Five Hermes Features Worth Knowing + Trust: Untrusted for MCP

witcheer highlighted five features (three already in v0.22.2, two incoming): agent-assisted plugin/skill install, Desktop tour, auto-discovery of installed apps for plugins, live countdown for repeating tasks, and confirmation before discarding unfinished code. Separate post covers `trust: untrusted` in config.yaml so MCP tools marked non-read-only require explicit /approve.

Practical Hermes Cloud Migration Paths

Clear guide covering four migration routes into Hermes Cloud: (1) `hermes migrate` from OpenClaw / Claude Code / Codex / Cursor / Grok Bot / OpenBot, (2) dashboard backup/restore from an existing local Hermes, (3) Desktop app side-by-side view of local and Cloud agents, (4) `hermes profile install` from a git repo. Notes that restore replaces rather than merges, and memories/sessions stay per-machine.
