ethernet b4d5092d3f refactor(activate): split interactive activation from running a command in the env
`activate` doubled as the thing scripts sourced non-interactively, so it
carried `--` argument guards and every caller had to tolerate its prompt and
`hermes` function. Composition (setup sync, bootstrap Python, pm env) now
lives in scripts/_activation.sh, and there are two consumers:

- `activate`: interactive, reversible (`deactivate`).
- new `scripts/run-in-hermes-env CMD...`: applies the env to one process and
  execs into it. Replaces `scripts/_hermes-python`; every Python script's
  shebang and `scripts/run_tests.sh` (which re-executes itself under it,
  however it was launched) use it.

`pm.environments --format sh` emits the env as shell exports, so the inline
JSON-to-export Python is gone from `activate`. An install that did not build
the test environment now reads as stale for every consumer.

Tests are split along the same seams: activation support fixtures, bash/ps1
activation, env-script quoting, and the runner's staleness.

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.
