Frank bb0404c310 hermes-webui: add Hermex server as loopback compose service on Dankclaw

- compose: hermes-webui runs bootstrap.py --foreground in the agent image,
  shares /home/dank/hermes-data (same uid mapping as the gateway), publishes
  127.0.0.1:8787 only; password from host .env
- planner/remote deployer: hermes-webui is an isolated Dankclaw service
- tests: deployment integrity seam (loopback, auth, volume, healthcheck,
  planner narrowing, deployer dispatch)
- docs: Hermes-WebUI page with the iOS SSH-tunnel access pattern

Hermes

Hermes is the self-improving AI agent from Nous Research. It runs in a terminal, Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, or Signal, and keeps a persistent learning loop: it creates skills from experience, searches past conversations, and builds a model of the user across sessions.

Host: Dankclaw — Hostname: hermes.dankclaw.local — Docs: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs

Persistent state: /home/dank/hermes-data on Dankclaw, mounted as /data in both containers. The tracked, sanitized configuration baseline is dankclaw/hermes/config.yaml.example.

Facts (from research, primary source)

Item	Value
Image	built from `NousResearch/hermes-agent` (official Dockerfile in repo)
License	MIT
Model backends	Nous Portal, OpenRouter, OpenAI, or any custom endpoint
Interfaces	TUI, Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal
Memory	FTS5 session search, Honcho user modeling
Skills	self-created, self-improving during use

Configuration

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.
Hermes has two named local providers: dankclaw-large reaches http://192.168.0.143:7770/v1 and exposes frank-default-large; dankserver-small reaches http://192.168.0.235:7770/v1 and exposes frank-default-small.
The live config.yaml contains secrets and user state and is not committed; the tracked example is the sanitized backup of its non-secret settings.

Volumes

Container path	Host path (convention)
`/data`	`/home/dank/hermes-data`

Gotchas

Hermes is under active development; pin the image tag for reproducibility.
Model choice drives quality; the local frank-default-large (Dankclaw, 7770) is the intended backend.
Do not expose the gateway without auth — put it behind Caddy with basic auth.
