feat(agent): per-turn file-mutation verifier footer (#24498)
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superseded by a successful write to the same path.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.

Companion docs updated: user-guide/configuration.md +
reference/environment-variables.md.

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.
