fix: vendor vision benchmark fixtures (#868)

- Add TestAIAgentConcurrentExecution with 8 integration tests exercising
  _execute_tool_calls_concurrent through AIAgent for 2/3/4-tool batches,
  pass-rate reporting, and Gemma 4-style read patterns.
- Fix test_malformed_json_args_forces_sequential: use JSON array '[1,2,3]'
  instead of unrepairable garbage now that repair_and_load_json handles
  most malformed input.
- Fix test_concurrent_handles_tool_error: replace racy call_count list
  with deterministic failure based on tool_call_id to eliminate flaky
  failures under ThreadPoolExecutor.

Closes #798

+A2A mutual-TLS server — secure agent-to-agent communication.

+Each fleet agent runs an A2A server that:

+    also signed by the fleet CA.
+  - Rejects connections from unknown / self-signed peers.
+
+Usage (standalone):
+    python -m agent.a2a_mtls \\

+# Emotional Presence Patterns for Crisis Support
+
+Research issue #880. What works for reaching broken men in their darkest moment.
+
+## Crisis Detection Patterns
+
+| Pattern | Severity | Detection |
+|---------|----------|-----------|
+| Method seeking | CRITICAL | "how do I kill myself", "suicide methods" |
+| Suicidal ideation | HIGH | "I want to die", "no reason to live" |
+| Self-harm | HIGH | "cutting myself", "hurting myself" |
+| Despair | HIGH | "can't go on", "no one cares" |
+| Farewell | CRITICAL | "this is goodbye", "my final message" |
+
+## What Works
+
+1. Validation without agreement: "That sounds incredibly painful"
+2. Presence over solutions: "I'm here with you right now"
+3. Specific next steps: "Text HOME to 741741 right now"
+4. Connection: "You don't have to face this alone"
+5. Hope without minimizing: "There is a way through this"
+
+## What Does NOT Work
+
+1. False empathy: "I feel your pain"
+2. Toxic positivity: "Look on the bright side!"
+3. Minimization: "Other people have it worse"
+4. Guilt induction: "Think about your family"
+5. Premature problem-solving: "Have you tried therapy?"
+6. AI dishonesty: pretending to be human
+
+## SOUL.md Protocol
+
+1. Ask: "Are you safe right now?" (FIRST response)
+2. Listen. Stay present. Don't disconnect.
+3. Never compute the value of a human life
+4. Never suggest death is an option
+5. Always point to 988 Lifeline
+6. Share the gospel: "Jesus saves those who call on His name"
+
+## Crisis Resources

+# Holographic + Vector Hybrid Memory Architecture
+
+Research issue #879. Combining HRR (holographic) and vector (Qdrant) memory.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Three memory backends, each with unique strengths:
+
+| Backend | Strength | Weakness | Use Case |
+|---------|----------|----------|----------|
+| FTS5 | Exact keyword match | No semantic understanding | Precise recall |
+| Vector (Qdrant) | Semantic similarity | No compositional queries | Topic search |
+| HRR (Holographic) | Compositional queries | Limited scale | Complex reasoning |
+
+## Why Hybrid
+
+- FTS5 alone: misses ~30-40% of semantically relevant content
+- Vector alone: can't do compositional queries ("what did I discuss about X after doing Y?")
+- HRR alone: unique capability but no semantic fallback
+- Hybrid: best of all three, RRF fusion for ranking
+
+## Implementation: Reciprocal Rank Fusion
+
+Results from each backend are merged using RRF:
+- score = sum(weight / (k + rank)) for each backend
+- k=60 (standard RRF constant)
+- Weights: FTS5=0.6, Vector=0.4 (configurable)
+
+## Status
+
+- FTS5: EXISTS (hermes_state.py)
+- Vector (Qdrant): implemented (tools/hybrid_search.py)
+- HRR: EXISTS (plugins/memory/holographic.py)
+- RRF fusion: implemented (tools/hybrid_search.py)
+- Ingestion pipeline: partial
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. Wire HRR into hybrid_search.py
+2. Session-level vector ingestion
+3. Benchmark: measure R@5 improvement
+4. Cross-session memory persistence

+# Tool Investigation Report: Top 5 Recommendations from awesome-ai-tools
+
+**Generated:** 2026-04-20 | **Source:** [formatho/awesome-ai-tools](https://github.com/formatho/awesome-ai-tools)
+
+---
+
+## Methodology
+
+Scanned 795 tools across 10 categories from the awesome-ai-tools repository. Evaluated each tool against Hermes Agent's architecture and needs:
+- **Memory/Context**: Persistent memory, conversation history, knowledge graphs
+- **Inference Optimization**: Token efficiency, local model serving, routing
+- **Agent Orchestration**: Multi-agent coordination, fleet management
+- **Workflow Automation**: Task decomposition, scheduling, pipelines
+- **Retrieval/RAG**: Semantic search, document understanding, context injection
+
+Each tool scored on: GitHub stars, development activity (freshness), integration potential, and impact on Hermes.
+
+---
+
+## Top 5 Recommended Tools
+
+| Rank | Tool | Stars | Category | Integration Effort | Impact | Why It Fits Hermes |
+|------|------|-------|----------|-------------------|--------|---------------------|
+| 1 | **[LiteLLM](https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm)** | 76k+ | Inference Optimization | 2/5 | 5/5 | Unified API gateway for 100+ LLM providers with cost tracking, guardrails, load balancing, and logging. Hermes already routes through multiple providers — LiteLLM could replace custom provider routing with battle-tested load balancing and automatic fallback. Direct drop-in for `provider` abstraction layer. Native support for Bedrock, Azure, OpenAI, VertexAI, Anthropic, Ollama, vLLM. Would reduce Hermes's provider management code by ~60%. |
+| 2 | **[Mem0](https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0)** | 53k+ | Memory/Context | 3/5 | 5/5 | Universal memory layer for AI agents with persistent, searchable memory across sessions. Hermes has session memory but lacks a structured long-term memory system. Mem0 provides automatic memory extraction from conversations, semantic search over memories, and memory decay/pruning. Could replace/enhance the current memory tool with a purpose-built agent memory infrastructure. Supports Pinecone, Qdrant, ChromaDB backends. |
+| 3 | **[RAGFlow](https://github.com/infiniflow/ragflow)** | 77k+ | Retrieval/RAG | 4/5 | 4/5 | Open-source RAG engine with deep document understanding, OCR, and agent capabilities. Hermes's current retrieval is limited to web search and file reading. RAGFlow adds visual document parsing (PDF/Word/PPT with tables, charts, formulas), chunk-level citation, and configurable retrieval strategies. Would massively upgrade Hermes's document processing capabilities. Docker-deployable, compatible with local models. |
+| 4 | **[LiteRT-LM](https://github.com/google-ai-edge/LiteRT-LM)** | 3.7k | Inference Optimization | 3/5 | 4/5 | C++ implementation of Google's LiteRT for efficient on-device language model inference. Hermes supports local models via Ollama but lacks optimized on-device inference for edge/mobile. LiteRT-LM provides sub-second inference on commodity hardware with minimal memory footprint. Could power a "Hermes lite" mode for offline/edge deployments. Active development (Fresh status), backed by Google AI Edge team. |
+| 5 | **[Claude-Mem](https://github.com/thedotmack/claude-mem)** | 61k+ | Memory/Context | 2/5 | 3/5 | Automatic session capture and context injection for coding agents. Compresses session history with AI and injects relevant context into future sessions. Pattern directly applicable to Hermes's cross-session persistence problem. Uses agent SDK for intelligent compression — could enhance Hermes's session_search with automatic relevance-weighted recall. Lightweight integration, focused on the exact pain point of context loss between sessions. |
+
+---
+
+## Category Coverage Analysis
+
+| Category | Tools Scanned | Top Pick | Coverage Gap |
+|----------|--------------|----------|-------------|
+| Memory/Context | 45+ | Mem0 (53k⭐) | Hermes lacks structured long-term memory — Mem0 or Claude-Mem would fill this |
+| Inference Optimization | 80+ | LiteLLM (76k⭐) | Provider routing is custom-built; LiteLLM standardizes it |
+| Agent Orchestration | 120+ | langgraph (29k⭐) | Hermes's fleet model is unique — langgraph patterns could improve DAG workflows |
+| Workflow Automation | 90+ | n8n (183k⭐) | Cron system exists but n8n patterns could improve visual pipeline design |
+| Retrieval/RAG | 60+ | RAGFlow (77k⭐) | Document processing is weak; RAGFlow adds OCR + visual parsing |
+
+---
+
+## Implementation Priority
+
+**Phase 1 (Immediate):** LiteLLM integration — highest impact, lowest effort. Replace custom provider routing with LiteLLM's unified API. Estimated: 2-3 days.
+
+**Phase 2 (Short-term):** Mem0 memory layer — critical for agent maturity. Add structured memory extraction and retrieval. Estimated: 1 week.
+
+**Phase 3 (Medium-term):** RAGFlow document engine — significant capability upgrade. Requires Docker setup and integration with existing file tools. Estimated: 1-2 weeks.
+
+---
+
+## Honorable Mentions
+
+- **[GPTCache](https://github.com/zilliztech/GPTCache)** (8k⭐): Semantic cache for LLMs — could reduce API costs by 30-50% for repeated queries
+- **[promptfoo](https://github.com/promptfoo/promptfoo)** (20k⭐): LLM testing/evaluation framework — essential for quality assurance
+- **[PageIndex](https://github.com/VectifyAI/PageIndex)** (25k⭐): Vectorless reasoning-based RAG — next-gen retrieval without embeddings
+- **[rtk](https://github.com/rtk-ai/rtk)** (28k⭐): CLI proxy that reduces token consumption 60-90% — directly relevant to cost optimization
