- Replaced <pve-api> placeholder with actual Proxmox API endpoint
- Replaced <service-endpoints> with actual service URLs in infrastructure-monitoring
- Replaced vague 'send test DM' with actual API call in zulip-health
- Added 3 postconditions to hermes-agent-baseline (was empty)
- Simplified verify commands in hermes-config-template and hermes-agent-baseline
- Updated provision-cron-jobs.py to match actual registry schema for:
  - Circuit breaker: max_retries, trip_action, window
  - Escalation: severity levels (info/warning/critical/fatal)
  - DAG: depends_on array

All 10 scheduled contracts now pass validation.

Maps all 28 prose contracts to enforcement categories (compliance, monitoring,
remediation, build/deploy, maintenance, reference). Each entry includes:
- Trigger mechanism (scheduled, event-driven, passive, on-demand)
- Execution protocol (agent, timeout, requires, SOP)
- Verification postconditions with commands
- Receipt format and storage
- Escalation tiers (info/warning/critical/fatal)
- Circuit breaker configuration
- Dependency resolution (DAG)
- Last run status tracking

MVP targets: hermes-key-enforcement (compliance) and proxmox-monitor
(monitored → disk-gc-threat-response remediation)

# Abiba Zulip Restore — Resume pi Zulip Communication
Single-shot function that restores full Zulip connectivity for the Abiba pi agent.
Covers extension code validation, PM2 process management, health endpoint
verification, and DM loopback testing.

| Field | Value | Trust |
|-------|-------|-------|
| Agent name | abiba | ✅ |
| Bot email | abiba-bot@chat.sysloggh.net | ✅ |

## Architecture
The pi Zulip extension uses a **router-worker architecture** (v2):
- **Router** (PM2 `abiba-zulip`, `ZULIP_ROLE=router`): Polls Zulip for events,
maintains a per-sender pool of pi RPC worker processes. Each sender gets
their own `pi --mode rpc --session-dir` process with persistent sessions.
Handles streaming edits back to Zulip.
- **Worker** (child `pi --mode rpc`): Runs the agent with per-sender persistent
sessions. No Zulip logic in the worker — the router handles all Zulip I/O.
The extension loads in ALL pi sessions (via `settings.json` extensions array)
but is a **NO-OP** unless `ZULIP_ROLE=router` is set. Only the PM2 router process
carries the env var.
## Maintains
- extension_valid: bool — Extension code imports without errors
- pm2_running: bool — PM2 process `abiba-zulip` is online
- health_responding: bool — GET :9200/health returns "ok"
- zulip_connected: bool — Queue registered, bot identity resolved
- loopback_delivered: bool — Test DM sent and received
- model_valid: bool — Configured models match LiteLLM authorized models
### Postconditions
- PM2 process `abiba-zulip` online and stable (uptime > 30s)
- Health endpoint returns `{ status: "ok", connected: true }`
- Worker pool creates sessions on demand
- Echo prevention active (BOT_EMAILS includes all known bots)
- PM2 saved for auto-restart on boot
## Requires
- Node.js with `yaml` module available
- PM2 installed globally
- Zulip API key in `config.yaml`
- `pi` CLI available on PATH
- Zulip server accessible at https://chat.sysloggh.net
- LiteLLM provider accessible at http://192.168.68.116/v1
## Execution
### Step 1: Validate Extension Code
```bash
node -e "import('file:///root/.pi/agent/extensions/zulip/index.js').then(() => console.log('OK')).catch(e => {console.error('FAIL:', e.message); process.exit(1)})"
```
Expected: `OK`. If FAIL → check for missing dependencies, syntax errors.
### Step 2: Validate Model IDs
Compare configured models against LiteLLM authorized models:
```bash
API_KEY=$(grep -oP 'apiKey:\s*\K.*' /root/.pi/agent/models.json | head -1)
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY" http://192.168.68.116/v1/models | \
python3 -c "import json,sys; d=json.load(sys.stdin); [print(m['id']) for m in d.get('data',[])]" 2>/dev/null
```
Check: Every model ID in `models.json` must appear in the authorized list.
If not → fix `models.json` to only include authorized models (prefer `syslog-auto`).
### Step 3: Verify Config Integrity
```bash
python3 -c "
import yaml, sys
with open('/root/.pi/agent/extensions/zulip/config.yaml') as f:
cfg = yaml.safe_load(f)
required = ['zulip.site', 'zulip.email', 'zulip.api_key', 'agent.name']
for k in required:
keys = k.split('.')
v = cfg
for kk in keys:
v = v.get(kk)
if v is None:
print(f'MISSING: {k}')
sys.exit(1)
print('Config valid')
print(f' site={cfg[\"zulip\"][\"site\"]}')
print(f' email={cfg[\"zulip\"][\"email\"]}')
print(f' agent={cfg[\"agent\"][\"name\"]}')
print(f' health_port={cfg.get(\"health_port\", 9200)}')
"
```
Expected: Config valid with all fields non-empty.
### Step 4: Remove Stale Systemd Service
The old `abiba-zulip.service` points to `/opt/abiba-zulip/dist/index.js` (compiled
TypeScript, not the v2 extension). It's disabled and stale. Remove it:
```bash
systemctl stop abiba-zulip 2>/dev/null || true
systemctl disable abiba-zulip 2>/dev/null || true
rm -f /etc/systemd/system/abiba-zulip.service
systemctl daemon-reload
```
### Step 5: Start PM2 Process
**Critical:** The extension MUST run via `pi --mode rpc`, NOT `node index.js` directly.
The extension exports a function that requires pi's session lifecycle. Running
`node index.js` loads the module but never calls the export, so nothing happens.
`pi --mode rpc` loads all extensions (including Zulip) and fires `session_start`.
```bash
# Stop existing if any
pm2 delete abiba-zulip 2>/dev/null || true
# Start pi in RPC mode with ZULIP_ROLE=router env
ZULIP_ROLE=router pm2 start "$(which pi)" \
--name abiba-zulip \
--interpreter none \
-- --mode rpc --no-session
```
Wait 10 seconds for pi to load all extensions, fire session_start, and the Zulip
router to register its event queue.
### Step 6: Validate PM2 Process
```bash
pm2 show abiba-zulip --no-color
```
Check: `status=online`, `restarts=0`, `uptime > 5s`.
### Step 7: Check Logs for Connection
```bash
sleep 3
tail -20 /root/.pm2/logs/abiba-zulip-out.log
```
Look for:
- `[zulip-ext] Connecting to https://chat.sysloggh.net as abiba-bot@chat.sysloggh.net…`
- `[zulip-ext] Bot user_id=N, all-bots user_id=N`
- `[zulip-ext] Connected, queue=N`
- `[zulip-ext] Echo prevention: N bot emails`
- `[zulip-ext] Health endpoint on :9200`
If error → check API key, network to chat.sysloggh.net.
### Step 8: Health Endpoint
```bash
curl -s http://localhost:9200/health | python3 -m json.tool
```
Check:
- `status: "ok"` (not "down")
- `zulip.connected: true`
- `zulip.queue_id` is non-null string
- `zulip.bot_user_id` is positive integer
### Step 9: DM Loopback Test
```bash
curl -s http://localhost:9200/health | python3 -c "
import json,sys
d = json.load(sys.stdin)
if d.get('zulip',{}).get('connected'):
print(f'✅ Zulip connected. Queue: {d[\"zulip\"][\"queue_id\"]}')
print(f' Bot user_id: {d[\"zulip\"][\"bot_user_id\"]}')
print(f' Messages processed: {d[\"zulip\"][\"messages_processed\"]}')
else:
print('❌ Zulip NOT connected')
sys.exit(1)
"
```
### Step 10: Save PM2 for Auto-Start
```bash
pm2 save
pm2 startup systemd -u root --hp /root 2>/dev/null || true
```
### Step 11: Report
Compile results:
| Check | Pass? |
|-------|-------|
| Extension code imports | extension_valid |
| Model IDs authorized | model_valid |
| Config integrity | config_valid |
| PM2 process online | pm2_running |
| Health endpoint | health_responding |
| Zulip connected | zulip_connected |
All pass → ✅ **Abiba Zulip restored.** Relay success to user.
Partial failure → see recovery matrix below.
## Recovery Matrix
| Failure | Recovery |
|---------|----------|
| Extension import fails | Check `node_modules/zulip-js` exists; run `npm install` in extension dir |
| Model ID mismatch | Fix `models.json` to use `syslog-auto` as default model; remove invalid IDs |
| Config missing | Restore from backup or recreate from scratch |
| PM2 won't start | Check `node` version (>=18); check port 9200 not in use |
| Health "down" | Check logs for connection errors; verify Zulip API key; check network |
| "address already in use" | Kill old process: `fuser -k 9200/tcp` |
| Queue registration fails | Check Zulip API key validity; verify bot is active in Zulip admin |
| Rate limit (429) | Extension has built-in retry-after handling — wait, don't restart |
## Known Failure Modes
| Symptom | Root Cause | Recovery |
|---------|-----------|----------|
| Extension loads but no events | `ZULIP_ROLE` not set | Ensure PM2 env has `ZULIP_ROLE=router` |
| Worker stays "busy" forever | Model ID not authorized by LiteLLM | Fix models.json (lesson #11) |
| Placeholder sent but no response | editMessage API fails silently | Extension has fallback (sends new msg); check Zulip API |
| Queue expires rapidly | Poll interval too aggressive | v2 uses 3s poll with long-poll — should be fine |
| Bot doesn't respond to @mentions | Not subscribed to stream | Bot auto-subscribes via API |
| Stale error in health | `last_error` not cleared | v2 clears on successful poll (lesson #4) |
## Appendix: Root Cause & Fix Summary (2026-07-13)
**Problem:** Zulip extension was offline — no PM2 process running.
**Root cause:** The PM2 command ran `node index.js` directly (which loads the
extension module but never calls the exported function). The extension requires
pi's session lifecycle — pi loads extensions, fires `session_start`, and the
Zulip extension hooks into that event.
**Fix:** Run `pi --mode rpc` (not `node index.js`). The `--mode rpc` flag keeps
pi alive listening for RPC commands on stdin while the Zulip extension's router
runs in the background via the `session_start` hook.
```bash
ZULIP_ROLE=router pm2 start "$(which pi)" --name abiba-zulip \
--interpreter none -- --mode rpc --no-session
```
**Additional fixes applied:**
- Fixed `models.json`: replaced `qwen3.6-35B-A3B` (not authorized by LiteLLM)
with `syslog-auto` + `strix-moe` (prevents silent worker failure per
Lesson #11)
- Removed stale systemd unit `abiba-zulip.service` (pointed to old TS code)
- PM2 saved for auto-restart on boot
## Appendix: PM2 Ecosystem Config (Optional)
If preferred over manual `pm2 start`, create `/root/ecosystem.config.js` entry:
```js
module.exports = {
apps: [{
name: 'abiba-zulip',
script: '/bin/pi',
interpreter: 'none',
args: '--mode rpc --no-session',
cwd: '/root',
env: {
ZULIP_ROLE: 'router',
},
log_file: '/root/.pm2/logs/abiba-zulip-out.log',
error_file: '/root/.pm2/logs/abiba-zulip-error.log',
max_restarts: 20,
restart_delay: 5000,
}]
};
```

# Agent Zero Issue Fix Summary
**Date**: 2026-09-01
**Agent**: Agent Zero (Docker container on kagentz CT105)
**Issue**: AuthenticationError + Telegram conflicts
**Status**: ✅ RESOLVED
---
## Problems Identified
### 1. OpenRouter Authentication Error (CRITICAL)
```
litellm.exceptions.AuthenticationError: OpenrouterException -
{"error":{"message":"User not found.","code":401}}
```
**Root Cause**: The OpenRouter API key in `/a0/usr/.env` belonged to a different OpenRouter user.
**Old Key**: `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`
**New Key**: `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`
**New User**: `user_2rt9lCqcd5d7Vk1t18DHsvWdPTT`
### 2. Telegram Bot Conflict (CRITICAL)
```
TelegramConflictError: Conflict: terminated by other getUpdates request
```
**Root Cause**: Two Telegram bot instances were competing for the same token:
1. Agent Zero's built-in Telegram plugin (`/a0/usr/plugins/_telegram_integration/config.json`)
2. Standalone Telegram poller scripts (`/a0/usr/projects/telegram/telegram_bot.py`)
Both were using token `8476855065:***` in polling mode.
**Fix**: Disabled the built-in Telegram plugin by setting `"enabled": false` in the config.
### 3. MCP Service Connectivity Issues (SEVERE)
```
McpError: Timed out while waiting for response to ClientRequest. Waited 10.0 seconds.
```
**Root Cause**: The OpenRouter 401 errors caused the agent to fail, which in turn caused MCP services to timeout.
**Status**: ✅ RESOLVED with OpenRouter key fix.
---
## Fixes Applied
### Fix 1: Update OpenRouter Key
```bash
# Container .env update
sudo docker exec agent-zero bash -c '
sed -i "s|^API_KEY_OPENROUTER=.*|API_KEY_OPENROUTER=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|" /a0/usr/.env
'
```
**Verification**:
```bash
curl -s https://openrouter.ai/api/v1/auth/key \
-H "Authorization: Bearer sk-or-v1-0af3f3..." | python3 -m json.tool
```
Result: HTTP 200, user `user_2rt9lCqcd5d7Vk1t18DHsvWdPTT`, not free tier.
### Fix 2: Disable Telegram Plugin
```bash
sudo docker exec agent-zero bash -c '
python3 << "PYEOF"
import json
config_path = "/a0/usr/plugins/_telegram_integration/config.json"
with open(config_path) as f:
config = json.load(f)
config["bots"][0]["enabled"] = False
with open(config_path, "w") as f:
json.dump(config, f, indent=2)
print("✓ Disabled telegram plugin @kagentz_bot")
PYEOF
'
```
### Fix 3: Restart Agent Zero UI
```bash
sudo docker exec agent-zero supervisorctl restart run_ui
```
**Result**: Process restarted (PID 3320), services running.
### Fix 4: Full Container Restart (Required)
```bash
sudo docker restart agent-zero
```
**Why needed**: The `run_ui` process was caching the old API key in memory. A full container restart was required to force Agent Zero to reload the `.env` file with the new OpenRouter key.
**Result**: All services restarted cleanly, no more 401 errors.
### Fix 5: Update Stale `.env.clobbered-by-new-image` (Critical)
**Root cause**: Agent Zero was loading the key from `/a0/usr/.env.clobbered-by-new-image` (line 28) instead of the main `/a0/usr/.env` (line 72). The clobbered file still had the old, stale key.
**Fix**:
```bash
KEY=$(grep "^API_KEY_OPENROUTER=" /a0/usr/.env | cut -d"=" -f2-)
sed -i "s|^API_KEY_OPENROUTER=.*|API_KEY_OPENROUTER=$KEY|" /a0/usr/.env.clobbered-by-new-image
```
**Lesson**: When updating Agent Zero's `.env`, check BOTH files:
- `/a0/usr/.env` (main)
- `/a0/usr/.env.clobbered-by-new-image` (backup, but loaded by Agent Zero)
The clobbered file is the one Agent Zero actually uses for LLM calls.

---
## Next Steps
1. **Sync key to Infisical vault** (optional, currently .env fallback only)
2. **Monitor usage** — Check OpenRouter dashboard for daily/weekly spend
3. **Consider LiteLLM migration** — Long-term: convert Agent Zero to use LiteLLM proxy for fleet-standard key management
4. **Set up vault sync** — Create machine identity in Infisical for automated key rotation
---
## Prevention
To prevent similar issues:
1. **Always verify API keys** against their providers before using
2. **Keep fleet-wide key inventory** updated in prose contracts
3. **Rotate keys on schedule** (quarterly hygiene, not on-demand only)
4. **Test key changes** in staging before production rollout
5. **Document key locations** in both code and prose contracts

- vault_synced: boolean — Whether the key is in the Infisical vault
- container_updated: boolean — Whether the container's .env was updated
- verification: { status: string, detail: string } — Health check result
## Execution
### 1. Verify the key
1. **Extract key from container**
```bash
sudo docker exec agent-zero grep '^API_KEY_OPENROUTER' /a0/usr/.env | cut -d'=' -f2-
```
2. **Test against OpenRouter API**
```bash
curl -s https://openrouter.ai/api/v1/auth/key \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <key>" | python3 -m json.tool
```
Expected: HTTP 200, JSON with `data.label` and `data.is_free_tier`
3. **Check vault sync**
```bash
infisical secrets get OPENROUTER_API_KEY \
--token=$(cat ~/.infisical-token) \
--projectId=agents \
--env=production \
--domain=https://vault.sysloggh.net
```
4. **Return status**
- If all checks pass: `{ key_status: "valid", key_prefix: "sk-or-v1-0af", user_id: "user_2rt9lCqcd5d7Vk1t18DHsvWdPTT" }`
- If OpenRouter returns 401: `{ key_status: "invalid", detail: "User not found" }`
- If vault secret is missing: `{ vault_synced: false }`
### 2. Rotate the key
1. **Generate new key** in OpenRouter UI or via API
2. **Update container .env**
```bash
sudo docker exec agent-zero sed -i 's/^API_KEY_OPENROUTER=.*/API_KEY_OPENROUTER=<new_key>/' /a0/usr/.env
```
3. **Update Infisical vault**
```bash
infisical secrets set OPENROUTER_API_KEY=<new_key> \
--token=$(cat ~/.infisical-token) \
--projectId=agents \
--env=production \
--domain=https://vault.sysloggh.net
```
4. **Restart Agent Zero UI**
```bash
sudo docker exec agent-zero supervisorctl restart run_ui
```
5. **Verify** — Run "verify" action again
### 3. Update (key changed but no rotation)
1. **Update container .env** (same as rotate step 2)
2. **Sync vault** (same as rotate step 3)
3. **Restart run_ui** (same as rotate step 4)
## Current Key Inventory
| Field | Value |
|-------|-------|
| **Key Prefix** | `sk-or-v1-0af3f3` |
| **Full Key** | `«redacted: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»` (in vault + /a0/usr/.env) |
| **OpenRouter User** | `user_2rt9lCqcd5d7Vk1t18DHsvWdPTT` |
| **Free Tier** | No |
| **Monthly Usage** | 0 (as of 2026-09-01) |
| **Last Verified** | 2026-09-01 |
| **Vault Sync** | ⏳ Pending (service token not on kagentz) |
## Key Rotation Log
| Date | Action | Notes |
|------|--------|-------|
| 2026-09-01 | fix-401 | Old key `sk-or-v1-036e5ca5…` returned 401 "User not found". Replaced with new key `sk-or-v1-0af3f3…` for user `user_2rt9lCqcd5d7Vk1t18DHsvWdPTT`. Verified OpenRouter 200. Container .env updated, run_ui restarted. |
## Infrastructure References
- **Docker container**: `agent-zero` (image: `agent0ai/agent-zero:latest`)
- **Host**: kagentz (192.168.68.14, Proxmox LXC CT105)
- **Volume**: `/var/lib/docker/volumes/agent_zero/_data` → `/a0/usr`
- **Config path**: `/a0/usr/.env` (line ~72: `API_KEY_OPENROUTER=…`)
- **Model preset**: "Cost Efficient" (uses `openrouter/moonshotai/kimi-k3`)
- **Model config**: `/a0/usr/plugins/_model_config/config.json`
## Verification Before Acting
**Key is a lead, not a fact.** Live OpenRouter accounts can change (user deletion,
plan change, key revocation). Before acting on this contract:
1. Verify the key against OpenRouter's `/auth/key` endpoint
2. Check the user ID matches the expected account
3. Confirm the model `moonshotai/kimi-k3` is available on that account's plan
4. Only then update the vault and container
## Related Contracts
- `litellm-api-keys.prose.md` — LiteLLM key management (Agent Zero does NOT use LiteLLM for OpenRouter)
- `infrastructure-control.prose.md` — Proxmox topology, container locations
- `gpu-fleet.prose.md` — Fleet-wide agent key inventory (add Agent Zero here)

# The Hermes Playbook — getting real mileage out of the harness
Prepared for Scot (Syslog Solution LLC). Version: Hermes Agent v0.21.1. Every CLI command below was verified live against that version on a reference install (Syslog kagentz) on 2026-09-11; anything only confirmed against the official docs is tagged DOC-ONLY.
You are already running Hermes next to Claude Code, on your own OpenRouter account with fast models (qwen3.8-flash, deepseek-4-flash). The question you asked: why does Hermes feel like it has less context, and what do I do about it?
---
## 1. TL;DR
- The context gap is not a bug. Claude Code reads the repo it sits in on every launch; a fresh Hermes install starts nearly empty by design. It gets its context from files you seed and from memory it builds over time.
- One command closes most of the gap on day one: `hermes import-agent claude-code` carries your CLAUDE.md instructions, MCP servers, skills, and memories into Hermes (preview first with `--dry-run`).
- Teach Hermes once, and it remembers: "save this as a skill" after any workflow you repeat. Skills auto-load when a matching task comes up — that is the learning loop.
- Keep per-project context in an `AGENTS.md` in the repo root (git-tracked, shared with your team) and personal preferences in your persona file and persistent memory.
- Hermes and Claude Code are not rivals: let Hermes be the always-on orchestrator (research, briefs, scheduling, messaging) and hand heavy coding to Claude Code, which Hermes can drive directly.
---
## 2. Why Hermes feels like it has less context (and why that is fixable)
Honest comparison, no spin:
| | Claude Code | Hermes (fresh install) |
|---|---|---|
| Where context comes from | The repo: `CLAUDE.md` auto-loaded every launch; `.claude/` folders with subagents, slash commands, hooks, skills | Config files: `AGENTS.md` in the working directory + `SOUL.md` persona + persistent memory from the Hermes home |
| What it remembers between sessions | `~/.claude/projects/<project>/memory/` (25 KB cap) | First-class persistent memory, always injected — `MEMORY.md` / `USER.md` plus optional external providers |
| How it learns your workflows | You write the skill/command files | It can write its own skills after learning a workflow, and a curator maintains them |
| Out-of-the-box feel | Context-rich if you have invested in your CLAUDE.md | Quiet until you seed it |
That last line is the whole story. Claude Code's context is the sum of everything you built in `CLAUDE.md` and `.claude/` over months. A fresh Hermes has none of that yet — not because the harness is weaker, but because it stores context in different places and expects you to seed it (or let it build up).
The gap is fixable in two moves:
1. **Import what you already have.** `hermes import-agent claude-code` maps CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md instructions, permission allowlists, MCP servers, skills, and memories into Hermes equivalents. Preview with `--dry-run`; it never imports API keys; conflicts are skipped by default (`--overwrite` to change).
2. **Let the learning loop run.** Every time you correct Hermes or finish a workflow you will repeat, tell it to remember. Within a few weeks it will have its own CLAUDE.md equivalent — built, not typed.
What the comparison table in our research covers, gap by gap: project instructions, instruction splits, slash commands, subagents, skills, project memory, tool permissions, MCP, session resume, cost/context visibility, headless mode, prior-setup import, hooks, and scheduled work. Each has a Hermes equivalent, and every one is documented in section 9.
---
## 3. The context stack
This is the order in which Hermes builds its context, and what you do at each layer.
**Layer 1 — Persona (`SOUL.md`).** Set up once. Your Hermes' standing identity and voice: "you are my analyst," the tone, the standing rules. Auto-injected into every session. Lives at `~/.hermes/SOUL.md` (per profile: `~/.hermes/profiles/<name>/SOUL.md`). Docs: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/configuration
**Layer 2 — Persistent memory.** Set up once, then feed it constantly. `MEMORY.md` / `USER.md` are always active and injected every session — this is the single biggest cure for "it forgets my project." After any correction or preference ("use this source list," "briefs go in this format"), tell Hermes to remember it. Manage with `hermes memory setup|status|off|reset` (VERIFIED-LIVE). Optional external providers exist (Honcho, Mem0, and others). Docs: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/memory
**Layer 3 — Skills.** Set up once; grows forever. Markdown procedure files that auto-load when a task matches the skill. The differentiator: after completing a workflow, ask Hermes to "save this as a skill" — it authors the skill itself, and a background curator tracks usage, archives stale ones, and keeps backups. CLI: `hermes skills list|search|install|browse|config|check|update` (VERIFIED-LIVE); in-session: `/skill <name>`, `/reload-skills` (DOC-ONLY). Docs: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/reference/skills-catalog and https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/curator
**Layer 4 — Projects.** Per workstream. `AGENTS.md` in each repo root (git-tracked, team-shared) carries project rules; Desktop Projects (`hermes project create <name>` then `add-folder`) group multi-repo work under one named workspace. Both VERIFIED-LIVE.
**Layer 5 — Retrieval (session store).** Automatic. All conversations land in a searchable store; Hermes can search past sessions when you ask "what did we decide last week." CLI: `hermes sessions list|browse|rename|pin|export|prune|stats` (VERIFIED-LIVE).
**Layer 6 — MCP (external tools).** Per integration. Plug GitHub, databases, workflow engines into the agent. `hermes mcp add|list|test|configure|picker|catalog|install` (VERIFIED-LIVE). Docs: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/mcp
Quick summary:
| Layer | Set up | Feed |
|---|---|---|
| SOUL.md persona | once | rarely |
| Persistent memory | once | every correction/preference |
| Skills | once | "save this as a skill" after repeated workflows |
| AGENTS.md / Projects | once per repo/workstream | as projects evolve |
| Session retrieval | automatic | ask |
| MCP | once per integration | when new tools appear |

## 4. Top moves
The highest-leverage moves for your kind of work — research, evidence-graded analysis, weekly briefs — and for running alongside Claude Code. Every command verified on v0.21.1.
### 1. Import your Claude Code setup
```bash
hermes import-agent claude-code --dry-run # preview
hermes import-agent claude-code # migrate CLAUDE.md, MCP, skills, memories
```
What it does: one-command migration of the instructions and servers that made Claude Code feel context-rich, translated into Hermes equivalents. Never imports API keys.
Why it matters: this is the direct answer to "Hermes has no context." After this, Hermes knows your projects on day one.
### 2. Bring over the conversation history
```bash
hermes sessions import
```
What it does: imports Claude Code or Codex CLI conversations into the Hermes session store.
Why it matters: mid-project, the new agent picks up exactly where the old one left off. `hermes --resume <id>` and `hermes sessions browse` then treat the history as native.
### 3. Trust your repos so project-local skills load
```bash
hermes skills trust
```
What it does: trusts a repo so its project-local skills (`.hermes/skills`) load — the Hermes analog of `.claude/skills/`.
Why it matters: your evidence-grading rules can live in the repo with the project, versioned with git, and load automatically.
### 4. Per-directory session continuity
```bash
hermes --in DIR --resume latest
```
What it does: resumes the latest session for a given directory (also: `hermes -c [NAME]`, `hermes --resume <id|latest>`).
Why it matters: every project folder gets its own continuous thread. Research on one portfolio never mixes with another.
### 5. Preload skills for a specific job
```bash
hermes -s skill1,skill2
```
What it does: preloads specific skills for the session.
Why it matters: for a weekly brief or an evidence register, pin the exact skills that encode your grading criteria instead of hoping they auto-match.
### 6. Save any repeated workflow as a skill
In-session: "save this as a skill." (CLI: `hermes skills list|search|install|browse`.)
What it does: Hermes authors a skill file from the workflow you just ran.
Why it matters: the learning loop is the whole point. Do the evidence-grading pass twice, save it, and every future run starts with the procedure loaded.
### 7. Fan out research with subagents
In-session: "delegate this to subagents." (agent-side tool `delegate_task`, no CLI.)
What it does: parallel subagents with isolated contexts — each gets its own conversation and terminal, only the final summary comes back.
Why it matters: research fan-out without flooding your main context. Ten sources, ten subagents, one synthesis.
### 8. Make the weekly brief a cron job
```bash
hermes cron create
```
What it does: durable scheduler — duration or cron syntax, per-job model overrides, output chaining, delivery to messaging platforms. Manage with `hermes cron list|create|edit|pause|resume|run|remove|doctor`.
Why it matters: a weekly brief is exactly a cron job. It runs even when you are not at the desktop, with your skills preloaded and its output delivered to you.
### 9. Set a standing goal for grind work
In-session: `/goal [text|status|pause|resume|clear]` (DOC-ONLY; CLI subcommands verified).
What it does: a standing objective the agent keeps working toward across turns until achieved.
Why it matters: "keep researching until you have 5 verified sources" — the agent loops itself instead of waiting for you to say "go on."
### 10. Run Hermes as an MCP server for Claude Code
```bash
hermes mcp serve
```
What it does: exposes Hermes (persistent memory, skills, cron, sessions) to other agents as an MCP tool provider. Claude Code supports MCP clients, so it can consume Hermes.
Why it matters: the reverse bridge. Claude Code gets the surfaces it lacks, and both tools share your knowledge base.
### 11. Pick the right model per task, with a safety net
```bash
hermes fallback list|add|remove
hermes -m MODEL --provider PROVIDER --reasoning high
```
What it does: explicit fallback chains (a failed call rolls to a second model instead of erroring) and per-run model/provider/reasoning overrides.
Why it matters: on OpenRouter with fast models, use `--reasoning high` for the hard analytical passes and let fallback chains keep the cheap models from stalling your brief.
### 12. Diagnose why responses feel thin
```bash
hermes prompt-size
```
What it does: byte breakdown of the system prompt + tool schemas.
Why it matters: when output quality drops, it is usually context bloat, not model quality. This tells you what is eating the window.
---
## 5. Working alongside Claude Code
You run both. The proven patterns, in order of value.
**First: import.** `hermes import-agent claude-code` then `hermes sessions import`. After this, the "two tools that don't know each other" problem is gone — Hermes knows your projects and your history.
**Hermes as orchestrator, Claude Code as worker.** The installed Hermes skill for exactly this is `autonomous-ai-agents/delegate-coding-agent`. Two modes:
- Print mode (preferred): `claude -p '<task>' --allowedTools 'Read,Edit' --max-turns 10` — one-shot, no dialogs, structured JSON output with `session_id`, `num_turns`, `total_cost_usd`. In Hermes, just say: "delegate this coding task to Claude Code in print mode."
- Interactive PTY via tmux: Hermes starts a tmux session, sends prompts with `send-keys`, monitors with `capture-pane`. For iterative refactor → review → fix cycles.
There is also a cross-agent review loop: `git diff main...feature | claude -p 'Review this diff for bugs and security issues.' --max-turns 1` — Hermes runs it, reads the findings, and fixes them itself. Claude Code becomes a reviewer Hermes coordinates.
The skill's safety rails: explicit workdir, clean git status before launch, narrow task prompts, git diff review, targeted tests before committing.
**Parallel workstreams, neutral merge reconciliation.** When both agents edit the same repo and collide, do not let either resolve the conflict — both are biased toward their own side. Spawn a neutral third agent with the `merge-reconciler` skill: it classifies every conflicted hunk, resolves under an impartiality contract, verifies with build/tests, and hands back a summary naming every decision. Kanban shape: a reconciliation card assigned to a third profile, with both workers' cards as parents.
**Hermes as MCP server (the reverse direction).** `hermes mcp serve` (pattern in section 4, move 10). The only bridge direction Claude Code cannot offer.
**Desktop GUI goes to Hermes.** Claude Code has no desktop automation. `hermes computer-use install` (cua-driver; health check `hermes computer-use doctor`) drives native desktop apps background-first — never steals focus. If a task needs Excel or a native app, that part routes to Hermes while the code routes to Claude Code.
**Division of labor in one line:** Hermes is the always-on layer — research, briefs, scheduling, messaging, memory, and the orchestration desk. Claude Code is the deep coding worker. Hand coding-heavy tasks over; hand continuity, recall, and scheduled work to Hermes.

## 7. Your first 7 days
One action per day, each finishable in 15 minutes.
**Day 1 — Import.** `hermes import-agent claude-code --dry-run`, review the preview, then run it without the flag. Your CLAUDE.md context now lives in Hermes.
**Day 2 — Write your SOUL.md.** Open `~/.hermes/SOUL.md` and write who this agent is for you: its role, your tone, three standing rules (e.g., how to grade evidence, where briefs go, how to flag uncertainty). Ten lines is plenty.
**Day 3 — Per-directory sessions.** Pick your most active project folder. Work one task there via `hermes --in DIR --resume latest`. Notice the thread is separate from everything else.
**Day 4 — First skill.** Finish a small repeated workflow (a source-check pass, a brief section). At the end, say "save this as a skill." Next day, watch it load by itself.
**Day 5 — One cron job.** `hermes cron create` for a small daily check (inbox digest, a price or news watch, whatever you already do by hand). Deliver it somewhere you actually look.
**Day 6 — Hand a task to Claude Code.** In Hermes: "delegate this coding task to Claude Code in print mode." Read the JSON result. This is the bridge working.
**Day 7 — Recall test.** Ask Hermes "what did we decide last week about [your project]?" If it can answer from the session store, the stack is working. If not, `/compress` the bloat and try `hermes prompt-size` to see what is eating the window.
---
## 8. What NOT to expect
- **A bigger context window than you have.** Model choice does not change the window size. Fast models on OpenRouter (qwen3.8-flash, deepseek-4-flash) are cheap and quick, but they carry fewer bytes per turn than a frontier model. The harness compresses automatically near the limit — you will not watch a meter like Claude Code's `/context` — but compression is lossy. For the heaviest analytical passes, use `--reasoning high` and a larger model for that run.
- **Model choice as a silver bullet.** What a different model buys: better reasoning, better tool-calling, more reliable long-horizon work. What it does not buy: memory of your projects, your workflows, or last week's decisions. That lives in your context stack, not the model.
- **Desktop = everything.** The desktop app is a thin client over a local agent: config, memory, skills, sessions, cron, and kanban all live in the Hermes home, not in the window. Close the window and the work keeps living; that is a feature, not a bug.
- **Cron limits.** Cron jobs are durable, but they run on their own budgets: wall-clock caps, per-job model overrides, and delivery depends on configured platforms. A job is not an infinite second brain — design it as a bounded task with a bounded output.
- **It will still need to be told things twice.** If you did not save it as memory or a skill, the next session does not know. The learning loop only works if you trigger it. "Remember this" and "save this as a skill" are deliberate moves, not magic.
- **Official tutorial videos.** None exist from Nous Research; the watch list is verified third-party content. The docs (hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs) are the authoritative source, and `/help` inside a session lists the exact commands your version supports.
- **Slash commands behave like the CLI does.** The slash registry is version-dependent; anything tagged DOC-ONLY here was confirmed against the docs but not exercised live from a headless session. `/help` in your own session is the final word.

- **No private financial data or personal data found**
- Grep patterns searched: murray, jds, portfolio, allocation, holding, ticker, position, dollar, 192.168.68.17, syslog solution llc
- Only mentions of "portfolio" are generic workflow descriptions, not specific financial data
- No Murray Capital/JDS portfolio details, positions, or dollar figures found
### 6. HONESTY/OVER-CLAIM: ✅ PASS (1 minor issue)
- **Minor issue found:** The "save this as a skill" workflow description is slightly misleading
- Book says: "after you complete a workflow twice, ask Hermes to 'save this as a skill'"
- Reality: The workflow works on a single workflow completion (not after two)
- The language "after you complete a workflow twice" suggests a minimum repetition requirement that doesn't exist
- **Recommendation:** Change to "after completing a workflow, ask Hermes to save this as a skill"
- No major over-claims about features that don't exist
- All model claims are accurate for OpenRouter-only setup
- Honest about "no official Nous Research tutorial videos exist" ✅
### 7. USEFULNESS: ✅ PASS
- **Strongest section:** Section 4 "Top moves" - provides 12 highly actionable, verified commands
- **Strongest section:** Section 6 "Video watch list" - all links verified, titles/channels accurate
- **Strongest section:** Section 7 "Your first 7 days" - practical, incremental onboarding plan
- **Weakest section:** Section 2 "Why Hermes feels like it has less context" - could benefit from more concrete examples
- Overall: Would genuinely help a new user close the context gap with actionable, verified steps
## Prioritized Fixes
### SHOULD-FIX
1. **Fix "save as skill" workflow description** - Change "after you complete a workflow twice" to "after completing a workflow" (Section 3, paragraph 4)
- This is the only minor issue found
- Doesn't affect functionality but could create false expectations about repetition requirements
### NIT
- None identified - all content is accurate and well-organized
## Edits Applied
Applied the SHOULD-FIX correction directly to the playbook:
- **Section 3, Layer 3 (Skills):** Changed "after you complete a workflow twice" → "after completing a workflow"

# 01 — The Context Gap: Claude Code vs a Fresh Hermes Install
**Audience:** internal research for the Scot Murray playbook (writer takes over from here).
**Prepared:** 2026-09-11. Primary sources: official docs (hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs) and live CLI verification on the reference install (Syslog kagentz). Every "exact command/file" was checked against `hermes --help` / `hermes <cmd> --help` output on v0.21.1 unless marked DOC-ONLY.
## Why the gap exists (30-second framing)
Claude Code discovers context from the repo it sits in: a `CLAUDE.md` it reads on every
launch, `.claude/` folders that ship subagents, slash commands, hooks, and skills. A fresh
Hermes install starts nearly empty by design — its philosophy is that the agent *builds* its
own context over time (memory, skills) and that context comes from config files, not the
repo. The "lack of context" Scot noticed is just Hermes waiting to be seeded. Below: every
gap and the Hermes mechanism that closes it.
## Gap table
| # | Gap | Claude Code behaviour (out of the box) | Hermes equivalent | Exact command / file |
|---|-----|----------------------------------------|-------------------|----------------------|
| 1 | Project instructions | Auto-loads `CLAUDE.md` from project root; `#` prefix adds memory live; `claude /init` scaffolds it | Auto-injects `AGENTS.md` (and `.cursorrules`) from the working directory + `SOUL.md` persona + persistent memory from the Hermes home. `hermes import-agent claude-code` migrates existing CLAUDE.md content in one shot | File: `AGENTS.md` in the project root (git-tracked). Command: `hermes import-agent claude-code [--dry-run]` — VERIFIED-LIVE |
| 2 | Team/personal instruction split | `.claude/rules/*.md` (project) + `~/.claude/rules/*.md` (personal) | Rules via `AGENTS.md` in the repo (team) vs `SOUL.md` + memory in `~/.hermes/` (personal). Config for everything else: `hermes config edit` | Files: `AGENTS.md` (repo), `SOUL.md` (`~/.hermes/`). VERIFIED-LIVE (documented in `--ignore-rules` help text, which names exactly what gets injected) |
| 3 | Slash commands | Ships dozens built-in; custom ones in `.claude/commands/<name>.md` | Rich built-in registry (`/help` to list); custom automation goes into skills instead of command files | In-session: `/help`, `/skills`. Doc: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/reference/slash-commands — VERIFIED-LIVE (registry derived from `hermes_cli/commands.py`) |
| 4 | Subagents / delegation | `.claude/agents/*.md`, `@agent` mentions, Task tool | Built-in `delegate_task` tool (isolated subagent contexts, parallel batches) plus full-process spawns (`hermes chat -q`, tmux) and the durable Kanban board for multi-profile work | In-session: ask Hermes to delegate; `hermes kanban create ...` for durable tasks. Doc: /docs/user-guide/features/kanban. VERIFIED-LIVE (`hermes kanban --help` shows 40+ verbs incl. `swarm`) |
| 5 | Skills (auto-invoked expertise) | `.claude/skills/*.md` markdown guides invoked by natural language match | Same concept, more infrastructure: skills auto-load by task match, can be authored BY the agent itself (`skill_manage`), installed from registries, maintained by the curator | CLI: `hermes skills list/search/install/config`; in-session: `/skill <name>`, `/reload-skills`. VERIFIED-LIVE. Hub: `hermes skills browse` |
| 6 | Project memory / auto-memory | `~/.claude/projects/<project>/memory/`, 25 KB cap | Persistent memory is first-class: built-in `MEMORY.md`/`USER.md` always active, pluggable providers (Honcho, Mem0, …) | CLI: `hermes memory setup/status/off`. VERIFIED-LIVE. Doc: /docs/user-guide/features/memory |
| 7 | Tool permissions | `/permissions`, `settings.json` allowlists | Per-platform toolset toggles + MCP tool allowlists (`server:tool` notation) | CLI: `hermes tools` (interactive UI), `hermes tools list/enable/disable`. VERIFIED-LIVE |
| 8 | MCP servers | `claude mcp add/list/remove`, scopes user/local/project | `hermes mcp add/list/test/configure`, one-click catalog installs, plus `hermes mcp serve` (Hermes AS an MCP server — Claude Code cannot do this) | VERIFIED-LIVE. Doc: /docs/user-guide/features/mcp |
| 9 | Session resume / history | `claude -c`, `claude -r <id>`, `/resume` | `hermes -c`, `hermes --resume <id|latest|title>`, named sessions, plus a durable SQLite store with search/export/pin | CLI: `hermes sessions list/browse/rename/pin/export`. VERIFIED-LIVE |
| 10 | Cost & context visibility | `/cost`, `/context` grid | `/usage`, `/insights [days]`, `/compress` (auto-compression built in), `/prompt-size` byte breakdown | VERIFIED-LIVE (`insights`, `logs` subcommands confirmed in `hermes --help`) |
| 11 | Headless/CI mode | `claude -p` print mode | `-z/--oneshot` flag (prints only final response) + `hermes chat -q` | VERIFIED-LIVE |
| 12 | Import of prior setup | n/a (it IS the incumbent) | **The single most important one for Scot:** `hermes import-agent claude-code` maps CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md instructions, permission allowlists, MCP servers, skills, and memories into Hermes equivalents (never API keys) | `hermes import-agent claude-code --dry-run` then without `--dry-run`. VERIFIED-LIVE. Also `hermes sessions import` for old Claude Code conversations — VERIFIED-LIVE |
| 13 | Hooks on tool events | 8 hook types in `settings.json` (PreToolUse, PostToolUse, …) | Shell-script hooks managed via `hermes hooks` | CLI: `hermes hooks`. VERIFIED-LIVE (in top-level command list) |
| 14 | Scheduled / recurring work | `claude /loop` (in-session only) | Durable cron scheduler with multi-platform delivery, chained outputs (`context_from`), per-job model overrides | CLI: `hermes cron list/create/edit/pause/resume/run/remove/doctor`. VERIFIED-LIVE. Doc: /docs/user-guide/features/cron |
## The one-command bridge (lead with this in the playbook)
```bash
hermes import-agent claude-code --dry-run # preview
hermes import-agent claude-code # migrate CLAUDE.md → AGENTS.md, MCP, skills, memories
```
This is the fastest way to eliminate the "Hermes has no context" feeling for someone who
already has a working Claude Code setup: it carries over the exact instructions and servers
that made Claude Code feel context-rich. Preview-only mode exists (`--dry-run`), it never
imports credentials, and conflicts are skipped by default (`--overwrite` to change).

# 02 — High-Leverage Hermes Surfaces (the "harness power" inventory)
**Prepared:** 2026-09-11. Each surface: what it does, when to use it, exact command/file, doc URL. Verification: V-LIVE = confirmed against live CLI v0.21.1 on the reference install (Syslog kagentz); V-DOC = confirmed against official docs page (URL resolved HTTP 200); V-FILE = present on this machine's installed skills.
---
### 1. Persona / SOUL file
- **What:** `SOUL.md` is Hermes' personality + standing-identity file, auto-injected into the system prompt alongside `AGENTS.md` rules and memory (confirmed by `--ignore-rules` help text which lists exactly what gets injected).
- **When:** client wants the agent to have a consistent voice/role (e.g., "you are my analyst").
- **Where:** `~/.hermes/SOUL.md` (per-profile: `~/.hermes/profiles/<name>/SOUL.md`).
- **Doc:** https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/configuration [V-DOC]
### 2. Persistent memory (built-in + providers)
- **What:** Built-in `MEMORY.md` / `USER.md` always active; optional external providers (honcho, mem0, hindsight, byterover, …). Memory is injected every session — this is the single biggest cure for "it forgets my project."
- **When:** after any correction or preference the user states ("use bun, not npm") — tell Hermes to remember it and it persists.
- **Command:** `hermes memory setup|status|off|reset` [V-LIVE]
- **Doc:** https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/memory [V-DOC]
### 3. Skills + skill authoring (the learning loop)
- **What:** Markdown procedure files that auto-load when a task matches. The differentiator: Hermes can WRITE its own skills after learning a workflow (self-improving), and the curator maintains them (usage tracking, archiving, backups).
- **When:** any workflow done twice — say "save this as a skill."
- **Commands:** `hermes skills list|search|install|browse|config|check|update` [V-LIVE]; in-session `/skill <name>`, `/reload-skills` [V-DOC]; authoring tool in-session is `skill_manage` (agent-side; writer should describe it as "ask your Hermes to save the procedure as a skill").
- **Docs:** https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/reference/skills-catalog [V-DOC]; curator: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/curator [V-DOC]
### 4. Desktop Projects
- **What:** Human-named workspaces spanning multiple folders/repos; anchor desktop session grouping; bindable to a Kanban board for deterministic worktree/branch conventions.
- **When:** Scot's multi-repo workflows (portfolio ops). `hermes project create <name>` then `add-folder`.
- **Command:** `hermes project create|list|show|add-folder|set-primary|use|bind-board` [V-LIVE]
### 5. MCP servers
- **What:** Plug external tools into the agent (GitHub, Postgres, n8n, …) via the Model Context Protocol. Also runs in reverse: `hermes mcp serve` exposes Hermes conversations to other agents.
- **Command:** `hermes mcp add|list|test|configure|picker|catalog|install|serve` [V-LIVE]
- **Doc:** https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/mcp [V-DOC]
### 6. Toolsets & deferred tool discovery
- **What:** ~30 built-in toolsets (web, browser, terminal, memory, kanban, tts, …) toggled per platform via `hermes tools`; the agent can also defer-load more tools at runtime via `tool_search` instead of carrying every schema in context.
- **When:** trim toolsets for focus/cost, or enable `browser` for web work.
- **Command:** `hermes tools` (interactive), `hermes tools list|enable|disable` [V-LIVE]; docs: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/reference/tools-reference [V-DOC]
### 7. Subagent delegation (delegate_task)
- **What:** In-session parallel subagents with isolated context + terminal sessions; leaf vs orchestrator roles; batched parallel spawns.
- **When:** research fan-out, parallel code review, anything that would flood the main context.
- **Command:** agent-side tool (no CLI). In-session: ask Hermes to "delegate X to subagents." Docs: /docs/user-guide/features (delegation section) [V-DOC]
### 8. Kanban (durable multi-agent board)
- **What:** SQLite board shared across profiles; tasks with dependencies, atomic claims, isolated workspaces, dispatcher; `swarm` verb builds parallel-worker → verifier → synthesizer graphs.
- **When:** recurring multi-step operations, handoffs between specialist profiles, long-running campaigns that must survive restarts.
- **Command:** `hermes kanban create|list|show|swarm|link|complete|watch|stats|dispatch` (40+ verbs) [V-LIVE]
- **Doc:** https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/kanban [V-DOC]
### 9. Cron jobs
- **What:** Durable scheduler: duration or cron syntax, per-job model/skills overrides, output chaining (`context_from`), multi-platform delivery.
- **When:** daily reports, monitoring with alerts, weekly reviews.
- **Command:** `hermes cron list|create|edit|pause|resume|run|remove|doctor|status` [V-LIVE]
- **Doc:** https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/cron [V-DOC]
### 10. Session store + session_search
- **What:** All conversations in a searchable SQLite store: resume by ID/name/`latest`, pin, export to JSONL/Markdown, prune, stats.
- **When:** "what did we decide last week" — the agent can search past sessions; user can browse them.
- **Command:** `hermes sessions list|browse|rename|pin|export|prune|stats` [V-LIVE]; in-session `/resume`, `/branch` [V-DOC]
### 11. Browser + computer use
- **What:** Two surfaces: headless browser automation (browser toolset: navigate/click/snapshot) and full desktop control via `computer_use` (cua-driver, macOS/Windows/Linux, background-first input that never steals focus).
- **When:** web research → headless browser; native apps (Excel, Figma, native chat) → computer use.
- **Command:** `hermes computer-use install|status|doctor` [V-LIVE]; enable via `hermes tools` [V-LIVE]
### 12. Model/provider routing, credential pools, fallbacks
- **What:** Per-invocation model/provider overrides; interactive model picker; pooled credentials with rotation; explicit fallback chains; per-task model overrides on Kanban.
- **Command:** `hermes model` [V-LIVE], `hermes fallback list|add|remove` [V-LIVE], `hermes auth add|list|priority|reset` [V-LIVE]; per-run flags `-m`, `--provider`, `--reasoning` [V-LIVE]
- **Doc:** https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/integrations/providers [V-DOC]
- **Note for Scot (OpenRouter + small fast models):** `--reasoning high` on hard tasks; `hermes fallback add` so a failed call rolls to a second model instead of erroring.
### 13. Profiles (isolated instances)
- **What:** Completely independent Hermes instances (config, memory, skills, sessions) with wrapper aliases; export/import for distribution.
- **When:** separate work/persona contexts, or one profile per client.
- **Command:** `hermes profile list|create|use|alias|export|import` [V-LIVE]
- **Doc:** https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/profiles [V-DOC]
### 14. Goal loops
- **What:** `/goal <text>` sets a standing objective the agent keeps working toward across turns until achieved (judge-checked continuations).
- **When:** "keep the CI green until it passes," "keep researching until you have 5 verified sources."
- **Command:** in-session `/goal [text|status|pause|resume|clear]` [V-DOC: /docs/reference/slash-commands]
### 15. Gateway (messaging platform front-end)
- **What:** The same agent reachable from Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, Email, and 10+ platforms with full tool access; runs as a background service.
- **Command:** `hermes gateway run|install|start|status|setup` [V-LIVE]
- **Doc:** https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/messaging/ [V-DOC]
### 16. Checkpoints & rollback
- **What:** Filesystem snapshots before destructive file operations; `/rollback [N]` restores.
- **When:** letting the agent loose on important files.
- **Command:** `hermes chat --checkpoints` / `hermes checkpoints` [V-LIVE]; in-session `/rollback`, `/snapshot` [V-DOC]
### 17. Projects↔Kanban binding + worktree mode
- **What:** `hermes project bind-board` ties a board to a project (deterministic worktree + branch per task); `-w/--worktree` runs any session in an isolated git worktree.
- **When:** parallel coding agents that must not collide.
- **Command:** `hermes project bind-board` [V-LIVE]; `hermes -w` [V-LIVE]
### 18. Prompt-size introspection
- **What:** Byte breakdown of system prompt + tool schemas — diagnose why responses feel "dumb" (usually context bloat).
- **Command:** `hermes prompt-size` [V-LIVE]

# 04 — The Claude Code Bridge: Running Hermes WITH Claude Code
**Prepared:** 2026-09-11. Scot already runs both tools. This file documents the proven integration patterns, citing the installed skills on this host (paths under `/home/hermes/.hermes/skills/`) and official docs.
## Pattern 0 — Import (do this first)
`hermes import-agent claude-code` [VERIFIED-LIVE] maps CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md instructions,
permission allowlists, MCP servers, skills, and memories into Hermes equivalents. It always
shows a preview, never imports credentials. `hermes sessions import` [VERIFIED-LIVE] pulls
in old Claude Code conversations. After import, Hermes "knows" the projects — the context
gap disappears on day one.
## Pattern 1 — Hermes as orchestrator, Claude Code as worker
Source: installed skill **`autonomous-ai-agents/delegate-coding-agent`** (v1.0.0) + its
reference `references/claude-code.md` (v2.2.1) [V-FILE]. The skill is an official Hermes
skill authored for exactly this.
Two orchestration modes (verbatim from the skill):
- **Print mode (preferred):** `claude -p '<task>' --allowedTools 'Read,Edit' --max-turns 10` —
one-shot, no dialogs, structured JSON output with `session_id`, `num_turns`,
`total_cost_usd`. Ask Hermes: *"delegate this coding task to Claude Code in print mode."*
- **Interactive PTY via tmux:** multi-turn sessions — Hermes starts `tmux new-session`,
sends prompts with `send-keys`, monitors with `capture-pane`. For iterative
refactor → review → fix cycles.
Cross-agent review loop (also from the skill):
```
git diff main...feature | claude -p 'Review this diff for bugs and security issues.' --max-turns 1
```
Hermes runs this, reads the output, and fixes findings itself — Claude Code becomes a
reviewer Hermes coordinates.
Safety rails the skill prescribes: explicit `workdir`, clean git status before launch,
narrow task prompts, `git diff` review, targeted tests before committing.
## Pattern 2 — Parallel workstreams + neutral merge reconciliation
Source: installed skill **`autonomous-ai-agents/merge-reconciler`** [V-FILE].
When Hermes and Claude Code (or two Hermes workers) both edit the same repo and collide:
- Do NOT let either agent resolve the conflict — both are biased toward their own side.
- Spawn a **neutral third agent** with the merge-reconciler skill; it classifies every
conflicted hunk (disjoint-intent / same-question-different-answer / superseded), resolves
under an impartiality contract (touch only conflict markers, surface every design call),
verifies with build/tests, and hands back a summary naming every hunk decision.
- Kanban-native shape: a reconciliation card assigned to a **third profile** with both
workers' cards as parents — parent links carry both sides' completion summaries into the
reconciler's context automatically.
## Pattern 3 — Hermes as MCP server (Claude Code gets Hermes tools)
`hermes mcp serve` [VERIFIED-LIVE] runs Hermes as an MCP server exposing its conversations
and capabilities. Claude Code supports MCP clients (`claude mcp add`), so Claude Code can
consume Hermes as a tool provider — persistent memory, skills, cron — the surfaces Claude
Code lacks. This is the reverse-bridge only Hermes can offer. Docs:
https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/mcp
## Pattern 4 — Import legacy sessions for continuity
`hermes sessions import` [VERIFIED-LIVE] imports a Claude Code session into the Hermes
store; from then on `hermes --resume <id>` / `hermes sessions browse` treat it as native
history. Use when mid-project: the new agent picks up exactly where Claude Code left off.
## Pattern 5 — Desktop GUI automation either side can use
Source: installed skill **`autonomous-ai-agents/computer-use`** (v2.0.0) [V-FILE].
`hermes computer-use install` sets up cua-driver; the `computer_use` toolset drives native
desktop apps background-first (never steals focus/cursor), any-model, cross-platform.
Relevant to the bridge because Claude Code has no desktop automation — if a task needs
Figma/Excel/native apps, that part routes to Hermes while the code routes to Claude Code.
Cmd: `hermes computer-use doctor` for health checks.
## Pattern 6 — The import-agent philosophy in one line
Claude Code holds repo context in `CLAUDE.md`; Hermes holds it in `AGENTS.md` + memory +
skills. `hermes import-agent claude-code` translates the first; the learning loop
("save this as a skill") rebuilds the rest automatically the more Scot uses Hermes.

At least 16 of the 17 entries above are directly Hermes-specific (not merely adjacent); the
"fewer than 5 exist" fallback clause was NOT needed — no padding was necessary. Entries
found in search but excluded as thin/low-signal: `iqN6MVzpJTk` (3.1k views, news-style),
`83nWNRKZTCE` (465 views), `6M2tItdARew` (1.2k views), `P2LIFtrRr2U` (promo-style) — all

[--safe-mode] [--source SOURCE] [--tui] [--cli] [--dev]
Start an interactive chat session with Hermes Agent
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-q, --query QUERY Query to run. On a real TTY the prompt seeds an
interactive session (submitted literally as the first
turn); combined with --oneshot or -Q, or on a non-TTY,
it answers and exits.
--query-file PATH Read the single query from a file instead of the
command line ('-' reads stdin). Safe for arbitrary
text: nothing is shell-interpreted, so quotes, $(...),
and backticks are preserved verbatim. Mutually
exclusive with -q.
--oneshot With -q/--query-file: answer the query and exit
(legacy single-query behavior) instead of seeding an
interactive session. Implied on non-TTY stdio and by
-Q/--quiet.
--image IMAGE Optional local image path to attach to a single query
-m, --model MODEL Model to use (e.g., anthropic/claude-sonnet-4)
-t, --toolsets TOOLSETS
Comma-separated toolsets to enable
--reasoning LEVEL Reasoning effort for this session: none, minimal, low,
medium, high, xhigh, max, or ultra. Overrides
agent.reasoning_effort for this run only (same levels
as the /reasoning slash command).
-s, --skills SKILLS Preload one or more skills for the session (repeat
flag or comma-separate)
--provider PROVIDER Inference provider (default: auto). Built-in or a
user-defined name from `providers:` in config.yaml.
-v, --verbose Verbose output
-Q, --quiet Quiet mode for programmatic use: suppress banner,
spinner, and tool previews. Only output the final
response and session info.
--resume, -r SESSION_ID
Resume a previous session by ID (shown on exit), or
'latest' for the most recent session
--no-restore-cwd Don't cd into a resumed session's recorded working
directory.
--in DIR Change into DIR before starting or resuming (scopes '
--resume latest' / -c lookups to DIR's workspace).
--continue, -c [SESSION_NAME]
Resume a session by name, or the most recent if no
name given
--create-if-missing With -c/--continue <name>: if no session matches the
name, create a new session with that title and proceed
(instead of failing with a not-found error).
Programmatic callers that want 'send to this named
thread, making it if needed'.
--worktree, -w Run in an isolated git worktree (for parallel agents
on the same repo)
--accept-hooks Auto-approve any unseen shell hooks declared in
config.yaml without a TTY prompt (see also
HERMES_ACCEPT_HOOKS env var and hooks_auto_accept: in
config.yaml).
--checkpoints Enable filesystem checkpoints before destructive file
operations (use /rollback to restore)
--max-turns N Maximum tool-calling iterations per conversation turn
(default: 500, or agent.max_turns in config)
--run-budget SECONDS Optional wall-clock budget in seconds for each
conversation run. At 80% elapsed the agent gets a one-
time wrap-up notice, and implicit provider stale
timeouts are capped to the remaining budget so one
hung call can't consume the run. Unset = off. Also
configurable as agent.run_budget_seconds in
config.yaml. Intended for one-shot/eval invocations
with a hard ceiling.
--yolo Bypass all dangerous command approval prompts (use at
your own risk)
--pass-session-id Include the session ID in the agent's system prompt
--ignore-user-config Ignore ~/.hermes/config.yaml and fall back to built-in
defaults (credentials in .env are still loaded).
Useful for isolated CI runs, reproduction, and third-
party integrations.
--ignore-rules Skip auto-injection of AGENTS.md, SOUL.md,
.cursorrules, memory, and preloaded skills. Combine
with --ignore-user-config for a fully isolated run.
--safe-mode Troubleshooting mode: disable ALL customizations —
user config, AGENTS.md/memory injection, plugins, and
MCP servers (implies --ignore-user-config and
--ignore-rules). Use to isolate whether a problem
comes from your setup or from Hermes itself.
--source SOURCE Session source tag for filtering (default: cli). Use
'tool' for third-party integrations that should not
appear in user session lists.
--tui Launch the modern TUI instead of the classic REPL
--cli Force the classic prompt_toolkit REPL (overrides
display.interface=tui)
--dev With --tui: run TypeScript sources via tsx (skip dist
build)

Supported on macOS, Windows, and Linux. Use `hermes computer-use install` to
fetch and run the upstream cua-driver installer. This is equivalent to the
post-setup hook that `hermes tools` runs when you first enable the Computer
Use toolset, and is a stable target for re-running the install if it didn't
fire (e.g. when toggling the toolset on a returning-user setup). Use `hermes
computer-use doctor` to run cua-driver's `health_report` MCP tool and surface
its check matrix (TCC, bundle identity, version, platform support, ...) in
human-readable form.

One-command import of another coding agent's setup into Hermes. Maps
CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md instructions, permission allowlists, MCP servers, skills,
and memories into their Hermes equivalents. Always shows a preview before
making changes. API keys and credentials are never imported — run 'hermes
setup' for those.
positional arguments:
{claude-code,codex} Which agent to import from (default: auto-detect
~/.claude or ~/.codex)
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit

### Report provenance
Every report a contract produces must lead with the **absolute path the probe
executed from** — `pwd -P`, or the running script's absolute path. A live-state
report without provenance is unactionable: a report from a stale copy (a worktree
clone, a retired cron entry, a diverged consumer) looks identical to a live
fault, and the team burns rounds repairing healthy infrastructure. This is not
optional. The 2026-09-09 probe-drift rounds cost three false `DEGRADED` reports
because a stale consumer probed the wrong port and nothing in the report said
where it ran.
Pair it with the **scoped any-HTTP-response liveness rule**: for unauthenticated
or auth-gated endpoints — where any HTTP answer proves a listener is up (the
PVE API's `401`, LiteLLM health's `301` redirect) — a probe is ALIVE on ANY HTTP
status, including `301` redirects and `401`/`403` auth challenges. **DOWN =
connection refused (`000`) or timeout only.**
Probes whose success condition is specifically a bare `200` are NOT covered by
the any-HTTP rule. On those — authenticated probes such as the Zulip message
POST and the router `/health` — an unexpected status (`401`/`403` from a bad or
missing credential, `5xx`, or anything other than the expected `200`) is an
**ALERT**, not "alive".
```markdown
**Report format**: Begin every report with the absolute execution path
(`pwd -P` / script path). On auth-gated endpoints, alive = ANY HTTP status and
DOWN = `000`/timeout only; on probes whose expected result is `200`, any other
status is an alert.
```
The lint pipeline enforces the provenance clause: any contract with a
`**Report format**` line must state an absolute path (`pwd -P`, `absolute path`,
or `executed from`).

|---|---|
| `ct-unreachable:koby:192.168.68.15` | CT 111 (tdunna/koby) runs on **storepve (.6)**, not amdpve (.15). |
| `wrapper-*:abiba` | Abiba is pi-only since the harness purge. `/root/.local/bin/hermes` is a dangling symlink; no `hermes-real`, no `~/.hermes/.env`. |
| `wrapper-*:koby` | Koby is **report-only** (captain ruling 2026-08-17, Rule 17): detect and report, never repair — its legs must not count as fleet failures. Koby's wrapper is also the genuine no-infisical case: it sources `~/.hermes/.env` rather than `/usr/bin/infisical`, which the check now accepts. |
| `wrapper-infisical-path:koonimo` | Koonimo's wrapper **does** reference `/usr/bin/infisical` — but past the old check's `head -20` window, so the check looked for the path in the wrong slice and false-failed. The fix that mattered was reading the full wrapper body (and then verifying any absolute infisical path it finds actually exists). |

## Leg 2 — infrastructure-monitoring PVE API (item 2)
**Before** — the contract's probe, aimed at the monitoring host CT 116:
```
$ curl -s -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}' https://192.168.68.116:8006/api2/json
000
```
CT 116 runs no `pveproxy`, so it never answers on `:8006`. The probe target was
wrong, which is what read as PVE-API `000`.
**After** — probing the five real cluster nodes (`:8006/api2/json/version`),
alive under the any-HTTP-response rule (`401` = up, unauthenticated):
```
$ for node in 192.168.68.9 192.168.68.5 192.168.68.15 192.168.68.6 192.168.68.12; do
printf '%s:8006 -> %s\n' "$node" "$(curl -sk -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}' --connect-timeout 5 "https://$node:8006/api2/json/version")"
done
192.168.68.9:8006 -> 401
192.168.68.5:8006 -> 401
192.168.68.15:8006 -> 401
192.168.68.6:8006 -> 401
192.168.68.12:8006 -> 401
```
`401` on every node = alive by design. `DOWN` is `000`/timeout only. (The
contract's LiteLLM probe was the same class: `/litellm/health` answers `301` →
`/litellm/health/liveliness`, so it is now specified as any-HTTP too.)
---
## Leg 3 — gpu-monitor GPU probes (item 3)
**Before** — the false alarm came from probing bare port 80 on GPU hosts:
```
$ curl -s -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}' http://192.168.68.8/health
000
$ curl -s -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}' http://192.168.68.110/health
000
```
Nothing listens on GPU port 80, so the monitor reported
`DEGRADED — GPU-rtx3090 000, GPU-rtx5070 000` three times on 2026-09-09.
**After** — the real endpoints answer:
```
$ curl -s -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}' http://192.168.68.8:8080/health
200
$ curl -s -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}' http://192.168.68.110:8080/health
200
$ curl -s -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}' http://192.168.68.15:8080/health
200
$ curl -s -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}' http://192.168.68.116/health/unified
301 # Location: http://192.168.68.116/gpu/gpu-data — the same payload
$ curl -s -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}' -L http://192.168.68.116/health/unified
200
```
`301` is healthy under the any-HTTP-response rule. The contract now requires GPU
health on `:8080` (or router `/health/unified`) and forbids bare port 80 on a
GPU host.
---
## Leg 4 — report provenance (item 4)
Every contract report must now lead with the absolute path it executed from.
`docs/AUTHORING-GUIDE.md` documents the rule and `scripts/prose-lint.sh`
enforces it:
```
$ pwd -P
/root/.treehouse/prose-contracts-9ce5f3/3/prose-contracts
$ bash scripts/prose-lint.sh
✅ Report provenance present in all report-format contracts
...
✅ LINT PASSED (12 warning(s))
```
The health script prints `📍 executed from: script=… cwd=…` and includes
`execution_path`/`cwd` in `--json` output.
---
## Full suite
```
$ pwd -P
/root/.treehouse/prose-contracts-9ce5f3/3/prose-contracts
$ python3 -m pytest -q
24 passed
$ shellcheck scripts/prose-lint.sh
(clean)
```
---
## Follow-up findings (observed, intentionally NOT changed here)
These are adjacent stale expectations discovered while verifying the four
scoped legs. Each touches a CRITICAL/HIGH-sensitivity artifact or an unrelated
script, so it is recorded for the captain/verify mate rather than silently
repaired.
1. **`infrastructure-control.prose.md` (CRITICAL) CT 111 node assignment.**
Lines ~109 and ~615 place `tdunna` (CT 111, koby) on **amdpve**. Live
verification on 2026-09-10 shows `pct status 111` = `running` on
**storepve (.6)** and `Configuration file 'nodes/amdpve/lxc/111.conf' does
not exist` on .15. `agent-health-check.py` now carries the live-verified
`storepve` mapping (the script is not the topology source of truth); the
CRITICAL contract itself needs an authorized correction.
2. **Strix Halo `:8080` firewall claim is stale.** `prose-ai-review.sh`
ground-truth rule #4 and `gpu-monitor.prose.md` say `:8080` is firewalled to
`.116` only and `.24` cannot probe it. Live on .15:
`-A INPUT -s 192.168.68.24/32 -p tcp --dport 8080 -j ACCEPT`, and a probe
from .24 returns `200`. The contract keeps routing Strix via the router
(safe), but the claim no longer matches iptables.
3. **`contract-registry.yaml` references `agent-health-check.prose.md`**, which
does not exist in the repo. The registry entry (with `koby_action: skip_heal`)
is aspirational/stale.
4. **Pre-existing script defects, untouched:** `scripts/pm2-self-heal.sh` has a
bash syntax error at lines 19–20 (`bash -n` fails), and `shellcheck` fails on
five untouched scripts (`netbird-add-domain.sh`, `pct-run.sh`,
`pm2-self-heal.sh`, `prose-ai-review.sh`, `swap-gpu-dense-model.sh`).

Manages the GPU inference fleet across all hosts. Handles model deployment,
registration, health checks, LiteLLM sync, agent key management, GPU
saturation watchdog, Prometheus/Grafana monitoring, and self-healing.
UPDATED 2026-07-15: Stable role-based aliases introduced: strix-moe,
gpu-dense, gpu-light. These never change — only the underlying model does.
Strix Halo: strix-moe → unsloth/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-MTP (UD-Q4_K_M, 22GB).
RTX 5070: gemma-4-12b Q4_K_M → IQ4_NL + MTP draft (122 tok/s, 2x faster).
UPDATED 2026-07-17: Context reduced fleet-wide from 256K to 128K for stability.
Strix Halo model swapped to qwen3.6-35B-udq4 (22GB, strix-moe alias).
Instability observed near 100K at 256K (now all GPUs at 128K). 128K is the stable ceiling.
For larger context needs → fall back to external providers (deepseek).
VRAM headroom improved: RTX 3090 ~70%, RTX 5070 ~65%.
Current as of 2026-07-08: context reduced to 128K on NVIDIA GPUs, parallel 2
on all GPUs, LiteLLM timeouts tuned (gemma 25→120s, qwen 40→90s), router fully
deprecated — nginx routes /v1 → LiteLLM directly.

## Stable Role-Based Aliases (Introduced 2026-07-15)
Agent configs, cron jobs, and workflows MUST use these aliases, never model-specific names.
When a model is swapped on a GPU, ONLY the infrastructure layer changes — agent configs are untouched.
| Alias | GPU | Current Model | Will Route To |
|-------|-----|---------------|---------------|
| `strix-moe` | Strix Halo (.15) | qwen3.6-35B-udq4 | Whatever runs on Strix Halo |
| `gpu-dense` | RTX 3090 (.8) | Qwen3.8-27B-Uncensored-Q4_K_M | Whatever runs on RTX 3090 |
| `gpu-light` | RTX 5070 (.110) | gemma-4-12b | Whatever runs on RTX 5070 |
**Backward compatibility**: Old model-specific names (qwen3.6-27B-code, gemma-4-12b, qwen3.5-9b-it) still work
but are deprecated for agent configs. Only the stable aliases survive model swaps.
## Current Model Assignments (2026-07-15)

## Routing Configuration (LiteLLM — July 2026)
### syslog-auto Weighted Pool (Direct GPU — bypasses router)
| Model | GPU | Weight | RPM Cap | Timeout |
|-------|-----|--------|---------|---------|
| Qwen3.8-27B-Uncensored-Q4_K_M | RTX 3090 (.8:8080) | **0.55** | 500 | **300s** |
Note: All syslog-auto entries route directly to GPUs with `api_key: not-needed`. The router (port 9000) was decommissioned 2026-09-11 and is NOT in the inference path.
### Direct Model Endpoints
| Model | RPM Cap | Notes |
|-------|---------|-------|
### Stable Aliases (for agent configs — never change)
| Alias | RPM Cap | Routes To | Purpose |
|-------|---------|-----------|---------|
| `strix-moe` | 40 | Strix Halo | Compression tasks (MoE models) |
| `gpu-dense` | 500 | RTX 3090 | Heavy reasoning |
| `gpu-light` | 500 | RTX 5070 | Vision, web extract, light tasks |
### Fallback Chains
- gemma → qwen
- qwen → gemma
- strix-moe → qwen → gemma
- syslog-auto → qwen → gemma → qwen3.6-35B-udq4
### Why Strix Halo RPM Is Capped
- Direct (strix-moe): 40 RPM (tight) — Strix Halo is shared with compression tasks
- Via syslog-auto: 60 RPM (moderate) — prevents flooding when multiple agents use syslog-auto simultaneously
- Combined max: ~100 RPM across both paths — Strix Halo can sustain this at 80°C

## Agent Config Implications (2026-07-15)
## Agent Config Implications (2026-07-08)
### Stable Aliases — CRITICAL
All agent configs MUST use stable role-based aliases, never model-specific names:
- `compression.model: strix-moe` (NOT `qwen3.6-35B-udq4`)
- `auxiliary.vision.model: gpu-light` (NOT `gemma-4-12b`)
- `delegation.model: gpu-dense` (NOT `qwen3.6-27B-code`)
- `auxiliary.web_extract.model: gpu-light`
When the underlying model is swapped, only the LiteLLM config changes — agent configs are untouched.
### Context Windows
- RTX 3090: **128K** (reduced from 256K 2026-07-17) | RTX 5070: **128K** (reduced from 256K) | Strix Halo: **128K**
- **All agents**: 128K ceiling — stable margin. For >128K workloads, use external providers (deepseek)
- Compression threshold 0.60: fires at ~77K (~51K headroom before 128K ceiling)
- **Pi agents (Abiba)**: `compaction.reserveTokens: 52739` (≈60% of 128K)
- Mumuni compression model alias: `strix-moe` with 300s timeout
### Mumuni Agent Profile
Mumuni (kagentz CT105, 192.168.68.14 — migrated from CT100 2026-08-29) is the primary business assistant. This profile is the reference for all agent configs:
| Setting | Value | Notes |
|---------|-------|-------|
| `model.default` | `syslog-auto` | Weighted pool (55% qwen, 30% strix, 15% gemma) |
| `model.provider` | `custom:litellm` | LiteLLM on CT116 |
| `compression.model` | `strix-moe` | Stable alias — survives model swaps |
| `aux.compression.model` | `strix-moe` | Compression auxiliary model |
| `aux.vision.model` | `gpu-light` | Vision tasks (RTX 5070) |
| `aux.web_extract.model` | `gpu-light` | Web extraction |
| `delegation.model` | `gpu-dense` | Sub-agent reasoning (RTX 3090) |

All Hermes clients MUST set `max_tokens: 4096` — first line of defense before server-side `-n 8192` cap.
With NVIDIA GPUs at 128K context:
- Agents using `syslog-auto` (50/50 qwen+ornith): keep `context_length: 262144` — ornith supports it, Litellm fallbacks handle qwen overflow
- Agents using `qwen3.6-27B-code` directly: set `context_length: 131072` and `max_tokens: 4096` per thermal safety rule
- Agents using `gemma-4-12b` directly (auxiliary tasks): set `context_length: 131072`
- Compression threshold at 0.65: fires at ~170K for syslog-auto (262K ctx), ~85K for direct qwen/gemma (128K ctx)
- All Hermes clients MUST set `max_tokens: 4096` — first line of defense before server-side `-n 8192` cap
- Port 8080 is used on all 3 GPU hosts (not 8090 as previously documented)

## Alert Thresholds
### Liveness rule (scoped)
The any-HTTP-response rule applies ONLY to redirect/auth-gated liveness
endpoints, where any HTTP answer proves a listener is up. Applied here: nginx's
`/health/unified` answers `301 Moved Permanently` → `/gpu/gpu-data`
(the same payload) and LiteLLM's `/litellm/health` answers `301` →
`/litellm/health/liveliness`. For those endpoints a probe is **ALIVE** on
**ANY** HTTP status — `3xx` redirects and `401`/`403` auth challenges included —
and **DOWN = connection refused (`000`) or timeout only**. Same scoped rule as
zulip-health (Tanko) and infrastructure-monitoring.
Probes whose success condition is specifically a bare `200` are NOT covered by
the any-HTTP rule. On those — the GPU `:8080/health` endpoints, nginx `/health`,
and the dashboard — an unexpected status (`401`/`403`, `5xx`, or
anything other than the expected `200`) is an **ALERT**, not "alive".

from** (`pwd -P`, or the monitor script's absolute path) so a stale-consumer
report is distinguishable from a real fault at read time. Summarize actual

(v2.1.0) with active remediation rules, Prometheus metrics consumption,
VRAM trend analysis, and predictive alerting.
UPDATED 2026-07-18: Model assignments synced to 2026-07-17 swaps.
Router (port 9000) DECOMMISSIONED 2026-09-11; references replaced with direct GPU routing.
Benchmark baselines refreshed to live values.
Prometheus exporters removed — not deployed; fall back to direct sidecar probes.
Stable role-based aliases (strix-moe, gpu-dense, gpu-light) from gpu-fleet.
agent: abiba
depends_on:
- gpu-monitor.prose.md (live data source on .24:9100)
- gpu-fleet.prose.md (source of truth for topology, aliases, model assignments)

## Maintains
- gpu-health: { status: "healthy"|"degraded"|"down", issues: array, actions: array }
- gpu-self-heal-log: array of { timestamp, gpu, issue, action, result } — audit trail
- benchmark-regression: { gpu, baseline_tok_sec, current_tok_sec, trend, alerts }
- vram-trend: { gpu, current_mb, rate_mb_per_hour, projected_full_in_hours }
- circuit-breaker-status: { gpu, open, auto_reset_attempted, last_reset }
## Requires
- gpu-monitor:function — Live fleet data from localhost:9100/gpu-data
- Direct sidecar probe access to all GPU hosts (:8080/health)
- SSH access to GPU hosts for restart operations
## Continuity
- Self-driven: check every 60 seconds against GPU monitor data
- Also wakes on gpu-fleet health degradation
- On fix: verify with benchmark inference test before declaring resolved
- Escalate: after 3 failed remediation attempts → Zulip #agent-hub alert

## Current Fleet Baseline (2026-07-18)
| Alias | GPU | Host | Model | VRAM | Ctx | tok/s | Role |
|-------|-----|------|-------|------|-----|-------|------|
| `strix-moe` | Strix Halo 64GB | ct15 (.15:8080) | qwen3.6-35B-udq4 | ~10/64GB (16%) | 128K | 62.9 | Compression, summarization, long docs |
Key notes:
- All models use direct GPU routing via LiteLLM (`api_key: not-needed`). Router (port 9000) was decommissioned 2026-09-11 and is NOT in the inference path.
- Stable aliases (gpu-dense, gpu-light, strix-moe) from gpu-fleet are the canonical names for agent configs. Model-specific names still work but are deprecated.
- RTX 5070 tok/s is ~145 for Qwen3.5-9B — gpu-light is the fastest endpoint. Route vision/web/light work there first. NOTE: Qwen3.5-9B is multimodal (image+text), NOT text-only like gemma-4-12b was.
- Strix Halo is 62.9 tok/s (89% of 70.5 baseline) — below optimal but stable. Check for competing workloads.
- RTX 3090 VRAM at 88% — within role-appropriate range (role = heavy reasoning, needs the headroom).
- RTX 5070 VRAM at 83% — role-appropriate for vision/web (smaller batch sizes).
## 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 (gemma → qwen, qwen → gemma)
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): ≥300MB/hour
- RTX 5070 (12GB): ≥300MB/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
- RTX 3090 baseline: 74.8 tok/s → alert at <59.8 tok/s
- RTX 5070 baseline: 165.2 tok/s → alert at <132.2 tok/s
- Strix Halo baseline: 70.5 tok/s → alert at <56.4 tok/s
- **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
- **Note**: Router (port 9000) was decommissioned 2026-09-11. If circuit breakers are reported by gpu-monitor, they come from LiteLLM's internal tracking, not the old router.
- **Fix**:
1. Verify GPU /health returns 200 on direct port (:8080)
2. If GPU healthy, alert but do NOT reset via router API (decommissioned 2026-09-11)
3. Check LiteLLM health directly: http://192.168.68.116/litellm/health/liveliness
4. Restart LiteLLM container on CT 116 if circuit breakers are stuck
- **Verify**: LiteLLM returns healthy, circuit breaker clears within 60s
- **Escalate after**: LiteLLM restart doesn't clear → human investigation
### 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 LiteLLM health
- **Verify**: Direct health probe returns 200, LiteLLM reports model healthy
- **Escalate**: If host .15 itself is unreachable → infrastructure alert
### Rule 7: GPU Data Source Unreachable (replaces old Prometheus rule)
- **Detect**: gpu-monitor endpoint (localhost:9100/gpu-data) or sidecar port (:8080) on any GPU unreachable for >2 polls
- **Fix**:
1. If gpu-monitor is down: restart systemd service `gpu-monitor.service` on this host
2. If sidecar is down: SSH to GPU host → check llama-server process → restart systemd service
3. Fall back to direct nvidia-smi/rocm-smi probe via SSH if all API paths fail
- **Verify**: gpu-monitor returns healthy + all sidecars reachable
- **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 (all 128K)
- RTX 3090 (128K ctx, ThinkingCap): baseline 74.8 tok/s — currently at 74.9 (100%)
- RTX 5070 (128K ctx, HauhauCS QAT): baseline 165.2 tok/s — currently at 169.6 (103%)
- Strix Halo (128K ctx, qwen3.6-35B-udq4): baseline 70.5 tok/s — currently at 62.9 (89%)
- **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
- Strix Halo at 89% of baseline → MONITOR but do not reduce yet (recent model swap may still be settling)
- **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 (updated 2026-07-18)
- **Detect**: GPU roles misaligned with hardware capabilities
- **Target distribution**:
- RTX 3090 (gpu-dense, 24GB, 74.9 tok/s) → Heavy reasoning, code gen, long conversations (slowest per-token but largest context capacity). Weight: 0.55 (LiteLLM).
- RTX 5070 (gpu-light, 12GB, ~145 tok/s) → Vision (image+text), web search, lightweight tasks. Weight: 0.15 (LiteLLM).
- Strix Halo (strix-moe, 64GB, 62.9 tok/s) → Context compression, summarization, long docs (MoE model). Weight: 0.30 (LiteLLM).
- **Note**: RTX 5070 is the fastest endpoint per token. Route high-volume, low-complexity work there first.
- **Fix**:
- Alert if any GPU is handling workload outside its designated role
- Recommend agent alias updates to match workload to GPU role (use stable aliases: gpu-dense, gpu-light, strix-moe)
- 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 alias audit needed

### 1. Gitea Log (not knowledge graph — hard rule)
Pushed to `SyslogSolution/health-logs/gpu/{run_id}.json` — versioned, searchable, not in graph.
### 2. Zulip Alerts (#agent-hub → alerts-gpu)
- `issues_fixed > 0` → "🛠 GPU Self-Heal — <gpu> <issue> resolved"
- `issues_escalated > 0` → "⚠ GPU Self-Heal — <gpu> needs attention"
- Every 100th clean cycle → "✅ GPU Fleet: All Clear"
### 3. Weekly Benchmark Report
- Per-GPU tok/s trend over 7 days
- Regression alerts if any GPU degrades >10% week-over-week

## Design Decisions (Verified 2026-07-12, Reaffirmed 2026-07-18)
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 — **300MB/h** (RTX 3090), **300MB/h** (RTX 5070), 200MB/h (Strix). Previous values (100/50) were too sensitive; raised 2026-07-18 based on operational data.
5. **CB auto-reset**: ✅ Router decommissioned 2026-09-11 — circuit breakers go through LiteLLM health check + container restart if needed. No per-GPU auto-reset.
6. **Benchmark baseline**: Rolling 30-day average, recalculated weekly. Current baselines live in gpu-monitor.
7. **Predictive alerts**: Two-tier — warn at >70°C+rising (>2°C/min), critical at >80°C+rising.
8. **Prometheus**: ❌ Not deployed. Use direct sidecar probes (:8080/health) and gpu-monitor API. Prometheus integration deferred until exporters are running on GPU hosts.
## Lessons Learned (2026-07-12, Updated 2026-07-18)
### 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.
- **Rule**: Any new GPU or model restart MUST verify api-key matches LiteLLM config (`not-needed` for direct routing).
### L2: Fallback Chain Cascading Failures
- When one model returns 401 (auth) and another is slow (timeout), the fallback
chain creates an infinite loop.
- **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. Running at 128K (verified 2026-07-18).
- Parallel count: 1 on both RTX 3090 and RTX 5070 (matches docs for current models).
- **Rule**: Before making decisions, check `/proc/PID/cmdline` on GPU hosts.
### L4: Infisical Is Not Always Available
- Keep a local `.env` fallback for `LITELLM_API_KEY`.
- **Rule**: Always verify credential source is reachable before relying on it.
### L5: GPU Monitor Response Size Can Cause Self-Heal Crash
- gpu-self-heal crashed with KeyboardInterrupt during json.loads() of 20MB response.
- Root cause: router poll returns accumulated data → cache balloons.
- **Rule**: Self-heal must enforce a read timeout AND max response size on every poll.
If monitor response > 1MB, log a warning and skip the cycle rather than crashing.
### L6: Stable Aliases Replace Model Names
- gpu-fleet introduced stable aliases (strix-moe, gpu-dense, gpu-light) on 2026-07-15.
- Self-heal must use aliases for reporting and alerting, not model-specific names.
- **Rule**: All alert messages and KG nodes use the stable alias as the GPU identifier.

Access: `pct-run <CT_ID> <command>` — no IPs needed. GPU hosts (.8, .110, .15) use SSH.
Keys are stored in Infisical vault (project=agents, env=production) and injected at
runtime via `infisical run --` wrapper. Plaintext keys removed from this baseline.
## Key Architecture
```
Infisical vault → infisical run -- hermes gateway → LITELLM_API_KEY (runtime)
↓
Agent (systemd) → LITELLM_API_KEY → LiteLLM (:116/v1) → GPU (llama-server)
└── Key DB (Postgres)
Agent (systemd) → LITELLM_API_KEY → LiteLLM (:116/v1) → Router (:9000) → GPU (llama-server)
└── Key DB (Postgres)
```
- **Master key**: stored in Infisical vault (project=infrastructure, secret=LITELLM_MASTER_KEY) — ADMIN ONLY
- **Master key**: `sk-litellm-7f96080dd99b15c36bd4b333b58a6796` — ADMIN ONLY, never in agent configs
- **Agent keys**: Each agent has a dedicated key in LiteLLM's database with alias matching the agent name
- **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]`)
- **Legacy override** (pre-migration): `/home/jerome/.config/systemd/user/hermes-gateway.service.d/env.conf` — should be REMOVED
- **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)

PostgreSQL DB via `POST /key/generate` on CT 116. Keys are stored in the DB.
The env var `LITELLM_API_KEY` is injected at runtime via `infisical run --` wrapper

### Rule 7: Auxiliary Model Consistency (UPDATED 2026-07-16)
- Vision and web_extract use `gemma-4-12b` (RTX 5070 — 12GB, vision-optimized)
- Compression uses `strix-moe` (stable alias for Strix Halo — 64GB, 128K ctx, compression-optimized)
- **`strix-moe` is the only valid compression model name** — LiteLLM does NOT serve `ornith-1.0-35b`
(it serves `strix-moe`, `qwen3.6-35B-udq4`, `gpu-dense`, `gpu-light`, `syslog-auto`, `gemma-4-12b`, `qwen3.6-27B-code`). Old configs with `ornith-1.0-35b` cause 403/model-not-found on compression calls.
- **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:
- `base_url: http://192.168.68.116/litellm/v1` (Rule 5, 2026-08-09: canonical authenticated; `/v1` also OK)
### Rule 7: Auxiliary Model Consistency
- All auxiliary services (vision, web_extract, compression) MUST use the same model:
- `model: gemma-4-12b`
- `base_url: http://192.168.68.116/v1`
- `api_key_env: LITELLM_API_KEY`
- **Do NOT use `syslog-auto`** for auxiliary tasks — it routes unpredictably
- **Compression on Strix Halo**: The strix-moe alias routes to Strix Halo
(64GB UMA, 128K context) — the designated compression GPU. This frees the
RTX 5070 for vision and web search, and the RTX 3090 for heavy reasoning.
- The `compression:` block's `model` MUST match `auxiliary: compression: model`
- The `compression: max_context_window: 131072` MUST match actual GPU capacity (128K)
- **Do NOT use `syslog-auto`** for auxiliary tasks — it routes to the primary 35B reasoning GPU
- gemma-4-12b is a lightweight 12B model on the RTX 5070, keeping the Strix Halo free for reasoning
- The `compression:` block's `model` MUST match `auxiliary: compression: model` — they are two different configs for the same service
### Rule 8: GPU Workload Distribution (UPDATED 2026-07-16)
- **RTX 3090 (24GB, 128K ctx, qwen3.6-27B-code)**: Heavy reasoning, code gen, long conversations
- **RTX 5070 (12GB, 128K ctx, gemma-4-12b)**: Vision, web search, quick tasks, web_extract (IQ4_NL+MTP, ~65% VRAM at 128K)
- **Strix Halo (64GB, 128K ctx, syslog-auto)**: Context compression, summarization, long docs
- Agent profiles MUST route auxiliary tasks to the correct GPU:
- `auxiliary.vision.model: gemma-4-12b` (RTX 5070)
- `auxiliary.web_extract.model: gemma-4-12b` (RTX 5070)
- `auxiliary.compression.model: syslog-auto` (Strix Halo)
- Default model (`model.default`) and custom_provider remain `syslog-auto` for auto-routing
- For 128K context window: `threshold: 0.65` (fires at ~85K tokens)
### Rule 8: Compression Threshold for 256K Models
- For 262K context window: `threshold: 0.65` (fires at ~170K tokens)
- Do NOT use `threshold: 0.25` — this fires at 65K, causing premature context loss
- Do NOT use `threshold: 0.80` — this delays until ~105K, leaving only 23K margin
- `max_context_window: 131072` MUST match the model's actual capacity (128K)
- Do NOT use `threshold: 0.80` — this delays until 209K, risking the gateway hygiene layer
- `max_context_window: 262144` MUST match the model's actual capacity

### Rule 12: Context-Issue Diagnostic Checklist (ADDED 2026-07-16, WAL #1300)
When an agent shows "context issues" (premature compression, 401s, 504s, DeepSeek fallback),
verify ALL FOUR of these against the live config. They are the only root causes found in production:
1. **max_context_window correct?** — BOTH `compression.max_context_window` AND `context.max_context_window`
MUST be `131072` (all GPUs are 128K). A value of `262144` causes instability near 100K and must NOT be used.
~83K instead of ~170K. Check: `grep -n max_context_window ~/.hermes/config.yaml`
2. **base_url uses authenticated path?** — `custom_providers[0].base_url`, `delegation.base_url`,
and ALL `auxiliary.*.base_url` MUST be `http://192.168.68.116/litellm/v1` (Rule 5, canonical)
or `http://192.168.68.116/v1` (legacy, still authenticated via nginx). BOTH verified 200 with
key + 600s proxy_read_timeout on 2026-08-09. Never bare `:4000` direct.
Check: `grep -nE 'base_url: http://192.168.68.116(:4000)?/v1' ~/.hermes/config.yaml` — the
ONLY paths allowed are `/v1` or `/litellm/v1` (both via nginx :80).
`:4000` or missing `litellm/v1`/`v1` prefix = violation.
3. **LITELLM_API_KEY valid?** — The key must be a real LiteLLM key (`sk-` + 64 hex, 67 chars).
Malformed values (e.g. `sk-_SWAl_Vu_…`, 47 chars) return 401 → DeepSeek fallback.
Verify: `curl -s -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}' -H "Authorization: Bearer $LITELLM_API_KEY" http://192.168.68.116/v1/models` (must be 200)
4. **custom_providers aligned?** — `model: syslog-auto` (Rule 10), `api_mode: chat_completions`
(NOT `responses`). A wrong api_mode causes silent request failures.
One-line agent health check (run on the agent host):
```bash
# Use grep -v infisical to avoid matching the bash wrapper that contains the same string
PID=$(pgrep -f "python -m hermes_cli.main gateway run" | grep -v infisical | head -1)
cat /proc/$PID/environ | tr '\0' '\n' | grep ^LITELLM_API_KEY= | sed 's/=.*/<set>/'
curl -s -o /dev/null -w 'key_health: %{http_code}\n' -H "Authorization: Bearer $(cat /proc/$PID/environ | tr '\0' '\n' | grep ^LITELLM_API_KEY= | cut -d= -f2)" http://192.168.68.116/v1/models
```
### Rule 13: API Key Injection — Two Patterns (UPDATED 2026-07-16, WAL #1300)
### Rule 14: Hermes Context Detection Uses `max_model_tokens`, NOT `max_input_tokens`
**CRITICAL**: Hermes context detection reads `max_model_tokens` (128K), NOT `max_input_tokens` (64K cap).
- **Abiba and Hermes agents**: `max_model_tokens: 131072` (128K) — unlimited context
- **Crewmates (ops, tune, verify, auth-keys, build)**: `max_input_tokens: 64000` (64K) — capped
- If you see `max_input_tokens: 64000` in an Abiba/Hermes config, that's a mistake
- Using `max_input_tokens` for Hermes agents causes premature context loss
- Check: `grep -n 'max_model_tokens\|max_input_tokens' ~/.hermes/config.yaml`
- Expected output: `max_model_tokens: 131072` (not max_input_tokens)
Agents inject `LITELLM_API_KEY` via ONE of two mechanisms. Both are valid; the contract
requirement is that the key is a **valid LiteLLM virtual key** (HTTP 200 on /v1/models).
**Pattern A — systemd drop-in (Koby, Koonimo, and any agent without infisical wrapper):**
A systemd drop-in `/etc/systemd/system/hermes-gateway.service.d/litellm-key.conf` sets the key:
```ini
[Service]
Environment="LITELLM_API_KEY=sk-<VALID_KEY>"
```
The service unit `hermes-gateway.service` runs `python -m hermes_cli.main gateway run --replace`
directly (no infisical). Apply with `systemctl daemon-reload && systemctl restart hermes-gateway`.
- Koonimo (CT113/.114): service = `hermes-gateway.service`, drop-in has the key.
- Koby (CT111/.129): service = `hermes-gateway.service` (created 2026-07-16), ExecStart uses `--replace`
to win the lock against stray `hermes gateway restart` invocations. Key also in `/etc/environment`.
**Pattern B — infisical-gateway.sh wrapper (Mumuni):**
The wrapper sources `~/.hermes/.env` then exports `LITELLM_API_KEY="$<AGENT>_LITELLM_API_KEY"`.
See litellm-api-keys.prose.md § Machine Identity for Vault Writes for vault sync.
**⚠️ Vault empty-key guard:** If the vault stores the secret as an empty string,
the wrapper will inject an empty key and the gateway will silently get 401 errors
on all LiteLLM requests (triggering silent DeepSeek fallback). The `.env` fallback
is present but the vault takes precedence when the secret key exists (even if empty).
**Fix:** The wrapper MUST validate the key length after injection. If LITELLM_API_KEY
is empty or shorter than 20 chars, log a warning and either fail with a clear error
message or fall back to the `.env` value before starting the gateway.
**Verification (all agents):**
```bash
# Use grep -v infisical to avoid matching the bash wrapper that contains the same string
GP=$(pgrep -f "python -m hermes_cli.main gateway run" | grep -v infisical | head -1)
K=$(cat /proc/$GP/environ | tr '\0' '\n' | grep '^LITELLM_API_KEY=' | cut -d= -f2)
curl -s -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}' -H "Authorization: Bearer $K" http://192.168.68.116/v1/models # must be 200
```
- `/etc/environment` is NO LONGER the canonical key source (stale values there caused 401s).
- Do NOT leave a hardcoded stale key in `/etc/environment` — it shadows the drop-in/wrapper.
### Rule 14: Provider Name Must Match custom_providers Name (ADDED 2026-07-19, WAL #1471)
- `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
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.
### Rule 15: MCP Endpoint and Header Validation (ADDED 2026-08-07)
- Every MCP server entry must point at the correct endpoint:
- ra-h-os = http://192.168.68.65:3100/mcp
- litellm = https://litellm.sysloggh.net/mcp
- MCP entries must carry a REAL key value in the header.
- Avoid using env-var names like LITELLM_API_KEY in the header; they do not resolve for MCP
endpoints and result in "Malformed API Key" floods.
- Ensure the header value is the actual key (e.g., `sk-...`).

### 🔥 CRITICAL: Double-Path Bug (2026-07-10)

If `base_url` already includes `/litellm/v1/responses`, the result is:
```
http://192.168.68.116/litellm/v1/responses/v1/responses → 404

**Done.** No config file changes needed. No /etc/environment edits needed.

**Done.** No config file changes needed. The agent picks up the new key on restart.
## 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`, `koby`, `koonimo`). No dates, no versions. The alias IS the identity.
- **Alias convention**: bare agent name only (e.g., `tanko`, `mumuni`, `tdunna`, `baggy`). 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).

### Systemd Service Pattern (2026-07-04 fix)
### Migration Status: Authenticated Path
All Hermes agents use systemd to manage their gateway. Two issues were fixed:
| Agent | `/litellm/v1` | Legacy `/v1` | Status |
|-------|--------------|-------------|--------|
| Mumuni | ✅ harness provider | ✅ auxiliary on /v1 (valid) | ✅ Authenticated (verified 2026-08-09) |
| Tanko | ✅ 5 sections | 0 | ✅ Migrated 2026-08-08, keys 200 |
| Koby | ✅ custom provider (harness name) | — | ✅ External DeepSeek primary (intentional, captain ruling 2026-08-11) |
| Koonimo | ✅ .114 (baggy) | — | ✅ 128K context applied 2026-08-09 |
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`.
### Systemd Service Pattern (2026-07-11 — vault migration)
All Hermes agents use systemd to manage their gateway. The gateway service is wrapped
with `infisical run --` to inject secrets at runtime.
**Correct pattern (post-migration):**
**Correct pattern:**
```ini
# Service file wraps gateway with Infisical:
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/infisical run --project=agents --env=production -- \
/usr/bin/hermes gateway run
# /etc/environment is CLEAN — no LITELLM_API_KEY present
# (strip it and tag with # [INFISICAL] if present)
```
**Legacy pattern (deprecated — pre-migration only):**
```ini
# DO NOT USE post-migration:
# In service file:
EnvironmentFile=/etc/environment
# This pattern was replaced by infisical run -- wrapper
# Drop-in only for overrides, NOT primary key storage.
# If a drop-in exists, it must match /etc/environment.
```
**Rotation procedure** (one vault operation with this standard):
**Rotation procedure** (one step with this standard):
1. Generate new key in LiteLLM: `curl /key/generate` with agent alias

3. Restart: `systemctl restart hermes-gateway` (key auto-injected via wrapper)
2. Update `/etc/environment`: `sed -i 's/LITELLM_API_KEY=.*/LITELLM_API_KEY=sk-NEW/' /etc/environment`

description: >
Optimizes the full Syslog inference stack — LiteLLM routing weights, GPU model
assignments, agent context management, and prompt caching — to reduce response
times to sub-15s average. All GPUs now at 128K context (stable ceiling).
id: 067NC6KP02RG60S50M40E30928
---
### Goal
Syslog inference response times reduced to sub-15s average by optimizing the full
stack: LiteLLM routing weights, GPU model assignments, Hermes agent context
management, and prompt caching — without sacrificing agent capability.
### Requires
- `inference-metrics`: current SpendLogs from CT116 LiteLLM Postgres — avg
request_duration_ms, prompt_tokens, completion_tokens, model_group breakdown,
cache_hit rate over the last 3 hours
- `agent-configs`: current config.yaml from each active Hermes agent (Mumuni
.123, any others on .129/.122) including compression, model, context_window,
prompt_caching, memory settings
- `gpu-health`: health check response from all 3 GPU backends (strix-moe .15:8080,
qwen .8:8080, gemma .110:8080)
### Maintains
The optimized inference stack configuration — every change is applied and
verified end-to-end. Postcondition: avg request_duration_ms ≤ 15000 for 90% of
inference calls.
#### liteLLM-routing
The syslog-auto routing weights, model-specific timeouts, RPM limits, and
model_list entries on CT116 `/opt/inference-harness/litellm_config.yaml`.
#### agent-compression
Each Hermes agent's `~/.hermes/config.yaml` compression, context_window,
prompt_caching, and model sections.
#### prompt-caching
LiteLLM cache configuration and llama.cpp `--cache-prompt` flag on GPU hosts.
#### verification
End-to-end latency measurements after changes applied — at least 3 test
inference calls per model path measuring ttft (time-to-first-token) and total
duration.
### Continuity
- input-driven
### Strategies
**Context is the root cause.** Every ~46K prompt token costs ~87s of
prefill time at 532 tok/s. Fix context first, routing second.
- **Route by task**: qwen for code/standard queries; gemma for
compression/auxiliary; strix-moe for compression tasks.
- **Compress aggressively**: threshold at 40% (not 65%) — a 128K window should
compact at 51K, not 85K. Target 15% tail (not 30%).
- **Cache everything repeated**: system prompts, skill docs, AGENTS.md — these
never change between turns. Single-digit cache hit rate is unacceptable.
- **Lower context ceiling**: 128K window is the stable ceiling for agent conversations.
GPUs reduced from 256K to 128K (2026-07-17). 128K window should compact at 85K (0.65 threshold). For larger contexts, route to external providers.
### Shape
- `self`: analyze metrics, compute optimal configs, apply changes, verify
- `delegates`:
- `apply-liteLLM`: update litellm_config.yaml and reload
- `apply-agent-config`: update hermes config.yaml per agent
- `verify-latency`: run test inference calls and measure response

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.

> "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` |
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.

(`https://<node>:8006/api2/json/version`) and LiteLLM health
(`/litellm/health`, `301` → `/litellm/health/liveliness`). For those endpoints a
probe is **ALIVE** on **ANY** HTTP status — `401`/`403` auth challenges and `3xx`
redirects included — and **DOWN = connection refused (`000`) or timeout only**.
The PVE API legitimately answers `401` to an unauthenticated probe — that is the
healthy signal, not a failure. Same scoped rule as zulip-health (Tanko) and
gpu-monitor.
Probes whose success condition is specifically a bare `200` are NOT covered by
the any-HTTP rule. On those — the authenticated Zulip POST and the router
`/health` — an unexpected status (`401`/`403` from a bad or missing credential,
`5xx`, or anything other than the expected `200`) is an **ALERT**, not "alive".

**Report format**: Begin every report with the **absolute path the probe executed
from** (`pwd -P`, or the script's absolute path) so a stale-consumer report is
distinguishable from a real fault at read time. Summarize actual results from
each probe. Apply the any-HTTP-response liveness rule ONLY to the auth-gated PVE
API and LiteLLM endpoints above: only connection-refused (`000`) or timeout is
DOWN; empty output is a warning. For probes whose expected result is a bare `200`
(the authenticated Zulip POST, router `/health`), flag an alert on any unexpected
status (`401`/`403`/`5xx`) — do not summarize it as alive. A bare-`200`
expectation on the auth-gated PVE API (`401`) or LiteLLM health (`301` redirect)
is a stale expectation, not a fault.

## Wave 4: Proxmox Kernel Reboot
## Wave 4: Proxmox Kernel Reboot (if needed)
Only if `[ -f /var/run/reboot-required ]` on any node.
| Target | Action |
|--------|--------|
| Affected PVE node | Verify all CTs/VMs migrated or stopped |
| | `reboot` via PVE API (or `systemctl reboot -f` if dbus fails) |
| | `reboot` via PVE API |
| | Wait 120s for node to come back |
| | Start any stopped CTs |
### Post-reboot sweep (known gaps)
After every node reboot, run these checks:
1. **CT auto-start sweep** — LXC containers sometimes don't start despite
`onboot: 1`. Check every CT on the rebooted node and start any left stopped:
```bash
pct list | awk '/stopped/{print $1}' | xargs -I{} pct start {}
```
Known cases: scottdenya (CT 115 on amdpve), authentik (CT 104 on minipve).
2. **Zulip recovery** — When docker-vm or storepve reboots, the Zulip main
container loses its Docker network assignment (SIGKILL during storage
outage detaches it from `zulip_default` network). Run:
```bash
ssh root@192.168.68.19 'docker rm -f zulip-zulip-1 && cd /opt/zulip && docker compose up -d'
```
The compose restart recreates the container on the correct network.
3. **docker-vm Docker daemon** — After reboot, Docker can take 3-4 minutes
to become `active`. The docker-proxy for Pulse (port 7655) starts early,
so Pulse is accessible before `docker ps` reports ready. Wait for Docker
before checking other stacks.
### VPS ↔ docker-vm tunnel
After any VPS or docker-vm reboot, verify the dedicated WireGuard tunnel:
```bash
ssh root@72.61.0.17 'wg show wg1' | grep "latest handshake"
# If no handshake in >60s:
ssh root@72.61.0.17 'wg-quick up wg1'
```
The tunnel uses PersistentKeepalive=25 and is systemd-enabled, but should
be verified after a reboot.

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 v1.99.1 |
### 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/`
3. Add `headers: {x-litellm-api-key: "Bearer $LITELLM_API_KEY"}` to MCP config

Ensures agents never use the master key directly. Rotation is event-driven,
not calendar-driven — rotate only on compromise, personnel change, or
periodic security hygiene (quarterly/annually).
UPDATED 2026-07-12: Keys are stored in Infisical vault (project=agents, env=production)
BUT each agent host MUST keep a local .env fallback. Infisical service tokens can
expire/404. The .env fallback prevents agents from running without keys.
Tanko incident: token 404 → gateway had no LITELLM_API_KEY for hours.
UPDATED 2026-07-16: Vault is SYNCED (session-13 keys written to vault via abiba service
token, all validate 200). Koby/Koonimo migrated from hardcoded drop-ins to the
infisical-gateway.sh wrapper (live vault injection). 4/5 agents now vault-backed.
Canonical process: see § Production Vault Access Process. Tanko (user jerome) pending.
Abiba's key is now a proper agent key (NOT the master key — stale note removed).
UPDATED 2026-07-17: FLEET-WIDE STANDARDIZATION. All 4 agents (Mumuni, Tanko, Koby, Koonimo)
standardized on a single pattern: systemd drop-in (ExecStart= reset + wrapper path) →
infisical-gateway.sh while-true loop → /usr/bin/infisical run --token → bash -c key
injection → .env fallback → exec python. Systemd drop-ins are IMMUNE to hermes gateway
install which overwrites the unit file ExecStart. Infisical CLI updated to 0.43.109 on
all agents (was 0.38.0). Service token st.8e848433 shared across fleet (st.353699cd
for tanko was deleted). .env fallback on every agent protects against token loss.
Critical lessons: (1) NEVER use shell variables inside single-quoted bash -c in wrappers
— hardcode absolute paths. (2) Drop-ins override unit file ExecStart permanently.
(3) Capture /proc/<pid>/environ before gateway restarts to preserve running env set.
Current key inventory and agent list: see gpu-fleet.prose.md § Agent Keys.

- Return the new key
5. **If action == "rotate"**:
- Generate new key with same alias (LiteLLM replaces the old key)
- 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
- SSH to agent_host, update /etc/environment LITELLM_API_KEY
- Restart agent gateway (hermes gateway restart for Hermes agents)
- 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.

- Retrieve key from Infisical vault: `infisical secrets get LITELLM_API_KEY --project=<vault_project> --env=<vault_env>`
- SSH to agent, read /etc/environment
- Test the key against LiteLLM /v1/models

(Mumuni, Tanko, Koby, Koonimo) as of 2026-07-17. Abiba (pi) uses a similar pattern
through its agent wrapper.
### The canonical pattern
1. **infisical CLI** installed on the host at `/usr/bin/infisical` (v0.43.109+, from
artifacts-cli.infisical.com apt repo). Update procedure:
```bash
curl -1sLf 'https://artifacts-cli.infisical.com/setup.deb.sh' | sudo -E bash
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y infisical
# Remove stale old binary if present
rm -f /usr/local/bin/infisical /bin/infisical
```
Wrappers use absolute path `/usr/bin/infisical run`. Never rely on PATH resolution.
2. **Service token** (Infisical Machine Identity, `st.…`) stored at `~/.infisical-token`
(`chmod 600`). Current: shared `st.8e848433…` (abiba, READ+WRITE on agents project).
Tanko's `st.353699cd…` (tanko-agent) was deleted — reverted to shared token.
Proper: one machine identity per agent (create in Infisical UI → Project Settings →
Machine Identities).
3. **`infisical-gateway.sh` wrapper** at `~/.hermes/infisical-gateway.sh` (`chmod 700`):
```bash
#!/bin/bash
export INFISICAL_API_URL="https://vault.sysloggh.net"
TOKEN=$(cat $HOME/.infisical-token)
LOG=$HOME/.hermes/logs/gateway.log; mkdir -p $HOME/.hermes/logs
while true; do
echo "[$(date -Iseconds)] Starting gateway with Infisical injection..." >> $LOG
/usr/bin/infisical run --token="$TOKEN" \
--projectId=322fceab-39da-4854-a55a-568e76c0f13f \
--env=prod --domain=https://vault.sysloggh.net -- bash -c '
. $HOME/.hermes/.env 2>/dev/null # [FALLBACK Rule 3]
export LITELLM_API_KEY="${<AGENT>_LITELLM_API_KEY}"
export ZULIP_API_KEY="${<AGENT>_ZULIP_API_KEY}"
export ZULIP_SITE="https://chat.sysloggh.net"
export ZULIP_EMAIL="<agent>-bot@chat.sysloggh.net"
export SEARXNG_URL="http://192.168.68.7:8888"
# ⚠️ HARDCODE the full venv path. NEVER use $VENV inside single quotes.
exec /root/.hermes/hermes-agent/venv/bin/python -m hermes_cli.main gateway run
' >> $LOG 2>&1
EXIT_CODE=$?
echo "[$(date -Iseconds)] Gateway exited with code $EXIT_CODE — restarting in 5s..." >> $LOG
sleep 5
done
```
**CRITICAL: VENV PATH.** The inner `bash -c '...'` uses single quotes. Shell
variables set in the outer wrapper are NOT expanded inside single quotes.
`$VENV/bin/python` resolves to `/bin/python` (file not found). Always hardcode
the absolute path to the venv python binary.
4. **Agent key in vault** as `<AGENT>_LITELLM_API_KEY` and `<AGENT>_ZULIP_API_KEY`.
Vault = source of truth for ALL platform credentials.
5. **`.env` fallback** at `~/.hermes/.env` (`chmod 600`) with agent-specific keys —
safety net for vault outage or token revocation. Must be kept in sync on rotation.
Example:
```bash
MUMUNI_LITELLM_API_KEY=sk-OzuWsoX22Hmb3Ps3JY01gw
MUMUNI_ZULIP_API_KEY=H8dY6V7aHmWNcfgNtJaDBPZ1dGWn0Ttt
```
6. **systemd drop-in** at `~/.config/systemd/user/hermes-gateway.service.d/50-vault-wrapper.conf`:
```ini
[Service]
ExecStart=
ExecStart=/root/.hermes/infisical-gateway.sh
```
The `ExecStart=` (empty reset) clears any ExecStart from the main unit file,
then the second `ExecStart=` sets the wrapper. This drop-in **survives unit file
regeneration** by `hermes gateway install` — the drop-in always wins.
**Why a drop-in instead of editing the unit file:** `hermes gateway install`
(called during Hermes updates and some self-heal operations) regenerates the
systemd unit file with `ExecStart=/path/to/python -m hermes_cli.main gateway run`.
Editing the unit file directly is futile — it will be overwritten. The drop-in
approach explicitly resets ExecStart and sets the wrapper regardless of what the
main unit file says.
7. **NEVER hardcode** API keys in systemd drop-ins, config.yaml, or /etc/environment.
The wrapper injects live from vault at every start.
### Why this is non-fail
- **No rot**: keys pulled live from vault at every gateway start. Rotation = one `infisical secrets set` + `systemctl restart`. No per-host file edits.
- **Survives vault outage**: the `.env` fallback (Rule 3) keeps the gateway running if Infisical is unreachable or the service token is revoked.
- **Survives gateway crash**: the wrapper's `while true` + systemd `Restart=always` revive the gateway. Two-layer defense.
- **Survives Hermes updates**: systemd drop-in overrides unit file ExecStart — `hermes gateway install` cannot break the vault injection.
- **Survives reboot**: systemd user service + `loginctl enable-linger` ensures gateway starts at boot without a login session.
- **Auditable**: `cat /proc/$(pgrep -f 'python.*hermes_cli.main.gateway.run' | grep -v infisical | head -1)/environ` shows all injected keys (note: pipe through grep -v infisical to avoid matching the bash wrapper); `infisical secrets` shows the vault source.
### Migration status (2026-07-17)
| Agent | Host | Pattern | Keys | Status |
|-------|------|---------|------|--------|
| abiba | .24 | pi agent wrapper | ABIBA_LITELLM_API_KEY + ABIBA_ZULIP_API_KEY | ✅ vault-backed |
| mumuni | .14 (kagentz CT105) | systemd unit hermes-gateway.service (user hermes) | MUMUNI_LITELLM_API_KEY + MUMUNI_ZULIP_API_KEY | ✅ vault-backed + .env fallback |
| tanko | .122 | systemd drop-in + while-true wrapper + st.8e848433 (user jerome) | TANKO_LITELLM_API_KEY + TANKO_ZULIP_API_KEY | ✅ vault-backed + .env fallback |
| koby | .129 | systemd drop-in + while-true wrapper + st.8e848433 | KOBY_LITELLM_API_KEY, shares TANKO_ZULIP_API_KEY (tanko-bot) | ✅ vault-backed |
| koonimo | .114 | systemd drop-in + while-true wrapper + st.8e848433 | KOONIMO_LITELLM_API_KEY + KOONIMO_ZULIP_API_KEY | ✅ vault-backed |
> Tanko runs as user `jerome` — wrapper/token at `~/.hermes/infisical-gateway.sh` and
> `~/.infisical-token`. Linger enabled (`loginctl enable-linger jerome`) for boot startup.
### Tanko migration (COMPLETED 2026-07-17)
Tanko was the last agent migrated from hardcoded keys to vault wrapper.
Previously: key hardcoded in `/home/jerome/.hermes/config.yaml` (`api_key: sk-CggiHWlamQy…`)
and `zulip-env.conf` systemd drop-in. Now: user-scope systemd service with drop-in
`50-vault-wrapper.conf`, `infisical-gateway.sh` wrapper with while-true loop, token at
`~/.infisical-token`, `.env` fallback at `~/.hermes/.env`. Keys injected live from vault.
### Koby migration lessons (2026-07-16, updated 2026-07-17)
Migrated Koby from hardcoded systemd drop-in → `infisical-gateway.sh` wrapper.
**Three mistakes made:**
1. **Overwrote `/root/.hermes/.env`** without backing it up. The Zulip API key only existed
in the running process memory — the old .env was minimal (just LiteLLM key). Zulip creds were
inherited from the pre-migration gateway env, not stored in any file. Lost on restart.
2. **Only injected `LITELLM_API_KEY`** in the wrapper — forgot Zulip + Telegram credentials.
Agents need ALL their platform env vars. Missing vars cause silent adapter failures.
3. (2026-07-17 fix) **VENV variable in single-quoted bash -c**: `exec "$VENV/bin/python"`
inside single quotes resolved to `exec "/bin/python"` (file not found). Hardcoded full path.
**How Koby actually connects:**
- Zulip: shares **Tanko's bot** (`tanko-bot@chat.sysloggh.net`, `TANKO_ZULIP_API_KEY=5PeD6f3zo…`).
- Telegram: token from `.env` fallback. Allowed users: 6679773481.
- Both platforms now connect through the wrapper's env injection.
**Golden rules for gateway restarts:**
1. Always `cat /proc/<pid>/environ` before killing the old process — captures the live env set.
2. Hardcode venv python path in wrapper — never use variables inside single-quoted bash -c.
3. Use systemd drop-ins (not unit file edits) to override ExecStart — survives Hermes updates.
### Fleet-wide standardization lessons (2026-07-17)
After auditing all 4 agents, five systemic patterns caused repeated failures:
1. **Three incompatible startup patterns** coexisted (systemd drop-in, direct python, orphaned wrapper)
2. **Systemd unit files reverted** by `hermes gateway install` during updates
3. **VENV variable scoping** broke wrappers on Koby and Mumuni (single-quote bash -c)
4. **Service token expiry** — Tanko's `st.353699cd` was deleted from Infisical
5. **No ZULIP_API_KEY** in env on Tanko — wrapper bypassed by systemd direct python
All resolved by the canonical drop-in + while-true wrapper pattern documented above.
### Key rotation procedure (one vault operation with this standard)
1. Generate new key: `POST /key/generate` (master key, admin).
2. Update vault: `infisical secrets set <AGENT>_LITELLM_API_KEY=sk-NEW --token=$TOKEN --projectId=322fceab… --env=prod --domain=https://vault.sysloggh.net`.
3. Update `.env` fallback: `echo '<AGENT>_LITELLM_API_KEY=sk-NEW' > /root/.hermes/.env && chmod 600 /root/.hermes/.env`.
4. Restart: `systemctl restart hermes-gateway`. The wrapper pulls the new key live.
5. Verify: `curl -H "Authorization: Bearer sk-NEW" http://192.168.68.116/v1/models` → 200.
## Machine Identity for Vault Writes (UPDATED 2026-07-17)
**Current state:** Infisical CLI updated to v0.43.109 on all agents (from v0.38.0).
The v0.38.0 bug (user-session auth fails for `secrets set`/`export`) is resolved.
Service token `st.8e848433…` (abiba, READ+WRITE) can write to vault from CLI.
**Proper fix — per-agent Machine Identities:**
Create machine identities in Infisical UI → Project Settings → Machine Identities
for each agent with READ-only scope on the `agents` project. Store client_id +
client_secret per agent. Then vault writes use the shared abiba identity, and
reads use per-agent identities. This eliminates the single shared token risk.
**Service Token Inventory (2026-07-17):**
| Token ID | Name | Permissions | Used By | Status |
|----------|------|-------------|---------|--------|
| `st.8e848433…` | tanko-gateway | READ+WRITE | Mumuni, Tanko, Koby, Koonimo, Abiba | ✅ Active |
| `st.353699cd…` | tanko-agent | READ-only | — | ❌ Deleted from Infisical |
**Per-agent .env fallback inventory (2026-07-17):**
| Agent | .env Keys |
|-------|-----------|
| Mumuni | MUMUNI_LITELLM_API_KEY, MUMUNI_ZULIP_API_KEY |
|| Tanko | TANKO_LITELLM_API_KEY, TANKO_ZULIP_API_KEY |
|| Koby | (wrapper injects from vault — .env has Telegram token) |
|| Koonimo | KOONIMO_LITELLM_API_KEY, KOONIMO_ZULIP_API_KEY |
|| Agent Zero (kagentz .14) | OPENROUTER_API_KEY (direct OpenRouter access) |
### Agent Zero (kagentz .14) — OpenRouter Integration (2026-09-01)
Agent Zero runs in Docker on kagentz (CT105) and uses **direct OpenRouter API access**,
not via the LiteLLM proxy. This is because Agent Zero's workflow (self-update manager,
UI bootstrap, model selection) is built around OpenRouter's native authentication.
**Key Storage:**
- **Container**: `/a0/usr/.env` (line ~72: `API_KEY_OPENROUTER=sk-or-v1-…`)
- **Vault**: Infisical secret `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` (project=agents, env=production)
- **Fallback**: The container's .env is the primary source; vault sync is optional
(unlike fleet agents which require vault injection)
**Current Key (2026-09-01):**
- **Prefix**: `sk-or-v1-0af3f3…`
- **User**: `user_2rt9lCqcd5d7Vk1t18DHsvWdPTT`
- **Plan**: Paid (not free tier)
- **Usage**: 0 (as of 2026-09-01)
**Model Configuration:**
- **Preset**: "Cost Efficient" (`/a0/usr/plugins/_model_config/presets.yaml`)
- **Model**: `openrouter/moonshotai/kimi-k3`
- **API Base**: (empty — uses OpenRouter default)
**Why not LiteLLM proxy?**
Agent Zero's architecture was designed before the fleet adopted the LiteLLM proxy
standard. The container runs `/exe/self_update_manager.py` and `/a0/run_ui.py` which
directly call OpenRouter via Python's requests library. Converting would require:
1. Refactoring all LLM calls to use `litellm` library
2. Adding vault wrapper injection
3. Updating self_update_manager to use proxy-aware key handling
**Rotation Procedure:**
1. Generate new key in OpenRouter UI
2. Update container: `sed -i 's/^API_KEY_OPENROUTER=.*/API_KEY_OPENROUTER=<new_key>/' /a0/usr/.env`
3. Update vault: `infisical secrets set OPENROUTER_API_KEY=<new_key> --projectId=agents --env=production`
4. Restart container: `sudo docker exec agent-zero supervisorctl restart run_ui`
5. Verify: `curl -s https://openrouter.ai/api/v1/auth/key -H "Authorization: Bearer <new_key>"`

## Key Rotation Log
| Date | Agent | Action | Notes |
|------|-------|--------|-------|
| 2026-07-17 | fleet | standardize | All 4 agents standardized on systemd drop-in + while-true wrapper + infisical v0.43.109. Removed conflicting zulip-env.conf + litellm-key.conf drop-ins. Added .env fallbacks with ZULIP keys. WAL #1322. |
| 2026-07-17 | tanko | fix-zulip | Added ZULIP_API_KEY to env (was missing — systemd bypassed vault). Updated wrapper from exec to while-true. Created .env fallback. Removed hardcoded zulip-env.conf drop-in. WAL #1321. |
| 2026-07-16 | vault | cleanup | 4 stale secrets deprecated. 5 personal creds flagged. |
| 2026-07-16 | koonimo | add-zulip | Added KOONIMO_ZULIP_API_KEY to vault. Wrapper injects ZULIP_API_KEY + ZULIP_EMAIL. 3 platforms. |
| 2026-07-16 | tanko | migrate | Migrated from hardcoded config.yaml to infisical-gateway.sh + st.353699cd. NOTE: st.353699cd later deleted — reverted to st.8e848433 on 2026-07-17. |
| 2026-07-16 | mumuni | rotate | Old key malformed (sk-_SWAl_Vu_, 47 chars, not LiteLLM format) → 401. Deleted old `mumuni` key (token 15cbca18…), generated fresh (alias `mumuni`, 7 models: syslog-auto, qwen3.6-27B-code, gemma-4-12b, strix-moe, gpu-dense, gpu-light, qwen3.6-35B-udq4). New key sk-OzuWsoX2… written to /root/.hermes/.env (Rule 3/13 fallback). Vault sync PENDING (needs machine identity). WAL #1300. |
| 2026-07-16 | koby | rotate | Old key sk-6sbCNjz (401, stale in /etc/environment). Deleted old `koby` key, generated fresh (alias `koby`). New key sk-BqRRMboTI… in systemd drop-in `hermes-gateway.service.d/litellm-key.conf` + /etc/environment. Created `hermes-gateway.service` unit (was missing — gateway wasn't persistent) with `--replace`. Verified HTTP 200, Telegram connected. |
| 2026-07-16 | baggy (koonimo) | rotate | Old key sk-krnw_zGB (401, hardcoded in systemd drop-in). Deleted old `baggy` key, generated fresh (alias `baggy`, metadata agent=koonimo). New key sk-OEK7z26n6E… in drop-in `hermes-gateway.service.d/litellm-key.conf`. CT113 IP changed .113→.114. Verified HTTP 200, Zulip connected. |
## LiteLLM Master Key (use sparingly — agents should NOT use it directly)
- Master key: `sk-litellm-7f96080dd99b15c36bd4b333b58a6796` (in /opt/inference-harness/.env on CT116, Infisical project=infrastructure env=production secret=LITELLM_MASTER_KEY)
- Used for /key/generate, /key/delete, /key/list (GET), DB queries
- **Known violation (RESOLVED 2026-07-16):** Abiba's LITELLM_API_KEY was previously the master key.
It is now a dedicated agent key `sk-sxbphLvk1OU…` (vault secret `ABIBA_LITELLM_API_KEY`, alias `abiba-pi`).
The master key is admin-only (/key/generate, /key/delete, /key/list). NEVER use it for inference —
see `litellm-self-heal` § "NEVER use litellm_proxy_master_key for inference".
- LiteLLM key DB: `harness-postgres` container on CT116, table `"LiteLLM_VerificationToken"` (columns: token, key_alias, key_name, created_at, expires). Query: `docker exec harness-postgres psql -U litellm -d litellm -t -c "SELECT key_alias, substr(token,1,16) FROM \"LiteLLM_VerificationToken\" ORDER BY created_at;"`

Standard client timeout and retry policy for ALL agents calling LiteLLM
(CT 116, http://192.168.68.116). Created 2026-09-08 after the Sep 6 incident:
a backend stall 04:00-06:30 EDT produced 157 client-abandoned 408 failures
(82% from abiba-pi, 13 from mumuni) against a backend that was actually
succeeding at 20-70s per call once clients stopped giving up. Grounded in
measured data: syslog-auto (LiteLLM virtual model, no dedicated GPU — routes
to backends) averages 28.8s/request with 25.4s TTFT over 888 calls/24h;
nginx already allows 600s (Rule 5, verified 2026-08-09); the gap is entirely
client-side. Blast radius if wrong: agents fall back to DeepSeek silently
(key/timeout failures present as model degradation, not errors) or abandon
healthy-but-slow reasoning calls, fragmenting long tasks.
---
## Maintains
- client_timeout_standard: "litellm-client-timeouts v1.0 (2026-09-08)"
- applies_to: ALL agents and scripts calling http://192.168.68.116 (main model path, auxiliary tasks, health probes, benchmark jobs)
- verified_against: Prometheus litellm_* metrics 24h window ending 2026-09-08 ~10:00 EDT; live probe (syslog-auto tiny call 0.56s TTFB, 200 OK); nginx 600s proxy_read_timeout (Rule 5)
## The measured numbers these values come from
| Model | avg latency | avg TTFT | p-profile (24h) |
|---|---|---|---|
| syslog-auto | 28.8s | 25.4s | 68 calls took 30-120s; tail to ~300s under load |
| qwen3.6-27B-code | 23.0s | — | same backend class as syslog-auto |
| strix-moe | 7.5s | — | Strix Halo, healthy |
| gemma-4-12b | 2.6s | — | RTX 5070, healthy |
Sep 6 incident timeline: failures 04:00-07:00 EDT (0% GPU util = wedged
backend), full recovery 07:00-08:00 with ZERO client failures once requests
tolerated 20-70s — 392 successful slow calls in the three hours after recovery.
LiteLLM's internal queue time is ~0s; the latency is model inference, not
proxy queuing.
## Parameters
### 1. Primary model path (model.default / custom_providers) — NO client timeout below 300s
- The default Hermes HTTP timeout (~60s) is TOO SHORT for syslog-auto's healthy
28.8s average + 120-300s tail. Every 408 in the incident was a client
abandoning a request the backend would have answered.
- If the transport exposes a timeout setting for the main model, set it to
**300s or more**. If it does not (current Hermes custom-provider path has no
timeout knob), that is acceptable ONLY because nginx holds the request for
600s — but any wrapper, script, or direct API call you write MUST set its own
timeout >= 300s for syslog-auto/qwen-class calls.
- Never hardcode a shorter timeout "to fail fast" on this path — failing fast
here is what caused the incident.
### 2. Auxiliary tasks — keep template timeouts, one correction
- vision: 60s (keep), web_extract: 30s (keep) — gemma-4-12b averages 2.6s;
these are fine.
- compression: 300s (keep — this was already raised from 60 per gpu-fleet).
- **gpu-dense delegation/x_search: set timeout >= 120s.** The RTX 3090
(qwen3.6-27B-code backend, 23.0s avg) is the same speed class as
syslog-auto; delegation defaults that assume fast responses will 408 the
same way.
### 3. Retry policy — backoff, not repetition
- On timeout (408) or 5xx: retry up to **2 times** with exponential backoff
(**15s, 45s**) before giving up.
- Do NOT retry in a tight loop. The Sep 6 spike shape (65 failures in one hour
from one key) was a batch job retrying without backoff while the backend was
down — it multiplied load during recovery.
- On 401/403: do NOT retry — that is a key/permission problem (see
litellm-api-keys.prose.md and Rule 11); retrying just spams the log.
- On 429: honor the retry-after header if present, else back off 60s.
### 4. Health probes — identify yourself and time out sanely
- Probes MUST NOT appear as keyless, model-less failures in the metrics (12
such orphans appeared in the incident window and cost investigation time).
Send a real model name and use a real (probe-designated) key.
- Probe timeout: 30s. A probe that takes longer than 30s IS the alert —
report "backend slow (>30s)" rather than hanging.
- Probe cadence: at most hourly. The 6h litellm-health cron cadence is the
standard; sub-hourly synthetic traffic distorts latency baselines.
### 5. Batch/benchmark jobs — schedule away from 04:00-07:00 EDT and chunk
- The incident window showed bulk clients amplifying a backend stall 5:1.
- Batch jobs that can tolerate delay: schedule 09:00-17:00 EDT.
- Any batch loop over N requests MUST sleep >= 5s between requests and honor
the retry policy in section 3.
## Returns
- A single standard any agent or script can cite: timeouts >= 300s on the
syslog-auto path, >= 120s on gpu-dense delegation, backoff retries (2x,
15s/45s), identified probes at 30s/hourly, batch jobs chunked and
day-scheduled.
- Failure signature recognition: bulk 408s from multiple keys in one window =
backend event (check gpu_utilization_percent: 0% = wedged, ~100% = saturated);
single-key 408s = that client's timeout is too short.
- Cross-references: hermes-config-template.prose.md (Rule 5 nginx 600s,
auxiliary timeouts), gpu-fleet.prose.md (compression 300s precedent,
stable aliases), litellm-api-keys.prose.md (key/permission failures).
## Intentionally NOT changed
- No server-side LiteLLM timeout/cooldown changes proposed — the incident
self-recovered and the server is healthy (0.56s live probe); changing
server behavior without process-level root cause (CT116 requires root;
not reachable from kagentz) would be guessing.
- No change to the template's vision/web_extract/compression timeouts —
measured data says they are correct.
- No per-agent key permission changes — those are litellm-api-keys.prose.md
territory (and the open gpu-vision/gemma 403 items are already filed with
the key owners).
- No model routing changes — syslog-auto's weighted pool behaved correctly
throughout the incident.

> Verified on ground 2026-07-16 via `curl /v1/models` on each host + `llama-wrapper.sh`. The AMD host's underlying model is `qwen3.6-35B-udq4`; LiteLLM exposes it under two `model_name`s: `qwen3.6-35B-udq4` and `strix-moe` (rpm 40). The legacy name `ornith-1.0-35b` does NOT exist in LiteLLM and must not be referenced.
## LiteLLM Model Surface (ground truth — `/opt/inference-harness/litellm_config.yaml` on CT 116)
`model_name`s served: `qwen3.6-27B-code`, `gemma-4-12b`, `qwen3.6-35B-udq4`, `strix-moe`, `gpu-dense`, `gpu-light`, `syslog-auto`, `crew-auto` (new 2026-08-20).
### Context Cap Split (2026-08-20)
- **Abiba (firstmate)**: 128K uncapped — unlimited context for primary workloads
- **Hermes agents** (mumuni, tanko, koby, koonimo): 128K uncapped
- **Crewmates** (ops, tune, verify, auth-keys, build): 64K capped — alias `crew-auto` enforces 64K limit
Preferred implementation: uncap shared pool, add capped alias for crew-only.
- `syslog-auto` is a weighted router model: qwen3.6-27B-code (0.55, rpm 500) + qwen3.6-35B-udq4 (0.30, rpm 60) + gemma-4-12b (0.15, rpm 200).
- `gpu-dense` / `gpu-light` are high-rpm aliases (rpm 500) onto qwen3.6-27B-code / gemma-4-12b respectively.
- Key scoping: agent keys are restricted to `['syslog-auto','qwen3.6-27B-code','gemma-4-12b','strix-moe','gpu-dense','gpu-light']`. As of 2026-07-16 the `baggy`/`koby`/`mumuni`/`abiba-pi` keys ALSO include `qwen3.6-35B-udq4`; `abiba-pi` additionally includes `deepseek-v4-pro` (cloud fallback). `kagenz0`/`koonimo`/`pi-agents-unified` have the standard 6 only. Agents should still use the stable alias `strix-moe` (not the raw `qwen3.6-35B-udq4`) so model swaps don't break them.
- **NEVER use `litellm_proxy_master_key` (the `sk-litellm-...` master key) for inference.** It is for admin endpoints only (`/key/list`, `/key/generate`, `/key/info`). All inference — agent traffic, health-check model tests, monitor scripts — uses agent-specific keys. The health-check script's model tests use a dedicated `monitor` agent key stored at `/etc/litellm-monitor.env` on CT 116 (root-only, `chmod 600`); `/key/list` is the only call that legitimately uses `$MASTER_KEY`.

## Script Operations (synced 2026-07-16)
- **Health-check script** (`/opt/inference-harness/scripts/litellm-health-check.sh` on CT 116): `gpu-fleet` check fails only on **critical** alerts (warnings are informational). Tests `strix-moe` (not `ornith-1.0-35b`).
- **GPU monitor** (`/root/scripts/gpu-monitor-server.py` on pi .24): runs as **systemd unit `gpu-monitor.service`** (was bare `&` process). `gpu_count` includes Strix Halo (was 2, now 3). VRAM alert thresholds: warning 93%, critical 97% (raised from 90/95 — 128K context steady-state is ~70% on RTX 3090, not a fault).
- **Agent key monitor** (`/root/scripts/agent-health-check.py` on pi .24, cron `*/10`): v4 (2026-09-10) — vault-backed agents (tanko/koby/koonimo) read their **agent-specific** `{NAME}_LITELLM_API_KEY` from Infisical vault (not the shared master key); abiba (pi agent) reads `LITELLM_API_KEY` from its local `/root/.pi/agent/env.sh` (#735 — moved out of shared `/root/.bashrc`), not from the vault. Abiba is pi-only since the harness purge, so its Hermes config/wrapper/gateway legs are skipped rather than reported as faults; koby is **report-only** (captain's 2026-08-17 ruling) — its findings go to the `--json` `report_only` array and are never counted as fleet failures or repaired, and its CT 111 liveness is probed on storepve (.6). Covers: LiteLLM keys, GPU ports, agent gateways, CT liveness (pct status on PVE nodes), config.yaml YAML integrity, wrapper/CLI integrity, vault secret non-emptiness checks. Every run/report carries the absolute execution path (`script=` + `cwd=`). The current fleet roster is owned by the script changelog (`scripts/agent-health-check.py`); mumuni is no longer probed from this host. Legacy `tdunna`/`baggy` replaced with canonical agent hostnames.
- **Stale keys cleaned**: `daily-infra-report.py` SYNTHETIC_API_KEY was stale (`sk-U_ydi3B` → 401); now reads `LITELLM_MASTER_KEY` from env. Deprecated scripts (`router-original.py`, `router-phase0-backup.py`, `apply-fixes.py`) still reference `sk-syslog-local-master-key` but do not actively poll LiteLLM.

description: >
Auto-fix low-hanging fruit in the RA-H OS knowledge graph. No judgment calls — only deterministic Level 1 operations.
Escalate anything that needs Kwame's input. Executes confirmed Kwame decisions to completion (state + updated_at).
version: 2.1.0

# Memory Fixer
> **Canonical copy:** `/root/.hermes/contracts/memory-fixer-v3.md` (used by the `memory-fixer-daily` cron job). This file is the institutional record of the same contract. When the two diverge, treat the v3 source in `/root/.hermes/contracts/` as executable truth.
## Purpose
Auto-fix low-hanging fruit in the graph. No judgment calls — only deterministic Level 1 operations. Escalate anything that needs Kwame's input. When Kwame replies to an escalation, **execute the decision to completion** (update state and timestamps), never leaving a node in review-pending forever.
**Type:** Write-only (Level 1 fixes only)
**Scope:** RA-H OS knowledge graph (192.168.68.65)
**Schedule:** Daily at 8 AM ET
**Escalation:** Level 2+ to Kwame as task items
## Key Design Decision
The `updateNode` tool's `metadata` field performs a **restricted merge** — the `state` key only accepts `'processed'` or `'not_processed'`. Additionally, new metadata keys cannot be added via the merge.
**Solution:** Use the `description` field to tag stale nodes with review actions, since `description` is a simple string overwritable via `updateNode`.
**Tag Format:** `[REVIEW: action] original description text...`
Where `action` is one of:
- `archive` — node is stale and should be archived
- `refresh` — node is stale and should be refreshed (infrastructure)
- `keep` — node has been confirmed as current
- `merge` — node is a duplicate candidate
**Query for finding review-tagged nodes:**
```sql
SELECT id, title, description
FROM nodes
WHERE description LIKE '[REVIEW:%';
```
## Level 1 Auto-Fixes (No Kwame Decision Needed)
### 1. Missing `type` Auto-Classification
```sql
SELECT id, title,

### 3. Staleness Review Tagging (refresh-suggested nodes only)
Using the type-based windows from the memory-monitor contract, tag nodes stale beyond their window. **Only process a maximum of 10 nodes per run** to avoid overwhelming Kwame. Prioritize infrastructure first, then dynamic, then ephemeral.
**Archive-suggested nodes are NO LONGER tagged — they are archived outright (see Level 1 fix 4).** Tagging with `[REVIEW: refresh]` applies only to living nodes (infrastructure, deployment, system, system-health, business, philosophy, research, learning, investigation, analysis, project, agent, registry, policy).
**Exclusion Rules:**
- Nodes with `state` = `review_pending`, `deprecated`, `archived`, or `not_processed` are NOT processed
- Nodes whose `description` already starts with `[REVIEW:` or `[ARCHIVED]` are NOT re-processed
```sql
SELECT id, title, json_extract(metadata, '$.type') as node_type,
CAST(julianday('now') - julianday(updated_at) AS INTEGER) as days_stale,
CASE
WHEN json_extract(metadata, '$.type') IN ('infrastructure', 'deployment', 'system', 'system-health') THEN 'refresh'

ELSE 'archive'
END as suggested_action

AND json_extract(metadata, '$.state') NOT IN ('review_pending', 'deprecated', 'archived', 'not_processed')
AND (description IS NULL OR description NOT LIKE '[REVIEW:%')
ORDER BY days_stale ASC
LIMIT 10;
```
For each identified node, call `updateNode(id, { description: "[REVIEW: action] " + originalDescription })`.
### 4. Stale-Node Archiving (Level 1 — standing Kwame directive, 2026-09-11)
**Kwame's standing directive: stale nodes CAN be archived by the fixer. No per-batch escalation, no `[REVIEW: archive]` tagging — archive them.**
For every node whose suggested action is `archive` (i.e. its type is NOT one of the living types in fix 3), archive it in a **single** `updateNode` call:
```python
updateNode(id, {
"description": "[ARCHIVED] " + originalDescriptionWithoutReviewTag,
"metadata": {"state": "archived"}
})
```
- `state` transitions **DO work through `updateNode`** (`archived`, and back to `active`). The former "state only accepts processed/not_processed, use SSH" claim was wrong — verified 2026-09-11 by archiving 7 nodes (#61, #373, #388, #465, #475, #526, #1476) over the bridge with `updated_at` auto-bumping. **SSH to the bridge host is a fallback, not a requirement**, and it is blocked from kagentz anyway.
- Pass `description` and `metadata` in the **same** call, and always keep the `updates` object nested: `{"id": N, "updates": {…}}`.
- Archiving is non-destructive: the node stays in the graph, marked `state: archived` + `[ARCHIVED] ` prefix. **Living nodes (refresh-suggested) are NEVER archived** without a specific Kwame decision — they are the cluster/agent/business canon.
**Archive candidates are identified by the fix 3 query's `suggested_action = 'archive'` branch** (the `ELSE 'archive'` case: anything not an infrastructure/skill/documentation/strategic/audit type).
## Level 2 Escalations (Kwame Decision Required)
1. **Refresh-suggested stale nodes** flagged with `[REVIEW: refresh]` — refresh or keep? (Archive-suggested nodes are auto-archived under fix 4 and are not escalated.)
2. **Duplicate Nodes** (same title or >70% title overlap) — Merge or keep?
3. **Orphan Nodes >90 days old** — Archive or connect?
## Reporting Format
The fixer reports to Kwame via this Zulip DM:
```
🦅 Memory Fixer — [HH:MM UTC]
Level 1 fixes applied:
- Missing type: X nodes classified
- Missing namespace: Y nodes populated
Stale nodes needing review (max 10):
1. [Node #XXX] Title — X days stale, SUGGEST: refresh
2. [Node #YYY] Title — Y days stale, SUGGEST: archive
...
Duplicates needing decision:
1. [Node #AAA] vs [Node #BBB] — Same title
Orphans >90 days:
1. [Node #EEE] Title — X days stale, orphaned
Reply with:
- "archive #XXX, #YYY" to mark for archive
- "archive all" to archive all stale nodes listed
- "keep #XXX" to confirm a node is current
- "merge #AAA into #BBB" to merge duplicates
- "refresh #XXX" to mark as current
```
## Execution on Next Run
The fixer reads Kwame's previous response and **executes the decision to completion** — it must not leave a node in review-pending forever. Tagging alone is NOT enough; each confirmed decision must also update `state` and `updated_at` so the node drops out of the stale window on the next run.
> ⚠️ **Corrected 2026-09-11:** `updateNode` DOES accept `state` changes — `{"updates": {"description": …, "metadata": {"state": "archived"}}}` works over the bridge, and `updated_at` bumps automatically. The old "use direct SSH + SQLite for state transitions" instruction was based on a wrong assumption; SSH is a fallback only (and is blocked from kagentz). Use one `updateNode` call for both the tag and the state.
> ```bash
> ssh root@192.168.68.65 "sqlite3 /root/.local/share/RA-H/db/rah.sqlite \"UPDATE nodes SET metadata = json_set(metadata, '$.state', '<state>'), updated_at = datetime('now') WHERE id = <id>;\""
> ```
> Use `updateNode` only for description/source/title/link edits.
Decision → completed action mapping:
| Kwame reply | Description change | State | `updated_at` |
|---|---|---|---|
| `archive #XXX` | replace `[REVIEW: archive] ` → `[ARCHIVED] ` prefix | `archived` | bumped to now |
| `keep #XXX` / `refresh #XXX` | **clear the `[REVIEW: …]` tag entirely** | `active` | bumped to now |
| `merge #AAA into #BBB` | set `[REVIEW: merge_into #BBB]` on #AAA, then follow manual merge workflow | handled manually | bumped to now |
| `archive all` | apply the archive row to every node listed in the prior report | `archived` | bumped to now |
**Why `updated_at` must be bumped (critical):** the Level-1 staleness query keys off `updated_at < now - window`. If the fixer clears the tag but leaves a stale `updated_at`, the node is immediately re-flagged on the very next run and the cycle repeats forever. Bumping `updated_at` to now pushes the node back to the front of the window.
**Exclusion after action:** once an action is applied, the node's description no longer starts with `[REVIEW:` (archive → `[ARCHIVED]`, refresh/keep → original text), so it is not re-processed.
After all actions are applied, verify with:
```sql
SELECT id, json_extract(metadata, '$.state') FROM nodes WHERE description LIKE '[REVIEW:%';
```
The result must be 0 rows when all decisions are executed. Report what was done.
## Checks
- **State integrity:** archived nodes have `state: archived` + `[ARCHIVED]` prefix; kept nodes are `state: active` without a `[REVIEW:]` tag.
- **Auto-archive applied:** no node should ever be left tagged `[REVIEW: archive]` — that tag is retired. Any `[REVIEW: archive]` found means fix 4 was skipped; archive it and report.
- **No review-pending forever:** after executing Kwame's decisions, `[REVIEW:%` node count must be 0.
- **Timestamps:** every executed decision (and every auto-archive) bumps `updated_at`, so the node exits the stale window on the next run.

## Data Source Integrity (CRITICAL)
**Workers MUST use the data provided in their task context. They MUST NOT
fetch their own data from external sources unless explicitly told to.**
When a task says "Read file X and format it", the worker reads file X. It does
not query a separate API, run its own diagnostics, or pull data from a different
system. This is the #1 source of cross-worker inconsistency: one worker gathers
SSH data, another queries the Proxmox API, and the report merges two incompatible
datasets.
**Rule:** If a worker needs additional data beyond what's in its task description,
it asks the manager (via relay) — it doesn't go find it on its own.
**This is a hard rule, not a recommendation.** Violating it produces the exact
type of discrepancy the kanban pipeline exists to prevent: a review worker finds
"5 nodes present" in the raw data but "5/5 online" in the report — even though
one of those nodes was unreachable. The report lied because it used data the
raw data never provided.

Changelog:
v2 (2026-07-26): Added CT liveness, config validation, wrapper integrity,
vault secret emptiness check. Fixed Koby/Koonimo SSH hosts and agent key
name format ({NAME}_LITELLM_API_KEY not LITELLM_API_KEY_{NAME}).
Fleet roster: tanko (.122), koby (.129), koonimo (.114), abiba (.24).
(v2 also carried a mumuni probe; see v5 — mumuni is no longer probed: she
moved to her own container, kagentz CT 105 / .14, and is monitored there.)
v3 (2026-09-08): GPU unit repoint verified live (.8 llama-chat-api.service,
.110 llama-server.service, .15 strix-server.service) — .8 was probing a stale
llama-server unit that reads inactive, producing false UNREACHABLE legs.
systemctl is-active no longer swallows non-zero exit as SSH failure.
Fixed UnboundLocalError on the abiba/koonimo gateway leg (pid unbound in the
summary f-string). Abiba's LiteLLM key now comes from /root/.pi/agent/env.sh
(#735 agent separation; creds moved out of shared /root/.bashrc).
v4 (2026-09-10): probe-drift round 2 (prose-contracts follow-up to #65/#66/#68).
abiba declared pi-only runtime — Hermes-era config/wrapper/gateway checks are
skipped (harness purge). koby declared report_only per the captain's
2026-08-17 ruling: every koby leg is detected and reported, never counted as a
fleet failure and never repaired. koby's PVE mapping corrected to storepve
(CT 111 tdunna lives on .6 — the old amdpve mapping produced a false
ct-unreachable). The wrapper infisical-path check had two stale-expectation
bugs: it read only the first 20 lines of the wrapper, so koonimo (whose
wrapper does reference /usr/bin/infisical, just past line 20) was falsely
FAILed as "path may be wrong"; and it treated the absence of any infisical
reference as a fault, though koby's wrapper sources the key from
~/.hermes/.env and never invokes infisical. The check now reads the full
wrapper body, accepts a no-infisical wrapper, and verifies that any absolute
infisical path the wrapper references actually exists. Report-only findings
are surfaced in a machine-readable `report_only` array in --json output,
separate from `failures`. Every run prints absolute execution provenance
(script + cwd) in the header, in the cron ALERT line, and in --json output so
a stale-consumer report is distinguishable from a fault at read time.
v5 (2026-09-10): roster correction only, no behavior change. mumuni was removed
from the AGENTS dict when she moved off this host onto her own container
(kagentz CT 105 on minipve, .14, dedicated `hermes` user) and is monitored
from her side. This script must not probe mumuni or .24 — the v2 changelog
roster line was the last reference still placing her at .24 / CT100.

"""Regression tests for the 2026-09-10 retirement of the Mumuni monitoring leg.
WHY THIS FILE EXISTS: captain ruling 2026-09-10 — Mumuni moved off this host
onto her own container (kagentz CT 105 on minipve, 192.168.68.14, dedicated
`hermes` user) and is monitored from her side. The monitor nevertheless kept
ssh'ing to root@192.168.68.24 for `~/.hermes/gateway_state.json` on the
decommissioned deployment, read "unknown" on every run, and posted a false 🔴
"Mumuni (Hermes) Zulip state: unknown" DM + #agent-hub stream alert to the
captain. The daily infra digest published a matching `mumuni:unknown` row.
CONTRACT UNDER TEST:
* `scripts/zulip-monitor.sh` carries NO Mumuni probe and NO 192.168.68.24
reference; it never ssh'es .24, and even on a failing run it emits no Mumuni
notify (stdout alert, Zulip payload, or log line).
* The Abiba (pi — the Zulip bridge), Tanko (DSH) and Agent Zero (kagentz) legs
still work: deleting the Mumuni leg must not have gutted the rest.
* `scripts/daily-infra-report.py` no longer probes .24 for a Hermes gateway
state and no longer emits a `mumuni` agent entry.
* `scripts/agent-health-check.py`'s AGENTS roster has no mumuni entry. This is
a pin, not a behavior change — verify the probe was already gone.
* `zulip-health.prose.md` retires the Mumuni-only steps and says explicitly
that Mumuni is not monitored from this host.
HOW: behavioral execution plus one named deliverable-text contract. The sandbox
copies the shipped monitor verbatim and rewrites only its LOG constant, then
runs it with stub ssh/curl on PATH; the ssh stub records every host it is asked
to reach, so "never probes .24" and "no Mumuni notify" are asserted from
observed behavior. The daily digest is pinned by importing it and exercising
collect() and build_html() directly. The single source-text assertion is the
deliverable-text contract the captain acceptance names for the shipped monitor.
Usage: python3 -m pytest tests/test_mumuni_monitor_removal.py

"""Regression tests for the 2026-09-09/10 probe-drift corrections.
WHY THIS FILE EXISTS: the monitoring contracts kept emitting false alarms from
stale expectations rather than live faults.
* agent-health-check v3 reported 6 failures that were all stale expectations:
abiba (pi-only since the harness purge) was tested as a Hermes host, koby
(report-only per the captain's 2026-08-17 ruling) was counted as repairable,
koby's CT 111 was probed on amdpve where it does not exist (it runs on
storepve .6), and the wrapper infisical check had two bugs — it read only
the first 20 lines, so koonimo's wrapper (which references /usr/bin/infisical
past line 20) false-failed, and it treated koby's genuine no-infisical
(~/.hermes/.env) wrapper as broken.
* gpu-monitor emitted "DEGRADED — GPU-rtx3090 000, GPU-rtx5070 000" three
times from probing bare port 80 on GPU hosts while :8080 answered 200.
* infrastructure-monitoring probed CT 116 for the PVE API (no pveproxy ->
000) instead of the five real cluster nodes, which answer 401 = alive.
These tests execute the health script (with SSH/vault stubbed) and the real
provenance consumer (scripts/prose-lint.sh), and parse the contracts' executable
check-health probe blocks into normalized probe sets. No live network, vault, or
SSH access is required.

# tests/zulip-monitor-abiba.sh — regression test pinning the producer→consumer
# contract between the pi Zulip extension's :9200/health payload and the Abiba
# leg of scripts/zulip-monitor.sh.
#
# WHY THIS TEST EXISTS: 2026-09-09 live incident. The monitor parsed the health
# payload at the WRONG nesting level (d.get('connected') at top level, while the
# extension serves zulip.connected) so PI_CONNECTED was always False and every
# monitor run restarted a healthy bot: pm2 showed restarts=8 with the process
# created 2026-09-09T09:35:09Z, the monitor log recorded four ❌ Abiba verdicts
# (04:23, 05:35, 06:55, 09:35 UTC) and zero ✅, while the Zulip server answered
# HTTP 200 and the bot logged a clean connect plus continuing heartbeats. The
# watchdog was the fault, not the connection. This test makes that class of
# regression fail loudly instead of silently restarting healthy services.
#
# CONTRACT UNDER TEST (must hold for scripts/zulip-monitor.sh):
# * Connection state is NESTED: zulip.connected (boolean) and zulip.last_error
# live inside the `zulip` object. There is NO top-level `connected` and NO
# retry counter anywhere in the payload (verified against the extension's
# startHealthServer handler) — the old retry_count branch was dropped.
# * zulip.connected=true -> log "✅ Connected", NO pm2 restart.
# * zulip.connected=false -> alert, pm2 restart abiba-zulip.
# * fetch error / non-2xx / empty body / unparseable body / missing or
# non-boolean zulip.connected -> "⚠️ Probe failed" alert with a
# "NOT restarting" label, NO pm2 restart. A parse miss must never kill a
# healthy service.
# * zulip.connected=true with last_error -> degraded 🟡 warning, no restart.
#
# HOW: the Abiba leg of the shipped script sits between the
# `# -- abiba-leg-start` / `# -- abiba-leg-end` marker comments. This runner
# extracts that block verbatim and executes it with a stubbed curl (fixture body
# + HTTP code), recorded notify()/pm2 shims, and a temp $LOG. If the markers
# disappear (fix reverted or renamed) extraction yields nothing and the suite
# fails — the bug cannot return silently.
#
# Usage: bash tests/zulip-monitor-abiba.sh [path/to/zulip-monitor.sh]
# Exit 0 iff every check passes.
#
# shellcheck disable=SC2034,SC2329,SC1090
# LOG/ISSUES and the notify/pm2/curl stubs below are consumed at runtime by
# the leg extracted between the marker comments and `source`d in each case;
# the static analyzer cannot see across that dynamic source, so it flags them.

## Streaming Support (2026-07-05)
Zulip agents now support progressive message editing during agent generation.
When a Zulip agent under this monitor's scope (Tanko on DSH) processes a message, the response is
When a Hermes agent (Tanko, Mumuni) processes a message, the response is
streamed in real-time via Zulip's `PATCH /api/v1/messages/{id}` API:
- Adapter implements `edit_message()` using `_api_patch()` helper
- Gateway stream consumer progressively edits the Zulip message
- User sees real-time agent thinking instead of waiting for full response
- Verified: Tanko (CT 112) has streaming active; Mumuni's (kagentz CT 105) is verified on her own host, not from here

### Step 3: Platform B — Tanko (DSH on amdpve CT 112)
Mumuni is out of scope for this host (see the note above): she runs on her own
container and is monitored on her side.
Tanko runs on DSH (DeepSeek Harness) — it no longer runs a Hermes gateway, so
there is no `~/.hermes/gateway_state.json` on CT 112. Tanko's Zulip gateway runs
as the `dsh-web` systemd unit inside **CT 112**, which resides on the **amdpve**
PVE host (**192.168.68.15**). Direct SSH to 192.168.68.122 is not a dependency
of this contract — per-worker key availability varies — so CT 112 probes run
from the amdpve vantage via `pct exec`:
**B1: Gateway State**
```bash
ssh root@192.168.68.15 "pct exec 112 -- <command>"
ssh root@192.168.68.122 "cat ~/.hermes/gateway_state.json"

Check `platforms.zulip.state`: `connected` ✅ | `disconnected` ❌ | `error` ❌ | missing → not installed.

Gateway PID should exist with uptime > 60s.
**B2: Gateway HTTP Liveness (Tanko — loopback-only :3080)**
**B3: Heartbeat Verification**
```bash
ssh root@192.168.68.15 "pct exec 112 -- curl -s --connect-timeout 5 --max-time 10 -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}' http://127.0.0.1:3080/"

```
Alive = **ANY** HTTP status response from the endpoint — the expected set is
`200`/`301`/`302`/`307`/`308`/`401`/`403` (the gateway UI is token-gated and
legitimately answers with redirects/auth-challenges, so never require a bare
`200`), and any other status, including `404`/`5xx`, also counts alive: a
process answering `503` is running and self-heal must NOT restart-loop it.
Down = connection refused (`000`) or timeout only. Statuses outside the
expected set are logged/reported as a warning — reported, never healed on.
Expected: recent heartbeat (within 5 min), `polls=N` incrementing.
Silence > 300s → warning. Silence > 600s → critical.

ssh root@<CT> "grep -E 'Finalized|Failed to finalize|Replied to' ~/.hermes/logs/agent.log | tail -10"
```
Fallback only — used when the monitoring node has no pct/SSH path to amdpve.
Alive = **ANY** HTTP status response from the endpoint — healthy signals are
`302` (authentik proxy-auth redirect) and `401` (auth-gated), and any other
status, including `404`/`5xx`, also counts alive: the endpoint is up and
answering and must NOT be restart-looped. Down = connection refused (`000`) or
timeout only. Never expect a bare `200` — the public URL terminates in the
token-gated authentik chain. Statuses outside the healthy set are
logged/reported as a warning — reported, never healed on.

# Zulip Gateway v3 — Production Resilience
## Architecture Overview
The current v2 gateway (`/root/.pi/agent/extensions/zulip/index.js`) has three structural
weaknesses that cause repeated deaths:
1. **No crash recovery** — uncaught errors kill the Node process, PM2 exhausts max_restarts
2. **No circuit breaker** — 502/fetch-failed errors escalate to process death with no fallback
3. **No queue lifecycle management** — doesn't use Zulip's documented heartbeat protocol or
idle_queue_timeout, so BAD_EVENT_QUEUE_ID errors cascade into crashes
The v3 rewrite addresses all three, following patterns from:
- [Zulip Events System docs](https://zulip.readthedocs.io/en/11.6/subsystems/events-system.html) —
queue registration, heartbeat, BAD_EVENT_QUEUE_ID recovery, call_on_each_event loop
- [Zulip API: Get Events](https://zulip.com/api/get-events) — long-poll timeout, dont_block, event ack
- [Circuit Breaker & Retry Patterns in Node.js 2026](https://1xapi.com/blog/resilient-api-circuit-breaker-bulkhead-retry-nodejs-2026) —
Opossum-based circuit breaker with fallback, retry with jitter, bulkhead isolation
---
## Maintains
- `zulip-gateway`: { status: "healthy" | "degraded" | "down" }
- `circuit-breaker`: { state: "CLOSED" | "OPEN" | "HALF_OPEN", failures, successes }
- `queue-lifecycle`: { queue_id, last_event_id, idle_timeout, heartbeat_age }
- `workers`: { count, busy, idle, stuck }
- `supervisor`: { pid, last_check, health_failures }
---
## Detection Rules
### Rule 1: Queue Expired (BAD_EVENT_QUEUE_ID)
- **Detect**: Events API returns error with BAD_EVENT_QUEUE_ID in body
- **Fix**: Call `POST /register` to create new queue, update queue_id and last_event_id
- **Debounce**: If 3 re-registrations fail within 60s, escalate (server may be down)
- **Ref**: Zulip docs: "Your software will need to handle that error condition by re-initializing itself"
### Rule 2: Network Degradation (502/ECONNREFUSED/fetch failed)
- **Detect**: Events API returns 502 or network error
- **Circuit breaker**: Track failure rate over 10s rolling window
- CLOSED → OPEN: 50% failure rate with ≥5 requests
- OPEN → HALF_OPEN: After 30s reset timeout
- HALF_OPEN → CLOSED: Probe succeeds
- HALF_OPEN → OPEN: Probe fails
- **While OPEN**: Log errors, skip events, notify user via DM: "⚠️ Zulip connection degraded — will retry in 30s"
### Rule 3: Long-Poll Timeout (natural)
- **Detect**: Events API response takes > `event_queue_longpoll_timeout_seconds`
- **Not an error**: Server sends heartbeat events when no real events. Simply re-poll.
### Rule 4: Worker Busy Timeout (>5 min)
- **Detect**: Worker `busySince` exceeds 5 minutes
- **Fix**: SIGKILL worker, send error DM, clean up pending replies
### Rule 5: Process Crash (uncaught)
- **Detect**: `uncaughtException` / `unhandledRejection` fires
- **Fix**: Log → clear poll timer → attempt reconnect with backoff → if reconnect fails 3x, exit(1) and let PM2 restart
### Rule 6: Supervisor Detects Router Stall
- **Detect**: External supervisor (`zulip-watchdog`) polls `/health` every 30s. If 3 consecutive failures:
- **Fix**: `pm2 restart abiba-zulip` gracefully (SIGTERM, drain workers, restart)

## Implementation Plan
### Phase 1: Rewrite Router Core (circuit-breaker + queue lifecycle)
Replace the poll loop in index.js with a resilience-first event loop:
```js
// Queue lifecycle (Zulip docs pattern)
async function createOrRefreshQueue() {
// POST /register with event_types=["message"]
// Store: queueId, lastEventId, eventQueueLongpollTimeoutSeconds
// NEW: pass idle_queue_timeout parameter (Zulip 12.0+)
}
// Circuit breaker (Opossum pattern, implemented inline to avoid dependency)

this.openedAt = Date.now();
console.error(`[zulip-ext] CIRCUIT BREAKER OPEN — ${this.failures}/${this.totalRequests} failures`);
}
}
}
}
// Retry with exponential backoff + jitter (from resilience patterns)
async function withRetry(fn, { maxAttempts=3, baseDelay=200, maxDelay=10000, shouldRetry=()=>true }={}) {
let lastError;

const jitter = delay * (0.5 + Math.random() * 0.5); // 50-100% of delay
console.warn(`[zulip-ext] Retry ${attempt}/${maxAttempts} after ${Math.round(jitter)}ms: ${err.message.slice(0,80)}`);
await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, jitter));
}
}
throw lastError;
}
// Resilience-first event loop (Zulip call_on_each_event pattern)
async function resilientPollLoop() {
while (connected) {
try {
const events = await circuitBreaker.fire(() =>
withRetry(() => zulipQueue.poll(), {

const msg = err instanceof Error ? err.message : String(err);
if (msg.includes("BAD_EVENT_QUEUE_ID") || msg.includes("deregistered")) {
// Queue expired — re-register (Zulip docs pattern)
console.log(`[zulip-ext] Queue expired, re-registering… (${msg.slice(0,80)})`);

await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, backoff));
await startPolling();
return;

} else if (err.name === "CircuitOpenError") {
// Circuit is open — skip this cycle, wait for HALF_OPEN

console.error(`[zulip-ext] Poll error (retry ${retryCount}, backoff ${backoff}ms): ${msg}`);
await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, backoff));
}
}
}
}
```
### Phase 2: PM2 Hardening
Create `/root/.pm2/ecosystem.config.cjs`:
```js
module.exports = {
apps: [
{
name: "abiba-zulip",
script: "/bin/pi",
args: "--mode rpc --session-id zulip-service",
env: {
ZULIP_ROLE: "router",
ZULIP_SITE: "https://chat.sysloggh.net",
ZULIP_EMAIL: "abiba-bot@chat.sysloggh.net",
ZULIP_API_KEY: process.env.ZULIP_API_KEY,
AGENT_NAME: "abiba",
AGENT_OWNER_EMAIL: "jerome@sysloggh.com",
},
max_restarts: 100, // Up from default 10 — crash loops won't exhaust
min_uptime: "10s", // Must survive 10s to count as "alive"
max_memory_restart: "500M", // OOM protection
restart_delay: 5000, // 5s between restarts
kill_timeout: 15000, // 15s SIGTERM grace before SIGKILL
listen_timeout: 30000, // 30s to bind health port
log_date_format: "YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss Z",
error_file: "/root/.pm2/logs/abiba-zulip-error.log",
out_file: "/root/.pm2/logs/abiba-zulip-out.log",
merge_logs: true,
autorestart: true,
watch: false,
instances: 1,
exec_mode: "fork",
},
{
name: "zulip-watchdog",
script: "/root/.pi/agent/extensions/zulip/watchdog.js",
max_restarts: 10,
min_uptime: "3s",
restart_delay: 3000,
autorestart: true,
},
],
};
```
### Phase 3: Supervisor Watchdog
Create `/root/.pi/agent/extensions/zulip/watchdog.js`:
```js
// External supervisor — monitors router health and restarts if stalled.
// This is the pattern Hermes uses: an external process that can recover
// the gateway even if the gateway process itself is hung (not just crashed).
const HEALTH_URL = "http://127.0.0.1:9200/health";
const CHECK_INTERVAL_MS = 30_000;
const MAX_FAILURES = 3;
let failures = 0;
async function check() {
try {
const res = await fetch(HEALTH_URL, { signal: AbortSignal.timeout(5000) });
if (res.ok) {
const data = await res.json();
if (data.status === "ok" && data.zulip?.connected) {
if (failures > 0) {
console.log(`[watchdog] Router recovered after ${failures} failures`);
}
failures = 0;
return;
}
}
failures++;
console.warn(`[watchdog] Health check ${failures}/${MAX_FAILURES}: status not ok`);
} catch (err) {
failures++;
console.warn(`[watchdog] Health check ${failures}/${MAX_FAILURES}: ${err.message}`);
}
if (failures >= MAX_FAILURES) {
console.error(`[watchdog] ${MAX_FAILURES} consecutive failures — restarting abiba-zulip`);
const { execSync } = require("child_process");
try {
execSync("pm2 restart abiba-zulip", { timeout: 30000 });
console.log("[watchdog] Restart command sent");
} catch (e) {
console.error(`[watchdog] Restart failed: ${e.message}`);
}
failures = 0;
// Wait for restart to complete before checking again
await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 15000));
}
}
console.log("[watchdog] Zulip gateway supervisor started");
setInterval(check, CHECK_INTERVAL_MS);
check(); // Immediate first check
```
### Phase 4: Health Endpoint Enhancement
Add circuit breaker stats to the existing health endpoint:
```js
// In /health response, add:
"circuit_breaker": {
"state": circuitBreaker.state,
"failures": circuitBreaker.failures,
"successes": circuitBreaker.successes,
"total_requests": circuitBreaker.totalRequests,
"failure_rate": circuitBreaker.totalRequests > 0
? (circuitBreaker.failures / circuitBreaker.totalRequests).toFixed(2)
: "0.00"
}
```

## Test Plan
### Test 1: Queue Re-registration
1. Manually delete the Zulip event queue via API
2. Next poll should detect BAD_EVENT_QUEUE_ID
3. Router should auto re-register within 1 poll cycle
4. Verify: `/health` shows new queue_id, connected=true
### Test 2: Circuit Breaker Trip
1. Block Zulip server with iptables: `iptables -A OUTPUT -d 192.168.68.19 -j DROP`
2. Router should detect failures, trip circuit after 5 failures
3. `/health` should show circuit_breaker.state = "OPEN"
4. Remove iptables rule
5. Circuit should transition to HALF_OPEN → CLOSED within 60s
6. Verify: messages processed after recovery
### Test 3: Supervisor Recovery
1. Kill the router process: `kill -STOP $(pm2 pid abiba-zulip)` (freeze, don't kill)
2. Watchdog should detect 3 failed health checks in 90s
3. Watchdog should execute `pm2 restart abiba-zulip`
4. Verify: router back online, connected=true
### Test 4: Worker Busy Timeout
1. Send a message that triggers a long-running operation
2. If worker stays busy >5 minutes, should receive SIGKILL
3. User should receive error DM: "Response timed out"
### Test 5: End-to-End Message
1. Send DM "What time is it?" from Jerome
2. Should receive response within 30s
3. `/health` should show messages_processed incremented
---
## Rollback Plan
If v3 causes issues:
1. `pm2 delete abiba-zulip; pm2 delete zulip-watchdog`
2. Restore v2 from git: `cd /root/.pi/agent/extensions/zulip && git checkout index.js`
3. `pm2 resurrect` to reload previous process list
4. Verify: `/health` returns ok
Backup v2 before starting: `cp index.js index.js.v2-backup-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)`
---
## Success Metrics
| Metric | Current (v2) | Target (v3) |
|--------|-------------|-------------|
| Uptime between manual interventions | 1-3 days | 30+ days |
| Crash recovery | Manual (PM2 resurrect) | Automatic (circuit breaker + supervisor) |
| Queue expiry handling | Crash | Auto re-register |
| Busy worker deadlock | Router death | Worker SIGKILL + error DM |
| PM2 restart exhaustion | Yes (max_restarts=10) | No (max_restarts=100 + watchdog) |

## 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 (kagentz CT 105, migrated 2026-08-29) | ✅ 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.
### Abiba pi Zulip Extension v2 — Implemented Resilience Summary
| Feature | Status | Notes |
|---------|--------|-------|
| Circuit breaker | ✅ | CLOSED→OPEN→HALF_OPEN; 50% failure threshold; 30s reset timeout |
| Retry with jitter | ✅ | 2 attempts, 200ms base, 50-100% jitter |
| Queue lifecycle | ✅ | 10min idle_queue_timeout; BAD_EVENT_QUEUE_ID handling |
| Crash prevention | ✅ | uncaughtException + unhandledRejection recovery |
| Worker timeout | ✅ | 5min busy timeout → SIGKILL + error DM |
| Health endpoint | ✅ | :9200 with circuit breaker metrics |
| Echo prevention | ✅ | Dynamic bot user resolution |
| Poll timeout (AbortError) | ✅ v2.1 | Normal timeout returns [] instead of error |
| Credential fallback | ✅ v2.1 | .env file before Infisical exec |
| Provider auto-fix | ✅ | Detects reasoning_content models, switches to compatible |
