Major reorganization of the documentation site for better discoverability
and navigation. 94 pages across 8 top-level sections (was 5).
Structural changes:
- Promote Features from 3-level-deep subcategory to top-level section
with new Overview hub page categorizing all 26 feature pages
- Promote Messaging Platforms from User Guide subcategory to top-level
section, add platform comparison matrix (13 platforms x 7 features)
- Create new Integrations section with hub page, grouping MCP, ACP,
API Server, Honcho, Provider Routing, Fallback Providers
- Extract AI provider content (626 lines) from configuration.md into
dedicated integrations/providers.md — configuration.md drops from
1803 to 1178 lines
- Subcategorize Developer Guide into Architecture, Extending, Internals
- Rename "User Guide" to "Using Hermes" for top-level items
Orphan fixes (7 pages now reachable via sidebar):
- build-a-hermes-plugin.md added to Guides
- sms.md added to Messaging Platforms
- context-references.md added to Features > Core
- plugins.md added to Features > Core
- git-worktrees.md added to Using Hermes
- checkpoints-and-rollback.md added to Using Hermes
- checkpoints.md (30-line stub) deleted, superseded by
checkpoints-and-rollback.md (203 lines)
New files:
- integrations/index.md — Integrations hub page
- integrations/providers.md — AI provider setup (extracted)
- user-guide/features/overview.md — Features hub page
Broken link fixes:
- quickstart.md, faq.md: update context-length-detection anchors
- configuration.md: update checkpoints link
- overview.md: fix checkpoint link path
Docusaurus build verified clean (zero broken links/anchors).
The plugin system defined six lifecycle hooks but only pre_tool_call and
post_tool_call were invoked. This activates the remaining four so that
external plugins (e.g. memory systems) can hook into the conversation
loop without touching core code.
Hook semantics:
- on_session_start: fires once when a new session is created
- pre_llm_call: fires once per turn before the tool-calling loop;
plugins can return {"context": "..."} to inject into the ephemeral
system prompt (not cached, not persisted)
- post_llm_call: fires once per turn after the loop completes, with
user_message and assistant_response for sync/storage
- on_session_end: fires at the end of every run_conversation call
invoke_hook() now returns a list of non-None callback return values,
enabling pre_llm_call context injection while remaining backward
compatible (existing hooks that return None are unaffected).

* feat: config-gated /verbose command for messaging gateway
Add gateway_config_gate field to CommandDef, allowing cli_only commands
to be conditionally available in the gateway based on a config value.
- CommandDef gains gateway_config_gate: str | None — a config dotpath
that, when truthy, overrides cli_only for gateway surfaces
- /verbose uses gateway_config_gate='display.tool_progress_command'
- Default is off (cli_only behavior preserved)
- When enabled, /verbose cycles tool_progress mode (off/new/all/verbose)
in the gateway, saving to config.yaml — same cycle as the CLI
- Gateway helpers (help, telegram menus, slack mapping) dynamically
check config to include/exclude config-gated commands
- GATEWAY_KNOWN_COMMANDS always includes config-gated commands so
the gateway recognizes them and can respond appropriately
- Handles YAML 1.1 bool coercion (bare 'off' parses as False)
- 8 new tests for the config gate mechanism + gateway handler
* docs: document gateway_config_gate and /verbose messaging support
- AGENTS.md: add gateway_config_gate to CommandDef fields
- slash-commands.md: note /verbose can be enabled for messaging, update Notes
- configuration.md: add tool_progress_command to display section + usage note
- cli.md: cross-link to config docs for messaging enablement
- messaging/index.md: show tool_progress_command in config snippet
- plugins.md: add gateway_config_gate to register_command parameter table
The hooks page only documented gateway event hooks (HOOK.yaml system).
The plugins page listed plugin hooks (pre_tool_call, etc.) that weren't
referenced from the hooks page, which was confusing.
Changes:
- hooks.md: Add overview table showing both hook systems
- hooks.md: Add Plugin Hooks section with available hooks, callback
signatures, and example
- hooks.md: Add missing session:end gateway event (emitted but undocumented)
- hooks.md: Mark pre_llm_call, post_llm_call, on_session_start,
on_session_end as planned (defined in VALID_HOOKS but not yet invoked)
- hooks.md: Update info box to cross-reference plugin hooks
- hooks.md: Fix heading hierarchy (gateway content as subsections)
- plugins.md: Add cross-reference to hooks page for full details
- plugins.md: Mark planned hooks as (planned)
