teknium1 d03d6c2b39 fix(compression): an over-window session that cannot shrink ends the turn with /new guidance and waits one idle budget, not the ceiling
A session far above the model window (~356k tokens on a 131k window in
#116472) re-ran context compression on every turn: a preflight pass that
reclaimed nothing still let the request go to the provider (400 -> overflow
handler -> another pass), and a summary stream that kept emitting tokens
while never committing held the pre-commit wait to the full 600s ceiling.
On the Desktop that blocked the gateway event loop for 10-20 minutes per
turn and the renderer was eventually killed.

- agent/turn_context.py::_fail_closed_on_insufficient_progress: when a
  preflight pass makes no (or sub-5%) progress and the request provably
  exceeds the model window, raise PreflightCompressionTimedOut with
  "start a new session (/new)" guidance so no provider call is sent. An
  unknown window or a fitting request keeps the send-as-is behaviour; a
  pass that no-op'd on a transient guard (summary-failure cooldown) keeps
  its typed cooldown result. Called from both insufficient-progress
  branches of turn_context_compaction._run_preflight_passes.
- agent/conversation_compression.py::run_compress_context_with_progress_timeout:
  an over-window request's pre-commit wait is bounded by one inactivity
  budget (compression.context_timeout_seconds) instead of
  context_total_ceiling_seconds; the existing first-stall deterministic
  fallback then carries the compaction. Config-derived, no new knob.

Slim slice of #116592's Python half.

Website

This website is built using Docusaurus, a modern static website generator.

Reading the docs on GitHub? The Markdown under docs/ is authored for the rendered site at https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/. Cross-page links are relative Markdown paths, so they follow through on GitHub's file viewer too. Every page on the site has an Edit this page link that opens the source file here.

  • Link to another page with a relative Markdown path, anchors included: [Profiles](../user-guide/profiles.md), [Bundles](../user-guide/features/skills.md#skill-bundles). Docusaurus turns the file path into the page route; GitHub follows the same path. Site routes (/user-guide/profiles, /docs/user-guide/profiles) only work on the rendered site — GitHub resolves them as repository paths and 404s, and the /docs/ form also emits /docs/zh-Hans/docs/... 404s in the zh-Hans build because baseUrl is already /docs/.
  • python3 website/scripts/check_doc_links.py fails on any route-style link in hand-authored pages (EN and the zh-Hans mirror); --fix rewrites them. It runs in the Docs Site Checks workflow. Generated pages (user-guide/skills/{bundled,optional}, reference/*skills-catalog.md) are produced by scripts/generate-skill-docs.py, which emits the same relative form.
  • Pin {#anchor} on cross-linked headings so the zh-Hans mirror keeps the same id.

Installation

yarn

Local Development

yarn start

This command starts a local development server and opens up a browser window. Most changes are reflected live without having to restart the server.

Build

yarn build

This command generates static content into the build directory and can be served using any static contents hosting service.

Deployment

Using SSH:

USE_SSH=true yarn deploy

Not using SSH:

GIT_USER=<Your GitHub username> yarn deploy

If you are using GitHub pages for hosting, this command is a convenient way to build the website and push to the gh-pages branch.

Diagram Linting

CI runs ascii-guard to lint docs for ASCII box diagrams. Use Mermaid (````mermaid`) or plain lists/tables instead of ASCII boxes to avoid CI failures.
