fix(tests): also add api_key where missing (AIAgent needs BOTH for direct path)

My last fix added base_url but not api_key. AIAgent.__init__ takes the
direct-construction path only when BOTH are set — with only base_url
it still calls resolve_provider_client and fails in hermetic CI.

Same 31 call sites, now with both kwargs.

-## TUI Architecture (ui-tui + tui_gateway)
-
-The TUI is a full replacement for the classic (prompt_toolkit) CLI, activated via `hermes --tui` or `HERMES_TUI=1`.
-
-### Process Model
-
-```
-hermes --tui
-  └─ Node (Ink)  ──stdio JSON-RPC──  Python (tui_gateway)
-       │                                  └─ AIAgent + tools + sessions
-       └─ renders transcript, composer, prompts, activity
-```
-
-TypeScript owns the screen. Python owns sessions, tools, model calls, and slash command logic.
-
-### Transport
-
-Newline-delimited JSON-RPC over stdio. Requests from Ink, events from Python. See `tui_gateway/server.py` for the full method/event catalog.
-
-### Key Surfaces
-
-| Surface | Ink component | Gateway method |
-|---------|---------------|----------------|
-| Chat streaming | `app.tsx` + `messageLine.tsx` | `prompt.submit` → `message.delta/complete` |
-| Tool activity | `thinking.tsx` | `tool.start/progress/complete` |
-| Approvals | `prompts.tsx` | `approval.respond` ← `approval.request` |
-| Clarify/sudo/secret | `prompts.tsx`, `maskedPrompt.tsx` | `clarify/sudo/secret.respond` |
-| Session picker | `sessionPicker.tsx` | `session.list/resume` |
-| Slash commands | Local handler + fallthrough | `slash.exec` → `_SlashWorker`, `command.dispatch` |
-| Completions | `useCompletion` hook | `complete.slash`, `complete.path` |
-| Theming | `theme.ts` + `branding.tsx` | `gateway.ready` with skin data |
-
-### Slash Command Flow
-
-1. Built-in client commands (`/help`, `/quit`, `/clear`, `/resume`, `/copy`, `/paste`, etc.) handled locally in `app.tsx`
-2. Everything else → `slash.exec` (runs in persistent `_SlashWorker` subprocess) → `command.dispatch` fallback
-
-### Dev Commands
-
-```bash
-cd ui-tui
-npm install       # first time
-npm run dev       # watch mode (rebuilds hermes-ink + tsx --watch)
-npm start         # production
-npm run build     # full build (hermes-ink + tsc)
-npm run type-check # typecheck only (tsc --noEmit)
-npm run lint      # eslint
-npm run fmt       # prettier

-### Don't write change-detector tests
-
-A test is a **change-detector** if it fails whenever data that is **expected
-to change** gets updated — model catalogs, config version numbers,
-enumeration counts, hardcoded lists of provider models. These tests add no
-behavioral coverage; they just guarantee that routine source updates break
-CI and cost engineering time to "fix."
-
-**Do not write:**
-
-```python
-# catalog snapshot — breaks every model release
-assert "gemini-2.5-pro" in _PROVIDER_MODELS["gemini"]
-assert "MiniMax-M2.7" in models
-
-# config version literal — breaks every schema bump
-assert DEFAULT_CONFIG["_config_version"] == 21
-
-# enumeration count — breaks every time a skill/provider is added
-assert len(_PROVIDER_MODELS["huggingface"]) == 8
-```
-
-**Do write:**
-
-```python
-# behavior: does the catalog plumbing work at all?
-assert "gemini" in _PROVIDER_MODELS
-assert len(_PROVIDER_MODELS["gemini"]) >= 1
-
-# behavior: does migration bump the user's version to current latest?
-assert raw["_config_version"] == DEFAULT_CONFIG["_config_version"]
-
-# invariant: no plan-only model leaks into the legacy list
-assert not (set(moonshot_models) & coding_plan_only_models)
-
-# invariant: every model in the catalog has a context-length entry
-for m in _PROVIDER_MODELS["huggingface"]:
-    assert m.lower() in DEFAULT_CONTEXT_LENGTHS_LOWER
-```
-
-The rule: if the test reads like a snapshot of current data, delete it. If
-it reads like a contract about how two pieces of data must relate, keep it.
-When a PR adds a new provider/model and you want a test, make the test
-assert the relationship (e.g. "catalog entries all have context lengths"),
-not the specific names.
-
-Reviewers should reject new change-detector tests; authors should convert
-them into invariants before re-requesting review.

-"""Unified removal contract for every credential source Hermes reads from.
-
-Hermes seeds its credential pool from many places:
-
-    env:<VAR>     — os.environ / ~/.hermes/.env
-    claude_code   — ~/.claude/.credentials.json
-    hermes_pkce   — ~/.hermes/.anthropic_oauth.json
-    device_code   — auth.json providers.<provider> (nous, openai-codex, ...)
-    qwen-cli      — ~/.qwen/oauth_creds.json
-    gh_cli        — gh auth token
-    config:<name> — custom_providers config entry
-    model_config  — model.api_key when model.provider == "custom"
-    manual        — user ran `hermes auth add`
-
-Each source has its own reader inside ``agent.credential_pool._seed_from_*``
-(which keep their existing shape — we haven't restructured them).  What we
-unify here is **removal**:
-
-    ``hermes auth remove <provider> <N>`` must make the pool entry stay gone.
-
-Before this module, every source had an ad-hoc removal branch in
-``auth_remove_command``, and several sources had no branch at all — so
-``auth remove`` silently reverted on the next ``load_pool()`` call for
-qwen-cli, nous device_code (partial), hermes_pkce, copilot gh_cli, and
-custom-config sources.
-
-Now every source registers a ``RemovalStep`` that does exactly three things
-in the same shape:
-
-    1. Clean up whatever externally-readable state the source reads from
-       (.env line, auth.json block, OAuth file, etc.)
-    2. Suppress the ``(provider, source_id)`` in auth.json so the
-       corresponding ``_seed_from_*`` branch skips the upsert on re-load
-    3. Return ``RemovalResult`` describing what was cleaned and any
-       diagnostic hints the user should see (shell-exported env vars,
-       external credential files we deliberately don't delete, etc.)
-
-Adding a new credential source is:
-    - wire up a reader branch in ``_seed_from_*`` (existing pattern)
-    - gate that reader behind ``is_source_suppressed(provider, source_id)``

-"""OpenAI-compatible facade over Google AI Studio's native Gemini API.
-
-Hermes keeps ``api_mode='chat_completions'`` for the ``gemini`` provider so the
-main agent loop can keep using its existing OpenAI-shaped message flow.
-This adapter is the transport shim that converts those OpenAI-style
-``messages[]`` / ``tools[]`` requests into Gemini's native
-``models/{model}:generateContent`` schema and converts the responses back.
-
-Why this exists
----------------
-Google's OpenAI-compatible endpoint has been brittle for Hermes's multi-turn
-agent/tool loop (auth churn, tool-call replay quirks, thought-signature
-requirements).  The native Gemini API is the canonical path and avoids the
-OpenAI-compat layer entirely.

-Shell-script hooks bridge.
-
-Reads the ``hooks:`` block from ``cli-config.yaml``, prompts the user for
-consent on first use of each ``(event, command)`` pair, and registers
-callbacks on the existing plugin hook manager so every existing
-``invoke_hook()`` site dispatches to the configured shell scripts — with
-zero changes to call sites.
-
-Design notes
-------------
-* Python plugins and shell hooks compose naturally: both flow through
-  :func:`hermes_cli.plugins.invoke_hook` and its aggregators.  Python
-  plugins are registered first (via ``discover_and_load()``) so their
-  block decisions win ties over shell-hook blocks.
-* Subprocess execution uses ``shlex.split(os.path.expanduser(command))``
-  with ``shell=False`` — no shell injection footguns.  Users that need
-  pipes/redirection wrap their logic in a script.
-* First-use consent is gated by the allowlist under
-  ``~/.hermes/shell-hooks-allowlist.json``.  Non-TTY callers must pass
-  ``accept_hooks=True`` (resolved from ``--accept-hooks``,
-  ``HERMES_ACCEPT_HOOKS``, or ``hooks_auto_accept: true`` in config)
-  for registration to succeed without a prompt.
-* Registration is idempotent — safe to invoke from both the CLI entry
-  point (``hermes_cli/main.py``) and the gateway entry point
-  (``gateway/run.py``).
-

+# Hermes Agent — ACP (Agent Client Protocol) Setup Guide
+
+Hermes Agent supports the **Agent Client Protocol (ACP)**, allowing it to run as
+a coding agent inside your editor. ACP lets your IDE send tasks to Hermes, and
+Hermes responds with file edits, terminal commands, and explanations — all shown
+natively in the editor UI.
+
+---
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Hermes Agent installed and configured (`hermes setup` completed)
+- An API key / provider set up in `~/.hermes/.env` or via `hermes login`
+- Python 3.11+
+
+Install the ACP extra:
+
+```bash
+pip install -e ".[acp]"
+```
+
+---
+
+## VS Code Setup
+
+### 1. Install the ACP Client extension
+
+Open VS Code and install **ACP Client** from the marketplace:
+
+- Press `Ctrl+Shift+X` (or `Cmd+Shift+X` on macOS)
+- Search for **"ACP Client"**
+- Click **Install**
+
+Or install from the command line:
+
+```bash
+code --install-extension anysphere.acp-client
+```
+
+### 2. Configure settings.json
+
+Open your VS Code settings (`Ctrl+,` → click the `{}` icon for JSON) and add:
+
+```json
+{
+  "acpClient.agents": [
+    {
+      "name": "hermes-agent",
+      "registryDir": "/path/to/hermes-agent/acp_registry"
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+Replace `/path/to/hermes-agent` with the actual path to your Hermes Agent
+installation (e.g. `~/.hermes/hermes-agent`).
+
+Alternatively, if `hermes` is on your PATH, the ACP Client can discover it
+automatically via the registry directory.
+
+### 3. Restart VS Code
+
+After configuring, restart VS Code. You should see **Hermes Agent** appear in
+the ACP agent picker in the chat/agent panel.
+
+---
+
+## Zed Setup
+
+Zed has built-in ACP support.
+
+### 1. Configure Zed settings
+
+Open Zed settings (`Cmd+,` on macOS or `Ctrl+,` on Linux) and add to your
+`settings.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "agent_servers": {
+    "hermes-agent": {
+      "type": "custom",
+      "command": "hermes",
+      "args": ["acp"],
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Restart Zed
+
+Hermes Agent will appear in the agent panel. Select it and start a conversation.
+
+---
+
+## JetBrains Setup (IntelliJ, PyCharm, WebStorm, etc.)
+
+### 1. Install the ACP plugin
+
+- Open **Settings** → **Plugins** → **Marketplace**
+- Search for **"ACP"** or **"Agent Client Protocol"**
+- Install and restart the IDE
+
+### 2. Configure the agent
+
+- Open **Settings** → **Tools** → **ACP Agents**
+- Click **+** to add a new agent
+- Set the registry directory to your `acp_registry/` folder:
+  `/path/to/hermes-agent/acp_registry`
+- Click **OK**
+
+### 3. Use the agent
+
+Open the ACP panel (usually in the right sidebar) and select **Hermes Agent**.
+
+---
+
+## What You Will See
+
+Once connected, your editor provides a native interface to Hermes Agent:
+
+### Chat Panel
+A conversational interface where you can describe tasks, ask questions, and
+give instructions. Hermes responds with explanations and actions.
+
+### File Diffs
+When Hermes edits files, you see standard diffs in the editor. You can:
+- **Accept** individual changes
+- **Reject** changes you don't want
+- **Review** the full diff before applying
+
+### Terminal Commands
+When Hermes needs to run shell commands (builds, tests, installs), the editor
+shows them in an integrated terminal. Depending on your settings:
+- Commands may run automatically
+- Or you may be prompted to **approve** each command
+
+### Approval Flow
+For potentially destructive operations, the editor will prompt you for
+approval before Hermes proceeds. This includes:
+- File deletions
+- Shell commands
+- Git operations
+
+---
+
+## Configuration
+
+Hermes Agent under ACP uses the **same configuration** as the CLI:
+
+- **API keys / providers**: `~/.hermes/.env`
+- **Agent config**: `~/.hermes/config.yaml`
+- **Skills**: `~/.hermes/skills/`
+- **Sessions**: `~/.hermes/state.db`
+
+You can run `hermes setup` to configure providers, or edit `~/.hermes/.env`
+directly.
+
+### Changing the model
+
+Edit `~/.hermes/config.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+model: openrouter/nous/hermes-3-llama-3.1-70b
+```
+
+Or set the `HERMES_MODEL` environment variable.
+
+### Toolsets
+
+ACP sessions use the curated `hermes-acp` toolset by default. It is designed for editor workflows and intentionally excludes things like messaging delivery, cronjob management, and audio-first UX features.
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Agent doesn't appear in the editor
+
+1. **Check the registry path** — make sure the `acp_registry/` directory path
+   in your editor settings is correct and contains `agent.json`.
+2. **Check `hermes` is on PATH** — run `which hermes` in a terminal. If not
+   found, you may need to activate your virtualenv or add it to PATH.
+3. **Restart the editor** after changing settings.
+
+### Agent starts but errors immediately
+
+1. Run `hermes doctor` to check your configuration.
+2. Check that you have a valid API key: `hermes status`
+3. Try running `hermes acp` directly in a terminal to see error output.
+
+### "Module not found" errors
+
+Make sure you installed the ACP extra:
+
+```bash
+pip install -e ".[acp]"
+```
+
+### Slow responses
+
+- ACP streams responses, so you should see incremental output. If the agent
+  appears stuck, check your network connection and API provider status.
+- Some providers have rate limits. Try switching to a different model/provider.
+
+### Permission denied for terminal commands
+
+If the editor blocks terminal commands, check your ACP Client extension
+settings for auto-approval or manual-approval preferences.
+
+### Logs
+
+Hermes logs are written to stderr when running in ACP mode. Check:
+- VS Code: **Output** panel → select **ACP Client** or **Hermes Agent**
+- Zed: **View** → **Toggle Terminal** and check the process output
+- JetBrains: **Event Log** or the ACP tool window
+
+You can also enable verbose logging:
+
+```bash
+HERMES_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG hermes acp
+```
+
+---
+

+- [ACP Specification](https://github.com/anysphere/acp)
+- [Hermes Agent Documentation](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent)
+- Run `hermes --help` for all CLI options

+<!-- OVERVIEW -->
+<section id="overview">
+  <h2>Overview</h2>
+
+  <p>Two independent Honcho integrations have been built for two different agent runtimes: <strong>Hermes Agent</strong> (Python, baked into the runner) and <strong>openclaw-honcho</strong> (TypeScript plugin via hook/tool API). Both use the same Honcho peer paradigm — dual peer model, <code>session.context()</code>, <code>peer.chat()</code> — but they made different tradeoffs at every layer.</p>
+
+  <p>This document maps those tradeoffs and defines a porting spec: a set of Hermes-originated patterns, each stated as an integration-agnostic interface, that any Honcho integration can adopt regardless of runtime or language.</p>
+
+  <div class="callout">
+    <strong>Scope</strong> Both integrations work correctly today. This spec is about the delta — patterns in Hermes that are worth propagating and patterns in openclaw-honcho that Hermes should eventually adopt. The spec is additive, not prescriptive.

+<!-- ARCHITECTURE -->
+<section id="architecture">
+  <h2>Architecture comparison</h2>
+
+  <h3>Hermes: baked-in runner</h3>
+  <p>Honcho is initialised directly inside <code>AIAgent.__init__</code>. There is no plugin boundary. Session management, context injection, async prefetch, and CLI surface are all first-class concerns of the runner. Context is injected once per session (baked into <code>_cached_system_prompt</code>) and never re-fetched mid-session — this maximises prefix cache hits at the LLM provider.</p>

+
+  <h3>openclaw-honcho: hook-based plugin</h3>
+  <p>The plugin registers hooks against OpenClaw's event bus. Context is fetched synchronously inside <code>before_prompt_build</code> on every turn. Message capture happens in <code>agent_end</code>. The multi-agent hierarchy is tracked via <code>subagent_spawned</code>. This model is correct but every turn pays a blocking Honcho round-trip before the LLM call can begin.</p>

+
+<!-- SPEC: ASYNC PREFETCH -->
+<section id="spec-async">
+  <h2>Spec: async prefetch</h2>
+
+  <h3>Problem</h3>
+  <p>Calling <code>session.context()</code> and <code>peer.chat()</code> synchronously before each LLM call adds 200–800ms of Honcho round-trip latency to every turn. Users experience this as the agent "thinking slowly."</p>
+
+  <h3>Pattern</h3>
+  <p>Fire both calls as non-blocking background work at the <strong>end</strong> of each turn. Store results in a per-session cache keyed by session ID. At the <strong>start</strong> of the next turn, pop from cache — the HTTP is already done. First turn is cold (empty cache); all subsequent turns are zero-latency on the response path.</p>
+
+  <h3>Interface contract</h3>
+  <pre><code><span class="cm">// TypeScript (openclaw / nanobot plugin shape)</span>
+
+<span class="kw">interface</span> <span class="key">AsyncPrefetch</span> {
+  <span class="cm">// Fire context + dialectic fetches at turn end. Non-blocking.</span>
+  firePrefetch(sessionId: <span class="str">string</span>, userMessage: <span class="str">string</span>): <span class="kw">void</span>;
+
+  <span class="cm">// Pop cached results at turn start. Returns empty if cache is cold.</span>
+  popContextResult(sessionId: <span class="str">string</span>): ContextResult | <span class="kw">null</span>;

+  summary?: <span class="str">string</span>;            <span class="cm">// conversation summary if fetched</span>
+};</code></pre>
+
+  <h3>Implementation notes</h3>
+  <ul>
+    <li>Python: <code>threading.Thread(daemon=True)</code>. Write to <code>dict[session_id, result]</code> — GIL makes this safe for simple writes.</li>
+    <li>TypeScript: <code>Promise</code> stored in <code>Map&lt;string, Promise&lt;ContextResult&gt;&gt;</code>. Await at pop time. If not resolved yet, skip (return null) — do not block.</li>
+    <li>The pop is destructive: clears the cache entry after reading so stale data never accumulates.</li>
+    <li>Prefetch should also fire on first turn (even though it won't be consumed until turn 2) — this ensures turn 2 is never cold.</li>
+  </ul>
+
+  <h3>openclaw-honcho adoption</h3>
+  <p>Move <code>session.context()</code> from <code>before_prompt_build</code> to a post-<code>agent_end</code> background task. Store result in <code>state.contextCache</code>. In <code>before_prompt_build</code>, read from cache instead of calling Honcho. If cache is empty (turn 1), inject nothing — the prompt is still valid without Honcho context on the first turn.</p>
+</section>
+
+<!-- SPEC: DYNAMIC REASONING LEVEL -->
+<section id="spec-reasoning">
+  <h2>Spec: dynamic reasoning level</h2>
+
+  <h3>Problem</h3>
+  <p>Honcho's dialectic endpoint supports reasoning levels from <code>minimal</code> to <code>max</code>. A fixed level per tool wastes budget on simple queries and under-serves complex ones.</p>
+
+  <h3>Pattern</h3>
+  <p>Select the reasoning level dynamically based on the user's message. Use the configured default as a floor. Bump by message length. Cap auto-selection at <code>high</code> — never select <code>max</code> automatically.</p>
+
+  <h3>Interface contract</h3>
+  <pre><code><span class="cm">// Shared helper — identical logic in any language</span>
+
+<span class="kw">const</span> LEVELS = [<span class="str">"minimal"</span>, <span class="str">"low"</span>, <span class="str">"medium"</span>, <span class="str">"high"</span>, <span class="str">"max"</span>];

+}</code></pre>
+
+  <h3>Config key</h3>
+  <p>Add a <code>dialecticReasoningLevel</code> config field (string, default <code>"low"</code>). This sets the floor. Users can raise or lower it. The dynamic bump always applies on top.</p>
+
+  <h3>openclaw-honcho adoption</h3>
+  <p>Apply in <code>honcho_recall</code> and <code>honcho_analyze</code>: replace the fixed <code>reasoningLevel</code> with the dynamic selector. <code>honcho_recall</code> should use floor <code>"minimal"</code> and <code>honcho_analyze</code> floor <code>"medium"</code> — both still bump with message length.</p>
+</section>
+
+<!-- SPEC: PER-PEER MEMORY MODES -->
+<section id="spec-modes">
+  <h2>Spec: per-peer memory modes</h2>
+
+  <h3>Problem</h3>
+  <p>Users want independent control over whether user context and agent context are written locally, to Honcho, or both. A single <code>memoryMode</code> shorthand is not granular enough.</p>
+
+  <h3>Pattern</h3>
+  <p>Three modes per peer: <code>hybrid</code> (write both local + Honcho), <code>honcho</code> (Honcho only, disable local files), <code>local</code> (local files only, skip Honcho sync for this peer). Two orthogonal axes: user peer and agent peer.</p>
+
+  <h3>Config schema</h3>

+    }
+  }
+}</code></pre>
+
+  <h3>Resolution order</h3>
+  <ol>
+    <li>Per-peer field (<code>userMemoryMode</code> / <code>agentMemoryMode</code>) — wins if present.</li>
+    <li>Shorthand <code>memoryMode</code> — applies to both peers as default.</li>
+    <li>Hardcoded default: <code>"hybrid"</code>.</li>
+  </ol>
+
+  <h3>Effect on Honcho sync</h3>
+  <ul>
+    <li><code>userMemoryMode=local</code>: skip adding user peer messages to Honcho.</li>

+  <h2>Spec: AI peer identity formation</h2>
+
+  <h3>Problem</h3>
+  <p>Honcho builds the user's representation organically by observing what the user says. The same mechanism exists for the AI peer — but only if <code>observe_me=True</code> is set for the agent peer. Without it, the agent peer accumulates nothing and Honcho's AI-side model never forms.</p>
+
+  <p>Additionally, existing persona files (SOUL.md, IDENTITY.md) should seed the AI peer's Honcho representation at first activation, rather than waiting for it to emerge from scratch.</p>

+# honcho-integration-spec
+
+Comparison of Hermes Agent vs. openclaw-honcho — and a porting spec for bringing Hermes patterns into other Honcho integrations.
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+Two independent Honcho integrations have been built for two different agent runtimes: **Hermes Agent** (Python, baked into the runner) and **openclaw-honcho** (TypeScript plugin via hook/tool API). Both use the same Honcho peer paradigm — dual peer model, `session.context()`, `peer.chat()` — but they made different tradeoffs at every layer.
+
+This document maps those tradeoffs and defines a porting spec: a set of Hermes-originated patterns, each stated as an integration-agnostic interface, that any Honcho integration can adopt regardless of runtime or language.
+
+> **Scope** Both integrations work correctly today. This spec is about the delta — patterns in Hermes that are worth propagating and patterns in openclaw-honcho that Hermes should eventually adopt. The spec is additive, not prescriptive.
+
+---
+
+## Architecture comparison
+
+### Hermes: baked-in runner
+
+Honcho is initialised directly inside `AIAgent.__init__`. There is no plugin boundary. Session management, context injection, async prefetch, and CLI surface are all first-class concerns of the runner. Context is injected once per session (baked into `_cached_system_prompt`) and never re-fetched mid-session — this maximises prefix cache hits at the LLM provider.
+
+Turn flow:
+
+```
+user message
+  → _honcho_prefetch()       (reads cache — no HTTP)
+  → _build_system_prompt()   (first turn only, cached)
+  → LLM call
+  → response
+  → _honcho_fire_prefetch()  (daemon threads, turn end)
+       → prefetch_context() thread  ──┐
+       → prefetch_dialectic() thread ─┴→ _context_cache / _dialectic_cache
+```
+
+### openclaw-honcho: hook-based plugin
+
+The plugin registers hooks against OpenClaw's event bus. Context is fetched synchronously inside `before_prompt_build` on every turn. Message capture happens in `agent_end`. The multi-agent hierarchy is tracked via `subagent_spawned`. This model is correct but every turn pays a blocking Honcho round-trip before the LLM call can begin.
+
+Turn flow:
+
+```
+user message
+  → before_prompt_build (BLOCKING HTTP — every turn)
+       → session.context()
+  → system prompt assembled
+  → LLM call
+  → response
+  → agent_end hook
+       → session.addMessages()
+       → session.setMetadata()
+```
+
+---
+
+## Diff table
+
+| Dimension | Hermes Agent | openclaw-honcho |
+|---|---|---|
+| **Context injection timing** | Once per session (cached). Zero HTTP on response path after turn 1. | Every turn, blocking. Fresh context per turn but adds latency. |
+| **Prefetch strategy** | Daemon threads fire at turn end; consumed next turn from cache. | None. Blocking call at prompt-build time. |
+| **Dialectic (peer.chat)** | Prefetched async; result injected into system prompt next turn. | On-demand via `honcho_recall` / `honcho_analyze` tools. |
+| **Reasoning level** | Dynamic: scales with message length. Floor = config default. Cap = "high". | Fixed per tool: recall=minimal, analyze=medium. |
+| **Memory modes** | `user_memory_mode` / `agent_memory_mode`: hybrid / honcho / local. | None. Always writes to Honcho. |
+| **Write frequency** | async (background queue), turn, session, N turns. | After every agent_end (no control). |
+| **AI peer identity** | `observe_me=True`, `seed_ai_identity()`, `get_ai_representation()`, SOUL.md → AI peer. | Agent files uploaded to agent peer at setup. No ongoing self-observation. |
+| **Context scope** | User peer + AI peer representation, both injected. | User peer (owner) representation + conversation summary. `peerPerspective` on context call. |
+| **Session naming** | per-directory / global / manual map / title-based. | Derived from platform session key. |
+| **Multi-agent** | Single-agent only. | Parent observer hierarchy via `subagent_spawned`. |
+| **Tool surface** | Single `query_user_context` tool (on-demand dialectic). | 6 tools: session, profile, search, context (fast) + recall, analyze (LLM). |
+| **Platform metadata** | Not stripped. | Explicitly stripped before Honcho storage. |
+| **Message dedup** | None. | `lastSavedIndex` in session metadata prevents re-sending. |
+| **CLI surface in prompt** | Management commands injected into system prompt. Agent knows its own CLI. | Not injected. |
+| **AI peer name in identity** | Replaces "Hermes Agent" in DEFAULT_AGENT_IDENTITY when configured. | Not implemented. |
+| **QMD / local file search** | Not implemented. | Passthrough tools when QMD backend configured. |
+| **Workspace metadata** | Not implemented. | `agentPeerMap` in workspace metadata tracks agent→peer ID. |
+
+---
+
+## Patterns
+
+Six patterns from Hermes are worth adopting in any Honcho integration. Each is described as an integration-agnostic interface.
+
+**Hermes contributes:**
+- Async prefetch (zero-latency)
+- Dynamic reasoning level
+- Per-peer memory modes
+- AI peer identity formation
+- Session naming strategies
+- CLI surface injection
+
+**openclaw-honcho contributes back (Hermes should adopt):**
+- `lastSavedIndex` dedup
+- Platform metadata stripping
+- Multi-agent observer hierarchy
+- `peerPerspective` on `context()`
+- Tiered tool surface (fast/LLM)
+- Workspace `agentPeerMap`
+
+---
+
+## Spec: async prefetch
+
+### Problem
+
+Calling `session.context()` and `peer.chat()` synchronously before each LLM call adds 200–800ms of Honcho round-trip latency to every turn.
+
+### Pattern
+
+Fire both calls as non-blocking background work at the **end** of each turn. Store results in a per-session cache keyed by session ID. At the **start** of the next turn, pop from cache — the HTTP is already done. First turn is cold (empty cache); all subsequent turns are zero-latency on the response path.
+
+### Interface contract
+
+```typescript
+interface AsyncPrefetch {
+  // Fire context + dialectic fetches at turn end. Non-blocking.
+  firePrefetch(sessionId: string, userMessage: string): void;
+
+  // Pop cached results at turn start. Returns empty if cache is cold.
+  popContextResult(sessionId: string): ContextResult | null;
+  popDialecticResult(sessionId: string): string | null;
+}
+
+type ContextResult = {
+  representation: string;
+  card: string[];
+  aiRepresentation?: string;  // AI peer context if enabled
+  summary?: string;           // conversation summary if fetched
+};
+```
+
+### Implementation notes
+
+- **Python:** `threading.Thread(daemon=True)`. Write to `dict[session_id, result]` — GIL makes this safe for simple writes.
+- **TypeScript:** `Promise` stored in `Map<string, Promise<ContextResult>>`. Await at pop time. If not resolved yet, return null — do not block.
+- The pop is destructive: clears the cache entry after reading so stale data never accumulates.
+- Prefetch should also fire on first turn (even though it won't be consumed until turn 2).
+
+### openclaw-honcho adoption
+
+Move `session.context()` from `before_prompt_build` to a post-`agent_end` background task. Store result in `state.contextCache`. In `before_prompt_build`, read from cache instead of calling Honcho. If cache is empty (turn 1), inject nothing — the prompt is still valid without Honcho context on the first turn.
+
+---
+
+## Spec: dynamic reasoning level
+
+### Problem
+
+Honcho's dialectic endpoint supports reasoning levels from `minimal` to `max`. A fixed level per tool wastes budget on simple queries and under-serves complex ones.
+
+### Pattern
+
+Select the reasoning level dynamically based on the user's message. Use the configured default as a floor. Bump by message length. Cap auto-selection at `high` — never select `max` automatically.
+
+### Logic
+
+```
+< 120 chars  → default (typically "low")
+120–400 chars → one level above default (cap at "high")
+> 400 chars  → two levels above default (cap at "high")
+```
+
+### Config key
+
+Add `dialecticReasoningLevel` (string, default `"low"`). This sets the floor. The dynamic bump always applies on top.
+
+### openclaw-honcho adoption
+
+Apply in `honcho_recall` and `honcho_analyze`: replace fixed `reasoningLevel` with the dynamic selector. `honcho_recall` uses floor `"minimal"`, `honcho_analyze` uses floor `"medium"` — both still bump with message length.
+
+---
+
+## Spec: per-peer memory modes
+
+### Problem
+
+Users want independent control over whether user context and agent context are written locally, to Honcho, or both.
+
+### Modes
+
+| Mode | Effect |
+|---|---|
+| `hybrid` | Write to both local files and Honcho (default) |
+| `honcho` | Honcho only — disable corresponding local file writes |
+| `local` | Local files only — skip Honcho sync for this peer |
+
+### Config schema
+
+```json
+{
+  "memoryMode": "hybrid",
+  "userMemoryMode": "honcho",
+  "agentMemoryMode": "hybrid"
+}
+```
+
+Resolution order: per-peer field wins → shorthand `memoryMode` → default `"hybrid"`.
+
+### Effect on Honcho sync
+
+- `userMemoryMode=local`: skip adding user peer messages to Honcho
+- `agentMemoryMode=local`: skip adding assistant peer messages to Honcho
+- Both local: skip `session.addMessages()` entirely
+- `userMemoryMode=honcho`: disable local USER.md writes
+- `agentMemoryMode=honcho`: disable local MEMORY.md / SOUL.md writes
+
+---
+
+## Spec: AI peer identity formation
+
+### Problem
+
+Honcho builds the user's representation organically by observing what the user says. The same mechanism exists for the AI peer — but only if `observe_me=True` is set for the agent peer. Without it, the agent peer accumulates nothing.
+
+Additionally, existing persona files (SOUL.md, IDENTITY.md) should seed the AI peer's Honcho representation at first activation.
+
+### Part A: observe_me=True for agent peer
+
+```typescript
+await session.addPeers([
+  [ownerPeer.id, { observeMe: true,  observeOthers: false }],
+  [agentPeer.id, { observeMe: true,  observeOthers: true  }], // was false
+]);
+```
+
+One-line change. Foundational. Without it, the AI peer representation stays empty regardless of what the agent says.
+
+### Part B: seedAiIdentity()
+
+```typescript
+async function seedAiIdentity(
+  agentPeer: Peer,
+  content: string,
+  source: string
+): Promise<boolean> {
+  const wrapped = [
+    `<ai_identity_seed>`,
+    `<source>${source}</source>`,
+    ``,
+    content.trim(),
+    `</ai_identity_seed>`,
+  ].join("\n");
+
+  await agentPeer.addMessage("assistant", wrapped);
+  return true;
+}
+```
+
+### Part C: migrate agent files at setup
+
+During `honcho setup`, upload agent-self files (SOUL.md, IDENTITY.md, AGENTS.md) to the agent peer via `seedAiIdentity()` instead of `session.uploadFile()`. This routes content through Honcho's observation pipeline.
+
+### Part D: AI peer name in identity
+
+When the agent has a configured name, prepend it to the injected system prompt:
+
+```typescript
+const namePrefix = agentName ? `You are ${agentName}.\n\n` : "";
+return { systemPrompt: namePrefix + "## User Memory Context\n\n" + sections };
+```
+
+### CLI surface
+
+```
+honcho identity <file>    # seed from file
+honcho identity --show    # show current AI peer representation
+```
+
+---
+
+## Spec: session naming strategies
+
+### Problem
+
+A single global session means every project shares the same Honcho context. Per-directory sessions provide isolation without requiring users to name sessions manually.
+
+### Strategies
+
+| Strategy | Session key | When to use |
+|---|---|---|
+| `per-directory` | basename of CWD | Default. Each project gets its own session. |
+| `global` | fixed string `"global"` | Single cross-project session. |
+| manual map | user-configured per path | `sessions` config map overrides directory basename. |
+| title-based | sanitized session title | When agent supports named sessions set mid-conversation. |
+
+### Config schema
+
+```json
+{
+  "sessionStrategy": "per-directory",
+  "sessionPeerPrefix": false,
+  "sessions": {
+    "/home/user/projects/foo": "foo-project"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### CLI surface
+
+```
+honcho sessions              # list all mappings
+honcho map <name>            # map cwd to session name
+honcho map                   # no-arg = list mappings
+```
+
+Resolution order: manual map → session title → directory basename → platform key.
+
+---
+
+## Spec: CLI surface injection
+
+### Problem
+
+When a user asks "how do I change my memory settings?" the agent either hallucinates or says it doesn't know. The agent should know its own management interface.
+
+### Pattern
+
+When Honcho is active, append a compact command reference to the system prompt. Keep it under 300 chars.
+
+```
+# Honcho memory integration
+Active. Session: {sessionKey}. Mode: {mode}.
+Management commands:

+## openclaw-honcho checklist
+
+Ordered by impact:
+
+- [ ] **Async prefetch** — move `session.context()` out of `before_prompt_build` into post-`agent_end` background Promise
+- [ ] **observe_me=True for agent peer** — one-line change in `session.addPeers()`
+- [ ] **Dynamic reasoning level** — add helper; apply in `honcho_recall` and `honcho_analyze`; add `dialecticReasoningLevel` to config
+- [ ] **Per-peer memory modes** — add `userMemoryMode` / `agentMemoryMode` to config; gate Honcho sync and local writes
+- [ ] **seedAiIdentity()** — add helper; use during setup migration for SOUL.md / IDENTITY.md
+- [ ] **Session naming strategies** — add `sessionStrategy`, `sessions` map, `sessionPeerPrefix`
+- [ ] **CLI surface injection** — append command reference to `before_prompt_build` return value
+- [ ] **honcho identity subcommand** — seed from file or `--show` current representation
+- [ ] **AI peer name injection** — if `aiPeer` name configured, prepend to injected system prompt
+- [ ] **honcho mode / sessions / map** — CLI parity with Hermes
+
+Already done in openclaw-honcho (do not re-implement): `lastSavedIndex` dedup, platform metadata stripping, multi-agent parent observer, `peerPerspective` on `context()`, tiered tool surface, workspace `agentPeerMap`, QMD passthrough, self-hosted Honcho.

+
+## nanobot-honcho checklist
+
+Greenfield integration. Start from openclaw-honcho's architecture and apply all Hermes patterns from day one.
+
+### Phase 1 — core correctness
+
+- [ ] Dual peer model (owner + agent peer), both with `observe_me=True`
+- [ ] Message capture at turn end with `lastSavedIndex` dedup
+- [ ] Platform metadata stripping before Honcho storage
+- [ ] Async prefetch from day one — do not implement blocking context injection
+- [ ] Legacy file migration at first activation (USER.md → owner peer, SOUL.md → `seedAiIdentity()`)
+
+### Phase 2 — configuration
+
+- [ ] Config schema: `apiKey`, `workspaceId`, `baseUrl`, `memoryMode`, `userMemoryMode`, `agentMemoryMode`, `dialecticReasoningLevel`, `sessionStrategy`, `sessions`
+- [ ] Per-peer memory mode gating
+- [ ] Dynamic reasoning level
+- [ ] Session naming strategies
+
+### Phase 3 — tools and CLI
+
+- [ ] Tool surface: `honcho_profile`, `honcho_recall`, `honcho_analyze`, `honcho_search`, `honcho_context`
+- [ ] CLI: `setup`, `status`, `sessions`, `map`, `mode`, `identity`
+- [ ] CLI surface injection into system prompt
+- [ ] AI peer name wired into agent identity

+# Migrating from OpenClaw to Hermes Agent
+
+This guide covers how to import your OpenClaw settings, memories, skills, and API keys into Hermes Agent.
+
+## Three Ways to Migrate
+
+### 1. Automatic (during first-time setup)
+
+When you run `hermes setup` for the first time and Hermes detects `~/.openclaw`, it automatically offers to import your OpenClaw data before configuration begins. Just accept the prompt and everything is handled for you.
+
+### 2. CLI Command (quick, scriptable)
+
+```bash
+hermes claw migrate                      # Preview then migrate (always shows preview first)
+hermes claw migrate --dry-run            # Preview only, no changes
+hermes claw migrate --preset user-data   # Migrate without API keys/secrets
+hermes claw migrate --yes                # Skip confirmation prompt
+```
+
+The migration always shows a full preview of what will be imported before making any changes. You review the preview and confirm before anything is written.
+
+**All options:**
+
+| Flag | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `--source PATH` | Path to OpenClaw directory (default: `~/.openclaw`) |
+| `--dry-run` | Preview only — no files are modified |
+| `--preset {user-data,full}` | Migration preset (default: `full`). `user-data` excludes secrets |
+| `--overwrite` | Overwrite existing files (default: skip conflicts) |
+| `--migrate-secrets` | Include allowlisted secrets (auto-enabled with `full` preset) |
+| `--workspace-target PATH` | Copy workspace instructions (AGENTS.md) to this absolute path |
+| `--skill-conflict {skip,overwrite,rename}` | How to handle skill name conflicts (default: `skip`) |
+| `--yes`, `-y` | Skip confirmation prompts |
+
+### 3. Agent-Guided (interactive, with previews)
+
+Ask the agent to run the migration for you:
+
+```
+> Migrate my OpenClaw setup to Hermes
+```
+
+The agent will use the `openclaw-migration` skill to:
+1. Run a preview first to show what would change
+2. Ask about conflict resolution (SOUL.md, skills, etc.)
+3. Let you choose between `user-data` and `full` presets
+4. Execute the migration with your choices
+5. Print a detailed summary of what was migrated
+
+## What Gets Migrated
+
+### `user-data` preset
+| Item | Source | Destination |
+|------|--------|-------------|
+| SOUL.md | `~/.openclaw/workspace/SOUL.md` | `~/.hermes/SOUL.md` |
+| Memory entries | `~/.openclaw/workspace/MEMORY.md` | `~/.hermes/memories/MEMORY.md` |
+| User profile | `~/.openclaw/workspace/USER.md` | `~/.hermes/memories/USER.md` |
+| Skills | `~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/` | `~/.hermes/skills/openclaw-imports/` |
+| Command allowlist | `~/.openclaw/workspace/exec_approval_patterns.yaml` | Merged into `~/.hermes/config.yaml` |
+| Messaging settings | `~/.openclaw/config.yaml` (TELEGRAM_ALLOWED_USERS, MESSAGING_CWD) | `~/.hermes/.env` |
+| TTS assets | `~/.openclaw/workspace/tts/` | `~/.hermes/tts/` |
+
+Workspace files are also checked at `workspace.default/` and `workspace-main/` as fallback paths (OpenClaw renamed `workspace/` to `workspace-main/` in recent versions).
+
+### `full` preset (adds to `user-data`)
+| Item | Source | Destination |
+|------|--------|-------------|
+| Telegram bot token | `openclaw.json` channels config | `~/.hermes/.env` |
+| OpenRouter API key | `.env`, `openclaw.json`, or `openclaw.json["env"]` | `~/.hermes/.env` |
+| OpenAI API key | `.env`, `openclaw.json`, or `openclaw.json["env"]` | `~/.hermes/.env` |
+| Anthropic API key | `.env`, `openclaw.json`, or `openclaw.json["env"]` | `~/.hermes/.env` |
+| ElevenLabs API key | `.env`, `openclaw.json`, or `openclaw.json["env"]` | `~/.hermes/.env` |
+
+API keys are searched across four sources: inline config values, `~/.openclaw/.env`, the `openclaw.json` `"env"` sub-object, and per-agent auth profiles.
+
+Only allowlisted secrets are ever imported. Other credentials are skipped and reported.
+
+## OpenClaw Schema Compatibility
+
+The migration handles both old and current OpenClaw config layouts:
+
+- **Channel tokens**: Reads from flat paths (`channels.telegram.botToken`) and the newer `accounts.default` layout (`channels.telegram.accounts.default.botToken`)
+- **TTS provider**: OpenClaw renamed "edge" to "microsoft" — both are recognized and mapped to Hermes' "edge"
+- **Provider API types**: Both short (`openai`, `anthropic`) and hyphenated (`openai-completions`, `anthropic-messages`, `google-generative-ai`) values are mapped correctly
+- **thinkingDefault**: All enum values are handled including newer ones (`minimal`, `xhigh`, `adaptive`)
+- **Matrix**: Uses `accessToken` field (not `botToken`)
+- **SecretRef formats**: Plain strings, env templates (`${VAR}`), and `source: "env"` SecretRefs are resolved. `source: "file"` and `source: "exec"` SecretRefs produce a warning — add those keys manually after migration.
+
+## Conflict Handling
+
+By default, the migration **will not overwrite** existing Hermes data:
+
+- **SOUL.md** — skipped if one already exists in `~/.hermes/`
+- **Memory entries** — skipped if memories already exist (to avoid duplicates)
+- **Skills** — skipped if a skill with the same name already exists
+- **API keys** — skipped if the key is already set in `~/.hermes/.env`
+
+To overwrite conflicts, use `--overwrite`. The migration creates backups before overwriting.
+
+For skills, you can also use `--skill-conflict rename` to import conflicting skills under a new name (e.g., `skill-name-imported`).
+
+## Migration Report
+
+Every migration produces a report showing:
+- **Migrated items** — what was successfully imported
+- **Conflicts** — items skipped because they already exist
+- **Skipped items** — items not found in the source
+- **Errors** — items that failed to import
+
+For executed migrations, the full report is saved to `~/.hermes/migration/openclaw/<timestamp>/`.
+
+## Post-Migration Notes
+
+- **Skills require a new session** — imported skills take effect after restarting your agent or starting a new chat.
+- **WhatsApp requires re-pairing** — WhatsApp uses QR-code pairing, not token-based auth. Run `hermes whatsapp` to pair.
+- **Archive cleanup** — after migration, you'll be offered to rename `~/.openclaw/` to `.openclaw.pre-migration/` to prevent state confusion. You can also run `hermes claw cleanup` later.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### "OpenClaw directory not found"
+The migration looks for `~/.openclaw` by default, then tries `~/.clawdbot` and `~/.moltbot`. If your OpenClaw is installed elsewhere, use `--source`:
+```bash
+hermes claw migrate --source /path/to/.openclaw
+```
+
+### "Migration script not found"
+The migration script ships with Hermes Agent. If you installed via pip (not git clone), the `optional-skills/` directory may not be present. Install the skill from the Skills Hub:
+```bash
+hermes skills install openclaw-migration
+```
+
+### Memory overflow
+If your OpenClaw MEMORY.md or USER.md exceeds Hermes' character limits, excess entries are exported to an overflow file in the migration report directory. You can manually review and add the most important ones.
+
+### API keys not found
+Keys might be stored in different places depending on your OpenClaw setup:
+- `~/.openclaw/.env` file
+- Inline in `openclaw.json` under `models.providers.*.apiKey`
+- In `openclaw.json` under the `"env"` or `"env.vars"` sub-objects
+- In `~/.openclaw/agents/main/agent/auth-profiles.json`
+
+The migration checks all four. If keys use `source: "file"` or `source: "exec"` SecretRefs, they can't be resolved automatically — add them via `hermes config set`.

+# Pricing Accuracy Architecture
+
+Date: 2026-03-16
+
+## Goal
+
+Hermes should only show dollar costs when they are backed by an official source for the user's actual billing path.
+
+This design replaces the current static, heuristic pricing flow in:
+
+- `run_agent.py`
+- `agent/usage_pricing.py`
+- `agent/insights.py`
+- `cli.py`
+
+with a provider-aware pricing system that:
+
+- handles cache billing correctly
+- distinguishes `actual` vs `estimated` vs `included` vs `unknown`
+- reconciles post-hoc costs when providers expose authoritative billing data
+- supports direct providers, OpenRouter, subscriptions, enterprise pricing, and custom endpoints
+
+## Problems In The Current Design
+
+Current Hermes behavior has four structural issues:
+
+1. It stores only `prompt_tokens` and `completion_tokens`, which is insufficient for providers that bill cache reads and cache writes separately.
+2. It uses a static model price table and fuzzy heuristics, which can drift from current official pricing.
+3. It assumes public API list pricing matches the user's real billing path.
+4. It has no distinction between live estimates and reconciled billed cost.
+
+## Design Principles
+
+1. Normalize usage before pricing.
+2. Never fold cached tokens into plain input cost.
+3. Track certainty explicitly.
+4. Treat the billing path as part of the model identity.
+5. Prefer official machine-readable sources over scraped docs.
+6. Use post-hoc provider cost APIs when available.
+7. Show `n/a` rather than inventing precision.
+
+## High-Level Architecture
+
+The new system has four layers:
+
+1. `usage_normalization`
+   Converts raw provider usage into a canonical usage record.
+2. `pricing_source_resolution`
+   Determines the billing path, source of truth, and applicable pricing source.
+3. `cost_estimation_and_reconciliation`
+   Produces an immediate estimate when possible, then replaces or annotates it with actual billed cost later.
+4. `presentation`
+   `/usage`, `/insights`, and the status bar display cost with certainty metadata.
+
+## Canonical Usage Record
+
+Add a canonical usage model that every provider path maps into before any pricing math happens.
+
+Suggested structure:
+
+```python
+@dataclass
+class CanonicalUsage:
+    provider: str
+    billing_provider: str
+    model: str
+    billing_route: str
+
+    input_tokens: int = 0
+    output_tokens: int = 0
+    cache_read_tokens: int = 0
+    cache_write_tokens: int = 0
+    reasoning_tokens: int = 0
+    request_count: int = 1
+
+    raw_usage: dict[str, Any] | None = None
+    raw_usage_fields: dict[str, str] | None = None
+    computed_fields: set[str] | None = None
+
+    provider_request_id: str | None = None
+    provider_generation_id: str | None = None
+    provider_response_id: str | None = None
+```
+
+Rules:
+
+- `input_tokens` means non-cached input only.
+- `cache_read_tokens` and `cache_write_tokens` are never merged into `input_tokens`.
+- `output_tokens` excludes cache metrics.
+- `reasoning_tokens` is telemetry unless a provider officially bills it separately.
+
+This is the same normalization pattern used by `opencode`, extended with provenance and reconciliation ids.
+
+## Provider Normalization Rules
+
+### OpenAI Direct
+
+Source usage fields:
+
+- `prompt_tokens`
+- `completion_tokens`
+- `prompt_tokens_details.cached_tokens`
+
+Normalization:
+
+- `cache_read_tokens = cached_tokens`
+- `input_tokens = prompt_tokens - cached_tokens`
+- `cache_write_tokens = 0` unless OpenAI exposes it in the relevant route
+- `output_tokens = completion_tokens`
+
+### Anthropic Direct
+
+Source usage fields:
+
+- `input_tokens`
+- `output_tokens`
+- `cache_read_input_tokens`
+- `cache_creation_input_tokens`
+
+Normalization:
+
+- `input_tokens = input_tokens`
+- `output_tokens = output_tokens`
+- `cache_read_tokens = cache_read_input_tokens`
+- `cache_write_tokens = cache_creation_input_tokens`
+
+### OpenRouter
+
+Estimate-time usage normalization should use the response usage payload with the same rules as the underlying provider when possible.
+
+Reconciliation-time records should also store:
+
+- OpenRouter generation id
+- native token fields when available
+- `total_cost`
+- `cache_discount`
+- `upstream_inference_cost`
+- `is_byok`
+
+### Gemini / Vertex
+
+Use official Gemini or Vertex usage fields where available.
+
+If cached content tokens are exposed:
+
+- map them to `cache_read_tokens`
+
+If a route exposes no cache creation metric:
+
+- store `cache_write_tokens = 0`
+- preserve the raw usage payload for later extension
+
+### DeepSeek And Other Direct Providers
+
+Normalize only the fields that are officially exposed.
+
+If a provider does not expose cache buckets:
+
+- do not infer them unless the provider explicitly documents how to derive them
+
+### Subscription / Included-Cost Routes
+
+These still use the canonical usage model.
+
+Tokens are tracked normally. Cost depends on billing mode, not on whether usage exists.
+
+## Billing Route Model
+
+Hermes must stop keying pricing solely by `model`.
+
+Introduce a billing route descriptor:
+
+```python
+@dataclass
+class BillingRoute:
+    provider: str
+    base_url: str | None
+    model: str
+    billing_mode: str
+    organization_hint: str | None = None
+```
+
+`billing_mode` values:
+
+- `official_cost_api`
+- `official_generation_api`
+- `official_models_api`
+- `official_docs_snapshot`
+- `subscription_included`
+- `user_override`
+- `custom_contract`
+- `unknown`
+
+Examples:
+
+- OpenAI direct API with Costs API access: `official_cost_api`
+- Anthropic direct API with Usage & Cost API access: `official_cost_api`
+- OpenRouter request before reconciliation: `official_models_api`
+- OpenRouter request after generation lookup: `official_generation_api`
+- GitHub Copilot style subscription route: `subscription_included`
+- local OpenAI-compatible server: `unknown`
+- enterprise contract with configured rates: `custom_contract`
+
+## Cost Status Model
+
+Every displayed cost should have:
+
+```python
+@dataclass
+class CostResult:
+    amount_usd: Decimal | None
+    status: Literal["actual", "estimated", "included", "unknown"]
+    source: Literal[
+        "provider_cost_api",
+        "provider_generation_api",
+        "provider_models_api",
+        "official_docs_snapshot",
+        "user_override",
+        "custom_contract",
+        "none",
+    ]
+    label: str
+    fetched_at: datetime | None
+    pricing_version: str | None
+    notes: list[str]
+```
+
+Presentation rules:
+
+- `actual`: show dollar amount as final
+- `estimated`: show dollar amount with estimate labeling
+- `included`: show `included` or `$0.00 (included)` depending on UX choice
+- `unknown`: show `n/a`
+
+## Official Source Hierarchy
+
+Resolve cost using this order:
+
+1. Request-level or account-level official billed cost
+2. Official machine-readable model pricing
+3. Official docs snapshot
+4. User override or custom contract
+5. Unknown
+
+The system must never skip to a lower level if a higher-confidence source exists for the current billing route.
+
+## Provider-Specific Truth Rules
+
+### OpenAI Direct
+
+Preferred truth:
+
+1. Costs API for reconciled spend
+2. Official pricing page for live estimate
+
+### Anthropic Direct
+
+Preferred truth:
+
+1. Usage & Cost API for reconciled spend
+2. Official pricing docs for live estimate
+
+### OpenRouter
+
+Preferred truth:
+
+1. `GET /api/v1/generation` for reconciled `total_cost`
+2. `GET /api/v1/models` pricing for live estimate
+
+Do not use underlying provider public pricing as the source of truth for OpenRouter billing.
+
+### Gemini / Vertex
+
+Preferred truth:
+
+1. official billing export or billing API for reconciled spend when available for the route
+2. official pricing docs for estimate
+
+### DeepSeek
+
+Preferred truth:
+
+1. official machine-readable cost source if available in the future
+2. official pricing docs snapshot today
+
+### Subscription-Included Routes
+
+Preferred truth:
+
+1. explicit route config marking the model as included in subscription
+
+These should display `included`, not an API list-price estimate.
+
+### Custom Endpoint / Local Model
+
+Preferred truth:
+
+1. user override
+2. custom contract config
+3. unknown
+
+These should default to `unknown`.
+
+## Pricing Catalog
+
+Replace the current `MODEL_PRICING` dict with a richer pricing catalog.
+
+Suggested record:
+
+```python
+@dataclass
+class PricingEntry:
+    provider: str
+    route_pattern: str
+    model_pattern: str
+
+    input_cost_per_million: Decimal | None = None
+    output_cost_per_million: Decimal | None = None
+    cache_read_cost_per_million: Decimal | None = None
+    cache_write_cost_per_million: Decimal | None = None
+    request_cost: Decimal | None = None
+    image_cost: Decimal | None = None
+
+    source: str = "official_docs_snapshot"
+    source_url: str | None = None
+    fetched_at: datetime | None = None
+    pricing_version: str | None = None
+```
+
+The catalog should be route-aware:
+
+- `openai:gpt-5`
+- `anthropic:claude-opus-4-6`
+- `openrouter:anthropic/claude-opus-4.6`
+- `copilot:gpt-4o`
+
+This avoids conflating direct-provider billing with aggregator billing.
+
+## Pricing Sync Architecture
+
+Introduce a pricing sync subsystem instead of manually maintaining a single hardcoded table.
+
+Suggested modules:
+
+- `agent/pricing/catalog.py`
+- `agent/pricing/sources.py`
+- `agent/pricing/sync.py`
+- `agent/pricing/reconcile.py`
+- `agent/pricing/types.py`
+
+### Sync Sources
+
+- OpenRouter models API
+- official provider docs snapshots where no API exists
+- user overrides from config
+
+### Sync Output
+
+Cache pricing entries locally with:
+
+- source URL
+- fetch timestamp
+- version/hash
+- confidence/source type
+
+### Sync Frequency
+
+- startup warm cache
+- background refresh every 6 to 24 hours depending on source
+- manual `hermes pricing sync`
+
+## Reconciliation Architecture
+
+Live requests may produce only an estimate initially. Hermes should reconcile them later when a provider exposes actual billed cost.
+
+Suggested flow:
+
+1. Agent call completes.
+2. Hermes stores canonical usage plus reconciliation ids.
+3. Hermes computes an immediate estimate if a pricing source exists.
+4. A reconciliation worker fetches actual cost when supported.
+5. Session and message records are updated with `actual` cost.
+
+This can run:
+
+- inline for cheap lookups
+- asynchronously for delayed provider accounting
+
+## Persistence Changes
+
+Session storage should stop storing only aggregate prompt/completion totals.
+
+Add fields for both usage and cost certainty:
+
+- `input_tokens`
+- `output_tokens`
+- `cache_read_tokens`
+- `cache_write_tokens`
+- `reasoning_tokens`
+- `estimated_cost_usd`
+- `actual_cost_usd`
+- `cost_status`
+- `cost_source`
+- `pricing_version`
+- `billing_provider`
+- `billing_mode`
+
+If schema expansion is too large for one PR, add a new pricing events table:
+
+```text
+session_cost_events
+  id
+  session_id
+  request_id
+  provider
+  model
+  billing_mode
+  input_tokens
+  output_tokens
+  cache_read_tokens
+  cache_write_tokens
+  estimated_cost_usd
+  actual_cost_usd
+  cost_status
+  cost_source
+  pricing_version
+  created_at
+  updated_at
+```
+
+## Hermes Touchpoints
+
+### `run_agent.py`
+
+Current responsibility:
+
+- parse raw provider usage
+- update session token counters
+
+New responsibility:
+
+- build `CanonicalUsage`
+- update canonical counters
+- store reconciliation ids
+- emit usage event to pricing subsystem
+
+### `agent/usage_pricing.py`
+
+Current responsibility:
+
+- static lookup table
+- direct cost arithmetic
+
+New responsibility:
+
+- move or replace with pricing catalog facade
+- no fuzzy model-family heuristics
+- no direct pricing without billing-route context
+
+### `cli.py`
+
+Current responsibility:
+
+- compute session cost directly from prompt/completion totals
+
+New responsibility:
+
+- display `CostResult`
+- show status badges:
+  - `actual`
+  - `estimated`
+  - `included`
+  - `n/a`
+
+### `agent/insights.py`
+
+Current responsibility:
+
+- recompute historical estimates from static pricing
+
+New responsibility:
+
+- aggregate stored pricing events
+- prefer actual cost over estimate
+- surface estimates only when reconciliation is unavailable
+
+## UX Rules
+
+### Status Bar
+
+Show one of:
+
+- `$1.42`
+- `~$1.42`
+- `included`
+- `cost n/a`
+
+Where:
+
+- `$1.42` means `actual`
+- `~$1.42` means `estimated`
+- `included` means subscription-backed or explicitly zero-cost route
+- `cost n/a` means unknown
+
+### `/usage`
+
+Show:
+
+- token buckets
+- estimated cost
+- actual cost if available
+- cost status
+- pricing source
+
+### `/insights`
+
+Aggregate:
+
+- actual cost totals
+- estimated-only totals
+- unknown-cost sessions count
+- included-cost sessions count
+
+## Config And Overrides
+
+Add user-configurable pricing overrides in config:
+
+```yaml
+pricing:
+  mode: hybrid
+  sync_on_startup: true
+  sync_interval_hours: 12
+  overrides:
+    - provider: openrouter
+      model: anthropic/claude-opus-4.6
+      billing_mode: custom_contract
+      input_cost_per_million: 4.25
+      output_cost_per_million: 22.0
+      cache_read_cost_per_million: 0.5
+      cache_write_cost_per_million: 6.0
+  included_routes:
+    - provider: copilot
+      model: "*"
+    - provider: codex-subscription
+      model: "*"
+```
+
+Overrides must win over catalog defaults for the matching billing route.
+
+## Rollout Plan
+
+### Phase 1
+
+- add canonical usage model
+- split cache token buckets in `run_agent.py`
+- stop pricing cache-inflated prompt totals
+- preserve current UI with improved backend math
+
+### Phase 2
+
+- add route-aware pricing catalog
+- integrate OpenRouter models API sync
+- add `estimated` vs `included` vs `unknown`
+
+### Phase 3
+
+- add reconciliation for OpenRouter generation cost
+- add actual cost persistence
+- update `/insights` to prefer actual cost
+
+### Phase 4
+
+- add direct OpenAI and Anthropic reconciliation paths
+- add user overrides and contract pricing
+- add pricing sync CLI command
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+Add tests for:
+
+- OpenAI cached token subtraction
+- Anthropic cache read/write separation
+- OpenRouter estimated vs actual reconciliation
+- subscription-backed models showing `included`
+- custom endpoints showing `n/a`
+- override precedence
+- stale catalog fallback behavior
+
+Current tests that assume heuristic pricing should be replaced with route-aware expectations.
+
+## Non-Goals
+
+- exact enterprise billing reconstruction without an official source or user override
+- backfilling perfect historical cost for old sessions that lack cache bucket data
+- scraping arbitrary provider web pages at request time
+
+## Recommendation
+
+Do not expand the existing `MODEL_PRICING` dict.
+
+That path cannot satisfy the product requirement. Hermes should instead migrate to:
+
+- canonical usage normalization
+- route-aware pricing sources
+- estimate-then-reconcile cost lifecycle
+- explicit certainty states in the UI
+
+This is the minimum architecture that makes the statement "Hermes pricing is backed by official sources where possible, and otherwise clearly labeled" defensible.

+# Container-Aware CLI Review Fixes Spec
+
+**PR:** NousResearch/hermes-agent#7543
+**Review:** cursor[bot] bugbot review (4094049442) + two prior rounds
+**Date:** 2026-04-12
+**Branch:** `feat/container-aware-cli-clean`
+
+## Review Issues Summary
+
+Six issues were raised across three bugbot review rounds. Three were fixed in intermediate commits (38277a6a, 726cf90f). This spec addresses remaining design concerns surfaced by those reviews and simplifies the implementation based on interview decisions.
+
+| # | Issue | Severity | Status |
+|---|-------|----------|--------|
+| 1 | `os.execvp` retry loop unreachable | Medium | Fixed in 79e8cd12 (switched to subprocess.run) |
+| 2 | Redundant `shutil.which("sudo")` | Medium | Fixed in 38277a6a (reuses `sudo` var) |
+| 3 | Missing `chown -h` on symlink update | Low | Fixed in 38277a6a |
+| 4 | Container routing after `parse_args()` | High | Fixed in 726cf90f |
+| 5 | Hardcoded `/home/${user}` | Medium | Fixed in 726cf90f |
+| 6 | Group membership not gated on `container.enable` | Low | Fixed in 726cf90f |
+
+The mechanical fixes are in place but the overall design needs revision. The retry loop, error swallowing, and process model have deeper issues than what the bugbot flagged.
+
+---
+
+## Spec: Revised `_exec_in_container`
+
+### Design Principles
+
+1. **Let it crash.** No silent fallbacks. If `.container-mode` exists but something goes wrong, the error propagates naturally (Python traceback). The only case where container routing is skipped is when `.container-mode` doesn't exist or `HERMES_DEV=1`.
+2. **No retries.** Probe once for sudo, exec once. If it fails, docker/podman's stderr reaches the user verbatim.
+3. **Completely transparent.** No error wrapping, no prefixes, no spinners. Docker's output goes straight through.
+4. **`os.execvp` on the happy path.** Replace the Python process entirely so there's no idle parent during interactive sessions. Note: `execvp` never returns on success (process is replaced) and raises `OSError` on failure (it does not return a value). The container process's exit code becomes the process exit code by definition — no explicit propagation needed.
+5. **One human-readable exception to "let it crash".** `subprocess.TimeoutExpired` from the sudo probe gets a specific catch with a readable message, since a raw traceback for "your Docker daemon is slow" is confusing. All other exceptions propagate naturally.
+
+### Execution Flow
+
+```
+1. get_container_exec_info()
+   - HERMES_DEV=1 → return None (skip routing)
+   - Inside container → return None (skip routing)
+   - .container-mode doesn't exist → return None (skip routing)
+   - .container-mode exists → parse and return dict
+   - .container-mode exists but malformed/unreadable → LET IT CRASH (no try/except)
+
+2. _exec_in_container(container_info, sys.argv[1:])
+   a. shutil.which(backend) → if None, print "{backend} not found on PATH" and sys.exit(1)
+   b. Sudo probe: subprocess.run([runtime, "inspect", "--format", "ok", container_name], timeout=15)
+      - If succeeds → needs_sudo = False
+      - If fails → try subprocess.run([sudo, "-n", runtime, "inspect", ...], timeout=15)
+        - If succeeds → needs_sudo = True
+        - If fails → print error with sudoers hint (including why -n is required) and sys.exit(1)
+      - If TimeoutExpired → catch specifically, print human-readable message about slow daemon
+   c. Build exec_cmd: [sudo? + runtime, "exec", tty_flags, "-u", exec_user, env_flags, container, hermes_bin, *cli_args]
+   d. os.execvp(exec_cmd[0], exec_cmd)
+      - On success: process is replaced — Python is gone, container exit code IS the process exit code
+      - On OSError: let it crash (natural traceback)
+```
+
+### Changes to `hermes_cli/main.py`
+
+#### `_exec_in_container` — rewrite
+
+Remove:
+- The entire retry loop (`max_retries`, `for attempt in range(...)`)
+- Spinner logic (`"Waiting for container..."`, dots)
+- Exit code classification (125/126/127 handling)
+- `subprocess.run` for the exec call (keep it only for the sudo probe)
+- Special TTY vs non-TTY retry counts
+- The `time` import (no longer needed)
+
+Change:
+- Use `os.execvp(exec_cmd[0], exec_cmd)` as the final call
+- Keep the `subprocess` import only for the sudo probe
+- Keep TTY detection for the `-it` vs `-i` flag
+- Keep env var forwarding (TERM, COLORTERM, LANG, LC_ALL)
+- Keep the sudo probe as-is (it's the one "smart" part)
+- Bump probe `timeout` from 5s to 15s — cold podman on a loaded machine needs headroom
+- Catch `subprocess.TimeoutExpired` specifically on both probe calls — print a readable message about the daemon being unresponsive instead of a raw traceback
+- Expand the sudoers hint error message to explain *why* `-n` (non-interactive) is required: a password prompt would hang the CLI or break piped commands
+
+The function becomes roughly:
+
+```python
+def _exec_in_container(container_info: dict, cli_args: list):
+    """Replace the current process with a command inside the managed container.
+
+    Probes whether sudo is needed (rootful containers), then os.execvp
+    into the container. If exec fails, the OS error propagates naturally.

+
+    # execvp replaces this process entirely — it never returns on success.
+    # On failure it raises OSError, which propagates naturally.
+    os.execvp(exec_cmd[0], exec_cmd)
+```
+
+#### Container routing call site in `main()` — remove try/except
+
+Current:
+```python
+try:
+    from hermes_cli.config import get_container_exec_info
+    container_info = get_container_exec_info()
+    if container_info:
+        _exec_in_container(container_info, sys.argv[1:])
+        sys.exit(1)  # exec failed if we reach here
+except SystemExit:
+    raise
+except Exception:
+    pass  # Container routing unavailable, proceed locally
+```
+
+Revised:
+```python
+from hermes_cli.config import get_container_exec_info
+container_info = get_container_exec_info()
+if container_info:
+    _exec_in_container(container_info, sys.argv[1:])
+    # Unreachable: os.execvp never returns on success (process is replaced)
+    # and raises OSError on failure (which propagates as a traceback).
+    # This line exists only as a defensive assertion.
+    sys.exit(1)
+```
+
+No try/except. If `.container-mode` doesn't exist, `get_container_exec_info()` returns `None` and we skip routing. If it exists but is broken, the exception propagates with a natural traceback.
+
+Note: `sys.exit(1)` after `_exec_in_container` is dead code in all paths — `os.execvp` either replaces the process or raises. It's kept as a belt-and-suspenders assertion with a comment marking it unreachable, not as actual error handling.
+
+### Changes to `hermes_cli/config.py`
+
+#### `get_container_exec_info` — remove inner try/except
+
+Current code catches `(OSError, IOError)` and returns `None`. This silently hides permission errors, corrupt files, etc.
+
+Change: Remove the try/except around file reading. Keep the early returns for `HERMES_DEV=1` and `_is_inside_container()`. The `FileNotFoundError` from `open()` when `.container-mode` doesn't exist should still return `None` (this is the "container mode not enabled" case). All other exceptions propagate.
+
+```python
+def get_container_exec_info() -> Optional[dict]:
+    if os.environ.get("HERMES_DEV") == "1":
+        return None
+    if _is_inside_container():
+        return None
+
+    container_mode_file = get_hermes_home() / ".container-mode"
+
+    try:
+        with open(container_mode_file, "r") as f:
+            # ... parse key=value lines ...
+    except FileNotFoundError:
+        return None
+    # All other exceptions (PermissionError, malformed data, etc.) propagate
+
+    return { ... }
+```
+

+
+## Spec: NixOS Module Changes
+
+### Symlink creation — simplify to two branches
+
+Current: 4 branches (symlink exists, directory exists, other file, doesn't exist).
+
+Revised: 2 branches.
+
+```bash
+if [ -d "${symlinkPath}" ] && [ ! -L "${symlinkPath}" ]; then
+  # Real directory — back it up, then create symlink
+  _backup="${symlinkPath}.bak.$(date +%s)"
+  echo "hermes-agent: backing up existing ${symlinkPath} to $_backup"
+  mv "${symlinkPath}" "$_backup"
+fi
+# For everything else (symlink, doesn't exist, etc.) — just force-create
+ln -sfn "${target}" "${symlinkPath}"
+chown -h ${user}:${cfg.group} "${symlinkPath}"
+```
+
+`ln -sfn` handles: existing symlink (replaces), doesn't exist (creates), and after the `mv` above (creates). The only case that needs special handling is a real directory, because `ln -sfn` cannot atomically replace a directory.
+
+Note: there is a theoretical race between the `[ -d ... ]` check and the `mv` (something could create/remove the directory in between). In practice this is a NixOS activation script running as root during `nixos-rebuild switch` — no other process should be touching `~/.hermes` at that moment. Not worth adding locking for.
+
+### Sudoers — document, don't auto-configure
+
+Do NOT add `security.sudo.extraRules` to the module. Document the sudoers requirement in the module's description/comments and in the error message the CLI prints when sudo probe fails.
+
+### Group membership gating — keep as-is
+
+The fix in 726cf90f (`cfg.container.enable && cfg.container.hostUsers != []`) is correct. Leftover group membership when container mode is disabled is harmless. No cleanup needed.
+
+---
+
+## Spec: Test Rewrite
+
+The existing test file (`tests/hermes_cli/test_container_aware_cli.py`) has 16 tests. With the simplified exec model, several are obsolete.
+
+### Tests to keep (update as needed)
+
+- `test_is_inside_container_dockerenv` — unchanged
+- `test_is_inside_container_containerenv` — unchanged
+- `test_is_inside_container_cgroup_docker` — unchanged
+- `test_is_inside_container_false_on_host` — unchanged
+- `test_get_container_exec_info_returns_metadata` — unchanged
+- `test_get_container_exec_info_none_inside_container` — unchanged
+- `test_get_container_exec_info_none_without_file` — unchanged
+- `test_get_container_exec_info_skipped_when_hermes_dev` — unchanged
+- `test_get_container_exec_info_not_skipped_when_hermes_dev_zero` — unchanged
+- `test_get_container_exec_info_defaults` — unchanged
+- `test_get_container_exec_info_docker_backend` — unchanged
+
+### Tests to add
+
+- `test_get_container_exec_info_crashes_on_permission_error` — verify that `PermissionError` propagates (no silent `None` return)
+- `test_exec_in_container_calls_execvp` — verify `os.execvp` is called with correct args (runtime, tty flags, user, env, container, binary, cli args)
+- `test_exec_in_container_sudo_probe_sets_prefix` — verify that when first probe fails and sudo probe succeeds, `os.execvp` is called with `sudo -n` prefix
+- `test_exec_in_container_no_runtime_hard_fails` — keep existing, verify `sys.exit(1)` when `shutil.which` returns None
+- `test_exec_in_container_non_tty_uses_i_only` — update to check `os.execvp` args instead of `subprocess.run` args
+- `test_exec_in_container_probe_timeout_prints_message` — verify that `subprocess.TimeoutExpired` from the probe produces a human-readable error and `sys.exit(1)`, not a raw traceback
+- `test_exec_in_container_container_not_running_no_sudo` — verify the path where runtime exists (`shutil.which` returns a path) but probe returns non-zero and no sudo is available. Should print the "container may be running under root" error. This is distinct from `no_runtime_hard_fails` which covers `shutil.which` returning None.
+
+### Tests to delete
+
+- `test_exec_in_container_tty_retries_on_container_failure` — retry loop removed
+- `test_exec_in_container_non_tty_retries_silently_exits_126` — retry loop removed
+- `test_exec_in_container_propagates_hermes_exit_code` — no subprocess.run to check exit codes; execvp replaces the process. Note: exit code propagation still works correctly — when `os.execvp` succeeds, the container's process *becomes* this process, so its exit code is the process exit code by OS semantics. No application code needed, no test needed. A comment in the function docstring documents this intent for future readers.
+
+---
+
+## Out of Scope
+
+- Auto-configuring sudoers rules in the NixOS module
+- Any changes to `get_container_exec_info` parsing logic beyond the try/except narrowing
+- Changes to `.container-mode` file format
+- Changes to the `HERMES_DEV=1` bypass
+- Changes to container detection logic (`_is_inside_container`)
