feat: add profiles — run multiple isolated Hermes instances (#3681)
Each profile is a fully independent HERMES_HOME with its own config,
API keys, memory, sessions, skills, gateway, cron, and state.db.
Core module: hermes_cli/profiles.py (~900 lines)
- Profile CRUD: create, delete, list, show, rename
- Three clone levels: blank, --clone (config), --clone-all (everything)
- Export/import: tar.gz archive for backup and migration
- Wrapper alias scripts (~/.local/bin/<name>)
- Collision detection for alias names
- Sticky default via ~/.hermes/active_profile
- Skill seeding via subprocess (handles module-level caching)
- Auto-stop gateway on delete with disable-before-stop for services
- Tab completion generation for bash and zsh
CLI integration (hermes_cli/main.py):
- _apply_profile_override(): pre-import -p/--profile flag + sticky default
- Full 'hermes profile' subcommand: list, use, create, delete, show,
alias, rename, export, import
- 'hermes completion bash/zsh' command
- Multi-profile skill sync in hermes update
Display (cli.py, banner.py, gateway/run.py):
- CLI prompt: 'coder ❯' when using a non-default profile
- Banner shows profile name
- Gateway startup log includes profile name
Gateway safety:
- Token locks: Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal (extends Telegram pattern)
- Port conflict detection: API server, webhook adapter
Diagnostics (hermes_cli/doctor.py):
- Profile health section: lists profiles, checks config, .env, aliases
- Orphan alias detection: warns when wrapper points to deleted profile
Tests (tests/hermes_cli/test_profiles.py):
- 71 automated tests covering: validation, CRUD, clone levels, rename,
export/import, active profile, isolation, alias collision, completion
- Full suite: 6760 passed, 0 new failures
