The desktop Remote gateway field asks for a session token that Hermes never
surfaces — by default web_server.py mints an ephemeral token per boot and
injects it into the served HTML, so there is nothing in config.yaml, /gateway,
or env to copy. Document that you pin it yourself via
HERMES_DASHBOARD_SESSION_TOKEN, run the backend with --insecure (keeps the
legacy token auth path instead of engaging the OAuth gate), then paste that
value into the desktop app.
- web-dashboard.md: new 'Connecting Hermes Desktop to a remote backend' section
(backend + desktop steps, --insecure vs OAuth-gate nuance, HERMES_DESKTOP_*
env override, Tailscale guidance, troubleshooting).
- environment-variables.md: new 'Web Dashboard & Hermes Desktop' env-var table
(HERMES_DASHBOARD_SESSION_TOKEN, HERMES_DESKTOP_REMOTE_URL/TOKEN, the OAuth
and public-url vars) — none were previously documented.
