🟡 Broken anchor link to Part 3 — resolves against the wrong file
The link [Part 3](#part-3-lightrag--graph-rag-that-actually-works) at part9-custom-models.md:18 uses a #-only anchor, which resolves relative to the current file (part9-custom-models.md). That anchor only exists as a heading in README.md, so this link is broken when viewed from the Part 9 page. It should link to either ./part3-lightrag-setup.md or ./README.md#part-3-lightrag--graph-rag-that-actually-works.

| - **Sessions DB** — merges are deduplicated by session UUID; no risk of collisions. | ||
| - **Skills with shell scripts** — Unix permissions (`+x`) are preserved inside the archive. On Windows, you'll need WSL to run script-based skills anyway. | ||
| - **Config path rewriting** — on import, Hermes detects stale paths (e.g. `/home/alice/...` on a machine where `alice` doesn't exist) and prompts you to fix them before writing. | ||
| - **LightRAG data** — lives outside `~/.hermes`, so it's not in the backup. Back up `~/.hermes/lightrag` separately with `tar` or re-ingest on the new machine. |

🟡 Contradictory statement: LightRAG data claimed to live outside ~/.hermes but path is inside it
Line 133 of part16-backup-debug.md states "LightRAG data — lives outside ~/.hermes" and then immediately directs users to "Back up ~/.hermes/lightrag separately." The path ~/.hermes/lightrag is inside ~/.hermes, contradicting the claim. Per the Part 3 setup instructions in README.md:660-661, LightRAG is installed at ~/.hermes/lightrag/. The likely intent is that the hermes backup command doesn't include the lightrag/ subdirectory (it only covers specific paths like config.yaml, .env, memories/, skills/, sessions.db, plugins/), not that the data lives elsewhere.

Summary
Two major Hermes releases shipped in the past week — v0.9.0 "Everywhere" (2026.4.13) and v0.10.0 "Tool Gateway" (2026.4.16). The guide was stuck at "tested on latest — April 2026" with no coverage of either. This PR brings it fully current.
Added — 5 new parts (
part12–part16)hermes dashboard, the new full-browser UI covering status, config, API keys, sessions (FTS5 search), logs (live tail), analytics (token + cost), cron, skills, the/reloadslash command, the REST API, and dashboard plugins.use_gateway: true, precedence rules, self-hosted gateway env vars, FAQ, cost playbook./fastpriority-tier inference on OpenAI/Anthropic across all 16 gateway platforms,watch_patternsreal-time regex event hooks on background processes (with recipes), the pluggable context engine, and/compress <topic>./debug—hermes backup(what's included/redacted, recipes),hermes import(interactive conflict resolution),/debug+hermes debug share, plus a consolidated security hardening section (webhook secret validation, SSRF protection, env redaction, subagent approval inheritance).Updated

Parts 1–3, 5–8, 10, 11 are unchanged. They're still accurate under v0.10.0.
