Teknium 8b6beaab5f docs: 30-day overhaul — correctness audit, PR coverage, Nous Portal weave, sidebar reorg (#33782)
* docs(audit): correctness pass across getting-started, reference, features, messaging, developer-guide, guides, integrations, user-guide

* docs: add PR coverage for last 30d + Nous Portal weave + nav reorg + build fixes

- Add docs for top user-visible PRs that shipped without docs (api-server
  session control, kanban features, telegram pin/edit, provider client tag,
  xAI retired-model migration, cron name lookup, --branch update flag, etc.)
- Apply Nous Portal weave across 23 pages (tasteful one-liners on
  getting-started/learning-path, configuration, overview, vision, x-search,
  credential-pools, provider-routing, cron, codex-runtime, profiles, docker,
  messaging/index, multiple guides, plus FAQ + index promotion)
- Reorganize sidebar: split Messaging into Popular/M365/Chinese/Other,
  Reference into Command/Configuration/Tools-Skills sub-categories, add
  orphan developer-guide pages (web-search-provider-plugin,
  browser-supervisor), move features from Integrations back to Features,
  fold lone spotify into Media & Web.
- Regenerate skill stubs + catalogs (kanban-codex-lane, hermes-s6-container-
  supervision, web-pentest)
- Fix broken anchor links (security/cron, configuration/fallback, telegram
  large-files, adding-platform-adapters step-by-step)

# Stocks Skill
Read-only market data via Yahoo Finance. Five commands: `quote`, `search`,
`history`, `compare`, `crypto`. Python stdlib only — no API key, no pip
installs. Yahoo's endpoint is unofficial and may rate-limit or change.
## When to Use
- User asks for a current stock price (AAPL, TSLA, MSFT, ...)
- User wants to look up a ticker by company name
- User wants OHLCV history or performance over a date range
- User wants to compare several tickers side by side
- User asks for a crypto price (BTC, ETH, SOL, ...)
## Prerequisites
Python 3.8+ stdlib only. Optional: set `ALPHA_VANTAGE_KEY` to enrich
`market_cap`, `pe_ratio`, and 52-week levels when Yahoo's crumb-protected
fields come back null. Free key: https://www.alphavantage.co/support/#api-key
## How to Run
Invoke through the `terminal` tool. Once installed:
```
SCRIPT=~/.hermes/skills/finance/stocks/scripts/stocks_client.py
python3 $SCRIPT quote AAPL
```
All output is JSON on stdout — pipe through `jq` if you want to slice it.
## Quick Reference
```
python3 $SCRIPT quote AAPL
python3 $SCRIPT quote AAPL MSFT GOOGL TSLA
python3 $SCRIPT search "Tesla"
python3 $SCRIPT history NVDA --range 6mo
python3 $SCRIPT compare AAPL MSFT GOOGL
python3 $SCRIPT crypto BTC ETH SOL
```
## Commands
### `quote SYMBOL [SYMBOL2 ...]`
Current price, change, change%, volume, 52-week high/low.
### `search QUERY`
Find tickers by company name. Returns top 5: symbol, name, exchange, type.
### `history SYMBOL [--range RANGE]`
Daily OHLCV plus stats (min, max, avg, total return %). Ranges: `1mo`,
`3mo`, `6mo`, `1y`, `5y`. Default: `1mo`.
### `compare SYMBOL1 SYMBOL2 [...]`
Side-by-side: price, change%, 52-week performance.
### `crypto SYMBOL [SYMBOL2 ...]`
Crypto prices. Pass `BTC` (the script appends `-USD` automatically).
## Pitfalls
- Yahoo Finance's API is unofficial. Endpoints can change or rate-limit
without notice — if requests start failing, that's why.
- `market_cap` and `pe_ratio` may return null on `quote` when Yahoo's
crumb session isn't established. Set `ALPHA_VANTAGE_KEY` to backfill.
- Add a small delay between bulk requests to avoid rate-limiting.
- This is read-only — no order placement, no account integration.
## Verification
```
python3 ~/.hermes/skills/finance/stocks/scripts/stocks_client.py quote AAPL
```
Returns a JSON object with `symbol: "AAPL"` and a numeric `price` field.
