Claude Code's /simplify was renamed away, community-restored, and rebuilt
since our 3-agent port (v2.1.63 -> v2.1.154+). This brings simplify-code
in line with the current upstream design, re-expressed in our own wording
and layered onto our existing risk-tier/confidence machinery:
- New Reviewer 4 (Altitude): flags band-aid fixes layered on shared
infrastructure — special cases, symptom patches with unfixed sibling
sites, workaround stacks — and points at the deeper mechanism fix.
Matches our AGENTS.md 'fix the class, not the site' rubric.
- Explicit cleanup-vs-bug-hunt boundary: this skill improves working
code; correctness review stays with requesting-code-review.
- Inline single-pass fallback when delegate_task is unavailable (leaf
subagents, delegation disabled) — previously the skill just broke;
now all four angles run sequentially with honest disclosure.
- Finding format gains a concrete-cost field.
- Efficiency reviewer adds closure-capture scope-retention leaks.
- Pitfalls: fan-out cap 3 -> 4, band-aid-vs-deliberate-boundary caveat,
no-bug-hunting drift guard.
Kept our value-adds upstream lacks: SAFE/CAREFUL/RISKY tiers,
Chesterton's Fence via git blame, dry-run/focus/scope modifiers.
The yuanbao skill is platform-specific guidance for Tencent Yuanbao
group chats — niche for the default bundled set. Per the
'when in doubt, optional' rule, ship it as an optional skill.
Install via: hermes skills install official/yuanbao/yuanbao
The nano-pdf description repeated the skill name ('via nano-pdf CLI'),
violating the skill authoring standard, and spent its char budget
restating the name instead of distinguishing the skill from the
structural pdf skill. New description: 'Edit text in existing PDFs via
natural-language prompts.' (56 chars) — no name repetition, and
'text in existing PDFs' contrasts cleanly with pdf's
'Create, merge, split, fill, and secure PDF files.'
Propagated to the auto-generated docs pages and zh-Hans locale
(catalog row + per-skill page) for locale parity.
Per the 'when in doubt, optional' rule — zero-shot image segmentation
via SAM is a niche computer-vision capability with heavy deps
(torch, transformers), not something most users load.
Install via: hermes skills install official/mlops/segment-anything
Both are heavy-dep, GPU-bound local music-generation skills (8-16GB VRAM,
torch stacks, manual source patches) that were bundled in two different
categories (media/ and mlops/models/). Per the 'when in doubt, optional'
rule they now sit side by side in optional-skills/creative/, and the
bundled songwriting-and-ai-music skill points at them for local generation.
- git mv skills/media/heartmula -> optional-skills/creative/heartmula
- git mv skills/mlops/models/audiocraft -> optional-skills/creative/audiocraft
- cross-link related_skills both ways + songwriting-and-ai-music
- new section 10 in songwriting-and-ai-music with install commands
- docs: bundled pages -> optional pages (en + zh-Hans), catalogs, sidebar
Install via:

The hermes-agent skill body was a 51KB monolith loaded in full on every
trigger. It is now a lightweight hub (~12KB): identity, quick start, the
tmux orchestration guide (kept in-body — the autonomous-ai-agents category
contract), surface orientation, and hard invariants, with a routing table
into 18 reference files that carry the depth.
Absorbed four Hermes-specific skills as first-class references so their
content gains a discoverable home and room to grow without bloating any
primary body:
- skills/hermes-themes -> references/themes.md + templates/skin.yaml
- skills/hermes-desktop-plugins -> references/desktop-plugins.md + templates/plugin.js
- skills/productivity/tui-widgets -> references/tui-widgets.md + templates/clock.mjs
- skills/productivity/petdex -> references/petdex.md
New references extracted from the old body: cli-reference, slash-commands,
providers-and-models, configuration, project-context-files,
security-privacy, background-systems, windows-quirks, troubleshooting,
contributor-guide (native-mcp and webhooks already existed). Also commits
delegate-task-concurrency-diagnosis and portal-auth-for-third-party-apps,
which the old body referenced but the repo never shipped.
Description updated to cover the widened scope:
'Use, configure, theme, extend, and orchestrate Hermes Agent.' (60 chars)
skills/dogfood/SKILL.md sat at the root of the bundled skills tree,
making it one of the few uncategorized skills (Discord /skill
autocomplete listed it under 'uncategorized'; hermes_cli/commands.py
cited it as the example). Move it to
skills/software-development/dogfood/ alongside the other QA/testing
skills (test-driven-development, systematic-debugging,
requesting-code-review).
- git mv skills/dogfood -> skills/software-development/dogfood
(history preserved)
- fix test fixture path in tests/tools/test_browser_console.py
- update root-level-skill docstring examples (commands.py,
generate-skill-docs.py) to cite computer-use, which is still root-level
- drop 'dogfood' from the category list in hermes-agent-skill-authoring
SKILL.md (en + zh-Hans docs mirrors)
- docs: regenerate/move the bundled page to
software-development-dogfood (en + zh-Hans), update sidebars.ts,
skills-catalog.md, and the adversarial-ux-test related-skills link
E2E validated: fresh sync_skills() copies to the new nested path;
existing installs with the old flat copy keep it untouched (manifest is
name-keyed, hash unchanged -> skipped, no duplicate);
_get_category_from_path resolves 'software-development'; docusaurus
build green.
Per the 'when in doubt, optional' rule — the live-kernel workflow needs
uv + JupyterLab + a running server + a cloned hamelnb repo, a niche
setup that shouldn't ship active by default.
Renamed jupyter-live-kernel -> jupyter-notebook (skill name, page slugs,
catalogs, sidebar, zh-Hans mirror, darwinian-evolver related_skills).
Install via: hermes skills install official/data-science/jupyter-notebook
Add --long-description / --long-description-file to `hermes slack
manifest` so the generated app manifest can carry Slack's
display_information.long_description (175–4,000 characters), with
validation of the length bounds, mutual-exclusion with --slashes-only,
and UTF-8 file input. Also propagate the manifest command's exit status
through cmd_slack so validation failures reach the shell.
Squash of the two commits from PR #65256 — one commit per contributor
on this salvage branch.
Salvaged from #65256
Salvaged from #45765 by @navahc09 — kept the PR's callout structure
and placement, rewrote the content to match current behavior:
Slack blocks native slash commands in threads and never delivers them,
so Hermes recognises a leading '!' as an alternate command prefix.
Post-C3 command fixes the bang form also works behind a mention
(@Hermes !cmd) and with leading whitespace; unknown '!' tokens pass
through to the agent unchanged. Cross-linked the detailed
slack.md section.
Removes Homebrew and PyPI wheel/sdist as Hermes distribution paths while
preserving the supported source, Docker, and Nix workflows.
Changes:
- Removes the Homebrew formula, PyPI publish workflow, sdist manifest
(MANIFEST.in), and wheel/sdist release-attachment logic from scripts/release.py.
- Keeps setuptools metadata and entry points required by editable installs
and Docker/Nix builds, but adds a setup.py guard that rejects wheel/sdist
builds outside a sealed Nix derivation (HERMES_NIX_BUILD=1).
- Removes pip/Homebrew install detection, PyPI update checks, the pip
self-update path, the deprecation-banner state, the postinstall subcommand,
wheel data-directory fallbacks in agent/i18n.py and hermes_constants.py,
and the ACP Registry manifest/version-lockstep release logic.
- Adds /nix/store/ path detection so `nix run` / `nix profile install`
installs (which don't set HERMES_MANAGED) are correctly identified as
"nix" rather than falling through to "git"/"unknown".
- Retired install-method values ("pip", "homebrew") in existing
.install_method stamps (both code-scoped and home-scoped) are ignored by
the allowlist reader and fall through to "unknown" instead of resurrecting
a retired enum value.
- Updates Nix packaging to ship bare runtime data (locales, optional-mcps)
through store symlinks and wrapper env vars instead of wheel data-files.
- Removes the ACP Registry manifest/icon and their version-lockstep tests.
- Deletes or rewrites packaging, pip-update, Homebrew, and ACP Registry
tests; adds parametrized coverage for the packaging build guard covering
BOTH sdist and wheel paths (the guards live in separate cmdclass entries
— a passing sdist test proves nothing about the wheel path).
- Updates installation/platform documentation and related user-facing copy.
- Adjusts the supply-chain scan so deleted install-hook files do not trigger
a finding, while additions or modifications still require the existing
ci-reviewed label gate.
Supported installation paths (unchanged):
- git installer (install.sh)
- Docker
- Nix/NixOS
- editable development installs (uv sync, uv pip install -e ., pip install -e .)
Keep the env-presence row, but add a real Bitwarden probe so revoked or malformed tokens no longer look healthy in hermes secrets bitwarden status.
Also document the new status behavior and lock it in with a dedicated regression test.
Refs: NousResearch/hermes-agent#40275
Tested: ./scripts/run_tests.sh tests/hermes_cli/test_bitwarden_status.py tests/test_bitwarden_secrets.py
Tested: .venv/bin/python -m ruff check hermes_cli/secrets_cli.py tests/hermes_cli/test_bitwarden_status.py
Add an opt-in battery indicator to the CLI and TUI status bars, shown as
the first element and colour-coded by charge (green/yellow/orange/red, or
green while charging). Off by default and a no-op on machines without a
battery.
- agent/battery.py: shared psutil-backed reader with a short TTL cache,
category bucketing, and a compact 🔋/⚡ label. Fails open to
"unavailable" everywhere.
- CLI: /battery [on|off|status] toggle persisted to display.battery,
rendered first in every status-bar width tier.
- TUI: /battery slash command, config sync, a system.battery RPC polled
while enabled, and a pinned first segment in StatusRule.
* feat(secrets): one-command token rotation + actionable startup errors for all secret sources
When a Bitwarden machine-account token expired, users saw a raw Rust
error dump (invalid_client + Location: + backtrace hints) and the only
fix was manually editing .env or re-running the whole setup wizard.
- New `hermes secrets bitwarden token` / `hermes secrets onepassword
token`: paste a new token (masked prompt or flag), the command probes
the backend BEFORE persisting — a rejected token changes nothing; a
good one is written to .env and the fetch caches are cleared.
- New optional SecretSource.remediation(kind, cfg) hook: startup
warnings now print a '→ Run `hermes secrets <name> token`…' fix-it
line after any fetch error, for bundled AND plugin sources (generic
per-ErrorKind defaults in the ABC).
- bws stderr is summarized to its cause line (Location:/backtrace noise
dropped) and invalid_client/invalid_grant/400 identity rejects are
now classified AUTH_FAILED (was INTERNAL) with a plain-English
explanation naming the token env var.
- op whoami probe accepts a candidate token so rotation validates the
NEW credential, not the ambient one.
Additive hook with defaults — no SECRET_SOURCE_API_VERSION bump.
* docs: fix MDX parse error in secret-source-plugin hook table
Escaped backticks around a <name> placeholder made MDX parse it as an
unclosed JSX tag, breaking the docs-site build. Use a plain code span
instead.
* fix(billing): rename user-facing "terminal billing" copy to Remote Spending
The capability was renamed Remote Spending on the portal (consent CTA:
"Allow Remote Spending"; per-terminal states Granted/Stopped), but the
terminal, desktop, and docs still said "terminal billing" everywhere.
- Feature name: Remote Spending in titles/labels, lowercase mid-sentence.
- Step-up action verb is now "allow", matching the portal consent CTA.
- Kill-switch-off recovery copy points at the actual control ("a billing
admin can turn it on from the portal's Hermes Agent page") instead of
the dead-end "manage it on the portal".
- Per-terminal revoke copy uses the portal vocabulary ("stopped").
- Wire identifiers (cli_billing_enabled, cli_billing_disabled, ...) are
unchanged; copy, comments, docs, and test expectations only.
* fix(billing): correct the post-step-up denial diagnosis + finish the desktop rename
Adversarial review findings: (1) a repeated insufficient_scope after a
successful step-up is a per-terminal authorization failure, but the copy
blamed the org kill-switch and pointed at the wrong recovery control —
now: "Remote Spending still isn't active for this terminal — the
authorization didn't take. Retry, or make this change on the portal."
(2) the desktop step-up flow started in Remote Spending vocabulary but
finished in "billing management access" — renamed both end states.
(3) prettier formatting on the touched files (matches the post-merge
fmt bot).
Replace REST-based Discord liveness probe with local WebSocket/heartbeat
state detection. REST success doesn't prove Gateway event delivery — a
half-closed WebSocket can leave Bot.start() alive while REST returns 200.
Now samples ready/open/ACK state and heartbeat latency; consecutive
unhealthy samples emit one retryable fatal code so GatewayRunner rebuilds
the adapter through the existing reconnect path.
Also fixes three lifecycle gaps in the recovery path:
1. asyncio.wait_for() can remain blocked if adapter cleanup swallows
cancellation — now uses bounded asyncio.wait() with task detachment.
2. Multiplexed secondary-profile adapters had no profile-scoped reconnect
owner — now uses one runner-owned reconnect slot per profile.
3. An in-flight turn could send its final text through the disconnected
adapter after a replacement was registered — now resolves the live
same-profile replacement for unsent final responses only (message IDs
never migrate, edits/deletes stay on the old transport).
Adds an opt-in Linux/systemd event-loop watchdog (gateway.systemd_watchdog_seconds,
default 0) for the failure mode where the whole asyncio loop stops making
progress and no in-process liveness task can run. stdlib-only sd_notify,
Type=notify/WatchdogSec generation, READY/STOPPING lifecycle.

Follow-up to PR #66479 salvage. The three new env vars
(HERMES_LOCAL_STREAM_STALE_TIMEOUT, HERMES_GATEWAY_MAX_STARTS,
HERMES_GATEWAY_START_WINDOW_S) were introduced as bare env-var reads with no
config.yaml surface or documentation — violating the .env-is-for-secrets-only
policy (behavioral settings must live in config.yaml, bridged to env internally).
- config.yaml: add gateway.respawn_storm {max_starts, window_seconds} to
DEFAULT_CONFIG, mirroring the existing restart_loop_guard pattern.
- gateway.py: read config.yaml first, env vars override as escape-hatch.
- environment-variables.md: document all three new env vars, noting the
config.yaml alternative for the gateway ones.
- chat_completion_helpers.py: cross-reference the env-var docs from the
local stale timeout comment.
Add a developer-guide page for running the Ink TUI and Electron desktop
app from a git worktree without a full npm install per checkout, via the
htui/hgui shell helpers that share node_modules from a canonical deps
checkout by symlink (falling back to a local npm ci when the lockfile
diverges). Registers it in the sidebar, cross-links from the TUI and git
-worktrees pages, and documents the previously-undocumented
HERMES_DESKTOP_PYTHON / HERMES_DESKTOP_DEV_SERVER env vars the desktop
backend reads.
Replaces moonshotai/kimi-k2.6 (recommended) and moonshotai/kimi-k2.7-code
with moonshotai/kimi-k3 in both curated lists, regenerates the published
model-catalog.json manifest, and updates the docs example manifest (en+zh).
kimi-k3 verified live on both endpoints (Nous Portal /v1/models and
OpenRouter /api/v1/models; 1M context, $3/$15 per Mtok). Family-prefix
matching already covers k3 in moonshot_schema, cache policy, and context
heuristics — no code changes needed there.
hermes update ran TWO separate pre-update backup mechanisms: the
config-gated full zip (updates.pre_update_backup, default off) and an
unconditional quick state snapshot added for #15733 that ignored the
user's setting entirely. On a large state.db (observed: 24 GB) the
'cheap' snapshot silently added ~60s to every update and ate 24 GB of
disk in state-snapshots/.
Now there is ONE mechanism, gated by updates.pre_update_backup with
three modes:
- quick (new default): state snapshot of critical small files (pairing
JSONs, cron jobs, config, auth, per-profile DBs). Files over 1 GiB
are skipped with a warning so a bloated state.db can never stall the
update again.
- full: the quick snapshot plus the HERMES_HOME zip (old 'true'
behavior; --backup forces it for one run).
- off: nothing runs — an explicit opt-out now disables the quick
snapshot too (--no-backup does the same per-run).
Legacy booleans are honored: true -> full, false -> off.
_run_pre_update_backup() now returns the quick-snapshot id so the
post-update cron-jobs restore safety net (#34600) keeps working; the
snapshot moved from the post-fetch site to the pre-mutation site,
which also covers the zip-fallback update path it previously missed.
Cross-checked website/docs against the source at main HEAD and corrected
documented commands, env vars, config keys, headers, and default values
that don't match the code. Docs-only; no behavioral changes.

The optional blender-mcp skill predates the blender MCP catalog entry
(#64463) and taught the agent to hand-roll raw TCP JSON to the addon's
socket on port 9876 from execute_code — bypassing the catalog's version
pinning and install-time tool curation.
Reworked to v2.0.0 as the companion skill for the catalog entry:
- prerequisites now go through 'hermes mcp install blender'
- interaction surface is the four curated MCP tools, not a raw socket
- keeps the valuable content: addon setup, bpy recipes (materials,
keyframes, render-to-file), pitfalls (timeouts, absolute paths,
object mode), plus new pitfalls (xvfb headless, no-sandbox warning,
remote-host path resolution)
- explicit anti-pattern note: do not hand-roll TCP to 9876
- description shortened to <=60 chars per skill authoring standards
alireza78a's original bpy patterns and pitfalls are preserved and
credited. Docs page regenerated via generate-skill-docs.py (scoped to
this skill only; unrelated generator drift left untouched).
The remote model catalog (website/static/api/model-catalog.json) now labels
exactly one entry per provider block with "default": true — z-ai/glm-5.2 for
both OpenRouter and Nous Portal. That labeled entry is the model Hermes
silently lands on when the user never picked one, and it can be rotated by
editing the manifest alone: no release needed.
- model_catalog.py: get_default_model_from_cache() reads the label from the
in-process/disk cache only — never triggers a network fetch, so hot
resolution paths (agent build, gateway session setup) stay network-free.
- models.py: get_preferred_silent_default_model() resolves catalog label
first, PREFERRED_SILENT_DEFAULT_MODEL constant second (offline/fresh
install). _PROVIDER_SILENT_DEFAULT_OVERRIDES dict replaced by
_SILENT_DEFAULT_PROVIDERS routing through the shared resolver.
fetch_openrouter_models() preserves the "default" badge through live
/v1/models refreshes so the picker shows it.
- scripts/build_model_catalog.py: generator emits the default label so
regeneration can't drop it.
- website/docs/reference/model-catalog.md: schema documents the new field.
- Salvaged from PR #61141 (@HumphreySun98): bare-provider /model switches
(/model nous) route through the cost-safe default instead of curated
entry [0].
- tests: catalog-label precedence, constant fallback, stale-label fallback,
cache-only (no network) guarantee, and a shipped-manifest contract test
pinning the labeled entry to PREFERRED_SILENT_DEFAULT_MODEL.
E2E (temp HERMES_HOME): fresh-install constant fallback, shipped-manifest
label read, release-free rotation (relabeled cache -> new default across
models.py, tui_gateway, and gateway empty-model paths) all verified.
Return actionable errors when HERMES_WRITE_SAFE_ROOT blocks a path instead of
labeling every denial as a protected credential file. Wire the helper through
write_file, patch, delete/move, and the Copilot ACP shim; sync docs examples.
Document that safe-root violations are hard-blocked (not approval-gated),
add a security guide section for write_file/patch guards, and link cron
and verifier docs so users trust the footer over agent summaries.
Follow-up to #60944 (webhook payload filters and route scripts):
- reference/cli-commands.md (en+zh): document the new --script option on
'hermes webhook subscribe'
- zh-Hans user-guide webhooks.md: mirror the Payload Filters and Script
Filters/Transforms sections plus the filters/script route properties
(the salvage shipped English-only docs)
- hermes-agent skill webhooks reference: teach the agent the filters/
script surface so agent-driven subscriptions can use them
Review findings on the salvaged #60332 breaker, fixed as follow-ups:
- restore_primary_runtime() now resets the streak (third provider-swap
path; without it a recovered primary was short-circuited before a
single attempt and could never be re-proven healthy except via /model).
- interruptible_api_call (non-streaming) now carries the same breaker
(guard at entry, bump on stale_call_kill, reset on success). Quiet-mode
/ subagent / headless sessions — the profile most like #58962's
unattended 494-failure session — take this path and had the identical
infinite stale-retry class.
- Partial-stream stub return now resets the streak (chunks were received,
provider demonstrably responsive).
- Consolidated the triple-duplicated counter arithmetic into shared
helpers (_stale_streak/_bump_stale_streak/_reset_stale_streak/
_check_stale_giveup) with one canonical comment block; error message
now says 'consecutive stale attempts' (the counter counts kills, not
turns — a single turn can produce several).
4 new tests (restore resets / no-op restore keeps latch / non-streaming
short-circuit / non-streaming success reset).
--safe-mode promised to disable ALL customizations, but shell hooks
declared in config.yaml's hooks: block registered anyway —
register_from_config() runs independently of plugin discovery and
load_config() does not honor HERMES_IGNORE_USER_CONFIG. Gate it on
HERMES_SAFE_MODE at the single chokepoint so troubleshooting runs fire
zero user-configured code (plugins, MCP, and hooks).
Docs (en + zh) updated; positive + negative tests added.
* docs(secrets): secret-source plugin developer guide + sidebar registration for 1Password page
- New developer-guide/secret-source-plugin.md: SecretSource contract
(never raises/prompts, fetch-only, timeout budget), framework-vs-plugin
ownership table, mapped-vs-bulk shape guidance, run_secret_cli()
subprocess-safety, registration + timing note, conformance kit usage,
ErrorKind reference.
- Register user-guide/secrets/onepassword in the sidebar (page shipped
in #59498 but was not listed, so it was unreachable from nav).
- Cross-link the user-guide plugin section to the new dev guide.
* docs: group all plugin guides under a Plugins subcategory in Extending
- Move guides/build-a-hermes-plugin.md -> developer-guide/plugins/index.md
(both locales) and make it the category landing page (slug pinned to
/developer-guide/plugins).
- New sidebar subcategory Developer Guide > Extending > Plugins holding
the general guide + all 8 provider-plugin docs (llm-access, memory,
context-engine, secret-source, model, image-gen, video-gen, web-search);
provider-doc URLs unchanged.
- Client redirect /guides/build-a-hermes-plugin -> /developer-guide/plugins.
- Update 30 cross-links across both locales.
* feat(sessions): full filter surface for prune + new bulk archive subcommand
hermes sessions prune previously only supported --older-than N (integer
days) and --source — no way to target a window like 'the last 5 hours'
(e.g. a batch of CI smoke-test sessions), and no non-destructive option.
- SessionDB.prune_sessions gains keyword filters that AND together:
started_before/started_after epoch bounds, title_like, end_reason,
cwd_prefix, min/max_messages, archived tri-state. Default call is
byte-for-byte compatible (90-day cutoff, ended-only, source).
- New SessionDB.list_prune_candidates (backs --dry-run + confirmation
previews) and SessionDB.archive_sessions (bulk soft-hide via the
existing set_session_archived lineage-aware path; nothing deleted).
- CLI: prune gains --newer-than/--before/--after (durations like 5h/2d/1w,
bare days, or ISO timestamps), --title, --end-reason, --cwd,
--min/--max-messages, --include-archived, --dry-run. New
'hermes sessions archive' takes the same filters, requires at least one,
and is idempotent. Both show a preview before confirming.
- Dashboard /api/sessions/prune accepts the same filters + dry_run.
- Docs: sessions.md + cli-commands.md updated.
Filter parsing lives in hermes_cli/session_filters.py with unit tests;
DB filters covered in tests/test_hermes_state.py.
* feat(sessions): prune/archive filters for model, provider, user, chat, branch, tokens, cost, tool calls
Extends the prune/archive filter surface to everything identifiable in
the sessions table:
- --model (substring on model slug), --provider (exact on
billing_provider, case-insensitive), --user, --chat-id, --chat-type
(exact), --branch (substring on git_branch), --min/--max-tokens
(input+output), --min/--max-cost (USD, actual_cost_usd falling back to
estimated_cost_usd), --min/--max-tool-calls.
- SessionDB prune/archive/list_prune_candidates now share the filter
kwargs via **filters into _prune_filter_where (unknown names raise
TypeError); candidates listing + CLI preview now include the model.
- Any attribute filter (except legacy --source) suppresses the implicit
90-day default so 'prune --model X' matches all ages.
- Dashboard /api/sessions/prune passes the new fields through.
- Docs + tests updated (7 new DB tests, 3 new parser tests).
/model switches, primary-model fallback, and credential-pool key
rotation all change the prompt-cache key (model and/or account), so
the next turn re-reads the entire conversation at full input price.
Add cost warnings everywhere docs recommend or describe these paths:
- reference/slash-commands.md: cost note on both /model rows
- user-guide/features/fallback-providers.md: warning admonition
- user-guide/features/credential-pools.md: warning admonition
- user-guide/configuring-models.md: mid-session switch warning
- guides/tips.md: expand cache tip + /model tip
- reference/faq.md: warning on the switch-back-and-forth example
- user-guide/desktop.md: composer picker bullet
- developer-guide/context-compression-and-caching.md: new
cache-aware design pattern (model identity is part of the key)
