- hermes_cli/config_defaults.py: the agent.clarify_timeout comment claimed
"CLI clarify blocks indefinitely and ignores this"; the CLI reads it (via
resolve_clarify_timeout) — describe the real contract and the legacy
clarify.timeout precedence once.
- agent/tool_executor.py: the sequential-middleware docstring named clarify
as exempt from the generic deadline while _SEQUENTIAL_DEADLINE_EXEMPT_TOOLS
does not list it; the exemption is the _NEVER_PARALLEL_TOOLS inline path
(61645cde82). Point at it so nobody re-adds a dead set entry.
- website/docs: configuration.md Clarify section covers all surfaces and the
deadline exemption; discord.md (+ zh-Hans discord/telegram) still said the
default was 600 s.
