### `nemohermes <name> sessions export [keys...]`

Export the OpenClaw session JSONL from a running sandbox to the host, replacing the two-hop `docker exec kubectl cp` plus `docker cp` workaround.
Export the agent's session history from a running sandbox to the host.
The command routes by the sandbox's agent kind recorded in the registry.

The command always enumerates the session store through `openclaw sessions list --agent <id> --json` and copies only the matching `<sessionId>.jsonl` (plus optional `<sessionId>.trajectory.jsonl`) files, so the export never picks up `sessions.json`, stale `.jsonl.lock` files, or other store bookkeeping.
For an OpenClaw sandbox, the command enumerates the session store through `openclaw sessions list --agent <id> --json` and copies only the matching `<sessionId>.jsonl` (plus optional `<sessionId>.trajectory.jsonl`) files, so the export never picks up `sessions.json`, stale `.jsonl.lock` files, or other store bookkeeping.
By default it writes a browsable directory of session files (`dir` format); pass `--format tar` for a single `.tgz` bundle suited to sharing or upload.
With no positional keys, the command exports every session for the agent.
Pass one or more keys (alias or canonical `agent:<id>:<rest>`) to filter.

For a Hermes sandbox, the command invokes the in-sandbox `hermes sessions export` against a staging path under `/sandbox/.nemoclaw-staging` (the same downloadable workspace boundary OpenClaw uses), then downloads the resulting single JSONL stream to the host.
Hermes stores session history in a SQLite database, so the command refuses positional keys, `--format tar`, and `--include-trajectory` with a clear error when the sandbox is Hermes.
`--agent` accepts only `hermes` as a no-op alias on a Hermes sandbox and rejects any other value.
The host destination defaults to `./sessions-<sandbox>.jsonl`; `--out` picks a different path.
