fix(state): replace version-gated migrations with declarative column reconciliation

The linear migration chain (if current_version < N: ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN)
broke when commit a7d78d3b inserted a new v7 migration (reasoning_content)
and renumbered the old v7 (api_call_count) to v8. Users who updated between
Apr 15–22 already had schema_version=7 from the old numbering, so the new
v7 block was skipped entirely — reasoning_content was never created, causing
'sqlite3.OperationalError: no such column: reasoning_content' on /continue.

Root cause: two independent sources of truth (SCHEMA_SQL for new DBs vs a
manually-maintained version chain for existing DBs) that could desync when
migrations were reordered.

Fix: replace the 8-block version chain with _reconcile_columns(), which on
every startup diffs live table columns (PRAGMA table_info) against the
columns declared in SCHEMA_SQL and ADDs any that are missing. This follows
the Beets/sqlite-utils pattern used across mature SQLite projects — the
CREATE TABLE definition becomes the single source of truth for schema.

Adding a new column is now a single change: add it to SCHEMA_SQL. No
migration block to write, no version number to bump, no possibility of
skipped columns from reordering.

The schema_version table is retained for future data migrations that
cannot be handled declaratively (row transforms), but zero version-gated
ADD COLUMN blocks remain.

-# Prefer .venv; fall back to venv if that's what your checkout has.
-source .venv/bin/activate   # or: source venv/bin/activate
+source venv/bin/activate  # ALWAYS activate before running Python

-
-The dashboard embeds the real `hermes --tui` — **not** a rewrite.  See `hermes_cli/pty_bridge.py` + the `@app.websocket("/api/pty")` endpoint in `hermes_cli/web_server.py`.
-
-- Browser loads `web/src/pages/ChatPage.tsx`, which mounts xterm.js's `Terminal` with the WebGL renderer, `@xterm/addon-fit` for container-driven resize, and `@xterm/addon-unicode11` for modern wide-character widths.
-- `/api/pty?token=…` upgrades to a WebSocket; auth uses the same ephemeral `_SESSION_TOKEN` as REST, via query param (browsers can't set `Authorization` on WS upgrade).
-- The server spawns whatever `hermes --tui` would spawn, through `ptyprocess` (POSIX PTY — WSL works, native Windows does not).
-- Frames: raw PTY bytes each direction; resize via `\x1b[RESIZE:<cols>;<rows>]` intercepted on the server and applied with `TIOCSWINSZ`.
-
-**Do not re-implement the primary chat experience in React.** The main transcript, composer/input flow (including slash-command behavior), and PTY-backed terminal belong to the embedded `hermes --tui` — anything new you add to Ink shows up in the dashboard automatically. If you find yourself rebuilding the transcript or composer for the dashboard, stop and extend Ink instead.
-
-**Structured React UI around the TUI is allowed when it is not a second chat surface.** Sidebar widgets, inspectors, summaries, status panels, and similar supporting views (e.g. `ChatSidebar`, `ModelPickerDialog`, `ToolCall`) are fine when they complement the embedded TUI rather than replacing the transcript / composer / terminal. Keep their state independent of the PTY child's session and surface their failures non-destructively so the terminal pane keeps working unimpaired.

-## Plugins
-
-Hermes has two plugin surfaces. Both live under `plugins/` in the repo so
-repo-shipped plugins can be discovered alongside user-installed ones in
-`~/.hermes/plugins/` and pip-installed entry points.
-
-### General plugins (`hermes_cli/plugins.py` + `plugins/<name>/`)
-
-`PluginManager` discovers plugins from `~/.hermes/plugins/`, `./.hermes/plugins/`,
-and pip entry points. Each plugin exposes a `register(ctx)` function that
-can:
-
-- Register Python-callback lifecycle hooks:
-  `pre_tool_call`, `post_tool_call`, `pre_llm_call`, `post_llm_call`,
-  `on_session_start`, `on_session_end`
-- Register new tools via `ctx.register_tool(...)`
-- Register CLI subcommands via `ctx.register_cli_command(...)` — the
-  plugin's argparse tree is wired into `hermes` at startup so
-  `hermes <pluginname> <subcmd>` works with no change to `main.py`
-
-Hooks are invoked from `model_tools.py` (pre/post tool) and `run_agent.py`
-(lifecycle). **Discovery timing pitfall:** `discover_plugins()` only runs
-as a side effect of importing `model_tools.py`. Code paths that read plugin
-state without importing `model_tools.py` first must call `discover_plugins()`
-explicitly (it's idempotent).
-
-### Memory-provider plugins (`plugins/memory/<name>/`)
-
-Separate discovery system for pluggable memory backends. Current built-in
-providers include **honcho, mem0, supermemory, byterover, hindsight,
-holographic, openviking, retaindb**.
-
-Each provider implements the `MemoryProvider` ABC (see `agent/memory_provider.py`)
-and is orchestrated by `agent/memory_manager.py`. Lifecycle hooks include
-`sync_turn(turn_messages)`, `prefetch(query)`, `shutdown()`, and optional
-`post_setup(hermes_home, config)` for setup-wizard integration.
-
-**CLI commands via `plugins/memory/<name>/cli.py`:** if a memory plugin
-defines `register_cli(subparser)`, `discover_plugin_cli_commands()` finds
-it at argparse setup time and wires it into `hermes <plugin>`. The
-framework only exposes CLI commands for the **currently active** memory
-provider (read from `memory.provider` in config.yaml), so disabled
-providers don't clutter `hermes --help`.
-
-**Rule (Teknium, May 2026):** plugins MUST NOT modify core files
-(`run_agent.py`, `cli.py`, `gateway/run.py`, `hermes_cli/main.py`, etc.).
-If a plugin needs a capability the framework doesn't expose, expand the
-generic plugin surface (new hook, new ctx method) — never hardcode
-plugin-specific logic into core. PR #5295 removed 95 lines of hardcoded
-honcho argparse from `main.py` for exactly this reason.
-
-### Dashboard / context-engine / image-gen plugin directories
-
-`plugins/context_engine/`, `plugins/image_gen/`, `plugins/example-dashboard/`,
-etc. follow the same pattern (ABC + orchestrator + per-plugin directory).
-Context engines plug into `agent/context_engine.py`; image-gen providers
-into `agent/image_gen_provider.py`.

-## Skills
-
-Two parallel surfaces:
-
-- **`skills/`** — built-in skills shipped and loadable by default.
-  Organized by category directories (e.g. `skills/github/`, `skills/mlops/`).
-- **`optional-skills/`** — heavier or niche skills shipped with the repo but
-  NOT active by default. Installed explicitly via
-  `hermes skills install official/<category>/<skill>`. Adapter lives in
-  `tools/skills_hub.py` (`OptionalSkillSource`). Categories include
-  `autonomous-ai-agents`, `blockchain`, `communication`, `creative`,
-  `devops`, `email`, `health`, `mcp`, `migration`, `mlops`, `productivity`,
-  `research`, `security`, `web-development`.
-
-When reviewing skill PRs, check which directory they target — heavy-dep or
-niche skills belong in `optional-skills/`.
-
-### SKILL.md frontmatter
-
-Standard fields: `name`, `description`, `version`, `platforms`
-(OS-gating list: `[macos]`, `[linux, macos]`, ...),
-`metadata.hermes.tags`, `metadata.hermes.category`,
-`metadata.hermes.config` (config.yaml settings the skill needs — stored
-under `skills.config.<key>`, prompted during setup, injected at load time).

 ### DO NOT hardcode cross-tool references in schema descriptions
 Tool schema descriptions must not mention tools from other toolsets by name (e.g., `browser_navigate` saying "prefer web_search"). Those tools may be unavailable (missing API keys, disabled toolset), causing the model to hallucinate calls to non-existent tools. If a cross-reference is needed, add it dynamically in `get_tool_definitions()` in `model_tools.py` — see the `browser_navigate` / `execute_code` post-processing blocks for the pattern.
 
-### The gateway has TWO message guards — both must bypass approval/control commands
-When an agent is running, messages pass through two sequential guards:
-(1) **base adapter** (`gateway/platforms/base.py`) queues messages in
-`_pending_messages` when `session_key in self._active_sessions`, and
-(2) **gateway runner** (`gateway/run.py`) intercepts `/stop`, `/new`,
-`/queue`, `/status`, `/approve`, `/deny` before they reach
-`running_agent.interrupt()`. Any new command that must reach the runner
-while the agent is blocked (e.g. approval prompts) MUST bypass BOTH
-guards and be dispatched inline, not via `_process_message_background()`
-(which races session lifecycle).

-### Squash merges from stale branches silently revert recent fixes
-Before squash-merging a PR, ensure the branch is up to date with `main`
-(`git fetch origin main && git reset --hard origin/main` in the worktree,
-then re-apply the PR's commits). A stale branch's version of an unrelated
-file will silently overwrite recent fixes on main when squashed. Verify
-with `git diff HEAD~1..HEAD` after merging — unexpected deletions are a
-red flag.

-### Don't wire in dead code without E2E validation
-Unused code that was never shipped was dead for a reason. Before wiring an
-unused module into a live code path, E2E test the real resolution chain
-with actual imports (not mocks) against a temp `HERMES_HOME`.

 ### Tests must not write to `~/.hermes/`
 The `_isolate_hermes_home` autouse fixture in `tests/conftest.py` redirects `HERMES_HOME` to a temp dir. Never hardcode `~/.hermes/` paths in tests.

-
-> The Interface release — a full React/Ink rewrite of the interactive CLI, a pluggable transport architecture underneath every provider, native AWS Bedrock support, five new inference paths, a 17th messaging platform (QQBot), a dramatically expanded plugin surface, and GPT-5.5 via Codex OAuth.

-This release also folds in all the highlights deferred from v0.10.0 (which shipped only the Nous Tool Gateway) — so it covers roughly two weeks of work across the whole stack.

-## ✨ Highlights
-
-- **New Ink-based TUI** — `hermes --tui` is now a full React/Ink rewrite of the interactive CLI, with a Python JSON-RPC backend (`tui_gateway`). Sticky composer, live streaming with OSC-52 clipboard support, stable picker keys, status bar with per-turn stopwatch and git branch, `/clear` confirm, light-theme preset, and a subagent spawn observability overlay. ~310 commits to `ui-tui/` + `tui_gateway/`. (@OutThisLife + Teknium)
-
-- **Transport ABC + Native AWS Bedrock** — Format conversion and HTTP transport were extracted from `run_agent.py` into a pluggable `agent/transports/` layer. `AnthropicTransport`, `ChatCompletionsTransport`, `ResponsesApiTransport`, and `BedrockTransport` each own their own format conversion and API shape. Native AWS Bedrock support via the Converse API ships on top of the new abstraction. ([#10549](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/10549), [#13347](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/13347), [#13366](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/13366), [#13430](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/13430), [#13805](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/13805), [#13814](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/13814) — @kshitijk4poor + Teknium)
-
-- **Five new inference paths** — Native NVIDIA NIM ([#11774](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/11774)), Arcee AI ([#9276](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/9276)), Step Plan ([#13893](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/13893)), Google Gemini CLI OAuth ([#11270](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/11270)), and Vercel ai-gateway with pricing + dynamic discovery ([#13223](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/13223) — @jerilynzheng). Plus Gemini routed through the native AI Studio API for better performance ([#12674](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/12674)).
-
-- **GPT-5.5 over Codex OAuth** — OpenAI's new GPT-5.5 reasoning model is now available through your ChatGPT Codex OAuth, with live model discovery wired into the model picker so new OpenAI releases show up without catalog updates. ([#14720](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/14720))
-
-- **QQBot — 17th supported platform** — Native QQBot adapter via QQ Official API v2, with QR scan-to-configure setup wizard, streaming cursor, emoji reactions, and DM/group policy gating that matches WeCom/Weixin parity. ([#9364](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/9364), [#11831](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/11831))
-
-- **Plugin surface expanded** — Plugins can now register slash commands (`register_command`), dispatch tools directly (`dispatch_tool`), block tool execution from hooks (`pre_tool_call` can veto), rewrite tool results (`transform_tool_result`), transform terminal output (`transform_terminal_output`), ship image_gen backends, and add custom dashboard tabs. The bundled disk-cleanup plugin is opt-in by default as a reference implementation. ([#9377](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/9377), [#10626](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/10626), [#10763](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/10763), [#10951](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/10951), [#12929](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/12929), [#12944](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/12944), [#12972](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/12972), [#13799](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/13799), [#14175](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/14175))
-
-- **`/steer` — mid-run agent nudges** — `/steer <prompt>` injects a note that the running agent sees after its next tool call, without interrupting the turn or breaking prompt cache. For when you want to course-correct an agent in-flight. ([#12116](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/12116))
-
-- **Shell hooks** — Wire any shell script as a Hermes lifecycle hook (pre_tool_call, post_tool_call, on_session_start, etc.) without writing a Python plugin. ([#13296](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/13296))
-
-- **Webhook direct-delivery mode** — Webhook subscriptions can now forward payloads straight to a platform chat without going through the agent — zero-LLM push notifications for alerting, uptime checks, and event streams. ([#12473](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/12473))
-
-- **Smarter delegation** — Subagents now have an explicit `orchestrator` role that can spawn their own workers, with configurable `max_spawn_depth` (default flat). Concurrent sibling subagents share filesystem state through a file-coordination layer so they don't clobber each other's edits. ([#13691](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/13691), [#13718](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/13718))
-
-- **Auxiliary models — configurable UI + main-model-first** — `hermes model` has a dedicated "Configure auxiliary models" screen for per-task overrides (compression, vision, session_search, title_generation). `auto` routing now defaults to the main model for side tasks across all users (previously aggregator users were silently routed to a cheap provider-side default). ([#11891](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/11891), [#11900](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/11900))
-
-- **Dashboard plugin system + live theme switching** — The web dashboard is now extensible. Third-party plugins can add custom tabs, widgets, and views without forking. Paired with a live-switching theme system — themes now control colors, fonts, layout, and density — so users can hot-swap the dashboard look without a reload. Same theming discipline the CLI has, now on the web. ([#10951](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/10951), [#10687](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/10687), [#14725](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/14725))

-
-    Nous Portal multiplexes multiple upstream providers (DeepSeek, Kimi,

-
-      (a) The caller's own RPM / RPH / TPM / TPH bucket on Nous is
-          exhausted — a genuine rate limit that will last until the
-          bucket resets.
-      (b) The upstream provider is out of capacity for a specific model
-          — transient, clears in seconds, and has nothing to do with
-          the caller's quota on Nous.
-
-    Tripping the cross-session breaker on (b) blocks ALL Nous requests
-    (and all models, since Nous is one provider key) for minutes even
-    though the caller's account is healthy and a different model would
-    have worked.  That's the bug users hit when DeepSeek V4 Pro 429s
-    trigger a breaker that then blocks Kimi 2.6 and MiMo V2.5 Pro.
-
-    We tell the two apart by looking at:
-
-      1. The 429 response's own ``x-ratelimit-*`` headers.  Nous emits
-         the full suite on every response including 429s.  An exhausted
-         bucket (``remaining == 0`` with a reset window >= 60s) is
-         proof of (a).
-      2. The last-known-good rate-limit state captured by
-         ``_capture_rate_limits()`` on the previous successful
-         response.  If any bucket there was already near-exhausted with
-         a substantial reset window, the current 429 is almost
-         certainly (a) continuing from that condition.
-
-    If neither signal fires, we treat the 429 as (b): fail the single

-Feishu identity model
----------------------
-Feishu uses three user-ID tiers (official docs:
-https://open.feishu.cn/document/home/user-identity-introduction/introduction):
-
-  open_id  (ou_xxx)  — **App-scoped**.  The same person gets a different
-                        open_id under each Feishu app.  Always available in
-                        event payloads without extra permissions.
-  user_id  (u_xxx)   — **Tenant-scoped**.  Stable within a company but
-                        requires the ``contact:user.employee_id:readonly``
-                        scope.  May not be present.
-  union_id (on_xxx)  — **Developer-scoped**.  Same across all apps owned by
-                        one developer/ISV.  Best cross-app stable ID.
-
-For bots specifically:
-
-  app_id              — The application's canonical credential identifier.
-  bot open_id         — Returned by ``/bot/v3/info``.  This is the bot's own
-                        open_id *within its app context* and is what Feishu
-                        puts in ``mentions[].id.open_id`` when someone
-                        @-mentions the bot.  Used for mention gating only.
-
-In single-bot mode (what Hermes currently supports), open_id works as a
-de-facto unique user identifier since there is only one app context.
-
-Session-key participant isolation prefers ``union_id`` (via user_id_alt)
-over ``open_id`` (via user_id) so that sessions stay stable if the same
-user is seen through different apps in the future.

-still a useful hint — the user picks a familiar model name and we look
-up its context length from the catalog.

-The detector never crashes on errors (every HTTP call is wrapped in a

-Subcommands:
-  hermes fallback [list]   Show the current fallback chain (default when no subcommand)
-  hermes fallback add      Pick provider + model via the same picker as `hermes model`,

-  hermes fallback remove   Pick an entry to delete from the chain
-  hermes fallback clear    Remove all fallback entries

-"""Remote model catalog fetcher.
-
-The Hermes docs site hosts a JSON manifest of curated models for providers
-we want to update without shipping a release (currently OpenRouter and
-Nous Portal). This module fetches, validates, and caches that manifest,
-falling back to the in-repo hardcoded lists when the network is unavailable.
-
-Pipeline
---------
-1. ``get_catalog()`` — returns a parsed manifest dict.
-   - Checks in-process cache (invalidated by TTL).
-   - Reads disk cache at ``~/.hermes/cache/model_catalog.json``.
-   - Fetches the master URL if disk cache is stale or missing.
-   - On any fetch failure, keeps using the stale cache (or empty dict).
-
-2. ``get_curated_openrouter_models()`` / ``get_curated_nous_models()`` —
-   thin accessors returning the shapes existing callers expect. Each
-   falls back to the in-repo hardcoded list on any lookup failure.
-
-Schema (version 1)
-------------------
-::
-
-    {
-      "version": 1,
-      "updated_at": "2026-04-25T22:00:00Z",

-"""PTY bridge for `hermes dashboard` chat tab.
-
-Wraps a child process behind a pseudo-terminal so its ANSI output can be
-streamed to a browser-side terminal emulator (xterm.js) and typed
-keystrokes can be fed back in.  The only caller today is the
-``/api/pty`` WebSocket endpoint in ``hermes_cli.web_server``.
-
-Design constraints:
-
-* **POSIX-only.**  Hermes Agent supports Windows exclusively via WSL, which
-  exposes a native POSIX PTY via ``openpty(3)``.  Native Windows Python
-  has no PTY; :class:`PtyUnavailableError` is raised with a user-readable
-  install/platform message so the dashboard can render a banner instead of
-  crashing.
-* **Zero Node dependency on the server side.**  We use :mod:`ptyprocess`,
-  which is a pure-Python wrapper around the OS calls.  The browser talks
-  to the same ``hermes --tui`` binary it would launch from the CLI, so
-  every TUI feature (slash popover, model picker, tool rows, markdown,
-  skin engine, clarify/sudo/approval prompts) ships automatically.
-* **Byte-safe I/O.**  Reads and writes go through the PTY master fd
-  directly — we avoid :class:`ptyprocess.PtyProcessUnicode` because
-  streaming ANSI is inherently byte-oriented and UTF-8 boundaries may land
-  mid-read.
