface, POST /v1/runs, and GET /v1/runs/{id}/events
  (10 routes that were live but undocumented).
- user-guide/features/fallback-providers.md: added `approval` and
  `title_generation` auxiliary-task rows; added gemini, bedrock, qwen-oauth
  to the supported-providers table.
- user-guide/features/tts.md: "seven providers" \u2192 "eight" (post-xAI add
  oversight in #11942).
- user-guide/configuration.md: TTS provider enum gains `xai` and `gemini`;
  yaml example block gains `mistral:`, `gemini:`, `xai:` subsections.
  Auxiliary-provider enum now enumerates all real registry entries.
- reference/faq.md: stale AIAgent/config examples bumped from
  `nous/hermes-3-llama-3.1-70b` and `claude-sonnet-4.6` to
  `claude-opus-4.7`.

### Docs-site integrity

- guides/build-a-hermes-plugin.md referenced two nonexistent hooks
  (`pre_api_request`, `post_api_request`). Replaced with the real
  `on_session_finalize` / `on_session_reset` entries.
- messaging/open-webui.md and features/api-server.md had pre-existing
  broken links to `/docs/user-guide/features/profiles` (actual path is
  `/docs/user-guide/profiles`). Fixed.
- reference/skills-catalog.md had one `<1%` literal that MDX parsed as a
  JSX tag. Escaped to `&lt;1%`.

### False positives filtered out (not changed, verified correct)

- `/set-home` is a registered alias of `/sethome` \u2014 docs were fine.
- `hermes setup gateway` is valid syntax (`hermes setup \<section\>`);
  changed in qqbot.md for cross-doc consistency, not as a bug fix.
- Telegram reactions "disabled by default" matches code (default `"false"`).
- Matrix encryption "opt-in" matches code (empty env default \u2192 disabled).
- `pre_api_request` / `post_api_request` hooks do NOT exist in current code;
  documented instead the real `on_session_finalize` / `on_session_reset`.
- SIGNAL_IGNORE_STORIES is already in env-vars.md (subagent missed it).

Validation:
- `docusaurus build` \u2014 passes (only pre-existing nix-setup anchor warning).
- `ascii-guard lint docs` \u2014 124 files, 0 errors.
- 22 files changed, +317 / \u2212158.

fix(update): survive mid-update terminal disconnect (#11960)
hermes update no longer dies when the controlling terminal closes
(SSH drop, shell close) during pip install.  SIGHUP is set to SIG_IGN
for the duration of the update, and stdout/stderr are wrapped so writes
to a closed pipe are absorbed instead of cascading into process exit.
All update output is mirrored to ~/.hermes/logs/update.log so users can
see what happened after reconnecting.

SIGINT (Ctrl-C) and SIGTERM (systemd) are intentionally still honored —
those are deliberate cancellations, not accidents.  In gateway mode the
helper is a no-op since the update is already detached.

POSIX preserves SIG_IGN across exec(), so pip and git subprocesses
inherit hangup protection automatically — no changes to subprocess
spawning needed.

7ffefc2d6c docs(tui): rename "Ink TUI" to just "TUI" throughout user-facing surfaces
"Ink" is the React reconciler — implementation detail, not branding.
Consistent naming: the classic CLI is the CLI, the new one is the TUI.

Updated docs: user-guide/tui.md, user-guide/cli.md cross-link, quickstart,
cli-commands reference, environment-variables reference.

Updated code: main.py --tui help text, server.py user-visible setup
error, AGENTS.md "TUI Architecture" section.

Kept "Ink" only where it is literally the library (hermes-ink internal
source comments, AGENTS.md tree note flagging ui-tui/ as a React/Ink dir).

2812bfe5b9 docs(tui): add Ink TUI user guide + cross-link from CLI docs
New primary guide at `user-guide/tui.md` covering launch, requirements,
keybindings, slash commands, status line, configuration, sessions, and
the revert path. Matches the voice of `user-guide/cli.md`.

Cross-links:
- `user-guide/cli.md`: tip callout pointing readers at the Ink TUI
- `getting-started/quickstart.md`: shows both `hermes` and `hermes --tui`
  under "Start Chatting" so first-run users know they have the choice
- `reference/environment-variables.md`: new "Interface" section with
  `HERMES_TUI` and `HERMES_TUI_DIR`
- `reference/cli-commands.md`: `--tui` and `--dev` added to global options

Sidebar: `user-guide/tui` slotted right after `user-guide/cli`.

feat(nix): container-aware CLI — auto-route into managed container (#7543)
* feat(nix): container-aware CLI — auto-route all subcommands into managed container

When container.enable = true, the host `hermes` CLI transparently execs
every subcommand into the managed Docker/Podman container. A symlink
bridge (~/.hermes -> /var/lib/hermes/.hermes) unifies state between host
and container so sessions, config, and memories are shared.

CLI changes:
- Global routing before subcommand dispatch (all commands forwarded)
- docker exec with -u exec_user, env passthrough (TERM, COLORTERM,
  LANG, LC_ALL), TTY-aware flags
- Retry with spinner on failure (TTY: 5s, non-TTY: 10s silent)
- Hard fail instead of silent fallback
- HERMES_DEV=1 env var bypasses routing for development
- No routing messages (invisible to user)

NixOS module changes:
- container.hostUsers option: lists users who get ~/.hermes symlink
  and automatic hermes group membership
- Activation script creates symlink bridge (with backup of existing
  ~/.hermes dirs), writes exec_user to .container-mode
- Cleanup on disable: removes symlinks + .container-mode + stops service
- Warning when hostUsers set without addToSystemPackages

* fix: address review — reuse sudo var, add chown -h on symlink update

- hermes_cli/main.py: reuse the existing `sudo` variable instead of
  redundant `shutil.which("sudo")` call that could return None
- nix/nixosModules.nix: add missing `chown -h` when updating an
  existing symlink target so ownership stays consistent with the
  fresh-create and backup-replace branches

* fix: address remaining review items from cursor bugbot

- hermes_cli/main.py: move container routing BEFORE parse_args() so
  --help, unrecognised flags, and all subcommands are forwarded
  transparently into the container instead of being intercepted by
  argparse on the host (high severity)

- nix/nixosModules.nix: resolve home dirs via
  config.users.users.${user}.home instead of hardcoding /home/${user},
  supporting users with custom home directories (medium severity)

- nix/nixosModules.nix: gate hostUsers group membership on
  container.enable so setting hostUsers without container mode doesn't
  silently add users to the hermes group (low severity)

* fix: simplify container routing — execvp, no retries, let it crash

- Replace subprocess.run retry loop with os.execvp (no idle parent process)
- Extract _probe_container helper for sudo detection with 15s timeout
- Narrow exception handling: FileNotFoundError only in get_container_exec_info,
  catch TimeoutExpired specifically, remove silent except Exception: pass
- Collapse needs_sudo + sudo into single sudo_path variable
- Simplify NixOS symlink creation from 4 branches to 2
- Gate NixOS sudoers hint with "On NixOS:" prefix
- Full test rewrite: 18 tests covering execvp, sudo probe, timeout, permissions

fix: prevent agent from stopping mid-task — compression floor, budget overhaul, activity tracking
Three root causes of the 'agent stops mid-task' gateway bug:

1. Compression threshold floor (64K tokens minimum)
   - The 50% threshold on a 100K-context model fired at 50K tokens,
     causing premature compression that made models lose track of
     multi-step plans.  Now threshold_tokens = max(50% * context, 64K).
   - Models with <64K context are rejected at startup with a clear error.

2. Budget warning removal — grace call instead
   - Removed the 70%/90% iteration budget warnings entirely.  These
     injected '[BUDGET WARNING: Provide your final response NOW]' into
     tool results, causing models to abandon complex tasks prematurely.
   - Now: no warnings during normal execution.  When the budget is
     actually exhausted (90/90), inject a user message asking the model
     to summarise, allow one grace API call, and only then fall back
     to _handle_max_iterations.

3. Activity touches during long terminal execution
   - _wait_for_process polls every 0.2s but never reported activity.
     The gateway's inactivity timeout (default 1800s) would fire during
     long-running commands that appeared 'idle.'
   - Now: thread-local activity callback fires every 10s during the
     poll loop, keeping the gateway's activity tracker alive.
   - Agent wires _touch_activity into the callback before each tool call.

Also: docs update noting 64K minimum context requirement.

Closes #7915 (root cause was agent-loop termination, not Weixin delivery limits).

feat: add Hugging Face as a first-class inference provider (#3419)
Salvage of PR #1747 (original PR #1171 by @davanstrien) onto current main.

Registers Hugging Face Inference Providers (router.huggingface.co/v1) as a named provider:
- hermes chat --provider huggingface (or --provider hf)
- 18 curated open models via hermes model picker
- HF_TOKEN in ~/.hermes/.env
- OpenAI-compatible endpoint with automatic failover (Groq, Together, SambaNova, etc.)

Files: auth.py, models.py, main.py, setup.py, config.py, model_metadata.py, .env.example, 5 docs pages, 17 new tests.

feat: nix flake — uv2nix build, NixOS module, persistent container mode (#20)
* feat: nix flake, uv2nix build, dev shell and home manager

* fixed nix run, updated docs for setup

* feat(nix): NixOS module with persistent container mode, managed guards, checks

- Replace homeModules.nix with nixosModules.nix (two deployment modes)
- Mode A (native): hardened systemd service with ProtectSystem=strict
- Mode B (container): persistent Ubuntu container with /nix/store bind-mount,
  identity-hash-based recreation, GC root protection, symlink-based updates
- Add HERMES_MANAGED guards blocking CLI config mutation (config set, setup,
  gateway install/uninstall) when running under NixOS module
- Add nix/checks.nix with build-time verification (binary, CLI, managed guard)
- Remove container.nix (no Nix-built OCI image; pulls ubuntu:24.04 at runtime)
- Simplify packages.nix (drop fetchFromGitHub submodules, PYTHONPATH wrappers)
- Rewrite docs/nixos-setup.md with full options reference, container
  architecture, secrets management, and troubleshooting guide

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Update config.py

* feat(nix): add CI workflow and enhanced build checks
- GitHub Actions workflow for nix flake check + build on linux/macOS
- Entry point sync check to catch pyproject.toml drift
- Expanded managed-guard check to cover config edit
- Wrap hermes-acp binary in Nix package
- Fix Path type mismatch in is_managed()

* Update MCP server package name; bundled skills support

* fix reading .env. instead have container user a common mounted .env file

* feat(nix): container entrypoint with privilege drop and sudo provisioning

Container was running as non-root via --user, which broke apt/pip installs
and caused crashes when $HOME didn't exist. Replace --user with a Nix-built
entrypoint script that provisions the hermes user, sudo (NOPASSWD), and
/home/hermes inside the container on first boot, then drops privileges via
setpriv. Writable layer persists so setup only runs once.

Also expands MCP server options to support HTTP transport and sampling.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix group and user creation in container mode

* feat(nix): persistent /home/hermes and MESSAGING_CWD in container mode

Container mode now bind-mounts ${stateDir}/home to /home/hermes so the
agent's home directory survives container recreation. Previously it lived
in the writable layer and was lost on image/volume/options changes.

Also passes MESSAGING_CWD to the container so the agent finds its
workspace and documents, matching native mode behavior.

Other changes:
- Extract containerDataDir/containerHomeDir bindings (no more magic strings)
- Fix entrypoint chown to run unconditionally (volume mounts always exist)
- Add schema field to container identity hash for auto-recreation
- Add idempotency test (Scenario G) to config-roundtrip check

* docs: add Nix & NixOS setup guide to docs site

Add comprehensive Nix documentation to the Docusaurus site at
website/docs/getting-started/nix-setup.md, covering nix run/profile
install, NixOS module (native + container modes), declarative settings,
secrets management, MCP servers, managed mode, container architecture,
dev shell, flake checks, and full options reference.

- Register nix-setup in sidebar after installation page
- Add Nix callout tip to installation.md linking to new guide
- Add canonical version pointer in docs/nixos-setup.md

* docs: remove docs/nixos-setup.md, consolidate into website docs

Backfill missing details (restart/restartSec in full example,
gateway.pid, 0750 permissions, docker inspect commands) into
the canonical website/docs/getting-started/nix-setup.md and
delete the old standalone file.

* fix(nix): add compression.protect_last_n and target_ratio to config-keys.json

New keys were added to DEFAULT_CONFIG on main, causing the
config-drift check to fail in CI.

* fix(nix): skip checks on aarch64-darwin (onnxruntime wheel missing)

The full Python venv includes onnxruntime (via faster-whisper/STT)
which lacks a compatible uv2nix wheel on aarch64-darwin. Gate all
checks behind stdenv.hostPlatform.isLinux. The package and devShell
still evaluate on macOS.

* fix(nix): skip flake check and build on macOS CI

onnxruntime (transitive dep via faster-whisper) lacks a compatible
uv2nix wheel on aarch64-darwin. Run full checks and build on Linux
only; macOS CI verifies the flake evaluates without building.

* fix(nix): preserve container writable layer across nixos-rebuild

The container identity hash included the entrypoint's Nix store path,
which changes on every nixpkgs update (due to runtimeShell/stdenv
input-addressing). This caused false-positive identity mismatches,
triggering container recreation and losing the persistent writable layer.

- Use stable symlink (current-entrypoint) like current-package already does
- Remove entrypoint from identity hash (only image/volumes/options matter)
- Add GC root for entrypoint so nix-collect-garbage doesn't break it
- Remove global HERMES_HOME env var from addToSystemPackages (conflicted
  with interactive CLI use, service already sets its own)

db496180db docs: remove hermes setup from install flow, point to hermes model/tools instead
The installer already handles full setup (provider config, etc.), so

1. Run the installer (handles everything including provider setup)
2. Use 'hermes model', 'hermes tools', 'hermes gateway setup' to
   reconfigure individual settings later

Files updated:
- README.md: removed setup from quick install & getting started
- installation.md: updated post-install, manual step 9, troubleshooting
- quickstart.md: updated provider section & quick reference table
- cli-commands.md: updated hermes setup description

363633e2ba fix: allow self-hosted Firecrawl without API key + add self-hosting docs
On top of PR #460: self-hosted Firecrawl instances don't require an API
key (USE_DB_AUTHENTICATION=false), so don't force users to set a dummy
FIRECRAWL_API_KEY when FIRECRAWL_API_URL is set. Also adds a proper
self-hosting section to the configuration docs explaining what you get,
what you lose, and how to set it up (Docker stack, tradeoffs vs cloud).

Added 2 more tests (URL-only without key, neither-set raises).
