182 Hermes PRs: free Fast Search, 900k Codex, catalog lockdown

Luke’s Oct 2 digest lists 182 merged PRs. Hermes Release Watch pulled the three that change daily use: Codex OAuth can select `gpt-6.1-sol-900k` for a larger window; registered Nous accounts get managed Perplexity Fast Search without paid credits (guests stay on the keyless ring); kanban workers can reschedule their own cards with `kanban_schedule`. Security items in the same batch: the plugin catalog refuses plugins that override Hermes core or Desktop at runtime; X and Instagram embeds no longer run vendor scripts in the Desktop window; automatic git worktrees no longer run a cloned repo’s filters or hooks; at-rest secrets hardened in browser profiles, media caches, and the in-flight journal.

Why it matters

This is the real Hermes day, not a version tag. Search cost, context window, and a catalog rule that blocks core overrides are the pieces operators will hit.

Hermes Skill Lock + Pre-LLM Blocking Hooks (v0.22.6/7 window)

HermesWatcher highlighted key changes from the Nov 1–3 merge window (rolled into v0.22.6/7): Skill Lock lets you lock individual skills from Desktop or CLI so Hermes cannot rewrite them via skill_manage, write_file, patch, or terminal. Plugins and shell hooks can now block a request before it ever reaches the model (no tokens spent). Approval prompts surface hidden Unicode/control characters. `/model reset` restores default model without losing conversation. Cron jobs receive actual run time + timezone.
