* fix: Inconsistencies in Docs, health endpoint, troubleshooting guide
* fix: (docs) maintain consistency on postgres db name
* chore: (docs) update v2 contributing docs with updates db paths
* docs: overhaul self-hosting docs for provider-agnostic setup
- .env.template: lead with provider options (custom, vllm, google,
anthropic, openai, groq) instead of baking in vendor-specific keys.
All provider/model settings commented out so server fails fast until
configured. Separate endpoint config from per-feature provider+model
from tuning knobs.
- docker-compose.yml.example: fix healthcheck -d honcho -> -d postgres
to match POSTGRES_DB=postgres.
- config.toml.example: reorder and document LLM key section with
OpenRouter and vLLM examples.
- self-hosting.mdx: replace multi-vendor key table with provider options
table. Add examples for OpenRouter, vLLM/Ollama, and direct vendor
keys. Remove duplicated key lists from Docker/manual setup sections.
- configuration.mdx: replace scattered provider docs with provider types
table. Fix Docker Compose snippet to match actual compose file. Note
code defaults as fallback, not recommended path.
- troubleshooting.mdx: add alternative provider issues section (custom
provider config, model name format, Docker localhost, structured
output failures).
* docs: add Docker build troubleshooting for permission errors
- Document BuildKit requirement (RUN --mount syntax)
- AppArmor/SELinux blocking Docker builds on Linux
- Volume mount UID mismatch between host and container app user
- Note in self-hosting docs that Docker path builds from source
* docs: reframe self-hosting as contributor/dev path, point to cloud service
* Revert "docs: reframe self-hosting as contributor/dev path, point to cloud service"
This reverts commit 3e766eb1a9.
* docs: add production compose, model guidance, thinking budget docs
- Add docker-compose.prod.yml for VM/server deployment: no source
mounts, restart policies, 127.0.0.1-bound ports, cache enabled
- Add model tier guidance and community quick-start link to self-hosting
- Document THINKING_BUDGET_TOKENS gotcha for non-Anthropic providers
- Add reverse proxy examples (Caddy + nginx) to production section
- Add backup/restore commands to production considerations
* docs: simplify self-hosting to single provider, restructure config guide
Self-hosting page now defaults to one OpenAI-compatible endpoint
with one model for all features. Moved model tiers, alternative
providers, and per-feature tuning into the configuration guide.
Eliminated duplicate config priority sections, dev/prod split,
and redundant TOML examples.
* docs: merge compose files, restore provider/model to feature sections in .env.template
Single docker-compose.yml.example with dev sections commented out.
Moved PROVIDER and MODEL back alongside each feature in .env.template
so settings stay colocated with their module. Updated self-hosting
docs to reference single compose file.
* fix: broken anchor links, redundant migration step, minor inconsistencies
Fix 4 broken internal links (#llm-provider-setup, #llm-api-keys,
#which-api-keys-do-i-need, #alternative-providers) to point to
correct headings. Remove redundant Docker migration step (entrypoint
already runs alembic). Fix cache URL missing ?suppress=true in
reference config. Fix uv install command to use official method.
* docs: env template ready to use, simplify self-hosting flow
.env.template now has provider/model lines uncommented with
placeholder values — user just sets endpoint, key, and model name.
Thinking budgets default to 0 for non-Anthropic providers.
Self-hosting page: removed 30-line env var wall, LLM setup now
points to the template. Merged duplicate verify sections.
Removed api_key from SDK examples (auth off by default).
* docs: reorder next steps, configuration guide first
* fix: default embedding provider to openrouter for single-endpoint setup
Without this, embeddings default to openai which requires a separate
LLM_OPENAI_API_KEY. Setting to openrouter routes embeddings through
the same OpenAI-compatible endpoint as everything else.
* fix: review issues — hermes page, thinking budget, production wording
Hermes integration page: replaced inline Docker/manual setup with
link to self-hosting guide, added elkimek community link. Removed
old env var names (OPENAI_API_KEY without LLM_ prefix).
Troubleshooting: removed "or 1" from thinking budget guidance.
Self-hosting: softened "production-ready" to "production-oriented"
since auth is disabled by default.
* docs: model examples in template, expanded LLM setup, better verify flow
.env.template: added "e.g. google/gemini-2.5-flash" hints next to
model placeholders so users know the expected format.
Self-hosting: expanded LLM Setup to show the 3 things users need to
set (endpoint, key, model name) with find-replace tip. Added build
time note, deriver log check, and real smoke test (create workspace)
to verify section. Health check now notes it doesn't verify DB/LLM.
* fix: smoke test uses v3 API path, not v1
* docs: clarify deriver metrics port vs Prometheus host port
* fix: remove deprecated memoryMode from hermes config example
* docs: update hermes page to match current memory provider config
Updated config to match hermes-agent docs: removed apiKey (not needed
for self-hosted), added hermes memory setup CLI command, added config
fields table (recallMode, writeFrequency, sessionStrategy, etc.).
Better verification tests: store-and-recall across sessions, direct
tool calling test. Links to upstream hermes docs for full field list.
* fix: invalid THINKING_BUDGET_TOKENS=0 and missing docker/ in image
Comment out THINKING_BUDGET_TOKENS=0 in .env.template — deriver,
summary, and dream validators require gt=0. Dialectic levels also
commented out since non-thinking models don't need the override.
Add COPY for docker/ directory in Dockerfile so entrypoint.sh is
available when docker-compose.yml.example references it.
* chore: Additional troubleshooting step

- Enhanced `DialecticAgent` to utilize minimal tools and adjusted output token settings based on reasoning level to optimize performance and reduce costs.
* feat: add reasoning level to chat input in unified test runner

- Updated `BEAMRunner`, `LoCoMoRunner`, and `LongMemEvalRunner` to inherit from `RunnerMixin`, leveraging shared functionality for metrics collection and logging.
- Added `reasoning_level` and `redis_url` parameters to runner constructors for enhanced configuration.
- Streamlined argument parsing by utilizing `add_common_arguments` for shared command-line options across all runners.
