Added Pantheon sync handler. **BQC Fixes**: * Trust boundary enforcement: requested mirror path must match configured mirror candidates (`scripts/lib/hermes-admin-bridge.ts`). * External dependency resilience: git operations use the shared timeout/output cap runner (`scripts/lib/hermes-admin-bridge.ts`). *** ### Task T017 - Implement Document Writes **Started**: 2026-06-02 01:26 **Completed**: 2026-06-02 01:39 **Duration**: 13 minutes **Notes**: * Added document soft-delete, restore, and purge handlers. * Delete moves files to `.trash`; restore avoids clobbering existing files; purge requires confirmation. * All document writes reject traversal and symlink escapes. **Files Changed**: * `scripts/lib/hermes-admin-bridge.ts` - Added document write handlers. **BQC Fixes**: * Trust boundary enforcement: document and trash paths are confined and real-file checked before mutation (`scripts/lib/hermes-admin-bridge.ts`). * Failure path completeness: missing files, invalid IDs, and missing confirmation return explicit errors (`scripts/lib/hermes-admin-bridge.ts`). *** ### Task T018 - Implement Obsidian Write **Started**: 2026-06-02 01:26 **Completed**: 2026-06-02 01:39 **Duration**: 13 minutes **Notes**: * Added `POST /__hermes_obsidian` with explicit vault allow-list, confirmation, confined symlink creation, and README write inside Hermes memory. **Files Changed**: * `scripts/lib/hermes-admin-bridge.ts` -
