Fix: update compression model to syslog-auto across contract and audit (Rule 7)

- 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.
Add Rule 14 (provider name must match custom_providers) + audit script

 Hermes Config Audit — validates a live config.yaml against the prose contract rules.
 Usage:
    python3 audit-hermes-config.py <config.yaml>
    python3 audit-hermes-config.py /root/.hermes/config.yaml
 Exit codes:
    0 = all checks pass
    1 = one or more contract violations found
 This script encodes every rule from hermes-config-template.prose.md so config
 changes can be verified before and after application. It is the single automated
 enforcement layer for the prose contract.

  named "custom" — it is named "harness"), causing a fall-through to the generic resolution path
  (`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>`
  before and after any config change to catch this and all other rule violations.

  Weekly system-level maintenance for the Syslog inference fleet: OS package
  updates on the primary host, Docker image pulls for LiteLLM/SearXNG and other
  running containers, container restarts with health verification, post-update
  verification of every critical service (LiteLLM proxy, SearXNG, Zulip, Gitea,
  PM2 processes, Hermes gateways), and rollback on failure. Consolidates the
  raw shell scripts that previously did this piecemeal. This contract owns the
  HOST-LEVEL weekly maintenance loop on the primary host plus Docker image
  pulls ONLY for .116 and .7, while infrastructure-update owns the FULL-FLEET
  cluster-wide wave (apt across the full PVE cluster + CTs/VMs AND its Docker
  image Wave 3 across all stacks). Runs Sunday 2am ET. Owner:
  ops (firstmate secondmate). Blast radius: an unverified image pull can break
  LiteLLM (all agents lose inference) or SearXNG (search-stack down); a bad apt
  upgrade can leave the host in a half-upgraded state. Pre-update backup check
  and rollback are mandatory for this reason.
 agent: ops
 triggers:
  - weekly (Sunday 02:00 ET) via cron
  - on demand when ops/abiba triggers "infra maintenance"
 version: 1.0.0
 ---
 ## Maintains
 - maintenance-status: { phase: idle|preflight|apt|images|restarts|verify|rollback|done|failed, host, step, result, timestamp }
 - image-baseline: { service, current_tag, pulled_tag, digest, updated_at } — last known-good image per container
 - apt-state: { upgradable_before, upgradable_after, held_broken, kernel_reboot_required }
 - health-baseline: snapshot of critical-service health captured pre-update (used for regression check post-update)
 - rollback-snapshot: { backup_path, configs, image_digests, timestamp } — restore point created in preflight
 - maintenance-history: array of past runs with phase results and any escalations
 ## Scope
 Primary host is the maintenance host where apt updates apply. Docker image pulls
 span the two Docker ecosystems that run critical services. infrastructure-update
 runs the full-fleet cluster-wide wave (including its Wave 3 Docker pulls across
 all stacks/hosts); this contract runs a narrower host-level weekly pull limited
 to .116 and .7. Topology, CT IDs, and IPs are live-state fields — verify against
 `infrastructure-control.prose.md` (the source of truth) and the live system
 before mutating.
 | Host | IP | Role | Trust |
 |------|----|------|-------|
 | CT 116 (syslog-api) | 192.168.68.116 | LiteLLM proxy + Grafana + Prometheus (inference harness) | ⚠️ VERIFY-BEFORE-USE |
 | VM 109 (docker-vm) | 192.168.68.7 | SearXNG + Firecrawl + home stack (Docker host) | ⚠️ VERIFY-BEFORE-USE |
 | CT 117 (zulip) | 192.168.68.19 | Zulip (storepve bridge IP .19) | ⚠️ VERIFY-BEFORE-USE |
 | Gitea | https://git.sysloggh.net | Prose-contracts + agent configs source control | ⚠️ VERIFY-BEFORE-USE |
 | CT 100 (abiba/pi) | 192.168.68.24 | PM2 processes (pi agent harness) | ⚠️ VERIFY-BEFORE-USE |
 > "Primary host" for the apt phase is the host the ops agent runs maintenance
 > from. Confirm which host that is against infrastructure-control before
 > running; do not assume. If the ops agent is containerized/CT-based, apt runs
 > inside that CT.
 ## Requires
 - SSH/exec access to CT 116 (.116) and VM 109 (.7) for Docker operations
 - `apt`, `docker`, `docker compose` available on target hosts
 - LiteLLM master key available (Infisical vault, `LITELLM_API_KEY`) for health verification
 - `infrastructure-monitoring` run completed within the last 30 minutes — provides the pre-update health baseline used by the regression check
 - Writable backup directory `/tmp/infra-maintenance-backup-<date>/` on each mutated host
 - Proxmox snapshot of the primary host available (or confirmed not required) before apt phase
 ## Continuity
 - Self-driven: weekly cron `0 2 * * 0` (Sunday 02:00 ET)
 - Also wakes on: explicit "infra maintenance" trigger from ops/abiba
 - Depends on `infrastructure-monitoring` for the pre-update health baseline — do not run if the last monitoring run is stale (>30 min) or RED; abort and escalate instead
 ## Execution
 ### Phase 0 — Preflight (snapshot/backup check + health baseline)
 1. **Capture health baseline** — run the `infrastructure-monitoring` postcondition checks (LiteLLM, Zulip, Gitea, SearXNG, Proxmox API) and record results as `health-baseline`. If any critical service is already down, **abort**: maintenance must not run on a degraded fleet.
 2. **Backup check** — confirm a Proxmox snapshot of the primary host exists OR `/tmp/infra-maintenance-backup-<date>/` was created this run. Snapshot critical config files into the backup dir:
   - `/opt/inference-harness/docker-compose.yml`, `/opt/inference-harness/litellm_config.yaml` (CT 116)
   - `/opt/search-stack/searxng/docker-compose.yml`, `/opt/search-stack/firecrawl-source/docker-compose.yaml` (VM 109)
 3. **Record image baseline** — `docker inspect --format '{{.Image}} {{.Config.Image}}' <container>` for every running container on .116 and .7; store digests in `image-baseline` so rollback can restore them.
 4. **Disk check** — `df -h` on each mutated host; abort if free space <20% (apt upgrade + image pulls need headroom).
 ### Phase 1 — OS package updates (primary host)
 ```bash
 # On the primary host only (VERIFY host against infrastructure-control first)
 apt update
 apt upgrade -y
 ```
 - Capture `apt list --upgradable` before and after → store in `apt-state`.
 - If apt reports held/broken packages (`apt-get -s upgrade | grep -i broken`, or non-zero exit), **stop** — do not force. Record `held_broken` and go to rollback/escalate.
 - If `/var/run/reboot-required` exists after upgrade, flag `kernel_reboot_required: true` in `apt-state` but **do not reboot automatically** — that's a separate coordinated action (see infra-update Wave 4). Note it in the report.
 ### Phase 2 — Docker image pulls
 Pull latest stable tags for every running container. Do NOT pin to `:main`/`:nightly` — use stable tags where the compose file specifies them; otherwise `latest`.
 ```bash
 # CT 116 (.116) — inference harness
 cd /opt/inference-harness && docker compose pull
 # VM 109 (.7) — search + home stacks
 cd /opt/search-stack/searxng && docker compose pull
 cd /opt/search-stack/firecrawl-source && docker compose pull
 # any other running stacks on .7 (home stack, audiobookshelf) — pull per their compose files
 ```
 - LiteLLM and SearXNG are the two explicitly required pulls; "any other running containers" means every stack with a compose file on .116 and .7.
 - Record pulled tag + digest per service in `image-baseline`.
 ### Phase 3 — Container restarts with health verification
 Restart one stack at a time, verify health before moving to the next. Do not restart everything at once — a failure mid-wave must leave the rest running.
 ```bash
 # CT 116
 cd /opt/inference-harness && docker compose up -d
 # VM 109
 cd /opt/search-stack/searxng && docker compose up -d
 cd /opt/search-stack/firecrawl-source && docker compose up -d
 ```
 After each stack comes up, wait for health (max 120s):
 - `docker ps` shows the container `Up` (and `healthy` if a healthcheck is defined)
 - Service-specific probe passes (see Phase 4 probes)
 If a stack fails to come up within 120s, **stop the wave** and go to rollback for that stack only; do not proceed to the next.
 ### Phase 4 — Post-update service verification
 After ALL updates (apt + images + restarts), verify every critical service is back up and matches the pre-update baseline. This is the regression gate.
 | Service | Probe | Expect |
 |---------|-------|--------|
 | LiteLLM proxy | `curl -sf http://192.168.68.116/litellm/v1/models` | 200 OK, models returned |
 | LiteLLM MCP gateway | `curl -sf http://192.168.68.116:4000/mcp-rest/tools/list -H "Authorization: Bearer $MASTER_KEY"` | 90 tools (23 RA-H OS + 67 GitHub) |
 | SearXNG | `curl -sf http://192.168.68.7:8888` | 200 OK |
 | Zulip | `curl -sf https://chat.sysloggh.net/api/v1/server_settings` | 200 OK |
 | Gitea | `curl -sf https://git.sysloggh.net/api/v1/version` | 200 OK |
 | PM2 processes | `pm2 jlist` (CT 100) | all pi-agent processes `online` |
 | Hermes gateways | SSH to Mumuni CT 114, Tanko CT 112; `systemctl is-active hermes-gateway` | `active` for each |
 Regression check: every service that was GREEN in `health-baseline` must still be GREEN. A service that was already RED (and caused a preflight abort) is excluded — but Phase 0 should have aborted before we got here.
 ## Rollback Protocol
 If ANY service in Phase 4 fails to come back up (or regresses vs baseline):
 1. **Image rollback** — for the failing stack, restore the previous image:
   ```bash
   # Restore from recorded image-baseline digest
   docker compose down
   # Pin the service image to the recorded digest in compose, then recreate
   #   image: <name>@sha256:<previous_digest>
   docker compose pull && docker compose up -d
   ```
 2. **APT rollback** — restore the primary host from the Proxmox snapshot taken/confirmed in Phase 0. If no snapshot, `apt install <pkg>=<old_version>` per package using apt history (`/var/log/apt/history.log`).
 3. **Config rollback** — restore configs from `/tmp/infra-maintenance-backup-<date>/`.
 4. **Re-verify** — re-run the Phase 4 probes on the rolled-back service. If still failing, escalate (do not loop — circuit breaker below).
 5. **Escalate** — send a Zulip DM to abiba + mumuni with: failing service, phase, baseline vs current, rollback actions taken, backup path.
 ## Circuit Breaker
 - `max_retries: 2` per failing phase — after 2 rollback attempts on the same service, stop and escalate.
 - `window: 7200` seconds — no more than 2 retries within a 2-hour window.
 - `trip_action: escalate_to_fatal` — when tripped, escalate to fatal (abiba + mumuni + kwame) and pause; a human must clear before the next scheduled run.
 ## Report
 After completion (or on abort), emit a receipt (JSON) to `~/.hermes/runs/infrastructure-maintenance/` and send a Zulip DM summary:
 ```
 🛠 Infrastructure Maintenance — YYYY-MM-DD
 Phase: apt | images | restarts | verify | rollback
 Primary host: <host>
 APT: <N> packages upgraded, <M> held/broken, kernel_reboot_required=<bool>
 Images pulled: LiteLLM <tag>, SearXNG <tag>, <others>
 Services: all GREEN | <service> FAILED (rolled back)
 Baseline regression: none | <details>
 Backup: /tmp/infra-maintenance-backup-YYYYMMDD/
 Escalation: none | warning | critical | fatal
 ```
 ## Verification Postconditions
 - All critical services running after update (Phase 4 all GREEN)
 - No regressions from pre-update health baseline (Phase 0 baseline)
 - Docker containers on latest stable tags (`image-baseline.pulled_tag` recorded)
 - APT packages up to date with no held broken packages (`apt-state.held_broken == 0`)
 ## Related Contracts
 - `infrastructure-update.prose.md` — owns the full-fleet cluster-wide wave INCLUDING its Wave 3 Docker image updates across all stacks (SearXNG, Firecrawl, Inference Harness on .116, home stack, audiobookshelf); infrastructure-maintenance is a deliberately narrower host-level weekly pull scoped to .116 and .7.
 - `infrastructure-monitoring.prose.md` — provides the pre-update health baseline (depends_on).
 - `infrastructure-control.prose.md` — topology source of truth (CT IDs, IPs, hostnames).
 - `litellm-health.prose.md` — LiteLLM probe details.
 - `proxmox-monitor.prose.md` — Docker stats + monitoring stack health.

 ```
 > 50% fail rate → critical.
 **B4.5: LiteLLM Key Injection Verification**
 Check gateway logs for `no-key-required` failure pattern (indicates the
 cli_agent_setup_mixin.py patch is missing):
 ```bash
 ssh root@<CT> "grep -c 'no-key-required' /root/.hermes/logs/gateway.log 2>/dev/null || echo 0"
 # pct exec variant for Koonimo/Koby:
 ssh root@192.168.68.15 "pct exec 113 -- grep -c 'no-key-required' /root/.hermes/logs/gateway.log 2>/dev/null || echo 0"
 ssh root@192.168.68.15 "pct exec 111 -- grep -c 'no-key-required' /root/.hermes/logs/gateway.log 2>/dev/null || echo 0"
 ```
 If > 0 → flag `no_key_required_count: <count>`, note as degraded — provider
 requests silently fall back to `no-key-required` when LITELLM_API_KEY env var
 resolves empty.
 **B5: Telegram Adapter Health**
 Check Telegram connectivity in gateway state or logs:
 ```bash
 # From gateway_state.json (all agents):
 ssh root@<CT> "cat ~/.hermes/gateway_state.json | python3 -c 'import json,sys;d=json.load(sys.stdin);print(d[\"platforms\"].get(\"telegram\",{}).get(\"state\",\"missing\"))'"
 # pct exec variant for Koonimo/Koby (cat the file; read platforms.telegram.state):
 ssh root@192.168.68.15 "pct exec 113 -- cat /root/.hermes/gateway_state.json"
 ssh root@192.168.68.15 "pct exec 111 -- cat /root/.hermes/gateway_state.json"
 # From logs (check for stuck DNS resolution):
 ssh root@<CT> "grep -E 'Telegram.*Connecting|Telegram.*Connected|attempt 1/8' /root/.hermes/logs/gateway.log | tail -5"
 ssh root@192.168.68.15 "pct exec 113 -- grep -E 'Telegram.*Connecting|Telegram.*Connected|attempt 1/8' /root/.hermes/logs/gateway.log | tail -5"
 ssh root@192.168.68.15 "pct exec 111 -- grep -E 'Telegram.*Connecting|Telegram.*Connected|attempt 1/8' /root/.hermes/logs/gateway.log | tail -5"
 ```
 Telegram states: `connected` ✅ | `disconnected` ❌ | `retrying` ⚠️ | `fatal` ❌ | `paused` ⚠️
 If stuck on "attempt 1/8" for > 60s → flag Telegram as degraded (Zulip may
 still be fine — do NOT treat as Zulip outage).
 **B6: cli_agent_setup_mixin.py Patch Verification**
 Check whether the `no-key-required` fallback string exists without the
 LiteLLM-specific guard (only needed when LiteLLM key injection failures are
 suspected). A bare count of the fallback string cannot distinguish a guarded
 occurrence from an unguarded one, so count both the fallback string and the
 LiteLLM guard token:
 ```bash
 ssh root@<CT> "f=\$(grep -c 'no-key-required' /usr/local/lib/hermes-agent/hermes_cli/cli_agent_setup_mixin.py 2>/dev/null || echo 0); g=\$(grep -c 'LITELLM_API_KEY' /usr/local/lib/hermes-agent/hermes_cli/cli_agent_setup_mixin.py 2>/dev/null || echo 0); echo fallback=\$f guard=\$g"
 # pct exec variant:
 ssh root@192.168.68.15 "pct exec 113 -- bash -c 'f=\$(grep -c no-key-required /usr/local/lib/hermes-agent/hermes_cli/cli_agent_setup_mixin.py 2>/dev/null || echo 0); g=\$(grep -c LITELLM_API_KEY /usr/local/lib/hermes-agent/hermes_cli/cli_agent_setup_mixin.py 2>/dev/null || echo 0); echo fallback=\$f guard=\$g'"
 ssh root@192.168.68.15 "pct exec 111 -- bash -c 'f=\$(grep -c no-key-required /usr/local/lib/hermes-agent/hermes_cli/cli_agent_setup_mixin.py 2>/dev/null || echo 0); g=\$(grep -c LITELLM_API_KEY /usr/local/lib/hermes-agent/hermes_cli/cli_agent_setup_mixin.py 2>/dev/null || echo 0); echo fallback=\$f guard=\$g'"
 ```
 If `fallback > 0` and `guard == 0` → the fallback string is present without
 the LiteLLM-specific guard, so the patch is missing. If unsure, inspect each
 occurrence with `grep -n -B2 -A2 'no-key-required'` to confirm the guard
 wraps it.
 **Platform B Actions**
 | Condition | Action |
 |-----------|--------|
-| `zulip.state != "connected"` | Restart gateway (see B2 restart commands below) |
+| `zulip.state != "connected"` | `ssh root@<CT> "pkill -f 'gateway run'; sleep 2; hermes gateway restart"` |
-| No heartbeat in 10min | Restart gateway |
+| No heartbeat in 10min | Same as above |
 | `Failed to finalize` > 50% | Check PATCH API, Zulip server |
 | Response empty/short | Check A2A endpoint / LiteLLM model |
 | `infisical_present: false` | Flag as degraded — log and alert; do NOT auto-restart via the standard command (it cannot inject the key without infisical). Operator may use the Infisical-missing fallback restart below. |
 | `config_valid: false` | Flag as degraded — alert user, gateway running on stale config |
 | Stale pid/lock files detected | Clean files before restart |
 | `no_key_required_count > 0` | Flag as degraded — check LITELLM_API_KEY injection |
 | Telegram stuck on attempt 1/8 | Flag Telegram as degraded, no Zulip action needed |
 **Restart Commands**
 Standard restart (Infisical present):
 ```bash
 ssh root@<CT> "pkill -f 'gateway run'; sleep 2; hermes gateway restart"
 # pct exec variant:
 ssh root@192.168.68.15 "pct exec 113 -- bash -c 'pkill -f \"gateway run\"; sleep 2; systemctl restart hermes-gateway'"
 ssh root@192.168.68.15 "pct exec 111 -- bash -c 'pkill -f \"gateway run\"; sleep 2; systemctl restart hermes-gateway'"
 ```
 The mechanisms differ by design: Tanko/Mumuni launch the gateway through a
 wrapper loop, so the `hermes gateway restart` CLI is the correct entry point
 (it re-arms the wrapper). Koonimo/Koby run the gateway as a systemd unit
 (`hermes-gateway.service`), so `systemctl restart hermes-gateway` is the
 correct entry point under `pct exec`. Do not swap the two — using the CLI on
 Koonimo/Koby would bypass the unit, and using `systemctl` on Tanko/Mumuni
 would miss the wrapper loop.
 Fallback: Infisical missing → start gateway directly from venv with env vars:
 ```bash
 ssh root@<CT> "source /usr/local/lib/hermes-agent/venv/bin/activate && \
  export LITELLM_API_KEY=\$(grep -E '^LITELLM_API_KEY=' /root/.hermes/.env | cut -d= -f2-) && \

  cd /root/.hermes && nohup hermes gateway run > logs/gateway-manual-start.log 2>&1 &"
 # pct exec variant:

 ## History
 ### v3.1.0 (2026-07-23) — Koonimo Outage Lessons
 Added Koonimo (CT 113) and Koby (CT 111) to Platform B monitoring.
 Added Infisical dependency check, config YAML validation, stale PID/lock
 detection, Telegram adapter health, LiteLLM key injection verification, and
 cli_agent_setup_mixin.py patch verification. Updated restart commands with
 Infisical-missing fallback path.
 ### Gen 5 (2026-07-02) — Rate Limit Death Spiral Fix
 **Root Cause**: Proactive Queue Rotation at 25 min triggered queue re-registration every cycle. Each re-registration + retry loop (3 attempts) + monitor restart = 8-12 API calls per cycle. Combined with monitor's own API calls (server check, stream alerts), `abiba-bot` hit Zulip's rate limit (429 RATE_LIMIT_HIT). Each restart reset the cycle, creating a death spiral: 111 restarts in 24 hours.

 ## Incident Log — 2026-07-18 Fleet-Wide Audit
 ### Fleet State After Audit
 | Agent | Platform | Zulip State | Issues Found | Fix Applied |
 |-------|----------|-------------|--------------|-------------|
 | **Abiba** | pi (CT 100) | ✅ Connected | API key missing from Infisical injection; poll timeout noise | Added .env fallback; AbortError treated as empty poll (no retry); poll timeout 65s→90s |
 | **Tanko** | Hermes (CT 112) | ✅ Connected | Gateway disconnected since Jul 11; watchdog restart didn't re-establish Zulip | Full gateway restart (kill wrapper, let infisical-gateway.sh respawn) |
 | **Mumuni** | Hermes (CT 114) | ✅ Connected | No issues found | None needed |
 ### Key Fixes Applied
 **1. Abiba — Credential Fallback (L4 Pattern)**
 - Root cause: `zulip.api_key` in config.yaml is `""` (expected from Infisical). Infisical vault `ABIBA_ZULIP_API_KEY` wasn't being injected into the process environment.
 - Fix: Added `.env` file fallback at `/root/.pi/agent/extensions/zulip/.env` with known-working key, sourced before the Infisical `exec`.
 - Lesson: Per L4 from gpu-self-heal, Infisical is not always available — always keep a local `.env` fallback.
 **2. Abiba — Poll Timeout Handling**
 - Root cause: Zulip long-poll uses `AbortSignal.timeout(65000)`. Zulip's default `event_queue_longpoll_timeout_seconds` can exceed 65s. When the signal fires, an `AbortError` is thrown and caught by the circuit breaker as a failure.
 - Fix: Caught `AbortError` inside `poll()` and return empty array (no events) instead of throwing. Extended timeout to 90s to match Zulip server default.
 - Reference: [Zulip Events System — long-poll timeout](https://zulip.readthedocs.io/en/11.6/subsystems/events-system.html)
 **3. Tanko — Gateway Restart**
 - Root cause: Gateway process was running but Zulip platform stayed in "disconnected" state since Jul 11, 2026. The wrapper script (`infisical-gateway.sh`) restarts on crash but the gateway wasn't re-establishing Zulip on restart.
 - Fix: Killed gateway PID to trigger wrapper restart. New gateway (PID 331991) established Zulip connection successfully.
 ### Fleet-Wide Zulip Health Metrics (as of 2026-07-18)
 | Metric | Value |
 |--------|-------|
 | Zulip server | ✅ HTTP 200 |
 | Agents connected | 3/3 (Abiba, Tanko, Mumuni) |
 | Abiba circuit breaker | CLOSED (0 failures) |
 | Abiba uptime | 2D (post-restart) |
 | Tanko gateway uptime | Ongoing |
 | Mumuni gateway uptime | Ongoing |
 | Watchdog status | ✅ Online (2D uptime) |
 ### Hermes Agent Zulip Plugin Improvements
 Based on the audit, improvements that should be ported to all Hermes Zulip adapters:
 1. **Circuit breaker pattern** — Already in Abiba's pi extension. Hermes adapters should add the same CLOSED→OPEN→HALF_OPEN state machine with exponential backoff.
 2. **Credential fallback** — All Hermes agents use Infisical for credentials. Add `.env` local fallback per L4 pattern for `ZULIP_API_KEY`.
 3. **Queue re-registration** — Handle `BAD_EVENT_QUEUE_ID` with automatic re-registration instead of gateway restart.
 4. **Supervisor watchdog** — Hermes uses PM2 which auto-restarts on crash, but has no health-check watchdog. Add lightweight external health checks.
 5. **Streaming** — All agents have `streaming: true` in their zulip config. Verify `edit_message()` is implemented in each adapter.
