Austin Pickett d94769da64 fix(update): a Desktop-only host settles an inventory-less restart obligation (#120740)
* refactor(update): one predicate for serve rows outside the gateway matrix

The inventory branch of `_marker_only_restart_obsolete` inlined the rule for which
serve/dashboard rows the gateway matrix neither covers nor needs to (supervisor-owned,
or a manual serve handed to its own reminder). The inventory-less branch needs the same
rule for #118742, so it moves to `update_cmd_fleet_gatewayless.runtime_outside_gateway_evidence`
and both branches will read one definition. No behaviour change.

* fix(update): a Desktop-only host settles an inventory-less restart obligation

A host that runs no gateway (the Desktop app alone) can be left with an inventory-less
fleet-restart obligation: an updater that died before recording its inventory, or the
pre-inventory writer. With no owed set, the live gateway matrix is its only evidence, and
on that host the matrix is empty forever, so `_marker_only_restart_obsolete` never settled
and every later `hermes update` exited 1 with "gateways are still off the checkout code"
(#118742).

An empty fleet alone cannot tell that host from one whose gateway the dying update stopped,
so the inventory-less branch now asks the live host, never a historical receipt:
`host_owes_no_gateway_restart` settles only when no profile's `gateway_state.json` claims a
state other than stopped/startup_failed (a gateway that went away without a clean stop keeps
the obligation) and every live runtime sits outside the gateway matrix
(`runtime_outside_gateway_evidence`, shared with the inventory branch). HEAD must still
contain the pulled SHA (`checkout_contains`, same rule as #119367). Probe failures keep it.

Tests: the scoped-reconciliation matrix now holds its host at "the update stopped a gateway"
so it keeps pinning receipt independence; a new host-evidence matrix covers Desktop-only,
clean stop, carried commit, stopped gateway in a named profile, unclassified and
unidentified serves, a gateway row without fleet identity, and a diverged checkout. Two
manual-serve tests that assumed an empty fleet always stays pending now stub the live host
and assert the manual reminder survives the gateway obligation settling.

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.
