Every chat session now runs through the Hermes bridge, so the three chat
chains become feature-equivalent instead of three partially-maintained
dispatch paths. Keeping the coding-agent and in-house agent runtimes alive
meant every bridge change had to be mirrored into two more runtimes that
had already drifted.
Historical rows are read, not migrated: sessions stored with the retired
source normalize to cli on load, workflow graphs naming the retired agents
keep loading and run on the bridge, and the visible-source check plus
SOURCE_LABELS still recognize the old value so those sessions stay listed.
The public surface follows the code: the OpenAPI generator and the MCP
chat-run tool schema drop the six retired entry fields so external callers
are not told about runtimes that no longer exist.
harness-check gains a RETIRED_RUNTIME scan so the residual check is a
mechanical gate instead of a manual grep, with the two surviving read-side
compat sites recorded with reasons.

Import the client, server, skills, tests, and build scripts as the starting
point for the rebuild, then trim the surfaces this project does not ship:
Electron desktop packaging, the marketing website, and the ESP32 firmware
tree. CI keeps the web build, e2e, lockfile, release, and Docker workflows.
Rename the package and CLI entry points to hermes-ui, drop the prepare hook so
npm ci no longer triggers a build, and drop the removed tsconfig and nodemon
references. Rewrite AGENTS.md, ARCHITECTURE.md, DEVELOPMENT.md, and the READMEs
so the documented package map and hard rules match this repository.
reference_code/ is ignored: it is a read-only snapshot, not an input to the build.
