Teknium e05c91ac71 fix(cli): slow /handoff transfers no longer misreported as "gateway not running"
Live-reproduced on main: /handoff poll-waited a flat 60s for a TERMINAL
state, but the gateway's dispatch is a full synthetic agent turn (whole
transcript replay + delivery) that routinely exceeds 60s on long sessions.
The CLI then printed "Timed out waiting for the gateway. Is `hermes
gateway` running?" (false diagnosis), called fail_handoff() on the RUNNING
row (stomping the gateway's claim), and promised "Your CLI session is
intact" after switch_session had already re-pointed the session. The
watcher later overwrote failed -> completed: split-brain.

- hermes_state.fail_handoff gains only_states CAS; waiters can only fail
  rows still pending. Owner (gateway watcher) keeps the unconditional form.
- CLI wait loop is two-phase: 60s for the CLAIM (pending) — a timeout
  there really does mean no gateway — then up to 15 min for the claimed
  dispatch with 30s heartbeats; a running row is never failed by the CLI.
- Desktop handoff.fail RPC now CAS-fails pending rows only; a running row
  returns {failed: false, state: running} instead of stomping the claim.

Repro (real _handoff_watcher, real state.db, CLI as separate process,
75s dispatch): before — CLI timeout @60s + false message + row stomped;
after — pending->running@5s->completed@80s, clean CLI exit.

Website

This website is built using Docusaurus, a modern static website generator.

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.
