fix(kimi): purge kimi-for-coding from model lists, tests, docs (#lazzyPit)

kimi-for-coding triggers 401/403 access-terminated errors.
Apply workaround consistently:
- Remove from _PROVIDER_MODELS['kimi-coding'] and coding plan selection
- Update tests to expect kimi-k2.5 instead
- Update docs and reports
- Live config on Beta VPS also corrected

+# BOOT.md — Hermes Agent
+
+Fast path from clone to productive. Target: <10 minutes.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Prerequisites
+
+| Tool | Why |
+|---|---|
+| Git | Clone + submodules |
+| Python 3.11+ | Runtime requirement |
+| uv | Package manager (install: `curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh \| sh`) |
+| Node.js 18+ | Optional — browser tools, WhatsApp bridge |
+
+---
+
+## 2. First-Time Setup
+
+```bash
+git clone --recurse-submodules https://forge.alexanderwhitestone.com/Timmy_Foundation/hermes-agent.git
+cd hermes-agent
+
+# Create venv
+uv venv .venv --python 3.11
+source .venv/bin/activate
+
+# Install with all extras + dev tools
+uv pip install -e ".[all,dev]"
+```
+
+> **Common pitfall:** If `uv` is not on PATH, the `setup-hermes.sh` script will attempt to install it, but manual `uv` install is faster.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Smoke Tests (< 30 sec)
+
+```bash
+python scripts/smoke_test.py
+```
+
+Expected output:
+```
+OK: 4 core imports
+OK: 1 CLI entrypoints
+Smoke tests passed.
+```
+
+If imports fail with `ModuleNotFoundError`, re-run: `uv pip install -e ".[all,dev]"`
+
+---
+
+## 4. Full Test Suite (excluding integration)
+
+```bash
+pytest tests/ -x --ignore=tests/integration
+```
+
+> Integration tests require a running gateway + API keys. Skip them unless you are testing platform connectivity.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Run the CLI
+
+```bash
+python cli.py --help
+```
+
+To start the gateway (after configuring `~/.hermes/config.yaml`):
+```bash
+hermes gateway run
+```
+
+---
+
+## 6. Repo Layout for Agents
+
+| Path | What lives here |
+|---|---|
+| `cli.py` | Main entrypoint |
+| `hermes/` | Core agent logic |
+| `toolsets/` | Built-in tool implementations |
+| `skills/` | Bundled skills (loaded automatically) |
+| `optional-skills/` | Official but opt-in skills |
+| `tests/` | pytest suite |
+| `scripts/` | Utility scripts (smoke tests, deploy validation, etc.) |
+| `.gitea/workflows/` | Forge CI (smoke + build) |
+| `.github/workflows/` | GitHub mirror CI |
+
+---
+
+## 7. Gitea Workflow Conventions
+
+- **Push to `main`**: triggers `ci.yml` (smoke + build, < 5 min)
+- **Pull requests**: same CI + notebook CI if notebooks changed
+- **Merge requirement**: green smoke tests
+- Security scans run on schedule via `.github/workflows/`
+
+---
+
+## 8. Common Pitfalls
+
+| Symptom | Fix |
+|---|---|
+| `No module named httpx` | `uv pip install -e ".[all,dev]"` |
+| `prompt_toolkit` missing | Included in `[all]`, but install explicitly if you used minimal deps |
+| CLI hangs on start | Check `~/.hermes/config.yaml` exists and is valid YAML |
+| API key errors | Copy `.env.example` → `.env` and fill required keys |
+| Browser tools fail | Run `npm install` in repo root |
+
+---
+
+## 9. Quick Reference
+
+```bash
+# Reinstall after dependency changes
+uv pip install -e ".[all,dev]"
+
+# Run only smoke tests
+python scripts/smoke_test.py
+
+# Run syntax guard
+python scripts/syntax_guard.py
+
+# Start gateway
+hermes gateway run
+```

+- **Gitea HTTPS:** `https://forge.alexanderwhitestone.com` (Alpha)
+- **Telegram Webhook:** Inbound to Beta
+- **API Providers:** Kimi (primary), Anthropic (fallback), OpenRouter (fallback)
+- **No SSH:** Alpha → Beta is blocked by design
+
+### Listening Services
+- Hermes Gateway: internal process (no exposed port directly)
+- Evennia: `localhost:4000` (MUD), `localhost:4001` (web client) — when running
+- Gitea Runner: `act_runner daemon` — connects outbound to Gitea
+
+---
+
+## 4. Services & Processes
+
+### Always-On Processes
+| Process | Command | Purpose |
+|---------|---------|---------|
+| Hermes Gateway | `hermes gateway run` | Core agent orchestration |
+| Gitea Runner | `./act_runner daemon` | CI job execution (host mode) |
+
+### Automated Jobs
+| Job | Schedule | Script |
+|-----|----------|--------|
+| Night Watch | 02:00 UTC | `nightly_watch.py` |
+| MemPalace Re-mine | 03:00 UTC | `mempalace_nightly.sh` |
+
+### Service Status Check
+- **Hermes gateway:** running (ps verified)
+- **Gitea runner:** online, registered as `bezalel-vps-runner`
+- **Evennia server:** not currently running (start with `evennia start` in `evennia/`)
+
+---
+
+## 5. Software Dependencies
+
+### System Packages (Key)
+- `python3.12` (primary runtime)
+- `node` v20.20.2 / `npm` 10.8.2
+- `uv` (Python package manager)
+- `git`, `curl`, `jq`
+
+### Hermes Virtual Environment
+- Located: `/root/wizards/bezalel/hermes/venv/`
+- Key packages: `chromadb`, `pyyaml`, `fastapi`, `httpx`, `pytest`, `prompt-toolkit`, `mempalace`
+- Install command: `uv pip install -e ".[all,dev]"`
+
+### External API Dependencies
+| Service | Endpoint | Usage |
+|---------|----------|-------|
+| Gitea | `forge.alexanderwhitestone.com` | Git, issues, CI |
+| Kimi | `api.kimi.com/coding/v1` | Primary LLM |
+| Anthropic | `api.anthropic.com` | Fallback LLM |

+## 6. Git Repositories
+
+### Hermes Agent
+- **Path:** `/root/wizards/bezalel/hermes`
+- **Remote:** `forge.alexanderwhitestone.com/Timmy_Foundation/hermes-agent.git`
+- **Branch:** `main` (up to date)
+- **Open PRs:** #193, #191, #179, #178
+
+### Evennia World
+- **Path:** `/root/wizards/bezalel/evennia/bezalel_world`
+- **Remote:** Same org, separate repo if pushed
+- **Server name:** `bezalel_world`
+
+---
+
+## 7. MemPalace Memory System
+
+### Configuration
+- **Palace path:** `/root/wizards/bezalel/.mempalace/palace`
+- **Identity:** `/root/.mempalace/identity.txt`
+- **Config:** `/root/wizards/bezalel/mempalace.yaml`
+- **Miner:** `/root/wizards/bezalel/hermes/venv/bin/mempalace`
+
+### Rooms
+1. `forge` — CI, builds, syntax guards, nightly watch
+2. `hermes` — Agent source, gateway, CLI
+3. `evennia` — MUD engine and world code
+4. `workspace` — Prototypes, experiments
+5. `home` — Personal scripts, configs
+6. `nexus` — Reports, docs, KT artifacts
+7. `issues` — Gitea issues, PRs, backlog
+8. `topology` — System architecture, network, storage
+9. `services` — Running services, processes
+10. `dependencies` — Packages, APIs, external deps
+11. `automation` — Cron jobs, scripts, workflows
+12. `general` — Catch-all
+
+### Automation
+- **Nightly re-mine:** `03:00 UTC` via cron
+- **Log:** `/var/log/bezalel_mempalace.log`
+
+---
+
+## 8. Evennia Mind Palace Integration
+
+### Custom Typeclasses
+- `PalaceRoom` — Rooms carry `memory_topic` and `wing`
+- `MemoryObject` — In-world memory shards with `memory_content` and `source_file`
+
+### Commands
+- `palace/search <query>` — Query mempalace
+- `palace/recall <topic>` — Spawn a memory shard
+- `palace/file <name> = <content>` — File a new memory
+- `palace/status` — Show palace status
+
+### Batch Builder
+- **File:** `world/batch_cmds_palace.ev`
+- Creates The Hub + 7 palace rooms with exits
+
+### Bridge Script
+- **File:** `/root/wizards/bezalel/evennia/palace_search.py`
+- Calls mempalace searcher and returns JSON
+
+---
+
+## 9. Operational State & Blockers
+
+### Current Health
+- [x] Hermes gateway: operational
+- [x] Gitea runner: online, host mode
+- [x] CI fix merged (#194) — container directive removed for Gitea workflows
+- [x] MemPalace: 2,484+ drawers, incremental mining active
+
+### Active Blockers
+- **Gitea Actions:** Runner is in host mode — cannot use Docker containers
+- **CI backlog:** Many historical PRs have failed runs due to the container bug (now fixed)
+- **Evennia:** Server not currently running (start when needed)
+
+---
+
+## 10. Emergency Procedures
+
+### Restart Hermes Gateway
+```bash
+cd /root/wizards/bezalel/hermes
+source venv/bin/activate
+hermes gateway run &
+```
+
+### Restart Gitea Runner
+```bash
+cd /opt/gitea-runner
+./act_runner daemon &
+```
+
+### Start Evennia
+```bash
+cd /root/wizards/bezalel/evennia/bezalel_world
+evennia start
+```
+
+### Manual MemPalace Re-mine
+```bash
+cd /root/wizards/bezalel
+./hermes/venv/bin/mempalace --palace .mempalace/palace mine . --agent bezalel
