docs: deep audit — registry drift, stale claims, 2-week PR coverage, dashboard screenshot (#40952)

Full-corpus correctness audit of the hand-written docs against the codebase,
plus a 2-week merged-PR coverage sweep and one live dashboard screenshot.

Correctness (verified against COMMAND_REGISTRY / PROVIDER_REGISTRY / TOOLSETS /
tools.registry / DEFAULT_CONFIG / source):
- reference: add /version slash command, context_engine toolset, openai-api +
  novita-ai to --provider; fix tool count 64->71; model_catalog ttl 24->1;
  add profile describe to summary table; add real provider env vars
  (LM_API_KEY/LM_BASE_URL, KIMI_CODING_API_KEY, ALIBABA_CODING_PLAN_*,
  ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL, COPILOT_API_BASE_URL); fix faq "Windows: not natively".
- user-guide: fix broken `hermes -w -q` (->-z) and `hermes logs --tail` (->-f);
  language list 8->16; aux slots 8->11; docker separate-dashboard claim;
  _SECURITY_ARGS -> _BASE_SECURITY_ARGS.
- features: curator prune_builtins truth + missing CLI verbs; codex-runtime aux
  keys (context_compression->compression, vision_detect->vision); kanban
  terminate endpoint + promote/reassign/schedule/diagnostics/edit + per-profile
  cap; mcp mTLS (client_cert/client_key); built-in-plugins nemo_relay +
  teams_pipeline; api-server run approval endpoint; computer-use frontmatter.
- features N-Z + integrations: StepFun step-3-mini->step-3.5-flash; web-search
  backends 4->8; tool-gateway image-model IDs; voice-mode STT/TTS enums; remove
  phantom `rl` toolset; nous-portal status subcommand.
- messaging: WeCom typing/streaming cols; telegram transport default edit->auto;
  sms host default; simplex/ntfy `gateway setup` + pairing approve; line
  smart-chunking; matrix MATRIX_DM_AUTO_THREAD.
- developer-guide: build-a-plugin code examples (register_command signature,
  ContextEngine/ImageGenProvider/MemoryProvider ABCs); model-provider-plugin
  entry-point group hermes.plugins->hermes_agent.plugins; PLUGIN.yaml->plugin.yaml;
  agent-loop stale LOC; web-search-provider phantom crawl().

PR coverage (2-week window, 149 feat PRs):
- desktop.md refreshed for ~15 shipped features (zh-Hans switcher, rebindable
  shortcuts + zoom + Cmd+K, status-bar model picker + YOLO toggle, session-by-id
  + archive, multi-profile concurrent + cross-profile @session, composer history,
  Providers pane, per-profile remote hosts, Grok OAuth, aux-pin warning).
- configuration.md gateway-streaming default corrected to per-platform.
- tool-gateway.md free tool pool entitlement note.

Media:
- New /img/dashboard/admin-config.png — live dashboard Config admin page
  (captured from a clean profile, no secrets/personalization).

- **The same conversation history** as every other Hermes surface — sessions started here resume in the CLI/TUI and vice versa.

- **A right-hand preview rail** — render web pages, files, and tool outputs side by side while you keep chatting.
- **Composer history and queue editing** — press the up/down arrow keys in an empty composer to recall and reuse previous prompts, and edit messages you've queued up before they're sent.
#### Status bar
The bar along the bottom of the chat shows live session state and exposes quick controls without opening Settings:
- **Inline model picker** — switch the model for the active session straight from the status bar.
- **Per-session YOLO toggle** — flip YOLO on or off for just this session (matching the TUI). YOLO bypasses the dangerous-command approval prompts, so know what you're turning off — see [Security → YOLO Mode](./security.md#yolo-mode).
Chatting against a Hermes instance on another machine instead of the bundled local backend?

Manage providers, models, tools, and credentials from a real UI instead of editing YAML. First-run onboarding gets you to your first message in seconds. The settings panes cover providers/keys, model selection, toolset configuration, MCP servers, the gateway, and session management.
- **Providers settings pane** — a dedicated place to manage inference providers, with an Accounts / API-keys UX for signing in and storing credentials per provider.
- **Every provider and model in the menus** — the GUI surfaces the full provider list and every model that `hermes model` knows about, so you pick from the same catalog the CLI sees rather than a curated subset.
- **xAI Grok OAuth** — Grok is a first-class OAuth provider in the launcher; sign in through the browser flow like the other OAuth providers.
- **Tool-backend installs from the GUI** — run a tool backend's post-setup install steps directly from the app instead of dropping to a terminal.
- **Auxiliary-model warning** — if you switch the main model to a new provider while auxiliary tasks (titling, summarization, and similar helpers) are still pinned to another provider, the app warns you so you don't unknowingly split work across two providers.
First-run onboarding has been redesigned on a unified overlay design system, and you can pick **Choose provider later** to skip provider setup and get into the app first.

### Keyboard & navigation
- **Command palette** — press **Cmd+K** (Ctrl+K on Windows/Linux) to jump to actions and navigate the app from the keyboard.
- **Rebindable shortcuts** — a shortcuts panel in Settings lets you remap the app's keyboard shortcuts to your own keys.
- **Custom zoom shortcuts** — zoom the interface in half-step increments for finer control over text size.
- **UI language switcher** — change the app's interface language in-app, including Simplified Chinese (zh-Hans).
### Sessions & profiles
- **Session-list overhaul** — a reworked session list with archiving and general session hygiene to keep the list manageable as it grows.
- **Search sessions by id** — find a specific session directly by its id.
- **Concurrent multi-profile sessions** — run sessions across multiple [profiles](./profiles.md) at the same time, and reference a session in another profile with cross-profile `@session` links.

You can also set the backend URL without the UI via the `HERMES_DESKTOP_REMOTE_URL` environment variable before launching the app (it overrides the in-app setting); you still sign in from the Gateway settings panel.
:::note Per-profile remote hosts
The remote gateway host is configured per [profile](./profiles.md), so each profile can point at its own remote backend (or stay on its local one). Switching profiles switches which remote host the app connects to.

### Troubleshooting
- **Sign-in fails with 401 / "Invalid credentials"** — the username or password doesn't match the backend's `HERMES_DASHBOARD_BASIC_AUTH_USERNAME` / `HERMES_DASHBOARD_BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD`. The backend returns the same generic error for an unknown user and a wrong password (no enumeration oracle), so double-check both. Confirm the gate is on with `curl -s http://<host>:9119/api/status | jq '.auth_required, .auth_providers'` — it should report `true` and include `"basic"`.
