darmanandClaude Opus 5 1fc4395068 hermes: add read-only Gitea PR comment filter, break the reply loop
The gitea-events subscription woke the agent on every delivery. That is an
unbounded loop as soon as she is given a prompt that tells her to answer on
the PR: her answer is itself a pull_request_comment, which wakes her again.

Adds a Hermes route script that drops the deliveries that must never reach an
LLM call: luna's own comments (the loop guard), "deleted" actions (the body
is still in the payload, so acting on one means acting on a request that was
explicitly withdrawn), non-pull-request comments, empty bodies, and edits
that did not actually change the body — a label or attachment change fires
"edited" too. Everything else passes through unchanged.

Mounted READ-ONLY from the nix store rather than written into hermesHome.
Hermes resolves route scripts under ~/.hermes/scripts, which here is inside
/opt/data — HERMES_WRITE_SAFE_ROOT — so a filter written there would be a
loop guard sitting in the writable root of the agent it constrains. Deleting
it fails closed (Hermes treats a missing script as "ignore"), but rewriting
it to always-allow would silently restore the loop. Read-only from the store
makes that impossible and keeps the guard in git.

The script also normalises changes.body.from to always exist. Gitea omits
`changes` entirely on created events, and Hermes replaces the prompt payload
with whatever JSON the script emits, so guaranteeing the key here means a
prompt referencing {changes.body.from} renders empty instead of leaving an
unfilled placeholder.

Note the stdout contract (gateway/platforms/webhook.py): only exactly
"[SILENT]", empty output, or a nonzero exit drop a delivery. Any OTHER text
on stdout lets it through and is attached as script_output — so a stray
debug print would silently defeat the filter. All diagnostics go to stderr,
and gitea-pr-comment-filter-test.py asserts that discipline along with each
drop rule (25 cases). Run it after any edit: the fail-closed behaviour means
a syntax error produces silence, not an error.

--events is still unset; event selection remains runtime-tunable policy.
The filter covers only what must not be.

"""Hermes webhook filter for Gitea pull_request_comment deliveries.
Contract (gateway/platforms/webhook.py): the payload arrives on stdin as JSON.
STDOUT IS A PROTOCOL CHANNEL, not a log:
- exactly "[SILENT]" -> delivery ignored, no agent run, no tokens spent
- a JSON object -> REPLACES the payload used by the prompt template
- any other text -> delivery is ALLOWED THROUGH and the text is attached
as script_output
That last case is why every diagnostic here goes to stderr. A stray print()
would not drop an event, it would let one through.
Empty stdout, a nonzero exit, a missing script, or a timeout also count as
"ignored", so this script fails CLOSED: if it breaks, nothing reaches the
agent rather than everything. That is the right direction for a loop guard,
but it does mean a syntax error silently disables the whole integration --
run the test file next to this one after editing.
Two jobs:
1. Filter. Drop the deliveries that must never wake the agent -- above all
luna's own comments, which would otherwise loop forever: the prompt tells
her to reply on the PR, and her reply is itself a pull_request_comment.
2. Normalise. Guarantee changes.body.from always exists, so the prompt's
{changes.body.from} renders as empty rather than as an unfilled
placeholder on "created" events, where Gitea omits `changes` entirely.
