fix: clean up stale test references to removed attributes

from test_context_compressor.py. Remove stale _reasoning_deltas_fired references
from test_reasoning_command.py (attribute removed, tests were passing vacuously).

 **The self-improving AI agent built by [Nous Research](https://nousresearch.com).** It's the only agent with a built-in learning loop — it creates skills from experience, improves them during use, nudges itself to persist knowledge, searches its own past conversations, and builds a deepening model of who you are across sessions. Run it on a $5 VPS, a GPU cluster, or serverless infrastructure that costs nearly nothing when idle. It's not tied to your laptop — talk to it from Telegram while it works on a cloud VM.

-
-**Release Date:** April 13, 2026
-**Since v0.8.0:** 487 commits · 269 merged PRs · 167 resolved issues · 493 files changed · 63,281 insertions · 24 contributors
-
-> The everywhere release — Hermes goes mobile with Termux/Android, adds iMessage and WeChat, ships Fast Mode for OpenAI and Anthropic, introduces background process monitoring, launches a local web dashboard for managing your agent, and delivers the deepest security hardening pass yet across 16 supported platforms.
-
----
-
-## ✨ Highlights
-
-- **Local Web Dashboard** — A new browser-based dashboard for managing your Hermes Agent locally. Configure settings, monitor sessions, browse skills, and manage your gateway — all from a clean web interface without touching config files or the terminal. The easiest way to get started with Hermes.
-
-- **Fast Mode (`/fast`)** — Priority processing for OpenAI and Anthropic models. Toggle `/fast` to route through priority queues for significantly lower latency on supported models (GPT-5.4, Codex, Claude). Expands across all OpenAI Priority Processing models and Anthropic's fast tier. ([#6875](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/6875), [#6960](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/6960), [#7037](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/7037))
-
-- **iMessage via BlueBubbles** — Full iMessage integration through BlueBubbles, bringing Hermes to Apple's messaging ecosystem. Auto-webhook registration, setup wizard integration, and crash resilience. ([#6437](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/6437), [#6460](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/6460), [#6494](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/6494))
-
-- **WeChat (Weixin) & WeCom Callback Mode** — Native WeChat support via iLink Bot API and a new WeCom callback-mode adapter for self-built enterprise apps. Streaming cursor, media uploads, markdown link handling, and atomic state persistence. Hermes now covers the Chinese messaging ecosystem end-to-end. ([#7166](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/7166), [#7943](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/7943))
-
-- **Termux / Android Support** — Run Hermes natively on Android via Termux. Adapted install paths, TUI optimizations for mobile screens, voice backend support, and the `/image` command work on-device. ([#6834](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/6834))
-
-- **Background Process Monitoring (`watch_patterns`)** — Set patterns to watch for in background process output and get notified in real-time when they match. Monitor for errors, wait for specific events ("listening on port"), or watch build logs — all without polling. ([#7635](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/7635))
-
-- **Native xAI & Xiaomi MiMo Providers** — First-class provider support for xAI (Grok) and Xiaomi MiMo, with direct API access, model catalogs, and setup wizard integration. Plus Qwen OAuth with portal request support. ([#7372](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/7372), [#7855](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/7855))
-
-- **Pluggable Context Engine** — Context management is now a pluggable slot via `hermes plugins`. Swap in custom context engines that control what the agent sees each turn — filtering, summarization, or domain-specific context injection. ([#7464](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/7464))
-
-- **Unified Proxy Support** — SOCKS proxy, `DISCORD_PROXY`, and system proxy auto-detection across all gateway platforms. Hermes behind corporate firewalls just works. ([#6814](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/6814))
-
-- **Comprehensive Security Hardening** — Path traversal protection in checkpoint manager, shell injection neutralization in sandbox writes, SSRF redirect guards in Slack image uploads, Twilio webhook signature validation (SMS RCE fix), API server auth enforcement, git argument injection prevention, and approval button authorization. ([#7933](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/7933), [#7944](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/7944), [#7940](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/7940), [#7151](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/7151), [#7156](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/7156))
-
-- **`hermes backup` & `hermes import`** — Full backup and restore of your Hermes configuration, sessions, skills, and memory. Migrate between machines or create snapshots before major changes. ([#7997](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/7997))
-
-- **16 Supported Platforms** — With BlueBubbles (iMessage) and WeChat joining Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, Matrix, Email, SMS, DingTalk, Feishu, WeCom, Mattermost, Home Assistant, and Webhooks, Hermes now runs on 16 messaging platforms out of the box.
-
-- **`/debug` & `hermes debug share`** — New debugging toolkit: `/debug` slash command across all platforms for quick diagnostics, plus `hermes debug share` to upload a full debug report to a pastebin for easy sharing when troubleshooting. ([#8681](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/8681))

-"""Abstract base class for pluggable context engines.

-A context engine controls how conversation context is managed when

-is the default implementation. Third-party engines (e.g. LCM) can
-replace it via the plugin system or by being placed in the
-``plugins/context_engine/<name>/`` directory.
-
-Selection is config-driven: ``context.engine`` in config.yaml.
-Default is ``"compressor"`` (the built-in). Only one engine is active.
-
-The engine is responsible for:
-  - Deciding when compaction should fire
-  - Performing compaction (summarization, DAG construction, etc.)
-  - Optionally exposing tools the agent can call (e.g. lcm_grep)
-  - Tracking token usage from API responses
-
-Lifecycle:
-  1. Engine is instantiated and registered (plugin register() or default)
-  2. on_session_start() called when a conversation begins
-  3. update_from_response() called after each API response with usage data
-  4. should_compress() checked after each turn
-  5. compress() called when should_compress() returns True
-  6. on_session_end() called at real session boundaries (CLI exit, /reset,

-## 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.

-
-- **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.

 ### 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`

-**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

-
-#### 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`)

-"""WeCom callback-mode adapter for self-built enterprise applications.

-Unlike the bot/websocket adapter in ``wecom.py``, this handles the standard
-WeCom callback flow: WeCom POSTs encrypted XML to an HTTP endpoint, the
-adapter decrypts it, queues the message for the agent, and immediately
-acknowledges.  The agent's reply is delivered later via the proactive
-``message/send`` API using an access-token.
-
-Supports multiple self-built apps under one gateway instance, scoped by
-``corp_id:user_id`` to avoid cross-corp collisions.

-Session-scoped context variables for the Hermes gateway.
-
-Replaces the previous ``os.environ``-based session state
-(``HERMES_SESSION_PLATFORM``, ``HERMES_SESSION_CHAT_ID``, etc.) with
-Python's ``contextvars.ContextVar``.
-
-**Why this matters**
-
-The gateway processes messages concurrently via ``asyncio``.  When two
-messages arrive at the same time the old code did:
-
-    os.environ["HERMES_SESSION_THREAD_ID"] = str(context.source.thread_id)
-
-Because ``os.environ`` is *process-global*, Message A's value was
-silently overwritten by Message B before Message A's agent finished
-running.  Background-task notifications and tool calls therefore routed
-to the wrong thread.
-
-``contextvars.ContextVar`` values are *task-local*: each ``asyncio``
-task (and any ``run_in_executor`` thread it spawns) gets its own copy,
-so concurrent messages never interfere.
-
-**Backward compatibility**
-
-The public helper ``get_session_env(name, default="")`` mirrors the old
-``os.getenv("HERMES_SESSION_*", ...)`` calls.  Existing tool code only
-needs to replace the import + call site:
-
-    # before
-    import os
-    platform = os.getenv("HERMES_SESSION_PLATFORM", "")
-
-    # after

-# 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
-```
