# CTO Hermes Live Smoke Remote Sync PRD

Local planning SOT only. Not a Core Protocol. Not active Core authority.

## Problem Statement

Hermes consumed approval evidence is implemented and recorded locally. CTO needs a closeout that proves the plugin branch was synced to its remote and that a temporary Hermes WebUI boot smoke reached the CTO control endpoint and assets.

## Solution

Record remote sync and live boot smoke evidence for the Hermes CTO control surface. This proves the plugin can boot under the WebUI smoke path and expose `/api/cto/control-summary`, `cto_control_panel.js`, and `cto_control_panel.css` without editing upstream source.

## Scope

- Record remote push to `openharbor/jp`.
- Record Hermes plugin commit `6f694b4 feat(plugin): surface consumed CTO approval evidence`.
- Record boot smoke command `python3 scripts/boot-smoke.py`.
- Record `failed: 0`.
- Record `/api/cto/control-summary` smoke status accepted.
- Record `/plugins/svrnty/cto_control_panel.js` smoke status accepted.
- Record `/plugins/svrnty/cto_control_panel.css` smoke status accepted.
- Preserve that authentication redirects or 401 responses are acceptable smoke statuses under the plugin smoke contract.

## Non-goals

- Do not create a new JP approval.
- Do not rerun Case.
- Do not activate Case as default backend.
- Do not mutate target repositories.
- Do not edit upstream `hermes-webui`.
- Do not edit upstream `hermes-agent`.

## Acceptance Criteria

- `WORKBOARD.yaml` records `CTO-WORK-074` and `CTO-WORK-075` as validated.
- The closeout records `git push openharbor jp`.
- The closeout records `d302321..6f694b4  jp -> jp`.
- The closeout records `python3 scripts/boot-smoke.py`.
- The closeout records `failed: 0`.
- The closeout records `/api/cto/control-summary`.
- The closeout records `/plugins/svrnty/cto_control_panel.js`.
- The closeout records `/plugins/svrnty/cto_control_panel.css`.
- The closeout states upstream `hermes-webui` edited: false.
- The closeout states upstream `hermes-agent` edited: false.

## Validation

- `python3 tools/validate_cto_child.py`
- `python3 /home/svrnty/workspaces/cortex-os/core/tools/check_s69_caveman_prose_discipline.py`
