+# API key registry and rotation checklist
+
+This registry groups supported environment keys so deployments can audit what is configured and rotate keys before a phase graduates.
+
+## Rotation policy
+
+- Treat all prototype keys as temporary.
+- Rotate a group when a feature moves from prototype to production, when access is shared with a new operator, or after any suspected leak.
+- Prefer provider dashboards or Infisical for storage. Do not commit real values to this repo.
+- Keep `.env` values scoped to the minimum deployment that needs them.

+When handing off a phase:
+
+1. Export the active key list from the deployment secret store.
+2. Compare it against this registry.
+3. Rotate keys in the provider dashboard.
+4. Update the deployment secret store.
+5. Restart Hermes Agent / Workspace services.
+6. Re-run provider/model checks in Workspace settings.

+# Run Hermes Workspace as a user service
+
+Hermes Workspace can run without keeping a terminal open. The helper below installs a **user-level** service, not a system-wide root service.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+```bash
+pnpm install
+pnpm build
+cp .env.example .env # if you have not configured it yet
+```
+
+Set at least the same environment you use for `pnpm start`, for example:
+
+```bash
+export HERMES_API_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8642
+export HERMES_DASHBOARD_URL=http://127.0.0.1:9119
+export HERMES_API_TOKEN=...
+```
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+chmod +x scripts/install-dashboard-service.sh
+scripts/install-dashboard-service.sh
+```
+
+Defaults:
+
+- `HOST=127.0.0.1`
+- `PORT=3000`
+- `NODE_ENV=production`
+- command: `pnpm start`
+
+Override them inline if needed:
+
+```bash
+PORT=3123 HOST=127.0.0.1 scripts/install-dashboard-service.sh
+```
+
+## macOS launchd
+
+The installer writes:
+
+```text
+~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.hermes.workspace.plist
+```
+
+Useful commands:
+
+```bash
+launchctl print gui/$(id -u)/com.hermes.workspace
+launchctl kickstart -k gui/$(id -u)/com.hermes.workspace
+tail -f logs/hermes-workspace.out.log logs/hermes-workspace.err.log
+```
+
+## Linux systemd user service
+
+The installer writes:
+
+```text
+~/.config/systemd/user/hermes-workspace.service
+```
+
+Useful commands:
+
+```bash
+systemctl --user status hermes-workspace
+journalctl --user -u hermes-workspace -f
+systemctl --user restart hermes-workspace
+```
+
+If you need the service after logout on Linux, enable lingering once:
+
+```bash
+loginctl enable-linger "$USER"
+```
+
+## Uninstall
+
+```bash
+scripts/install-dashboard-service.sh uninstall
+```
+
+## Security note
+
+Do not bind to `0.0.0.0` unless `HERMES_PASSWORD` and your reverse-proxy/auth setup are configured. Workspace exposes files, terminals, and agent controls, so loopback is the safe default.
