Teknium 8b861b77c1 refactor: remove browser_close tool — auto-cleanup handles it (#5792)
* refactor: remove browser_close tool — auto-cleanup handles it

The browser_close tool was called in only 9% of browser sessions (13/144
navigations across 66 sessions), always redundantly — cleanup_browser()
already runs via _cleanup_task_resources() at conversation end, and the
background inactivity reaper catches anything else.

Removing it saves one tool schema slot in every browser-enabled API call.

Also fixes a latent bug: cleanup_browser() now handles Camofox sessions
too (previously only Browserbase). Camofox sessions were never auto-cleaned
per-task because they live in a separate dict from _active_sessions.

Files changed (13):
- tools/browser_tool.py: remove function, schema, registry entry; add
  camofox cleanup to cleanup_browser()
- toolsets.py, model_tools.py, prompt_builder.py, display.py,
  acp_adapter/tools.py: remove browser_close from all tool lists
- tests/: remove browser_close test, update toolset assertion
- docs/skills: remove all browser_close references

* fix: repeat browser_scroll 5x per call for meaningful page movement

Most backends scroll ~100px per call — barely visible on a typical
viewport. Repeating 5x gives ~500px (~half a viewport), making each
scroll tool call actually useful.

Backend-agnostic approach: works across all 7+ browser backends without
needing to configure each one's scroll amount individually. Breaks
early on error for the agent-browser path.

* feat: auto-return compact snapshot from browser_navigate

Every browser session starts with navigate → snapshot. Now navigate
returns the compact accessibility tree snapshot inline, saving one
tool call per browser task.

The snapshot captures the full page DOM (not viewport-limited), so
scroll position doesn't affect it. browser_snapshot remains available
for refreshing after interactions or getting full=true content.

Both Browserbase and Camofox paths auto-snapshot. If the snapshot
fails for any reason, navigation still succeeds — the snapshot is
a bonus, not a requirement.

Schema descriptions updated to guide models: navigate mentions it
returns a snapshot, snapshot mentions it's for refresh/full content.

* refactor: slim cronjob tool schema — consolidate model/provider, drop unused params

Session data (151 calls across 67 sessions) showed several schema
properties were never used by models. Consolidated and cleaned up:

Removed from schema (still work via backend/CLI):
- skill (singular): use skills array instead
- reason: pause-only, unnecessary
- include_disabled: now defaults to true
- base_url: extreme edge case, zero usage
- provider (standalone): merged into model object

Consolidated:
- model + provider → single 'model' object with {model, provider} fields.
  If provider is omitted, the current main provider is pinned at creation
  time so the job stays stable even if the user changes their default.

Kept:
- script: useful data collection feature
- skills array: standard interface for skill loading

Schema shrinks from 14 to 10 properties. All backend functionality
preserved — the Python function signature and handler lambda still
accept every parameter.

* fix: remove mixture_of_agents from core toolsets — opt-in only via hermes tools

MoA was in _HERMES_CORE_TOOLS and composite toolsets (hermes-cli,
hermes-messaging, safe), which meant it appeared in every session
for anyone with OPENROUTER_API_KEY set. The _DEFAULT_OFF_TOOLSETS
gate only works after running 'hermes tools' explicitly.

Now MoA only appears when a user explicitly enables it via
'hermes tools'. The moa toolset definition and check_fn remain
unchanged — it just needs to be opted into.

Website

This website is built using Docusaurus, a modern static website generator.

Installation

yarn

Local Development

yarn start

This command starts a local development server and opens up a browser window. Most changes are reflected live without having to restart the server.

Build

yarn build

This command generates static content into the build directory and can be served using any static contents hosting service.

Deployment

Using SSH:

USE_SSH=true yarn deploy

Not using SSH:

GIT_USER=<Your GitHub username> yarn deploy

If you are using GitHub pages for hosting, this command is a convenient way to build the website and push to the gh-pages branch.

Diagram Linting

CI runs ascii-guard to lint docs for ASCII box diagrams. Use Mermaid (````mermaid`) or plain lists/tables instead of ASCII boxes to avoid CI failures.
