ethernet dd9efff98b fix(pm): skip the tool re-hash during shell activation
source ./activate and . .\activate.ps1 always run setup, and setup always
runs `python -m pm.cli install`. An explicit install re-hashes every
published tool entry so it can repair a corrupted one. On this machine
that hash reads about 550 MiB and takes 6.0 of the 6.6 seconds, even
when nothing changed.

Shell activation now passes --trust-recorded and trusts the digest the
install recorded, the same check startup already uses. A missing tool
is still installed and a stale venv is still rebuilt. `hermes pm
install` and `hermes update` keep the byte check, and the flag refuses
names, --extra, and --target so it cannot narrow an install someone
asked for by name.

Measured on this machine, already up to date: the activation path drops
from 6.6 s to 0.9 s. A bare `python -m pm.cli install` stays at 7.2 s.
The remaining 0.9 s is process startup and imports, not hashing.

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.
