Hermes describes itself as: =============================== Emacs frontend for Hermes Agent =============================== More at https://elpa.nongnu.org/nongnu/hermes.html ## Summary: ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ EMACS-HERMES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ <https://elpa.nongnu.org/nongnu/hermes.svg> An Emacs front-end for Hermes Agent, driven over the dashboard/TUI gateway. ## Recent NEWS: ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ EMACS-HERMES CHANGELOG ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 1 Unreleased ════════════ 2 Version 0.5.0 (2026-09-05) ════════════════════════════ • Added `C-c C-w' (`hermes-chat-work') to inspect a chat's observed delegates and registered background processes in a native tabulated list. `RET' opens details, `g' refreshes, `h' explains scope, and `i' opens instance-wide subagents. The view reports stale or incomplete observations; it is not a complete work history, and disappearance does not imply completion. • Kept idle chat headers quiet and showed observed running delegates as `🤖 N', with an `Agents N' fallback when the selected frame cannot display the icon. The actions menu's Inspect group shows `Workers N' with a separately styled count. Unknown or stale observations use `🤖 ?' rather than implying zero workers. Narrow headers preserve attention states and YOLO warnings before optional details. • Replaced repeated reasoning updates with a temporary `Thinking…' row that disappears when tools or replies arrive. Added transcript-button navigation with `TAB' and `S-TAB', and `C-c C-j' to return to the composer; `TAB' still completes text in the composer. • Activated work observation for already attached chats after `make load', without restarting their sessions or changing drafts. Existing observation requests and timers are preserved. • Preserved draft undo and narrowing while the transcript updates, and kept native diff navigation relative to the chat that opened the diff. • Restored running turns when resuming saved sessions. Fixed submission settlement when a turn finishes before its acknowledgement, and retained rejected queued messages without automatically retrying them. • Explicit disconnect now copies unsent, rejected, and delivery-uncertain input into an editable recovery buffer while keeping the current chat draft. Resume through Sessions, inspect history, then select and send text manually. Recovery buffers are in memory only; save them if needed. • Reacquired authentication for replacement WebSockets and kept reconnect callbacks tied to their current connection. Late responses to retired requests no longer report errors against newer work. Capability providers now retry socket-construction failures after authentication. • Made `/stop' explicitly instance-wide and required confirmation before stopping processes across chats. Confirmation cannot affect a replacement connection or session. • Fixed idle-chat cleanup after an unexpected connection loss and worker discovery when a new chat initially lacks a durable session key. • Cleared browser rows and cached snapshots when switching instances. SOUL editors retain their original instance and profile, reject overlapping saves, and keep edits made during a save marked as modified. • Changed configuration list editing to JSON arrays, preserving empty arrays, nested values, booleans, nulls, and strings containing commas. Bound eval approval answers to the request actually shown, so an expired prompt cannot approve its replacement. 3 Version 0.4.3 (2026-09-01) ════════════════════════════ • Kept project-chat names tied to their launch root while separating editor directory from gateway cwd. Passive cwd updates leave the editor context alone; an explicit “Set directory” adopts the backend-returned path. 4 Version 0.4.2 (2026-08-30) ════════════════════════════ • Kept `hermes-project-chat' buffer names anchored to their launching project, independent of the gateway working directory, and added `hermes-chat-buffer-name-function' for custom naming conventions. 5 Version 0.4.1 (2026-08-29) ════════════════════════════ • Kept named remote instances in the gateway filesystem namespace across chat creation, resume, and working-directory changes without overwriting the editor's local directory. • Serialized fresh-session setup and create-time runtime overrides so retries, concurrent callers, and stale callbacks cannot duplicate or replace work. • Preferred valid stored basic credentials before browser PKCE in auto mode, while preserving native fallback and normalizing unusable secret errors. … …
