Bot Screen and Independent Desktop for Agents

A standout feature in v0.22 is Bot Screen: the agent gets its own independent Linux gateway desktop. Users can watch it work live, take over control seamlessly for authentication challenges, and keep the bot running even when the local desktop client is closed.

Hermes Agent v0.22.7: Opt-in Lead Bot Routing for Group Chats

Nous Research released Hermes Agent v0.22.7 (Nov 3). The standout feature is opt-in lead routing in Desktop Group Chats. Previously, any message that named nobody woke every bot in the room. Now a designated lead bot can read the message and hand it to the right agent. Cron jobs can also post directly into rooms and wake only @mentioned bots. Full curated notes are deferred to v0.23.0; this is a patch roll-up of ~174 PRs.
