Teknium 6229683b62 feat(cli): hermes peer — bot-to-bot DMs across machines and gateways
Bots could message teammates on their own machine (hermes -p <bot> chat) and
the desktop could relay user mentions over Connections, but a bot had NO
transport to a bot on another gateway. This adds one, with zero new server
surface: the peer's existing api_server platform is the wire.

- hermes_cli/subcommands/peer.py: `hermes peer add/list/remove/dm`.
  `dm <peer>[/<agent>]` resolves the remote agent's canonical "Bot Chat"
  (list by title, create when missing), runs one synchronous agent turn via
  POST /api/sessions/{id}/chat, and prints the reply on stdout — the exact
  cross-machine twin of the local bot-messaging command, so the Bot Mode
  protocol composes over it unchanged. Named profiles route via the peer's
  /p/<profile>/ multiplex mirror. Peer URLs live in config.yaml
  (`bot_peers`); the peer's API_SERVER_KEY is a credential and lives in
  ~/.hermes/.env as HERMES_PEER_<NAME>_KEY.
- hermes_cli/main.py: parser wiring + fast-path/session-flag command sets.
- tools/bot_mode_probe.py: when peers are registered, the injected Bot Chat
  messaging protocol gains a cross-machine paragraph (peer roster +
  `hermes peer dm` pattern) so agents discover remote teammates on their
  own; peers join the capability fingerprint so registering/removing one
  refreshes eternal Bot Chat prompts on the next message (loud, one-time,
  user-initiated — no per-turn cache drift).
- Docs: Bot Mode guide (bot-initiated DMs across machines) + cli-commands
  reference (`hermes peer` section + summary row).

Tests: tests/hermes_cli/test_peer_cmd.py (target parsing, /p/ scoping,
registry round-trip in isolated config, real-loopback-HTTP dm flow incl.
Bot Chat create-vs-reuse and bearer auth), bot_mode_probe peer-paragraph +
epoch tests. E2E: real `python -m hermes_cli.main peer ...` against a live
fake peer over HTTP with isolated HERMES_HOME (config/.env persistence,
bare + /p/<profile> routing, stdin, --json). 23 passed; ruff clean.

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.
