ARIA e5c7d690b8 HTTP fallback leg (docs/19): POST /v1/frame + SSE /v1/events + long-poll
Second, short-lived-connection transport next to the WS: same frames,
same outbox/cursor, same token, served over plain HTTP (stdlib
ThreadingHTTPServer bridged into the asyncio loop; zero new deps).

- http_server.py: /v1/health (unauthenticated), POST /v1/frame
  (accept-and-ack; validation rejections as 4xx error frames), SSE
  /v1/events (outbox catch-up with id=cursor, event: hello, 15s
  heartbeat, bounded-queue backpressure), long-poll /v1/poll (25s hold).
  Bearer token + X-Iris-Device (same allowlist as WS hello), 64 KiB body
  cap, per-device rate limit, optional TLS, non-fatal bind failure.
- ws_server.py: inbound dispatch chain extracted to shared
  dispatch_frame() used by both transports.
- adapter.py: ANDROID_HTTP_PORT/CERT/KEY config; start/stop next to the
  WS; delivery counting in _broadcast_or_log (an SSE subscriber is a
  live subscriber -> no push, docs/19 19.8); _reply() routes
  point-to-point replies into the in-flight HTTP response (reply sink)
  or broadcasts when the device has no live WS (19.7); status/typing/
  channel events fan out to both transports.
- ws_probe.py: --http mode (health + POST + SSE turn drive, same
  assertion flags); tests/README updated.
- Tests: hermes-agent/tests/gateway/test_android_http.py (23 tests,
  incl. the 19.8 delivery-counting regression); test_android.py (74)
  still green.

# Iris × Hermes — Implementation Reference Library
A coder-facing reference library for building a **native Android + Desktop
experience** for [hermes-agent](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent),
connected through a **gateway platform plugin**.
This folder is the single source of truth for *what to build and why*. Read it
top-to-bottom once, then use the numbered docs as a lookup while implementing.
> ⚠️ **READ FIRST — two hard rules**
>
> 1. **`hermes-agent/` (sibling of this folder) is a read-only research
> reference. It must NEVER be committed, pushed, or shipped.** It is
> git-ignored at the repo root. We only *install* our plugin into a live
> hermes install (`~/.hermes/plugins/`); we never modify hermes core.
> 2. **ADB is installed and a device is connected** (`a5ca2a4b`, Xiaomi MIX 2S,
> Android 10 / API 29). Use it to install/launch/debug the app on-device.

## The three deliverables (one monorepo)
1. **`gateway-plugin/`** — a Python hermes **platform plugin** named `android`.
Runs inside the `hermes gateway` process. Opens a WebSocket server the apps
connect to. Implements the full `BasePlatformAdapter` contract. **Zero new
Python dependencies, zero hermes-core changes.**
2. **`app/androidApp`** — native Kotlin + Jetpack Compose client.
3. **`app/desktopApp`** — Kotlin + Compose Multiplatform client that *shares*
the Android app's code and is "tweaked" for a big screen.
The Android and Desktop clients live in **one Compose Multiplatform Gradle
project** (`app/`) with a shared KMP module (`app/shared`).

## Status
- **Phase:** M0–M6 complete; M7 (polish + E2E + docs) in progress.
- **Owner decisions locked:** see [`16-open-questions.md`](16-open-questions.md).
- **Last updated:** 2026-08-19.
