Each run is told how in its `instructions`, which Hermes adds to the system prompt, over its own hint that its API server sends only pictures |

 | "Not right?" on a reply (ADR 0200) | a run of the agent that said it, in its session in the room, after the room's other turns: told its reply and the person's note (or, for a bare 👎, that there was none), it answers again in its place |
 | Fork (ADR 0087) | `POST /api/sessions/{id}/fork` of the agent's session in the room it is in (else the last it had), from its latest id when Hermes has compressed it, under an id made from the ask, so an ask heard twice forks once. Hermes ends the original as `branched`, and the original's runs go on in it. A turn still going isn't in the copy. An agent that never spoke is copied with nothing to remember |

 | Trouble on the harness | `GET /health` every 30 s, per profile |
+| Restart on its page (ADR 0094) | Hermes's gateway restarted on this machine, and Hermes shown as restarting until its API server answers again (below) |
 | Context (ADRs 0134, 0238) | the files Hermes builds the agent from: `SOUL.md` (who it is), `memories/USER.md` and `memories/MEMORY.md` in the profile's home, and the first project file with words in it in the folder Hermes's gateway works in (`.hermes.md`, `HERMES.md`, `AGENTS.md` and the rest Hermes looks for). The first profile's files and the project file are the harness's own set, since every new agent reads them; another profile's files are the agent's own until a fork reads them too. An edit is saved where Hermes reads it, only if the file is still the one the person changed. A memory file is saved as Hermes saves it, under its lock, entries apart by a line with only `§`, and an edit over Hermes's limit (2,200 and 1,375 characters unless `config.yaml` says others) is refused with how much to take out. The page says Hermes reads them when a conversation starts: a space already talking picks up a change after it next compacts |
 | Context window (ADR 0146) | how full the agent's session is, from the webhook below: the last model call's prompt tokens, of its model's window. A sharp drop in a session is a compaction, and a turn past half the window says its peak. Read only: the limit is the profile's `compression.threshold` (75% under 512K tokens unless set higher), and Hermes can't be asked to compact from Chips. Nothing is shown until Hermes's first reading |

+**Restart.** Restart on Hermes's page in Chips restarts Hermes's gateway, the process serving its
+API server at the agents' address, when that is on this machine:
+- Installed as Hermes's own service (`hermes gateway install`, so
+  `~/Library/LaunchAgents/ai.hermes.gateway.plist` or a systemd unit), `hermes gateway restart`.
+- Run by hand, the process listening on the API's port is stopped (SIGTERM, then SIGKILL if it is
+  still there 15 s later), only if it is this user's `hermes gateway run`. Anything else there is
+  left alone, and Chips says so. Then `hermes gateway run` is started again with the same words, in

+On a Mac whose Homebrew python@3.14 can't load macOS's expat, Hermes dies as it starts with

+`DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/homebrew/opt/expat/lib`, which macOS would drop at the wrapper, and its log
+says so.
 
 **Folders.** Each agent gets a folder of its own, `~/chips-hermes/agents/<its name>`, made the
 first time it is spoken to and kept by its Chips agent after a rename. Each run tells the agent it
