teknium1 4abfb6bc24 feat(discord): default history backfill on, expand to per-user + threads
Follow-up to snav's PR #25463 contribution: flip default to on, broaden
scope so backfill fires whenever require_mention gates the bot (not just
shared-session channels).

Why:
- The mention-gate creates a session-transcript gap regardless of whether
  the channel is shared or per-user. In per-user sessions, Alice's session
  is still missing other participants' messages and her own pre-mention
  messages — backfill fills both gaps.
- Threads naturally scope to thread-only history because discord.py's
  channel.history() on a thread returns only that thread's messages.
- DMs still skip — every DM triggers the bot, so the session transcript
  is already complete.

Changes:
- hermes_cli/config.py: discord.history_backfill default → true
- gateway/platforms/discord.py: drop the _is_shared gate, keep _is_dm
  skip and _needed_mention gate; env var DISCORD_HISTORY_BACKFILL
  default → 'true'
- cli-config.yaml.example + website docs: update defaults and prose;
  add the DISCORD_HISTORY_BACKFILL / _LIMIT env var rows that were
  documented in the PR description but missing from the env-var table
- tests/gateway/test_discord_free_response.py:
  - flip test_discord_per_user_channel_does_not_backfill →
    test_discord_per_user_channel_backfills_too (new behavior)
  - add test_discord_dm_does_not_backfill (DM skip is invariant)
  - give FakeThread a no-op history() so existing thread tests don't hit
    a fake discord.Forbidden when backfill now fires on threads too

Tests: 160/160 in target files; 400/400 across all tests/gateway/ -k discord.

Website

This website is built using Docusaurus, a modern static website generator.

Installation

yarn

Local Development

yarn start

This command starts a local development server and opens up a browser window. Most changes are reflected live without having to restart the server.

Build

yarn build

This command generates static content into the build directory and can be served using any static contents hosting service.

Deployment

Using SSH:

USE_SSH=true yarn deploy

Not using SSH:

GIT_USER=<Your GitHub username> yarn deploy

If you are using GitHub pages for hosting, this command is a convenient way to build the website and push to the gh-pages branch.

Diagram Linting

CI runs ascii-guard to lint docs for ASCII box diagrams. Use Mermaid (````mermaid`) or plain lists/tables instead of ASCII boxes to avoid CI failures.
