feat: add restart gateway and update Hermes action buttons to web dashboard
Implements the update/restart action buttons called out in issue #961:

- Backend (web_server.py): two new POST endpoints
  - /api/actions/restart-gateway — sends SIGUSR1 to the running gateway PID
  - /api/actions/update-hermes  — runs `hermes update --yes` in a subprocess
- Frontend (api.ts): restartGateway() / updateHermes() API helpers + ActionResponse type
- UI (StatusPage.tsx): "Actions" card with Restart Gateway and Update Hermes buttons
  - idle → running (spinner) → success/failure states
  - feedback detail text; auto-resets to idle after 8 s
- i18n: new status.actions / restartGateway / updateHermes strings in en, zh, and types

Hermes Agent — Web UI

Browser-based dashboard for managing Hermes Agent configuration, API keys, and monitoring active sessions.

Stack

  • Vite + React 19 + TypeScript
  • Tailwind CSS v4 with custom dark theme
  • shadcn/ui-style components (hand-rolled, no CLI dependency)

Development

# Start the backend API server
cd ../
python -m hermes_cli.main web --no-open

# In another terminal, start the Vite dev server (with HMR + API proxy)
cd web/
npm run dev

The Vite dev server proxies /api requests to http://127.0.0.1:9119 (the FastAPI backend).

Build

npm run build

This outputs to ../hermes_cli/web_dist/, which the FastAPI server serves as a static SPA. The built assets are included in the Python package via pyproject.toml package-data.
