APPLY ONLY AFTER the multi-arch hermes-agent image is built + validated
(both arch leaves + promoted index). Supersedes the earlier titan-22
flip on feature/hermes-agent-multiarch (dfa50b75), which required
worker=true and tolerated the old media-primary taint.
Rewrites the runtime node affinity so hermes-agent runs on titan-22:
- Adds a second, OR'd nodeSelectorTerm matching amd64 + hostname
titan-22 + node-role.kubernetes.io/accelerator=true. It does NOT
require node-role.kubernetes.io/worker (titan-22 is no longer a
generic worker).
- Keeps the arm64 pi-fleet term untouched as an OR'd fallback so the
worker is never stranded if titan-22 is unavailable.
- Makes titan-22 the STRONG/primary preference: a hostname=titan-22
preference at weight 100 (the scheduler maximum) outranks the pi-fleet
rpi5 nudge, lowered to weight 50, so hermes actually lives on titan-22.
- Tolerates node-role.kubernetes.io/accelerator=true:NoSchedule so it
can consider titan-22; this does not change jellyfin's media-core
priority or preemption.
Updates test_hermes_agent_layout.py to the two-term topology, the
[100, 50] preference weights, the titan-22 primary preference, the
absence of a worker requirement on the titan-22 term, and the toleration.

The hermes-agent-image pipeline failed intermittently on external network:
Kaniko's docker.io fallback for the base image is IPv6-broken from build
pods, and the "Validate reviewed release source" stage pip-installed pytest
from files.pythonhosted.org (DNS failures). Neither should touch the public
internet.
Base image: repoint the Dockerfile FROM from docker.io to the in-cluster
Harbor "mirror" project, keeping the exact content-addressed index digest
(9c841866...) and both arch leaves. A Flux-managed one-shot Job
(services/harbor/hermes-agent-base-mirror-job.yaml, suspend: true like the
cassandra bootstrap job) runs `skopeo copy --all` from docker.io into Harbor
using the same Vault-injected admin credential as the existing Harbor
immutability jobs; a tiny fail-closed helper ensures the public target
project first. Digest pinning and multi-arch are preserved; Kaniko pulls it
over the internal insecure registry with no docker.io fallback.
Test deps: install pytest/PyYAML fully offline (`pip --no-index
--find-links`) from a reviewed in-repo wheelhouse
(ci/vendor/hermes-agent-test-wheels) matching the arm64 python:3.12 build
container, so the validate stage never resolves a public index.

titan-24 is an accelerator node (co-hosts the out-of-cluster Sui validator), not
a general worker. The amd64 build leg was requiring node-role worker=true, which
forced labeling titan-24 as a worker and opened it to unrelated cluster
scheduling. It already pins by hostname+arch, so drop the worker requirement and
remove the titan-24 worker-join from the node-prefer CronJob entirely. The build
targets titan-24 specifically (hostname) and tolerates its taint; nothing else
in the cluster gets scheduled there.

Repoint the hermes-agent base FROM at the upstream multi-arch OCI INDEX
digest (tag v2026.7.7.2, revision 9de9c25f) whose arm64 leaf is byte-for-byte
the previously pinned single-arch base, so the arm64 build is unchanged while
the same reviewed version now also resolves an amd64 leaf. Kaniko selects the
matching leaf per build platform.
Rework the release pipeline to build both arches natively and promote a
multi-arch image without switching off kaniko or weakening any existing
security assertion:
- Keep the arm64 kaniko leg on the unchanged rpi5 coordinating pod; it now
pushes an arch-suffixed candidate tag (...-build-<N>-arm64).
- Add a second native amd64 kaniko leg on a titan-24-pinned, tolerating,
resource-capped pod (ceiling strictly below the arm64 leg) that
independently re-verifies the reviewed revision and stashes its leaf
evidence (...-build-<N>-amd64).
- Add ci/scripts/hermes_multiarch_combine.py: a pure-python, fail-closed
combiner that re-reads each per-arch leaf from the registry, proves its
digest AND its config architecture, assembles a Docker manifest LIST
(already inside the promote allow-list), refuses to overwrite an existing
final tag, publishes the arch-less ...-build-<N> tag, and re-verifies the
registry resolved the exact index referencing exactly the two leaves. It
emits the index digest in the SAME digest-file/image-file format the
single-arch step produced, so render/verify-evidence/hermes_oci_promote.py
promote the INDEX with no change to those scripts.
Tests: add test_hermes_multiarch_combine.py (full hash/verification chain);
strengthen the image-builder suites for the two-arch topology (both kaniko
legs carry the reviewed heredoc-compat build-arg; amd64 leg pinned+capped+
boundary-checked; combine stage wiring; expanded evidence archive) without
weakening the arm64-leg assertions.

The overlay status caption already carries a static ellipsis (e.g. 'Thinking…'),
and after ~2.5s of silent thinking the 'working' affordance added an animated
dots ::after on top of it — so the label intermittently rendered as 'Thinking……'
only on longer turns. Drop the animated text dots and keep the orb-halo shimmer
as the liveness cue, so the ellipsis stays a single, consistent static one.

Conversation mode was only reachable via a small icon by the composer, which is
easy to miss on a fresh session. Inject a prominent, centred 'Start
conversation' button into the empty new-chat state (#emptyState), below the
subtitle and above the suggestions, so it sits in the vertical centre of the
screen. It is created only when local voice is available, honours the same
show/hide preference as the composer toggle, and enters conversation mode
through the same activate() path. Fully guarded so it degrades to nothing if the
empty state is absent. New probe scenario verifies it is created, visible, and
opens the conversation overlay on press.

On an Android standalone PWA the composer's bottom control row was rendering
about one line below the visible viewport, behind the system gesture bar, so
those controls were unreachable. The theme already pads the titlebar with
env(safe-area-inset-top/left/right), but the viewport meta never opted into
viewport-fit=cover, so every safe-area inset collapsed to 0 and the bottom edge
had no reservation.
Add viewport-fit=cover to the viewport meta (base patch) so the insets carry
real values, and reserve env(safe-area-inset-bottom) at the bottom of the
composer (brand.css), additive with the app's existing --keyboard-bottom-inset
and absorbed by the flex-1 message scroller so total height stays within the
viewport. Inert on desktop (env() resolves to 0). Dockerfile verifies the meta
patch landed; brand/dockerfile contracts covered by tests.

Diagnosed from a live voice session (e1b9fccb90ef): three turns failed with
raw '**Error:** HTTP 502 ... hermes-{claude,codex}-broker' because the agent
pod hosting the model brokers rolled mid-conversation. The voice client
correctly refused to speak the error envelope, but it then dropped the user's
utterance and forced them to repeat it three times.
Voice: on a TRANSIENT provider error (5xx/502/'error sending request'/timeout),
conversation mode now re-runs the errored turn in place through the app's own
regenerate action (which truncates the errored turn — no duplicate user
message) and stays in Thinking so its cues cover the reconnect gap. Bounded to
MAX_TRANSIENT_RETRIES (2); a non-transient error or an exhausted budget still
drops cleanly to 'let's try that again — listening'. The raw error is never
spoken. New probe scenarios cover retry-then-recover and the bounded-then-drop
path; source contract updated.
STT: the same session mis-transcribed 'CUI' as 'cue'. Prime the default
initial_prompt with the domain acronyms the user uses (CUI, FOUO, DoD, NIST,
CMMC, FIPS, RMF, POA&M, ATO, SBU) so they bias to uppercase forms.

The orb watermark was showing the character art as a low-opacity square
box (visible edges) — the earlier screen-blend pass washed it into a glow
that lost the artwork. Reprocess the source into a feathered circle so the
orb crops it (no box) while keeping the character's facial features, paint
it with a normal blend at 0.5 opacity, and size it to fill the orb (inset
7%). Verified by compositing over a simulated orb before shipping.

- REGRESSION FIX: the full-screen conversation overlay stopped opening
(fell back to the inline bar) because building the language/output
selectors inside the overlay's single try/catch could throw on a
phone (navigator.mediaDevices/setSinkId). Overlay build is now two
phases: the essential orb+captions+controls attach first; the
selectors attach after, each guarded, so a selector failure omits only
that control and never the visualization. Control builders can no
longer throw (inert hidden fallback); device enumeration is async
after attach. Regression test covers mediaDevices-undefined and
enumerate-rejects.
- Orb watermark is the processed Hermes character glyph (feathered,
circle-cropped, screen-blended so the face glows on the dark orb), no
more white/grey box.
- Output selector defaults to the loudspeaker (excludes the
communications/earpiece endpoint that the open mic otherwise forces);
explicit choice sticks; hidden gracefully where setSinkId is
unsupported. 291 voice tests.

Final conversation-mode polish from mobile testing:
- The Workspace toggle now sits with the chat/Telegram nav at every
width: nav.rail on desktop, the top app titlebar on mobile. The
floating pill that pushed the mobile composer's control row (and the
conversation-mode button) off screen is gone - a fallback exists only
for headless DOMs and is pinned to a top corner, never over the
composer.
- The conversation orb watermark is now the Hermes character avatar
(static/hermes-agent-192.png) instead of the caduceus staff.
- User-facing 'hands-free' copy renamed to 'Conversation mode'.
- Wrong-voice fix: strongReplyLanguage flagged Spanish on a single
accented char, so an English reply naming European cities (Zürich,
Málaga) overrode the correct English STT detection and was spoken by
the Spanish voice. Detection now requires density (Cyrillic >=4 at
>=50%, or inverted punctuation / >=2 accents corroborated by Spanish
stopwords); plain English always speaks English, forced language wins,
accent-free Spanish still routes via trusted STT. 294 voice tests.

Three conversation-mode fixes in one pass:
- Interim-acknowledgement truncation: when an interim ack folds into the
hidden worklog segment mid-speech, the retained unspoken tail is now
flushed and spoken in full before the Thinking transition, and a
distinct follow-up message is chunked from its own start and queued
after the interim drains (no more 'stops after the first clause, rest
resurfaces with the next message').
- Natural thinking fillers: brief per-language interjections (Umm/Hmm/
One sec; Mmm/A ver; Хм/Секунду) on genuine >1.9s thinking gaps only,
non-repeating, answer-preempting, mute-aware.
- One unified audio sink for every spoken output (reply, cues, fillers,
WAV fallback) - fixes cues playing the loudspeaker while the reply
used a different output - plus a tidy corner output-device selector
(enumerateDevices + setSinkId, feature-detected, session-only) styled
like the language selector. Also realigns two STT-server decode-param
assertions to the dict form from the STT tuning commit. 284 voice tests.

Default final beam 5 -> 2: the accuracy/speed knee - most of beam
search's benefit at ~2x greedy instead of ~5x, protecting commit
latency on the Jetson (still env-overridable via
HERMES_STT_FINAL_BEAM_SIZE). Prompt now also primes common names (Amy,
Claude, Hermes) so 'Amy' stops transcribing as 'aiming'.

Proper nouns (Córdoba, Cancún) and dropped words came from decoding the
committed transcript with the small model. The image already ships
large-v3-turbo, so the final decode now uses it with beam_size=5, a
temperature fallback ladder, and a proper-noun/accents initial_prompt
that fixes first-pass capitalization and diacritics across EN/ES/RU;
the rolling previews stay on tiny at greedy so the on-the-fly feel is
unchanged. The accurate decode runs in the speculative predecode during
the end-of-speech silence and is cache-reused at commit, so perceived
latency stays low. All decode knobs are env-overridable for on-device
tuning (beam/temperature/prompt), with small as the guaranteed-present
rollback if turbo underperforms on the Jetson. 206 STT tests pass.

The 'Something went wrong - listening' state with no spoken answer was a
false positive: readAssistantTurn flagged the whole turn as an error if
ANY segment was error-stamped - including a recovered/transient tool
error or a cancellation notice from an earlier interim - and threw away
the real answer that the same turn produced. Error now surfaces only
when the turn yielded no spoken answer at all; a turn with real content
is spoken normally. Softened the genuine-error label to the friendlier
'Let's try that again - listening'. New probe scenarios lock both: an
error segment alongside an answer speaks the answer (error=false), and
an error-only turn still reports the error.

Real root cause (confirmed against the live build-24 DOM): the caption
and TTS extraction fell back to turn.textContent whenever a settle-frame
race left no readable answer segment, scraping the avatar letter,
author name and 'Processed 13s' chip - and that truncated reply made
TTS speak only the first segment then drop to Listening even with the
mic muted (the muted-mic first-sentence-stop). Extraction now prefers
each answer segment's data-raw-text, else the answer .msg-body only
(excluding thinking/tool/worklog/role chrome), and the textContent
fallback is gone; a genuinely mid-flight reply retries briefly so the
whole thing is read before the overlay drains. Also: the app's own
caduceus mark embedded in the conversation orb as a subtle watermark; a
corner language selector (Auto + en/es/ru) that forces both the STT
hint and the reply voice; and a thinking affordance after 2.5s of dead
time. New response probe + extraction test prove caption==body-only and
that every sentence reaches the TTS queue. 278 voice-lane tests green.

The chat prompt still forbade all cluster access, so Hermes told users
it had no visibility even though cluster_read is live - it now knows it
has a read-only cluster tool (no Secrets/Vault) and should use it rather
than deny. Adds tool/research-conditioned acknowledgement guidance: when
a turn needs a lookup, plan or calculation, open with one short 'on it,
~ETA' line then deliver the full answer; simple questions get no
preamble. In spoken mode that first line is read aloud. Fixes two
pre-existing exact-match test pins the HUX/cluster rollout had grown
(plugins.enabled list; a fieldRef env comprehension).

Node .status.images (every cached image on the node) overflowed the
size cap and left json.loads parsing a truncated blob, so a nodes query
came back as a non-JSON error. The de-noise pass now summarizes that

narrow-your-query hint instead of an error.

- Captions read message bodies only (the scraper was concatenating
avatar, author and worklog chips); multi-segment interim turns are
now speakable and drive clean speak-to-thinking-to-speak cycles when
playback drains mid-turn.
- Dynamic endpointing: complete-looking partials (3+ words or terminal
punctuation) endpoint at the base window; the long hold remains only
for one-two-word fragments. A stale-busy 10s settle wait on every
post-error send is gone.
- Both overlay captions are bounded, touch-scrollable regions with
follow-tail; caps raised for long turns.
- Error envelopes are never spoken or captioned; errored turns run
resyncCapture (fresh STT session on the hot mic).
- Workspace toggle now lives in the sidebar rail (floating button only
below the rail breakpoint).
- False 'session unavailable' toast root-caused: the router continuity
guard shows it on a 409 that fired when a transient profile-listing
failure failed closed into a fake cross-profile mismatch; the patcher
now answers from the alias cache and never claims a default-vs-named
mismatch while aliases are unconfirmed.
- Barge-in sends carry a one-line cut-point marker with the last spoken
sentence; visible-history truncation judged infeasible client-side.
- Language switching works end-to-end: sticky per-session STT language
hint (restarting an unused next session on switch), reply voice from
script evidence, STT detection, then stopword heuristic; cues and WAV
fallback share the turn language.
- Legacy CI guards: node skip for the DOM probe, ffmpeg/codec skips for
the container-fallback test. 272 voice-lane tests green.

Round 2 from live testing:
- Clipping root cause: the endpointer committed on any 1.1s pause, so a
thinking pause after a sentence opener sent one word; a speculative
Whisper pass over that fragment then stalled the real commit ~3.5s on
the Jetson. Young utterances now hold a 1.8s endpoint until 1.2s of
speech accrues, speculative decode waits for 700ms of speech, resume
is unconditional after any 650ms gap (server-frozen snapshots can
never reach commit), and the noise floor is capped so playback echo
cannot deafen onset. Deterministic capture-continuity probe added.
- Stitching now fires for any barge-cancelled send within 20s,
regardless of partial assistant output.
- The workspace-drawer dark rectangle was our own HUX chrome resolving
undefined theme tokens (--bg-primary) to a flat box; bootstrap.css
bridges the real theme tokens and drops a compositor-hazard
backdrop-filter.
- Conversation mode: full-viewport hands-free overlay with an energy-

transcript/reply captions, mute and exit controls, focus trap,
Escape, reduced-motion support. Voice lane 253 tests green.

Real traffic showed the first enforcement pass blocking core assistant
faculties: skills listing and the sandboxed Python classified as
unknown external side effects, browsing denied by default, with no
approval surface in the chat flow. Enforcement returns to observe-only
fleet-wide while the approvals UX and default grants are reworked, and
the capability map now tells the truth about the real toolset: the
Python sandbox is internal shell work, skills/todo/clarify/vision are
reads, browsing is network (medium), image generation writes an

Three conversational fixes for hands-free chat:
- The microphone now stays hot for the whole session: capture runs on
its own epoch, re-arms immediately after each utterance endpoints,
and keeps recording through transcribing/thinking/speaking - speech
is never lost to Hermes being busy. Speech onset during a response
cancels it through the live capture path (echo-guarded exactly like
the old monitor) without touching the running recorder.
- When the user talks over Hermes before any visible reply appeared,
the interrupted utterance and the follow-up are stitched into one
message (20s window), so the response addresses the whole thought.
- TTS speaks 15% faster by default (server-side length_scale, no pitch
shift), user-tunable via hermes-voice-tts-speed (0.5-2.0), honored on
streaming, WAV fallback and thinking-cue paths.

A shared helper now runs plain --experimental-test-coverage and

TypeScript suites skip with an explicit reason on runtimes that cannot

Activation-layer staging, fail-closed until enablement: a per-tenant
hux-evidence-producer sidecar on the exact reviewed WebUI image runs
hux_producer.run_once on a 60s loop, inert until the Vault-staged
evidence key (tolerant init, tmpfs, 0400, staged only for the hux
service and producer containers - never hermes or webui), the policy
ConfigMap, and the scope ConfigMap exist. Adds least-privilege
read-only RBAC (pods+statefulset in hermes, the single named Flux
Kustomization), tenant egress to the Kubernetes API ClusterIP and the
traefik edge, the policy allowlist, hux_producer packaging in the WebUI
image, and a third expected WebUI consumer in the Flux release
renderer. Delivery and image-automation gates enforce the boundary.

A companion package (outside the network-free hux/ service package)
that independently verifies and binds the whole release chain before
any transition: reviewed proposal URL, Jenkins job/build/result and
revision, immutable Harbor tag/digest equality, Flux kustomization and
applied revision with pin containment, desired workload image, every
Ready pod imageID, bounded-age health receipt, and rollback target.
Pure injectable verifier core, HTTPS-only collectors (SA token for the
Kubernetes API), and an evidence-trust driver that posts exactly one
If-Match transition with deterministic idempotency. Rejects stale,
replayed, downgraded, incomplete, cross-workload, mismatched, and
self-asserted evidence. 100% line and branch coverage (71 tests).

HUX-04/HUX-08: after a successful tool execution the hux-runtime plugin
now registers freshly written files as typed artifacts (create or
immutable version by conversation-scoped title, bounded to 1 MiB,
deterministic idempotency keys) and records up to three deduplicated
web sources from real network/web_search output. Emitters are fail-open
and can never break the tool result. Delivered through the plugin
ConfigMap; 95% branch coverage; quality contract updated.

HUX-06/HUX-10: a conversation whose stored friendly mode is private now
has network, web_search, send_message, shell and delegate refused by
both the approval resolver and the pre-side-effect gate, regardless of
autonomy policy — matching the mode catalog's tool contract. Memory
writes were already refused by the privacy state. Missing or unbound
conversations keep the existing matrix behaviour.

HUX-06: the auto-router now consults the loopback HUX service (worker
trust, HMAC-derived conversation id from the persisted session) for the
conversation's selected friendly mode and maps it onto the existing
provider-neutral pools: fast->auto/fast, thoughtful/research->auto/deep,
create->auto/balanced; private pins the local route and refuses hosted
overrides. Explicit UI picks keep precedence; every HUX absence or
failure falls through to the previous behaviour unchanged. 95% branch
coverage; quality contract registers the new module.

The delivery and image-automation gates now enforce whichever state the
chat StatefulSet is actually in: with no hux sidecar they require zero
partial HUX wiring (no containers, volumes, PVC, or HUX_* env); with the
sidecar staged they enforce the full strict boundary. This lets the
reviewed source chain merge and build before the activation topology
lands, without ever waiving an activated assertion.

The Flux release renderer now accepts an expected-consumer set per
workload (chat may carry the HUX sidecar as a second consumer of the
exact same WebUI image) and binds HUX_IMAGE_TAG/HUX_IMAGE_DIGEST env
metadata to the released tag and digest when those fields are present.
Rendering fails when the binding fields are incomplete, keeping the
image identity single-sourced. Tests adapt to both topologies.

Standalone per-card browser model/security/view modules for HUX-01..10
plus node+pytest suites that read the hux.v1 contract schemas directly.
Reconciled drift found on integration: the activity model now accepts
all 32 hux.event.v1 kinds (delegation.*, memory.suppressed,
memory.retrieval_removed, budget.exhausted, side_effect.*), the
autonomy model carries the external_side_effect capability, and the
foundation boundary test now asserts the shipped static HUX surface
exists on disk and that images never bake activated HUX_FLAGS.
