Deploys zulip-platform adapter to bundled plugin path, verifies
env credentials, restarts gateway, and validates Zulip connection.
Covers Mumuni (CT114), Tanko (CT112), Koby (CT111).

Includes _strip_html slash-command fix, known failure modes,
and owner-aware restart paths.

+### Systemd Service Pattern (2026-07-04 fix)
+
+All Hermes agents use systemd to manage their gateway. Two issues were fixed:
+
+1. **Drop-in override** — `/etc/systemd/system/hermes-gateway.service.d/litellm-key.conf` (or user equivalent) had hardcoded `LITELLM_API_KEY` that bypassed `/etc/environment`.
+2. **Missing EnvironmentFile** — Services did not source `/etc/environment`.
+
+**Correct pattern:**
+```ini
+# In service file:
+EnvironmentFile=/etc/environment
+
+# Drop-in only for overrides, NOT primary key storage.
+# If a drop-in exists, it must match /etc/environment.
+```
+
+**Rotation procedure** (one step with this standard):
+1. Generate new key in LiteLLM: `curl /key/generate` with agent alias
+2. Update `/etc/environment`: `sed -i 's/LITELLM_API_KEY=.*/LITELLM_API_KEY=sk-NEW/' /etc/environment`
+3. Update drop-in (if exists): same sed on `litellm-key.conf`
+4. Restart: `systemctl [--user] restart hermes-gateway`

 4. **Restart** — gateway must restart to pick up env var
 5. **Confirm** — test key against LiteLLM: `curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY" .../v1/models` → 200
 6. **Update** — bump the verified table above
+7. **Use safe-mutate** — if the fix requires changing `/etc/environment` or restarting the gateway on a remote host, use `safe-mutate` to verify current state before mutating.

+# 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`, or `koby` |
+
+## 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
+
+- `_strip_html` function present in `<hermes-agent>/plugins/platforms/zulip/adapter.py`
+- All three adapter files (__init__.py, adapter.py, plugin.yaml) present at bundled path
+- Zulip env vars set in `~/.hermes/.env` (or `/home/jerome/.hermes/.env` for Tanko)
+- Gateway restarted and zulip platform reports state `connected`
+- HTML stripping enabled for `/approve` and `/deny` slash command support
+
+## Requires
+
+- SSH access to target host (direct or via amdpve for CTs)
+- Git repo at `https://git.sysloggh.net/SyslogSolution/zulip-platform-plugins.git`
+- Python 3 with `httpx` installed on target
+- Zulip server accessible at `https://chat.sysloggh.net`
+
+## Live-State Fields

+| Host | CT | Proxmox | IP (direct) | Hermes Home | User |
+|------|-----|---------|-------------|-------------|------|
+| Mumuni | CT114 | — | 192.168.68.123 | /root/.hermes | root |
+| Tanko | CT112 | amdpve | 192.168.68.122 | /home/jerome/.hermes | jerome |
+| Koby | CT111 | amdpve | 192.168.68.129 | /root/.hermes | root |
+
+| 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.
+
+---
+
+**Last verified good state**: 2026-07-08 — Mumuni, Tanko, Koby all connected with `_strip_html` applied.
