Under a multiplexed gateway every profile's outbound webhooks share one
delivery worker, so receivers could not tell which profile fired an
event. Add a top-level `profile` field to the payload, resolved at fire
time from the bound Hermes home via get_active_profile_name() ("default"
outside profiles). Documents the field in the wire-format section.

Fixes#92674
re_register_config_hooks() cleared the entire process-global idempotence
set on every force-reload, so a profile-local plugin force-reload dropped
another live profile's ledger key without touching its still-registered
callback — the next registration call for that profile then appended a
duplicate. Scope the clear to the reloading profile's own home, and give
outbound webhooks the same force-reload restoration shell hooks already
had, since unload() wipes both from the shared _hooks dict.
The delivery worker is a daemon thread, so a short-lived process
(hermes chat -q, a cron session) could exit right after firing
on_session_end — silently dropping the headline event. Register a
bounded atexit flush (5s) when the worker starts: a dead endpoint can
delay exit slightly, never hang it.
Live-verified: hermes chat -q now delivers on_session_start,
post_tool_call, and on_session_end to a real receiver; regression test
runs a subprocess that exits without flushing (sabotage-verified).
- delivery_id is now generated once per firing and used for both the
X-Hermes-Delivery header and the signed body's delivery_id field —
previously they were two different uuid4s, breaking receiver-side
dedupe as documented.
- 3xx responses are no longer followed: urllib's default redirect
handler converts a redirected POST into a body-less GET, silently
dropping the signed payload. Redirects now log a misconfiguration
warning and count as delivery failure (no retry).
- Docs: receiver-side replay-protection guidance (dedupe on
delivery_id, timestamp freshness window) + redirect semantics.
- Tests: 5xx retry count, redirect-not-followed (sabotage-verified),
header/body delivery_id equality.
The inverse of the inbound webhook platform: hooks.outbound in
config.yaml lists HTTP targets + the plugin-hook events they subscribe
to (on_session_end, subagent_stop, post_tool_call, ...). Each firing
POSTs a JSON payload (same top-level shape as shell hooks' stdin wire)
signed GitHub-style with HMAC-SHA256 (X-Hermes-Signature-256).
Rides the existing hook bus — notify-only callbacks registered on the
plugin manager at the same CLI/gateway/main entry points as shell
hooks. Delivery is fire-and-forget via a bounded queue + single daemon
worker thread, so a dead endpoint can never stall a tool call. Bounded
retries (5xx/conn errors once; 4xx never). secret_env preferred over
inline secret. HERMES_SAFE_MODE skips registration. hermes hooks list
shows outbound targets with signed/UNSIGNED status.
Zero new model tools, zero new subsystems.
