Siddharth Balyan 98278833e2 Compaction follows compression.threshold again: no default 256K token cap (#117915, #125235) (#126064)
* fix(compression): compaction follows the ratio again; no default token cap

compression.threshold_tokens defaulted to 256000 since #115986, so every
window above ~341K compacted at 256K regardless of compression.threshold
or model_thresholds: a 1M-window model compacted at 25% of its window,
and threshold: 0.8 still compacted at 256K. No single token count suits
windows from 64K to 1M+, so the cap goes back to opt-in (null) and the
ratio decides, as it did before #115986.

The template seeder and `hermes doctor --fix` copied the 256000 default
into config.yaml, where it reads as a user choice and would keep capping
those installs. Config v47 drops threshold_tokens only when it equals
256000; any other explicit cap and an explicit null are preserved.

The rest of #115986 stays: the model-switch warning quoting the real
trigger and the shared _derive_trigger are correct with any default.
Tests that encoded 256K now derive expectations from DEFAULT_CONFIG.

* docs(compression): threshold_tokens is an optional cap, default null

User guide, developer guide and delegation page described the 256K
default cap; they now describe the ratio trigger as the default and
threshold_tokens as an opt-in cost ceiling.

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.
