Symptom (#102041): under a multiplex gateway the default profile's vault/1Password/
Bitwarden/plugin-sourced credentials vanished for the rest of the process after the first
cron fire or the post-discovery plugin refresh; with the key already in the process env
(systemd EnvironmentFile=) the scope was empty from boot. Every get_secret() read then
failed closed ("No usable credentials", every Telegram sender rejected).
Why: _apply_external_secret_sources marked the home applied after any real fetch, but only
snapshotted names in report.provenance — the NEWLY applied ones. On a re-apply the previous
apply's own write-back makes every key `skipped_existing`, so the snapshot latched to {} and
_hydrate_profile_secret_sources returned that empty snapshot forever. Separately,
reset_secret_source_cache() was process-wide, so one profile's cron re-pull dropped every
sibling's hydrated snapshot (1aa62ceb45 isolated the routed reload but not the reset).
Change:
- env_loader: snapshot every name a source supplied (provenance + skipped_existing) from
the home's effective environment, so a shadowed re-apply keeps the values it had.
- reset_secret_source_cache(hermes_home=None): optional per-home reset; global clear kept
for tests/config edits.
- cron per-fire re-pull and plugins._refresh_secret_sources_after_discovery reset + reload
only the home they resolve to.
- Two invariant tests (red on base) in tests/test_env_loader_secret_sources.py; docs note in
secret-source-plugin.md.

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