feat: add ACP (Agent Client Protocol) server for editor integration

Adds full ACP support enabling hermes-agent to work as a coding agent
inside VS Code (via vscode-acp extension), Zed, JetBrains IDEs, and
any ACP-compatible editor.

## New module: acp_adapter/

- server.py: HermesACPAgent implementing all 15 Agent protocol methods
  (initialize, authenticate, new/load/list/fork/resume session, prompt,
  cancel, set mode/model/config, on_connect)
- session.py: Thread-safe SessionManager with per-session AIAgent lifecycle
- events.py: Callback factories translating hermes callbacks to ACP
  session_update notifications (tool_call, agent_thought, agent_message)
- tools.py: Tool kind mapping (20+ tools → read/edit/execute/search/fetch/think)
  and content builders (diffs for file edits, terminal output, text previews)
- permissions.py: Bridges hermes approval_callback to ACP requestPermission
  RPC for dangerous command approval dialogs in the editor
- auth.py: Provider credential verification
- entry.py: CLI entry point with .env loading and stderr logging

## Integration points

- run_agent.py: ACP tool bridge hook in _execute_tool_calls() for
  delegating file/terminal operations to the editor
- hermes_cli/main.py: 'hermes acp' subcommand
- pyproject.toml: [acp] optional dependency, hermes-acp entry point,
  included in [all] extras (auto-installed via install.sh)

## Supporting files

- acp_registry/agent.json: ACP Registry manifest
- acp_registry/icon.svg: Hermes caduceus icon
- docs/acp-setup.md: User-facing setup guide for VS Code, Zed, JetBrains

## Tests

- 41 new tests across 5 test files covering tools, sessions, permissions,
  server lifecycle, and auth
- Full test suite: 2901 passed, 0 failures

## User flow

1. hermes is already installed (install.sh)
2. Install 'ACP Client' extension in VS Code
3. Configure: command='hermes', args=['acp']
4. Chat with Hermes in the editor — diffs, terminals, approval
   dialogs, thinking blocks all rendered natively

+# 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/sessions.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
+
+By default Hermes loads all available toolsets. To restrict which tools are
+available in ACP mode, you can set `HERMES_TOOLSETS` in your environment or
+configure it in `config.yaml`.
+
+---
+
+## 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
+```
+
+---

+# Jupyter Live Kernel (hamelnb)
+
+Gives you a **stateful Python REPL** via a live Jupyter kernel. Variables persist
+across executions. Use this instead of `execute_code` when you need to build up
+state incrementally, explore APIs, inspect DataFrames, or iterate on complex code.
+
+## When to Use This vs Other Tools
+
+| Tool | Use When |
+|------|----------|
+| **This skill** | Iterative exploration, state across steps, data science, ML, "let me try this and check" |
+| `execute_code` | One-shot scripts needing hermes tool access (web_search, file ops). Stateless. |
+| `terminal` | Shell commands, builds, installs, git, process management |
+
+**Rule of thumb:** If you'd want a Jupyter notebook for the task, use this skill.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+1. **uv** must be installed (check: `which uv`)
+2. **JupyterLab** must be installed: `uv tool install jupyterlab`
+3. A Jupyter server must be running (see Setup below)
+
+## Setup
+
+The hamelnb script location:
+```
+SCRIPT="$HOME/.agent-skills/hamelnb/skills/jupyter-live-kernel/scripts/jupyter_live_kernel.py"
+```
+
+If not cloned yet:
+```
+git clone https://github.com/hamelsmu/hamelnb.git ~/.agent-skills/hamelnb
+```
+
+### Starting JupyterLab
+
+Check if a server is already running:
+```
+uv run "$SCRIPT" servers
+```
+
+If no servers found, start one:
+```
+jupyter-lab --no-browser --port=8888 --notebook-dir=$HOME/notebooks \
+  --IdentityProvider.token='' --ServerApp.password='' > /tmp/jupyter.log 2>&1 &
+sleep 3
+```
+
+Note: Token/password disabled for local agent access. The server runs headless.
+
+### Creating a Notebook for REPL Use
+
+If you just need a REPL (no existing notebook), create a minimal notebook file:
+```
+mkdir -p ~/notebooks
+```
+Write a minimal .ipynb JSON file with one empty code cell, then start a kernel
+session via the Jupyter REST API:
+```
+curl -s -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8888/api/sessions \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"path":"scratch.ipynb","type":"notebook","name":"scratch.ipynb","kernel":{"name":"python3"}}'
+```
+
+## Core Workflow
+
+All commands return structured JSON. Always use `--compact` to save tokens.
+
+### 1. Discover servers and notebooks
+
+```
+uv run "$SCRIPT" servers --compact
+uv run "$SCRIPT" notebooks --compact
+```
+
+### 2. Execute code (primary operation)
+
+```
+uv run "$SCRIPT" execute --path <notebook.ipynb> --code '<python code>' --compact
+```
+
+State persists across execute calls. Variables, imports, objects all survive.
+
+Multi-line code works with $'...' quoting:
+```
+uv run "$SCRIPT" execute --path scratch.ipynb --code $'import os\nfiles = os.listdir(".")\nprint(f"Found {len(files)} files")' --compact
+```
+
+### 3. Inspect live variables
+
+```
+uv run "$SCRIPT" variables --path <notebook.ipynb> list --compact
+uv run "$SCRIPT" variables --path <notebook.ipynb> preview --name <varname> --compact
+```
+
+### 4. Edit notebook cells
+
+```
+# View current cells
+uv run "$SCRIPT" contents --path <notebook.ipynb> --compact
+
+# Insert a new cell
+uv run "$SCRIPT" edit --path <notebook.ipynb> insert \
+  --at-index <N> --cell-type code --source '<code>' --compact
+
+# Replace cell source (use cell-id from contents output)
+uv run "$SCRIPT" edit --path <notebook.ipynb> replace-source \
+  --cell-id <id> --source '<new code>' --compact
+
+# Delete a cell
+uv run "$SCRIPT" edit --path <notebook.ipynb> delete --cell-id <id> --compact
+```
+
+### 5. Verification (restart + run all)
+
+Only use when the user asks for a clean verification or you need to confirm
+the notebook runs top-to-bottom:
+
+```
+uv run "$SCRIPT" restart-run-all --path <notebook.ipynb> --save-outputs --compact
+```
+
+## Practical Tips from Experience
+
+1. **First execution after server start may timeout** — the kernel needs a moment
+   to initialize. If you get a timeout, just retry.
+
+2. **The kernel Python is JupyterLab's Python** — packages must be installed in
+   that environment. If you need additional packages, install them into the
+   JupyterLab tool environment first.
+
+3. **--compact flag saves significant tokens** — always use it. JSON output can
+   be very verbose without it.
+
+4. **For pure REPL use**, create a scratch.ipynb and don't bother with cell editing.
+   Just use `execute` repeatedly.
+
+5. **Argument order matters** — subcommand flags like `--path` go BEFORE the
+   sub-subcommand. E.g.: `variables --path nb.ipynb list` not `variables list --path nb.ipynb`.
+
+6. **If a session doesn't exist yet**, you need to start one via the REST API
+   (see Setup section). The tool can't execute without a live kernel session.
+
+7. **Errors are returned as JSON** with traceback — read the `ename` and `evalue`
+   fields to understand what went wrong.
+
+8. **Occasional websocket timeouts** — some operations may timeout on first try,
+   especially after a kernel restart. Retry once before escalating.
+
+## Timeout Defaults
+
+The script has a 30-second default timeout per execution. For long-running
+operations, pass `--timeout 120`. Use generous timeouts (60+) for initial
+setup or heavy computation.
