kshitijk4poor 9ab49e73b4 fix(web): honest guest refusal, and one route walk per search dispatch
Two review findings on the free fast-search route.

A guest with a stored `web.backend: nous` holds a real Nous identity and a
usable token; the route excludes it by tier, not by absence. The refusal said
"no Nous identity or unreachable", which is wrong for exactly the cohort this
route was gated against. Reuse the canonical FREE_TIER_NEEDS_ACCOUNT text for
the anonymous tier and keep the unreachable wording for everyone else.

search() then called _managed_web_search() a third time just to choose that
message, after _managed_gateway() had already resolved the route — a full
autodetect ladder plus a Portal account read and token peek. Let _managed_gateway
accept the answer its caller already computed so a dispatch walks the ladder
once.

Docs: the autodetect row implies the keyless switch governs a registered
identity's web_search. It does not.

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.
