Ben Barclay d9f7e7ac81 fix(docker): seed gateway_state.json from HERMES_GATEWAY_BOOTSTRAP_STATE on first boot (#37896)
On a fresh volume there is no gateway_state.json, so the boot reconciler
(cont-init.d/02-reconcile-profiles) registers the gateway-default s6 slot
but leaves it down — it only auto-starts when the last recorded state was
"running". A freshly-provisioned container therefore comes up with the
gateway down until something starts it (e.g. the dashboard's start button).

Add a generic, first-boot-only env-seed in stage2-hook.sh (which runs
before 02-reconcile-profiles): when HERMES_GATEWAY_BOOTSTRAP_STATE=running
and no gateway_state.json exists yet, seed {"gateway_state":"running"} so
the reconciler brings the supervised slot up on the very first boot.

This mirrors the existing HERMES_AUTH_JSON_BOOTSTRAP pattern: it seeds the
same state file the reconciler already consults, guarded by [ ! -f ] so
persisted runtime state always wins on later boots (a deliberately-stopped
gateway stays stopped across restarts). Only the literal "running" is
honoured (the sole value in the reconciler's _AUTOSTART_STATES).

Generic container contract — no host-specific code. Useful to any
orchestrator that provisions a blank volume and wants the gateway up from
first boot (the supervised gateway/dashboard already work on such hosts;
only the first-boot autostart was missing because the CLI lifecycle
commands can't drive the s6 layer when container self-detection misses).

Adds a shell-level contract test and documents the env var.

Website

This website is built using Docusaurus, a modern static website generator.

Installation

yarn

Local Development

yarn start

This command starts a local development server and opens up a browser window. Most changes are reflected live without having to restart the server.

Build

yarn build

This command generates static content into the build directory and can be served using any static contents hosting service.

Deployment

Using SSH:

USE_SSH=true yarn deploy

Not using SSH:

GIT_USER=<Your GitHub username> yarn deploy

If you are using GitHub pages for hosting, this command is a convenient way to build the website and push to the gh-pages branch.

Diagram Linting

CI runs ascii-guard to lint docs for ASCII box diagrams. Use Mermaid (````mermaid`) or plain lists/tables instead of ASCII boxes to avoid CI failures.
