feat: add routing configuration with RPM caps (ornith syslog-auto: 40→60)

- Strix Halo ornith RPM increased from 40 to 60 inside syslog-auto pool - Prevented unbounded ornith traffic when multiple agents use syslog-auto - Direct ornith remains at RPM=40 - All models verified healthy (ornith 80ms, gemma 110ms, qwen 840ms) - Added full routing table to gpu-fleet contract
fix: remaining template YAML and topology table corrections

+### Root Cause
+Technology migration (Docker HIP → bare-metal Vulkan) left orphaned build
+artifacts. Docker on amdpve serves no running purpose — it's only used for
+one-off GPU builds. No automated post-migration cleanup was in place.

-### Three-in-One
+### Preventive Measures
+- amdpve added to Docker GC scan list
+- Post-migration cleanup step added: after any GPU backend migration, prune
+  the old backend's Docker images within 24 hours

+- Direct: 40 RPM (tight) — Strix Halo is shared with compression tasks

 - **Router startup race**: Compose router.py doesn't call load_roster(). Reload thread sleeps 30s first.
  Fix: trigger roster reload via SSH after restart, or rebuild image with startup load_roster().
 - **LiteLLM /metrics**: Requires auth. Prometheus uses `/health/liveliness` as workaround.
- **VRAM**: RTX 3090 at ~9.6/24GB (60% free), RTX 5070 at ~6.5/12GB (46% free). Healthy.
- **RTX 3090 optimization**: `--parallel 2 --batch-size 4096` — doubled concurrent throughput.
- **RTX 5070 optimization**: Removed draft model freed ~2GB VRAM for vision tasks. `--parallel 2`.
+- **VRAM (2026-07-12)**: RTX 3090 at 20.7/24GB (84%), RTX 5070 at 10.0/12.2GB (82%). RTX 3090 context increased to 256K (was incorrectly documented as 128K — verified via /proc/PID/cmdline).
+- **RTX 3090 runs `--parallel 1`** (verified 2026-07-12). RTX 5070 and Strix at parallel 2.
+- **RTX 3090 config**: `-c 262144 -ctk turbo4 -ctv turbo4 --parallel 1 --flash-attn on --cont-batching`. Service: `/home/llmuser/llama-wrapper.sh`.

+- **LiteLLM timeout tuning (2026-07-08)**: gemma-4-12b 25→120s, qwen3.6-27B-code 40→90s, syslog-auto (qwen route) 40→90s. Nginx proxy_read_timeout: 600s. Global request_timeout: 300s. Config at `/opt/inference-harness/litellm_config.yaml`.
 - **Strix Halo GPU**: Vulkan is the working backend (ROCm/HIP path abandoned — HSA runtime blocked on Debian 13). Build at `/root/llama.cpp/build-vk/`, commit `4fc4ec5` (2026-07-01), ggml 0.15.3 shared-lib arch. Mesa RADV 25.0.7, KHR_coopmat fast path active. ~70 tok/s gen, 532 tok/s prompt. Service: `ornith-server.service` on port 8080, 256K context, flash-attn + q8 KV.
 - **Port conflict detection (2026-07-05)**: All 3 GPU wrappers now detect ghost processes squatting port 8080 before starting. `.8` and `.110` use inline pre-start check in `llama-wrapper.sh`; `.15` uses `/usr/local/bin/port-cleanup.sh` ExecStartPre. Replaces the blanket `pkill -9 -x llama-server` on .15 which would kill ALL llama-server instances regardless of port. Ghost detection was the root cause of .8 crash-looping for 27+ restarts (stale pid 25836 squatting 8080 after OOM kill).
 - **Strix Halo thermal safeguard (2026-07-02)**: `ornith-server.service` has `-n 8192` (hard generation cap per request). Without it, `--predict` defaults to -1 (infinity) — a runaway request from .123 (Mumuni) decoded 39,868 tokens over 24 min, pushing Tctl to 98°C (crit 89.8°C) and throttling 70→29 t/s. The cap bounds worst-case generation to ~5 min. Do NOT remove `-n` without a replacement ceiling. Sustained load hits ~84°C even at 92s; the APU is fanless/low-flow. Clients MUST also set `max_tokens`.

+
+---
+
+## Remediation Rules
+
+### Rule 1: GPU Temperature Critical (>85°C for >2 min)
+- **Detect**: Any GPU temp >85°C sustained for 2+ consecutive polls
+- **Fix**: 
+  1. Reduce inference concurrency on that GPU (load-side cooling only — NO fan control)
+  2. Redirect new requests to cooler GPUs via LiteLLM fallback chains
+  3. If all GPUs hot, alert about cooling infrastructure
+- **Verify**: Temp drops below 80°C within 5 minutes
+- **Escalate after**: 3 verification failures → Zulip alert
+
+### Rule 2: VRAM Leak Detection (tiered by GPU capacity)
+- **Detect**: VRAM growing at sustained rate over 6+ hour window
+  - RTX 3090 (24GB): ≥100MB/hour
+  - RTX 5070 (12GB): ≥50MB/hour
+  - Strix Halo (64GB UMA): ≥200MB/hour
+- **Fix**: 
+  1. Log VRAM snapshot with process list (nvidia-smi/rocm-smi + ps aux)
+  2. If llama-server is the growth source → restart with memory cap flag
+  3. If unknown process → kill and alert
+- **Verify**: VRAM growth rate drops below threshold
+- **Escalate after**: persistent leak after restart → hardware investigation
+
+### Rule 3: Model Inference Timeout / GPU Stuck
+- **Detect**: >50% failure rate over 60s window + 30s grace period (not just single stuck request)
+- **Fix**: 
+  1. Restart llama-server on affected GPU host
+  2. Wait 15s for model to reload
+  3. Run benchmark inference test
+- **Verify**: Model returns 200 with <30s response, failure rate drops to 0%
+- **Escalate after**: 3 restarts in 1 hour → GPU hardware check
+
+### Rule 4: Benchmark Regression (>20% drop)
+- **Detect**: gen_tok_per_sec drops >20% below baseline over 3+ benchmarks
+- **Fix**:
+  1. Check GPU utilization — if >90%, other process is competing
+  2. Check power limit — if throttled, restore to max
+  3. Check thermal — if hot, apply Rule 1
+- **Verify**: Benchmark returns to within 10% of baseline
+- **Escalate after**: persistent regression → possible hardware degradation
+
+### Rule 5: Circuit Breaker Stuck Open
+- **Detect**: Circuit breaker open >10 minutes with GPU reporting healthy
+- **Fix**: 
+  1. Verify GPU /health returns 200
+  2. If GPU healthy, send 1 test inference
+  3. If test succeeds → reset circuit breaker via router API
+  4. 60s cooldown — if CB re-opens immediately, it was legitimate, do NOT re-reset
+  5. Max 1 auto-reset per GPU per hour
+- **Verify**: CB closes, inference succeeds, CB stays closed for 60s+
+- **Escalate after**: CB won't close after reset → router issue
+
+### Rule 6: Strix Halo Unreachable
+- **Detect**: Strix not responding — probe .15:8080 directly (firewall opened .24→.15)
+- **Fix**: 
+  1. SSH to .15 → check llama-server process
+  2. Restart llama-server if not running
+  3. Verify through both direct probe AND router
+- **Verify**: Direct health probe returns 200, router reports Strix healthy
+- **Escalate**: If host .15 itself is unreachable → infrastructure alert
+
+### Rule 7: Prometheus Exporter Down
+- **Detect**: Any GPU :9400/metrics unreachable for >2 polls
+- **Fix**:
+  1. SSH to GPU host → check prometheus-exporter process
+  2. Restart exporter if dead
+  3. While exporter is down, fall back to nvidia-smi/rocm-smi direct probes
+  4. If exporter is running but unreachable → check firewall/host networking
+- **Verify**: :9400/metrics returns 200
+- **Escalate after**: 3 failed restarts → networking issue
+
+### Rule 8: Predictive Thermal Warning (two-tier)
+- **Detect**: 
+  - Tier 1 (warning): temp >70°C AND rising >2°C/min → reduce concurrency, no alert
+  - Tier 2 (critical): temp >80°C AND still rising → full alert + aggressive load shedding
+- **Fix**: 
+  - Tier 1: silently reduce parallel requests to that GPU by 50%
+  - Tier 2: redirect all new requests away, alert #agent-hub, apply Rule 1 logic
+- **Verify**: Temp rise rate drops below 1°C/min (Tier 1) or temp drops below 80°C (Tier 2)
+- **Escalate**: If Tier 2 triggers and temp still rising after 5 min → possible hardware failure
+
+### Rule 9: Context Window Optimization
+- **Detect**: Benchmark tok/s vs baseline for each GPU at current context
+  - RTX 3090 (256K ctx, qwen3.6-27B-code): target 75+ tok/s — currently at baseline
+  - RTX 5070 (131K ctx, gemma-4-12b): target 76+ tok/s — optimal for vision/web role
+  - Strix Halo (256K ctx, ornith-1.0-35b): target 70+ tok/s — currently above baseline
+- **Fix**:
+  - If tok/s > baseline → context has headroom, consider increasing
+  - If tok/s < 90% baseline → reduce context by 25% and retest
+  - If tok/s within 10% of baseline → optimal, no change
+- **Verify**: Re-benchmark after context change, confirm within 10% of target
+- **Escalate**: If context can't be adjusted without significant perf loss
+
+### Rule 10: Workload Distribution Optimization
+- **Detect**: GPU roles misaligned with hardware capabilities
+- **Target distribution**:
+  - RTX 3090 (24GB, 256K, 75 tok/s) → Heavy reasoning, code gen, long conversations
+  - RTX 5070 (12GB, 131K, 76 tok/s) → Vision/image, web search, quick lightweight tasks
+  - Strix Halo (64GB, 256K, 72 tok/s) → Context compression, summarization, long docs
+- **Fix**:
+  - Alert if any GPU is handling workload outside its designated role
+  - Recommend Hermes agent profile updates to match workload to GPU
+  - Track per-GPU request distribution via LiteLLM spend logs
+- **Verify**: Each GPU's request pattern matches its designated role within 24h
+- **Escalate**: If role mismatch persists >48h → agent profile audit needed

+## Design Decisions (Grilled & Confirmed — 2026-07-12)
+
+1. **Fan control**: ❌ NO auto fan control. Load-side cooling only (reduce concurrency, redirect).
+2. **Model restart**: ✅ Only if >50% failure rate over 60s + 30s grace period. Not on single stuck request.
+3. **Strix direct access**: ✅ Open firewall .15:8080 → .24 for direct health probe + restart.
+4. **VRAM thresholds**: Tiered — 100MB/h (RTX 3090), 50MB/h (RTX 5070), 200MB/h (Strix).
+5. **CB auto-reset**: ✅ With rate limit — 1 test inference + 60s cooldown + max 1/hour per GPU.

+
+## Lessons Learned (2026-07-12)
+
+### L1: API Key Standardization Is Critical
+- All GPU llama-servers MUST use the same api-key as the LiteLLM config.
+- RTX 5070 had `--api-key sk-loc...5678` while LiteLLM sent `not-needed`.
+  This caused cascading 401 → fallback → timeout → 401 loops, burning all retries.
+- **Rule**: Any new GPU or model restart MUST verify api-key matches LiteLLM config.
+
+### L2: Fallback Chain Cascading Failures
+- When one model returns 401 (auth) and another is slow (timeout), the fallback
+  chain creates an infinite loop: gemma 401 → qwen timeout → gemma 401 → ...
+- **Rule**: If a model returns 401 (auth error), do NOT fall back to it again.
+  Mark it as permanently failed for this request.
+
+### L3: Verify Running State, Not Docs
+- RTX 3090 was documented at 128K context. Actually running at 256K.
+- Parallel count wrong (docs said 2, actual is 1 on RTX 3090).
+- **Rule**: Before making decisions, check `/proc/PID/cmdline` on GPU hosts.
+
+### L4: Infisical Is Not Always Available
+- Tanko's Infisical service token was 404 — gateway ran without API key for hours.
+- **Rule**: Always keep a local `.env` fallback for `LITELLM_API_KEY`.
+- Contract hermes-config-template Rule 3 updated.
+
+### L5: Zulip Event Queue Can Silently Die
+- Mumuni's queue accumulated 41 errors/reconnects then stopped polling.
+  Gateway was running but ignoring all messages.
+- **Rule**: litellm-health-check now monitors gateway responsiveness via Zulip API.

+- **Master key**: stored in Infisical vault (project=infrastructure, secret=LITELLM_MASTER_KEY) — ADMIN ONLY
 - **Agent keys**: Each agent has a dedicated key in LiteLLM's database with alias matching the agent name
- **Key source**: `/etc/environment` → `LITELLM_API_KEY=sk-...` (systemd service sources this)
- **Override**: `/home/jerome/.config/systemd/user/hermes-gateway.service.d/env.conf` (if present, must match)
+- **Key injection**: `infisical run --project=agents --env=production -- hermes gateway run` injects `LITELLM_API_KEY` at runtime
+- **Key source**: Infisical vault → runtime env var. /etc/environment is CLEAN (stripped, tagged `# [INFISICAL]`)

+  and qwen3.6-27B-code, with gemma-4-12b as fallback. Using it protects against:
+  - Model name typos that cause 403 errors and silent worker failures
+  - Single GPU downtime (routing falls back automatically)
+  - Key/model authorization mismatches
+- **Exception**: Sub-agent profiles (Mumuni's 6 profiles) may specify explicit models
+  for specialized tasks, but MUST validate those models exist in the key's authorized list
+
+### Rule 11: Validate Model IDs Before Deployment (pi Agents)
+- After configuring a pi agent's `models.json`, verify every model ID:
+  ```bash
+  curl -s http://192.168.68.116:4000/v1/models \
+    -H "Authorization: Bearer <AGENT_KEY>" | jq '.data[].id'
+  ```
+- All model IDs in `models.json` MUST appear in the LiteLLM response
+- The agent's API key may have a SUBSET of the full model catalog — check per-key
+- A non-existent model ID causes 403 errors that silently break the pi RPC worker

+|------|------|--------|
+| `http://192.168.68.116/v1` | None (direct) | ❌ **DEPRECATED** — being phased out |

+All harness/litellm providers MUST use the authenticated `/litellm/v1/responses` path.
+Any `base_url` pointing to bare `/v1` on 192.168.68.116 is a **migration violation**.
+
+### 🔥 CRITICAL: Double-Path Bug (2026-07-10)
+
+When `api_mode: responses` is set, Hermes **appends `/v1/responses`** to `base_url`.
+If `base_url` already includes `/litellm/v1/responses`, the result is:
+
+```
+http://192.168.68.116/litellm/v1/responses/v1/responses → 404
+```
+
+**The `base_url` must end at `/v1` — never include `/responses`:**

+```yaml
+# ✅ CORRECT — Hermes appends /v1/responses for api_mode: responses

 ## Key Longevity Policy (2026-07-04)

 **Keys are permanent and use bare agent name aliases.**

 - **Duration**: `null` — keys never expire. This is enforced by `default_key_generate_params` in `litellm_config.yaml`.
- **Alias convention**: bare agent name only (e.g., `tanko`, `mumuni`, `tdunna`, `baggy`). No dates, no versions. The alias IS the identity.
+- **Alias convention**: bare agent name only (e.g., `tanko`, `mumuni`, `koby`, `koonimo`). No dates, no versions. The alias IS the identity.
 - **Rotation triggers**: compromise, personnel departure, or quarterly security hygiene. NOT calendar-driven.
 - **Max budget**: $100 per key (config default).

+**Correct pattern (post-migration):**
 ```ini
-# In service file:
-EnvironmentFile=/etc/environment
+# Service file wraps gateway with Infisical:
+[Service]
+ExecStart=/usr/bin/infisical run --project=agents --env=production -- \
+  /usr/bin/hermes gateway run

-# Drop-in only for overrides, NOT primary key storage.
-# If a drop-in exists, it must match /etc/environment.
+# /etc/environment is CLEAN — no LITELLM_API_KEY present
+# (strip it and tag with # [INFISICAL] if present)
 ```

-**Rotation procedure** (one step with this standard):
+**Legacy pattern (deprecated — pre-migration only):**
+```ini
+# DO NOT USE post-migration:
+EnvironmentFile=/etc/environment
+# This pattern was replaced by infisical run -- wrapper
+```
+
+**Rotation procedure** (one vault operation with this standard):

+## Execution
+
+### Step 1: Resolve Target
+
+Map `target` to host, CT ID, hermes_home, and user from the live-state table.
+For CT112 and CT111, route through `ssh root@amdpve` then `pct exec <id>`.
+
+### Step 2: Pull Latest Plugin Source
+
+On the target host:
+
+```bash
+# Ensure deploy scratch space
+mkdir -p /tmp/zulip-deploy
+cd /tmp/zulip-deploy
+
+# Clone or pull
+if [ -d zulip-platform-plugins ]; then
+  cd zulip-platform-plugins
+  git fetch origin
+  git checkout {{branch}}
+  git pull origin {{branch}}
+else
+  git clone --branch {{branch}} \
+    https://git.sysloggh.net/SyslogSolution/zulip-platform-plugins.git
+  cd zulip-platform-plugins
+fi
+
+# Capture installed version
+INSTALLED_SHA=$(git rev-parse HEAD)
+echo "Installed SHA: $INSTALLED_SHA"
+
+# Verify we're at HEAD
+HEAD_SHA=$(git rev-parse origin/{{branch}})
+if [ "$INSTALLED_SHA" = "$HEAD_SHA" ]; then
+  echo "At latest commit on {{branch}}"
+else
+  echo "WARNING: not at HEAD — $INSTALLED_SHA vs $HEAD_SHA"
+fi
+```
+
+### Step 3: Install Plugin Files
+
+```bash
+# Ensure target directory exists
+mkdir -p {{hermes_home}}/hermes-agent/plugins/platforms/zulip
+
+# Copy adapter files
+cp plugins/platforms/zulip/adapter.py \
+   plugins/platforms/zulip/__init__.py \
+   plugins/platforms/zulip/plugin.yaml \
+   {{hermes_home}}/hermes-agent/plugins/platforms/zulip/
+
+# Fix ownership (Tanko only — runs as jerome user)
+[ "{{target}}" = "tanko" ] && chown -R jerome:jerome \
+  {{hermes_home}}/hermes-agent/plugins/platforms/zulip/
+
+echo "Plugin files installed"
+```
+
+### Step 4: Verify Installation
+
+```bash
+# Check all three files exist
+for f in __init__.py adapter.py plugin.yaml; do
+  if [ -f "{{hermes_home}}/hermes-agent/plugins/platforms/zulip/$f" ]; then
+    echo "✅ $f present"
+  else
+    echo "❌ $f MISSING"
+    exit 1
+  fi
+done
+
+# Verify _strip_html fix
+grep -q "_strip_html" {{hermes_home}}/hermes-agent/plugins/platforms/zulip/adapter.py \
+  && echo "✅ _strip_html fix present" \
+  || echo "❌ _strip_html MISSING — plugin may be stale"
+
+# Show installed plugin.yaml version
+grep "^version:" {{hermes_home}}/hermes-agent/plugins/platforms/zulip/plugin.yaml || true
+```
+
+### Step 5: Restart Gateway
+
+Plugin changes require a gateway restart to take effect:
+
+```bash
+cd {{hermes_home}}/hermes-agent
+# Use venv if available
+python3 -m hermes_cli.main gateway restart 2>&1 || \
+  venv/bin/python -m hermes_cli.main gateway restart 2>&1
+```
+
+Wait for restart to complete (up to 45s), then confirm:
+
+```bash
+grep "Gateway running" {{hermes_home}}/logs/gateway.log | tail -1
+```
+
+Expected: `Gateway running with N platform(s)` where N > 1 (includes zulip).
+
+Quick smoke check — confirm zulip platform loaded:
+
+```bash
+grep -E "zulip.*loaded|zulip.*registered" {{hermes_home}}/logs/gateway.log | tail -3
+```
+
+If gateway fails to restart, check logs for the crash cause before proceeding.
+
+### Step 6: Send Relay Success Signal
+
+On the Abiba host (local), dispatch a relay message to the target agent:
+
+```
+ra-h-os-createRelayNode:
+  title: "Zulip plugin updated — {{target}}"
+  source: |
+    Plugin installed from {{branch}} @ {{INSTALLED_SHA}}
+    All 3 adapter files verified at {{hermes_home}}/hermes-agent/plugins/platforms/zulip/
+    _strip_html fix: PRESENT
+    Timestamp: {{timestamp}}
+
+  description: "hermes-zulip-plugin completed for {{target}} — plugin layer healthy"
+```
+
+### Step 7: Report
+
+Compile results into a single status block:
+
+| Field | Value |
+|-------|-------|
+| Target | `{{target}}` |
+| Branch | `{{branch}}` |
+| Commit SHA | `{{INSTALLED_SHA}}` |
+| Files installed | `__init__.py`, `adapter.py`, `plugin.yaml` |
+| `_strip_html` | `{{present|missing}}` |
+| Gateway restarted | `{{yes|no}}` |
+| Signal sent | `{{yes|no}}` |
+
+## Known Failure Modes
+
+| Symptom | Root Cause | Recovery |
+|---------|-----------|----------|
+| Git clone fails | No network or repo unreachable | Check VPN/network, verify repo URL |
+| Permission denied on copy | Wrong user for target | Use correct user (jerome for Tanko, root for others) |

+# Hermes Zulip Restore — Bring Any Agent Back to Good State
+
+Single-shot function that restores full Zulip connectivity for a Hermes agent.
+Covers adapter deployment, HTML stripping (slash command fix), env verification,
+gateway restart, and connection validation.
+
+## Parameters
+
+| Param | Type | Required | Default | Description |
+|-------|------|----------|---------|-------------|
+| `target` | string | yes | — | Agent name: `mumuni`, `tanko`, `koby`, or `shumba` |
+
+## Maintains
+
+- adapter_deployed: bool — Whether `_strip_html` adapter is at correct bundled path
+- zulip_connected: bool — Whether gateway_state shows zulip.state = "connected"
+- env_valid: bool — Whether .env has ZULIP_SITE, ZULIP_EMAIL, ZULIP_API_KEY
+- gateway_running: bool — Whether gateway process is running
+
+### Postconditions

+| Field | Value | Trust |
+|-------|-------|-------|
+| Zulip server | https://chat.sysloggh.net | ✅ Verified |
+| Git repo (zulip-platform) | `https://git.sysloggh.net/SyslogSolution/zulip-platform-plugins.git` | ✅ Verified |
+| Bundled adapter path | `<HERMES_HOME>/hermes-agent/plugins/platforms/zulip/` | ✅ Verified |
+| Git branch | `feat/zulip-streaming` | ✅ Verified (contains _strip_html fix) |
+
+## Execution
+
+### Step 1: Locate Target
+
+Map `target` to connectivity parameters from the live-state table above.
+For CT112 and CT111, route through `ssh root@amdpve` then `pct exec <id>`.
+
+### Step 2: Deploy Zulip Adapter
+
+On the target host:
+
+```bash
+# Clone or update the plugin repo
+mkdir -p /tmp/zulip-deploy
+cd /tmp/zulip-deploy
+if [ -d zulip-platform-plugins ]; then
+  cd zulip-platform-plugins && git pull origin feat/zulip-streaming
+else
+  git clone --branch feat/zulip-streaming \
+    https://git.sysloggh.net/SyslogSolution/zulip-platform-plugins.git
+fi
+
+# Ensure bundled plugin directory exists
+mkdir -p <HERMES_HOME>/hermes-agent/plugins/platforms/zulip
+
+# Copy adapter files
+cp zulip-platform-plugins/plugins/platforms/zulip/adapter.py \
+   zulip-platform-plugins/plugins/platforms/zulip/__init__.py \
+   zulip-platform-plugins/plugins/platforms/zulip/plugin.yaml \
+   <HERMES_HOME>/hermes-agent/plugins/platforms/zulip/
+
+# Fix ownership (Tanko only)
+chown -R jerome:jerome <HERMES_HOME>/hermes-agent/plugins/platforms/zulip/  # Tanko only
+
+# Clean up
+rm -rf /tmp/zulip-deploy
+```
+
+### Step 3: Verify _strip_html is Present
+
+```bash
+grep -q "_strip_html" <HERMES_HOME>/hermes-agent/plugins/platforms/zulip/adapter.py
+```
+Expected: exit code 0. If not found → adapter is stale, re-run Step 2 with fresh clone.
+
+### Step 4: Verify Env Credentials
+
+```bash
+grep -E "ZULIP_SITE|ZULIP_EMAIL|ZULIP_API_KEY" <HERMES_HOME>/.env
+```
+
+Expected: all three variables set with non-empty values. If any missing:
+- ZULIP_SITE: `https://chat.sysloggh.net`
+- ZULIP_EMAIL: `<agent>-bot@chat.sysloggh.net`
+- ZULIP_API_KEY: obtain from Zulip admin panel (Bots → show API key)
+
+### Step 5: Restart Gateway
+
+```bash
+cd <HERMES_HOME>/hermes-agent
+# Use venv if available
+python3 -m hermes_cli.main gateway restart  # or: venv/bin/python -m hermes_cli.main gateway restart
+```
+
+Wait for the restart to complete (up to 45s). Check:
+
+```bash
+grep "Gateway running" <HERMES_HOME>/logs/gateway.log | tail -1
+```
+
+Expected: "Gateway running with N platform(s)" where N > 1 (includes zulip).
+
+### Step 6: Validate Zulip Connection
+
+```bash
+python3 -c "
+import json
+d = json.load(open('$HERMES_HOME/gateway_state.json'))
+print('zulip:', d.get('platforms', {}).get('zulip', {}).get('state', 'NOT FOUND'))
+"
+```
+
+Expected: `zulip: connected`. If not connected, check gateway log:
+
+```bash
+grep -E "zulip|Zulip|ZULIP" <HERMES_HOME>/logs/gateway.log | tail -10
+```
+
+### Step 7: Report
+
+Compile results: `{ adapter_deployed, zulip_connected, env_valid, gateway_running }`.
+
+| State | Action |
+|-------|--------|
+| All true | ✅ Agent restored — relay success to user |
+| `adapter_deployed: false` | Re-run Step 2 |
+| `env_valid: false` | Prompt for missing credentials |
+| `zulip_connected: false` | Check Zulip server reachability, verify API key |
+| `gateway_running: false` | Check process logs for crash cause |
+
+## Known Failure Modes
+
+| Symptom | Root Cause | Recovery |
+|---------|-----------|----------|
+| Gateway running with 1 platform(s) | Adapter at wrong path (user plugins vs bundled) | Deploy to `<hermes-agent>/plugins/platforms/zulip/` not `~/.hermes/plugins/` |
+| Queue expired / BAD_EVENT_QUEUE_ID | Idle for 10+ minutes → normal | Auto-reconnects — no action needed |
+| No events received for N seconds | No DMs or @mentions sent to this bot | Normal if nobody messaged the agent |
+| `httpx` not found | Missing dependency | `pip install httpx` in the Hermes venv or system Python |
+| Slash commands not matching | Missing `_strip_html` — Zulip sends `<p>/approve</p>` | Verify `_strip_html` in adapter (Step 3) |
+| Permission denied on gateway restart | Running as wrong user | Use `su - jerome` for Tanko; root for others |
+
+## Git Branch Reference
+
+The `_strip_html` fix lives on `feat/zulip-streaming` branch:
+```
+https://git.sysloggh.net/SyslogSolution/zulip-platform-plugins/src/branch/feat/zulip-streaming
+```
+
+Commit `55ca15d` — `fix(zulip): add _strip_html for slash command matching`
+Pull request #33 is the primary integration branch.

+
+LiteLLM CT 116 now serves as an authenticated MCP gateway for RA-H OS tools.
+
+### Configuration
+
+**litellm_config.yaml** (`/opt/inference-harness/litellm_config.yaml`):
+```yaml
+mcp_servers:
+  ra_h_os:
+    url: "http://192.168.68.65:3100/mcp"
+    transport: "http"
+    auth_type: "none"
+```
+
+**docker-compose.yml** env vars:
+```yaml
+- MCP_SERVER_RAHOS_URL=http://192.168.68.65:3100/mcp
+- MCP_SERVER_RAHOS_TRANSPORT=http
+```
+
+### Access
+
+| Key | MCP Access |
+|-----|-----------|
+| Master key | ✅ Full — 90 tools (vault-injected) |
+| Agent keys (mumuni, tanko, etc.) | ❌ Per-key grants not supported in v1.90.0-rc.1 |
+
+### Known Limitations
+- Per-key MCP server grants not functional — only master key has access
+- Responses API (`/v1/responses`) with MCP tools broken on llama.cpp backends
+- HTTP 307 redirect on `/mcp` → use `/mcp/` (trailing slash) or `/mcp-rest/` endpoints
+- `api_mode: responses` in Hermes appends `/v1/responses` to base_url → **base_url must end at `/v1`, never `/responses`** (double-path bug)
+
+### Migration Path
+When LiteLLM is upgraded to a version supporting per-key MCP grants:
+1. Grant agent keys `mcp_servers: ["ra_h_os"]`
+2. Update Hermes `mcp_servers.ra-h-os.url` from `http://192.168.68.65:3100/mcp` → `http://192.168.68.116:4000/mcp/`

+   - Note: qwen3.6-35B-A3B removed from fleet (was never deployed on any GPU)
   - Return the new key
 5. **If action == "rotate"**:
   - Generate new key with same alias (LiteLLM replaces the old key)
-   - SSH to agent_host, update /etc/environment LITELLM_API_KEY
-   - Restart agent gateway (hermes gateway restart for Hermes agents)
+   - Update secret in Infisical vault: `infisical secrets set LITELLM_API_KEY=<new_key> --project=<vault_project> --env=<vault_env>`
+   - Restart agent gateway (Hermes: `systemctl restart hermes-gateway`; pi: restart PM2 process)
+     The gateway automatically picks up the new key via `infisical run --` wrapper
   - Verify: curl test against /v1/models with new key
   - Rotation policy: on-demand only (compromise, departure, quarterly hygiene)
+   - Note: /etc/environment is NO LONGER used for LiteLLM keys. Agents inject keys at runtime via vault wrapper.
 6. **If action == "verify"**:
-   - SSH to agent, read /etc/environment
+   - Retrieve key from Infisical vault: `infisical secrets get LITELLM_API_KEY --project=<vault_project> --env=<vault_env>`
   - Test the key against LiteLLM /v1/models
   - Confirm key alias matches agent_name in LiteLLM key list

- Router is BACK — runs internally on :9000 behind LiteLLM
- nginx routes /v1/ and /admin/ → LiteLLM (not router directly)
- Router :9000 is 127.0.0.1-only, not publicly accessible
- GPU fleet dashboard: http://192.168.68.24:9100
- Grafana: http://192.168.68.116:3001 (GPU dashboards via Prometheus)
+**What changed (v3.2.0 → v4.0.0 — 2026-07-08)**:

+### 11. Model-ID Mismatch Causes Silent Worker Failure (pi-specific)
+- **Symptom**: User sends DM, sees placeholder, but never gets response. Worker stays
+  "busy" forever, accumulating pending replies (10+). Health endpoint shows green but
+  `messages_processed` stalls.
+- **Root cause**: Agent's model config (`models.json` or `settings.json`) references a
+  model ID that doesn't exist in LiteLLM's authorized model list. Example: `qwen3.6-35B-A3B`
+  configured but LiteLLM only exposes `ornith-1.0-35b` under that key. pi's session
+  workers emit 403 on first prompt, then never recover because the error doesn't trigger
+  `agent_end` — worker stays `busy` and all subsequent messages pile up in the steer queue.
+- **Detection**: Compare `~/.pi/agent/models.json` model IDs against `curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <KEY>" http://192.168.68.116/v1/models` output. A stuck worker shows
+  `workers=[<id>:busy:N]` with growing N in extension logs.
+- **Fix**: (1) Update `models.json` to only include models from the authorized list.
+  (2) Set `defaultModel` to `syslog-auto` (safe routing model). (3) Delete stale session
+  JSONL files from `~/.pi/agent/sessions/zulip/`. (4) Restart PM2 process.
+- **Prevention**: Use `syslog-auto` as default model for all agents — it handles model
+  routing and fallback automatically. Direct model IDs (`ornith-1.0-35b`, etc.) should
+  only be used when explicitly requested. Validate model IDs at agent setup time.
+- **Applies to**: pi extension (Tdunna CT111, fixed 2026-07-08), any agent using `syslog-harness` provider

+description: >
+  Fixes Zulip OIDC authentication when the redirect_uri sent to Authentik
+  uses the internal IP (192.168.68.19) instead of the public domain
+  (chat.sysloggh.net). Applied via monkey-patch in ZULIP_CUSTOM_SETTINGS.
+  Survives container restarts through compose.override.yaml.
+agent: abiba
+triggers:
+  - Zulip OIDC login returns "Redirect URI Error" from Authentik
+  - redirect_uri in OAuth URL shows 192.168.68.19 instead of chat.sysloggh.net
+  - After Zulip server restart, Authentik SSO login broken
+---
+
+## Maintains
+
+- zulip-oidc: { redirect_uri: "https://chat.sysloggh.net/complete/oidc/", scheme: "https", host: "chat.sysloggh.net" }
+- authentik-acceptance: { status: "accepted" | "rejected" }
+- patched-strategy: { module: "social_core.strategy.BaseStrategy", method: "absolute_uri", root: "ROOT_DOMAIN_URI" }
+
+## Detection
+
+### Rule 1: Wrong redirect_uri host
+- **Detect**: `curl -sk -L "https://chat.sysloggh.net/accounts/login/social/oidc/authentik" 2>&1 | grep "redirect_uri=https://192.168.68.19"`
+- **Status**: CRITICAL — Authentik will reject
+- **Trigger fix** → Execute self-heal
+
+### Rule 2: OIDC flow broken
+- **Detect**: `curl -sk -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" "https://chat.sysloggh.net/accounts/login/social/oidc/authentik"` → chain ends at Authentik 400
+- **Diagnose**: Check redirect_uri in the 302 Location header chain
+
+## Fix (Self-Heal)
+
+Two layers applied:
+
+### Layer 1: Live patch (inside container, immediate)
+```bash
+# Add to /home/zulip/deployments/current/zproject/computed_settings.py:
+SOCIAL_AUTH_REDIRECT_IS_HTTPS = True
+
+import urllib.parse
+from social_core.strategy import BaseStrategy
+_original_absolute_uri = BaseStrategy.absolute_uri
+def _patched_absolute_uri(self, path=None):
+    from django.conf import settings
+    root = getattr(settings, "ROOT_DOMAIN_URI", "https://chat.sysloggh.net")
+    if path is not None:
+        return urllib.parse.urljoin(root, path)
+    return root
+BaseStrategy.absolute_uri = _patched_absolute_uri
+
+# Restart Django
+supervisorctl restart zulip-django
+```
+
+### Layer 2: Persistent fix (compose.override.yaml)
+The patch is baked into the `ZULIP_CUSTOM_SETTINGS` env var in
+`/opt/zulip/compose.override.yaml`. Survives Docker container restarts.
+
+### Verification
+```bash
+STEP1=$(curl -sk -w "%{redirect_url}" \
+  "https://chat.sysloggh.net/accounts/login/social/oidc/authentik" -o /dev/null)
+curl -sk -D- "$STEP1" -o /dev/null 2>&1 | grep "redirect_uri="
+# Expected: redirect_uri=https://chat.sysloggh.net/complete/oidc/
+# Wrong:    redirect_uri=https://192.168.68.19/complete/oidc/
+```
+
+### Rollback
+Remove the patch block from `compose.override.yaml` and restart the container:
+```bash
+docker compose -f /opt/zulip/compose.yaml -f /opt/zulip/compose.override.yaml up -d zulip
+```
+
+## Root Cause
+
+After Zulip restart, `social-auth-core` computes the OIDC `redirect_uri` via
+Django's `request.build_absolute_uri()` → `request.get_host()`. The upstream
+Netbird/Traefik proxy (72.61.0.17) forwards `Host: 192.168.68.19` instead of
+`Host: chat.sysloggh.net`, and without `HTTP_HOST` in nginx's `uwsgi_params`,
+Django falls back to the server's IP.
+
+The monkey-patch overrides `BaseStrategy.absolute_uri()` to always use
+`ROOT_DOMAIN_URI` (`https://chat.sysloggh.net`) regardless of the request's
+Host header.
