Keep one or two behaviour tests per seam (author reset on a cached agent, forged
_turn_author refused, guard trips and cools, single charge on the busy path) and
drop the parser/setting enumerations. a2a_key goes with them: nothing in this PR
reads it; the honcho follow-up that does can bring it back with its consumer.
message_agent sent a bare bot:<profile> id through hermes peer dm, so a remote coder and the recipient's own coder shared one author id. The peer branch now sends bot:<hostname>/<profile>, with the hostname cleaned like any author field and slashes dropped. The direct local path keeps the bare id.
A relayed DM stamped bot:<profile> on the recipient turn, so an ops profile on another machine and the local ops profile shared one author id. The Desktop now forwards from_connection with each bot_relay.deliver, and delivery_turn_author builds bot:<connection>/<profile> for it while the Desktop's own gateway ("local") keeps the bare id. An api author object accepts an optional origin string that yields the same shape.
The Telegram adapter asks the authorization check before dispatch, the ingress gate asks it
again, and the busy path asks a third time. Each call counted one loop-guard event, so a
Telegram bot tripped the budget after a third of the configured messages. The verdict now only
refuses a chat that is cooling down. The ingress gate counts an admitted bot message once.
`parse_turn_author` treats only booleans, integers and the strings true/1/yes as a bot flag,
and returns None for an author with neither id nor name. Names keep format characters and
non-breaking spaces so emoji sequences survive. The quiet one-shot pops HERMES_TURN_AUTHOR
before the turn so tool subprocesses do not inherit it. `max_events` must be a whole positive
number. Issue numbers move out of code comments.
on_turn_start already received the author trio. sync_turn did not, so a
provider that wanted to write the turn under its author had to stash state
between the two hooks. sync_turn now takes turn_author as a keyword-only
argument, and MemoryManager sends it only to providers whose signature
accepts it, so existing providers keep working unchanged.
build_turn_context resets the author on the agent at the start of every turn
so a cached gateway agent never carries a bot author into the next human
turn. agent/turn_author.py holds the parsing and the HERMES_TURN_AUTHOR
carrier.
MemoryProvider.identity_signature() is a new optional hook: the identity
values a provider writes under, declared by the provider itself, for the
gateway's agent cache to key on.
