Why

Q12: per-agent-repo config controls whether dispatches create posts. Sane defaults: marcus/cos always-on, marcus/cos-dispatcher never (operational telemetry), everything else opt-in.

Files

bridge/cos/config.go (new — load ~/.hermes/data/agent_post_config.json)
bridge/cos/dispatch.go (new — intercept dispatch events, create posts per config)
~/.hermes/data/agent_post_config.json (new — the config file itself)

Default config

{
  "default": "opt-in",
  "repos": {
    "marcus/cos": "always",
    "marcus/cos-dispatcher": "never",
    "marcus/engineering": "opt-in",
    "marcus/content": "opt-in",
    "marcus/vault": "opt-in",
    "marcus/health": "opt-in",
    "marcus/market": "opt-in",
    "marcus/trust": "opt-in",
    "marcus/coach": "opt-in"
  },
  "per_dispatch_override": "post_to_posts: true|false"
}

Behavior

always: every dispatch creates a post (title = first line of prompt, body = full prompt, channels = ["agents", "<agent-repo-slug>"])
never: dispatch is logged but no post
opt-in: only creates a post if post_to_posts: true is in the dispatch prompt
per_dispatch_override: per-dispatch true|false flag beats the repo default

Acceptance

A COS dispatch to marcus/cos creates a post
A COS dispatch to marcus/cos-dispatcher does NOT create a post
A COS dispatch to marcus/engineering with post_to_posts: true creates a post; without it, does not
The config file is hot-reloadable (SIGHUP or inotify)
Per-dispatch override beats repo default

## Why Q12: per-agent-repo config controls whether dispatches create posts. Sane defaults: `marcus/cos` always-on, `marcus/cos-dispatcher` never (operational telemetry), everything else opt-in. ## Files - `bridge/cos/config.go` (new — load `~/.hermes/data/agent_post_config.json`) - `bridge/cos/dispatch.go` (new — intercept dispatch events, create posts per config) - `~/.hermes/data/agent_post_config.json` (new — the config file itself) ## Default config ```json { "default": "opt-in", "repos": { "marcus/cos": "always", "marcus/cos-dispatcher": "never", "marcus/engineering": "opt-in", "marcus/content": "opt-in", "marcus/vault": "opt-in", "marcus/health": "opt-in", "marcus/market": "opt-in", "marcus/trust": "opt-in", "marcus/coach": "opt-in" }, "per_dispatch_override": "post_to_posts: true|false" } ``` ## Behavior - `always`: every dispatch creates a post (title = first line of prompt, body = full prompt, channels = `["agents", "<agent-repo-slug>"]`) - `never`: dispatch is logged but no post - `opt-in`: only creates a post if `post_to_posts: true` is in the dispatch prompt - `per_dispatch_override`: per-dispatch `true|false` flag beats the repo default ## Acceptance - A COS dispatch to `marcus/cos` creates a post - A COS dispatch to `marcus/cos-dispatcher` does NOT create a post - A COS dispatch to `marcus/engineering` with `post_to_posts: true` creates a post; without it, does not - The config file is hot-reloadable (SIGHUP or inotify) - Per-dispatch override beats repo default
