feat(dashboard): close Phase 6 (trend cards + theme toggle), drop-root scaffold, Agents inventory, Phase 0 reconfirm

Closes the remaining tractable items from the carry-forward queue.

1. Drop-root scaffold for the backend container (P2 mitigation)
   `backend/Dockerfile` adds non-root `app` user (uid 1001) + `docker`
   group (gid via `DOCKER_GID` build arg, default 999). `BACKEND_USER`
   build arg defaults to `root` so existing deployments keep working;
   set it to `app` plus `DOCKER_GID=$(getent group docker | cut -d: -f3)`
   to flip the runtime non-root. `dashboard/DEPLOYMENT.md` gets a new
   "Running non-root" section with the exact `chgrp`/`chmod` recipe
   for the bind-mounted log files (the host-side prep that pairs with
   the build flip). DEPLOYMENT.md mitigation roadmap updated.

2. Phase 6 trend cards
   `lib/hermes-ops-history.ts` keeps the last 24 ops snapshots in
   localStorage (de-duped on `generatedAt`, schema-guarded on read,
   degrades silently on quota exceeded). Three trend cards in the
   ops panel:
     - Warning-volume sparkline + current count
     - Healthy-instance count sparkline (X/2)
     - Per-instance "minutes since last backup commit" with a 30m
       stale threshold
   SVG polyline sparklines, no chart library — `<svg viewBox="0 0
   100 100" preserveAspectRatio="none">` with `vector-effect:
   non-scaling-stroke` so the line stays 2px regardless of the
   parent's width.

3. Phase 6 theme toggle
   `components/theme-toggle.tsx` Sun/Moon button mounted in the
   Hermes layout next to the instance switcher. Persists in
   localStorage `bytelyst.theme.v1`. The design system already
   defined `[data-theme="light"]` overrides in `styles/tokens.css`;
   the toggle just sets the attribute. FOUC-prevention inline script
   in the root layout reads the same key BEFORE React hydrates so
   the first paint matches the user's last choice.

4. Phase 3 partial close: Agents pane → telemetry inventory
   `/hermes/agents` now renders a "Memory & Skills inventory (live)"
   SectionCard backed by the Phase 3 telemetry endpoint per instance
   — `hermes memory list` and `hermes skills list` rendered with
   per-section probe-status badges (`up`/`unknown`), item counts,
   and the first N entries each. Agent **health** statuses (latency,
   failure rate, last-success/failure) stay seed-data — observability
   for those needs a separate ingestion contract that the telemetry
   endpoint doesn't provide today.

5. Phase 0 reconfirmation
   Roadmap Phase 0 ticked with explicit verification notes for each
   guardrail (no public listener, manual approvals, secret hygiene,
   Caddy review). Remains "must hold throughout" — the ticks reflect
   today's verified state, not single-checkbox completion.

Verified: backend typecheck ✅, 74/74 backend unit tests ✅, web
typecheck ✅, 7/7 E2E ✅, lint 0 errors, build green, coverage gate
≥95% lines on every gated file.

+### Running non-root
+
+Concrete recipe to flip the backend off root:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Find the host's docker group GID
+DOCKER_GID=$(getent group docker | cut -d: -f3)
+
+# 2. Make the bind-mounted log files group-owned by docker and group-writable
+#    so the in-container `app` user (gid=$DOCKER_GID) can read/write them.
+sudo chgrp docker /var/log/vm-cleanup.log /var/log/vm-health-check.log /var/log/docker-watchdog.log
+sudo chmod g+rw /var/log/vm-cleanup.log /var/log/vm-health-check.log /var/log/docker-watchdog.log
+
+# 3. Confirm the VM scripts mount is world-readable (it's read-only inside
+#    the container, so 0o755 on the directory is enough).
+sudo chmod -R o+rX /opt/bytelyst/learning_ai_devops_tools/scripts
+
+# 4. Rebuild the backend image with BACKEND_USER=app and the host's GID.
+cd /opt/bytelyst/learning_ai_devops_tools/dashboard
+docker compose build --build-arg BACKEND_USER=app --build-arg DOCKER_GID=$DOCKER_GID backend
+
+# 5. Restart and verify
+docker compose up -d backend
+docker exec devops-backend whoami   # → app
+docker exec devops-backend id       # uid=1001(app) gid=$DOCKER_GID(docker)
+curl -fsS http://localhost:4004/health
+```
+
+If the backend can't reach the docker socket after the flip, double-check
+the in-container `id` matches `getent group docker` on the host. The
+`docker.sock` bind-mount carries its host ownership into the container,
+so the in-container gid must match.
+

 before doing so. Adding a new shell-out path in code is a **privilege change**
 and must update this table in the same commit.

+- [x] No public Caddy route or public listener for **any** Hermes dashboard, the `hermes-ops` API, or the DevOps dashboard's hermes data. Private-only via Tailscale / SSH tunnel / loopback. *(Verified: `dashboard/docker-compose.yml` binds backend `127.0.0.1:4004:4004` and web `127.0.0.1:3049:3000` (loopback only). The backend listens on `0.0.0.0:4004` **inside the container** — that's the standard pattern and isn't reachable from outside the host. `/api/hermes/ops` and `/api/hermes/telemetry/:instance` both gate on `requireAdmin` (Phase 7). No new Caddy/Traefik label exposes a hermes path publicly.)*
+- [x] Keep Hermes command approvals at `manual` or `smart`; no gateway approval bypass. *(Out of scope for this codebase — gateway approval lives in Hermes itself, not the dashboard. The dashboard never originates an approval bypass; the new `/code-quality/check` change tightened auth + path validation rather than loosening any approval flow.)*
+- [x] No raw secrets, tokens, OAuth files, `state.db`, or SQLite WAL/SHM in any git backup or in this repo. *(`pnpm secret-scan` runs on every CI build (`.gitea/workflows/ci.yml` "Secret scan" step). Backend's `lib/logger.ts` redacts `Authorization`/`Cookie`/`*.token`/`JWT_SECRET`/`COSMOS_KEY`/`AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET` from any logged object. No `.env`/`state.db` tracked. Telegram convention doc explicitly says "don't paste tokens".)*
+- [x] Re-run the Caddy/port review (`docs/hermes-operations.md`) before adding any route or hostname. *(No new public routes/hostnames added this session. The `dashboard/DEPLOYMENT.md` "Ports — quick reference" table is the single source of truth and matches `docker-compose.yml`. If Phase 4 (Bheem/Uma parity) introduces a new Uma dashboard URL, the brief explicitly requires updating this section in the same change.)*

Agent **health** statuses (latency, failure rate, last-success/failure) are still seed-data; lighting those up needs a separate observability contract — telemetry only exposes inventory today.)*
 - [ ] Convert **History** (`/hermes/history`) to real session/cron/backup trends. *(Deferred: depends on real session timeseries.)*

The 50-item seed remains below in a clearly-labelled "Planned products (seed data)" section per the roadmap's "optional manual entries for not-yet-deployed products come later" note. New E2E mocks for `/api/services` + `/api/health` keep the suite deterministic.)*

SVG polyline sparklines, no chart library.)*
 - [x] Deep links from the ops panel → Task Ledger filtered to the relevant instance/most-recent work. *(Per-instance "View tasks" button on each ops-panel `InstanceCard` links to `/hermes/tasks?instance=<id>`. `HermesInstanceProvider` now hydrates from the `?instance=` URL param on mount (winning over the persisted localStorage selection) and keeps the param meaningful for back/forward + copy-paste.)*
 - [x] Per-instance action rows beyond copy-link/open-dashboard: open-runbook, copy SSH/tunnel command, "how to restart this gateway". *(InstanceCard now exposes "Copy SSH command" (Tailscale-scoped: `tailscale ssh root@<tailscale-ip>` for Vijay, `tailscale ssh uma@<tailscale-ip>` for Bheem — never raw `ssh`), "View tasks" deep link, and "Open runbook" pointing at `docs/hermes-operations.md`. "How to restart this gateway" is intentionally a runbook link rather than a button — restarting is a privileged action that should go through the runbook, not the dashboard.)*
-- [ ] Optional dark/light theme toggle if the shell supports it. *(Deferred — design system uses CSS custom properties throughout (`var(--bl-*)`) so a toggle is feasible, but the shell doesn't expose a switch primitive yet.)*
+- [x] Optional dark/light theme toggle if the shell supports it. *(`components/theme-toggle.tsx` Sun/Moon button mounted in the Hermes layout next to the instance switcher. Persists in localStorage `bytelyst.theme.v1`; an inline FOUC-prevention script in the root layout reads the same key and applies `data-theme` to `<html>` before React hydrates so the first paint matches the user's last choice. The design system already had `[data-theme="light"]` overrides in `styles/tokens.css`; the toggle just flips them on.)*
 - [ ] Unified alerts feed across both instances on the overview. *(Partially achieved by `recentAlerts` + the new severity filter on the ops panel; full per-instance roll-up of telemetry watchdog alerts is queued behind a UI consumer for the new `/api/hermes/telemetry/:instance` endpoint.)*
