012bc02af1 fix(dev): bind hermes to the active worktree after activation
Activation defined PATH and PYTHONPATH, but `hermes` still resolved to a
global command or an MSIX alias. The shell now defines `hermes` as a
function for this worktree. It runs this checkout's CLI only while the
shell is inside the tree, and it refuses outside it. The prompt gains a
branch prefix and drops it outside the tree. `deactivate` removes the
function and the prefix.

547b5de29d docs(pm): route dependency setup through public operations
Direct package installs bypass PM's dependency selection and do not survive
new generations. Document explicit runtime extras, recorded repair, fresh
build outputs, and lock generation through PM instead.

Keep the prepared-interpreter prerequisite and explicit removal requirement
for disposable test environments. Preserve Nix and external-project package
manager ownership. Correct platform and Python-marker claims where the
manifest contradicts the installation hints.

Checked the public CLI help, literal PM calls against public signatures and
extra declarations, fenced blocks, and whitespace. No dependency build or
site build ran. The docs toolchain is not installed in this checkout.

1c8fae6180 fix(pm): preserve runtime and user state across failure paths
Keep downloads bound to their remote representation and publish through
atomic destination-local staging. Serialize shared partial ownership.

Keep explicit CA trust scoped to provider probes. Preserve checkpoint
history and edited files, validate all profile inputs before dependency
publication, and separate data removal from installed runtime ownership.

Exclude machine-specific PM state from portable transfers. Keep plugin
files and nested skill tools intact. Preserve native test isolation.

Focused native Windows receipts cover the individual repairs and their
integration. This commit does not claim a full-suite or release build.

712734436e fix(pm): make bootstrap and bundle ownership explicit
Finish bootstrap uv before PM replaces its store entry. Keep failure
receipts stdlib-only and align the cryptography requirement and override
with the locked version.

Let bundle builders declare launch paths and update ownership. Remove
payload discovery, Store probing, and the unused develop command.
Derive Nix Python from the PM lock and share its provenance stamp.

Document setup, activation, optional dependencies, and distribution
ownership. Targeted Windows tests, relocated runtime launches, Electron
bundling, and bilingual docs builds pass. Native Nix and signed-package
acceptance remain CI gates.

cd0f97f833 feat(python): pin bundled runtime to 3.14 everywhere (pm, termux lane, CI, installers)
pm python node: 3.14.7+20260901 (freshest python-build-standalone 3.14
build) for the 6 desktop targets; the bionic row moves from the third-party
TUR python3.11 deb to the official termux-main python_3.14.6-1 deb (which
lags PBS by one patch — pinned manually, documented). All 7 digests fetched
from the live sources (PBS release API + termux-main Packages index).
pm/packages.py: main_bin_rel python3.14, deb_package python, bionic fetch
constant, latest_versions guards bionic (no PBS build exists).

termux lane: PYTHON_ABI cp311->cp314, python3.11->python3.14 paths,
libpython3.11.so->3.14, TARGET_ENV 3.11.15->3.14.6 AND sys_platform
linux->android (CPython 3.13+ reports 'android', docs-verified) — linux-
gated markers no longer admit the termux target. runtime_libs.json needs no
change: every python 3.14.6-1 Depends is already staged.

CI: python-version/--python 3.11->3.14 across all 11 workflows incl. the
uv lockfile-check lane. Installers derive the minor from the lock already;
fallbacks bumped. Sandbox images nikolaik/python-nodejs:python3.11-nodejs20
-> python3.14-nodejs22 (tag exists). runtime_repair fall-forward cap now
tracks the <3.15 requires-python window. Docs/README python version claims
updated.

e69b8e561d feat: consolidate 'hermes version' into 'hermes --version', remove the subcommand
'hermes --version' (and -V) now prints the full version report — banner
version line with upstream SHA, install directory, authoritative install
method, Python and OpenAI SDK versions, and update status — making the
separate 'hermes version' subcommand redundant. The subcommand is removed.

- _startup_fast.print_fast_version_info() is now THE canonical version
  printer: static lines print instantly from stdlib probes, then the
  banner label, install-method resolver, and update check lazy-import
  after the first line is on screen (each degrades gracefully).
- main.py _print_version_info() delegates to it (used by /version in the
  CLI chat surface and the --version flag path); the old duplicate
  implementation is deleted.
- hermes_cli/subcommands/version.py removed; parser wiring, subcommand
  sets, console-engine extraction entry, and tests updated. Hermes
  Console keeps a 'version' command wired to the shared printer.
- Termux fast paths now include update status too (previously
  check_updates=False).
- Docs/i18n, CONTRIBUTING, SECURITY, and nix checks updated to
  'hermes --version'.

5396da844a docs: DX sweep — 7 verified-absent documentation items
- developer-guide/codebase-ownership.md (new): subsystem -> source dirs ->
  docs entry point map; complements the narrow CODEOWNERS proposal in #23751
  (docs table only, no .github/CODEOWNERS).
- contributing.md: document the .agents/checks/*.md repo-local review
  checklist convention (idea from goose, Apache-2.0).
- integrations/index.md: "Quick connect links" table with prefilled
  create-your-app deep links (Telegram BotFather, Discord
  ?new_application=true, Slack ?new_app=1, LINE, Feishu). Poke-inspired.
- guides/agent-email-address.md (new): dedicated agent mailbox via the
  bundled himalaya skill — setup, cron polling pattern, prompt-injection
  safety notes. Poke-inspired.
- user-guide/features/browser.md: Chrome 136+ silently refuses
  --remote-debugging-port on the default user-data-dir; dedicated profile is
  now mandatory (diagnosis from oh-my-pi, MIT).
- developer-guide/adding-providers.md: "Tool-call wire format" section
  linking the OpenAI chat-completions reference as the canonical shape for
  convert_messages/convert_tools.
- user-guide/features/tools.md: shell-init pitfall — heavy/interactive rc
  files (nvm, TTY-expecting blocks) break non-interactive agent terminal
  calls; interactive-guard pattern documented (from cline, Apache-2.0).

Both new pages registered in sidebars.ts. Validated with npx docusaurus
build (en + zh-Hans green; zh-Hans relative-link warnings are the known
pre-existing untranslated-page noise).

713a983e4a feat(runtime)!: require Node 26 across all installers, heal, and upgrade paths
Hermes now pins its toolchain to Node 26 everywhere. Every path that
installs, accepts, heals, or upgrades a Node runtime moves from the old
22-default / `^20.19 || >=22.12` floor to a single rule: Node >=26.

Installers:
- scripts/install.sh — NODE_VERSION=26; node_satisfies_build() collapses
  the two-branch Vite floor to `major >= 26`; user-facing messages updated.
- scripts/install.ps1 — $NodeVersion=26; Test-NodeVersionOk likewise;
  winget fallback switches OpenJS.NodeJS.LTS -> OpenJS.NodeJS (26 is
  Current, not LTS — the LTS manifest would reinstall a too-old Node).
- Dockerfile — node_source stage node:22-bookworm-slim -> node:26 (digest
  pinned, amd64 sha256:9e6f...bf73).
- nix/ was already on nodejs_26 (lib.nix, npm-12-0-2.nix); the checks.nix
  wrapper check ratchets from `>= 20` to `>= 26`.

Heal/upgrade paths:
- scripts/lib/node-bootstrap.sh — HERMES_NODE_TARGET_MAJOR default 22->26
  and HERMES_NODE_MIN_VERSION default 20->26, so heal_managed_node,
  _nb_install_bundled_node, and the fnm/proto/nvm/brew rungs all target 26
  and stop accepting an on-PATH Node below it. Both remain env-overridable.
- hermes_constants.py — _HERMES_NODE_TARGET_MAJOR fallback 22->26, which
  drives the Windows heal path's latest-v26.x download.

Version gates:
- package.json engines.node >=20 -> >=26; apps/desktop engines
  `^20.19.0 || >=22.12.0` -> `>=26.0.0`.
- CI setup-node: all five workflows 22 -> 26.
- Docs describing Hermes's own toolchain updated (windows-native, docker,
  acp, nix-setup, contributing). Skill docs describing third-party tools'
  own requirements are untouched.

Termux still installs via `pkg install nodejs` best-effort (nodejs.org
ships no Android tarballs); that path was never version-gated.

Verified: bash -n on both shell scripts, PowerShell AST parse of
install.ps1, latest-v26.x index resolves (node-v26.5.1), and the install
test suite — 18 tests across the 5 install/runtime test files — passes.

5e849942c3 feat(dev): add isolated sandbox script for local dev
scripts/desktop-sandbox.sh runs a Hermes desktop instance in an isolated
sandbox — separate HERMES_HOME, separate Electron userData, and a
distinct
app name (HERMES_DESKTOP_APP_NAME) so it doesn't compete with the main
desktop instance's single-instance lock.

Two modes:
- Ephemeral (default): temp dir, cleaned up on exit
- --persistent: stored under .hermes-sandbox/ in the worktree git root,
  survives restarts for repeat testing

In the Nix devShell the script is available as 'sandbox'.

Also makes APP_NAME overridable via HERMES_DESKTOP_APP_NAME in main.ts —
app.setName() runs before requestSingleInstanceLock(), so the overridden
name changes the lock key. collectRelaunchEnv already preserves
HERMES_DESKTOP_* vars through self-update relaunches; test updated to
cover the new env var.

b24ff550c3 docs: Plugins subcategory under Extending + secret-source plugin guide + 1Password sidebar fix (#59613)
* docs(secrets): secret-source plugin developer guide + sidebar registration for 1Password page

- New developer-guide/secret-source-plugin.md: SecretSource contract
  (never raises/prompts, fetch-only, timeout budget), framework-vs-plugin
  ownership table, mapped-vs-bulk shape guidance, run_secret_cli()
  subprocess-safety, registration + timing note, conformance kit usage,
  ErrorKind reference.
- Register user-guide/secrets/onepassword in the sidebar (page shipped
  in #59498 but was not listed, so it was unreachable from nav).
- Cross-link the user-guide plugin section to the new dev guide.

* docs: group all plugin guides under a Plugins subcategory in Extending

- Move guides/build-a-hermes-plugin.md -> developer-guide/plugins/index.md
  (both locales) and make it the category landing page (slug pinned to
  /developer-guide/plugins).
- New sidebar subcategory Developer Guide > Extending > Plugins holding
  the general guide + all 8 provider-plugin docs (llm-access, memory,
  context-engine, secret-source, model, image-gen, video-gen, web-search);
  provider-doc URLs unchanged.
- Client redirect /guides/build-a-hermes-plugin -> /developer-guide/plugins.

c6c1fd8b6b docs: create dev venv outside the source tree (root-cause fix for #7779) (#54862)
A manually-installed venv inside the cloned repo can be destroyed by the
agent running a relative-path command against its own checkout (rm -rf venv,
uv venv venv, etc.), silently wiping the running runtime mid-session. Moving
the canonical manual-install venv to ~/.hermes/venvs/hermes-dev means no
relative path from the agent's workspace resolves to its own runtime, making
the bug class impossible without any command-detection code.

Closes the root cause of #7779. The managed install.sh layout is unchanged.

Follow-up to #38089. The merged PR removed --recurse-submodules from the

fef1a41248 docs: round 2 audit — messaging, developer-guide, guides, integrations (#22858)
Cross-checked 75 docs pages under user-guide/messaging/, developer-guide/,
guides/, and integrations/ against the live registries and gateway code.

messaging/
- index.md: API Server toolset is hermes-api-server (was 'hermes (default)');
  Google Chat slug is hermes-google_chat (underscore — plugin name uses _).
- google_chat.md: drop bogus 'pip install hermes-agent[google_chat]' (no such
  extra); list the actual deps (google-cloud-pubsub, google-api-python-client,
  google-auth, google-auth-oauthlib).
- qqbot.md: config namespace is platforms.qqbot (was platforms.qq, which is
  silently ignored by the adapter); QQ_STT_BASE_URL is not read directly —
  baseUrl lives under platforms.qqbot.extra.stt.
- teams-meetings.md: 'hermes teams-pipeline' is plugin-gated (teams_pipeline
  plugin must be enabled), not a built-in subcommand.
- sms.md: example log line 0.0.0.0:8080 -> 127.0.0.1:8080 (default
  SMS_WEBHOOK_HOST).
- open-webui.md: API_SERVER_* are env vars, not YAML keys — write them to
  per-profile .env, not 'hermes config set' (same pattern fixed in
  api-server.md last round). Also bumped example ports to 8650+ to dodge the
  default webhook (8644)/wecom-callback (8645)/msgraph-webhook (8646)
  collision.

developer-guide/
- architecture.md: tool/toolset counts (61/52 -> 70+/~28); LOC stamps for
  run_agent.py, cli.py, hermes_cli/main.py, setup.py, mcp_tool.py,
  gateway/run.py replaced with 'large file' to stop drifting.
- agent-loop.md: same LOC drift (~13,700 -> 'a large file (15k+ lines)').
- gateway-internals.md: '14+ external messaging platforms' -> '20+'; gateway
  platform tree updated (qqbot is a sub-package, not qqbot.py; added
  yuanbao.py, feishu_comment.py, msgraph_webhook.py); 'gateway/builtin_hooks/
  (always active)' was wrong — it's an empty extension point and
  _register_builtin_hooks() is a no-op stub.
- acp-internals.md: drop fictional 'message_callback' from the bridged-
  callbacks list; clarify thinking_callback is currently set to None.
- provider-runtime.md: provider list was missing AWS Bedrock, Azure Foundry,
  NVIDIA NIM, xAI, Arcee, GMI Cloud, StepFun, Qwen OAuth, Xiaomi, Ollama
  Cloud, LM Studio, Tencent TokenHub. Fallback section described only the
  legacy single-pair model — corrected to the canonical list-form
  fallback_providers chain.
- environments.md: parsers list missing llama4_json and the deepseek_v31
  alias; both register via @register_parser.
- browser-supervisor.md: drop reference to scripts/browser_supervisor_e2e.py
  which doesn't exist in-repo.
- contributing.md: tinker-atropos is a git submodule — note that
  'git submodule update --init' is required if cloning without
  --recurse-submodules.

guides/
- operate-teams-meeting-pipeline.md: cron flags were all wrong — schedule is
  positional (not --schedule), the script-only flag is --no-agent (not
  --script-only), and there's no --command flag. Replaced with a real example
  that creates the script under ~/.hermes/scripts/ and uses the actual flags.
  Also replaced fictional 'hermes cron show <name>' with 'hermes cron status'.
- automation-templates.md: 'cron create --skills "a,b"' doesn't work —
  the flag is --skill (singular, repeatable). Fixed all 5 occurrences via AST
  rewrite.
- minimax-oauth.md: 'hermes auth add minimax-oauth --region cn' silently
  fails because --region isn't registered on the auth-add argparse spec.
  Pointed users at the minimax-cn provider (or MINIMAX_CN_API_KEY env) for
  China-region access.
- cron-script-only.md: 'hermes send' is fictional — replaced the comparison-
  table mention with a webhook-subscription pointer; also fixed the dead link
  to /guides/pipe-script-output (page doesn't exist).
- cron-troubleshooting.md: 'hermes serve' isn't a real subcommand. Pointed
  at 'hermes gateway' (foreground) / 'hermes gateway start' (service).
- local-ollama-setup.md: 'agent.api_timeout' is not a config key. The right
  knob is the HERMES_API_TIMEOUT env var.
- python-library.md: run_conversation() return dict has only final_response
  and messages — task_id is stored on the agent instance, not echoed back.
- use-mcp-with-hermes.md: '--args /c "npx -y …"' wraps the npx command in
  one quoted string, so cmd.exe gets a single arg instead of the multi-token
  command line it needs. Removed the surrounding quotes — argparse nargs='*'
  collects each token correctly.

integrations/
- providers.md: Bedrock guardrail YAML keys were 'id'/'version' (don't exist);
  actual keys are guardrail_identifier/guardrail_version (matches DEFAULT_CONFIG
  and the run_agent.py reader). GMI default base URL (api.gmi.ai/v1 ->
  api.gmi-serving.com/v1) and portal URL (inference.gmi.ai -> www.gmicloud.ai)
  refreshed. Fallback section rewritten to lead with the canonical
  fallback_providers list form (was leading with the legacy fallback_model
  single dict); supported-providers list extended to include azure-foundry,
  alibaba-coding-plan, lmstudio.

index.md
- '68 built-in tools' -> '70+'; '15+ platforms' was both inconsistent with
  integrations/index.md ('19+') and undercounted — bumped to 20+ and added
  Weixin/QQ Bot/Yuanbao/Google Chat to the list.

Validation: 'npm run build' clean (exit 0); broken-link count unchanged at
155 (same as round-1 post-skill-regen baseline). 24 files, +132/-89.

7a4d5c123a docs(windows): label native Windows support as early beta (#22115)
Adds early-beta framing to every user-facing surface where native Windows
is introduced — landing page install block, Installation page, Windows
(Native) guide, contributor notes, and README. Sets expectations that the
path installs and runs but hasn't been road-tested as broadly as POSIX,
and points users who want maximum stability at WSL2 instead.

Follow-up to #21561 (native Windows support) and #22089 (Windows docs).

9de893e3b0 feat(windows): close native-Windows install gaps — crash-free startup, UTF-8 stdio, tzdata dep, docs
Native Windows (with Git for Windows installed) can now run the Hermes CLI
and gateway end-to-end without crashing.  install.ps1 already existed and
the Git Bash terminal backend was already wired up — this PR fills the
remaining gaps discovered by auditing every Windows-unsafe primitive
(`signal.SIGKILL`, `os.kill(pid, 0)` probes, bare `fcntl`/`termios`
imports) and by comparing hermes against how Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex,
and Cline handle native Windows.

## What changed

### UTF-8 stdio (new module)
- `hermes_cli/stdio.py` — single `configure_windows_stdio()` entry point.
  Flips the console code page to CP_UTF8 (65001), reconfigures
  `sys.stdout`/`stderr`/`stdin` to UTF-8, sets `PYTHONIOENCODING` + `PYTHONUTF8`
  for subprocesses.  No-op on non-Windows.  Opt out via `HERMES_DISABLE_WINDOWS_UTF8=1`.
- Called early in `cli.py::main`, `hermes_cli/main.py::main`, and
  `gateway/run.py::main` so Unicode banners (box-drawing, geometric
  symbols, non-Latin chat text) don't `UnicodeEncodeError` on cp1252
  consoles.

### Crash sites fixed
- `hermes_cli/main.py:7970` (hermes update → stuck gateway sweep): raw
  `os.kill(pid, _signal.SIGKILL)` → `gateway.status.terminate_pid(pid, force=True)`
  which routes through `taskkill /T /F` on Windows.
- `hermes_cli/profiles.py::_stop_gateway_process`: same fix — also
  converted SIGTERM path to `terminate_pid()` and widened OSError catch
  on the intermediate `os.kill(pid, 0)` probe.
- `hermes_cli/kanban_db.py:2914, 3041`: raw `signal.SIGKILL` →
  `getattr(signal, "SIGKILL", signal.SIGTERM)` fallback (matches the
  pattern already used in `gateway/status.py`).

### OSError widening on `os.kill(pid, 0)` probes
Windows raises `OSError` (WinError 87) for a gone PID instead of
`ProcessLookupError`.  Widened the catch at:
- `gateway/run.py:15101` (`--replace` wait-for-exit loop — without this,
  the loop busy-spins the full 10s every Windows gateway start)
- `hermes_cli/gateway.py:228, 460, 940`
- `hermes_cli/profiles.py:777`
- `tools/process_registry.py::_is_host_pid_alive`
- `tools/browser_tool.py:1170, 1206`

### Dashboard PTY graceful degradation
`hermes_cli/pty_bridge.py` depends on `fcntl`/`termios`/`ptyprocess`,
none of which exist on native Windows.  Previously a Windows dashboard
would crash on `import hermes_cli.web_server` because of a top-level
import.  Now:
- `hermes_cli/web_server.py` wraps the pty_bridge import in
  `try/except ImportError` and sets `_PTY_BRIDGE_AVAILABLE=False`.
- The `/api/pty` WebSocket handler returns a friendly "use WSL2 for
  this tab" message instead of exploding.
- Every other dashboard feature (sessions, jobs, metrics, config
  editor) runs natively on Windows.

### Dependency
- `pyproject.toml`: add `tzdata>=2023.3; sys_platform == 'win32'` so
  Python's `zoneinfo` works on Windows (which has no IANA tzdata
  shipped with the OS).  Credits @sprmn24 (PR #13182).

### Docs
- README.md: removed "Native Windows is not supported"; added
  PowerShell one-liner and Git-for-Windows prerequisite note.
- `website/docs/getting-started/installation.md`: new Windows section
  with capability matrix (everything native except the dashboard
  `/chat` PTY tab, which is WSL2-only).
- `website/docs/user-guide/windows-wsl-quickstart.md`: reframed as
  "WSL2 as an alternative to native" rather than "the only way".
- `website/docs/developer-guide/contributing.md`: updated
  cross-platform guidance with the `signal.SIGKILL` / `OSError`
  rules we enforce now.
- `website/docs/user-guide/features/web-dashboard.md`: acknowledged
  native Windows works for everything except the embedded PTY pane.

## Why this shape

Pulled from a survey of how other agent codebases handle native
Windows (Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex, Cline):

- All four treat Git Bash as the canonical shell on Windows, same as
  hermes already does in `tools/environments/local.py::_find_bash()`.
- None of them force `SetConsoleOutputCP` — but they don't have to,
  Node/Rust write UTF-16 to the Win32 console API.  Python does not get
  that for free, so we flip CP_UTF8 via ctypes.
- None of them ship PowerShell-as-primary-shell (Claude Code exposes
  PS as a secondary tool; scope creep for this PR).
- All of them use `taskkill /T /F` for force-kill on Windows, which
  is exactly what `gateway.status.terminate_pid(force=True)` does.

## Non-goals (deliberate scope limits)

- No PowerShell-as-a-second-shell tool — worth designing separately.
- No terminal routing rewrite (#12317, #15461, #19800 cluster) — that's
  the hardest design call and needs a separate doc.
- No wholesale `open()` → `open(..., encoding="utf-8")` sweep (Tianworld
  cluster) — will do as follow-up if users hit actual breakage; most
  modern code already specifies it.

## Validation

- 28 new tests in `tests/tools/test_windows_native_support.py` — all
  platform-mocked, pass on Linux CI.  Cover:
  - `configure_windows_stdio` idempotency, opt-out, env-preservation
  - `terminate_pid` taskkill routing, failure → OSError, FileNotFoundError fallback
  - `getattr(signal, "SIGKILL", …)` fallback shape
  - `_is_host_pid_alive` OSError widening (Windows-gone-PID behavior)
  - Source-level checks that all entry points call `configure_windows_stdio`
  - pty_bridge import-guard present in `web_server.py`
  - README no longer says "not supported"
- 12 pre-existing tests in `tests/tools/test_windows_compat.py` still pass.
- `tests/hermes_cli/` ran fully (3909 passed, 9 failures — all confirmed
  pre-existing on main by stash-test).
- `tests/gateway/` ran fully (5021 passed, 1 pre-existing failure).
- `tests/tools/test_process_registry.py` + `test_browser_*` pass.
- Manual smoke: `import hermes_cli.stdio; import gateway.run;
  import hermes_cli.web_server` — all clean, `_PTY_BRIDGE_AVAILABLE=True`
  on Linux (as expected).

## Files

- New: `hermes_cli/stdio.py`, `tests/tools/test_windows_native_support.py`

eeb05cf556 docs: default custom tool creation to plugins
Steers custom tool creation toward the plugin route by default.
The adding-tools.md guide is now explicitly for built-in core Hermes
tools only.

Key fixes:
- Plugin quickstart: ctx.register_tool() now uses correct keyword-arg
  API (name=, toolset=, schema=, handler=) instead of broken 3-arg call
- Handler signature: (params, **kwargs) instead of (params)
- Handler return: json.dumps({...}) instead of plain string
- AGENTS.md: mentions plugin route before built-in tool instructions
- learning-path.md: plugins listed before core tool development
- contributing.md: separates plugin vs core tool paths

Based on PR #13138 by @helix4u.

f6db1b27ba feat: add profiles — run multiple isolated Hermes instances (#3681)
Each profile is a fully independent HERMES_HOME with its own config,
API keys, memory, sessions, skills, gateway, cron, and state.db.

Core module: hermes_cli/profiles.py (~900 lines)
  - Profile CRUD: create, delete, list, show, rename
  - Three clone levels: blank, --clone (config), --clone-all (everything)
  - Export/import: tar.gz archive for backup and migration
  - Wrapper alias scripts (~/.local/bin/<name>)
  - Collision detection for alias names
  - Sticky default via ~/.hermes/active_profile
  - Skill seeding via subprocess (handles module-level caching)
  - Auto-stop gateway on delete with disable-before-stop for services
  - Tab completion generation for bash and zsh

CLI integration (hermes_cli/main.py):
  - _apply_profile_override(): pre-import -p/--profile flag + sticky default
  - Full 'hermes profile' subcommand: list, use, create, delete, show,
    alias, rename, export, import
  - 'hermes completion bash/zsh' command
  - Multi-profile skill sync in hermes update

Display (cli.py, banner.py, gateway/run.py):
  - CLI prompt: 'coder ❯' when using a non-default profile
  - Banner shows profile name
  - Gateway startup log includes profile name

Gateway safety:
  - Token locks: Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal (extends Telegram pattern)
  - Port conflict detection: API server, webhook adapter

Diagnostics (hermes_cli/doctor.py):
  - Profile health section: lists profiles, checks config, .env, aliases
  - Orphan alias detection: warns when wrapper points to deleted profile

Tests (tests/hermes_cli/test_profiles.py):
  - 71 automated tests covering: validation, CRUD, clone levels, rename,
    export/import, active profile, isolation, alias collision, completion
  - Full suite: 6760 passed, 0 new failures

Documentation:
  - website/docs/user-guide/profiles.md: full user guide (12 sections)
  - website/docs/reference/profile-commands.md: command reference (12 commands)
  - website/docs/reference/faq.md: 6 profile FAQ entries
  - website/sidebars.ts: navigation updated

ad1bf16f28 chore: remove all remaining mini-swe-agent references
Complete cleanup after dropping the mini-swe-agent submodule (PR #2804):

- Remove MSWEA_SILENT_STARTUP and MSWEA_GLOBAL_CONFIG_DIR env var
  settings from cli.py, run_agent.py, hermes_cli/main.py, doctor.py
- Remove mini-swe-agent health check from hermes doctor
- Remove 'minisweagent' from logger suppression lists
- Remove litellm/typer/platformdirs from requirements.txt
- Remove mini-swe-agent install steps from install.ps1 (Windows)
- Remove mini-swe-agent install steps from website docs
- Update all stale comments/docstrings referencing mini-swe-agent
  in terminal_tool.py, tools/__init__.py, code_execution_tool.py,
  environments/README.md, environments/agent_loop.py
- Remove mini_swe_runner from pyproject.toml py-modules
  (still exists as standalone script for RL training use)
- Shrink test_minisweagent_path.py to empty stub

The orphaned mini-swe-agent/ directory on disk needs manual removal:
  rm -rf mini-swe-agent/
