-# Workspace Convention (Web UI Sessions)
-
-When running as an agent invoked from the web UI, each user message is prefixed with:
-
-  [Workspace: /absolute/path/to/workspace]
-
-This tag is the single authoritative source of the active workspace. It reflects
-whichever workspace the user has selected in the UI at the moment they sent that message.
-It updates on every message, so if the user switches workspaces mid-session, the very
-next message will carry the new path. Always use the value from the most recent tag.
-
-This tag overrides any prior workspace mentioned in the system prompt, memory, or
-conversation history. Never infer or fall back to a hardcoded path like
-~/workspace when this tag is present.
-
-Apply it as the default working directory for ALL file operations:
-
-  - write_file: resolve relative paths against this workspace
-  - read_file / search_files: resolve paths relative to this workspace
-  - terminal workdir: set to this path unless the user explicitly says otherwise
-  - patch: resolve file paths relative to this workspace
-
-If no [Workspace: ...] tag is present (e.g., CLI sessions), fall back to
-~/workspace as the default.

 ## 1. Overview and Purpose
 
 The Hermes Web UI is a lightweight web application that gives you a browser-based
 interface to the Hermes agent that is functionally equivalent to the CLI. It is modeled on
-the Claude-style interface: a three-panel layout with a sidebar for session management,
-a central chat area, and a right panel for workspace file browsing.
+the Claude-style interface: a sidebar for session management, a central chat area,
+and a demand-driven right panel used for workspace browsing and preview surfaces.
+The right panel is closed by default on desktop and opens only when it is actively
+being used for browsing or previewing content.
+
+To prevent a visible first-paint mismatch on refresh, `static/index.html` preloads the
+saved workspace panel state into `document.documentElement.dataset.workspacePanel`
+before the main stylesheet loads. Desktop CSS honors that preload marker immediately,
+and `static/boot.js` keeps the dataset synchronized with the runtime panel state machine.
 
 The design philosophy is deliberately minimal. There is no build step, no bundler, no
 frontend framework. The Python server is split into a routing shell (server.py) and
-business logic modules (api/). The frontend is six vanilla JS modules loaded from static/.
+business logic modules (api/). The frontend is seven vanilla JS modules loaded from static/.
 This makes the code easy to modify from a terminal or by an agent.
 
+For the current local build, the codebase is intentionally as close to upstream as possible:
+the app now tracks upstream `v0.50.36`, keeps the password-session continuity patch in the
+settings/onboarding flow, and does not carry forward the prior reply-language preference
+feature.
+
+Hermes-level chrome is intentionally consolidated: the sidebar has no dedicated brand header.
+Instead, the footer exposes a single "Hermes WebUI" launch button that opens one tabbed
+control-center modal for global preferences, conversation import/export, and clear-conversation
+actions. The topbar remains focused on conversation context and the workspace/files toggle.

+# Contributing to Hermes WebUI
+
+Thanks for contributing.
+
+Hermes WebUI is intentionally simple to work on: Python on the server, vanilla JS in the browser, no build step, no bundler, no frontend framework. The best pull requests preserve that simplicity while solving a real problem cleanly.
+
+## Two Paths to a Strong Pull Request
+
+### Path 1: Small, Focused Changes
+
+This is the fastest path to review and merge.
+
+- Fix one clear bug or add one tightly scoped improvement
+- Touch the fewest files you can
+- Avoid drive-by refactors mixed into functional changes
+- Run the relevant tests locally before opening the PR
+- Keep the PR description concise and specific
+
+These are the changes that are easiest to review and safest to merge quickly.
+
+### Path 2: Bigger Changes
+
+If you want to change architecture, reshape a workflow, add a substantial UI feature, or alter core behavior, align on direction first.
+
+- Open an issue, start a discussion, or open a draft PR early
+- Explain the problem you are solving, not just the implementation you want
+- Call out tradeoffs, migration risk, and any alternatives you considered
+- Keep the final PR easy to review by separating unrelated work
+
+Large changes are welcome, but surprise rewrites are hard to review well.
+
+## What We Expect in Every PR
+
+### 1. One Logical Change Per PR
+
+Keep each PR focused. A small related group of fixes is fine. A bug fix plus a CSS cleanup plus a refactor plus a docs rewrite is not.
+
+### 2. Local Verification
+
+Run the test suite locally:
+
+```bash
+pytest tests/ -v --timeout=60
+```
+
+CI also runs this suite on Python `3.11`, `3.12`, and `3.13`.
+
+If your change affects browser behavior, also run the relevant manual checks from [TESTING.md](TESTING.md).
+
+### 3. Clear PR Description
+
+There is currently no PR template in this repo, so include the important sections yourself:
+
+- Thinking Path
+- What Changed
+- Why It Matters
+- Verification
+- Risks / Follow-ups
+- Model Used
+
+If the change is user-visible, include screenshots or a short video.
+
+For UI or UX changes, before/after images are required. PRs that change the interface or interaction flow without before/after images will likely be ignored, or closed in a regular maintainer sweep without review.
+
+### 4. AI Usage Disclosure
+
+If AI helped produce the change, say so in the PR description.
+
+Include:
+
+- Provider
+- Exact model name or ID
+- Any notable mode or tool use that mattered
+
+If no AI was used, write: `None — human-authored`.
+
+### 5. Keep the Docs Honest
+
+If your change alters behavior, architecture, testing, setup, or user-facing workflows, update the relevant docs in the same PR.
+
+Common files:
+
+- [README.md](README.md) for setup, usage, and contributor-facing commands
+- [ROADMAP.md](ROADMAP.md) for shipped features and sprint history
+- [ARCHITECTURE.md](ARCHITECTURE.md) for implementation details and design constraints
+- [TESTING.md](TESTING.md) for manual and automated verification guidance
+- [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md) when maintainers want release-note-ready entries
+
+## Project-Specific Guidelines
+
+### Preserve the Design Constraints
+
+Hermes WebUI is deliberately:
+
+- No build step
+- No bundler
+- No frontend framework
+- Easy to modify from a terminal
+
+Do not introduce new infrastructure or dependencies unless the gain is clear and the tradeoff is justified.
+
+### Match the Existing Shape of the Codebase
+
+- Server logic belongs in `api/` with `server.py` staying thin
+- Frontend behavior belongs in the existing `static/*.js` modules
+- Prefer extending current patterns over introducing parallel abstractions
+- Keep changes legible to future contributors working directly from the repo in a terminal
+
+### Be Careful With User-Facing Changes
+
+This project is heavily UI-driven. If you change interaction flows, session behavior, workspace browsing, onboarding, or mobile layouts:
+
+- test the happy path
+- test reload behavior where relevant
+- test narrow/mobile layouts where relevant
+- include before/after images in the PR
+
+### Security and Safety Matter
+
+This app can expose workspace contents, run agent actions, and optionally sit behind a reverse proxy or Docker deployment. Treat auth, path handling, uploads, streaming, and environment handling as high-risk areas.
+
+If your PR touches security-sensitive behavior, say so explicitly in the PR description and explain how you verified it.
+
+## Writing a Good PR Message
+
+Start with a short Thinking Path that explains the chain from project goal to the specific fix.
+
+Example:
+
+> - Hermes WebUI aims for near 1:1 parity with the Hermes CLI in a browser
+> - Long-running chat turns rely on SSE streaming and session recovery
+> - Reloading during an in-flight turn can leave the UI in an inconsistent state
+> - The bug was that recovered sessions restored messages but not the live stream state
+> - This PR fixes the recovery path so in-flight turns reconnect cleanly after reload
+> - The benefit is that users can refresh or reconnect without losing visibility into active work
+
+Another example:
+
+> - Hermes WebUI is intentionally a simple Python + vanilla JS application
+> - The right panel is used for workspace browsing and previews
+> - On mobile, panel state changes need to be obvious and touch-friendly
+> - The existing close affordance was inconsistent with the bottom-nav flow
+> - This PR fixes the mobile panel close behavior and aligns it with the current navigation model
+> - The result is fewer dead-end UI states on phones
+
+After that, cover:
+
+- what you changed
+- why you changed it
+- how you verified it
+- what risks remain
+
+## Review Tips
+
+Want the smoothest review?
+
+- Keep diffs tight
+- Name things clearly
+- Avoid unnecessary rewrites
+- Add short comments only where the code would otherwise be hard to follow
+- Respond directly to review feedback and update the PR description if the scope changes
+
+## Development References
+
+- [README.md](README.md)
+- [ARCHITECTURE.md](ARCHITECTURE.md)
+- [TESTING.md](TESTING.md)
+- [ROADMAP.md](ROADMAP.md)
+- [SPRINTS.md](SPRINTS.md)
+
+Questions are best raised early, before a large change is finished.

+# Why Hermes
+
+Hermes is a persistent, autonomous AI agent that runs on your server. It has layered memory that
+accumulates across sessions, a cron scheduler that fires jobs while you're offline, and a
+self-improving skills system that saves reusable procedures automatically. You reach it from a
+terminal, a browser, or a messaging app — and it's the same agent with the same history every time.
+
+This document explains the mental model, how Hermes compares to other tools honestly, and where
+it is and is not the right choice.
+
+---
+
+## The real problem: most tools are excellent in the moment and weak over time
+
+Memory is no longer a differentiator on its own. ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot all
+have some form of memory now. Anthropic, OpenAI, and Microsoft are all shipping scheduling and
+agent features. The category boundaries that existed twelve months ago are blurring fast.
+
+Hermes is not the only tool with memory or automation. It is the tool that makes those
+capabilities durable, self-hosted, cross-surface, and cumulative on your own server. The
+distinction that matters is not "has memory" vs. "has no memory" — it's whether context persists
+across sessions automatically, whether execution happens on hardware you control, whether you can
+reach the same agent identity from any device, and whether the system gets meaningfully better at
+your specific workflow over time without manual configuration.
+
+```
+Session-scoped:   You -> [Tool] -> Answer -> Done
+                  (some tools now carry memory, but the execution is stateless)
+
+Persistent agent: You <-> [Hermes] <-> (memory, skills, schedule, tools, surfaces)
+                  (runs on your server, accumulates context, acts on your behalf offline)
+```
+
+---
+
+## A note on convergence
+
+The market is converging. Chat assistants are adding task scheduling and file connectors. IDE
+tools are launching cloud agent modes. CLI tools are adding skills systems and mobile surfaces.
+The lines between "assistant," "editor," and "agent" are dissolving.
+
+This makes comparisons harder but also makes the question sharper: what actually matters when
+every tool is claiming some version of every feature? For Hermes, the answer is synthesis. Any
+single feature — memory, scheduling, messaging — is available somewhere else. The value is
+having all of them in one self-hosted system, running continuously, with a persistent identity
+that accumulates real knowledge of your stack over time.
+
+---
+
+## The three pillars
+
+### 1. Memory that compounds
+
+Hermes has layered memory that survives every session, every reboot, and every model swap:
+
+- User profile — who you are, your preferences, your communication style, things you've corrected Hermes on
+- Agent memory — facts about your environment, your toolchain, your project conventions
+- Skills — reusable procedures Hermes discovers and saves automatically; it never has to relearn how to deploy your app, run your tests, or review a PR
+- Session history — every past conversation is searchable; Hermes can recall what you worked on last Tuesday
+
+When you correct Hermes, it remembers. When it solves a tricky problem, it saves the approach.
+When it learns your stack, that knowledge carries into every future session. You never configure
+this manually — it happens in the background as a side effect of normal use.
+
+### 2. Autonomous scheduling
+
+Hermes can run jobs without you present — every hour, every morning, on any cron schedule. It
+fires up a fresh session with full access to your memory and skills, runs the task, and delivers
+the result wherever you want it: Telegram, Discord, Slack, Signal, WhatsApp, SMS, email, and more.
+
+Things Hermes can do while you sleep:
+
+- Review new pull requests on your GitHub repo and post a full verdict comment
+- Send a morning briefing of news, markets, or anything else you track
+- Run your test suite and alert you if something breaks
+- Watch a competitor's blog for new posts and summarize them
+- Monitor a datasource and notify you when a threshold is crossed
+
+The difference from cloud-scheduled alternatives is that the job runs on your server, with your
+memory and skills, and your data never leaves your hardware.
+
+### 3. Reach it from anywhere
+
+Hermes runs on your server and is reachable from every surface: terminal over SSH, the web UI
+(this project), and messaging apps including Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, and
+Matrix. Start a task from your phone, check it from the browser on your laptop, continue it in
+a terminal on a remote server. The same agent, memory, and history follow you across all of them.
+
+---
+
+## How AI tools are layered today
+
+The old four-category model — chat, editor, CLI, agent — is too clean. These layers are actively
+collapsing into each other. Here is a more honest picture:
+
+Chat assistants (Claude.ai, ChatGPT) now have persistent memory, task scheduling, 50+ service
+connectors, and in some cases full agent modes with computer use. They are no longer "just chat."
+
+IDE tools (Cursor, Windsurf, Copilot) have shipped or are shipping cross-session memory,
+cloud-based background agents, and in Cursor's case a full Automations platform with Slack
+integration. Cursor v3.0 (April 2026) is explicitly agent-first.
+
+CLI tools (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode) have added hooks, skills, desktop app automations,
+and multi-surface reach. Claude Code now spans terminal, IDE, desktop, and browser. Codex has
+become a product family: CLI, IDE extension, desktop app, and Codex Cloud.
+
+Persistent self-hosted agents (Hermes, OpenClaw) sit at the intersection: they combine the
+tool-use power of CLI agents, the memory of chat assistants, the scheduling of automation
+platforms, and the cross-surface reach of messaging integrations — running continuously on
+hardware you own.
+
+The question is not which category a tool belongs to. The question is which combination of
+capabilities you actually need, where that execution lives, and whether the system gets better
+at your specific context over time.
+
+---
+
+## How Hermes compares
+
+### vs. OpenClaw
+
+OpenClaw is the most direct comparison and the question most people ask first. Both are
+open-source, self-hosted, always-on agents with persistent memory, cron scheduling, and messaging
+app integration. If you're evaluating Hermes, evaluate OpenClaw too.
+
+OpenClaw (MIT) is built around a Gateway control plane written in Node.js/TypeScript. It has the
+widest messaging coverage in the space — 24+ channels including WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal,
+iMessage, LINE, WeChat, Slack, Discord, Teams, Matrix, Google Chat, Feishu, Mattermost, IRC,
+Nextcloud Talk, and more. It has native Chrome/Chromium control via CDP, voice wake words on
+macOS and iOS, and a ClawHub marketplace with 10,700+ skills. The community is large (350k+
+GitHub stars, 16,900+ commits) and growing.
+
+Hermes is built in Python and centers on a self-improving agent loop rather than a gateway
+control plane. The core architectural difference is in skills: OpenClaw skills are primarily
+human-authored plugins installed from a marketplace. Hermes writes and saves its own skills
+automatically as part of every session. When Hermes solves a problem a new way, it saves the
+procedure and reuses it without any user effort. That's not a subtle distinction — it's the
+reason Hermes gets meaningfully better at your workflow without you maintaining a plugin library.
+
+Two practical differences worth knowing directly:
+
+Stability. OpenClaw's GitHub issues and community forums document recurring update-breaking
+regressions. Telegram integration was broken across multiple releases from early 2026 through
+at least April 2026. The unofficial WhatsApp Web protocol OpenClaw relies on disconnects and
+requires periodic re-pairing — this is in OpenClaw's own FAQ.
+
+Security. ClawHub's open publishing model has been exploited at scale. Three separate audits in
+early 2026 found serious problems: Koi Security (January 2026) linked 335 skills to a campaign
+called "ClawHavoc" that delivered Atomic Stealer malware on macOS; Bitdefender found roughly
+900 malicious packages representing about 20% of the ecosystem at the time; Snyk's "ToxicSkills"
+report (February 2026) found malicious skills across roughly 4,000 scanned packages. China's
+CNCERT issued a national warning about ClawHub. Hermes has no third-party marketplace and a
+correspondingly smaller attack surface.
+
+OpenClaw's genuine strengths are worth stating plainly: broader messaging coverage (iMessage,
+LINE, WeChat, Teams, Google Chat — platforms Hermes does not support), native browser and
+computer control via Chrome CDP, voice wake words, a larger community, and more third-party
+integrations than Hermes. If those capabilities matter most, OpenClaw is worth a serious look.
+
+Where Hermes fits better: you want an agent that self-improves from experience without managing
+a plugin library, you work in Python and want the ML/data science ecosystem, you want a stable
+deployment that doesn't break between updates, or you want a full web chat UI rather than a
+control dashboard.
+
+| | OpenClaw | Hermes |
+|---|---|---|
+| Persistent memory | Yes | Yes |
+| Scheduled jobs (cron) | Yes | Yes |
+| Messaging app access | Yes (24+ platforms, incl. iMessage/WeChat/LINE) | Yes (many platforms) |
+| Web UI | Chat UI + control dashboard | Full three-panel chat UI |
+| Self-hosted | Yes | Yes |
+| Open source | Yes (MIT) | Yes |
+| Self-improving skills | Partial (AI can generate; not the default loop) | Yes (automatic, first-class) |
+| Browser / computer control | Yes (native Chrome CDP) | Via shell / tools |
+| Voice wake words | Yes (macOS/iOS) | No |
+| Python / ML ecosystem | No (Node.js) | Yes |
+| Orchestrates Claude Code / Codex | No | Yes |
+| Multi-profile support | Via binding-rule routing | Yes (first-class named profiles) |
+| Provider-agnostic | Yes | Yes |
+| Update reliability | Moderate (documented regressions) | High |
+| Memory inspectability | Limited | Yes (markdown files, editable) |
+| Self-hosted autonomous execution | Yes | Yes |
+
+### vs. Claude Code (Anthropic)
+
+Claude Code is Anthropic's official agentic tool and one of the strongest options for focused
+coding sessions. It has deep code understanding, shell access, file editing, and multi-step
+reasoning. It has been expanding rapidly — it now spans terminal, IDE plugin, desktop app, and
+browser surfaces — and the gap is closing in several areas.
+
+What Claude Code has that's worth knowing:
+
+- Hooks system — 26 event types (SessionStart, PreToolUse, PostToolUse, Stop, and more) with
+  4 handler types (shell command, HTTP endpoint, LLM prompt, sub-agent); gives deterministic
+  non-LLM control over the agent lifecycle
+- Plugins / Skills — installable via `/plugin install`, hot-reloaded from `~/.claude/skills`,
+  with a marketplace; includes the official ralph-wiggum plugin (`/ralph-loop`) for
+  autonomous iteration toward a completion goal (distinct from `/loop`)
+- `/loop` — a native bundled skill, available in every session without any plugin, that runs
+  a prompt on a repeating schedule within an active CLI session (polling/monitoring use case);
+  session-scoped, dies when the terminal closes
+- Scheduling — cloud-managed cron (Anthropic infrastructure, minimum 1-hour interval) and
+  desktop app scheduled tasks (run locally while the app is open, minimum 1-minute interval,
+  full local file access); no self-hosted cron
+- Messaging channels — Telegram, Discord, and iMessage via the Channels feature (research
+  preview, requires Bun runtime); Slack is the most-requested addition and has not yet shipped
+- Memory — CLAUDE.md and MEMORY.md for project-level context; auto-memory since v2.1.59+
+- Claude Cowork — a separate knowledge-worker product connecting 38+ services via MCP
+  including Gmail, Microsoft Teams, Notion, Jira, Salesforce, and more
+
+Claude Code's source was briefly and accidentally made public in March 2026 before being taken
+down. The CLI ships as minified/bundled TypeScript compiled with Bun — it is not open source.
+
+Key differences that remain:
+
+- Scheduling requires cloud (Anthropic infrastructure, data off your hardware, 1-hour minimum)
+  or the desktop app (runs locally, but the app must stay open — not a headless server process);
+  neither runs as a server daemon the way Hermes cron does
+- Memory is project-file-based (CLAUDE.md / MEMORY.md plus rolling auto-memory); it doesn't
+  automatically accumulate a cross-project knowledge graph the way Hermes does
+- Not provider-agnostic — routes through Anthropic, Bedrock, Vertex, or Foundry, but always
+  a Claude model; you can't switch to GPT, Gemini, or a local model
+- Messaging channels are still a research preview, not production
+
+Hermes can use Claude Code as a sub-agent. For large implementation tasks, Hermes can spawn
+Claude Code to handle the heavy lifting and fold the result back into its own memory and history.
+
+| | Claude Code | Hermes |
+|---|---|---|
+| Persistent memory (automatic) | Partial (CLAUDE.md / MEMORY.md + auto-memory v2.1.59+) | Yes |
+| Skills / hooks system | Yes (26-event Hooks + Plugin/Skills marketplace) | Yes (auto-generated from experience) |
+| Scheduled jobs (self-hosted) | No (cloud or desktop-app only) | Yes |
+| Messaging access | Partial (Telegram/Discord/iMessage research preview; Slack not yet) | Yes (many platforms, production) |
+| Cowork connectors (Slack, Gmail, etc.) | Yes (via Claude Cowork, separate product) | Via agent tool use |
+| Web UI | Yes (claude.ai/code, Anthropic-hosted) | Yes (self-hosted) |
+| Provider-agnostic | No (Claude models only) | Yes (any provider) |
+| Self-hosted scheduling | No | Yes |
+| Open source | No | Yes |
+| Background/cloud agent mode | Yes (cloud-scheduled) | Yes (self-hosted cron) |
+| Runs as sub-agent of Hermes | Yes | N/A |
+| Memory inspectability | Partial (CLAUDE.md readable; auto-memory less so) | Yes (markdown files) |
+
+### vs. Codex CLI (OpenAI)
+
+Codex CLI (Apache 2.0, ~60k GitHub stars) started as a straightforward terminal tool and has
+expanded into a product family. It was rewritten from TypeScript to Rust. It now includes an IDE
+extension, a desktop app with an Automations feature, and Codex Cloud for remote execution. A
+Skills system is shared across surfaces. It supports 12+ built-in providers: OpenAI, Anthropic,
+Google/Gemini, Mistral, Groq, Ollama, OpenRouter, LM Studio, Together AI, DeepSeek, xAI,
+Azure OpenAI, and custom endpoints.
+
+The CLI itself has no native scheduling (open feature request). Session continuity is available
+via `codex resume`. Memory is session-history-based plus AGENTS.md project context — not a
+living knowledge graph that accumulates across all your projects. No first-party messaging
+integration. The Automations feature in the desktop app covers scheduled local tasks but doesn't
+reach the cross-session, cross-surface continuity Hermes has.
+
+| | Codex CLI | Hermes |
+|---|---|---|
+| Persistent memory | Partial (session history + AGENTS.md) | Yes (automatic, layered) |
+| Scheduled jobs | Partial (desktop app Automations; CLI has none) | Yes |
+| Messaging app access | No | Yes |
+| Web UI | No (CLI + desktop app) | Yes (self-hosted) |
+| Provider-agnostic | Yes (12+ providers) | Yes |
+| Self-hosted | Yes | Yes |
+| Open source | Yes (Apache 2.0) | Yes |
+| Background/cloud agent mode | Yes (Codex Cloud) | Yes (self-hosted cron) |
+| Self-improving skills | No | Yes |
+
+### vs. OpenCode
+
+OpenCode is an open-source TUI agentic coding assistant supporting 75+ providers. It has a WebUI
+embedded in its binary, an official desktop app, SQLite session history, and AGENTS.md project
+context. It supports CLAUDE.md as a fallback for users migrating from Claude Code. There are 30+
+community plugins, and community messaging integrations exist for Telegram, Slack, Discord, and
+Microsoft Teams — though none are first-party and all require manual setup.
+
+OpenCode Go ($10/month) and OpenCode Zen (curated model service) are subscription tiers. The
+GitHub Copilot official integration launched January 2026. There is no native scheduling; a
+community background plugin exists. No automatic cross-session semantic memory.
+
+| | OpenCode | Hermes |
+|---|---|---|
+| Persistent memory | Partial (session history + AGENTS.md) | Yes (automatic, layered) |
+| Scheduled jobs | No (community plugin only) | Yes |
+| Messaging app access | Community integrations only (Telegram/Slack/Discord/Teams) | Yes (first-party, many platforms) |
+| Web UI | Yes (embedded + desktop app) | Yes (self-hosted) |
+| Mobile access | No | Yes |
+| Skills / plugins | Yes (30+ community plugins) | Yes (auto-generated, first-party) |
+| Provider-agnostic | Yes (75+ providers) | Yes |
+| Open source | Yes | Yes |
+| Self-hosted autonomous execution | No | Yes |
+
+### vs. Cursor
+
+Cursor has changed substantially. The "no memory, no scheduling, no messaging" description was
+accurate in 2024 and is wrong now.
+
+Memories (per-project cross-session knowledge base) shipped in beta with v1.0 in June 2025.
+Automations launched March 5, 2026 — time-based, event-based (GitHub/Linear/PagerDuty), and
+communication-based (Slack) triggers that fire background agents on cloud VMs. The web app,
+mobile agent, and Slack bot give it multi-surface reach. Cursor v3.0 (April 2, 2026) is
+explicitly agent-first with Design Mode and 30+ marketplace plugins. Cursor acquired Supermaven
+for autocomplete. As of early 2026 it's valued at $29.3B with $2B ARR. It is not a narrow editor
+tool anymore.
+
+Hermes still has a different profile: it's self-hosted and server-resident, the same persistent
+identity follows you across every surface without cloud intermediation, and it works with any
+model family rather than being cloud-VM-based. For workflows that require data sovereignty,
+self-hosted scheduling, or deep Python/ML tooling on your own hardware, Cursor's cloud-agent
+architecture is a fundamental mismatch. For teams that want editor-native agents with strong
+IDE integration, Cursor's recent evolution is significant.
+
+| | Cursor | Windsurf | Copilot | Hermes |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| In-editor autocomplete | Excellent (Supermaven) | Excellent (Cascade) | Excellent | No |
+| Inline diff / refactor | Yes | Yes | Yes | Via shell |
+| Cross-session memory | Yes (Memories, per-project) | Yes (Cascade Memories, workspace) | Yes (Agentic Memory, repo-scoped, 28-day expiry) | Yes (automatic, persistent) |
+| Scheduled background jobs | Yes (Automations, cloud VM) | No | Via Coding Agent (issue-driven) | Yes (self-hosted cron) |
+| Messaging app / multi-surface | Yes (Slack bot, web app, mobile) | No | Via Copilot CLI / fleet | Yes (many platforms) |
+| Background/cloud agent mode | Yes (Automations on cloud VMs) | No | Yes (Coding Agent, GA Mar 2026) | Yes (self-hosted) |
+| Terminal tool use | Limited | Limited | Limited | Full |
+| Self-hosted | No | No | No | Yes |
+| Self-hosted autonomous execution | No | No | No | Yes |
+| Provider-agnostic | Partial | Partial | No (GitHub models) | Yes |
+| Open source | No | No | No | Yes |
+| Memory inspectability | Partial | Yes (stored locally) | Limited | Yes (markdown files) |
+
+### vs. Claude.ai and ChatGPT
+
+These are no longer simple chat tools. The description of "no memory, no scheduling, no
+messaging" is inaccurate for both.
+
+Claude Cowork (in Claude Desktop) launched scheduled tasks on February 25, 2026 — hourly,
+daily, weekly, weekdays, and on-demand. It runs in an isolated VM with file and shell access.
+Claude has 50+ service connectors as of February 2026 including Slack (launched January 26,
+2026), Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive, Microsoft 365, Notion, Asana, Linear, and Jira.
+Memory auto-generates from chat history, not just user-curated entries. Code execution and
+file access in Artifacts is sandboxed, not the same as shell access on your own server.
+
+ChatGPT has Agent Mode (launched July 17, 2025), Scheduled Tasks (January 2025, recurring
+automated prompts), a computer-using agent, Projects, 50+ connectors including Gmail, GitHub,
+and Google Drive, dual-mode memory (auto + manual), and ChatGPT Pulse for Pro users (daily
+research briefings). It is not a passive Q&A interface.
+
+Where Claude.ai and ChatGPT differ from Hermes: neither is self-hosted, neither is
+provider-agnostic, and neither gives you execution on your own hardware. Connectors and
+scheduling exist, but they run on Anthropic's or OpenAI's infrastructure. Your memory, session
+history, and agent execution live on their servers, not yours. For many use cases that's fine
+— they are capable and well-supported. For privacy-conscious users, regulated environments, or
+workflows that require persistent server-side execution on controlled hardware, it's a
+disqualifying constraint.
+
+| | Claude.ai | ChatGPT | Hermes |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Memory across conversations | Yes (auto-generated from history) | Yes (dual-mode: auto + manual) | Yes (deep, automatic) |
+| Scheduled tasks | Yes (Cowork: hourly/daily/weekly) | Yes (since Jan 2025) | Yes (any cron, self-hosted) |
+| Service connectors / messaging | Yes (50+ via Cowork) | Yes (50+ connectors) | Yes (many platforms, direct) |

+
+## The compounding advantage
+
+What distinguishes Hermes from most of the tools above is that it gets meaningfully better at
+your specific workflow over time without manual configuration.
+
+Every time Hermes encounters a new environment, it saves facts to memory. Every time it solves
+a problem a new way, it saves the approach as a skill. Every time you correct it, it updates its
+profile of you. Every session, every scheduled job, every tool call adds to a body of knowledge
+that is specific to you, stored on your hardware, and available to every future interaction.
+
+A Claude Code session on day one and day one hundred are identical — it starts fresh. A Hermes
+agent on day one and day one hundred knows your stack, your conventions, your preferences, and
+the solutions that have worked before. That's the actual compounding.
+
+---
+
+## Who Hermes is for
+
+Solo developers and power users who don't want to re-explain their stack every session and want
+an AI that actually knows their environment.
+
+Teams on a shared server where multiple people want capable AI access without each paying for
+a separate subscription or running separate local tooling.
+
+Automation-heavy workflows where you want an AI running tasks on a schedule, delivering results
+to your phone, without babysitting it.
+
+Privacy-conscious users who want their conversations, memory, and files on their own hardware.
+
+Multi-model users who want to switch between OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, and others
+based on cost, capability, or rate limits, without rebuilding their workflow each time.
+
+---
+
+## What Hermes is not
+
+Hermes is not the best in-editor autocomplete tool. Cursor and Windsurf do that job better.
+Use one alongside Hermes.
+
+It is not zero-setup. You are running a server. That means initial configuration, and it means
+you're responsible for uptime, upgrades, and backups. The tradeoff is data sovereignty and
+control; that only makes sense if you actually want it.
+
+It does not make weaker models magical. Memory and skills help, but the underlying model still
+determines reasoning quality. Hermes with a weak model is a well-organized weak model.
+
+It still needs guardrails, approvals, and observability for high-stakes automations. Autonomous
+execution on a schedule with shell access is powerful and requires judgment about what to
+approve. Terminal commands can require confirmation before running; use that for anything
+consequential.
+
+If you need the absolute lowest-friction path to a one-off answer or a quick edit, a chat
+interface or an in-editor tool is the right call. Hermes is for continuity and autonomy, not
+minimum-friction one-shots.
+
+---
+
+## Scope and limits
+
+Hermes lives in the terminal, browser, and messaging apps. For in-editor autocomplete and inline
+diffs, use Cursor or Windsurf — they do that job better and work well alongside Hermes.
+
+You run Hermes on your own server. That means initial setup, but your data stays on your
+hardware and you control the schedule, the models, and the costs.
+
+Hermes is an orchestration and memory layer. It makes whatever model you point at it more useful
+over time. The models do the reasoning; Hermes makes sure that reasoning accumulates into
+something durable.
+
+---
+
+## Security and control
+
+Memory is stored locally on your server as readable, editable files: user profile, agent memory,
+and skills are all markdown. Session history is in SQLite on your machine. You can inspect,
+edit, or delete any of it directly.
+
+If you want external memory providers, eight are supported: Mem0, Honcho, Hindsight, RetainDB,
+ByteRover, Supermemory, Holographic, and others. These are optional and configurable.
+
+Execution runs in configurable backends: local shell, Docker, SSH, Daytona, Singularity, or
+Modal. You choose what execution environment Hermes operates in and what it can reach.
+
+Terminal commands can require confirmation before running. For any automation that touches
+production systems or makes external calls, enable approval controls.
+
+Secrets stay on your hardware. Hermes does not phone home; it calls whatever model APIs you
+configure directly.
+
+Multiple profiles give isolation between users or projects. A shared server can have separate
+profiles with separate memory, separate skills, and separate history.

+[Hermes Agent](https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/) is a sophisticated autonomous agent that lives on your server, accessed via a terminal or messaging apps, that remembers what it learns and gets more capable the longer it runs.
 
 Hermes WebUI is a lightweight, dark-themed web app interface in your browser for [Hermes Agent](https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/).
 Full parity with the CLI experience - everything you can do from a terminal,
 you can do from this UI. No build step, no framework, no bundler. Just Python
 and vanilla JS.

+Layout: three-panel. Left sidebar for sessions and navigation, center for chat,
+right for workspace file browsing. Model, profile, and workspace controls live in
+the **composer footer** — always visible while composing. A circular context ring
+shows token usage at a glance. All settings and session tools are in the

+
+---
+
+## Why Hermes
+
+Most AI tools reset every session. They don't know who you are, what you worked on, or what
+conventions your project follows. You re-explain yourself every time.
+
+Hermes retains context across sessions, runs scheduled jobs while you're offline, and gets
+smarter about your environment the longer it runs. It uses your existing Hermes agent setup,
+your existing models, and requires no additional configuration to start.
+
+What makes it different from other agentic tools:
+
+- **Persistent memory** — user profile, agent notes, and a skills system that saves reusable
+  procedures; Hermes learns your environment and does not have to relearn it
+- **Self-hosted scheduling** — cron jobs that fire while you're offline and deliver results to
+  Telegram, Discord, Slack, Signal, email, and more
+- **10+ messaging platforms** — the same agent available in the terminal is reachable from your phone
+- **Self-improving skills** — Hermes writes and saves its own skills automatically from experience;
+  no marketplace to browse, no plugins to install
+- **Provider-agnostic** — OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, OpenRouter, and more
+- **Orchestrates other agents** — can spawn Claude Code or Codex for heavy coding tasks and bring
+  the results back into its own memory
+- **Self-hosted** — your conversations, your memory, your hardware
+
+**vs. the field** *(landscape is actively shifting — see [HERMES.md](HERMES.md) for the full breakdown)*:
+
+| | OpenClaw | Claude Code | Codex CLI | OpenCode | Hermes |
+|---|---|---|---|---|---|
+| Persistent memory (auto) | Yes | Partial† | Partial | Partial | Yes |
+| Scheduled jobs (self-hosted) | Yes | No‡ | No | No | Yes |
+| Messaging app access | Yes (15+ platforms) | Partial (Telegram/Discord preview) | No | No | Yes (10+) |
+| Web UI (self-hosted) | Dashboard only | No | No | Yes | Yes |
+| Self-improving skills | Partial | No | No | No | Yes |
+| Python / ML ecosystem | No (Node.js) | No | No | No | Yes |
+| Provider-agnostic | Yes | No (Claude only) | Yes | Yes | Yes |
+| Open source | Yes (MIT) | No | Yes | Yes | Yes |
+
+† Claude Code has CLAUDE.md / MEMORY.md project context and rolling auto-memory, but not full automatic cross-session recall  
+‡ Claude Code has cloud-managed scheduling (Anthropic infrastructure) and session-scoped `/loop`; no self-hosted cron
+
+**The closest competitor is OpenClaw** — both are always-on, self-hosted, open-source agents
+with memory, cron, and messaging. The key differences: Hermes writes and saves its own skills
+automatically as a core behavior (OpenClaw's skill system centers on a community marketplace);
+Hermes is more stable across updates (OpenClaw has documented release regressions and ClawHub
+has had security incidents involving malicious skills); and Hermes runs natively in the Python
+ecosystem. See [HERMES.md](HERMES.md) for the full side-by-side.

 ## Quick start
 
-First, you need to install and configure [Hermes Agent](https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/). Once installed:
+Run the repo bootstrap:
 
 ```bash
 git clone https://github.com/nesquena/hermes-webui.git hermes-webui
 cd hermes-webui
+python3 bootstrap.py
+```
+
+Or keep using the shell launcher:
+
+```bash
 ./start.sh
 ```
 
-That is it. The script will:
+The bootstrap will:
 
-1. Locate your Hermes agent checkout automatically.
-2. Find (or create) a Python environment with the required dependencies.
-3. Start the server.
-4. Print the URL (and SSH tunnel command if you are on a remote machine).
+1. Detect Hermes Agent and, if missing, attempt the official installer (`curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/main/scripts/install.sh | bash`).
+2. Find or create a Python environment with the WebUI dependencies.
+3. Start the web server and wait for `/health`.
+4. Open the browser unless you pass `--no-browser`.
+5. Drop you into a first-run onboarding wizard inside the WebUI.
+
+> Native Windows is not supported for this bootstrap yet. Use Linux, macOS, or WSL2.
+
+If provider setup is still incomplete after install, the onboarding wizard will point you to finish it with `hermes model` instead of trying to replicate the full CLI setup in-browser.
+
+---
+
+## Docker
+
+**Pre-built images** (amd64 + arm64) are published to GHCR on every release:
+
+Make sure the `HERMES_WEBUI_STATE_DIR` (by default `~/.hermes/webui-mvp`, as detailed in the `.env.example` file) folder exist with the UID/GID of the owner of the `.hermes` folder. 
+The container will also mount your configured "workspace" (also from the example .env.example) as `/workspace`. adapt the location as needed.
+
+
+```bash
+docker pull ghcr.io/nesquena/hermes-webui:latest
+docker run -d \
+-e WANTED_UID=`id -u` -e WANTED_GID=`id -g` \
+-v ~/.hermes:/home/hermeswebui/.hermes -e HERMES_WEBUI_STATE_DIR=/home/hermeswebui/.hermes/webui-mvp \
+-v ~/workspace:/workspace \
+-p 8787:8787 ghcr.io/nesquena/hermes-webui:latest
+```
+
+Or run with Docker Compose (recommended):
+
+```bash
+# Check the docker-compose.yml and make sure to adapt as needed, at minimum WANTED_UID/WANTED_GID
+docker compose up -d
+```
+
+Or build locally:
+
+```bash
+docker build -t hermes-webui .
+docker run -d \
+-e WANTED_UID=`id -u` -e WANTED_GID=`id -g` \
+-v ~/.hermes:/home/hermeswebui/.hermes -e HERMES_WEBUI_STATE_DIR=/home/hermeswebui/.hermes/webui-mvp \
+-v ~/workspace:/workspace \
+-p 8787:8787 hermes-webui
+```
+
+Open http://localhost:8787 in your browser.
+
+To enable password protection:
+
+```bash
+docker run -d \
+-e WANTED_UID=`id -u` -e WANTED_GID=`id -g` \
+-v ~/.hermes:/home/hermeswebui/.hermes -e HERMES_WEBUI_STATE_DIR=/home/hermeswebui/.hermes/webui-mvp \
+-v ~/workspace:/workspace \
+-p 8787:8787 -e HERMES_WEBUI_PASSWORD=your-secret ghcr.io/nesquena/hermes-webui:latest
+```
+
+> **Note:** By default, Docker Compose binds to `127.0.0.1` (localhost only).
+> To expose on a network, change the port to `"8787:8787"` in `docker-compose.yml`
+> and set `HERMES_WEBUI_PASSWORD` to enable authentication.
+
+### Two-container setup (Agent + WebUI)
+
+If you run the Hermes Agent in its own Docker container and want the WebUI
+in a separate container:
+
+```bash
+docker compose -f docker-compose.two-container.yml up -d
+```
+
+This starts both containers with shared volumes:
+
+- **`hermes-home`** — shared `~/.hermes` for config, sessions, skills, memory
+- **`hermes-agent-src`** — the agent's source code, mounted into the WebUI
+  container so it can install the agent's Python dependencies at startup
+
+The WebUI's init script automatically installs hermes-agent and all its
+dependencies (openai, anthropic, etc.) into its own Python environment on
+first boot. Subsequent restarts reuse the installed packages.
+
+> **How it works:** The WebUI imports hermes-agent's Python modules directly
+> (not via HTTP). The shared volume makes the agent source available, and
+> the init script runs `uv pip install` to set up the dependencies. Both
+> containers share the same `~/.hermes` directory for config and state.
+
+See `docker-compose.two-container.yml` for the full configuration.

+## Accessing on your phone with Tailscale
+
+[Tailscale](https://tailscale.com) is a zero-config mesh VPN built on
+WireGuard. Install it on your server and your phone, and they join the same
+private network -- no port forwarding, no SSH tunnels, no public exposure.
+
+The Hermes Web UI is fully responsive with a mobile-optimized layout
+(hamburger sidebar, sidebar top tabs in the drawer, touch-friendly controls),
+so it works well as a daily-driver agent interface from your phone.
+
+**Setup:**
+
+1. Install [Tailscale](https://tailscale.com/download) on your server and
+   your iPhone/Android.
+2. Start the WebUI listening on all interfaces with password auth enabled:
+
+```bash
+HERMES_WEBUI_HOST=0.0.0.0 HERMES_WEBUI_PASSWORD=your-secret ./start.sh
+```
+
+3. Open `http://<server-tailscale-ip>:8787` in your phone's browser
+   (find your server's Tailscale IP in the Tailscale app or with
+   `tailscale ip -4` on the server).
+
+That's it. Traffic is encrypted end-to-end by WireGuard, and password auth
+protects the UI at the application level. You can add it to your home screen
+for an app-like experience.
+
+> **Tip:** If using Docker, set `HERMES_WEBUI_HOST=0.0.0.0` in your
+> `docker-compose.yml` environment (already the default) and set

+## Contributors
+
+Hermes WebUI is built with help from the open-source community. Every PR — whether merged directly or incorporated via rebase — shapes the project, and we're grateful to everyone who has taken the time to contribute.
+
+### Major contributions
+
+**[@aronprins](https://github.com/aronprins)** — v0.50.0 UI overhaul (PR #242)
+The biggest single contribution to the project: a complete UI redesign that moved model/profile/workspace controls into the composer footer, replaced the gear-icon settings panel with the Hermes Control Center (tabbed modal), removed the activity bar in favor of inline composer status, redesigned the session list with a `⋯` action dropdown, and added the workspace panel state machine. 26 commits, thoroughly designed and iterated through multiple review rounds.
+
+**[@iRonin](https://github.com/iRonin)** — Security hardening sprint (PRs #196–#204)
+Six consecutive security and reliability PRs: session memory leak fix (expired token pruning), Content-Security-Policy + Permissions-Policy headers, 30-second slow-client connection timeout, optional HTTPS/TLS support via environment variables, upstream branch tracking fix for self-update, and CLI session support in the file browser API. This is the kind of focused, high-quality security work that makes a self-hosted tool trustworthy.
+
+**[@DavidSchuchert](https://github.com/DavidSchuchert)** — German translation (PR #190)
+Complete German locale (`de`) covering all UI strings, settings labels, commands, and system messages — and in doing so, stress-tested the i18n system and exposed several elements that weren't yet translatable, which got fixed as part of the same PR.
+
+**[@Jordan-SkyLF](https://github.com/Jordan-SkyLF)** — Live streaming, session recovery, workspace fallback (PRs #366, #367)
+Three interlocking improvements: workspace fallback resolution so the server recovers gracefully when the configured workspace is deleted or unavailable; live reasoning cards that upgrade the generic thinking spinner to a real-time reasoning display as the model thinks; and durable session state recovery via `localStorage` so in-flight tool cards, partial assistant output, and the live SSE stream all survive a full page reload or session switch.
+
+### Feature contributions
+
+**[@gabogabucho](https://github.com/gabogabucho)** — Spanish locale + onboarding wizard (PRs #275, #285)
+Full Spanish (`es`) locale covering all 175 UI strings, plus the one-shot bootstrap onboarding wizard that guides new users through provider setup on first launch — the feature most responsible for new users actually getting started.
+
+**[@bergeouss](https://github.com/bergeouss)** — Real-time gateway session sync (PR #274)
+Bridged the gateway session database (Telegram, Discord, Slack, etc.) into the WebUI sidebar with live SSE polling. Gateway sessions now appear alongside WebUI sessions in real time, without any changes to hermes-agent.
+
+**[@ccqqlo](https://github.com/ccqqlo)** — Terminal approval UX + custom model discovery + mobile close button (PRs #224, #225, #238, #333)
+A run of focused quality-of-life improvements: terminal tool approval prompts that stay visible long enough to actually be read, restored custom model API key discovery, and the redundant mobile close button fix that had been confusing users on narrow screens.
+
+**[@kevin-ho](https://github.com/kevin-ho)** — OLED theme (PR #168)
+Added the 7th built-in theme: pure black backgrounds with warm accents tuned to reduce burn-in risk. Small diff, big impact for anyone on an OLED display.
+
+**[@Bobby9228](https://github.com/Bobby9228)** — Mobile Profiles button + Android Chrome fixes (PRs #253, #263, #265)
+Added the Profiles entry to the mobile navigation flow, making profile switching reachable on phones, plus a set of Android Chrome-specific fixes for the profile dropdown.
+
+**[@franksong2702](https://github.com/franksong2702)** — Session title guard + breadcrumb nav (PRs #301, #302)
+Two clean bug fixes / features: the session title guard that stops `title_from()` from overwriting user-renamed sessions after every turn, and clickable breadcrumb navigation in the workspace file preview panel.
+
+**[@betamod](https://github.com/betamod)** — Security hardening (PR #171)
+A comprehensive security audit PR covering CSRF protection, SSRF guards, XSS escaping improvements, and the env race condition between concurrent agent sessions — foundational security work that shipped in v0.39.0.
+
+**[@TaraTheStar](https://github.com/TaraTheStar)** — Bot name + thinking blocks + login refactor (PRs #132, #176, #181)
+Made the assistant display name configurable throughout the UI, added thinking/reasoning block display in chat, and refactored the login page to use template variables instead of inline string replacement.
+
+**[@thadreber-web](https://github.com/thadreber-web)** — CLI session bridge (PR #56)
+The original CLI session bridge: reads CLI sessions from the agent's SQLite state store and surfaces them in the WebUI sidebar. This was the first bridge between the CLI and WebUI session worlds.
+
+**[@deboste](https://github.com/deboste)** — Reverse proxy auth + mobile responsive layout + model routing (PRs #3, #4, #5)
+Three of the very first community PRs: fixed EventSource/fetch to use the URL origin for reverse proxy setups, corrected model provider routing from config, and added mobile responsive layout with dvh viewport fix. Early foundation work.
+
+### Bug fix and security contributions
+
+**[@Hinotoi-agent](https://github.com/Hinotoi-agent)** — Profile .env secret isolation (PR #351)
+Fixed API key leakage between profiles on switch — switching from a profile with `OPENAI_API_KEY` to one without it left the key in the process environment for the duration of the session, effectively leaking credentials. A subtle and important security fix.
+
+**[@lawrencel1ng](https://github.com/lawrencel1ng)** — Bandit security fixes B310/B324/B110 + QuietHTTPServer (PR #354)
+Systematic bandit security scan fixes: URL scheme validation before `urlopen`, MD5 `usedforsecurity=False`, and 40+ bare `except: pass` blocks replaced with proper logging — plus `QuietHTTPServer` to stop client-disconnect log spam from SSE streams.
+
+**[@lx3133584](https://github.com/lx3133584)** — CSRF fix for reverse proxy on non-standard ports (PR #360)
+Fixed CSRF rejection for deployments behind Nginx Proxy Manager or similar on non-standard ports — a real-world blocker for anyone hosting on a port other than 80/443.
+
+**[@DelightRun](https://github.com/DelightRun)** — session_search fix for WebUI sessions (PR #356)
+The `session_search` tool silently returned "Session database not available" in every WebUI session. Tracked down the missing `SessionDB` injection in the streaming path and fixed it.
+
+**[@shaoxianbilly](https://github.com/shaoxianbilly)** — Unicode filename downloads (PR #378)
+Fixed `UnicodeEncodeError` crashes when downloading workspace files with Chinese, Japanese, or other non-ASCII names. Implemented proper `Content-Disposition` header with RFC 5987 `filename*=UTF-8''...` encoding.
+
+**[@huangzt](https://github.com/huangzt)** — Cancel interrupts agent (PR #244)
+Made the Cancel button actually interrupt the running agent and clean up UI state, rather than just hiding the button while the agent kept running.
+
+**[@tgaalman](https://github.com/tgaalman)** — Thinking card fix (PR #169)
+Fixed top-level reasoning fields being missed in the thinking card display — an edge case in how Claude's extended thinking blocks surface in the API response.
+
+**[@smurmann](https://github.com/smurmann)** — Custom provider routing fix (PR #189)
+Fixed model routing for slash-prefixed custom provider models, which were being misrouted in the model selector. A precise fix for a real edge case in multi-provider setups.
+
+**[@jeffscottward](https://github.com/jeffscottward)** — Claude Haiku model ID fix (PR #145)
+Caught and corrected the Claude Haiku model ID (`3-5` → `4-5`) immediately after the Anthropic release — the kind of quick community catch that keeps the model dropdown accurate.
+
+**[@kcclaw001](https://github.com/kcclaw001)** — Credential redaction in API responses (PR #243)
+Added credential redaction to all API response paths so API keys, tokens, and other secrets in session data or error messages are masked before reaching the browser.
+
+**[@mbac](https://github.com/mbac)** — Phantom "Custom" provider group fix (PR #191)
+Removed the phantom "Custom" optgroup that appeared in the model dropdown even when no custom provider was configured — a small but consistently confusing UI noise issue.
+
+**[@andrewy-wizard](https://github.com/andrewy-wizard)** — Chinese localization (PR #177)
+Added Simplified Chinese (`zh`) locale to the WebUI. One of the first non-English locales and the most-used non-English locale in the codebase.
+
+**[@mmartial](https://github.com/mmartial)** — Docker UID/GID matching (PR #237)
+Added Docker support for running as an arbitrary UID/GID matching the host user, eliminating permission issues with bind-mounted volumes — essential for Docker deployments where the host user isn't UID 1000.
+
+**[@vCillusion](https://github.com/vCillusion)** — pip package resolution fix (PR #76)
+Fixed agent dependency resolution to prefer packages from the venv's site-packages over the agent directory itself, preventing shadowing bugs when developing locally.
+
+**[@carlytwozero](https://github.com/carlytwozero)** — API key pass-through for non-Anthropic providers (PR #78)
+Fixed `api_key` not being passed to `AIAgent` for non-Anthropic `/anthropic` providers — a quiet regression that silently broke any non-default provider.
+
+**[@mangodxd](https://github.com/mangodxd)** — Type hints cleanup (PR #115)
+Added missing type hints across 10 files and corrected 9 inaccurate existing ones — the kind of maintenance work that makes the codebase easier to reason about.
+
+**[@Argonaut790](https://github.com/Argonaut790)** — HTML entity decode + Traditional Chinese locale (PR #239)
+Fixed double-escaping of HTML entities in `renderMd()` — LLM output containing `&lt;code&gt;` was being escaped a second time, rendering as literal text instead of the intended markdown. The same PR also completed the Simplified Chinese translation (40+ missing keys) and added a full Traditional Chinese (`zh-Hant`) locale.
+
+**[@indigokarasu](https://github.com/indigokarasu)** — Visual redesign proposal: icon rail + design token system + 7 themes (PR #213)
+A CSS-only redesign of the full UI — proper design tokens (`--bg-primary`, `--text-info`, spacing scale), an icon rail sidebar replacing the emoji tab strip, consistent form cards, breadcrumb nav, and 7 built-in themes as custom properties. The PR didn't merge as-is but directly shaped the design language and theme architecture that shipped in v0.50.0.
+
+**[@zenc-cp](https://github.com/zenc-cp)** — Anti-hallucination guard for ReAct loop (PR #133)
+Added a streaming token buffer and post-run message scrub to `streaming.py` to detect and strip fake tool execution JSON that weaker models write inline instead of calling tools properly. A three-layer approach: ephemeral anti-hallucination prompt, live token filtering, and session history cleanup. The pattern influenced later streaming.py improvements.

-## Sprint 18 -- Voice + Multimodal Input
+## Sprint 18 -- Thinking Display + Workspace Tree + Preview Fix (COMPLETED)
 
-**Theme:** Input beyond the keyboard.
+**Theme:** Show the model's reasoning, improve workspace navigation, fix UX bug.
 
-**Why now:** Voice is a meaningful quality-of-life feature for longer sessions
-and is achievable with Whisper. Image input closes the last modality gap with
-Claude (Claude accepts image paste natively -- we do too, but only as
-file uploads, not clipboard screenshots into the conversation directly).
+**Why now:** Thinking/reasoning display was deferred twice (Sprint 16 → 17 → 18).
+Workspace tree view was the #1 community request (Issue #22). File preview
+staying open on directory navigation was a daily-driver annoyance.
 
 ### Track A: Bugs
-- Image paste currently requires a click-to-attach flow. Direct paste into the
-  message textarea should embed the image inline (as a preview chip) and queue
-  it for upload on Send. (Partially works -- clean up edge cases.)
-- Large image uploads (>5MB) time out the upload step silently.
+- **File preview auto-close.** When viewing a file in the right panel and
+  navigating directories (breadcrumbs, up button, folder clicks), the preview
+  stayed visible with stale content. Fix: extracted `clearPreview()` as a named
+  function in boot.js and call it from `loadDir()` in workspace.js.
 
 ### Track B: Features
-- **Voice input (Whisper):** A microphone icon in the composer. Hold to record,
-  release to transcribe via `POST /api/transcribe` (calls local Whisper or
-  OpenAI Whisper API). Transcribed text appears in the message input, editable
-  before send. Supports the full "voice -> text -> Hermes response" loop.
-- **TTS playback:** A speaker icon on assistant messages. Calls a TTS endpoint
-  (ElevenLabs or OpenAI TTS) and plays the audio. Toggle per-message. Optional
-  auto-play mode in settings.
-- **Vision input improvements:** Paste a screenshot directly from clipboard into
-  the conversation (not just the tray). Shows as an inline preview chip with
-  the image thumbnail. On Send, uploads and includes in the message.
+- **Thinking/reasoning display.** Assistant messages with structured content
+  arrays containing `type:'thinking'` or `type:'reasoning'` blocks now render
+  as collapsible gold-themed cards above the response text. Collapsed by
+  default, click header to expand. Works with Claude extended thinking and
+  o3 reasoning tokens when preserved in the message array.
+- **Workspace tree view (Issue #22).** Directories expand/collapse in-place
+  with toggle arrows. Single-click toggles, double-click navigates (breadcrumb
+  view). Subdirectory contents fetched lazily and cached in `S._dirCache`.
+  Nesting depth shown via indentation. Empty directories show "(empty)".
+
+**Tests:** 0 new (pure CSS/DOM changes). Total: 318.
+**Hermes CLI parity impact:** Low
+**Claude parity impact:** High (reasoning display matches Claude's UI)
+
+---
+
+## Sprint 19 -- Auth + Security Hardening (COMPLETED)
+
+**Theme:** Make this safe to leave running beyond localhost.
+
+**Why now:** Issue #23 requested authentication. Auth is the last production
+hardening feature before the app is safe to expose to a network.
+
+### Track A: Bugs
+- **No request size limit.** POST bodies were unbounded (DoS risk). Added 20MB
+  cap in `read_body()`.
+
+### Track B: Features
+- **Password authentication (Issue #23).** Off by default — zero friction for
+  localhost. Enable via `HERMES_WEBUI_PASSWORD` env var or Settings panel.
+  Password-only (no username — single-user app). Signed HMAC HTTP-only cookie
+  with 24h TTL. Minimal dark-themed login page at `/login`. API calls without
+  auth return 401; page loads redirect to `/login`. Settings panel gains
+  "Access Password" field and "Sign Out" button.
+- **Security headers.** All responses now include `X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff`,
+  `X-Frame-Options: DENY`, `Referrer-Policy: same-origin`.
 
 ### Track C: Architecture
-- Audio pipeline: `POST /api/transcribe` streams audio bytes, returns transcript.
-  `GET /api/tts?text=...` returns audio/mpeg. Both use lazy import of Whisper
-  and TTS libraries to keep cold start fast.
+- New `api/auth.py` module: password hashing (SHA-256 + STATE_DIR salt), signed
+  session cookies, auth middleware, public path allowlist.
+- Auth check in `server.py` do_GET/do_POST before routing.
+- `password_hash` added to `_SETTINGS_DEFAULTS` in config.py.
+- `_set_password` special field in save_settings for secure password updates.
 
-**Tests:** ~12 new. Total: ~271.
+**Tests:** 10 new. Total: 328.
+**Hermes CLI parity impact:** Low (CLI has no auth concerns)
+**Claude parity impact:** High (Claude is authenticated)
+
+---
+
+## Sprint 20 -- Voice Input + Send Button Polish (COMPLETED)
+
+**Theme:** Input refinements — voice and visual polish.
+
+**Why now:** Voice input was the next feature on the roadmap. The send button
+UX was a low-effort high-impact polish opportunity that pairs naturally.
+
+### Track A: Bugs
+- **Send button always visible.** The old pill-shaped "Send" button was always
+  visible even with an empty textarea, wasting space. Now hidden by default,
+  appears only when there is content to send.
+
+### Track B: Features
+- **Voice input (Web Speech API).** Microphone button in composer. Tap to
+  record, tap again to stop. Live interim transcription in textarea. Auto-stops
+  after ~2s of silence. Appends to existing text. Hidden when browser doesn't
+  support Web Speech API. No API keys, no server changes.
+- **Send button polish.** Icon-only 34px circle with upward arrow SVG. Pop-in
+  spring animation on appear. Scale hover/active for tactile feedback. Hidden
+  while agent is responding.
+
+### Track C: Architecture
+- Voice input IIFE in `boot.js` with SpeechRecognition lifecycle.
+- `updateSendBtn()` in `ui.js` hooked into setBusy, renderTray, autoResize.
+
+**Tests:** 52 new (voice) + 33 new (send button). Total: 415.
 **Hermes CLI parity impact:** Medium (voice not in CLI, but adds capability)
 **Claude parity impact:** High (Claude has native voice mode)

-## Sprint 18 -- Subagent Visibility + Agentic Transparency
+## Sprint 21 -- Mobile Responsive + Docker (COMPLETED)
 
-**Theme:** Watch Hermes think, not just respond.
+**Theme:** Mobile experience + containerized deployment.
 
-**Why now:** When Hermes delegates to subagents (delegate_task, spawns parallel
-workstreams), the UI shows nothing. On long multi-agent tasks you have no idea
-what's happening. This is the last major "CLI feels better" gap for power users.
+**Why now:** Issue #21 (mobile) was the most-requested UX gap. Issue #7 (Docker)
+enables deployment beyond localhost. Both were achievable without new dependencies.
 
-### Track A: Bugs
-- Tool cards for delegate_task show no information about what the subagent was
-  asked to do or what it returned.
-- The activity bar text truncates at 55 chars -- tool previews for long terminal
-  commands show nothing useful.
+### Track A: Bugs (from review)
+- **CSS cascade broke mobile slide-in.** `position:relative` after the media query
+  overrode `position:fixed`. Wrapped in `@media(min-width:641px)`.
+- **mobileSwitchPanel() always reopened sidebar.** Chat tab now closes it.
+- **Dockerfile missing pip install.** Container failed on startup.
+- **No .dockerignore.** `.git`, `tests/`, `.env*` leaked into images.
+- **docker-compose tilde expansion.** `~` doesn't expand in Compose defaults.
 
 ### Track B: Features
-- **Subagent delegation cards:** When `delegate_task` fires, show an expandable
-  card with the subagent's goal, status (pending/running/done), and result
-  summary. Multiple subagents from one call appear as a card group. Uses the
-  existing tool card infrastructure.
-- **Background task monitor:** A "Tasks" indicator in the topbar (separate from
-  the cron Tasks panel). Shows count of active agent threads. Click opens a
-  popover listing all in-flight streams with session names and elapsed times.
-  Cancel any individual thread. This is the full job queue visibility the CLI
-  implicitly has via `ps aux`.
-- **Thinking/reasoning display:** When the model emits reasoning tokens (o3,
-  Claude extended thinking), show them in a collapsible "Reasoning" card above
-  the response. Collapsed by default. This matches Claude's reasoning display.
+- **Hamburger sidebar.** Slide-in overlay on mobile, tap outside to close.
+- **Bottom navigation bar.** 5-tab iOS-style bar replaces sidebar tabs.
+- **Files slide-over.** Right panel opens as slide-over from right edge.
+- **Touch targets.** Minimum 44px on all interactive elements.
+- **Docker support.** Dockerfile, docker-compose.yml, .dockerignore.
 
 ### Track C: Architecture
-- Task registry: extend STREAMS to include session name, start time, and task
-  description. New `GET /api/tasks/active` endpoint returns all running streams
-  with metadata.
+- Mobile nav functions in `boot.js`. Session click auto-closes sidebar.
+- 69 new CSS lines scoped to `@media(max-width:640px)`.
+- Desktop layout untouched — all mobile elements `display:none` by default.
 
-**Tests:** ~14 new. Total: ~285.
-**Hermes CLI parity impact:** Very High (subagent and task visibility is the
-  last major CLI gap)
-**Claude parity impact:** High (Claude shows reasoning, tool use visibly)

-## Sprint 19 -- Auth, HTTPS, and Production Hardening
+## Sprint 22 -- Multi-Profile Support (COMPLETED, Issue #28)
 
-**Theme:** Make this safe to leave running.
+**Theme:** Switch between Hermes agent profiles seamlessly from the web UI.
 
-**Why now:** Everything else is done. This is the sprint you run when you want
-to expose the UI beyond localhost -- to a team, a mobile device, or a public
-address.
+**Why now:** Issue #28 requested full profile management in the UI. The CLI has
+had comprehensive profile support since v0.6.0 — isolated instances with their
+own config, skills, memory, cron, and API keys. The web UI was locked to a
+single default profile, blocking multi-persona workflows.
 
 ### Track A: Bugs
-- Server has no request size limit on non-upload endpoints (potential DoS).
-- Session JSON files have no size cap (a runaway agent could write GBs).
+- **Hardcoded `~/.hermes` paths.** Memory read/write in routes.py and model
+  discovery in config.py used hardcoded paths instead of the active profile's
+  directory. Fixed to resolve through `get_active_hermes_home()`.
+- **Module-level cached paths.** hermes-agent's `skills_tool.py` and `cron/jobs.py`
+  snapshot `HERMES_HOME` at import time. Profile switch now monkey-patches these
+  cached variables (`SKILLS_DIR`, `CRON_DIR`, `JOBS_FILE`, `OUTPUT_DIR`).
 
 ### Track B: Features
-- **Password authentication:** A login page with a configurable password
-  (HERMES_WEBUI_PASSWORD env var). Signed cookie session (24h expiry).
-  Single-user model -- no accounts, no registration.
-- **HTTPS / reverse proxy guide:** A one-page `DEPLOY.md` with instructions
-  for running behind nginx + Let's Encrypt on a VPS. Configuration snippets
-  for systemd service, nginx config, certbot.
-- **Mobile responsive layout:** Collapsible sidebar (hamburger). Touch-friendly
-  session list (swipe to delete, tap to navigate). Composer expands on focus.
-  Right panel hidden by default on mobile, accessible via a Files tab.
-- **Rate limiting:** Simple per-IP token bucket on the chat/start endpoint
-  (configurable, default 10 req/min) to prevent accidental hammering.
+- **Profile picker (topbar).** Purple-accented chip with SVG user icon in the
+  topbar. Click opens a dropdown listing all profiles with gateway status dots,
+  model info, and skill count. Click to switch; "Manage profiles" link opens
+  the management panel.
+- **Profiles sidebar panel.** New nav tab with full management UI. Cards show
+  each profile with model, provider, skill count, API key status, and gateway
+  badge. "Use" button to switch, delete button for non-default profiles.
+- **Profile creation.** "+ New profile" form with name validation (lowercase
+  alphanumeric + hyphens), optional "clone config from active" checkbox. Wraps
+  `hermes_cli.profiles.create_profile()`.
+- **Profile deletion.** Confirm dialog, auto-switches to default if deleting
+  the active profile. Blocked while agent is running.
+- **Seamless switching.** No server restart required. Profile switch updates
+  `HERMES_HOME` env var, patches module-level caches, reloads `.env` API keys,
+  reloads `config.yaml`, and refreshes the model dropdown, skills, memory, and
+  cron panels.
+- **Per-session profile tracking.** New `profile` field on Session records which
+  profile was active when the session was created. Backward-compatible (defaults
+  to `null` for old sessions).
 
 ### Track C: Architecture
-- Helmet headers: X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, HSTS (when served
-  over HTTPS). Simple middleware in the Handler.
+- New `api/profiles.py` module (~200 lines): profile state management wrapping
+  `hermes_cli.profiles`. Thread-safe with `_profile_lock`. Lazy imports to
+  avoid circular dependencies.
+- `api/config.py`: Replaced module-level `cfg` dict with reloadable
+  `get_config()`/`reload_config()`. Dynamic `_get_config_path()` resolves
+  through active profile.
+- `api/streaming.py`: `HERMES_HOME` added to env save/restore block around
+  agent runs (alongside `TERMINAL_CWD`, `HERMES_EXEC_ASK`).
+- Profile switch blocked while any agent stream is active (process-global
+  `HERMES_HOME` cannot be changed mid-run).
+- Zero modifications to hermes-agent code required.
 
-**Tests:** ~12 new. Total: ~297.
-**Hermes CLI parity impact:** Low (CLI has no auth/HTTPS concerns)
-**Claude parity impact:** Very High (Claude is authenticated, HTTPS only)
+**Tests:** 0 new (profile management requires hermes-agent integration). Total: 415.
+**Hermes CLI parity impact:** Very High (profile support is a major CLI feature)
+**Claude parity impact:** Low (Claude has no profile concept)
+
+---
+
+## Sprint 23 -- Agentic Transparency + Context Visibility (COMPLETED)
+
+**Theme:** Surface what the agent is doing and how much context it's using.
+
+**Why now:** Users had no visibility into tool call arguments, session token
+usage, or context window fill. Sprint 22 left five coherence bugs in the
+profile/workspace/model flow that also needed closing before the UI felt
+reliable.
+
+### Track A: Bugs
+- **Model picker ignores profile on switch.** `populateModelDropdown()` skipped
+  the profile's default model if `localStorage` had a saved preference. Fixed:
+  `switchToProfile()` now clears `hermes-webui-model` from localStorage and
+  applies the profile's default model from the switch response.
+- **Workspace list is a global file.** `workspaces.json` was process-global.
+  Fixed: workspace storage is now profile-local at `{profile_home}/webui_state/`.
+  Default profile uses global STATE_DIR for backward compatibility.
+- **`DEFAULT_WORKSPACE` is a startup singleton.** Frozen at boot. Fixed:
+  `get_last_workspace()` and `_profile_default_workspace()` now resolve
+  dynamically through the active profile's config.
+- **Session list shows all profiles.** Fixed: `renderSessionListFromCache()`
+  filters to `S.activeProfile` by default, with "Show N from other profiles"
+  toggle (modeled on the archived toggle).
+- **`switchToProfile()` doesn't refresh workspace list or sessions.** Fixed:
+  now calls `loadWorkspaceList()`, `renderSessionList()`, resets profile filter.
+
+### Track B: Features
+- **Profile-local workspace storage.** Each named profile stores its own
+  `workspaces.json` and `last_workspace.txt` under `{profile_home}/webui_state/`.
+  Falls back to global STATE_DIR for the default profile (preserves test
+  isolation and backward compat).
+- **Profile switch returns defaults.** `POST /api/profile/switch` response now
+  includes `default_model` and `default_workspace` so the frontend can apply
+  both in one round-trip.
+- **Session profile filter.** Session sidebar filters to active profile by
+  default. "Show N from other profiles" toggle reveals sessions from all
+  profiles. Resets on profile switch.
+
+### Track C: Architecture
+- `api/workspace.py`: Rewritten with `_profile_state_dir()`, `_workspaces_file()`,
+  `_last_workspace_file()`, `_profile_default_workspace()`. All lazy imports to
+  avoid circular deps.
+- `api/profiles.py`: `switch_profile()` returns `default_model` and
+  `default_workspace` from the new profile's config.yaml.
+- `static/panels.js`: `switchToProfile()` clears localStorage model key,
+  refreshes workspace list and session list, resets profile filter.
+- `static/sessions.js`: `_showAllProfiles` state variable, profile filter in
+  `renderSessionListFromCache()`, toggle UI.
+
+**Tests:** 8 new (test_sprint23.py). Total: 423.
+**Hermes CLI parity impact:** High (coherent profile behavior)
+**Claude parity impact:** Low
+
+---
+
+## Sprint 24 -- Web Polish + Bug Fix Pass (PLANNED)
+
+**Theme:** Stabilize, harden, and close the last meaningful web UI gaps before
+shifting focus to distribution. Goal is a release that's genuinely ready for
+wider user adoption -- no rough edges, no obvious missing pieces.
+
+**Why now:** Sprint 23 completed the core agentic transparency features. The
+remaining web roadmap items are diminishing-returns polish. Rather than
+grinding through marginal features, this sprint cleans up what's there, fixes
+bugs users will actually hit, and closes a few real gaps before recommending
+the app to others.
+
+### Track A: Bug Fixes
+- **Cron edit form has no skill picker.** Sprint 23 added skill picker to the
+  create form but not the edit form. cronEditSave() doesn't include skills in
+  the update body, so existing skills survive an edit but can't be changed.
+  Fix: add the same skill picker UI to the inline edit form and include
+  `skills` in the update POST body.
+- **S.lastUsage dead code.** messages.js sets `S.lastUsage` from `d.usage` at
+  done-time, but nothing reads it. The usage badge reads cumulative session
+  totals from `S.session.input_tokens` instead. Either wire `S.lastUsage` into
+  a per-turn display or remove the dead assignment.
+- **_cronSkillsCache never invalidated.** Skills picker shows stale data if
+  skills are added/removed mid-session. Add a cache-bust when the skills panel
+  is opened or a skill is saved/deleted.
+- **Tool args not shown on session reload.** Tool call cards in history show
+  name and result snippet but not the args (args only exist in the live SSE
+  event). Sprint 23 added args to the session JSON -- verify they're actually
+  rendering in the settled history cards.
+
+### Track B: Features
+- **Cron edit: skill picker parity.** As above -- make create and edit forms
+  identical in capability.
+- **Per-turn cost display.** The current usage badge shows cumulative session
+  totals attached to the last message, which is misleading. Either: (a) show
+  per-turn cost from `S.lastUsage` immediately after each response instead of
+  cumulative, or (b) show cumulative in the session topbar/header instead of
+  attached to a message bubble. Pick the cleaner UX.
+- **Virtual scroll for long session/skill lists.** When session count or skill
+  count gets large (100+), the sidebar becomes sluggish. Add a simple virtual
+  scroll or windowed render -- only render visible items + a buffer above/below.
+  CSS `contain: strict` + IntersectionObserver approach, no library needed.
+
+### Track C: Code Quality
+- Audit and remove any remaining dead code introduced by Sprint 23 (e.g. `S.lastUsage` assignment in messages.js that nothing reads).
+- Verify tool call args render correctly in settled history cards on session reload.
+- Update test count in all docs to match actual pytest output after sprint merges.
+
+**Estimated tests:** ~10 new. Target total: ~435.
+**Hermes CLI parity impact:** Low
+**Claude parity impact:** Low
+**User-facing value:** Medium -- removes rough edges that would bother new users
+
+---
+
+## Sprint 25 -- macOS Desktop Application (PLANNED)
+
+**Theme:** Native Mac desktop app. Single download, runs entirely offline,
+feels like a real application -- not a browser tab.
+
+**Why this matters:** The web UI requires an SSH tunnel or a server setup to
+use. A .app bundle that a user can double-click and immediately have a working
+Hermes interface is genuinely differentiating. No other open-source Hermes
+interface ships as a native Mac app. This is the highest-leverage remaining
+investment for user adoption.
+
+**Approach: Swift + WKWebView (not Electron)**
+
+The right architecture is a thin native Swift shell (~300-500 lines) that:
+1. Bundles the existing Python server and all api/ modules inside the .app
+2. Spawns the server as a subprocess on a random local port at launch
+3. Opens a WKWebView window pointed at that localhost port
+4. Handles Mac app lifecycle natively (dock icon, cmd+Q, window management,
+   app menu, about box)
+5. Bridges a small set of native Mac capabilities that WKWebView can't do
+
+**Why not Electron:** WKWebView is Safari's engine -- dramatically lighter than
+Chromium. No 200MB node_modules. No separate update daemon. The .app is ~30MB
+including the Python runtime, vs 150MB+ for Electron.
+
+**Why not full native Swift UI:** Would require rewriting the entire frontend
+from scratch. The web UI is already fast, dark-themed, and feature-complete.
+The thin shell approach gets 95% of the benefit at 5% of the cost.
+
+### Track A: Swift App Shell
+
+**Files to create:**
+```
+desktop/
+  HermesApp.swift          -- @main entry point, NSApp delegate
+  AppDelegate.swift        -- lifecycle: start server on launch, stop on quit
+  WindowController.swift   -- NSWindow + WKWebView setup, cmd shortcuts
+  ServerManager.swift      -- spawn/monitor Python subprocess, pick free port
+  MenuBuilder.swift        -- native app menu (File, Edit, View, Window, Help)
+  Info.plist               -- bundle ID, display name, version, icon
+  Assets.xcassets/         -- app icon (1024x1024 + all required sizes)
+  HermesApp.xcodeproj/     -- Xcode project file
+```
+
+**ServerManager.swift responsibilities:**
+- Find Python: check bundled runtime first, fall back to system python3
+- Pick a free port (bind to :0, read assigned port, close, use it)
+- Spawn: `python3 server.py --port {port}` as a child Process
+- Monitor: if server crashes, show an error sheet and offer restart
+- Shutdown: SIGTERM on app quit, wait up to 3s, then SIGKILL
+
+**WKWebView configuration:**
+- `allowsBackForwardNavigationGestures = false` (it's a single-page app)
+- `WKUserContentController` for JS bridge (native notifications, file picker)
+- Wait for server health check before loading (poll /health, show loading
+  spinner in the native window while waiting, typically <1s)
+- `userAgent` override so the server can detect desktop app context
+
+**Native menu items (beyond defaults):**
+- File > New Session (Cmd+N) -- calls JS `newSession()`
+- File > New Window (Cmd+Shift+N) -- opens second window with its own WKWebView
+- View > Toggle Sidebar (Cmd+Shift+S)
+- Window > Zoom, Minimize (standard)
+- Help > About Hermes, Check for Updates (links to GitHub releases page)
+
+### Track B: Python Bundling
+
+Two options, in order of preference:
+
+**Option A: Require system Python (simpler, recommended for v1)**
+- Check for `python3` at known paths: `/usr/bin/python3`, homebrew paths,
+  pyenv paths
+- If not found: show a one-time setup sheet with instructions
+- Pros: tiny download (~5MB for the Swift app + web assets), no bundling complexity
+- Cons: user needs Python installed (most developers do; target audience does too)
+
+**Option B: Bundle python-standalone (self-contained, larger)**
+- Use `python-build-standalone` (from Astral/uv project): pre-built Python
+  3.11 binaries, ~30MB compressed, no Xcode toolchain needed to build
+- Extract to `~/Library/Application Support/Hermes/python/` on first launch
+- Install `requirements.txt` via bundled pip into a local venv
+- Pros: zero dependencies, works on a clean Mac
+- Cons: first launch takes ~10-20s for extraction + pip install; ~30MB download
+
+**Recommendation:** Ship v1 with Option A. Add Option B as an optional
+"standalone" download for non-developers.
+
+### Track C: Distribution
+
+**GitHub Releases (primary):**
+- Build with `xcodebuild -scheme HermesApp -configuration Release -archivePath`
+- `xcodebuild -exportArchive` to produce a .app bundle
+- `hdiutil create` to produce a .dmg with drag-to-Applications installer UI
+- Upload .dmg as a GitHub Release asset via `gh release create`
+- CI: add `.github/workflows/mac-release.yml` -- trigger on `vX.Y.Z-mac` tag
+
+**Code signing:**
+- Without an Apple Developer account: distribute as unsigned, users must
+  right-click > Open on first launch (standard for open-source Mac apps)
+- With a free Apple Developer account: ad-hoc signing removes the Gatekeeper
+  warning without paying $99/year (no notarization, but much better UX)
+- With paid account ($99/year): full notarization, no warnings, direct download
+
+**Recommended for v1:** ad-hoc signing (free, good enough for early adopters).
+Document the right-click > Open workaround in the README for unsigned builds.
+
+**Universal binary (Intel + Apple Silicon):**
+```bash
+xcodebuild archive -scheme HermesApp -destination "generic/platform=macOS"
+```
+Both architectures in one .app. No separate downloads needed.
+
+### Track D: Native Integrations (v1 scope)
+
+**System notifications for cron completion:**
+- The web UI polls `/api/cron/alerts` and shows in-page banners
+- The Mac app can additionally post `UNUserNotificationCenter` notifications
+- JS bridge: `window.webkit.messageHandlers.notify.postMessage({title, body})`
+- Swift handler: posts a native notification with the cron job name and output
+  summary -- appears in Notification Center, works even when app is in background
+
+**File picker for workspace add:**
+- Currently: user types a path string into the workspace add form
+- Mac app: intercept workspace-add form submission, open `NSOpenPanel` instead,
+  return the selected path to the JS via `evaluateJavaScript`
+- Much better UX -- standard Mac folder picker, no typing paths
+
+**Dock badge for pending approvals:**
+- When an agent approval is waiting, set `NSApp.dockTile.badgeLabel = "1"`
+- Clear badge when approval is resolved
+- JS bridge fires when approval card appears/disappears
+
+**Menu bar mode (optional, v2):**
+- A small status bar item (beaker icon in menu bar) that opens a compact popover
+- Popover shows current session status, last message, quick-compose field
+- Useful for running Hermes in the background without a full window
+
+### Track E: Testing
+
+Since the Swift app is thin glue, most testing remains in the existing pytest
+suite (server still runs identically). New Swift-specific tests:
+- `ServerManagerTests.swift`: verify port picking, process spawn, health wait
+- UI tests via `XCUITest`: launch app, wait for WKWebView to load, verify
+  title bar shows "Hermes", verify /health responds
+- Smoke test in CI: `xcodebuild test -scheme HermesApp`
+
+### Implementation Order
+
+1. `ServerManager.swift` + basic `AppDelegate` -- get Python server spawning
+   and health-check working from Swift
+2. `WindowController.swift` -- WKWebView loading, loading spinner while
+   server starts
+3. App icon + Info.plist -- make it look like a real app
+4. `MenuBuilder.swift` -- native menus + keyboard shortcuts
+5. JS bridge for notifications -- most impactful native integration
+6. DMG build script + GitHub Actions CI
+7. (Optional) File picker bridge, dock badge
+
+### What to NOT do in v1
+
+- Windows or Linux wrapper (different toolchain; do Mac first, assess demand)
+- Full Swift/SwiftUI rewrite of the frontend (months of work, wrong tradeoff)
+- App Store submission (sandboxing breaks local server; not worth the effort)
+- Auto-update mechanism (GitHub releases + manual download is fine for v1)
+- Menu bar mode (cool but not v1 scope)
+
+### Files to create in the repo
+
+```
+desktop/mac/
+  HermesApp/
+    HermesApp.swift
+    AppDelegate.swift
+    WindowController.swift
+    ServerManager.swift
+    MenuBuilder.swift
+    Assets.xcassets/
+    Info.plist
+  HermesApp.xcodeproj/
+  README.md              -- build instructions, requirements, signing notes
+.github/workflows/
+  mac-release.yml        -- build + sign + upload DMG on tag push
+```
+
+The server code (`server.py`, `api/`, `static/`, `requirements.txt`) is
+referenced from the repo root -- no duplication. The .app bundle copies them
+at build time.
+
+**Estimated effort:** 2-3x a typical web sprint (new language, new toolchain,
+bundling complexity). Realistic for a focused weekend or a dedicated agent run
+with clear instructions.
+
+**Hermes CLI parity impact:** N/A (different distribution channel)
+**Claude parity impact:** Medium (Claude.app is a native Mac app)
+**User-facing value:** Very high -- lowers barrier to entry dramatically,
+genuinely differentiating for an open-source project

+## Sprint 26 -- Pluggable UI Themes (COMPLETED)
+
+**Theme:** Let users choose how the app looks -- light, dark, and custom color
+schemes. One-click switching, persistent preference, zero flicker on load.
+
+**Difficulty: Low-Medium.** The existing CSS is already 100% CSS-variable-driven
+off a single `:root` block. Every color, background, and accent in the entire UI
+is already a variable. Adding themes is mostly a matter of defining alternative
+`:root` overrides and wiring a picker -- not a rewrite. The main engineering
+work is flicker prevention on load and the settings UI.
+
+**Estimated effort:** 1 sprint, ~2 days of implementation. 8-12 new tests.
+
+---
+
+### Why now
+
+The UI ships only one dark theme. Contributors have asked for light mode. Power
+users want to match their terminal colorscheme. This is low-risk, high-value
+polish that makes the app feel more finished and more personal. It's also a
+good precedent-setter: once the theme system exists, community members can
+contribute new themes as a pure CSS addition with no Python changes needed.
+
+---
+
+### Design decisions
+
+**Themes are CSS-variable overrides, not separate stylesheets.** Each theme is
+a named `:root[data-theme="name"]` block. The base stylesheet stays untouched.
+Switching themes sets `document.documentElement.dataset.theme = name` in JS.
+No FOUC (flash of unstyled content), no stylesheet swap latency.
+
+**Theme preference persists server-side in `settings.json`.** Same mechanism
+as `send_key` and `show_token_usage`. The server includes `theme` in the
+`GET /api/settings` response. Boot.js reads it and applies before first paint.
+
+**Flicker prevention.** A tiny inline `<script>` in `<head>` (before the
+stylesheet link) reads `localStorage.getItem('hermes-theme')` and sets
+`document.documentElement.dataset.theme` synchronously. This prevents a
+dark-flash on light-mode users during the round-trip to `/api/settings`.
+The localStorage value is kept in sync whenever the user changes themes.
+
+**No third-party dependencies.** Pure CSS + vanilla JS. No theme library.
+
+---
+
+### Track A: Core theme system
+
+**1. CSS variable blocks in `static/style.css`**
+
+The existing `:root` block becomes the `dark` (default) theme. Add named
+theme blocks immediately after:
+
+```css
+/* ── Default (dark) theme ── already in :root ── */
+
+:root[data-theme="light"] {
+  --bg: #f5f5f7;
+  --sidebar: #e8e8ed;
+  --border: rgba(0,0,0,0.10);
+  --border2: rgba(0,0,0,0.16);
+  --text: #1c1c1e;
+  --muted: #6e6e80;
+  --accent: #c0392b;
+  --blue: #0a6dc2;
+  --gold: #a07a20;
+  --code-bg: #f0f0f5;
+}
+
+:root[data-theme="solarized"] {
+  --bg: #002b36;
+  --sidebar: #073642;
+  --border: rgba(255,255,255,0.08);
+  --border2: rgba(255,255,255,0.13);
+  --text: #839496;
+  --muted: #657b83;
+  --accent: #dc322f;
+  --blue: #268bd2;
+  --gold: #b58900;
+  --code-bg: #073642;
+}
+
+:root[data-theme="monokai"] {
+  --bg: #272822;
+  --sidebar: #1e1f1c;
+  --border: rgba(255,255,255,0.07);
+  --border2: rgba(255,255,255,0.12);
+  --text: #f8f8f2;
+  --muted: #75715e;
+  --accent: #f92672;
+  --blue: #66d9e8;
+  --gold: #e6db74;
+  --code-bg: #1e1f1c;
+}
+
+:root[data-theme="nord"] {
+  --bg: #2e3440;
+  --sidebar: #272c36;
+  --border: rgba(255,255,255,0.07);
+  --border2: rgba(255,255,255,0.12);
+  --text: #eceff4;
+  --muted: #9099aa;
+  --accent: #bf616a;
+  --blue: #81a1c1;
+  --gold: #ebcb8b;
+  --code-bg: #272c36;
+}
+```
+
+Additional theming notes:
+- `syntax-highlight` colors (Prism.js) are theme-independent (they come from the
+  CDN stylesheet) -- acceptable for v1.
+- The logo gradient (`linear-gradient(145deg,#e8a030,var(--accent))`) uses
+  `--accent` already so it adapts automatically.
+- Scrollbar colors and `::selection` backgrounds need explicit overrides in the
+  light theme to avoid dark scrollbars on a light background.
+
+**2. Flicker-prevention inline script in `static/index.html`**
+
+Immediately after `<head>` opens, before the stylesheet `<link>`:
+
+```html
+<script>
+(function(){
+  var t=localStorage.getItem('hermes-theme');
+  if(t && t!=='dark') document.documentElement.dataset.theme=t;
+})();
+</script>
+```
+
+This runs synchronously before the stylesheet parses. Zero flicker.
+
+**3. Theme loading in `static/boot.js`**
+
+In the existing `api('/api/settings')` call, read and apply the theme:
+
+```js
+const s = await api('/api/settings');
+window._sendKey = s.send_key || 'enter';
+window._showTokenUsage = !!s.show_token_usage;
+window._showCliSessions = !!s.show_cli_sessions;
+// Theme: apply server preference, update localStorage for flicker prevention
+const theme = s.theme || 'dark';
+document.documentElement.dataset.theme = theme;
+localStorage.setItem('hermes-theme', theme);
+```
+
+**4. Theme setting in `api/config.py`**
+
+```python
+_SETTINGS_DEFAULTS = {
+    ...
+    'theme': 'dark',  # active UI theme name
+    ...
+}
+_SETTINGS_ALLOWED_KEYS = set(_SETTINGS_DEFAULTS.keys()) - {'password_hash'}
+```
+
+No enum constraint on `theme` -- allows user-defined theme names to work
+without server changes.
+
+---
+
+### Track B: Theme picker UI
+
+**Settings panel addition (`static/index.html` + `static/panels.js`)**
+
+A `<select>` in the Settings panel, below the send-key picker:
+
+```html
+<div class="settings-field">
+  <label for="settingsTheme">Theme</label>
+  <select id="settingsTheme" ...>
+    <option value="dark">Dark (default)</option>
+    <option value="light">Light</option>
+    <option value="solarized">Solarized Dark</option>
+    <option value="monokai">Monokai</option>
+    <option value="nord">Nord</option>
+  </select>
+</div>
+```
+
+In `loadSettingsPanel()`:
+```js
+const themeSel = $('settingsTheme');
+if(themeSel) themeSel.value = settings.theme || 'dark';
+```
+
+In `saveSettings()`:
+```js
+body.theme = $('settingsTheme').value;
+```
+
+**Live preview on select change (no save required):**
+```js
+$('settingsTheme').addEventListener('change', e => {
+  document.documentElement.dataset.theme = e.target.value;
+  localStorage.setItem('hermes-theme', e.target.value);
+});
+```
+
+This gives instant visual feedback as the user clicks through options.
+The full settings save then persists it server-side.
+
+**`/theme` slash command (`static/commands.js`)**
+
+```js
+async function cmdTheme(arg) {
+  const themes = ['dark','light','solarized','monokai','nord'];
+  if(!arg || !themes.includes(arg)) {
+    showToast('Usage: /theme dark|light|solarized|monokai|nord');
+    return;
+  }
+  document.documentElement.dataset.theme = arg;
+  localStorage.setItem('hermes-theme', arg);
+  try { await api('/api/settings', {method:'POST', body: JSON.stringify({theme: arg})}); } catch(e) {}
+  showToast('Theme: ' + arg);
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+### Track C: Tests
+
+New test cases in `tests/test_sprint26.py`:
+
+1. `GET /api/settings` returns `theme: 'dark'` by default
+2. `POST /api/settings` with `{theme: 'light'}` persists and round-trips
+3. `POST /api/settings` with `{theme: 'nord'}` accepts any string (no enum gate)
+4. Theme value survives server restart (reads from `settings.json`)
+5. `/theme` command fires without error for each named theme
+6. `loadSettingsPanel()` populates the select with the current theme value
+7. Settings save includes theme in the POST body
+8. `data-theme` attribute is set on `<html>` before first paint (inline script)
+
+**Estimated new tests:** 8. Target total after sprint: ~443.
+
+---
+
+### What's out of scope
+
+- **Custom color editors** (hex pickers for each variable): saves that for v2.
+  The five shipped themes cover the main use cases. A custom theme can always
+  be added by dropping a CSS block with no code changes.
+- **Per-session themes**: single global preference is the right call for v1.
+- **System `prefers-color-scheme` sync**: nice-to-have, low priority. The
+  flicker-prevention script could be extended to read the media query if no
+  explicit preference is set.
+- **Prism.js theme switching**: the code-block syntax highlighting comes from
+  a CDN stylesheet. Swapping it requires a `<link>` swap and SRI re-check.
+  Defer to a future sprint; the default Prism Tomorrow theme works on all
+  current dark themes and is acceptable on light.
+
+---
+
+**Estimated tests:** 8 new. Target total: ~443.
+**Hermes CLI parity impact:** None
+**Claude parity impact:** Medium (Claude.ai has light/dark/system sync)
+**User-facing value:** High -- first thing many users ask for

 # Hermes Web UI: Browser Testing Plan
 
 > This document is for manual browser testing by you or by a Claude browser agent.
-> It covers every user-facing feature of the UI through Sprint 2.
+> It covers user-facing features of the UI through v0.50.21 and later releases.
 > Each section is written as a step-by-step test procedure with expected outcomes.
 > A browser agent (e.g. Claude with Chrome access) can execute this plan directly.
 >
 > Prerequisites: SSH tunnel is active on port 8787. Open http://localhost:8787 in browser.
 > Server health check: curl http://127.0.0.1:8787/health should return {"status":"ok"}.
+>
+> Automated coverage: 1353 tests collected via `pytest tests/ --collect-only -q`. Includes onboarding coverage for bootstrap/static wizard presence, real provider config persistence (`config.yaml` + `.env`), the `/api/onboarding/*` backend, the onboarding skip/existing-config guard, and CSS regression coverage for smooth thinking/tool card disclosure animation.
+> Run: `pytest tests/ -v --timeout=60`
+>
+> Local regression focus: verify that a previously closed workspace panel stays visually closed from first paint through boot completion on desktop refresh; there should be no brief open-then-close flash.

+## Sections Added Post-Sprint 10 (Sprints 11-19)
+
+The following features were added in Sprints 11-19 and need manual browser testing.
+Each has automated API-level tests in `tests/test_sprint{N}.py`.
+
+### Sprint 11: Multi-Provider Models
+- Open model dropdown. Verify models grouped by provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc.)
+- If custom `base_url` configured in config.yaml, verify local models appear in dropdown.
+- Switch model. Send a message. Verify response uses selected model.
+
+### Sprint 12: Settings + Pin + Import
+- Click the "Hermes WebUI" button in the sidebar footer. Control Center overlay opens with vertical section tabs on the left.
+- Change default model, save. Restart server. Verify setting persisted.
+- Pin a session (star icon in hover overlay). Verify it floats to top of list.
+- Export session as JSON. Import it back. Verify messages restored.
+
+### Sprint 13: Alerts + Session QoL
+- Duplicate a session (copy icon in hover overlay). Verify "(copy)" title.
+- Browser tab title updates to active session name. Switch sessions — title changes.
+
+### Sprint 14: Visual Polish + Workspace Ops
+- Create a mermaid code block in a response. Verify diagram renders inline.
+- Message timestamps visible next to role labels (hover for full date).
+- Double-click a file in workspace panel to rename. Enter saves, Escape cancels.
+- Create a folder via folder icon in workspace header.
+- Add `#tag` to session title. Verify tag chip appears in sidebar. Click to filter.
+- Archive a session. Verify it disappears. Toggle "Show archived" to see it.
+
+### Sprint 15: Session Projects
+- Click "+" in project bar to create a project. Type name, Enter.
+- Click a project chip to filter sessions.
+- Hover a session → click folder icon → assign to project via picker.
+- Verify colored left border appears on assigned session.
+- Double-click project chip to rename. Right-click to delete.
+- Code blocks have a "Copy" button. Click → "Copied!" feedback.
+- Messages with 2+ tool cards show "Expand all / Collapse all" toggle.
+
+### Sprint 16: Sidebar Visual Polish
+- Session titles use full sidebar width (no truncated space for hidden icons).
+- Hover a session → a dotted actions trigger appears on the right.
+- Click the dotted trigger → a dropdown opens with pin, project, archive, duplicate, and delete actions.
+- All icons are monochrome SVGs (not emoji). Consistent across platforms.
+- Pinned sessions show small gold star inline. Unpinned = no star, full title width.
+- Active session has gold highlight (not blue).
+- Double-click to rename → session actions hide during rename.
+
+### Sprint 17: Workspace + Slash Commands + Send Key
+- Navigate into a subdirectory. Breadcrumb bar appears with clickable segments.
+- Up button in panel header navigates to parent. Hidden at root.
+- Type `/` in composer → autocomplete dropdown appears. Arrow keys navigate.
+- Type `/help` → lists all commands. `/clear` clears conversation. `/model` switches.
+- Settings panel: change send key to Ctrl+Enter. Verify Enter inserts newline.
+
+### Sprint 18: Thinking + Tree View + Preview Fix
+- View a file in workspace. Click a breadcrumb or folder → preview closes automatically.
+- Click a directory toggle arrow (▸) → expands in-place showing children.
+- Click again (▾) → collapses. Double-click navigates into it (breadcrumb view).
+- If model returns thinking blocks (Claude extended thinking), verify collapsible gold card appears above response.
+- Verify the thinking card has a tinted background, visible border, and rounded corners like a tool card, but in the gold thinking palette.
+- Open and close a thinking card. Verify the caret rotation and the content reveal both animate smoothly instead of snapping open.
+
+### UI Polish: Tool Card Disclosure Animation
+- Trigger a response with at least one completed tool call card.
+- Open and close the tool call card. Verify the caret rotates smoothly and the args/result section animates open and closed instead of appearing instantly.
+- If a turn has 2+ tool cards, use "Expand all / Collapse all" and verify the same smooth animation applies to every card in the group.
+
+### Sprint 19: Auth + Security
+- No password set: everything works as normal. No login page.
+- Set `HERMES_WEBUI_PASSWORD=test` env var. Restart. All pages redirect to `/login`.
+- Login page: minimal card, password field, "Sign in" button.
+- Enter correct password → redirected to `/`. Cookie set (24h).
+- Enter wrong password → error message, stay on login page.
+- Settings panel: set password via "Access Password" field. Auth activates.
+- "Sign Out" button visible when auth active. Click → redirected to /login.
+- API calls without auth cookie → 401 JSON response.
+- Check response headers: `X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff`, `X-Frame-Options: DENY`.
+
+### Sprint 20: Voice Input + Send Button
+- Mic button visible in composer (Chrome/Edge). Hidden in Firefox.
+- Tap mic → button turns red with pulse, "Listening..." indicator appears.
+- Speak → live transcription appears in textarea.
+- Stop speaking → auto-stops after ~2s silence. Text stays editable.
+- Tap mic again or Send → stops recording, sends text.
+- Type text, then tap mic → spoken text appends to existing text (doesn't replace).
+- Send button hidden when textarea is empty. Appears with pop-in animation when typing.
+- Send button is icon-only circle (no "Send" text label). Blue with glow.
+- Attach a file with no text → send button appears.
+- Send message → button disappears after textarea clears.
+- While agent is responding → send button hidden.
+
+### Sprint 21: Mobile Responsive + Docker
+- Open on mobile viewport (<640px): hamburger icon visible in topbar.
+- Tap hamburger → sidebar slides in from left with backdrop overlay.
+- Tap outside sidebar → closes. Tap a session → closes and loads session.
+- Sidebar top nav remains visible inside the mobile drawer; includes Chat/Tasks/Skills/Memory/Spaces/Profile tabs.
+- Tap "Tasks" in the drawer nav → Tasks panel opens in the sidebar drawer.
+- Tap "Chat" in the drawer nav → sidebar closes and chat is unobstructed in the main area.
+- Files button in topbar → right panel slides in from right.
+- No fixed mobile bottom nav; chat transcript and composer use the reclaimed vertical space.
+- All touch targets are at least 44px (session items, buttons, icons).
+- Desktop viewport (>640px): no hamburger or mobile overlay; desktop layout unchanged.
+- Docker: `docker compose up -d` starts server on port 8787.
+- Docker: session data persists across container restarts (named volume).
+
+### Sprint 22: Multi-Profile Support
+- Profile chip in topbar (purple accent). Click → dropdown with all profiles.
+- Dropdown shows gateway status dots, model info, skill count per profile.
+- Click a profile → switches; model dropdown, skills, memory, cron refresh.
+- "Manage profiles" link opens Profiles sidebar panel.
+- Profiles panel: cards with name, model, provider, skill count, API key status.
+- "Use" button switches profile. Delete button removes non-default profiles.
+- "+ New profile" form: name validation (lowercase + hyphens), clone config checkbox.
+- Create profile → appears in list and dropdown.
+- Delete profile → confirmation modal. Auto-switches to default if deleting active.
+- Attempt switch while agent busy → blocked with toast message.
+- With hermes-agent not installed → only default profile shown, graceful fallback.
+
+---
+
+## Slash command parity (manual checklist)
+
+For each batch-1 command, run via webui slash menu AND via `hermes` CLI in the
+same `HERMES_HOME` (when applicable) and verify identical effect.
+

+# Hermes Web UI — Themes
+
+Hermes Web UI supports pluggable color themes. Seven themes ship built-in, and
+you can create your own with pure CSS — no Python changes needed.
+
+---
+
+## Switching Themes
+
+**Settings panel:** Click the gear icon, select a theme from the dropdown. The
+preview is instant — the UI updates as you click through options.
+
+**Slash command:** Type `/theme dark` or `/theme light` in the composer.
+
+**Themes persist** across page reloads and server restarts (stored in
+`settings.json` server-side, with `localStorage` for flicker-free loading).
+
+---
+
+## Built-in Themes
+
+| Theme | Description |
+|-------|-------------|
+| **Dark** (default) | Deep navy/indigo with muted blue accents. Easy on the eyes for long sessions. |
+| **Light** | Warm off-white with dark text. High contrast for bright environments. |
+| **Slate** | Warm charcoal, lighter than Dark. Easier on the eyes for extended use. |
+| **Solarized Dark** | Ethan Schoonover's classic dark palette. Teal background, warm accents. |
+| **Monokai** | Warm dark theme inspired by the Monokai editor scheme. Green/pink accents. |
+| **Nord** | Arctic blue-gray palette from the Nord color system. Calm and minimal. |
+| **OLED** | True black (#000) backgrounds for OLED displays. Minimizes glow and burn-in risk. |
+| **Custom themes** | Any string accepted by `settings.json`, `POST /api/settings`, and `/theme` if added to the picker/command list. Pure CSS variables only. |
+
+---
+
+## Creating a Custom Theme
+
+A theme is a CSS block that overrides the color variables. Add it to
+`static/style.css` (or a separate file that you link after the main stylesheet).
+
+### Step 1: Define your theme block
+
+Every color in the UI comes from these CSS variables:
+
+```css
+:root[data-theme="your-theme-name"] {
+  /* Core palette */
+  --bg: #1a1a2e;          /* Main background */
+  --sidebar: #16213e;      /* Sidebar background */
+  --border: rgba(255,255,255,0.08);   /* Subtle borders */
+  --border2: rgba(255,255,255,0.14);  /* Stronger borders */
+  --text: #e8e8f0;         /* Primary text color */
+  --muted: #8888aa;        /* Secondary/muted text */
+  --accent: #e94560;       /* Accent color (errors, warnings, delete) */
+  --blue: #7cb9ff;         /* Primary action color (links, active states) */
+  --gold: #c9a84c;         /* Secondary accent (pinned items, gold highlights) */
+  --code-bg: #0d1117;      /* Code block background */
+
+  /* Surface and chrome (required for full theme polish) */
+  --surface: #1a2535;      /* Dropdowns, popups, toast, approval card */
+  --topbar-bg: rgba(22,33,62,.98);   /* Topbar background */
+  --main-bg: rgba(26,26,46,0.5);    /* Main chat area background */
+  --input-bg: rgba(255,255,255,.04); /* Input/button subtle backgrounds */
+  --hover-bg: rgba(255,255,255,.06); /* Hover state backgrounds */
+  --focus-ring: rgba(124,185,255,.35); /* Focus border color */
+  --focus-glow: rgba(124,185,255,.08); /* Focus box-shadow glow */
+
+  /* Typography (required for readable text across themes) */
+  --strong: #fff;          /* Bold text in messages */
+  --em: #c9c9e8;           /* Italic text in messages */
+  --code-text: #f0c27f;    /* Inline code text color */
+  --code-inline-bg: rgba(0,0,0,.35); /* Inline code background */
+  --pre-text: #e2e8f0;     /* Code block text color */
+}
+```
+
+The **core palette** controls the overall mood. The **surface/chrome** and
+**typography** variables are part of the standard theme contract — define all
+of them for a complete theme.
+
+For **light themes**, you also need `:root[data-theme="name"]` overrides
+for elements that use `rgba(255,255,255,.XX)` hover/border effects (these
+are invisible on light backgrounds). See the built-in light theme for the
+full pattern — it overrides ~45 selectors for proper dark-on-light contrast
+on hover states, borders, chips, role labels, session items, and
+interactive elements.
+
+### Step 2: Add it to the theme picker (optional)
+
+To make your theme appear in the Settings dropdown, add an `<option>` to the
+theme `<select>` in `static/index.html`:
+
+```html
+<option value="your-theme-name">Your Theme Name</option>
+```
+
+And update the `/theme` command's valid theme list in `static/commands.js`.
+
+### Step 3: Test it
+
+Switch to your theme via `/theme your-theme-name` or the Settings panel.
+Check these areas:
+- Sidebar session list (hover states, active state, project borders)
+- Message bubbles (user vs assistant styling)
+- Code blocks (background contrast, copy button visibility)
+- Tool cards (running indicator, expand/collapse)
+- Settings panel and login page
+- Mobile layout (hamburger sidebar, bottom nav)
+
+### Tips
+
+- **Light themes** need scrollbar and selection overrides, plus the full
+  text/code set (`--strong`, `--em`, `--code-text`, `--code-inline-bg`,
+  `--pre-text`) or they will look broken.
+- The **logo gradient** uses `--accent` automatically, so it adapts to your
+  theme without extra work.
+- **Prism.js syntax highlighting** uses its own CDN stylesheet (Tomorrow theme).
+  It works well on dark themes; on light themes the contrast is acceptable but
+  not perfect. Custom Prism theme support is planned for a future update.
+- **No server changes needed.** The `theme` setting in `settings.json` accepts
+  any string — your custom theme name will persist without code changes.
+
+---
+
+## How Themes Work Internally
+
+1. Each theme is a `:root[data-theme="name"]` CSS block that overrides variables.
+2. Switching themes sets `document.documentElement.dataset.theme = name` in JS.
+3. A tiny inline `<script>` in `<head>` reads `localStorage` before the
+   stylesheet loads — this prevents a flash of the wrong theme on page load.
+4. The theme preference is saved server-side via `POST /api/settings` and
+   loaded on boot via `GET /api/settings`.
+5. The `/theme` command and Settings dropdown both update the DOM, localStorage,
+   and server settings simultaneously.
+
+---
+
+## Contributing a Theme
+
+To contribute a new built-in theme:
+
+1. Add your `:root[data-theme="name"]` block to `static/style.css`
+2. Add the `<option>` to the Settings panel in `static/index.html`
+3. Add the theme name to the valid list in `cmdTheme()` in `static/commands.js`
+4. Test on desktop and mobile
+5. Open a PR — themes are pure CSS additions with no backend changes needed

+    Today an assistant turn is a flat stream: thinking card → tool cards → answer, all stacked
+    inline with equal visual weight. The proposal wraps the execution history in a
+    <code>.p2s-stage1</code> container with a <em>worklog bar</em> as its header, and marks the
+    final answer as <code>.p2s-answer</code>. The same DOM renders three ways:
+  </p>
+  <ul class="doc-note" style="padding-left:18px;list-style:disc;">
+    <li><b>Live</b> — worklog shows <em>Working… 0:42 · 2 tools</em> with a pulsing dot; history is fully visible.</li>
+    <li><b>Settled</b> — worklog collapses to a single line (<em>Worked 1:42 · 4 tools · 2 thinking</em>); final answer sits below as the calm conclusion.</li>
+    <li><b>Settled + opened</b> — user clicks the worklog to re-expand the history for audit.</li>

+Tests for GitHub issue #357: Docker container fails to start without internet access.
+
+Structural tests — verify Dockerfile and docker_init.bash contain the expected
+patterns for pre-installed uv and workspace permission fixes.
+
+Two problems fixed:
+1. uv was downloaded at container startup; fails in air-gapped / firewalled environments.
+   Fix: pre-install uv in the Docker image at build time (system-wide in /usr/local/bin).
+2. workspace directory created with plain mkdir (as root); bind-mount dirs created by
+   Docker as root are unwritable by the hermeswebui user.
+   Fix: sudo mkdir + sudo chown for workspace directory.
