New tool lets Hermes persist conclusions about the user (preferences,
corrections, project context) directly to Honcho via the conclusions
API. Feeds into the user's peer card and representation.
Explain what context vs dialectic actually do in plain language:
context = raw memory retrieval, dialectic = AI-to-AI inference
for session continuity. Describe what user/AI peer cards are.
The OpenAI API returns content: null on assistant messages with tool
calls. msg.get('content', '') returns None when the key exists with
value None, causing TypeError on len(), string concatenation, and
.strip() in downstream code paths.
Fixed 4 locations that process conversation messages:
- agent/auxiliary_client.py:84 — None passed to API calls
- cli.py:1288 — crash on content[:200] and len(content)
- run_agent.py:3444 — crash on None.strip()
- honcho_integration/session.py:445 — 'None' rendered in transcript
13 other instances were verified safe (already protected, only process
user/tool messages, or use the safe pattern).
Pattern: msg.get('content', '') → msg.get('content') or ''

When users set HONCHO_API_KEY via `hermes config set` or environment
variable, they expect the integration to activate. Previously, the
`enabled` flag defaulted to `false` when reading from global config,
requiring users to also explicitly enable Honcho.
This change auto-enables Honcho when:
- An API key is present (from config file or env var)
- AND `enabled` is not explicitly set to `false` in the config
Users who want to disable Honcho while keeping the API key can still
set `enabled: false` in their config.
Also adds unit tests for the auto-enable behavior.
When Honcho is active:
- System prompt uses Honcho prefetch instead of USER.md
- memory tool target=user add routes to Honcho
- MEMORY.md untouched in all cases
When disabled, everything works as before.
Also wires up contextTokens config to cap prefetch size.
Opt-in persistent cross-session user modeling via Honcho. Reads
~/.honcho/config.json as single source of truth (shared with
Claude Code, Cursor, and other Honcho-enabled tools). Zero impact
when disabled or unconfigured.
- honcho_integration/ package (client, session manager, peer resolution)
- Host-based config resolution matching claude-honcho/cursor-honcho pattern
- Prefetch user context into system prompt per conversation turn
- Sync user/assistant messages to Honcho after each exchange
- query_user_context tool for mid-conversation dialectic reasoning
- Gated activation: requires ~/.honcho/config.json with enabled=true
