🔴 Critical Issues Detected (24h)

1. Discord Platform Adapter Disabled

The Discord messaging adapter was disabled in /opt/data/config.yaml under plugins.disabled on 2026-09-28 17:45 UTC. Since then, no cron output (tower uptime reports, learning drips) can reach Discord DMs.

Evidence: 11+ occurrences of "No adapter available for discord" in gateway.log spanning 2026-09-28 17:45 to 2026-09-29 14:30. Cron job a69759413e81 (Tower uptime summary) runs successfully but fails delivery with "Discord plugin not registered or missing standalone_sender_fn". Job 5c1f24262eeb (Daily learning drip) also undeliverable.

Fix: Drop platforms/discord from plugins.disabled in config.yaml, then restart the gateway: systemctl restart hermes-gateway (or equivalent s6-svc command on this tower).

2. Discord Gateway WebSocket Health Loss

Even before the disable, 2026-09-29 12:13:36 shows a gateway websocket transport closure: "Discord Gateway WebSocket transport closed (socket_closed, 1/2)". This triggered "Fatal discord adapter error (discord_websocket_health_stale)".

Context: Rate limiting from Discord API started 2026-09-29 13:12 (429 responses on slash command sync, timeouts up to 421s). The adapter kept retrying but the websocket never fully recovered.

Fix: Verify Discord bot token is valid and has no IP restrictions. Check if Discord rate limits have cleared (they reset in ~15 min). Re-enable the adapter and let it reconnect naturally; it should succeed once the gateway restarts.

3. Cron Jobs Orphaned — No Visibility

Job a69759413e81 (Tower uptime summary) ran at 2026-09-29 15:30:05 (reported as "ok" by last_status), but Discord delivery is blocked. Job 5c1f24262eeb (Daily learning drip) similarly ran at 08:33:02 but was never delivered to home channel.

Impact: Both jobs completed successfully (the work is done), but the tower and user have no visibility into infra health, logs, or learned items because the delivery channel is offline.

Fix: Restore Discord adapter (above). Once reconnected, cron will start successfully delivering future runs. Consider configuring a fallback delivery target (e.g., local file to /opt/data/shared/ or email) for critical jobs to ensure visibility even if Discord is down.

⚡ Recommended Actions (Priority Order)

IMMEDIATE: Restore Discord adapter. Command (requires host access):

grep -n "platforms/discord" /opt/data/config.yaml && sed -i '/platforms\/discord/d' /opt/data/config.yaml && systemctl restart hermes-gateway

Verify: hermes cron list should show last_run delivery confirmed within 60s.

VERIFY: Check Discord bot token validity. Run hermes setup --portal and confirm the DISCORD_TOKEN in /opt/data/.env is current (no expiry, no revocation).

MONITOR: Set up fallback cron delivery. Edit the job configs to add a secondary target (e.g., --failure-deliver local to write to /opt/data/shared/ on delivery failure). This ensures visibility even during platform outages.

CLEANUP: Review why Discord was disabled. Check git history or backups to confirm this was intentional. If accidental, restore immediately. If intentional but now resolved, document the reason in a runbook for future operators.

CAPACITY: Disk usage at 28% with 70G available. Current rate sustainable for ~6 months. Monitor /opt/data/logs/ and /opt/data/cache/ for early cleanup if new features increase logging. No immediate action needed.
