-# OpenAI-Compatible API Server for Hermes Agent
-
-## Motivation
-
-Every major chat frontend (Open WebUI 126k★, LobeChat 73k★, LibreChat 34k★,
-AnythingLLM 56k★, NextChat 87k★, ChatBox 39k★, Jan 26k★, HF Chat-UI 8k★,
-big-AGI 7k★) connects to backends via the OpenAI-compatible REST API with
-SSE streaming. By exposing this endpoint, hermes-agent becomes instantly
-usable as a backend for all of them — no custom adapters needed.
-
-## What It Enables
-
-```
-┌──────────────────┐

-```
-
-A user would:
-1. Set `API_SERVER_ENABLED=true` in `~/.hermes/.env`
-2. Run `hermes gateway` (API server starts alongside Telegram/Discord/etc.)
-3. Point Open WebUI (or any frontend) at `http://localhost:8642/v1`
-4. Chat with hermes-agent through any OpenAI-compatible UI
-
-## Endpoints
-
-| Method | Path | Purpose |
-|--------|------|---------|
-| POST | `/v1/chat/completions` | Chat with the agent (streaming + non-streaming) |
-| GET | `/v1/models` | List available "models" (returns hermes-agent as a model) |
-| GET | `/health` | Health check |
-
-## Architecture
-
-### Option A: Gateway Platform Adapter (recommended)
-
-Create `gateway/platforms/api_server.py` as a new platform adapter that
-extends `BasePlatformAdapter`. This is the cleanest approach because:
-
-- Reuses all gateway infrastructure (session management, auth, context building)
-- Runs in the same async loop as other adapters
-- Gets message handling, interrupt support, and session persistence for free
-- Follows the established pattern (like Telegram, Discord, etc.)
-- Uses `aiohttp.web` (already a dependency) for the HTTP server
-
-The adapter would start an `aiohttp.web.Application` server in `connect()`
-and route incoming HTTP requests through the standard `handle_message()` pipeline.
-
-### Option B: Standalone Component
-
-A separate HTTP server class in `gateway/api_server.py` that creates its own
-AIAgent instances directly. Simpler but duplicates session/auth logic.
-
-**Recommendation: Option A** — fits the existing architecture, less code to
-maintain, gets all gateway features for free.
-
-## Request/Response Format
-
-### Chat Completions (non-streaming)
-
-```
-POST /v1/chat/completions
-Authorization: Bearer hermes-api-key-here
-Content-Type: application/json
-
-{
-  "model": "hermes-agent",
-  "messages": [
-    {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
-    {"role": "user", "content": "What files are in the current directory?"}
-  ],
-  "stream": false,
-  "temperature": 0.7
-}
-```
-
-Response:
-```json
-{
-  "id": "chatcmpl-abc123",
-  "object": "chat.completion",
-  "created": 1710000000,
-  "model": "hermes-agent",
-  "choices": [{
-    "index": 0,
-    "message": {
-      "role": "assistant",
-      "content": "Here are the files in the current directory:\n..."
-    },
-    "finish_reason": "stop"
-  }],
-  "usage": {
-    "prompt_tokens": 50,
-    "completion_tokens": 200,
-    "total_tokens": 250
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### Chat Completions (streaming)
-
-Same request with `"stream": true`. Response is SSE:
-
-```
-data: {"id":"chatcmpl-abc123","object":"chat.completion.chunk","choices":[{"index":0,"delta":{"role":"assistant"},"finish_reason":null}]}
-
-data: {"id":"chatcmpl-abc123","object":"chat.completion.chunk","choices":[{"index":0,"delta":{"content":"Here "},"finish_reason":null}]}
-
-data: {"id":"chatcmpl-abc123","object":"chat.completion.chunk","choices":[{"index":0,"delta":{"content":"are "},"finish_reason":null}]}
-
-data: {"id":"chatcmpl-abc123","object":"chat.completion.chunk","choices":[{"index":0,"delta":{},"finish_reason":"stop"}]}
-
-data: [DONE]
-```
-
-### Models List
-
-```
-GET /v1/models
-Authorization: Bearer hermes-api-key-here
-```
-
-Response:
-```json
-{
-  "object": "list",
-  "data": [{
-    "id": "hermes-agent",
-    "object": "model",
-    "created": 1710000000,
-    "owned_by": "hermes-agent"
-  }]
-}
-```
-
-## Key Design Decisions
-
-### 1. Session Management
-
-The OpenAI API is stateless — each request includes the full conversation.
-But hermes-agent sessions have persistent state (memory, skills, tool context).
-
-**Approach: Hybrid**
-- Default: Stateless. Each request is independent. The `messages` array IS
-  the conversation. No session persistence between requests.
-- Opt-in persistent sessions via `X-Session-ID` header. When provided, the
-  server maintains session state across requests (conversation history,
-  memory context, tool state). This enables richer agent behavior.
-- The session ID also enables interrupt support — a subsequent request with
-  the same session ID while one is running triggers an interrupt.
-
-### 2. Streaming
-
-The agent's `run_conversation()` is synchronous and returns the full response.
-For real SSE streaming, we need to emit chunks as they're generated.
-
-**Phase 1 (MVP):** Run agent in a thread, return the complete response as
-a single SSE chunk + `[DONE]`. This works with all frontends — they just see
-a fast single-chunk response. Not true streaming but functional.
-
-**Phase 2:** Add a response callback to AIAgent that emits text chunks as the
-LLM generates them. The API server captures these via a queue and streams them
-as SSE events. This gives real token-by-token streaming.
-
-**Phase 3:** Stream tool execution progress too — emit tool call/result events
-as the agent works, giving frontends visibility into what the agent is doing.
-
-### 3. Tool Transparency
-
-Two modes:
-- **Opaque (default):** Frontends see only the final response. Tool calls
-  happen server-side and are invisible. Best for general-purpose UIs.
-- **Transparent (opt-in via header):** Tool calls are emitted as OpenAI-format
-  tool_call/tool_result messages in the stream. Useful for agent-aware frontends.
-
-### 4. Authentication
-
-- Bearer token via `Authorization: Bearer <key>` header
-- Token configured via `API_SERVER_KEY` env var
-- Optional: allow unauthenticated local-only access (127.0.0.1 bind)
-- Follows the same pattern as other platform adapters
-
-### 5. Model Mapping
-
-Frontends send `"model": "hermes-agent"` (or whatever). The actual LLM model
-used is configured server-side in config.yaml. The API server maps any
-requested model name to the configured hermes-agent model.
-
-Optionally, allow model passthrough: if the frontend sends
-`"model": "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4"`, the agent uses that model. Controlled
-by a config flag.
-
-## Configuration
-
-```yaml
-# In config.yaml
-api_server:
-  enabled: true
-  port: 8642
-  host: "127.0.0.1"        # localhost only by default
-  key: "your-secret-key"   # or via API_SERVER_KEY env var
-  allow_model_override: false  # let clients choose the model
-  max_concurrent: 5         # max simultaneous requests
-```
-
-Environment variables:
-```bash
-API_SERVER_ENABLED=true
-API_SERVER_PORT=8642
-API_SERVER_HOST=127.0.0.1
-API_SERVER_KEY=your-secret-key
-```
-
-## Implementation Plan
-
-### Phase 1: MVP (non-streaming) — PR
-
-1. `gateway/platforms/api_server.py` — new adapter
-   - aiohttp.web server with endpoints:
-     - `POST /v1/chat/completions` — Chat Completions API (universal compat)
-     - `POST /v1/responses` — Responses API (server-side state, tool preservation)
-     - `GET /v1/models` — list available models
-     - `GET /health` — health check
-   - Bearer token auth middleware
-   - Non-streaming responses (run agent, return full result)
-   - Chat Completions: stateless, messages array is the conversation
-   - Responses API: server-side conversation storage via previous_response_id
-     - Store full internal conversation (including tool calls) keyed by response ID
-     - On subsequent requests, reconstruct full context from stored chain
-   - Frontend system prompt layered on top of hermes-agent's core prompt
-
-2. `gateway/config.py` — add `Platform.API_SERVER` enum + config
-
-3. `gateway/run.py` — register adapter in `_create_adapter()`
-
-4. Tests in `tests/gateway/test_api_server.py`
-
-### Phase 2: SSE Streaming
-
-1. Add response streaming to both endpoints
-   - Chat Completions: `choices[0].delta.content` SSE format
-   - Responses API: semantic events (response.output_text.delta, etc.)
-   - Run agent in thread, collect output via callback queue
-   - Handle client disconnect (cancel agent)
-
-2. Add `stream_callback` parameter to `AIAgent.run_conversation()`
-
-### Phase 3: Enhanced Features
-
-1. Tool call transparency mode (opt-in)
-2. Model passthrough/override
-3. Concurrent request limiting
-4. Usage tracking / rate limiting
-5. CORS headers for browser-based frontends
-6. GET /v1/responses/{id} — retrieve stored response
-7. DELETE /v1/responses/{id} — delete stored response
-
-## Files Changed
-
-| File | Change |
-|------|--------|
-| `gateway/platforms/api_server.py` | NEW — main adapter (~300 lines) |
-| `gateway/config.py` | Add Platform.API_SERVER + config (~20 lines) |
-| `gateway/run.py` | Register adapter in _create_adapter() (~10 lines) |
-| `tests/gateway/test_api_server.py` | NEW — tests (~200 lines) |
-| `cli-config.yaml.example` | Add api_server section |
-| `README.md` | Mention API server in platform list |
-
-## Compatibility Matrix
-
-Once implemented, hermes-agent works as a drop-in backend for:
-
-| Frontend | Stars | How to Connect |
-|----------|-------|---------------|
-| Open WebUI | 126k | Settings → Connections → Add OpenAI API, URL: `http://localhost:8642/v1` |
-| NextChat | 87k | BASE_URL env var |
-| LobeChat | 73k | Custom provider endpoint |
-| AnythingLLM | 56k | LLM Provider → Generic OpenAI |

-# Streaming LLM Response Support for Hermes Agent
-
-## Overview
-
-Add token-by-token streaming of LLM responses across all platforms. When enabled,
-users see the response typing out live instead of waiting for the full generation.
-Streaming is opt-in via config, defaults to off, and all existing non-streaming
-code paths remain intact as the default.
-
-## Design Principles
-
-1. **Feature-flagged**: `streaming.enabled: true` in config.yaml. Off by default.
-   When off, all existing code paths are unchanged — zero risk to current behavior.
-2. **Callback-based**: A simple `stream_callback(text_delta: str)` function injected
-   into AIAgent. The agent doesn't know or care what the consumer does with tokens.
-3. **Graceful degradation**: If the provider doesn't support streaming, or streaming
-   fails for any reason, silently fall back to the non-streaming path.
-4. **Platform-agnostic core**: The streaming mechanism in AIAgent works the same
-   regardless of whether the consumer is CLI, Telegram, Discord, or the API server.

-
-The agent runs in a thread. The callback puts tokens into a thread-safe queue.
-Each consumer reads the queue in its own context (async task, main thread, etc.).
-
----
-
-## Configuration
-
-### config.yaml
-
-```yaml
-streaming:
-  enabled: false          # Master switch. Default off.
-  # Per-platform overrides (optional):
-  # cli: true             # Override for CLI only
-  # telegram: true        # Override for Telegram only
-  # discord: false        # Keep Discord non-streaming
-  # api_server: true      # Override for API server
-```
-
-### Environment variables
-
-```
-HERMES_STREAMING_ENABLED=true    # Master switch via env
-```
-
-### How the flag is read
-
-- **CLI**: `load_cli_config()` reads `streaming.enabled`, sets env var. AIAgent
-  checks at init time.
-- **Gateway**: `_run_agent()` reads config, decides whether to pass
-  `stream_callback` to the AIAgent constructor.
-- **API server**: For Chat Completions `stream=true` requests, always uses streaming
-  regardless of config (the client is explicitly requesting it). For non-stream
-  requests, uses config.
-
-### Precedence
-
-1. API server: client's `stream` field overrides everything
-2. Per-platform config override (e.g., `streaming.telegram: true`)
-3. Master `streaming.enabled` flag
-4. Default: off
-
----
-
-## Implementation Plan
-
-### Phase 1: Core streaming infrastructure in AIAgent
-
-**File: run_agent.py**
-
-#### 1a. Add stream_callback parameter to __init__ (~5 lines)
-
-```python
-def __init__(self, ..., stream_callback: callable = None, ...):
-    self.stream_callback = stream_callback
-```
-
-No other init changes. The callback is optional — when None, everything
-works exactly as before.
-
-#### 1b. Add _run_streaming_chat_completion() method (~65 lines)
-
-New method for Chat Completions API streaming:
-
-```python
-def _run_streaming_chat_completion(self, api_kwargs: dict):
-    """Stream a chat completion, emitting text tokens via stream_callback.
-    
-    Returns a fake response object compatible with the non-streaming code path.
-    Falls back to non-streaming on any error.
-    """
-    stream_kwargs = dict(api_kwargs)
-    stream_kwargs["stream"] = True
-    stream_kwargs["stream_options"] = {"include_usage": True}
-    
-    accumulated_content = []
-    accumulated_tool_calls = {}  # index -> {id, name, arguments}
-    final_usage = None
-    
-    try:
-        stream = self.client.chat.completions.create(**stream_kwargs)
-        
-        for chunk in stream:
-            if not chunk.choices:
-                # Usage-only chunk (final)
-                if chunk.usage:
-                    final_usage = chunk.usage
-                continue
-            
-            delta = chunk.choices[0].delta

-            # Text content — emit via callback
-            if delta.content:
-                accumulated_content.append(delta.content)
-                if self.stream_callback:
-                    try:
-                        self.stream_callback(delta.content)
-                    except Exception:
-                        pass
-            
-            # Tool call deltas — accumulate silently
-            if delta.tool_calls:
-                for tc_delta in delta.tool_calls:
-                    idx = tc_delta.index
-                    if idx not in accumulated_tool_calls:
-                        accumulated_tool_calls[idx] = {
-                            "id": tc_delta.id or "",
-                            "name": "", "arguments": ""

-                        if tc_delta.function.arguments:
-                            accumulated_tool_calls[idx]["arguments"] += tc_delta.function.arguments
-        
-        # Build fake response compatible with existing code
-        tool_calls = []
-        for idx in sorted(accumulated_tool_calls):
-            tc = accumulated_tool_calls[idx]
-            if tc["name"]:
-                tool_calls.append(SimpleNamespace(
-                    id=tc["id"], type="function",
-                    function=SimpleNamespace(name=tc["name"], arguments=tc["arguments"]),
-                ))
-        
-        return SimpleNamespace(
-            choices=[SimpleNamespace(
-                message=SimpleNamespace(
-                    content="".join(accumulated_content) or "",
-                    tool_calls=tool_calls or None,

-                ),
-                finish_reason="tool_calls" if tool_calls else "stop",
-            )],
-            usage=final_usage,
-            model=self.model,
-        )
-    
-    except Exception as e:
-        logger.debug("Streaming failed, falling back to non-streaming: %s", e)
-        return self.client.chat.completions.create(**api_kwargs)
-```
-
-#### 1c. Modify _run_codex_stream() for Responses API (~10 lines)
-
-The method already iterates the stream. Add callback emission:
-
-```python
-def _run_codex_stream(self, api_kwargs: dict):
-    with self.client.responses.stream(**api_kwargs) as stream:
-        for event in stream:
-            # Emit text deltas if streaming callback is set
-            if self.stream_callback and hasattr(event, 'type'):
-                if event.type == 'response.output_text.delta':
-                    try:
-                        self.stream_callback(event.delta)
-                    except Exception:
-                        pass
-        return stream.get_final_response()
-```
-
-#### 1d. Modify _interruptible_api_call() (~5 lines)
-
-Add the streaming branch:
-
-```python
-def _call():
-    try:
-        if self.api_mode == "codex_responses":
-            result["response"] = self._run_codex_stream(api_kwargs)
-        elif self.stream_callback is not None:
-            result["response"] = self._run_streaming_chat_completion(api_kwargs)
-        else:
-            result["response"] = self.client.chat.completions.create(**api_kwargs)
-    except Exception as e:
-        result["error"] = e
-```
-
-#### 1e. Signal end-of-stream to consumers (~5 lines)
-
-After the API call returns, signal the callback that streaming is done
-so consumers can finalize (remove cursor, close SSE, etc.):
-
-```python
-# In run_conversation(), after _interruptible_api_call returns:
-if self.stream_callback:
-    try:
-        self.stream_callback(None)  # None = end of stream signal
-    except Exception:
-        pass
-```
-
-Consumers check: `if delta is None: finalize()`
-
-**Tests for Phase 1:** (~150 lines)
-- Test _run_streaming_chat_completion with mocked stream
-- Test fallback to non-streaming on error
-- Test tool_call accumulation during streaming
-- Test stream_callback receives correct deltas
-- Test None signal at end of stream
-- Test streaming disabled when callback is None
-
----
-
-### Phase 2: Gateway consumers (Telegram, Discord, etc.)
-
-**File: gateway/run.py**
-
-#### 2a. Read streaming config (~15 lines)
-
-In `_run_agent()`, before creating the AIAgent:
-
-```python
-# Read streaming config
-_streaming_enabled = False

-```
-
-#### 2d. Skip final send if already streamed (~10 lines)
-
-In `_process_message_background()` (base.py), after getting the response,
-if streaming was active and `_stream_msg_id[0]` is set, the final response
-was already delivered via progressive edits. Skip the normal `self.send()`
-call to avoid duplicating the message.
-
-This is the most delicate integration point — we need to communicate from
-the gateway's `_run_agent` back to the base adapter's response sender that
-the response was already delivered. Options:
-
-- **Option A**: Return a special marker in the result dict:
-  `result["_streamed_msg_id"] = _stream_msg_id[0]`
-  The base adapter checks this and skips `send()`.
-  
-- **Option B**: Edit the already-sent message with the final response
-  (which may differ slightly from accumulated tokens due to think-block
-  stripping, etc.) and don't send a new one.
-
-- **Option C**: The stream preview task handles the FULL final response
-  (including any post-processing), and the handler returns None to skip
-  the normal send path.
-
-Recommended: **Option A** — cleanest separation. The result dict already
-carries metadata; adding one more field is low-risk.
-
-**Platform-specific considerations:**
-
-| Platform | Edit support | Rate limits | Streaming approach |
-|----------|-------------|-------------|-------------------|
-| Telegram | ✅ edit_message_text | ~20 edits/min | Edit every 1.5s |
-| Discord | ✅ message.edit | 5 edits/5s per message | Edit every 1.2s |
-| Slack | ✅ chat.update | Tier 3 (~50/min) | Edit every 1.5s |
-| WhatsApp | ❌ no edit support | N/A | Skip streaming, use normal path |
-| HomeAssistant | ❌ no edit | N/A | Skip streaming |
-| API Server | ✅ SSE native | No limit | Real SSE events |
-
-WhatsApp and HomeAssistant fall back to non-streaming automatically because
-they don't support message editing.
-
-**Tests for Phase 2:** (~100 lines)
-- Test stream_preview sends/edits correctly
-- Test skip-final-send when streaming delivered
-- Test WhatsApp/HA graceful fallback
-- Test streaming disabled per-platform config
-- Test thread_id metadata forwarded in stream messages
-
----
-
-### Phase 3: CLI streaming
-
-**File: cli.py**
-
-#### 3a. Set up callback in the CLI chat loop (~20 lines)
-
-In `_chat_once()` or wherever the agent is invoked:
-
-```python
-if streaming_enabled:
-    _stream_q = queue.Queue()
-    _stream_done = threading.Event()
-    
-    def _cli_stream_callback(delta):
-        if delta is None:
-            _stream_done.set()
-        else:
-            _stream_q.put(delta)
-    
-    agent.stream_callback = _cli_stream_callback
-```
-
-#### 3b. Token display thread/task (~30 lines)
-
-Start a thread that reads the queue and prints tokens:
-
-```python
-def _stream_display():
-    """Print tokens to terminal as they arrive."""
-    first_token = True
-    while not _stream_done.is_set():
-        try:
-            delta = _stream_q.get(timeout=0.1)
-        except queue.Empty:
-            continue
-        if first_token:
-            # Print response box top border
-            _cprint(f"\n{top}")
-            first_token = False
-        sys.stdout.write(delta)
-        sys.stdout.flush()
-    # Drain remaining
-    while not _stream_q.empty():
-        sys.stdout.write(_stream_q.get_nowait())
-    sys.stdout.flush()
-    # Print bottom border
-    _cprint(f"\n\n{bot}")
-```
-
-**Integration challenge: prompt_toolkit**
-
-The CLI uses prompt_toolkit which controls the terminal. Writing directly
-to stdout while prompt_toolkit is active can cause display corruption.
-The existing KawaiiSpinner already solves this by using prompt_toolkit's
-`patch_stdout` context. The streaming display would need to do the same.
-
-Alternative: use `_cprint()` for each token chunk (routes through
-prompt_toolkit's renderer). But this might be slow for individual tokens.
-
-Recommended approach: accumulate tokens in small batches (e.g., every 50ms)
-and `_cprint()` the batch. This balances display responsiveness with
-prompt_toolkit compatibility.
-
-**Tests for Phase 3:** (~50 lines)
-- Test CLI streaming callback setup
-- Test response box borders with streaming
-- Test fallback when streaming disabled
-
----
-
-### Phase 4: API Server real streaming
-
-**File: gateway/platforms/api_server.py**
-
-Replace the pseudo-streaming `_write_sse_chat_completion()` with real
-token-by-token SSE when the agent supports it.
-
-#### 4a. Wire streaming callback for stream=true requests (~20 lines)
-
-```python
-if stream:
-    _stream_q = queue.Queue()
-    
-    def _api_stream_callback(delta):
-        _stream_q.put(delta)  # None = done
-    
-    # Pass callback to _run_agent
-    result, usage = await self._run_agent(
-        ..., stream_callback=_api_stream_callback,
-    )
-```
-
-#### 4b. Real SSE writer (~40 lines)
-
-```python
-async def _write_real_sse(self, request, completion_id, model, stream_q):
-    response = web.StreamResponse(
-        headers={"Content-Type": "text/event-stream", "Cache-Control": "no-cache"},
-    )
-    await response.prepare(request)
-    
-    # Role chunk
-    await response.write(...)
-    
-    # Stream content chunks as they arrive
-    while True:
-        try:
-            delta = await asyncio.get_event_loop().run_in_executor(
-                None, lambda: stream_q.get(timeout=0.1)
-            )
-        except queue.Empty:
-            continue
-        
-        if delta is None:  # End of stream
-            break
-        
-        chunk = {"id": completion_id, "object": "chat.completion.chunk", ...
-                 "choices": [{"delta": {"content": delta}, ...}]}
-        await response.write(f"data: {json.dumps(chunk)}\n\n".encode())
-    
-    # Finish + [DONE]
-    await response.write(...)
-    await response.write(b"data: [DONE]\n\n")
-    return response
-```
-
-**Challenge: concurrent execution**
-
-The agent runs in a thread executor. SSE writing happens in the async event
-loop. The queue bridges them. But `_run_agent()` currently awaits the full
-result before returning. For real streaming, we need to start the agent in
-the background and stream tokens while it runs:
-
-```python
-# Start agent in background
-agent_task = asyncio.create_task(self._run_agent_async(...))
-
-# Stream tokens while agent runs
-await self._write_real_sse(request, ..., stream_q)
-
-# Agent is done by now (stream_q received None)
-result, usage = await agent_task
-```
-
-This requires splitting `_run_agent` into an async version that doesn't
-block waiting for the result, or running it in a separate task.
-
-**Responses API SSE format:**
-
-For `/v1/responses` with `stream=true`, the SSE events are different:
-
-```
-event: response.output_text.delta
-data: {"type":"response.output_text.delta","delta":"Hello"}
-
-event: response.completed  
-data: {"type":"response.completed","response":{...}}
-```
-
-This needs a separate SSE writer that emits Responses API format events.
-
-**Tests for Phase 4:** (~80 lines)
-- Test real SSE streaming with mocked agent
-- Test SSE event format (Chat Completions vs Responses)
-- Test client disconnect during streaming
-- Test fallback to pseudo-streaming when callback not available
-
----
-
-## Integration Issues & Edge Cases
-
-### 1. Tool calls during streaming
-
-When the model returns tool calls instead of text, no text tokens are emitted.
-The stream_callback is simply never called with text. After tools execute, the
-next API call may produce the final text response — streaming picks up again.
-
-The stream preview task needs to handle this: if no tokens arrive during a
-tool-call round, don't send/edit any message. The tool progress messages
-continue working as before.
-
-### 2. Duplicate messages
-
-The biggest risk: the agent sends the final response normally (via the
-existing send path) AND the stream preview already showed it. The user
-sees the response twice.
-
-Prevention: when streaming is active and tokens were delivered, the final
-response send must be suppressed. The `result["_streamed_msg_id"]` marker
-tells the base adapter to skip its normal send.
-
-### 3. Response post-processing
-
-The final response may differ from the accumulated streamed tokens:
-- Think block stripping (`<think>...</think>` removed)
-- Trailing whitespace cleanup
-- Tool result media tag appending
-
-The stream preview shows raw tokens. The final edit should use the
-post-processed version. This means the final edit (removing the cursor)
-should use the post-processed `final_response`, not just the accumulated
-stream text.
-
-### 4. Context compression during streaming
-
-If the agent triggers context compression mid-conversation, the streaming
-tokens from BEFORE compression are from a different context than those
-after. This isn't a problem in practice — compression happens between
-API calls, not during streaming.
-
-### 5. Interrupt during streaming
-
-User sends a new message while streaming → interrupt. The stream is killed
-(HTTP connection closed), accumulated tokens are shown as-is (no cursor),
-and the interrupt message is processed normally. This is already handled by
-`_interruptible_api_call` closing the client.
-
-### 6. Multi-model / fallback
-
-If the primary model fails and the agent falls back to a different model,
-streaming state resets. The fallback call may or may not support streaming.
-The graceful fallback in `_run_streaming_chat_completion` handles this.
-
-### 7. Rate limiting on edits
-
-Telegram: ~20 edits/minute (~1 every 3 seconds to be safe)
-Discord: 5 edits per 5 seconds per message
-Slack: ~50 API calls/minute
-
-The 1.5s edit interval is conservative enough for all platforms. If we get
-429 rate limit errors on edits, just skip that edit cycle and try next time.

-## Rollout Plan
-
-1. **Phase 1** (core): Merge to main. Streaming disabled by default.
-   Zero impact on existing behavior. Can be tested with env var.
-
-2. **Phase 2** (gateway): Merge to main. Test on Telegram manually.
-   Enable per-platform: `streaming.telegram: true` in config.
-
-3. **Phase 3** (CLI): Merge to main. Test in terminal.
-   Enable: `streaming.cli: true` or `streaming.enabled: true`.
-
-4. **Phase 4** (API server): Merge to main. Test with Open WebUI.
-   Auto-enabled when client sends `stream: true`.
-
-Each phase is independently mergeable and testable. Streaming stays
-off by default throughout. Once all phases are stable, consider
-changing the default to enabled.

+### Adding CLI Commands
 
-All slash commands are defined in a central `COMMAND_REGISTRY` list of `CommandDef` objects. Every downstream consumer derives from this registry automatically:
-
-- **CLI** — `process_command()` resolves aliases via `resolve_command()`, dispatches on canonical name
-- **Gateway** — `GATEWAY_KNOWN_COMMANDS` frozenset for hook emission, `resolve_command()` for dispatch

-- **Autocomplete** — `COMMANDS` flat dict feeds `SlashCommandCompleter`
-- **CLI help** — `COMMANDS_BY_CATEGORY` dict feeds `show_help()`
-
-### Adding a Slash Command
-
-1. Add a `CommandDef` entry to `COMMAND_REGISTRY` in `hermes_cli/commands.py`:
-```python
-CommandDef("mycommand", "Description of what it does", "Session",
-           aliases=("mc",), args_hint="[arg]"),
-```
-2. Add handler in `HermesCLI.process_command()` in `cli.py`:
-```python
-elif canonical == "mycommand":
-    self._handle_mycommand(cmd_original)
-```
-3. If the command is available in the gateway, add a handler in `gateway/run.py`:
-```python
-if canonical == "mycommand":
-    return await self._handle_mycommand(event)
-```
-4. For persistent settings, use `save_config_value()` in `cli.py`
-
-**CommandDef fields:**
-- `name` — canonical name without slash (e.g. `"background"`)
-- `description` — human-readable description
-- `category` — one of `"Session"`, `"Configuration"`, `"Tools & Skills"`, `"Info"`, `"Exit"`
-- `aliases` — tuple of alternative names (e.g. `("bg",)`)
-- `args_hint` — argument placeholder shown in help (e.g. `"<prompt>"`, `"[name]"`)

-## Skin/Theme System
-
-The skin engine (`hermes_cli/skin_engine.py`) provides data-driven CLI visual customization. Skins are **pure data** — no code changes needed to add a new skin.
-
-### Architecture
-
-```
-hermes_cli/skin_engine.py    # SkinConfig dataclass, built-in skins, YAML loader
-~/.hermes/skins/*.yaml       # User-installed custom skins (drop-in)
-```
-
-- `init_skin_from_config()` — called at CLI startup, reads `display.skin` from config
-- `get_active_skin()` — returns cached `SkinConfig` for the current skin
-- `set_active_skin(name)` — switches skin at runtime (used by `/skin` command)
-- `load_skin(name)` — loads from user skins first, then built-ins, then falls back to default
-- Missing skin values inherit from the `default` skin automatically
-
-### What skins customize
-
-| Element | Skin Key | Used By |
-|---------|----------|---------|
-| Banner panel border | `colors.banner_border` | `banner.py` |
-| Banner panel title | `colors.banner_title` | `banner.py` |
-| Banner section headers | `colors.banner_accent` | `banner.py` |
-| Banner dim text | `colors.banner_dim` | `banner.py` |
-| Banner body text | `colors.banner_text` | `banner.py` |
-| Response box border | `colors.response_border` | `cli.py` |
-| Spinner faces (waiting) | `spinner.waiting_faces` | `display.py` |
-| Spinner faces (thinking) | `spinner.thinking_faces` | `display.py` |
-| Spinner verbs | `spinner.thinking_verbs` | `display.py` |
-| Spinner wings (optional) | `spinner.wings` | `display.py` |
-| Tool output prefix | `tool_prefix` | `display.py` |
-| Per-tool emojis | `tool_emojis` | `display.py` → `get_tool_emoji()` |
-| Agent name | `branding.agent_name` | `banner.py`, `cli.py` |
-| Welcome message | `branding.welcome` | `cli.py` |
-| Response box label | `branding.response_label` | `cli.py` |
-| Prompt symbol | `branding.prompt_symbol` | `cli.py` |
-
-### Built-in skins
-
-- `default` — Classic Hermes gold/kawaii (the current look)
-- `ares` — Crimson/bronze war-god theme with custom spinner wings
-- `mono` — Clean grayscale monochrome
-- `slate` — Cool blue developer-focused theme
-
-### Adding a built-in skin
-
-Add to `_BUILTIN_SKINS` dict in `hermes_cli/skin_engine.py`:
-
-```python
-"mytheme": {
-    "name": "mytheme",
-    "description": "Short description",
-    "colors": { ... },
-    "spinner": { ... },
-    "branding": { ... },
-    "tool_prefix": "┊",
-},
-```
-
-### User skins (YAML)
-
-Users create `~/.hermes/skins/<name>.yaml`:
-
-```yaml
-name: cyberpunk
-description: Neon-soaked terminal theme
-
-colors:
-  banner_border: "#FF00FF"
-  banner_title: "#00FFFF"
-  banner_accent: "#FF1493"
-
-spinner:
-  thinking_verbs: ["jacking in", "decrypting", "uploading"]
-  wings:
-    - ["⟨⚡", "⚡⟩"]
-
-branding:
-  agent_name: "Cyber Agent"
-  response_label: " ⚡ Cyber "
-
-tool_prefix: "▏"
-```
-
-Activate with `/skin cyberpunk` or `display.skin: cyberpunk` in config.yaml.

 ### Prompt Caching Must Not Break
 
 Hermes-Agent ensures caching remains valid throughout a conversation. **Do NOT implement changes that would:**
@@ -349,82 +210,10 @@ Cache-breaking forces dramatically higher costs. The ONLY time we alter context
 - **CLI**: Uses current directory (`.` → `os.getcwd()`)
 - **Messaging**: Uses `MESSAGING_CWD` env var (default: home directory)
 
-### Background Process Notifications (Gateway)
-
-When `terminal(background=true, check_interval=...)` is used, the gateway runs a watcher that
-pushes status updates to the user's chat. Control verbosity with `display.background_process_notifications`
-in config.yaml (or `HERMES_BACKGROUND_NOTIFICATIONS` env var):
-
-- `all` — running-output updates + final message (default)
-- `result` — only the final completion message
-- `error` — only the final message when exit code != 0
-- `off` — no watcher messages at all
-
 ---
 
-## Profiles: Multi-Instance Support
-
-Hermes supports **profiles** — multiple fully isolated instances, each with its own
-`HERMES_HOME` directory (config, API keys, memory, sessions, skills, gateway, etc.).
-
-The core mechanism: `_apply_profile_override()` in `hermes_cli/main.py` sets
-`HERMES_HOME` before any module imports. All 119+ references to `get_hermes_home()`
-automatically scope to the active profile.
-
-### Rules for profile-safe code
-
-1. **Use `get_hermes_home()` for all HERMES_HOME paths.** Import from `hermes_constants`.
-   NEVER hardcode `~/.hermes` or `Path.home() / ".hermes"` in code that reads/writes state.
-   ```python
-   # GOOD
-   from hermes_constants import get_hermes_home
-   config_path = get_hermes_home() / "config.yaml"
-
-   # BAD — breaks profiles
-   config_path = Path.home() / ".hermes" / "config.yaml"
-   ```
-
-2. **Use `display_hermes_home()` for user-facing messages.** Import from `hermes_constants`.
-   This returns `~/.hermes` for default or `~/.hermes/profiles/<name>` for profiles.
-   ```python
-   # GOOD
-   from hermes_constants import display_hermes_home
-   print(f"Config saved to {display_hermes_home()}/config.yaml")
-
-   # BAD — shows wrong path for profiles
-   print("Config saved to ~/.hermes/config.yaml")
-   ```
-
-3. **Module-level constants are fine** — they cache `get_hermes_home()` at import time,
-   which is AFTER `_apply_profile_override()` sets the env var. Just use `get_hermes_home()`,
-   not `Path.home() / ".hermes"`.
-
-4. **Tests that mock `Path.home()` must also set `HERMES_HOME`** — since code now uses
-   `get_hermes_home()` (reads env var), not `Path.home() / ".hermes"`:
-   ```python
-   with patch.object(Path, "home", return_value=tmp_path), \
-        patch.dict(os.environ, {"HERMES_HOME": str(tmp_path / ".hermes")}):
-       ...
-   ```
-
-5. **Gateway platform adapters should use token locks** — if the adapter connects with
-   a unique credential (bot token, API key), call `acquire_scoped_lock()` from
-   `gateway.status` in the `connect()`/`start()` method and `release_scoped_lock()` in
-   `disconnect()`/`stop()`. This prevents two profiles from using the same credential.
-   See `gateway/platforms/telegram.py` for the canonical pattern.
-
-6. **Profile operations are HOME-anchored, not HERMES_HOME-anchored** — `_get_profiles_root()`
-   returns `Path.home() / ".hermes" / "profiles"`, NOT `get_hermes_home() / "profiles"`.
-   This is intentional — it lets `hermes -p coder profile list` see all profiles regardless
-   of which one is active.
-
 ## Known Pitfalls
 
-### DO NOT hardcode `~/.hermes` paths
-Use `get_hermes_home()` from `hermes_constants` for code paths. Use `display_hermes_home()`
-for user-facing print/log messages. Hardcoding `~/.hermes` breaks profiles — each profile
-has its own `HERMES_HOME` directory. This was the source of 5 bugs fixed in PR #3575.
-
 ### DO NOT use `simple_term_menu` for interactive menus
 Rendering bugs in tmux/iTerm2 — ghosting on scroll. Use `curses` (stdlib) instead. See `hermes_cli/tools_config.py` for the pattern.

 Leaks as literal `?[K` text under `prompt_toolkit`'s `patch_stdout`. Use space-padding: `f"\r{line}{' ' * pad}"`.
 
 ### `_last_resolved_tool_names` is a process-global in `model_tools.py`
-`_run_single_child()` in `delegate_tool.py` saves and restores this global around subagent execution. If you add new code that reads this global, be aware it may be temporarily stale during child agent runs.
-
-### DO NOT hardcode cross-tool references in schema descriptions
-Tool schema descriptions must not mention tools from other toolsets by name (e.g., `browser_navigate` saying "prefer web_search"). Those tools may be unavailable (missing API keys, disabled toolset), causing the model to hallucinate calls to non-existent tools. If a cross-reference is needed, add it dynamically in `get_tool_definitions()` in `model_tools.py` — see the `browser_navigate` / `execute_code` post-processing blocks for the pattern.
+When subagents overwrite this global, `execute_code` calls after delegation may fail with missing tool imports. Known bug.
 
 ### Tests must not write to `~/.hermes/`
 The `_isolate_hermes_home` autouse fixture in `tests/conftest.py` redirects `HERMES_HOME` to a temp dir. Never hardcode `~/.hermes/` paths in tests.
 
-**Profile tests**: When testing profile features, also mock `Path.home()` so that
-`_get_profiles_root()` and `_get_default_hermes_home()` resolve within the temp dir.
-Use the pattern from `tests/hermes_cli/test_profiles.py`:
-```python
-@pytest.fixture
-def profile_env(tmp_path, monkeypatch):
-    home = tmp_path / ".hermes"
-    home.mkdir()
-    monkeypatch.setattr(Path, "home", lambda: tmp_path)
-    monkeypatch.setenv("HERMES_HOME", str(home))
-    return home

-### Conditional skill activation
-
-Skills can declare conditions that control when they appear in the system prompt, based on which tools and toolsets are available in the current session. This is primarily used for **fallback skills** — alternatives that should only be shown when a primary tool is unavailable.
-
-Four fields are supported under `metadata.hermes`:
-
-```yaml
-metadata:
-  hermes:
-    fallback_for_toolsets: [web]      # Show ONLY when these toolsets are unavailable
-    requires_toolsets: [terminal]     # Show ONLY when these toolsets are available
-    fallback_for_tools: [web_search]  # Show ONLY when these specific tools are unavailable
-    requires_tools: [terminal]        # Show ONLY when these specific tools are available
-```
-
-**Semantics:**
-- `fallback_for_*`: The skill is a backup. It is **hidden** when the listed tools/toolsets are available, and **shown** when they are unavailable. Use this for free alternatives to premium tools.
-- `requires_*`: The skill needs certain tools to function. It is **hidden** when the listed tools/toolsets are unavailable. Use this for skills that depend on specific capabilities (e.g., a skill that only makes sense with terminal access).
-- If both are specified, both conditions must be satisfied for the skill to appear.
-- If neither is specified, the skill is always shown (backward compatible).
-
-**Examples:**
-
-```yaml
-# DuckDuckGo search — shown when Firecrawl (web toolset) is unavailable
-metadata:
-  hermes:
-    fallback_for_toolsets: [web]
-
-# Smart home skill — only useful when terminal is available
-metadata:
-  hermes:
-    requires_toolsets: [terminal]
-
-# Local browser fallback — shown when Browserbase is unavailable
-metadata:
-  hermes:
-    fallback_for_toolsets: [browser]
-```
-
-The filtering happens at prompt build time in `agent/prompt_builder.py`. The `build_skills_system_prompt()` function receives the set of available tools and toolsets from the agent and uses `_skill_should_show()` to evaluate each skill's conditions.
-
-### Skill setup metadata
-
-Skills can declare secure setup-on-load metadata via the `required_environment_variables` frontmatter field. Missing values do not hide the skill from discovery; they trigger a CLI-only secure prompt when the skill is actually loaded.
-
-```yaml
-required_environment_variables:
-  - name: TENOR_API_KEY
-    prompt: Tenor API key
-    help: Get a key from https://developers.google.com/tenor
-    required_for: full functionality
-```
-
-The user may skip setup and keep loading the skill. Hermes only exposes metadata (`stored_as`, `skipped`, `validated`) to the model — never the secret value.
-
-Legacy `prerequisites.env_vars` remains supported and is normalized into the new representation.
-
-```yaml
-prerequisites:
-  env_vars: [TENOR_API_KEY]       # Legacy alias for required_environment_variables
-  commands: [curl, jq]            # Advisory CLI checks
-```
-
-Gateway and messaging sessions never collect secrets in-band; they instruct the user to run `hermes setup` or update `~/.hermes/.env` locally.
-
-**When to declare required environment variables:**
-- The skill uses an API key or token that should be collected securely at load time
-- The skill can still be useful if the user skips setup, but may degrade gracefully
-
-**When to declare command prerequisites:**
-- The skill relies on a CLI tool that may not be installed (e.g., `himalaya`, `openhue`, `ddgs`)
-- Treat command checks as guidance, not discovery-time hiding
-
-See `skills/gifs/gif-search/` and `skills/email/himalaya/` for examples.
-
 ### Skill guidelines
 
 - **No external dependencies unless absolutely necessary.** Prefer stdlib Python, curl, and existing Hermes tools (`web_extract`, `terminal`, `read_file`).

-## Adding a Skin / Theme
-
-Hermes uses a data-driven skin system — no code changes needed to add a new skin.
-
-**Option A: User skin (YAML file)**
-
-Create `~/.hermes/skins/<name>.yaml`:
-
-```yaml
-name: mytheme
-description: Short description of the theme
-

-  banner_title: "#HEX"      # Panel title color
-  banner_accent: "#HEX"     # Section header color
-  banner_dim: "#HEX"        # Muted/dim text color
-  banner_text: "#HEX"       # Body text color
-  response_border: "#HEX"   # Response box border
-
-spinner:
-  waiting_faces: ["(⚔)", "(⛨)"]
-  thinking_faces: ["(⚔)", "(⌁)"]
-  thinking_verbs: ["forging", "plotting"]
-  wings:                     # Optional left/right decorations
-    - ["⟪⚔", "⚔⟫"]
-
-branding:
-  agent_name: "My Agent"
-  welcome: "Welcome message"
-  response_label: " ⚔ Agent "
-  prompt_symbol: "⚔ ❯ "
-
-tool_prefix: "╎"             # Tool output line prefix
-```
-
-All fields are optional — missing values inherit from the default skin.
-
-**Option B: Built-in skin**
-
-Add to `_BUILTIN_SKINS` dict in `hermes_cli/skin_engine.py`. Use the same schema as above but as a Python dict. Built-in skins ship with the package and are always available.
-
-**Activating:**
-- CLI: `/skin mytheme` or set `display.skin: mytheme` in config.yaml
-- Config: `display: { skin: mytheme }`
-
-See `hermes_cli/skin_engine.py` for the full schema and existing skins as examples.

-## CLI vs Messaging Quick Reference
-
-Hermes has two entry points: start the terminal UI with `hermes`, or run the gateway and talk to it from Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, or Email. Once you're in a conversation, many slash commands are shared across both interfaces.
-
-| Action | CLI | Messaging platforms |
-|---------|-----|---------------------|
-| Start chatting | `hermes` | Run `hermes gateway setup` + `hermes gateway start`, then send the bot a message |
-| Start fresh conversation | `/new` or `/reset` | `/new` or `/reset` |
-| Change model | `/model [provider:model]` | `/model [provider:model]` |
-| Set a personality | `/personality [name]` | `/personality [name]` |
-| Retry or undo the last turn | `/retry`, `/undo` | `/retry`, `/undo` |
-| Compress context / check usage | `/compress`, `/usage`, `/insights [--days N]` | `/compress`, `/usage`, `/insights [days]` |
-| Browse skills | `/skills` or `/<skill-name>` | `/skills` or `/<skill-name>` |
-| Interrupt current work | `Ctrl+C` or send a new message | `/stop` or send a new message |
-| Platform-specific status | `/platforms` | `/status`, `/sethome` |

-## Migrating from OpenClaw
-
-If you're coming from OpenClaw, Hermes can automatically import your settings, memories, skills, and API keys.
-
-**During first-time setup:** The setup wizard (`hermes setup`) automatically detects `~/.openclaw` and offers to migrate before configuration begins.
-
-**Anytime after install:**
-
-```bash
-hermes claw migrate              # Interactive migration (full preset)
-hermes claw migrate --dry-run    # Preview what would be migrated
-hermes claw migrate --preset user-data   # Migrate without secrets
-hermes claw migrate --overwrite  # Overwrite existing conflicts
-```
-
-What gets imported:
-- **SOUL.md** — persona file

-# Hermes Agent v0.2.0 (v2026.3.12)
-
-**Release Date:** March 12, 2026
-
-> First tagged release since v0.1.0 (the initial pre-public foundation). In just over two weeks, Hermes Agent went from a small internal project to a full-featured AI agent platform — thanks to an explosion of community contributions. This release covers **216 merged pull requests** from **63 contributors**, resolving **119 issues**.
-

-
-## ✨ Highlights
-
-- **Multi-Platform Messaging Gateway** — Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, Email (IMAP/SMTP), and Home Assistant platforms with unified session management, media attachments, and per-platform tool configuration.
-
-- **MCP (Model Context Protocol) Client** — Native MCP support with stdio and HTTP transports, reconnection, resource/prompt discovery, and sampling (server-initiated LLM requests). ([#291](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/291) — @0xbyt4, [#301](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/301), [#753](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/753))

-
-- **Git Worktree Isolation** — `hermes -w` launches isolated agent sessions in git worktrees for safe parallel work on the same repo. ([#654](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/654))
-
-- **Filesystem Checkpoints & Rollback** — Automatic snapshots before destructive operations with `/rollback` to restore. ([#824](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/824))
-
-- **3,289 Tests** — From near-zero test coverage to a comprehensive test suite covering agent, gateway, tools, cron, and CLI.

-# Hermes Agent v0.3.0 (v2026.3.17)
-
-**Release Date:** March 17, 2026
-
-> The streaming, plugins, and provider release — unified real-time token delivery, first-class plugin architecture, rebuilt provider system with Vercel AI Gateway, native Anthropic provider, smart approvals, live Chrome CDP browser connect, ACP IDE integration, Honcho memory, voice mode, persistent shell, and 50+ bug fixes across every platform.
-
----
-
-## ✨ Highlights
-
-- **Unified Streaming Infrastructure** — Real-time token-by-token delivery in CLI and all gateway platforms. Responses stream as they're generated instead of arriving as a block. ([#1538](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1538))
-
-- **First-Class Plugin Architecture** — Drop Python files into `~/.hermes/plugins/` to extend Hermes with custom tools, commands, and hooks. No forking required. ([#1544](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1544), [#1555](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1555))
-
-- **Native Anthropic Provider** — Direct Anthropic API calls with Claude Code credential auto-discovery, OAuth PKCE flows, and native prompt caching. No OpenRouter middleman needed. ([#1097](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1097))
-
-- **Smart Approvals + /stop Command** — Codex-inspired approval system that learns which commands are safe and remembers your preferences. `/stop` kills the current agent run immediately. ([#1543](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1543))
-
-- **Honcho Memory Integration** — Async memory writes, configurable recall modes, session title integration, and multi-user isolation in gateway mode. By @erosika. ([#736](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/736))
-
-- **Voice Mode** — Push-to-talk in CLI, voice notes in Telegram/Discord, Discord voice channel support, and local Whisper transcription via faster-whisper. ([#1299](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1299), [#1185](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1185), [#1429](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1429))
-
-- **Concurrent Tool Execution** — Multiple independent tool calls now run in parallel via ThreadPoolExecutor, significantly reducing latency for multi-tool turns. ([#1152](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1152))
-
-- **PII Redaction** — When `privacy.redact_pii` is enabled, personally identifiable information is automatically scrubbed before sending context to LLM providers. ([#1542](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1542))
-
-- **`/browser connect` via CDP** — Attach browser tools to a live Chrome instance through Chrome DevTools Protocol. Debug, inspect, and interact with pages you already have open. ([#1549](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1549))
-
-- **Vercel AI Gateway Provider** — Route Hermes through Vercel's AI Gateway for access to their model catalog and infrastructure. ([#1628](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1628))
-
-- **Centralized Provider Router** — Rebuilt provider system with `call_llm` API, unified `/model` command, auto-detect provider on model switch, and direct endpoint overrides for auxiliary/delegation clients. ([#1003](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1003), [#1506](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1506), [#1375](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1375))
-
-- **ACP Server (IDE Integration)** — VS Code, Zed, and JetBrains can now connect to Hermes as an agent backend, with full slash command support. ([#1254](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1254), [#1532](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1532))
-
-- **Persistent Shell Mode** — Local and SSH terminal backends can maintain shell state across tool calls — cd, env vars, and aliases persist. By @alt-glitch. ([#1067](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1067), [#1483](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1483))
-
-- **Agentic On-Policy Distillation (OPD)** — New RL training environment for distilling agent policies, expanding the Atropos training ecosystem. ([#1149](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1149))

-
----
-
-## ✨ Highlights
-
-- **Nous Portal now supports 400+ models** — The Nous Research inference portal has expanded dramatically, giving Hermes Agent users access to over 400 models through a single provider endpoint
-
-- **Hugging Face as a first-class inference provider** — Full integration with HF Inference API including curated agentic model picker that maps to OpenRouter analogues, live `/models` endpoint probe, and setup wizard flow ([#3419](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3419), [#3440](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3440))
-
-- **Telegram Private Chat Topics** — Project-based conversations with functional skill binding per topic, enabling isolated workflows within a single Telegram chat ([#3163](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3163))
-
-- **Native Modal SDK backend** — Replaced swe-rex dependency with native Modal SDK (`Sandbox.create.aio` + `exec.aio`), eliminating tunnels and simplifying the Modal terminal backend ([#3538](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3538))
-
-- **Plugin lifecycle hooks activated** — `pre_llm_call`, `post_llm_call`, `on_session_start`, and `on_session_end` hooks now fire in the agent loop and CLI/gateway, completing the plugin hook system ([#3542](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3542))
-
-- **Improved OpenAI Model Reliability** — Added `GPT_TOOL_USE_GUIDANCE` to prevent GPT models from describing intended actions instead of making tool calls, plus automatic stripping of stale budget warnings from conversation history that caused models to avoid tools across turns ([#3528](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3528))
-
-- **Nix flake** — Full uv2nix build, NixOS module with persistent container mode, auto-generated config keys from Python source, and suffix PATHs for agent-friendliness ([#20](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/20), [#3274](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3274), [#3061](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3061)) by @alt-glitch
-
-- **Supply chain hardening** — Removed compromised `litellm` dependency, pinned all dependency version ranges, regenerated `uv.lock` with hashes, added CI workflow scanning PRs for supply chain attack patterns, and bumped deps to fix CVEs ([#2796](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/2796), [#2810](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/2810), [#2812](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/2812), [#2816](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/2816), [#3073](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3073))
-
-- **Anthropic output limits fix** — Replaced hardcoded 16K `max_tokens` with per-model native output limits (128K for Opus 4.6, 64K for Sonnet 4.6), fixing "Response truncated" and thinking-budget exhaustion on direct Anthropic API ([#3426](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3426), [#3444](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3444))

-## 🏗️ Core Agent & Architecture
-
-### New Provider: Hugging Face
-- First-class Hugging Face Inference API integration with auth, setup wizard, and model picker ([#3419](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3419))
-- Curated model list mapping OpenRouter agentic defaults to HF equivalents — providers with 8+ curated models skip live `/models` probe for speed ([#3440](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3440))
-- Added glm-5-turbo to Z.AI provider model list ([#3095](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3095))
-
-### Provider & Model Improvements
-- `/model` command overhaul — extracted shared `switch_model()` pipeline for CLI and gateway, custom endpoint support, provider-aware routing ([#2795](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/2795), [#2799](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/2799))
-- Removed `/model` slash command from CLI and gateway in favor of `hermes model` subcommand ([#3080](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3080))
-- Preserve `custom` provider instead of silently remapping to `openrouter` ([#2792](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/2792))
-- Read root-level `provider` and `base_url` from config.yaml into model config ([#3112](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3112))
-- Align Nous Portal model slugs with OpenRouter naming ([#3253](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3253))
-- Fix Alibaba provider default endpoint and model list ([#3484](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3484))
-- Allow MiniMax users to override `/v1` → `/anthropic` auto-correction ([#3553](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3553))
-- Migrate OAuth token refresh to `platform.claude.com` with fallback ([#3246](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3246))
-
-### Agent Loop & Conversation
-- **Improved OpenAI model reliability** — `GPT_TOOL_USE_GUIDANCE` prevents GPT models from describing actions instead of calling tools + automatic budget warning stripping from history ([#3528](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3528))
-- **Surface lifecycle events** — All retry, fallback, and compression events now surface to the user as formatted messages ([#3153](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3153))
-- **Anthropic output limits** — Per-model native output limits instead of hardcoded 16K `max_tokens` ([#3426](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3426))
-- **Thinking-budget exhaustion detection** — Skip useless continuation retries when model uses all output tokens on reasoning ([#3444](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3444))

-# Hermes Agent v0.6.0 (v2026.3.30)
-
-**Release Date:** March 30, 2026
-
-> The multi-instance release — Profiles for running isolated agent instances, MCP server mode, Docker container, fallback provider chains, two new messaging platforms (Feishu/Lark and WeCom), Telegram webhook mode, Slack multi-workspace OAuth, 95 PRs and 16 resolved issues in 2 days.
-
----
-
-## ✨ Highlights
-
-- **Profiles — Multi-Instance Hermes** — Run multiple isolated Hermes instances from the same installation. Each profile gets its own config, memory, sessions, skills, and gateway service. Create with `hermes profile create`, switch with `hermes -p <name>`, export/import for sharing. Full token-lock isolation prevents two profiles from using the same bot credential. ([#3681](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3681))
-
-- **MCP Server Mode** — Expose Hermes conversations and sessions to any MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, etc.) via `hermes mcp serve`. Browse conversations, read messages, search across sessions, and manage attachments — all through the Model Context Protocol. Supports both stdio and Streamable HTTP transports. ([#3795](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3795))
-
-- **Docker Container** — Official Dockerfile for running Hermes Agent in a container. Supports both CLI and gateway modes with volume-mounted config. ([#3668](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3668), closes [#850](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/issues/850))
-
-- **Ordered Fallback Provider Chain** — Configure multiple inference providers with automatic failover. When your primary provider returns errors or is unreachable, Hermes automatically tries the next provider in the chain. Configure via `fallback_providers` in config.yaml. ([#3813](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3813), closes [#1734](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/issues/1734))
-
-- **Feishu/Lark Platform Support** — Full gateway adapter for Feishu (飞书) and Lark with event subscriptions, message cards, group chat, image/file attachments, and interactive card callbacks. ([#3799](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3799), [#3817](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3817), closes [#1788](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/issues/1788))
-
-- **WeCom (Enterprise WeChat) Platform Support** — New gateway adapter for WeCom (企业微信) with text/image/voice messages, group chats, and callback verification. ([#3847](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3847))
-
-- **Slack Multi-Workspace OAuth** — Connect a single Hermes gateway to multiple Slack workspaces via OAuth token file. Each workspace gets its own bot token, resolved dynamically per incoming event. ([#3903](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3903))
-
-- **Telegram Webhook Mode & Group Controls** — Run the Telegram adapter in webhook mode as an alternative to polling — faster response times and better for production deployments behind a reverse proxy. New group mention gating controls when the bot responds: always, only when @mentioned, or via regex triggers. ([#3880](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3880), [#3870](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3870))
-
-- **Exa Search Backend** — Add Exa as an alternative web search and content extraction backend alongside Firecrawl and DuckDuckGo. Set `EXA_API_KEY` and configure as preferred backend. ([#3648](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3648))
-
-- **Skills & Credentials on Remote Backends** — Mount skill directories and credential files into Modal and Docker containers, so remote terminal sessions have access to the same skills and secrets as local execution. ([#3890](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3890), [#3671](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3671), closes [#3665](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/issues/3665), [#3433](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/issues/3433))

-## 🏗️ Core Agent & Architecture
-
-### Provider & Model Support
-- **Ordered fallback provider chain** — automatic failover across multiple configured providers ([#3813](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3813))
-- **Fix api_mode on provider switch** — switching providers via `hermes model` now correctly clears stale `api_mode` instead of hardcoding `chat_completions`, fixing 404s for providers with Anthropic-compatible endpoints ([#3726](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3726), [#3857](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3857), closes [#3685](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/issues/3685))
-- **Stop silent OpenRouter fallback** — when no provider is configured, Hermes now raises a clear error instead of silently routing to OpenRouter ([#3807](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3807), [#3862](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3862))
-- **Gemini 3.1 preview models** — added to OpenRouter and Nous Portal catalogs ([#3803](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3803), closes [#3753](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/issues/3753))
-- **Gemini direct API context length** — full context length resolution for direct Google AI endpoints ([#3876](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3876))
-- **gpt-5.4-mini** added to Codex fallback catalog ([#3855](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3855))
-- **Curated model lists preferred** over live API probe when the probe returns fewer models ([#3856](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3856), [#3867](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3867))
-- **User-friendly 429 rate limit messages** with Retry-After countdown ([#3809](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3809))
-- **Auxiliary client placeholder key** for local servers without auth requirements ([#3842](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3842))
-- **INFO-level logging** for auxiliary provider resolution ([#3866](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3866))
-
-### Agent Loop & Conversation
-- **Subagent status reporting** — reports `completed` status when summary exists instead of generic failure ([#3829](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3829))
-- **Session log file updated during compression** — prevents stale file references after context compression ([#3835](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3835))
-- **Omit empty tools param** — sends no `tools` parameter when empty instead of `None`, fixing compatibility with strict providers ([#3820](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3820))
-
-### Profiles & Multi-Instance
-- **Profiles system** — `hermes profile create/list/switch/delete/export/import/rename`. Each profile gets isolated HERMES_HOME, gateway service, CLI wrapper. Token locks prevent credential collisions. Tab completion for profile names. ([#3681](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3681))
-- **Profile-aware display paths** — all user-facing `~/.hermes` paths replaced with `display_hermes_home()` to show the correct profile directory ([#3623](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3623))
-- **Lazy display_hermes_home imports** — prevents `ImportError` during `hermes update` when modules cache stale bytecode ([#3776](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3776))
-- **HERMES_HOME for protected paths** — `.env` write-deny path now respects HERMES_HOME instead of hardcoded `~/.hermes` ([#3840](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3840))

-# Hermes Agent — ACP (Agent Client Protocol) Setup Guide
-
-Hermes Agent supports the **Agent Client Protocol (ACP)**, allowing it to run as
-a coding agent inside your editor. ACP lets your IDE send tasks to Hermes, and
-Hermes responds with file edits, terminal commands, and explanations — all shown
-natively in the editor UI.
-
----
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-- Hermes Agent installed and configured (`hermes setup` completed)
-- An API key / provider set up in `~/.hermes/.env` or via `hermes login`
-- Python 3.11+
-
-Install the ACP extra:
-
-```bash
-pip install -e ".[acp]"
-```
-
----
-
-## VS Code Setup
-
-### 1. Install the ACP Client extension
-
-Open VS Code and install **ACP Client** from the marketplace:
-
-- Press `Ctrl+Shift+X` (or `Cmd+Shift+X` on macOS)
-- Search for **"ACP Client"**
-- Click **Install**
-
-Or install from the command line:
-
-```bash
-code --install-extension anysphere.acp-client
-```
-
-### 2. Configure settings.json
-
-Open your VS Code settings (`Ctrl+,` → click the `{}` icon for JSON) and add:
-
-```json
-{
-  "acpClient.agents": [
-    {
-      "name": "hermes-agent",
-      "registryDir": "/path/to/hermes-agent/acp_registry"
-    }
-  ]
-}
-```
-
-Replace `/path/to/hermes-agent` with the actual path to your Hermes Agent
-installation (e.g. `~/.hermes/hermes-agent`).
-
-Alternatively, if `hermes` is on your PATH, the ACP Client can discover it
-automatically via the registry directory.
-
-### 3. Restart VS Code
-
-After configuring, restart VS Code. You should see **Hermes Agent** appear in
-the ACP agent picker in the chat/agent panel.
-
----
-
-## Zed Setup
-
-Zed has built-in ACP support.
-
-### 1. Configure Zed settings
-
-Open Zed settings (`Cmd+,` on macOS or `Ctrl+,` on Linux) and add to your
-`settings.json`:
-
-```json
-{
-  "acp": {
-    "agents": [
-      {
-        "name": "hermes-agent",
-        "registry_dir": "/path/to/hermes-agent/acp_registry"
-      }
-    ]
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### 2. Restart Zed
-
-Hermes Agent will appear in the agent panel. Select it and start a conversation.
-
----
-
-## JetBrains Setup (IntelliJ, PyCharm, WebStorm, etc.)
-
-### 1. Install the ACP plugin
-
-- Open **Settings** → **Plugins** → **Marketplace**
-- Search for **"ACP"** or **"Agent Client Protocol"**
-- Install and restart the IDE
-
-### 2. Configure the agent
-
-- Open **Settings** → **Tools** → **ACP Agents**
-- Click **+** to add a new agent
-- Set the registry directory to your `acp_registry/` folder:
-  `/path/to/hermes-agent/acp_registry`
-- Click **OK**
-
-### 3. Use the agent
-
-Open the ACP panel (usually in the right sidebar) and select **Hermes Agent**.
-
----
-
-## What You Will See
-
-Once connected, your editor provides a native interface to Hermes Agent:
-
-### Chat Panel
-A conversational interface where you can describe tasks, ask questions, and
-give instructions. Hermes responds with explanations and actions.
-
-### File Diffs
-When Hermes edits files, you see standard diffs in the editor. You can:
-- **Accept** individual changes
-- **Reject** changes you don't want
-- **Review** the full diff before applying
-
-### Terminal Commands
-When Hermes needs to run shell commands (builds, tests, installs), the editor
-shows them in an integrated terminal. Depending on your settings:
-- Commands may run automatically
-- Or you may be prompted to **approve** each command
-
-### Approval Flow
-For potentially destructive operations, the editor will prompt you for
-approval before Hermes proceeds. This includes:
-- File deletions
-- Shell commands
-- Git operations
-
----
-
-## Configuration
-
-Hermes Agent under ACP uses the **same configuration** as the CLI:
-
-- **API keys / providers**: `~/.hermes/.env`
-- **Agent config**: `~/.hermes/config.yaml`
-- **Skills**: `~/.hermes/skills/`
-- **Sessions**: `~/.hermes/state.db`
-
-You can run `hermes setup` to configure providers, or edit `~/.hermes/.env`
-directly.
-
-### Changing the model
-
-Edit `~/.hermes/config.yaml`:
-
-```yaml
-model: openrouter/nous/hermes-3-llama-3.1-70b
-```
-
-Or set the `HERMES_MODEL` environment variable.
-
-### Toolsets
-
-ACP sessions use the curated `hermes-acp` toolset by default. It is designed for editor workflows and intentionally excludes things like messaging delivery, cronjob management, and audio-first UX features.
-
----
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Agent doesn't appear in the editor
-
-1. **Check the registry path** — make sure the `acp_registry/` directory path
-   in your editor settings is correct and contains `agent.json`.
-2. **Check `hermes` is on PATH** — run `which hermes` in a terminal. If not
-   found, you may need to activate your virtualenv or add it to PATH.
-3. **Restart the editor** after changing settings.
-
-### Agent starts but errors immediately
-
-1. Run `hermes doctor` to check your configuration.
-2. Check that you have a valid API key: `hermes status`
-3. Try running `hermes acp` directly in a terminal to see error output.
-
-### "Module not found" errors
-
-Make sure you installed the ACP extra:
-
-```bash
-pip install -e ".[acp]"
-```
-
-### Slow responses
-
-- ACP streams responses, so you should see incremental output. If the agent
-  appears stuck, check your network connection and API provider status.
-- Some providers have rate limits. Try switching to a different model/provider.
-
-### Permission denied for terminal commands
-
-If the editor blocks terminal commands, check your ACP Client extension
-settings for auto-approval or manual-approval preferences.
-
-### Logs
-
-Hermes logs are written to stderr when running in ACP mode. Check:
-- VS Code: **Output** panel → select **ACP Client** or **Hermes Agent**
-- Zed: **View** → **Toggle Terminal** and check the process output
-- JetBrains: **Event Log** or the ACP tool window
-
-You can also enable verbose logging:
-
-```bash
-HERMES_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG hermes acp
-```

-<!-- OVERVIEW -->
-<section id="overview">
-  <h2>Overview</h2>
-
-  <p>Two independent Honcho integrations have been built for two different agent runtimes: <strong>Hermes Agent</strong> (Python, baked into the runner) and <strong>openclaw-honcho</strong> (TypeScript plugin via hook/tool API). Both use the same Honcho peer paradigm — dual peer model, <code>session.context()</code>, <code>peer.chat()</code> — but they made different tradeoffs at every layer.</p>
-
-  <p>This document maps those tradeoffs and defines a porting spec: a set of Hermes-originated patterns, each stated as an integration-agnostic interface, that any Honcho integration can adopt regardless of runtime or language.</p>
-
-  <div class="callout">
-    <strong>Scope</strong> Both integrations work correctly today. This spec is about the delta — patterns in Hermes that are worth propagating and patterns in openclaw-honcho that Hermes should eventually adopt. The spec is additive, not prescriptive.

-<!-- ARCHITECTURE -->
-<section id="architecture">
-  <h2>Architecture comparison</h2>
-
-  <h3>Hermes: baked-in runner</h3>
-  <p>Honcho is initialised directly inside <code>AIAgent.__init__</code>. There is no plugin boundary. Session management, context injection, async prefetch, and CLI surface are all first-class concerns of the runner. Context is injected once per session (baked into <code>_cached_system_prompt</code>) and never re-fetched mid-session — this maximises prefix cache hits at the LLM provider.</p>

-  <div class="mermaid">
-%%{init: {'theme': 'dark', 'themeVariables': { 'primaryColor': '#1f3150', 'primaryTextColor': '#c9d1d9', 'primaryBorderColor': '#3d6ea5', 'lineColor': '#3d6ea5', 'secondaryColor': '#162030', 'tertiaryColor': '#11151c' }}}%%

-  </div>
-
-  <h3>openclaw-honcho: hook-based plugin</h3>
-  <p>The plugin registers hooks against OpenClaw's event bus. Context is fetched synchronously inside <code>before_prompt_build</code> on every turn. Message capture happens in <code>agent_end</code>. The multi-agent hierarchy is tracked via <code>subagent_spawned</code>. This model is correct but every turn pays a blocking Honcho round-trip before the LLM call can begin.</p>

-<!-- SPEC: ASYNC PREFETCH -->
-<section id="spec-async">
-  <h2>Spec: async prefetch</h2>
-
-  <h3>Problem</h3>
-  <p>Calling <code>session.context()</code> and <code>peer.chat()</code> synchronously before each LLM call adds 200–800ms of Honcho round-trip latency to every turn. Users experience this as the agent "thinking slowly."</p>
-
-  <h3>Pattern</h3>
-  <p>Fire both calls as non-blocking background work at the <strong>end</strong> of each turn. Store results in a per-session cache keyed by session ID. At the <strong>start</strong> of the next turn, pop from cache — the HTTP is already done. First turn is cold (empty cache); all subsequent turns are zero-latency on the response path.</p>

-
-  <h3>Implementation notes</h3>
-  <ul>
-    <li>Python: <code>threading.Thread(daemon=True)</code>. Write to <code>dict[session_id, result]</code> — GIL makes this safe for simple writes.</li>
-    <li>TypeScript: <code>Promise</code> stored in <code>Map&lt;string, Promise&lt;ContextResult&gt;&gt;</code>. Await at pop time. If not resolved yet, skip (return null) — do not block.</li>
-    <li>The pop is destructive: clears the cache entry after reading so stale data never accumulates.</li>
-    <li>Prefetch should also fire on first turn (even though it won't be consumed until turn 2) — this ensures turn 2 is never cold.</li>
-  </ul>
-
-  <h3>openclaw-honcho adoption</h3>
-  <p>Move <code>session.context()</code> from <code>before_prompt_build</code> to a post-<code>agent_end</code> background task. Store result in <code>state.contextCache</code>. In <code>before_prompt_build</code>, read from cache instead of calling Honcho. If cache is empty (turn 1), inject nothing — the prompt is still valid without Honcho context on the first turn.</p>

-<!-- SPEC: DYNAMIC REASONING LEVEL -->
-<section id="spec-reasoning">
-  <h2>Spec: dynamic reasoning level</h2>
-
-  <h3>Problem</h3>
-  <p>Honcho's dialectic endpoint supports reasoning levels from <code>minimal</code> to <code>max</code>. A fixed level per tool wastes budget on simple queries and under-serves complex ones.</p>
-
-  <h3>Pattern</h3>
-  <p>Select the reasoning level dynamically based on the user's message. Use the configured default as a floor. Bump by message length. Cap auto-selection at <code>high</code> — never select <code>max</code> automatically.</p>

-
-  <h3>Config key</h3>
-  <p>Add a <code>dialecticReasoningLevel</code> config field (string, default <code>"low"</code>). This sets the floor. Users can raise or lower it. The dynamic bump always applies on top.</p>
-
-  <h3>openclaw-honcho adoption</h3>
-  <p>Apply in <code>honcho_recall</code> and <code>honcho_analyze</code>: replace the fixed <code>reasoningLevel</code> with the dynamic selector. <code>honcho_recall</code> should use floor <code>"minimal"</code> and <code>honcho_analyze</code> floor <code>"medium"</code> — both still bump with message length.</p>

-<!-- SPEC: PER-PEER MEMORY MODES -->
-<section id="spec-modes">
-  <h2>Spec: per-peer memory modes</h2>
-
-  <h3>Problem</h3>
-  <p>Users want independent control over whether user context and agent context are written locally, to Honcho, or both. A single <code>memoryMode</code> shorthand is not granular enough.</p>
-
-  <h3>Pattern</h3>
-  <p>Three modes per peer: <code>hybrid</code> (write both local + Honcho), <code>honcho</code> (Honcho only, disable local files), <code>local</code> (local files only, skip Honcho sync for this peer). Two orthogonal axes: user peer and agent peer.</p>

-<!-- SPEC: AI PEER IDENTITY -->
-<section id="spec-identity">
-  <h2>Spec: AI peer identity formation</h2>
-
-  <h3>Problem</h3>
-  <p>Honcho builds the user's representation organically by observing what the user says. The same mechanism exists for the AI peer — but only if <code>observe_me=True</code> is set for the agent peer. Without it, the agent peer accumulates nothing and Honcho's AI-side model never forms.</p>
-
-  <p>Additionally, existing persona files (SOUL.md, IDENTITY.md) should seed the AI peer's Honcho representation at first activation, rather than waiting for it to emerge from scratch.</p>
-
-  <h3>Part A: observe_me=True for agent peer</h3>
-  <pre><code><span class="cm">// TypeScript — in session.addPeers() call</span>
-<span class="kw">await</span> session.addPeers([

-]);</code></pre>
-
-  <p>This is a one-line change but foundational. Without it, Honcho's AI peer representation stays empty regardless of what the agent says.</p>
-
-  <h3>Part B: seedAiIdentity()</h3>
-  <pre><code><span class="kw">async function</span> <span class="key">seedAiIdentity</span>(

-
-  <h3>Part C: migrate agent files at setup</h3>
-  <p>During <code>openclaw honcho setup</code>, upload agent-self files (SOUL.md, IDENTITY.md, AGENTS.md, BOOTSTRAP.md) to the agent peer using <code>seedAiIdentity()</code> instead of <code>session.uploadFile()</code>. This routes the content through Honcho's observation pipeline rather than the file store.</p>
-
-  <h3>Part D: AI peer name in identity</h3>
-  <p>When the agent has a configured name (non-default), inject it into the agent's self-identity prefix. In OpenClaw this means adding to the injected system prompt section:</p>
-  <pre><code><span class="cm">// In context hook return value</span>

-<section id="spec-sessions">
-  <h2>Spec: session naming strategies</h2>

-# honcho-integration-spec
-
-Comparison of Hermes Agent vs. openclaw-honcho — and a porting spec for bringing Hermes patterns into other Honcho integrations.
-
----
-
-## Overview
-
-Two independent Honcho integrations have been built for two different agent runtimes: **Hermes Agent** (Python, baked into the runner) and **openclaw-honcho** (TypeScript plugin via hook/tool API). Both use the same Honcho peer paradigm — dual peer model, `session.context()`, `peer.chat()` — but they made different tradeoffs at every layer.
-
-This document maps those tradeoffs and defines a porting spec: a set of Hermes-originated patterns, each stated as an integration-agnostic interface, that any Honcho integration can adopt regardless of runtime or language.
-
-> **Scope** Both integrations work correctly today. This spec is about the delta — patterns in Hermes that are worth propagating and patterns in openclaw-honcho that Hermes should eventually adopt. The spec is additive, not prescriptive.
-
----
-
-## Architecture comparison
-
-### Hermes: baked-in runner
-
-Honcho is initialised directly inside `AIAgent.__init__`. There is no plugin boundary. Session management, context injection, async prefetch, and CLI surface are all first-class concerns of the runner. Context is injected once per session (baked into `_cached_system_prompt`) and never re-fetched mid-session — this maximises prefix cache hits at the LLM provider.
-
-Turn flow:
-
-```
-user message
-  → _honcho_prefetch()       (reads cache — no HTTP)
-  → _build_system_prompt()   (first turn only, cached)
-  → LLM call
-  → response
-  → _honcho_fire_prefetch()  (daemon threads, turn end)
-       → prefetch_context() thread  ──┐
-       → prefetch_dialectic() thread ─┴→ _context_cache / _dialectic_cache
-```
-
-### openclaw-honcho: hook-based plugin
-
-The plugin registers hooks against OpenClaw's event bus. Context is fetched synchronously inside `before_prompt_build` on every turn. Message capture happens in `agent_end`. The multi-agent hierarchy is tracked via `subagent_spawned`. This model is correct but every turn pays a blocking Honcho round-trip before the LLM call can begin.
-
-Turn flow:
-
-```
-user message
-  → before_prompt_build (BLOCKING HTTP — every turn)
-       → session.context()
-  → system prompt assembled
-  → LLM call
-  → response
-  → agent_end hook
-       → session.addMessages()
-       → session.setMetadata()
-```
-
----
-
-## Diff table
-
-| Dimension | Hermes Agent | openclaw-honcho |
-|---|---|---|
-| **Context injection timing** | Once per session (cached). Zero HTTP on response path after turn 1. | Every turn, blocking. Fresh context per turn but adds latency. |
-| **Prefetch strategy** | Daemon threads fire at turn end; consumed next turn from cache. | None. Blocking call at prompt-build time. |
-| **Dialectic (peer.chat)** | Prefetched async; result injected into system prompt next turn. | On-demand via `honcho_recall` / `honcho_analyze` tools. |
-| **Reasoning level** | Dynamic: scales with message length. Floor = config default. Cap = "high". | Fixed per tool: recall=minimal, analyze=medium. |
-| **Memory modes** | `user_memory_mode` / `agent_memory_mode`: hybrid / honcho / local. | None. Always writes to Honcho. |
-| **Write frequency** | async (background queue), turn, session, N turns. | After every agent_end (no control). |
-| **AI peer identity** | `observe_me=True`, `seed_ai_identity()`, `get_ai_representation()`, SOUL.md → AI peer. | Agent files uploaded to agent peer at setup. No ongoing self-observation. |
-| **Context scope** | User peer + AI peer representation, both injected. | User peer (owner) representation + conversation summary. `peerPerspective` on context call. |
-| **Session naming** | per-directory / global / manual map / title-based. | Derived from platform session key. |
-| **Multi-agent** | Single-agent only. | Parent observer hierarchy via `subagent_spawned`. |
-| **Tool surface** | Single `query_user_context` tool (on-demand dialectic). | 6 tools: session, profile, search, context (fast) + recall, analyze (LLM). |
-| **Platform metadata** | Not stripped. | Explicitly stripped before Honcho storage. |
-| **Message dedup** | None. | `lastSavedIndex` in session metadata prevents re-sending. |
-| **CLI surface in prompt** | Management commands injected into system prompt. Agent knows its own CLI. | Not injected. |
-| **AI peer name in identity** | Replaces "Hermes Agent" in DEFAULT_AGENT_IDENTITY when configured. | Not implemented. |
-| **QMD / local file search** | Not implemented. | Passthrough tools when QMD backend configured. |
-| **Workspace metadata** | Not implemented. | `agentPeerMap` in workspace metadata tracks agent→peer ID. |

-## Patterns
-
-Six patterns from Hermes are worth adopting in any Honcho integration. Each is described as an integration-agnostic interface.
-
-**Hermes contributes:**
-- Async prefetch (zero-latency)
-- Dynamic reasoning level
-- Per-peer memory modes
-- AI peer identity formation
-- Session naming strategies
-- CLI surface injection
-
-**openclaw-honcho contributes back (Hermes should adopt):**
-- `lastSavedIndex` dedup
-- Platform metadata stripping
-- Multi-agent observer hierarchy
-- `peerPerspective` on `context()`
-- Tiered tool surface (fast/LLM)
-- Workspace `agentPeerMap`

-## Spec: async prefetch
-
-### Problem
-
-Calling `session.context()` and `peer.chat()` synchronously before each LLM call adds 200–800ms of Honcho round-trip latency to every turn.
-
-### Pattern
-
-Fire both calls as non-blocking background work at the **end** of each turn. Store results in a per-session cache keyed by session ID. At the **start** of the next turn, pop from cache — the HTTP is already done. First turn is cold (empty cache); all subsequent turns are zero-latency on the response path.
-
-### Interface contract
-
-```typescript
-interface AsyncPrefetch {
-  // Fire context + dialectic fetches at turn end. Non-blocking.
-  firePrefetch(sessionId: string, userMessage: string): void;
-
-  // Pop cached results at turn start. Returns empty if cache is cold.
-  popContextResult(sessionId: string): ContextResult | null;
-  popDialecticResult(sessionId: string): string | null;
-}
-
-type ContextResult = {
-  representation: string;
-  card: string[];
-  aiRepresentation?: string;  // AI peer context if enabled
-  summary?: string;           // conversation summary if fetched
-};
-```
-
-### Implementation notes
-
-- **Python:** `threading.Thread(daemon=True)`. Write to `dict[session_id, result]` — GIL makes this safe for simple writes.
-- **TypeScript:** `Promise` stored in `Map<string, Promise<ContextResult>>`. Await at pop time. If not resolved yet, return null — do not block.
-- The pop is destructive: clears the cache entry after reading so stale data never accumulates.
-- Prefetch should also fire on first turn (even though it won't be consumed until turn 2).
-
-### openclaw-honcho adoption
-
-Move `session.context()` from `before_prompt_build` to a post-`agent_end` background task. Store result in `state.contextCache`. In `before_prompt_build`, read from cache instead of calling Honcho. If cache is empty (turn 1), inject nothing — the prompt is still valid without Honcho context on the first turn.
-
----
-
-## Spec: dynamic reasoning level
-
-### Problem
-
-Honcho's dialectic endpoint supports reasoning levels from `minimal` to `max`. A fixed level per tool wastes budget on simple queries and under-serves complex ones.
-
-### Pattern
-
-Select the reasoning level dynamically based on the user's message. Use the configured default as a floor. Bump by message length. Cap auto-selection at `high` — never select `max` automatically.
-
-### Logic
-
-```
-< 120 chars  → default (typically "low")
-120–400 chars → one level above default (cap at "high")
-> 400 chars  → two levels above default (cap at "high")
-```
-
-### Config key
-
-Add `dialecticReasoningLevel` (string, default `"low"`). This sets the floor. The dynamic bump always applies on top.
-
-### openclaw-honcho adoption
-
-Apply in `honcho_recall` and `honcho_analyze`: replace fixed `reasoningLevel` with the dynamic selector. `honcho_recall` uses floor `"minimal"`, `honcho_analyze` uses floor `"medium"` — both still bump with message length.
-
----
-
-## Spec: per-peer memory modes
-
-### Problem
-
-Users want independent control over whether user context and agent context are written locally, to Honcho, or both.
-
-### Modes
-
-| Mode | Effect |
-|---|---|
-| `hybrid` | Write to both local files and Honcho (default) |
-| `honcho` | Honcho only — disable corresponding local file writes |
-| `local` | Local files only — skip Honcho sync for this peer |
-
-### Config schema
-
-```json
-{
-  "memoryMode": "hybrid",
-  "userMemoryMode": "honcho",
-  "agentMemoryMode": "hybrid"
-}
-```
-
-Resolution order: per-peer field wins → shorthand `memoryMode` → default `"hybrid"`.
-
-### Effect on Honcho sync
-
-- `userMemoryMode=local`: skip adding user peer messages to Honcho
-- `agentMemoryMode=local`: skip adding assistant peer messages to Honcho
-- Both local: skip `session.addMessages()` entirely
-- `userMemoryMode=honcho`: disable local USER.md writes
-- `agentMemoryMode=honcho`: disable local MEMORY.md / SOUL.md writes
-
----
-
-## Spec: AI peer identity formation
-
-### Problem
-
-Honcho builds the user's representation organically by observing what the user says. The same mechanism exists for the AI peer — but only if `observe_me=True` is set for the agent peer. Without it, the agent peer accumulates nothing.
-
-Additionally, existing persona files (SOUL.md, IDENTITY.md) should seed the AI peer's Honcho representation at first activation.
-
-### Part A: observe_me=True for agent peer
-
-```typescript
-await session.addPeers([
-  [ownerPeer.id, { observeMe: true,  observeOthers: false }],
-  [agentPeer.id, { observeMe: true,  observeOthers: true  }], // was false
-]);
-```
-
-One-line change. Foundational. Without it, the AI peer representation stays empty regardless of what the agent says.
-
-### Part B: seedAiIdentity()
-
-```typescript
-async function seedAiIdentity(
-  agentPeer: Peer,
-  content: string,
-  source: string
-): Promise<boolean> {
-  const wrapped = [
-    `<ai_identity_seed>`,
-    `<source>${source}</source>`,
-    ``,
-    content.trim(),
-    `</ai_identity_seed>`,
-  ].join("\n");
-
-  await agentPeer.addMessage("assistant", wrapped);
-  return true;
-}
-```
-
-### Part C: migrate agent files at setup
-
-During `honcho setup`, upload agent-self files (SOUL.md, IDENTITY.md, AGENTS.md) to the agent peer via `seedAiIdentity()` instead of `session.uploadFile()`. This routes content through Honcho's observation pipeline.
-
-### Part D: AI peer name in identity
-
-When the agent has a configured name, prepend it to the injected system prompt:
-
-```typescript
-const namePrefix = agentName ? `You are ${agentName}.\n\n` : "";
-return { systemPrompt: namePrefix + "## User Memory Context\n\n" + sections };
-```
-
-### CLI surface
-
-```
-honcho identity <file>    # seed from file
-honcho identity --show    # show current AI peer representation
-```
-
----
-
-## Spec: session naming strategies
-
-### Problem
-
-A single global session means every project shares the same Honcho context. Per-directory sessions provide isolation without requiring users to name sessions manually.
-
-### Strategies
-
-| Strategy | Session key | When to use |
-|---|---|---|
-| `per-directory` | basename of CWD | Default. Each project gets its own session. |
-| `global` | fixed string `"global"` | Single cross-project session. |
-| manual map | user-configured per path | `sessions` config map overrides directory basename. |
-| title-based | sanitized session title | When agent supports named sessions set mid-conversation. |
-
-### Config schema
-
-```json
-{
-  "sessionStrategy": "per-directory",
-  "sessionPeerPrefix": false,
-  "sessions": {
-    "/home/user/projects/foo": "foo-project"
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### CLI surface
-
-```
-honcho sessions              # list all mappings
-honcho map <name>            # map cwd to session name
-honcho map                   # no-arg = list mappings
-```
-
-Resolution order: manual map → session title → directory basename → platform key.
-
----
-
-## Spec: CLI surface injection
-
-### Problem
-
-When a user asks "how do I change my memory settings?" the agent either hallucinates or says it doesn't know. The agent should know its own management interface.
-
-### Pattern
-
-When Honcho is active, append a compact command reference to the system prompt. Keep it under 300 chars.
-
-```
-# Honcho memory integration
-Active. Session: {sessionKey}. Mode: {mode}.
-Management commands:
-  honcho status                    — show config + connection
-  honcho mode [hybrid|honcho|local] — show or set memory mode
-  honcho sessions                  — list session mappings
-  honcho map <name>                — map directory to session
-  honcho identity [file] [--show]  — seed or show AI identity
-  honcho setup                     — full interactive wizard
-```

-## openclaw-honcho checklist
-
-Ordered by impact:
-
-- [ ] **Async prefetch** — move `session.context()` out of `before_prompt_build` into post-`agent_end` background Promise
-- [ ] **observe_me=True for agent peer** — one-line change in `session.addPeers()`
-- [ ] **Dynamic reasoning level** — add helper; apply in `honcho_recall` and `honcho_analyze`; add `dialecticReasoningLevel` to config
-- [ ] **Per-peer memory modes** — add `userMemoryMode` / `agentMemoryMode` to config; gate Honcho sync and local writes
-- [ ] **seedAiIdentity()** — add helper; use during setup migration for SOUL.md / IDENTITY.md
-- [ ] **Session naming strategies** — add `sessionStrategy`, `sessions` map, `sessionPeerPrefix`
-- [ ] **CLI surface injection** — append command reference to `before_prompt_build` return value
-- [ ] **honcho identity subcommand** — seed from file or `--show` current representation
-- [ ] **AI peer name injection** — if `aiPeer` name configured, prepend to injected system prompt
-- [ ] **honcho mode / sessions / map** — CLI parity with Hermes
-
-Already done in openclaw-honcho (do not re-implement): `lastSavedIndex` dedup, platform metadata stripping, multi-agent parent observer, `peerPerspective` on `context()`, tiered tool surface, workspace `agentPeerMap`, QMD passthrough, self-hosted Honcho.
-
----
-
-## nanobot-honcho checklist
-
-Greenfield integration. Start from openclaw-honcho's architecture and apply all Hermes patterns from day one.
-
-### Phase 1 — core correctness
-
-- [ ] Dual peer model (owner + agent peer), both with `observe_me=True`
-- [ ] Message capture at turn end with `lastSavedIndex` dedup
-- [ ] Platform metadata stripping before Honcho storage
-- [ ] Async prefetch from day one — do not implement blocking context injection
-- [ ] Legacy file migration at first activation (USER.md → owner peer, SOUL.md → `seedAiIdentity()`)
-
-### Phase 2 — configuration
-
-- [ ] Config schema: `apiKey`, `workspaceId`, `baseUrl`, `memoryMode`, `userMemoryMode`, `agentMemoryMode`, `dialecticReasoningLevel`, `sessionStrategy`, `sessions`
-- [ ] Per-peer memory mode gating
-- [ ] Dynamic reasoning level
-- [ ] Session naming strategies
-
-### Phase 3 — tools and CLI
-
-- [ ] Tool surface: `honcho_profile`, `honcho_recall`, `honcho_analyze`, `honcho_search`, `honcho_context`
-- [ ] CLI: `setup`, `status`, `sessions`, `map`, `mode`, `identity`
-- [ ] CLI surface injection into system prompt
-- [ ] AI peer name wired into agent identity

-# Migrating from OpenClaw to Hermes Agent
-
-This guide covers how to import your OpenClaw settings, memories, skills, and API keys into Hermes Agent.
-
-## Three Ways to Migrate
-
-### 1. Automatic (during first-time setup)
-
-When you run `hermes setup` for the first time and Hermes detects `~/.openclaw`, it automatically offers to import your OpenClaw data before configuration begins. Just accept the prompt and everything is handled for you.
-
-### 2. CLI Command (quick, scriptable)
-
-```bash
-hermes claw migrate                      # Full migration with confirmation prompt
-hermes claw migrate --dry-run            # Preview what would happen
-hermes claw migrate --preset user-data   # Migrate without API keys/secrets
-hermes claw migrate --yes                # Skip confirmation prompt
-```
-
-**All options:**
-
-| Flag | Description |
-|------|-------------|
-| `--source PATH` | Path to OpenClaw directory (default: `~/.openclaw`) |
-| `--dry-run` | Preview only — no files are modified |
-| `--preset {user-data,full}` | Migration preset (default: `full`). `user-data` excludes secrets |
-| `--overwrite` | Overwrite existing files (default: skip conflicts) |
-| `--migrate-secrets` | Include allowlisted secrets (auto-enabled with `full` preset) |
-| `--workspace-target PATH` | Copy workspace instructions (AGENTS.md) to this absolute path |
-| `--skill-conflict {skip,overwrite,rename}` | How to handle skill name conflicts (default: `skip`) |
-| `--yes`, `-y` | Skip confirmation prompts |
-
-### 3. Agent-Guided (interactive, with previews)
-
-Ask the agent to run the migration for you:
-
-```
-> Migrate my OpenClaw setup to Hermes
-```
-
-The agent will use the `openclaw-migration` skill to:
-1. Run a dry-run first to preview changes
-2. Ask about conflict resolution (SOUL.md, skills, etc.)
-3. Let you choose between `user-data` and `full` presets
-4. Execute the migration with your choices
-5. Print a detailed summary of what was migrated
-
-## What Gets Migrated
-
-### `user-data` preset
-| Item | Source | Destination |
-|------|--------|-------------|
-| SOUL.md | `~/.openclaw/workspace/SOUL.md` | `~/.hermes/SOUL.md` |
-| Memory entries | `~/.openclaw/workspace/MEMORY.md` | `~/.hermes/memories/MEMORY.md` |
-| User profile | `~/.openclaw/workspace/USER.md` | `~/.hermes/memories/USER.md` |
-| Skills | `~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/` | `~/.hermes/skills/openclaw-imports/` |
-| Command allowlist | `~/.openclaw/workspace/exec_approval_patterns.yaml` | Merged into `~/.hermes/config.yaml` |
-| Messaging settings | `~/.openclaw/config.yaml` (TELEGRAM_ALLOWED_USERS, MESSAGING_CWD) | `~/.hermes/.env` |
-| TTS assets | `~/.openclaw/workspace/tts/` | `~/.hermes/tts/` |
-
-### `full` preset (adds to `user-data`)
-| Item | Source | Destination |
-|------|--------|-------------|
-| Telegram bot token | `~/.openclaw/config.yaml` | `~/.hermes/.env` |
-| OpenRouter API key | `~/.openclaw/.env` or config | `~/.hermes/.env` |
-| OpenAI API key | `~/.openclaw/.env` or config | `~/.hermes/.env` |
-| Anthropic API key | `~/.openclaw/.env` or config | `~/.hermes/.env` |
-| ElevenLabs API key | `~/.openclaw/.env` or config | `~/.hermes/.env` |
-
-Only these 6 allowlisted secrets are ever imported. Other credentials are skipped and reported.
-
-## Conflict Handling
-
-By default, the migration **will not overwrite** existing Hermes data:
-
-- **SOUL.md** — skipped if one already exists in `~/.hermes/`
-- **Memory entries** — skipped if memories already exist (to avoid duplicates)
-- **Skills** — skipped if a skill with the same name already exists
-- **API keys** — skipped if the key is already set in `~/.hermes/.env`
-
-To overwrite conflicts, use `--overwrite`. The migration creates backups before overwriting.
-
-For skills, you can also use `--skill-conflict rename` to import conflicting skills under a new name (e.g., `skill-name-imported`).
-
-## Migration Report
-
-Every migration (including dry runs) produces a report showing:
-- **Migrated items** — what was successfully imported
-- **Conflicts** — items skipped because they already exist
-- **Skipped items** — items not found in the source
-- **Errors** — items that failed to import
-
-For execute runs, the full report is saved to `~/.hermes/migration/openclaw/<timestamp>/`.
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### "OpenClaw directory not found"
-The migration looks for `~/.openclaw` by default. If your OpenClaw is installed elsewhere, use `--source`:
-```bash
-hermes claw migrate --source /path/to/.openclaw
-```
-
-### "Migration script not found"
-The migration script ships with Hermes Agent. If you installed via pip (not git clone), the `optional-skills/` directory may not be present. Install the skill from the Skills Hub:
-```bash
-hermes skills install openclaw-migration
-```
-
-### Memory overflow
-If your OpenClaw MEMORY.md or USER.md exceeds Hermes' character limits, excess entries are exported to an overflow file in the migration report directory. You can manually review and add the most important ones.

-# Pricing Accuracy Architecture
-
-Date: 2026-03-16
-
-## Goal
-
-Hermes should only show dollar costs when they are backed by an official source for the user's actual billing path.
-
-This design replaces the current static, heuristic pricing flow in:
-
-- `run_agent.py`
-- `agent/usage_pricing.py`
-- `agent/insights.py`
-- `cli.py`
-
-with a provider-aware pricing system that:
-
-- handles cache billing correctly
-- distinguishes `actual` vs `estimated` vs `included` vs `unknown`
-- reconciles post-hoc costs when providers expose authoritative billing data
-- supports direct providers, OpenRouter, subscriptions, enterprise pricing, and custom endpoints
-
-## Problems In The Current Design
-
-Current Hermes behavior has four structural issues:
-
-1. It stores only `prompt_tokens` and `completion_tokens`, which is insufficient for providers that bill cache reads and cache writes separately.
-2. It uses a static model price table and fuzzy heuristics, which can drift from current official pricing.
-3. It assumes public API list pricing matches the user's real billing path.
-4. It has no distinction between live estimates and reconciled billed cost.
-
-## Design Principles
-
-1. Normalize usage before pricing.
-2. Never fold cached tokens into plain input cost.
-3. Track certainty explicitly.
-4. Treat the billing path as part of the model identity.
-5. Prefer official machine-readable sources over scraped docs.
-6. Use post-hoc provider cost APIs when available.
-7. Show `n/a` rather than inventing precision.
-
-## High-Level Architecture
-
-The new system has four layers:
-
-1. `usage_normalization`
-   Converts raw provider usage into a canonical usage record.
-2. `pricing_source_resolution`
-   Determines the billing path, source of truth, and applicable pricing source.
-3. `cost_estimation_and_reconciliation`
-   Produces an immediate estimate when possible, then replaces or annotates it with actual billed cost later.
-4. `presentation`
-   `/usage`, `/insights`, and the status bar display cost with certainty metadata.
-
-## Canonical Usage Record
-
-Add a canonical usage model that every provider path maps into before any pricing math happens.
-
-Suggested structure:
-
-```python
-@dataclass
-class CanonicalUsage:
-    provider: str
-    billing_provider: str
-    model: str
-    billing_route: str
-
-    input_tokens: int = 0
-    output_tokens: int = 0
-    cache_read_tokens: int = 0
-    cache_write_tokens: int = 0
-    reasoning_tokens: int = 0
-    request_count: int = 1
-
-    raw_usage: dict[str, Any] | None = None
-    raw_usage_fields: dict[str, str] | None = None
-    computed_fields: set[str] | None = None
-
-    provider_request_id: str | None = None
-    provider_generation_id: str | None = None
-    provider_response_id: str | None = None
-```
-
-Rules:
-
-- `input_tokens` means non-cached input only.
-- `cache_read_tokens` and `cache_write_tokens` are never merged into `input_tokens`.
-- `output_tokens` excludes cache metrics.
-- `reasoning_tokens` is telemetry unless a provider officially bills it separately.
-
-This is the same normalization pattern used by `opencode`, extended with provenance and reconciliation ids.
-
-## Provider Normalization Rules
-
-### OpenAI Direct
-
-Source usage fields:
-
-- `prompt_tokens`
-- `completion_tokens`
-- `prompt_tokens_details.cached_tokens`
-
-Normalization:
-
-- `cache_read_tokens = cached_tokens`
-- `input_tokens = prompt_tokens - cached_tokens`
-- `cache_write_tokens = 0` unless OpenAI exposes it in the relevant route
-- `output_tokens = completion_tokens`
-
-### Anthropic Direct
-
-Source usage fields:
-
-- `input_tokens`
-- `output_tokens`
-- `cache_read_input_tokens`
-- `cache_creation_input_tokens`
-
-Normalization:
-
-- `input_tokens = input_tokens`
-- `output_tokens = output_tokens`
-- `cache_read_tokens = cache_read_input_tokens`
-- `cache_write_tokens = cache_creation_input_tokens`
-
-### OpenRouter
-
-Estimate-time usage normalization should use the response usage payload with the same rules as the underlying provider when possible.
-
-Reconciliation-time records should also store:
-
-- OpenRouter generation id
-- native token fields when available
-- `total_cost`
-- `cache_discount`
-- `upstream_inference_cost`
-- `is_byok`
-
-### Gemini / Vertex
-
-Use official Gemini or Vertex usage fields where available.
-
-If cached content tokens are exposed:
-
-- map them to `cache_read_tokens`
-
-If a route exposes no cache creation metric:
-
-- store `cache_write_tokens = 0`
-- preserve the raw usage payload for later extension
-
-### DeepSeek And Other Direct Providers
-
-Normalize only the fields that are officially exposed.
-
-If a provider does not expose cache buckets:
-
-- do not infer them unless the provider explicitly documents how to derive them
-
-### Subscription / Included-Cost Routes
-
-These still use the canonical usage model.
-
-Tokens are tracked normally. Cost depends on billing mode, not on whether usage exists.
-
-## Billing Route Model
-
-Hermes must stop keying pricing solely by `model`.
-
-Introduce a billing route descriptor:
-
-```python
-@dataclass
-class BillingRoute:
-    provider: str
-    base_url: str | None
-    model: str
-    billing_mode: str
-    organization_hint: str | None = None
-```
-
-`billing_mode` values:
-
-- `official_cost_api`
-- `official_generation_api`
-- `official_models_api`
-- `official_docs_snapshot`
-- `subscription_included`
-- `user_override`
-- `custom_contract`
-- `unknown`
-
-Examples:
-
-- OpenAI direct API with Costs API access: `official_cost_api`
-- Anthropic direct API with Usage & Cost API access: `official_cost_api`
-- OpenRouter request before reconciliation: `official_models_api`
-- OpenRouter request after generation lookup: `official_generation_api`
-- GitHub Copilot style subscription route: `subscription_included`
-- local OpenAI-compatible server: `unknown`
-- enterprise contract with configured rates: `custom_contract`
-
-## Cost Status Model
-
-Every displayed cost should have:
-
-```python
-@dataclass
-class CostResult:
-    amount_usd: Decimal | None
-    status: Literal["actual", "estimated", "included", "unknown"]
-    source: Literal[
-        "provider_cost_api",
-        "provider_generation_api",
-        "provider_models_api",
-        "official_docs_snapshot",
-        "user_override",
-        "custom_contract",
-        "none",
-    ]
-    label: str
-    fetched_at: datetime | None
-    pricing_version: str | None
-    notes: list[str]
-```
-
-Presentation rules:
-
-- `actual`: show dollar amount as final
-- `estimated`: show dollar amount with estimate labeling
-- `included`: show `included` or `$0.00 (included)` depending on UX choice
-- `unknown`: show `n/a`
-
-## Official Source Hierarchy
-
-Resolve cost using this order:
-
-1. Request-level or account-level official billed cost
-2. Official machine-readable model pricing
-3. Official docs snapshot
-4. User override or custom contract
-5. Unknown
-
-The system must never skip to a lower level if a higher-confidence source exists for the current billing route.
-
-## Provider-Specific Truth Rules
-
-### OpenAI Direct
-
-Preferred truth:
-
-1. Costs API for reconciled spend
-2. Official pricing page for live estimate
-
-### Anthropic Direct
-
-Preferred truth:
-
-1. Usage & Cost API for reconciled spend
-2. Official pricing docs for live estimate
-
-### OpenRouter
-
-Preferred truth:
-
-1. `GET /api/v1/generation` for reconciled `total_cost`
-2. `GET /api/v1/models` pricing for live estimate
-
-Do not use underlying provider public pricing as the source of truth for OpenRouter billing.
-
-### Gemini / Vertex
-
-Preferred truth:
-
-1. official billing export or billing API for reconciled spend when available for the route
-2. official pricing docs for estimate
-
-### DeepSeek
-
-Preferred truth:
-
-1. official machine-readable cost source if available in the future
-2. official pricing docs snapshot today
-
-### Subscription-Included Routes
-
-Preferred truth:
-
-1. explicit route config marking the model as included in subscription
-
-These should display `included`, not an API list-price estimate.
-
-### Custom Endpoint / Local Model
-
-Preferred truth:
-
-1. user override
-2. custom contract config
-3. unknown
-
-These should default to `unknown`.
-
-## Pricing Catalog
-
-Replace the current `MODEL_PRICING` dict with a richer pricing catalog.
-
-Suggested record:
-
-```python
-@dataclass
-class PricingEntry:
-    provider: str
-    route_pattern: str
-    model_pattern: str
-
-    input_cost_per_million: Decimal | None = None
-    output_cost_per_million: Decimal | None = None
-    cache_read_cost_per_million: Decimal | None = None
-    cache_write_cost_per_million: Decimal | None = None
-    request_cost: Decimal | None = None
-    image_cost: Decimal | None = None
-
-    source: str = "official_docs_snapshot"
-    source_url: str | None = None
-    fetched_at: datetime | None = None
-    pricing_version: str | None = None
-```
-
-The catalog should be route-aware:
-
-- `openai:gpt-5`
-- `anthropic:claude-opus-4-6`
-- `openrouter:anthropic/claude-opus-4.6`
-- `copilot:gpt-4o`
-
-This avoids conflating direct-provider billing with aggregator billing.
-
-## Pricing Sync Architecture
-
-Introduce a pricing sync subsystem instead of manually maintaining a single hardcoded table.
-
-Suggested modules:
-
-- `agent/pricing/catalog.py`

-- `agent/pricing/types.py`
-
-### Sync Sources
-
-- OpenRouter models API
-- official provider docs snapshots where no API exists
-- user overrides from config
-
-### Sync Output
-
-Cache pricing entries locally with:
-
-- source URL
-- fetch timestamp
-- version/hash
-- confidence/source type
-
-### Sync Frequency
-
-- startup warm cache
-- background refresh every 6 to 24 hours depending on source
-- manual `hermes pricing sync`
-
-## Reconciliation Architecture
-
-Live requests may produce only an estimate initially. Hermes should reconcile them later when a provider exposes actual billed cost.
-
-Suggested flow:
-
-1. Agent call completes.
-2. Hermes stores canonical usage plus reconciliation ids.
-3. Hermes computes an immediate estimate if a pricing source exists.
-4. A reconciliation worker fetches actual cost when supported.
-5. Session and message records are updated with `actual` cost.
-
-This can run:
-
-- inline for cheap lookups
-- asynchronously for delayed provider accounting
-
-## Persistence Changes
-
-Session storage should stop storing only aggregate prompt/completion totals.
-
-Add fields for both usage and cost certainty:
-
-- `input_tokens`
-- `output_tokens`
-- `cache_read_tokens`
-- `cache_write_tokens`
-- `reasoning_tokens`
-- `estimated_cost_usd`
-- `actual_cost_usd`
-- `cost_status`
-- `cost_source`
-- `pricing_version`
-- `billing_provider`
-- `billing_mode`
-
-If schema expansion is too large for one PR, add a new pricing events table:
-
-```text
-session_cost_events
-  id
-  session_id
-  request_id
-  provider
-  model
-  billing_mode
-  input_tokens
-  output_tokens
-  cache_read_tokens
-  cache_write_tokens
-  estimated_cost_usd
-  actual_cost_usd
-  cost_status
-  cost_source
-  pricing_version
-  created_at
-  updated_at
-```
-
-## Hermes Touchpoints
-
-### `run_agent.py`
-
-Current responsibility:
-
-- parse raw provider usage
-- update session token counters
-
-New responsibility:
-
-- build `CanonicalUsage`
-- update canonical counters
-- store reconciliation ids
-- emit usage event to pricing subsystem
-
-### `agent/usage_pricing.py`
-
-Current responsibility:
-
-- static lookup table
-- direct cost arithmetic
-
-New responsibility:
-
-- move or replace with pricing catalog facade
-- no fuzzy model-family heuristics
-- no direct pricing without billing-route context
-
-### `cli.py`
-
-Current responsibility:
-
-- compute session cost directly from prompt/completion totals
-
-New responsibility:
-
-- display `CostResult`
-- show status badges:
-  - `actual`
-  - `estimated`
-  - `included`
-  - `n/a`
-
-### `agent/insights.py`
-
-Current responsibility:
-
-- recompute historical estimates from static pricing
-
-New responsibility:
-
-- aggregate stored pricing events
-- prefer actual cost over estimate
-- surface estimates only when reconciliation is unavailable
-
-## UX Rules
-
-### Status Bar
-
-Show one of:
-
-- `$1.42`
-- `~$1.42`
-- `included`
-- `cost n/a`
-
-Where:
-
-- `$1.42` means `actual`
-- `~$1.42` means `estimated`
-- `included` means subscription-backed or explicitly zero-cost route
-- `cost n/a` means unknown
-
-### `/usage`
-
-Show:
-
-- token buckets
-- estimated cost
-- actual cost if available
-- cost status
-- pricing source
-
-### `/insights`
-
-Aggregate:
-
-- actual cost totals
-- estimated-only totals
-- unknown-cost sessions count
-- included-cost sessions count
-
-## Config And Overrides
-
-Add user-configurable pricing overrides in config:
-
-```yaml
-pricing:
-  mode: hybrid
-  sync_on_startup: true
-  sync_interval_hours: 12
-  overrides:
-    - provider: openrouter
-      model: anthropic/claude-opus-4.6
-      billing_mode: custom_contract
-      input_cost_per_million: 4.25
-      output_cost_per_million: 22.0
-      cache_read_cost_per_million: 0.5
-      cache_write_cost_per_million: 6.0
-  included_routes:
-    - provider: copilot
-      model: "*"
-    - provider: codex-subscription
-      model: "*"
-```
-
-Overrides must win over catalog defaults for the matching billing route.
-
-## Rollout Plan
-
-### Phase 1
-
-- add canonical usage model
-- split cache token buckets in `run_agent.py`
-- stop pricing cache-inflated prompt totals
-- preserve current UI with improved backend math
-
-### Phase 2
-
-- add route-aware pricing catalog
-- integrate OpenRouter models API sync
-- add `estimated` vs `included` vs `unknown`
-
-### Phase 3
-
-- add reconciliation for OpenRouter generation cost
-- add actual cost persistence
-- update `/insights` to prefer actual cost
-
-### Phase 4
-
-- add direct OpenAI and Anthropic reconciliation paths
-- add user overrides and contract pricing
-- add pricing sync CLI command
-
-## Testing Strategy
-
-Add tests for:
-
-- OpenAI cached token subtraction
-- Anthropic cache read/write separation
-- OpenRouter estimated vs actual reconciliation
-- subscription-backed models showing `included`
-- custom endpoints showing `n/a`
-- override precedence
-- stale catalog fallback behavior
-
-Current tests that assume heuristic pricing should be replaced with route-aware expectations.
-
-## Non-Goals
-
-- exact enterprise billing reconstruction without an official source or user override
-- backfilling perfect historical cost for old sessions that lack cache bucket data
-- scraping arbitrary provider web pages at request time
-
-## Recommendation
-
-Do not expand the existing `MODEL_PRICING` dict.
-
-That path cannot satisfy the product requirement. Hermes should instead migrate to:
-
-- canonical usage normalization
-- route-aware pricing sources
-- estimate-then-reconcile cost lifecycle
-- explicit certainty states in the UI
-
-This is the minimum architecture that makes the statement "Hermes pricing is backed by official sources where possible, and otherwise clearly labeled" defensible.

+**Problem**: Some hermes-agent tools use `asyncio.run()` internally (e.g., mini-swe-agent's Modal backend via SWE-ReX). This crashes when called from inside Atropos's event loop because `asyncio.run()` cannot be nested.
 
-**Solution**: `ModalEnvironment` uses a dedicated `_AsyncWorker` background thread with its own event loop. The calling code sees a sync interface, but internally all async Modal SDK calls happen on the worker thread so they don't conflict with Atropos's loop. This is built directly into `tools/environments/modal.py` — no monkey-patching required.
+**Solution**: `patches.py` monkey-patches `SwerexModalEnvironment` to use a dedicated background thread (`_AsyncWorker`) with its own event loop. The calling code sees the same sync interface, but internally the async work happens on a separate thread that doesn't conflict with Atropos's loop.
 
-`patches.py` is now a no-op (kept for backward compatibility with imports).
+What gets patched:
+- `SwerexModalEnvironment.__init__` -- creates Modal deployment on a background thread
+- `SwerexModalEnvironment.execute` -- runs commands on the same background thread
+- `SwerexModalEnvironment.stop` -- stops deployment on the background thread
+
+The patches are:
+- **Idempotent** -- calling `apply_patches()` multiple times is safe
+- **Transparent** -- same interface and behavior, only the internal async execution changes
+- **Universal** -- works identically in normal CLI use (no running event loop)
+
+Applied automatically at import time by `hermes_base_env.py`.

 Monkey patches for making hermes-agent tools work inside async frameworks (Atropos).
 
 Problem:
-    Some tools use asyncio.run() internally (e.g., Modal backend via SWE-ReX,
+    Some tools use asyncio.run() internally (e.g., mini-swe-agent's Modal backend,
     web_extract). This crashes when called from inside Atropos's event loop because
     asyncio.run() can't be nested.
 
 Solution:
-    The Modal environment (tools/environments/modal.py) now uses a dedicated
-    _AsyncWorker thread internally, making it safe for both CLI and Atropos use.
-    No monkey-patching is required.
+    Replace the problematic methods with versions that use a dedicated background
+    thread with its own event loop. The calling code sees the same sync interface --
+    call a function, get a result -- but internally the async work happens on a
+    separate thread that doesn't conflict with Atropos's loop.
 
-    This module is kept for backward compatibility — apply_patches() is now a no-op.
+    These patches are safe for normal CLI use too: when there's no running event
+    loop, the behavior is identical (the background thread approach works regardless).
+
+What gets patched:
+    - SwerexModalEnvironment.__init__ -- creates Modal deployment on a background thread
+    - SwerexModalEnvironment.execute -- runs commands on the same background thread
+    - SwerexModalEnvironment.stop -- stops deployment on the background thread
 
 Usage:
     Call apply_patches() once at import time (done automatically by hermes_base_env.py).
-    This is idempotent — calling it multiple times is safe.
