Merge PR #38: feat: add Level 0 auto-delete for heartbeat log orphans

- 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.

+- **OPERATIONAL DECISION (2026-07-23): Use `syslog-auto` for compression across all agents.**
+  The `syslog-auto` alias routes to the Strix Halo, but uses the weighted pool instead of pinning
+  to `strix-moe` directly. This prevents sustained Strix Halo thermal load because the pool can
+  fall back to other GPUs if Strix gets hot. Both `compression.model` and `auxiliary.compression.model`
+  MUST be `syslog-auto`.
 - All auxiliary services MUST use identical routing:

-  ~30% of compression calls (at 60 RPM via pool vs 40 RPM direct), but the bulk (55%)
-  goes to RTX 3090 which has ample spare capacity.

+
+- `model.provider` MUST be `harness` (the `custom_providers[0].name`), NOT the literal string `custom`
+- When `provider: custom`, Hermes' `_get_named_custom_provider("custom")` returns None (no provider is

+  (`source: env/config`) at `runtime_provider.py:1156`
+- The generic path builds `api_key_candidates` from `model.api_key` (empty), host-gated
+  OLLAMA/OPENAI/OPENROUTER keys, and `_host_derived_api_key` (returns "" for IP addresses)
+- **The generic path does NOT resolve `model.api_key_env` or `custom_providers.key_env`** —
+  `LITELLM_API_KEY` is never read, producing `api_key = "no-key-required"` → HTTP 401
+- The named custom provider path (`source: custom_provider:harness`) DOES read `key_env` —
+  but only triggers when `provider` matches the `custom_providers[0].name`
+- All sections MUST use `provider: harness`: `model`, `compression`, `auxiliary.vision`,
+  `auxiliary.web_extract`, `auxiliary.compression`, `delegation`
+- Only `fallback_providers` uses a different provider (`deepseek`) for true fallback diversity
+- **Diagnostic**: If you see `source: env/config` in a request dump or log, the provider name
+  is wrong. It should be `source: custom_provider:harness`.
+- **Audit script**: Run `python3 /root/prose-contracts/audit-hermes-config.py <config.yaml>`

+# Memory Fixer
+
+## Purpose
+Auto-fix low-hanging fruit in the graph. No judgment calls — only deterministic Level 1 operations. Escalate anything that needs Kwame's input.
+
+## Level 0 Auto-Deletes (Allowed Without Approval)
+Ephemeral heartbeat and log nodes that violate "Logs NEVER go in the graph":
+
+- `[LITELLM-HEALTH]`, `[GPU-SELF-HEAL]`, `[PM2-SELF-HEAL]`
+- `[PROXMOX-MONITOR]`, `[GPU-MONITOR]`, `[INFRA-MONITOR]`, `[AGENT-HEALTH]`, `[DISK-GC]`
+- `[WAL]` entries older than 30 days
+
+**Condition:** node must be an orphan (no edges). Deleting a connected node risks breaking other nodes.
+
+**Method:** direct SQLite on `.65` (MCP has no delete tool):
+```bash
+ssh root@192.168.68.65 "sqlite3 /root/.local/share/RA-H/db/rah.sqlite \"
+DELETE FROM nodes WHERE id IN (
+  SELECT id FROM nodes WHERE id NOT IN (SELECT from_node_id FROM edges)
+  AND id NOT IN (SELECT to_node_id FROM edges)
+  AND title LIKE '[LITELLM-HEALTH]%' -- add more prefixes as needed
+);\""
+```
+
+## Level 1 Auto-Fixes (No Judgment Required)
+
+### 1. Missing `type` Field
+For nodes with content but no `metadata.type`:
+- Title contains "Proxmox" or "infrastructure" → `type: infrastructure`
+- Title contains "skill" or "how to" or "guide" → `type: skill`
+- Title contains "doc" or "template" or "brand" → `type: documentation`
+- Title starts with "WAL:" or "TASK:" → `type: note`
+- Title starts with "[LEARN]" → `type: documentation`
+- Otherwise → `type: note` (default)
+
+### 2. Missing `tenant` / `namespace`
+For any node with NULL tenant or namespace:
+```sql
+UPDATE nodes 
+SET metadata = json_set(
+  COALESCE(metadata, '{}'),
+  '$.tenant', 'syslogsolution',
+  '$.namespace', 'syslogsolution'
+)
+WHERE json_extract(metadata, '$.tenant') IS NULL 
+   OR json_extract(metadata, '$.namespace') IS NULL;
+```
+
+### 3. Staleness State Transitions
+Using the type-based windows from the memory-monitor contract:
+- Nodes stale > their window → transition to `state: review_pending`
+- Nodes in `review_pending` for >7 days → escalate to Kwame (Level 2)
+
+## Level 2 Escalations (Kwame Decision Required)
+1. **Nodes in `review_pending` >7 days** — Archive, refresh, or keep?
+2. **Orphan Nodes >90 days old** — Delete or Connect?
+3. **Potential Duplicate Nodes** — Same title or >70% overlap. Merge or Keep?
+4. **Conflicting Metadata** — Content suggests one tenant but metadata says another.
+
+## Logging
+Every Level 1 fix logged to `~/.hermes/logs/memory-fixer/YYYY-MM-DD.md`
+Every Level 2 escalation logged and delivered to Kwame.
