AI Summary: This issue proposes enhancing the CI process to validate Hermes' governance files against their defined schemas. The goal is to ensure that these files adhere to the expected structure and syntax, failing the build if any discrepancies are found. This will improve the reliability and consistency of governance configurations.

AI Summary: This issue proposes documenting the `bashunit::unmock` function in the project's documentation. Currently, `bashunit::unmock`, which removes mocks and cleans up their state, is not adequately explained in the relevant documentation pages. The documentation should clarify its signature, behavior, and when it's necessary, especially concerning the automatic cleanup after each test and its use for mocks set up before a script.

AI Summary: This issue proposes to enhance `bashunit::mock` to accept an optional second argument for specifying an exit code, mirroring the functionality of `bashunit::spy`. This change aims to simplify error-path testing by allowing direct simulation of command failures without requiring auxiliary helper functions, making the mocking and spying functionalities symmetric.

AI Summary: The `setFee` function in `bridge.ts` lacks client-side validation for the fee amount, allowing values outside the documented 0-1000 bps range. This issue requires adding a check to ensure the fee is within the valid range before making an RPC call and updating the corresponding test to verify this client-side rejection.

AI Summary: The MIGRATION.md file contains numerous references to SDK methods that do not exist in the codebase, as confirmed by searches in `sdk/src/bridge.ts` and `sdk/src/types.ts`. Additionally, an incorrect Rust target triple is used in a build command. The task involves correcting these method names and the target triple, and implementing a test to prevent future drift.
