Rule 5 now treats internal http://192.168.68.116/v1 as non-canonical
but working (authenticated via nginx), producing a WARNING instead of a
FAILURE. The canonical internal path /litellm/v1 and the public host
https://litellm.sysloggh.net/v1 both PASS. Everything else FAILS.
Prose aligned: hermes-key-enforcement.prose.md now states the canonical
internal form, notes that internal /v1 still works but is flagged as
non-canonical (WARN not FAIL), and clarifies that the public host serves
/v1 ONLY (404 on /litellm/v1). Corrected the 'unauthenticated path'
wording at line 116, which was factually wrong.
Tests updated: BASE template uses canonical internal path; new test
cases prove canonical /litellm/v1 PASSES, wrong path FAILS, public host
PASSES, and internal /v1 WARNS (not FAILS). Fixed backwards comment in
test_old_rule5_check_would_fail_canonical.
1. Host-side fix (tanko 192.168.68.122): Moved 5 config.yaml.bak-* files
from /root/.hermes/ to /root/hermes-config-backups/ so the scanner
pattern no longer matches. Dead credential (sk-b7d99... DEEPSEEK key
from July, 401 against gateway) is preserved in history without
cluttering the scanned tree.
2. Contract text: Added ACCEPTABLE PATTERN section to
hermes-key-enforcement.prose.md clarifying that agent keys live in
.env/.env.vault with 600 perms (koonimo's shape), while a plaintext
key in config.yaml or any config backup is a violation. Fix procedure:
move the backup file out of the scanned tree, don't delete.
- hermes-key-enforcement.prose.md:
- State that expiry must be set EXPLICITLY at creation with duration
- Record that config default is NOT honoured by LiteLLM 1.99.1
- Describe daily audit as AUDIT-ONLY (reports non-expiring and soon-to-expire)
- State that renewal is NOT implemented
- Document exclusions: abiba-pi and all crewmate keys stay WITHOUT expiry
- koby is report-only
- litellm-api-keys.prose.md:
- Replace literal master key with retrieval path (docker exec + infisical)
- State that literal values must never be trusted again (key rotates)
- Add live-key check (200 from /key/list)
Signed-off-by: Abiba
Contract design defect: 'uses a non-harness provider' (POLICY) and
'cannot authenticate' (FAULT) were printed as the same violation class.
A policy observation must never be phrased as if the agent were broken.
Changes:
1. Added 'Violation Classification' section to all three contracts
2. Separated POLICY (observation only) from FAULT (requires request-level evidence)
3. Rules:
- Do NOT infer runtime credential resolution from config text alone
- Require request-level evidence before calling a FAULT: observed auth failure
or absence of successful calls
- If calls are succeeding, output is 'POLICY: uses <provider> directly; calls
succeeding' - not a violation
- State what you OBSERVED, not what the field implies

The helper was correct but dead code - nothing called it. This commit:
1. Makes the helper runnable standalone: scripts/hermes-reachability-check.sh <host> <pattern> <path>
2. Wires all THREE contracts to it:
- hermes-key-enforcement.prose.md
- hermes-config-template.prose.md
- hermes-agent-baseline.prose.md
3. Each contract now explicitly instructs to run the helper and interpret the three outcomes
4. States that the bug this replaces was deriving reachability from the remote grep's exit code
Files changed (4):
- scripts/hermes-reachability-check.sh (standalone mode added)
- hermes-key-enforcement.prose.md (reachability section added)
- hermes-config-template.prose.md (reachability section added)
- hermes-agent-baseline.prose.md (reachability section added)
- Remove retired names (qwen3.6-27B-code, qwen3.6-35B-udq4) from live alias claims
- Update Strix Halo model to Carnice-Qwen3.6-MoE-35B-A3B-Q4_K_M.gguf (strix-moe, 256K ctx)
- Fix litellm-health step 7 probe to gpu-vision (monitor key scoped)
- Move qwen3.6-27B-code/35B-udq4 from raw-but-live to non-resolving in audit
- Fold in pm2-self-heal: remove spoton-service (live PM2 set is 4/4)
- Update hermes templates, key enforcement, timeout tables to live names
audit-hermes-config.py Rule 8 required auxiliary.vision.model and
auxiliary.web_extract.model to equal the retired 'gpu-light', so a config
adopting the live canonical 'gpu-vision' FAILED our own audit - the audit was
enforcing a dead alias (400 Invalid model name). Rule 8 now requires
gpu-vision; retired names gpu-light/crew-auto join the raw-name rejection set;
the guidance message names the live aliases.
Sweep of the remaining references: gpu-self-heal stops canonicalizing
gpu-light; hermes-config-template, hermes-agent-baseline, hermes-key-enforcement,
inference-optimization, litellm-client-timeouts and gpu-fleet now use the live
gpu-vision alias. Where a file restated model/rpm/weight/fallback state it now
points at CT 116 /opt/inference-harness/litellm_config.yaml instead of
duplicating it. koby's .129 config is report-only and recorded, not edited.
Adds tests/test_audit_hermes_config_alias.py: executes the audit CLI and asserts
gpu-vision passes while gpu-light and gemma-4-12b fail.
Mumuni migrated off Abiba CT100 (192.168.68.24, purged) to dedicated
CT kagentz (192.168.68.14) on minipve. Verified live on kagentz:
- Gateway: systemd unit hermes-gateway.service (User=hermes), active
- Hermes home: /home/hermes/.hermes
- gateway_state.json present at ~/.hermes/gateway_state.json
Updates Mumuni rows/references in 9 contracts. Abiba-owned refs
(.24 pi agent, GPU monitor, infrastructure-control CRITICAL file)
and historical runs/ logs intentionally left unchanged.
Per relay #738 follow-ups. Refs #735-#738.
_resolve_task_provider_model() in agent/auxiliary_client.py ignores
api_key_env for auxiliary tasks (vision, compression). The custom
provider path resolves it, but aux tasks take a different code path.
Workaround: set api_key directly alongside api_key_env.
Applied to Tanko (vision + compression).
Tanko: old key sk-620a05e95a... was from docker-compose router config,
not LiteLLM key DB. Deleted + regenerated via LiteLLM API:
sk-CggiHWlamQyShxWC3Hx6uw (alias: tanko, budget: $100)
Mumuni: verified via pct-run 114 — key is sk-VrqCNlwUgzoNGOpikJ7nwQ
(was previously listed as sk-XY2aUfvy2... in contracts)
hermes-key-enforcement.prose.md:
- Add IP column to verified agents table
- Fix Tanko status: was using master key via systemd drop-in (not compliant)
- Add detection query step 2: check systemd drop-ins for master key leaks
- Add step 3: verify running process env against dedicated key
- Mark Mumuni, Koby, Koonimo as Unverified (last check was surface-level only)
gpu-fleet.prose.md:
- Add CT ID column to agent table for cross-reference
- Fix Abiba IP .24 → .65 (pi agent runs on RA-H OS host)
- Update Abiba LiteLLM key to match actual models.json key
- Set Koonimo IP to unknown (was .114 — incorrect per user)
- Fix pi-specific paths .24 → .65
hermes-config-template.prose.md:
- Set Koonimo IP to unknown
infrastructure-control.prose.md:
- Set Koonimo IP to unknown
- Fix Koonimo CT reference
Test results:
- Test #1: Recursive grep finds sub-profile violations old query missed (2/2 vs 1/2)
- Test #2: safe-mutate step correctly positioned in Violation Response, YAML valid
- Removed actions/checkout@v4 (requires Node.js, unavailable on runner)
- Gitea act runner provides repo checkout automatically
- Added 'enforcement' to valid kind list for hermes-key-enforcement
- All steps are now pure shell — zero external dependencies
- hermes-key-enforcement.prose.md: NEW contract enforcing api_key_env for all harness/LiteLLM providers, exempting external providers
- hermes-config-template.prose.md: Updated with full fix log (15 total fixes across Koby/Koonimo/Mumuni/Tanko), model:auto detection rule, key-to-agent mapping
- infrastructure-control.prose.md: Added Stirling-PDF service details (port 8989, credentials, API key, Swagger URL) replacing Bento-PDF
