Siddharth Balyan 5eea87882a Clarify: one question shape and one result shape on every surface (skip, cancel, timeout and undelivered are told apart) (#127760)
* refactor(desktop): split clarify-tool.tsx into a clarify/ folder

Pure moves, no behaviour change. Parsing, the question-card core
(shell, choice rows, question block), the delivery watchdog, and each
pending/settled card get their own file so the core can be reused.

* feat(clarify): one questions[] shape with per-question status and one outcome

The clarify tool now takes only questions=[{question, choices?, multi_select?}].
A wrong shape is a tool error that names the right one, so a model that
sends the old top-level question/choices corrects itself on the next call.

Every result has the same shape on every surface: each response carries
status (answered, skipped, unanswered) with user_response null unless
answered, and the result carries one outcome (submitted, cancelled,
timed_out, undelivered) plus an optional surface-written notice. The
timeout and cancel sentences that used to pose as the user's answer are
gone, and the compressor reads status instead of matching their prefixes.

The callback contract is callback(questions) -> {answers, outcome, notice?}
(None = skipped, missing qid = unanswered). tui_gateway settles a batch the
same way for the last lock, a cancel, an interrupt and the deadline, and
clarify.lock keeps a null answer as a skip. A multi-select answer that is
not a JSON array counts as one typed ("Other") answer. The tool-row preview
reads the first question.

* feat(clarify): every surface asks through the one question card

CLI: the batch panel is the only panel; Enter on an empty field skips a
question, Ctrl+C cancels and keeps the locked answers, the deadline returns
timed_out. -q and -z return undelivered with a no-user notice.

Ink TUI: the single-question prompt is gone; the card supports multi-select
(Space or a digit toggles, Enter locks, typed Other text joins the picks),
an empty submit skips, Esc cancels, and "Batch" names are dropped.

Desktop: the single-question card is deleted and its keyboard handling moved
into the one card (arrows, letters and digits, auto-advance, Enter picks then
confirms). Confirm enables at one answer; blank questions lock null; Skip and
a composer message cancel; the settled card shows No answer for unanswered
questions. The bots room card follows the same contract.

Messaging: one card per question with a "Reply skip to skip" line in every
locale; timeouts and delivery failures map to timed_out and undelivered.

* fix(clarify): cancelled for a released messaging card, labels win over the skip word

A prose reply to a messaging choice card, /new and session end released
the wait with "", which read as timed_out. They now resolve with a
CANCELLED marker and the tool gets outcome cancelled.

A typed reply that matches a choice label ("Skip") now resolves to that
choice; the skip word applies only when no choice matches.

The bots room card sends the picked labels as they are; the tool already
strips the recommendation label. Unused OUTCOMES and a new docstring and
comment are removed.

* fix(tui): re-editing a multi-select answer keeps its picks

The Ink card stored a multi-select answer as display text ("A, B"), so
revisiting the question put the whole string into Other and re-locked it
as one item. The answers map now keeps the raw JSON array, the card
restores the picks on revisit, and only the display lines format it.

Comments that earlier edits reworded are restored to their original
words, minus the phrases the change made wrong. The compute-host clarify
lock accepts None for a skipped question.

* test(clarify): align three checks with the one-answer confirm and the regenerated keys

The desktop Cmd+Enter test now expects a send with one answer (the blank
question locks null), the compressor test expects the single-answer summary
the code gives, and locales/_keys.desktop.json is regenerated for the
removed and added clarify strings.

* test(tui): the one-question card header is singular

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.
