Three categories of cleanup, all zero-behavioral-change:
1. F-strings without placeholders (154 fixes across 29 files)
- Converted f'...' to '...' where no {expression} was present
- Heaviest files: run_agent.py (24), cli.py (20), honcho_integration/cli.py (34)
2. Simplify defensive patterns in run_agent.py
- Added explicit self._is_anthropic_oauth = False in __init__ (before
the api_mode branch that conditionally sets it)
- Replaced 7x getattr(self, '_is_anthropic_oauth', False) with direct
self._is_anthropic_oauth (attribute always initialized now)
- Added _is_openrouter_url() and _is_anthropic_url() helper methods
- Replaced 3 inline 'openrouter' in self._base_url_lower checks
3. Remove dead code in small files
- hermes_cli/claw.py: removed unused 'total' computation
- tools/fuzzy_match.py: removed unused strip_indent() function and
pattern_stripped variable

E2E PTY: banner clean, tool calls work, zero garbled ANSI
Centralizes two widely-duplicated patterns into hermes_constants.py:
1. get_hermes_home() — Path resolution for ~/.hermes (HERMES_HOME env var)
- Was copy-pasted inline across 30+ files as:
Path(os.getenv("HERMES_HOME", Path.home() / ".hermes"))
- Now defined once in hermes_constants.py (zero-dependency module)
- hermes_cli/config.py re-exports it for backward compatibility
- Removed local wrapper functions in honcho_integration/client.py,
tools/website_policy.py, tools/tirith_security.py, hermes_cli/uninstall.py
2. parse_reasoning_effort() — Reasoning effort string validation
- Was copy-pasted in cli.py, gateway/run.py, cron/scheduler.py
- Same validation logic: check against (xhigh, high, medium, low, minimal, none)
- Now defined once in hermes_constants.py, called from all 3 locations
- Warning log for unknown values kept at call sites (context-specific)

Multiple Hermes installations on the same machine now get unique
systemd service names:
- Default ~/.hermes → hermes-gateway (backward compatible)
- Custom HERMES_HOME → hermes-gateway-<8-char-hash>
Changes:
- Add get_service_name() in hermes_cli/gateway.py that derives a
deterministic service name from HERMES_HOME via SHA256
- Replace all hardcoded 'hermes-gateway' systemd references with
get_service_name() across gateway.py, main.py, status.py, uninstall.py
- Add HERMES_HOME env var to both user and system systemd unit templates
so the gateway process uses the correct installation
- Update tests to use get_service_name() in assertions
- Updated the README to include a new banner image and changed the title emoji from 🦋 to ⚕.
- Modified various CLI outputs and scripts to reflect the new branding, ensuring consistency in the use of the ⚕ emoji.
- Added a new banner image asset for enhanced visual appeal during installation and setup processes.
- Introduced a new `uninstall` command in the CLI for the Hermes Agent, allowing users to remove the agent while optionally retaining configuration files for future reinstallation.
- Updated AGENTS.md and README.md to include the new uninstall functionality, enhancing user guidance on available commands and their purposes.
- Improved command-line interface with detailed help options for the uninstall process, including flags for full removal and confirmation prompts.
