Detect when write_file / patch calls fail during a turn and are never superseded by a successful write to the same path. When the final text response is delivered, append an advisory footer listing the files that did NOT change — so models that over-claim 'patched 5 files' after 4 silent failures can't hide the lie. Catches the failure mode reported in Ben Eng's llm-wiki session: grok-4.1-fast issued batches of parallel patches, half failed with 'Could not find old_string', and the agent summarised the turn claiming every file was edited. The user had to manually run 'git status' each turn to catch it. The verifier is a pure post-hoc check on tool results — no new LLM calls, no synthetic messages injected into history (prompt cache preserved), no changes to tool argument dispatch. Per-turn state is keyed by path; a later successful write to the same path clears the failure entry so single-file retry recovery is not flagged. Wired into both _execute_tool_calls_concurrent and _execute_tool_calls_sequential, so batched parallel patches and one-at- a-time edits are both covered. Footer emission happens after the agent loop exits, before transform_llm_output / post_llm_call plugin hooks run, so plugins still see (and can modify) the augmented text. Config: display.file_mutation_verifier (bool, default true) + HERMES_FILE_MUTATION_VERIFIER env override. 31 unit tests in tests/run_agent/test_file_mutation_verifier.py cover target extraction (write_file, patch-replace, patch-v4a single and multi-file), error-preview extraction (JSON .error field and plain string), per-turn state transitions (first-error-wins on repeated failure, success supersedes failure), footer rendering (truncation at 10 entries, user-actionable hint), and env/config precedence.

Website
This website is built using Docusaurus, a modern static website generator.
Installation
yarn
Local Development
yarn start
This command starts a local development server and opens up a browser window. Most changes are reflected live without having to restart the server.
Build
yarn build
This command generates static content into the build directory and can be served using any static contents hosting service.
Deployment
Using SSH:
USE_SSH=true yarn deploy
Not using SSH:
GIT_USER=<Your GitHub username> yarn deploy
If you are using GitHub pages for hosting, this command is a convenient way to build the website and push to the gh-pages branch.
Diagram Linting
CI runs ascii-guard to lint docs for ASCII box diagrams. Use Mermaid (````mermaid`) or plain lists/tables instead of ASCII boxes to avoid CI failures.
