-"""
-Session-scoped context variables for the Hermes gateway.
-
-Replaces the previous ``os.environ``-based session state
-(``HERMES_SESSION_PLATFORM``, ``HERMES_SESSION_CHAT_ID``, etc.) with
-Python's ``contextvars.ContextVar``.
-
-**Why this matters**
-
-The gateway processes messages concurrently via ``asyncio``.  When two
-messages arrive at the same time the old code did:
-
-    os.environ["HERMES_SESSION_THREAD_ID"] = str(context.source.thread_id)
-
-Because ``os.environ`` is *process-global*, Message A's value was
-silently overwritten by Message B before Message A's agent finished
-running.  Background-task notifications and tool calls therefore routed
-to the wrong thread.
-
-``contextvars.ContextVar`` values are *task-local*: each ``asyncio``
-task (and any ``run_in_executor`` thread it spawns) gets its own copy,
-so concurrent messages never interfere.
-
-**Backward compatibility**
-
-The public helper ``get_session_env(name, default="")`` mirrors the old
-``os.getenv("HERMES_SESSION_*", ...)`` calls.  Existing tool code only
-needs to replace the import + call site:
-
-    # before
-    import os
-    platform = os.getenv("HERMES_SESSION_PLATFORM", "")
-
-    # after
-    from gateway.session_context import get_session_env

-Hermes Agent integrates with Matrix, the open, federated messaging protocol. Matrix lets you run your own homeserver or use a public one like matrix.org — either way, you keep control of your communications. The bot connects via the `mautrix` Python SDK, processes messages through the Hermes Agent pipeline (including tool use, memory, and reasoning), and responds in real time. It supports text, file attachments, images, audio, video, and optional end-to-end encryption (E2EE).

 Hermes works with any Matrix homeserver — Synapse, Conduit, Dendrite, or matrix.org.

 | **Rooms** | By default, Hermes requires an `@mention` to respond. Set `MATRIX_REQUIRE_MENTION=false` or add room IDs to `MATRIX_FREE_RESPONSE_ROOMS` for free-response rooms. Room invites are auto-accepted. |
 | **Threads** | Hermes supports Matrix threads (MSC3440). If you reply in a thread, Hermes keeps the thread context isolated from the main room timeline. Threads where the bot has already participated do not require a mention. |
 | **Auto-threading** | By default, Hermes auto-creates a thread for each message it responds to in a room. This keeps conversations isolated. Set `MATRIX_AUTO_THREAD=false` to disable. |
