2026-10-05 — RUDR9 installed on Hermes hub

Installed RUDR9 (9-role AI engineering org) at commit e69e16e on the real hub C:\Users\fight\AppData\Local\hermes (HERMES_HOME overridden; installer default ~/.hermes would be phantom).
7 new profiles: planner, architect, vcm, builder, security, performance, reviewer. Default = CTO. Guard plugin enabled; long-task hook installed; kanban configured (orchestrator=default).
Default SOUL backed up (SOUL.md.rudr9-backup); config snapshot config.yaml.rudr9-preinstall-20261005-223958.bak.
Model: all 8 profiles → OpenRouter (or) deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash-0731 — one model for the whole team (all local endpoints were down). Smoke test passed (builder → SMOKE-OK).
Context7 MCP enabled on architect+builder (verified).
Blocked: GitHub MCP + VCM need a GitHub PAT (none on machine). Add to Documents\Vault\tokens_system.txt as GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN=... then wire to default/vcm/reviewer .env + enable.
