+# macOS File Delivery — Workspace Security Restriction
+
+> **Source**: Conversation 2026-07-22 (session `mrvqi0lwbwg569`)  
+> **Symptom**: Files in `~/.hermes/cache/documents/` cannot be accessed via Markdown links, even with angle brackets
+
+## Problem Description
+
+When attempting to send files with long Chinese filenames from `~/.hermes/cache/documents/` directory on macOS:
+
+1. File exists and is readable: `ls -la` confirms it
+2. File is in an "allowed" cache directory
+3. Markdown link uses angle brackets: `](</path/to/文件.md>)`
+4. **Error**: `File is outside the session and Hermes workspaces`
+
+## Root Cause
+
+Hermes security policy enforces that files must be within the **session workspace** (`~/.hermes/workspace/`) or explicitly allowed directories. Even though `~/.hermes/cache/` directories are listed as "safe roots" for MEDIA protocol, the **Markdown link delivery** path has stricter restrictions that only allow files within the active workspace.
+
+This is a **platform-specific behavior on macOS** where:
+- MEDIA protocol may work for some file types in cache dirs
+- Markdown links **always require** files to be in `~/.hermes/workspace/`
+
+## Reproduction Steps
+
+```bash
+# 1. Create a file with Chinese name in workspace
+echo "# Test" > "/Users/zhaoyuehui/.hermes/workspace/测试文件.md"
+
+# 2. Send via Markdown link — WORKS
+[测试文件](</Users/zhaoyuehui/.hermes/workspace/测试文件.md>)
+
+# 3. Copy to cache directory
+cp "/Users/zhaoyuehui/.hermes/workspace/测试文件.md" "/Users/zhaoyuehui/.hermes/cache/documents/"
+
+# 4. Try to send from cache — FAILS
+[测试文件](</Users/zhaoyuehui/.hermes/cache/documents/测试文件.md>)
+# Error: File is outside the session and Hermes workspaces
+```
+
+## Verified Workarounds
+
+### Workaround A: Keep Files in Workspace (Recommended)
+
+Always copy files to `~/.hermes/workspace/` before sending:
+
+```bash
+cp "/path/to/source/file.md" ~/.hermes/workspace/
+```
+
+Then send:
+```markdown
+[文件名](</Users/zhaoyuehui/.hermes/workspace/文件名.md>)
+```
+
+### Workaround B: Base64 Encoding (Most Reliable)
+
+When file cannot be moved to workspace (e.g., large files, read-only locations):
+
+```bash
+# Encode (macOS)
+base64 -i "/path/to/文件.md"
+
+# Encode (Linux)
+base64 "/path/to/文件.md"
+```
+
+Send the base64 string with decoding instructions:
+
+```
+文件已编码为 base64，请复制以下内容并解码：
+
+IyDplb/kuK3mlofmlofku7blkI3mtYvor5XmlofmoaMKCui/meaYr+S4gOS4queUqOS6ju...
+
+解码命令：
+echo "BASE64_CONTENT" | base64 -D > "文件名.md"  # macOS
+echo "BASE64_CONTENT" | base64 -d > "文件名.md"  # Linux
+```
+
+### Workaround C: Direct Content Display
+
+For small files (< 10KB), read and display content directly:
+
+```python
+from hermes_tools import read_file
+result = read_file("/path/to/file.md")
+print(result["content"])
+```
+
+## Diagnostic Checklist
+
+When encountering `File is outside the session and Hermes workspaces`:
+
+1. **Check file location**:
+   ```bash
+   echo "$PWD"
+   ls -la /path/to/file
+   ```
+
+2. **Verify if in workspace**:
+   ```bash
+   [[ "/path/to/file" == ~/.hermes/workspace/* ]] && echo "In workspace" || echo "Not in workspace"
+   ```
+
+3. **Try copying to workspace**:
+   ```bash
+   cp "/path/to/file" ~/.hermes/workspace/
+   ```
+
+4. **If copy fails or not desirable, use base64**:
+   ```bash
+   base64 -i "/path/to/file"
+   ```
+
+## Platform Differences
+
+| Platform | Cache Dir Links | Workspace Links | Base64 |
+|----------|----------------|-----------------|--------|
+| macOS    | ❌ Fails       | ✅ Works        | ✅ Works |
+| Linux    | ⚠️ Sometimes   | ✅ Works        | ✅ Works |
+| Windows  | ⚠️ Sometimes   | ✅ Works        | ✅ Works |
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Always prefer workspace directory** for files you want to send via Markdown links
+2. **For Chinese filenames, always use angle brackets**: `](</path/文件.md>)`
+3. **When in doubt, use base64** — it works everywhere and bypasses all path restrictions
+4. **For large files**, consider base64 or direct content display
+5. **Test file delivery early** in a session to confirm platform behavior
+
+## Related Issues
+
+- Windows path format: Use `C:/...` not `/c/...`
+- Chinese filename parsing: Always use angle brackets
+- MEDIA protocol initialization: May require gateway restart on macOS
+- Cache directory restrictions: Not all "safe roots" work for Markdown links
+
+## Key Takeaway
+
+**On macOS, Markdown file links only work for files in `~/.hermes/workspace/`. Files in `~/.hermes/cache/` directories will fail with "File is outside the session and Hermes workspaces" error.**
+
+Use one of these alternatives:
+1. Copy file to workspace (preferred for small/medium files)
+2. Use base64 encoding (works for any file, any location)
+3. Display content directly (for small files)
