# =============================================================================
# TERMINAL TOOL CONFIGURATION (mini-swe-agent backend)
# =============================================================================
# Backend type: "local", "singularity", "docker", "modal", or "ssh"
# Terminal backend is configured in ~/.hermes/config.yaml (terminal.backend).
# Use 'hermes setup' or 'hermes config set terminal.backend docker' to change.
# Supported: local, docker, singularity, modal, ssh
#
# Only override here if you need to force a backend without touching config.yaml:
# TERMINAL_ENV=local

# Container images (for singularity/docker/modal backends)
# TERMINAL_DOCKER_IMAGE=nikolaik/python-nodejs:python3.11-nodejs20
# TERMINAL_SINGULARITY_IMAGE=docker://nikolaik/python-nodejs:python3.11-nodejs20
TERMINAL_MODAL_IMAGE=nikolaik/python-nodejs:python3.11-nodejs20


# Working directory for terminal commands
# For local backend: "." means current directory (resolved automatically)
# For remote backends (ssh/docker/modal/singularity): use an absolute path
#   INSIDE the target environment, or leave unset for the backend's default
#   (/root for modal, / for docker, ~ for ssh). Do NOT use a host-local path.
# Usually managed by config.yaml (terminal.cwd) — uncomment to override
# TERMINAL_CWD=.

# Default command timeout in seconds
TERMINAL_TIMEOUT=60

# Cleanup inactive environments after this many seconds
TERMINAL_LIFETIME_SECONDS=300

# =============================================================================
# SSH REMOTE EXECUTION (for TERMINAL_ENV=ssh)
# =============================================================================
# Run terminal commands on a remote server via SSH.
# Agent code stays on your machine, commands execute remotely.
#
# SECURITY BENEFITS:
# - Agent cannot read your .env file (API keys protected)
# - Agent cannot modify its own code
# - Remote server acts as isolated sandbox
# - Can safely configure passwordless sudo on remote
#
# TERMINAL_SSH_HOST=192.168.1.100
# TERMINAL_SSH_USER=agent
# TERMINAL_SSH_PORT=22
# TERMINAL_SSH_KEY=~/.ssh/id_rsa

# =============================================================================
# SUDO SUPPORT (works with ALL terminal backends)
# =============================================================================
# If set, enables sudo commands by piping password via `sudo -S`.
# Works with: local, docker, singularity, modal, and ssh backends.
# 
# SECURITY WARNING: Password stored in plaintext. Only use on trusted machines.
# 
# ALTERNATIVES:
# - For SSH backend: Configure passwordless sudo on the remote server
# - For containers: Run as root inside the container (no sudo needed)
# - For local: Configure /etc/sudoers for specific commands
# - For CLI: Leave unset - you'll be prompted interactively with 45s timeout
#
# SUDO_PASSWORD=your_password_here

# =============================================================================
# MODAL CLOUD BACKEND (Optional - for TERMINAL_ENV=modal)
# =============================================================================
# Modal uses CLI authentication, not environment variables.
# Run: pip install modal && modal setup
# This will authenticate via browser and store credentials locally.
# No API key needed in .env - Modal handles auth automatically.

# =============================================================================
# BROWSER TOOL CONFIGURATION (agent-browser + Browserbase)
# =============================================================================
# Browser automation requires Browserbase cloud service for remote browser execution.
# This allows the agent to navigate websites, fill forms, and extract information.
#
# STEALTH MODES:
# - Basic Stealth: ALWAYS active (random fingerprints, auto CAPTCHA solving)
# - Advanced Stealth: Requires BROWSERBASE_ADVANCED_STEALTH=true (Scale Plan only)

# Browserbase API Key - Cloud browser execution
# Get at: https://browserbase.com/
BROWSERBASE_API_KEY=

# Browserbase Project ID - From your Browserbase dashboard
BROWSERBASE_PROJECT_ID=

# Enable residential proxies for better CAPTCHA solving (default: true)
# Routes traffic through residential IPs, significantly improves success rate
BROWSERBASE_PROXIES=true

# Enable advanced stealth mode (default: false, requires Scale Plan)
# Uses custom Chromium build to avoid bot detection altogether
BROWSERBASE_ADVANCED_STEALTH=false

# Browser session timeout in seconds (default: 300)
# Sessions are cleaned up after this duration of inactivity
BROWSER_SESSION_TIMEOUT=300

# Browser inactivity timeout - auto-cleanup inactive sessions (default: 120 = 2 min)
# Browser sessions are automatically closed after this period of no activity
BROWSER_INACTIVITY_TIMEOUT=120

# =============================================================================
# SESSION LOGGING
# =============================================================================
# Session trajectories are automatically saved to logs/ directory
# Format: logs/session_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS_UUID.json
# Contains full conversation history in trajectory format for debugging/replay

# =============================================================================
# VOICE TRANSCRIPTION & OPENAI TTS
# =============================================================================
# Required for voice message transcription (Whisper) and OpenAI TTS voices.
# Uses OpenAI's API directly (not via OpenRouter).
# Named VOICE_TOOLS_OPENAI_KEY to avoid interference with OpenRouter.
# Get at: https://platform.openai.com/api-keys

# automatically summarized to free up space.
#
# Context compression is configured in ~/.hermes/config.yaml under compression:
# CONTEXT_COMPRESSION_ENABLED=true        # Enable auto-compression (default: true)
