# Hermes Fallback Worker

A tiny Hugging Face Space used as a free, on-demand fallback worker for Hermes.

## Purpose

- Health/status check from server/GCP fallback.
- Telegram webhook for `@HermesFallbackFH_bot`.
- Lightweight AI replies through configured API fallback keys.
- Contains a `skills/` snapshot synchronized from the home Hermes server.
- Contains `model_chain.yaml`, a snapshot of the home Hermes model/custom-provider/fallback configuration. HF copy excludes the Cloudflare Workers AI provider because Hugging Face's abuse filter flags Spaces containing that provider string.
- No durable state and no production cron here.

## API

- `GET /healthz`
- `POST /run_task`
- `POST /telegram_webhook`

## Notes

Free CPU Spaces can sleep when inactive. Treat this as an auxiliary worker, not a 24/7 primary service.
