initial: identity resolution plugin

- Plugin manifest (plugin.yaml) with pre_gateway_dispatch + on_session_start hooks
- /identity slash command for config management
- Honcho injector patch docs (6 lines in plugins/memory/honcho/__init__.py)
- Config file at /opt/data/identity-config.json for persistence
- Kanban task body convention: context_peer: <name>
- Sample config with thierry/catherine mappings

Architecture: user-installed plugin (hooks + CLI) + 6-line Honcho bundled plugin change

# Enforcing context_peer in the kanban-worker skill
Profiles (Claire, Ashley, Finn, Matt) must include `context_peer: <name>` in
every `kanban_create` call. This document covers how to enforce it.
## Option 1: Profile system prompt (recommended, no code change)
Add to each profile's system prompt or skill config:
> When creating a kanban task with `kanban_create`, you MUST include
> a `context_peer: <name>` metadata block in the task body. The peer
> must be the intended user's Honcho peer name (e.g., `thierry`,
> `catherine`), not your own profile name.
>
> Format:
> ```metadata
> context_peer: thierry
> ```
## Option 2: kanban-create wrapper tool
Create a custom tool in `/opt/data/hermes-tools/` that wraps `kanban_create`
and rejects calls without `context_peer` in the body.
This approach requires the persistent tools volume (already used for QET,
Gitea, Ollama tools) and a tool registration in the Docker entrypoint.
## Option 3: Slash command validation
The `/identity` command includes a `validate` subcommand that checks recent
kanban tasks for missing `context_peer` fields.
```bash
/identity validate
```

# Honcho Injector Patch
The identity plugin cannot directly inject `runtime_user_peer_name` into
Honcho from a user-installed hook (the hook system only allows message
rewrite/skip, not user_id modification). Instead, we add ~6 lines in the
bundled Honcho plugin's session initialization.
## File
`plugins/memory/honcho/__init__.py` — line ~362
## The change
### Before
```python
runtime_user_peer_name=kwargs.get("user_id") or None,
```
### After
```python
runtime_user_peer_name=kwargs.get("user_id") or _resolve_identity_peer(),
```
### Add this function in the same file (or import from the identity plugin)
```python
def _resolve_identity_peer() -> str | None:
"""Resolve peer name from env vars and identity config.
Priority: HERMES_HONCHO_PEER_NAME → kanban task body context_peer
→ kanban board config → None (falls through to Honcho default).
"""
import json, os, sqlite3, re
from pathlib import Path
# 1. Explicit env override
explicit = os.environ.get("HERMES_HONCHO_PEER_NAME")
if explicit:
return explicit
# 2. Kanban worker: read task body for context_peer
task_id = os.environ.get("HERMES_KANBAN_TASK")
db_path = os.environ.get("HERMES_KANBAN_DB")
if task_id and db_path:
db = Path(db_path)
if db.exists():
try:
conn = sqlite3.connect(str(db))
conn.row_factory = sqlite3.Row
try:
row = conn.execute(
"SELECT body FROM tasks WHERE id = ?", (task_id,)
).fetchone()
if row and row["body"]:
m = re.search(r"context_peer:\s*(\S+)", row["body"])
if m:
return m.group(1)
finally:
conn.close()
except Exception:
pass
# 3. Identity config file
cfg_path = Path("/opt/data/identity-config.json")
if cfg_path.exists():
try:
cfg = json.loads(cfg_path.read_text())
# Check kanban board config
board = os.environ.get("HERMES_KANBAN_BOARD")
if board and board in cfg.get("boards", {}):
return cfg["boards"][board]
# Use fallback
return cfg.get("fallback_peer")
except Exception:
pass
return None
```
## How it works
1. When a **gateway session** starts, `kwargs["user_id"]` carries the platform
ID (Discord snowflake, Telegram UID). The identity config file maps these
to canonical peer names. The injector is bypassed — normal flow.
2. When a **kanban worker** starts, `kwargs["user_id"]` is None (no gateway).
The injector kicks in:
a. Checks `HERMES_HONCHO_PEER_NAME` env var (set by a future dispatcher
enhancement or manually).
b. Reads the kanban task body from the SQLite database, extracts
`context_peer: <name>` from the body.
c. Falls back to the board-level config from identity-config.json.
d. If nothing resolves → returns None → Honcho creates `user-default-*`
as today (safe fallback).
## Why not modify the kanban dispatcher?
The kanban dispatcher (`hermes_cli/kanban_db.py:_default_spawn`) is core
Hermes code. We avoid touching it. Instead, the Honcho injector reads the
task directly from the kanban DB using env vars that are already set
(`HERMES_KANBAN_TASK`, `HERMES_KANBAN_DB`, `HERMES_KANBAN_BOARD`).
This adds ~10 microseconds to worker startup — negligible.
## Compatibility
- If the identity plugin is removed, the injector function returns None and
Honcho behaves exactly as before.
- If the config file is missing, same safe fallback.
- No data loss risk.
