Hermes Merged 190 PRs on November 2 — Memory, Migration, Desktop, Security

Luke The Dev posted a detailed breakdown of the November 2 merge window (190 PRs). Highlights: gateway no longer freezes for memory trims; `hermes migrate <agent>` installs importers for Grok Bot and OpenBot; each Desktop terminal tab owns its own gateway; old phone-app chats continue in Desktop; local web server now trusts only loopback origins for CORS/WebSockets; MCP servers use the correct profile home; transient 401s no longer kill turns; 100+ plugin catalog additions and bumps.

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.
