Hermes: 175 PRs, memory providers leave core

Luke’s Oct 3 digest covers 175 merges from Oct 2. Hermes Release Watch pulled the operator set: catalog adds include Gmail, WhatsApp, Apple Health, Agent Builder, and several memory providers. Supermemory and Honcho install from the catalog; core no longer bundles Honcho. Memory-provider Python deps migrate on Desktop, the gateway, and scripted updates without a terminal. Plugin-guard denylist noise no longer blocks or prompts. Local MCP and plugin tools in one tool_call run instead of being rejected. SMS, email, and WeCom deliver long replies and cron output in full. Desktop skips rebuilds when HEAD did not move. Windows tray restore no longer leaves the window dead to input.

Cover art for Releases: Hermes: 175 PRs, memory providers leave core

Why it matters

Yesterday’s curator file covered the prior 182-PR day (Fast Search, 900k Codex, catalog lockdown). This is the next batch, and the memory-provider split is the structural change.

142 merges on 5 Oct: usage-wall chip, plugin slash skills, dashboard login hardening

Luke The Dev’s digest of 142 PRs merged 5 Oct. Operator set: Desktop shows a progress chip before a subscription hits its usage wall, and rate-limited providers say why and until when in model pickers. Settings gets one Plugins pane. Plugin skills appear as `/plugin:skill` in TUI, Desktop, and CLI and can be stacked. `hermes chat -q` no longer hangs on approval, memory, MCP, or vault prompts. `hermes update` no longer stalls on a 20-minute git repack. Gateway reloads a platform whose plugin failed at startup without a full restart; Telegram flushes messages held during a disconnect. Dashboard login caps request bodies, bounds login values, and ignores spoofed `X-Forwarded-For`. Catalog memory providers (hindsight, mnemosyne) stop failing on every start, and installing one actually activates it. Memory writes on hand-formatted files fail with a fix hint instead of a silent miss. Opus 5.5 keeps thinking on; Anthropic summarized thinking is no longer promoted to the final answer. New hooks for human-input requests, post-gateway admission, and which cron run you are in.
