- Updated hermes-config-template.prose.md: all references to strix-moe for
compression changed to syslog-auto to match operational decision on 2026-07-23
(prevents sustained Strix Halo thermal load via weighted pool).
- Updated audit-hermes-config.py Rule 7 to expect syslog-auto instead of
strix-moe, ensuring Abiba's next run validates against the correct baseline.
Rule 14: model.provider MUST be 'harness' (custom_providers[0].name), NOT 'custom'.
When provider: custom, Hermes falls through to generic resolution path that
ignores key_env, producing 'no-key-required' → HTTP 401.
audit-hermes-config.py: encodes all 14 contract rules as automated checks.
Run before and after any Hermes config change.
