Teknium 2fa8090568 fix(update): pack tidy erases only provably redundant packs
An independent live review of the tidy found it could lose data: a merge
under pack.packSizeLimit published only the first of several output packs
(45 of 60 commits gone), erasing "commit-free" on-demand packs dropped trees
and blobs a local branch still needed once upstream had pruned them, a
process killed mid-erase left a multi-pack-index naming a deleted pack, and
a classification timeout was cached as "holds commits" forever.

The erase rule is now proof against local packs alone: a promisor pack goes
only when every object in it is also in another promisor pack (checked by
binary search over the .idx files, no git process per pack). Nothing stored
locally can be lost and nothing depends on the remote still serving it, so
the marker heuristics and commit classification are gone. Merges run with
pack.packSizeLimit=0 and refuse anything but exactly one output; the
multi-pack-index is dropped before any pack is removed, so a kill at any
point leaves git reading; a lock file keeps two tidies from each erasing a
pack because the other still holds its copies.

.keep files written by a fetch-pack/index-pack that died (older than an
hour) no longer pin their packs. git's own repack never touches .keep'd
packs, and on a real dev checkout 53 of them held 4.5 GB of duplicated
history downloads.

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.
