- New dashboard.ws_ping_interval / dashboard.ws_ping_timeout defaults
(20.0/20.0) in DEFAULT_CONFIG; hermes_cli/web_server.py reads them for
non-loopback binds. Loopback keeps ws_ping=None (event-loop stalls must
never kill a healthy local connection).
- New dashboard.ws_orphan_reap_grace_s (20.0): tui_gateway/server.py's
_WS_ORPHAN_REAP_GRACE_S now resolves from config via
_resolve_ws_orphan_reap_grace(); the HERMES_TUI_WS_ORPHAN_REAP_GRACE_S
env var is kept as an internal override for backward compat and wins
when set.
- tests/test_ws_keepalive_config.py: real load_config against a temp
HERMES_HOME yaml — defaults, propagation, deep-merge, env override,
invalid-value fallback.
