Harish Kukreja a5c9c83b78 fix(web): force light color-scheme on docs iframe
The Documentation tab embeds the public Hermes Agent docs site via an
<iframe>. On any system where the browser's prefers-color-scheme
resolves to dark — the default on macOS with system dark mode, and
common on Linux/Windows too — the docs body text rendered nearly
invisible against its own background.

Cause: Docusaurus intentionally leaves <html> and <body> transparent
and relies on the browser's Canvas color to fill the viewport. Inside
our iframe, the iframe element had bg-background (the dashboard's dark
canvas) AND inherited the dashboard's dark color-scheme, so the
browser set the iframe's Canvas to a dark value. Docusaurus's
transparent body exposed that dark Canvas, and the docs body text
(tuned for a light Canvas) became near-illegible. Affects every
built-in dashboard theme.

Fix: replace bg-background on the iframe with [color-scheme:light]
(spec-blessed cross-origin override of the inherited color-scheme;
forces the iframe's Canvas to light) and bg-white (belt-and-suspenders
fallback during the brief paint window before content loads). The
docs site's own theme toggle keeps working — Docusaurus stores its
choice in localStorage and applies opaque dark backgrounds to its
layout elements that cover the white Canvas we forced.

Hermes Agent — Web UI

Browser-based dashboard for managing Hermes Agent configuration, API keys, and monitoring active sessions.

Stack

  • Vite + React 19 + TypeScript
  • Tailwind CSS v4 with custom dark theme
  • shadcn/ui-style components (hand-rolled, no CLI dependency)

Development

# Start the backend API server
cd ../
python -m hermes_cli.main web --no-open

# In another terminal, start the Vite dev server (with HMR + API proxy)
cd web/
npm run dev

The Vite dev server proxies /api requests to http://127.0.0.1:9119 (the FastAPI backend).

Build

npm run build

This outputs to ../hermes_cli/web_dist/, which the FastAPI server serves as a static SPA. The built assets are included in the Python package via pyproject.toml package-data.
