Add hermes debug share instructions to all issue templates

- bug_report.yml: Add required Debug Report section with hermes debug share and /debug instructions, make OS/Python/Hermes version optional (covered by debug report), demote old logs field to optional supplementary - setup_help.yml: Replace hermes doctor reference with hermes debug share, add Debug Report section with fallback chain (debug share -> --local -> doctor) - feature_request.yml: Add optional Debug Report section for environment context All templates now guide users to run hermes debug share (or /debug in chat) and paste the resulting paste.rs links, giving maintainers system info, config, and recent logs in one step.

 ## Testing

-**ALWAYS use `scripts/run_tests.sh`** — do not call `pytest` directly. The script enforces
-hermetic environment parity with CI (unset credential vars, TZ=UTC, LANG=C.UTF-8,
-4 xdist workers matching GHA ubuntu-latest). Direct `pytest` on a 16+ core
-developer machine with API keys set diverges from CI in ways that have caused
-multiple "works locally, fails in CI" incidents (and the reverse).

-scripts/run_tests.sh                                  # full suite, CI-parity

-```
-
-### Why the wrapper (and why the old "just call pytest" doesn't work)
-
-Five real sources of local-vs-CI drift the script closes:
-
-| | Without wrapper | With wrapper |
-|---|---|---|
-| Provider API keys | Whatever is in your env (auto-detects pool) | All `*_API_KEY`/`*_TOKEN`/etc. unset |
-| HOME / `~/.hermes/` | Your real config+auth.json | Temp dir per test |
-| Timezone | Local TZ (PDT etc.) | UTC |
-| Locale | Whatever is set | C.UTF-8 |
-| xdist workers | `-n auto` = all cores (20+ on a workstation) | `-n 4` matching CI |
-
-`tests/conftest.py` also enforces points 1-4 as an autouse fixture so ANY pytest
-invocation (including IDE integrations) gets hermetic behavior — but the wrapper
-is belt-and-suspenders.
-
-### Running without the wrapper (only if you must)
-
-If you can't use the wrapper (e.g. on Windows or inside an IDE that shells
-pytest directly), at minimum activate the venv and pass `-n 4`:
-
 ```bash
 source venv/bin/activate
-python -m pytest tests/ -q -n 4
+python -m pytest tests/ -q          # Full suite (~3000 tests, ~3 min)
+python -m pytest tests/test_model_tools.py -q   # Toolset resolution

+python -m pytest tests/tools/ -q                 # Tool-level tests

-# Hermes Agent v0.10.0 (v2026.4.16)
-
-**Release Date:** April 16, 2026
-
-> The Tool Gateway release — paid Nous Portal subscribers can now use web search, image generation, text-to-speech, and browser automation through their existing subscription with zero additional API keys.
-
---
-
-## ✨ Highlights
-
- **Nous Tool Gateway** — Paid [Nous Portal](https://portal.nousresearch.com) subscribers now get automatic access to **web search** (Firecrawl), **image generation** (FAL / FLUX 2 Pro), **text-to-speech** (OpenAI TTS), and **browser automation** (Browser Use) through their existing subscription. No separate API keys needed — just run `hermes model`, select Nous Portal, and pick which tools to enable. Per-tool opt-in via `use_gateway` config, full integration with `hermes tools` and `hermes status`, and the runtime correctly prefers the gateway even when direct API keys exist. Replaces the old hidden `HERMES_ENABLE_NOUS_MANAGED_TOOLS` env var with clean subscription-based detection. ([#11206](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/11206), based on work by @jquesnelle; docs: [#11208](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/11208))

-# Hermes Agent Security Policy
-
-This document outlines the security protocols, trust model, and deployment hardening guidelines for the **Hermes Agent** project.
-
-## 1. Vulnerability Reporting
-
-Hermes Agent does **not** operate a bug bounty program. Security issues should be reported via [GitHub Security Advisories (GHSA)](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/security/advisories/new) or by emailing **security@nousresearch.com**. Do not open public issues for security vulnerabilities.
-
-### Required Submission Details
- **Title & Severity:** Concise description and CVSS score/rating.
- **Affected Component:** Exact file path and line range (e.g., `tools/approval.py:120-145`).
- **Environment:** Output of `hermes version`, commit SHA, OS, and Python version.
- **Reproduction:** Step-by-step Proof-of-Concept (PoC) against `main` or the latest release.
- **Impact:** Explanation of what trust boundary was crossed.
-
---
-
-## 2. Trust Model
-
-The core assumption is that Hermes is a **personal agent** with one trusted operator.
-
-### Operator & Session Trust
- **Single Tenant:** The system protects the operator from LLM actions, not from malicious co-tenants. Multi-user isolation must happen at the OS/host level.
- **Gateway Security:** Authorized callers (Telegram, Discord, Slack, etc.) receive equal trust. Session keys are used for routing, not as authorization boundaries.
- **Execution:** Defaults to `terminal.backend: local` (direct host execution). Container isolation (Docker, Modal, Daytona) is opt-in for sandboxing.
-
-### Dangerous Command Approval
-The approval system (`tools/approval.py`) is a core security boundary. Terminal commands, file operations, and other potentially destructive actions are gated behind explicit user confirmation before execution. The approval mode is configurable via `approvals.mode` in `config.yaml`:
- `"on"` (default) — prompts the user to approve dangerous commands.
- `"auto"` — auto-approves after a configurable delay.
- `"off"` — disables the gate entirely (break-glass; see Section 3).
-
-### Output Redaction
-`agent/redact.py` strips secret-like patterns (API keys, tokens, credentials) from all display output before it reaches the terminal or gateway platform. This prevents accidental credential leakage in chat logs, tool previews, and response text. Redaction operates on the display layer only — underlying values remain intact for internal agent operations.
-
-### Skills vs. MCP Servers
- **Installed Skills:** High trust. Equivalent to local host code; skills can read environment variables and run arbitrary commands.
- **MCP Servers:** Lower trust. MCP subprocesses receive a filtered environment (`_build_safe_env()` in `tools/mcp_tool.py`) — only safe baseline variables (`PATH`, `HOME`, `XDG_*`) plus variables explicitly declared in the server's `env` config block are passed through. Host credentials are stripped by default. Additionally, packages invoked via `npx`/`uvx` are checked against the OSV malware database before spawning.
-
-### Code Execution Sandbox
-The `execute_code` tool (`tools/code_execution_tool.py`) runs LLM-generated Python scripts in a child process with API keys and tokens stripped from the environment to prevent credential exfiltration. Only environment variables explicitly declared by loaded skills (via `env_passthrough`) or by the user in `config.yaml` (`terminal.env_passthrough`) are passed through. The child accesses Hermes tools via RPC, not direct API calls.
-
-### Subagents
- **No recursive delegation:** The `delegate_task` tool is disabled for child agents.
- **Depth limit:** `MAX_DEPTH = 2` — parent (depth 0) can spawn a child (depth 1); grandchildren are rejected.
- **Memory isolation:** Subagents run with `skip_memory=True` and do not have access to the parent's persistent memory provider. The parent receives only the task prompt and final response as an observation.
-
---
-
-## 3. Out of Scope (Non-Vulnerabilities)
-
-The following scenarios are **not** considered security breaches:
- **Prompt Injection:** Unless it results in a concrete bypass of the approval system, toolset restrictions, or container sandbox.
- **Public Exposure:** Deploying the gateway to the public internet without external authentication or network protection.
- **Trusted State Access:** Reports that require pre-existing write access to `~/.hermes/`, `.env`, or `config.yaml` (these are operator-owned files).
- **Default Behavior:** Host-level command execution when `terminal.backend` is set to `local` — this is the documented default, not a vulnerability.
- **Configuration Trade-offs:** Intentional break-glass settings such as `approvals.mode: "off"` or `terminal.backend: local` in production.
- **Tool-level read/access restrictions:** The agent has unrestricted shell access via the `terminal` tool by design. Reports that a specific tool (e.g., `read_file`) can access a resource are not vulnerabilities if the same access is available through `terminal`. Tool-level deny lists only constitute a meaningful security boundary when paired with equivalent restrictions on the terminal side (as with write operations, where `WRITE_DENIED_PATHS` is paired with the dangerous command approval system).
-
---
-
-## 4. Deployment Hardening & Best Practices
-
-### Filesystem & Network
- **Production sandboxing:** Use container backends (`docker`, `modal`, `daytona`) instead of `local` for untrusted workloads.
- **File permissions:** Run as non-root (the Docker image uses UID 10000); protect credentials with `chmod 600 ~/.hermes/.env` on local installs.
- **Network exposure:** Do not expose the gateway or API server to the public internet without VPN, Tailscale, or firewall protection. SSRF protection is enabled by default across all gateway platform adapters (Telegram, Discord, Slack, Matrix, Mattermost, etc.) with redirect validation. Note: the local terminal backend does not apply SSRF filtering, as it operates within the trusted operator's environment.
-
-### Skills & Supply Chain
- **Skill installation:** Review Skills Guard reports (`tools/skills_guard.py`) before installing third-party skills. The audit log at `~/.hermes/skills/.hub/audit.log` tracks every install and removal.
- **MCP safety:** OSV malware checking runs automatically for `npx`/`uvx` packages before MCP server processes are spawned.
- **CI/CD:** GitHub Actions are pinned to full commit SHAs. The `supply-chain-audit.yml` workflow blocks PRs containing `.pth` files or suspicious `base64`+`exec` patterns.
-
-### Credential Storage
- API keys and tokens belong exclusively in `~/.hermes/.env` — never in `config.yaml` or checked into version control.
- The credential pool system (`agent/credential_pool.py`) handles key rotation and fallback. Credentials are resolved from environment variables, not stored in plaintext databases.
-
---
-
-## 5. Disclosure Process
-
- **Coordinated Disclosure:** 90-day window or until a fix is released, whichever comes first.
- **Communication:** All updates occur via the GHSA thread or email correspondence with security@nousresearch.com.
- **Credits:** Reporters are credited in release notes unless anonymity is requested.

-"""OpenAI-compatible facade that talks to Google's Cloud Code Assist backend.
-
-This adapter lets Hermes use the ``google-gemini-cli`` provider as if it were
-a standard OpenAI-shaped chat completion endpoint, while the underlying HTTP
-traffic goes to ``cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com/v1internal:{generateContent,
-streamGenerateContent}`` with a Bearer access token obtained via OAuth PKCE.
-
-Architecture
------------
- ``GeminiCloudCodeClient`` exposes ``.chat.completions.create(**kwargs)``
-  mirroring the subset of the OpenAI SDK that ``run_agent.py`` uses.
- Incoming OpenAI ``messages[]`` / ``tools[]`` / ``tool_choice`` are translated
-  to Gemini's native ``contents[]`` / ``tools[].functionDeclarations`` /
-  ``toolConfig`` / ``systemInstruction`` shape.
- The request body is wrapped ``{project, model, user_prompt_id, request}``
-  per Code Assist API expectations.
- Responses (``candidates[].content.parts[]``) are converted back to
-  OpenAI ``choices[0].message`` shape with ``content`` + ``tool_calls``.
- Streaming uses SSE (``?alt=sse``) and yields OpenAI-shaped delta chunks.
-
-Attribution
-----------
-Translation semantics follow jenslys/opencode-gemini-auth (MIT) and the public
-Gemini API docs. Request envelope shape
-(``{project, model, user_prompt_id, request}``) is documented nowhere; it is
-reverse-engineered from the opencode-gemini-auth and clawdbot implementations.

-"""Google Code Assist API client — project discovery, onboarding, quota.
-
-The Code Assist API powers Google's official gemini-cli. It sits at
-``cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com`` and provides:
-
- Free tier access (generous daily quota) for personal Google accounts
- Paid tier access via GCP projects with billing / Workspace / Standard / Enterprise
-
-This module handles the control-plane dance needed before inference:
-
-1. ``load_code_assist()`` — probe the user's account to learn what tier they're on
-   and whether a ``cloudaicompanionProject`` is already assigned.
-2. ``onboard_user()`` — if the user hasn't been onboarded yet (new account, fresh
-   free tier, etc.), call this with the chosen tier + project id. Supports LRO
-   polling for slow provisioning.
-3. ``retrieve_user_quota()`` — fetch the ``buckets[]`` array showing remaining
-   quota per model, used by the ``/gquota`` slash command.
-
-VPC-SC handling: enterprise accounts under a VPC Service Controls perimeter
-will get ``SECURITY_POLICY_VIOLATED`` on ``load_code_assist``. We catch this
-and force the account to ``standard-tier`` so the call chain still succeeds.
-
-Derived from opencode-gemini-auth (MIT) and clawdbot/extensions/google. The
-request/response shapes are specific to Google's internal Code Assist API,
-documented nowhere public — we copy them from the reference implementations.

-"""Cross-session rate limit guard for Nous Portal.

-Writes rate limit state to a shared file so all sessions (CLI, gateway,
-cron, auxiliary) can check whether Nous Portal is currently rate-limited
-before making requests.  Prevents retry amplification when RPH is tapped.
-
-Each 429 from Nous triggers up to 9 API calls per conversation turn
-(3 SDK retries x 3 Hermes retries), and every one of those calls counts
-against RPH.  By recording the rate limit state on first 429 and checking
-it before subsequent attempts, we eliminate the amplification effect.

-# Hermes Agent Has Had "Routines" Since March
-
-Anthropic just announced [Claude Code Routines](https://claude.com/blog/introducing-routines-in-claude-code) — scheduled tasks, GitHub event triggers, and API-triggered agent runs. Bundled prompt + repo + connectors, running on their infrastructure.
-
-It's a good feature. We shipped it two months ago.
-
---
-
-## The Three Trigger Types — Side by Side
-
-Claude Code Routines offers three ways to trigger an automation:
-
-**1. Scheduled (cron)**
-> "Every night at 2am: pull the top bug from Linear, attempt a fix, and open a draft PR."
-
-Hermes equivalent — works today:
-```bash
-hermes cron create "0 2 * * *" \
-  "Pull the top bug from the issue tracker, attempt a fix, and open a draft PR." \
-  --name "Nightly bug fix" \
-  --deliver telegram
-```
-
-**2. GitHub Events (webhook)**
-> "Flag PRs that touch the /auth-provider module and post to #auth-changes."
-
-Hermes equivalent — works today:
-```bash
-hermes webhook subscribe auth-watch \
-  --events "pull_request" \
-  --prompt "PR #{pull_request.number}: {pull_request.title} by {pull_request.user.login}. Check if it touches the auth-provider module. If yes, summarize the changes." \
-  --deliver slack
-```
-
-**3. API Triggers**
-> "Read the alert payload, find the owning service, post a triage summary to #oncall."
-
-Hermes equivalent — works today:
-```bash
-hermes webhook subscribe alert-triage \
-  --prompt "Alert: {alert.name} — Severity: {alert.severity}. Find the owning service, investigate, and post a triage summary with proposed first steps." \
-  --deliver slack
-```
-
-Every use case in their blog post — backlog triage, docs drift, deploy verification, alert correlation, library porting, bespoke PR review — has a working Hermes implementation. No new features needed. It's been shipping since March 2026.

-
-## What's Different
-
-| | Claude Code Routines | Hermes Agent |
-|---|---|---|
-| **Scheduled tasks** | ✅ Schedule-based | ✅ Any cron expression + human-readable intervals |
-| **GitHub triggers** | ✅ PR, issue, push events | ✅ Any GitHub event via webhook subscriptions |
-| **API triggers** | ✅ POST to unique endpoint | ✅ POST to webhook routes with HMAC auth |
-| **MCP connectors** | ✅ Native connectors | ✅ Full MCP client support |
-| **Script pre-processing** | ❌ | ✅ Python scripts run before agent, inject context |
-| **Skill chaining** | ❌ | ✅ Load multiple skills per automation |
-| **Daily limit** | 5-25 runs/day | **Unlimited** |
-| **Model choice** | Claude only | **Any model** — Claude, GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, Qwen, local |
-| **Delivery targets** | GitHub comments | Telegram, Discord, Slack, SMS, email, GitHub comments, webhooks, local files |
-| **Infrastructure** | Anthropic's servers | **Your infrastructure** — VPS, home server, laptop |
-| **Data residency** | Anthropic's cloud | **Your machines** |
-| **Cost** | Pro/Max/Team/Enterprise subscription | Your API key, your rates |
-| **Open source** | No | **Yes** — MIT license |

-## Things Hermes Does That Routines Can't
-
-### Script Injection
-
-Run a Python script *before* the agent. The script's stdout becomes context. The script handles mechanical work (fetching, diffing, computing); the agent handles reasoning.
-
-```bash
-hermes cron create "every 1h" \
-  "If CHANGE DETECTED, summarize what changed. If NO_CHANGE, respond with [SILENT]." \
-  --script ~/.hermes/scripts/watch-site.py \
-  --name "Pricing monitor" \
-  --deliver telegram
-```
-
-The `[SILENT]` pattern means you only get notified when something actually happens. No spam.
-
-### Multi-Skill Workflows
-
-Chain specialized skills together. Each skill teaches the agent a specific capability, and the prompt ties them together.
-
-```bash
-hermes cron create "0 8 * * *" \
-  "Search arXiv for papers on language model reasoning. Save the top 3 as Obsidian notes." \
-  --skills "arxiv,obsidian" \
-  --name "Paper digest"
-```
-
-### Deliver Anywhere
-
-One automation, any destination:
-
-```bash
--deliver telegram                      # Telegram home channel
--deliver discord                       # Discord home channel  
--deliver slack                         # Slack channel
--deliver sms:+15551234567              # Text message
--deliver telegram:-1001234567890:42    # Specific Telegram forum topic
--deliver local                         # Save to file, no notification
-```
-
-### Model-Agnostic
-
-Your nightly triage can run on Claude. Your deploy verification can run on GPT. Your cost-sensitive monitors can run on DeepSeek or a local model. Same automation system, any backend.
-
---
-
-## The Limits Tell the Story
-
-Claude Code Routines: **5 routines per day** on Pro. **25 on Enterprise.** That's their ceiling.
-
-Hermes has no daily limit. Run 500 automations a day if you want. The only constraint is your API budget, and you choose which models to use for which tasks.
-
-A nightly backlog triage on Sonnet costs roughly $0.02-0.05. A monitoring check on DeepSeek costs fractions of a cent. You control the economics.
-
---
-
-## Get Started
-
-Hermes Agent is open source and free. The automation infrastructure — cron scheduler, webhook platform, skill system, multi-platform delivery — is built in.
-
-```bash
-pip install hermes-agent
-hermes setup
-```
-
-Set up a scheduled task in 30 seconds:
-```bash
-hermes cron create "0 9 * * 1" \
-  "Generate a weekly AI news digest. Search the web for major announcements, trending repos, and notable papers. Keep it under 500 words with links." \
-  --name "Weekly digest" \
-  --deliver telegram
-```
-
-Set up a GitHub webhook in 60 seconds:
-```bash
-hermes gateway setup    # enable webhooks
-hermes webhook subscribe pr-review \
-  --events "pull_request" \
-  --prompt "Review PR #{pull_request.number}: {pull_request.title}" \
-  --skills "github-code-review" \
-  --deliver github_comment
-```
