+- Point Hermes at the local model endpoint or an external provider through its provider config.
 - The gateway process exposes one port for chat integration; the exact port is set in the Hermes config (`8090` convention in this repo).
 - The data volume persists skills, memory, and session history.
+- The configured `dankserver-small` provider reaches `http://192.168.0.235:7770/v1`
+  and exposes the `frank-default-small` alias. It is a named provider, so it can
+  coexist with the existing `custom` provider for the large model.
+- The live `config.yaml` contains secrets and user state and is not committed;
