John Paul Soliva 3acd949217 feat(desktop): keep-awake follows the turn — a "while working" mode alongside off/always
"Keep computer awake" was a boolean: off, or a machine-global power-save
blocker held for as long as Hermes Desktop is open. That is the wrong shape
for its own stated purpose. An unattended overnight run dies when the
machine sleeps unless the user predicted, before starting, that they would
need the toggle — and a user who did flip it leaves a laptop pinned awake
all week, including the idle hours after the run finished (#101991).

Main already knows, live, whether any turn is in flight:
`mergeActiveWork(activeWorkByWebContents.values()).count > 0` is the exact
expression that drives stream throttling. This change wires the blocker to
that same signal behind a three-way mode:

  off            never hold the blocker (unchanged default)
  while-working  hold it only while a turn is in flight; release at idle
  always         hold it whenever the app is open (what `on` used to mean)

Both persisted copies migrate in place. The renderer's localStorage boolean
(`hermes.desktop.keepAwake.v1`) and main's `keep-awake.json` `{ on }` are
read once and mapped `true -> always`, `false -> off`, so an existing user
sees exactly the behaviour they had. The IPC channel keeps its name and
accepts either the mode or the old boolean. An unrecognised saved value is
refused rather than trusted and falls back to `off`.

No new listener, timer, or IPC channel: `updateStreamThrottleFromActiveWork`
computes the merged picture once and hands it to both consumers, and the
cold-launch apply reads the mode instead of the flag. No trailing delay
between back-to-back turns — a sub-second release cannot let a machine
sleep, and `powerSaveBlocker` start/stop are cheap.

The policy is three pure functions in power-save.ts (parse, read, wanted)
so it is testable without the main process; main only wires them.

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.
