Hermes Plugin Guard 0.2.1: TLS vs network hints

Maurice (KI-Vater) posted a before/after of Hermes Plugin Guard v0.2.1 on a synthetic plugin. Removing `verify=False` clears the TLS warning. Outbound-call hints stay on purpose: a network call needs review and is not auto-malicious. The scan does not import or run the target. He is explicit that a pass is not a safety guarantee, and asked for real rule-id examples of useful vs noisy warnings.

Why it matters

Distinct from ClawScan/AIG (covered yesterday). This is the local pre-install scanner operators run on their own Hermes plugins.

Tracekit 1.5.0 + Event Horizon: Tamper-Evident Flight Recorder for Agents

Cygnux Labs released Tracekit 1.5.0, a Hermes-compatible plugin that intercepts tool calls (allow/block/hold), signs them into a verifiable hash-chain log (.tkb file), and now visualizes them as an "Event Horizon" map (project / machine / outside world). Blocked calls flare red; held calls wait; egress shows as jets. Includes Proof-Carrying Messages for agent-to-agent claims, A2A gateway, and offline verification. Strong test results on tamper attacks and harmful calls.
