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.

Agent Map
This file is a short map for coding agents. Keep detailed guidance in docs/
and keep this file small enough to fit into every task context.
First Reads
DEVELOPMENT.md- project commands, coding rules, test rules, and PR shape.ARCHITECTURE.md- package boundaries, data ownership, and runtime flow.docs/harness/README.md- how this repository is prepared for agent work.docs/harness/validation.md- which checks to run for each change type.docs/harness/worktree-runbook.md- isolated local dev and test setup.docs/harness/pr-review.md- self-review checklist before pushing.
Common Commands
npm ci --ignore-scripts
npm run harness:check
npm run test
npm run test:e2e
npm run build
Use the smallest relevant check while iterating. Before a broad PR, run
npm run harness:check, npm run test:coverage, npm run test:e2e, and
npm run build.
Code Ownership Map
packages/client/src- Vue 3 client, stores, routes, i18n, API helpers.packages/server/src- Koa API, Socket.IO, persistence, Hermes integration.packages/skills- built-in skills injected into the Hermes skills directory.tests/client,tests/server,tests/shared- Vitest coverage.tests/e2e- Playwright browser coverage with mocked backend services..github/workflows- CI, release, and Docker packaging automation.
Hard Rules
- Keep routes thin: put request handling in controllers and reusable behavior in services.
- Keep Web UI state under
HERMES_WEB_UI_HOMEorHERMES_WEBUI_STATE_DIR. - Keep Hermes Agent state separate from Web UI state.
- Register local API routes before proxy catch-all routes.
- Use structured APIs and argument arrays instead of shell string construction.
- Add user-facing strings to every locale file.
- Do not mix unrelated refactors into a bug fix.
Red Lines
packages/server/src/services/hermes/agent-bridge/python/is read-only vendored code.- The
/chat-runSocket.IO event contract must not change event names, field names, field types, or emission timing. Adding optional fields is allowed. - Hermes
state.dbis read-only. Node-side code must never open it; read session history through the bridge'sgetHistory/getOutputinstead. services/hermes/group-chat/,lib/context-compressor/, andservices/hermes/context-engine/are the chat chain: changes require adocs/chat-chain-changes/<date>-<slug>.mdfragment.packages/desktopandpackages/websiteare removed; do not reintroduce them.
When The Agent Gets Stuck
Improve the harness instead of repeating the same prompt. Add missing docs, tests, logs, scripts, or CI checks so the next agent can see and verify the constraint directly.
