Aria pins Hermes 0.21.5 and OpenClaw 2026.9.7, opt-in only

Aria Workspaces moved container Hermes to runtime 0.21.5 with plugin compatibility fixes, and OpenClaw to 2026.9.7 with gateway updates and config migration. Both upgrades are opt-in, take a state backup, and roll back on failure. Native Hermes stays on the official desktop-compatible release; 0.21.5 applies to container installs. Omarchy install flow moved to 4.0.4 with a whole-machine backup before native upgrades.

Why it matters

Hosted users need the version split. Container 0.21.5 is not the same pin as native Desktop.

Hermes + OpenClaw Hold ~35.8% of Tracked Agent Repo Stars

Analyst post notes OpenClaw (~394k stars) + Hermes (~260k) account for 35.79% of stars in Agent Radar’s tracked cohort. OpenClaw leads cumulative attention; Hermes leads recent absolute additions. Caveats on non-unique users and that stars ≠ execution quality or retention.

Mapping the Open Agent Landscape (Including Hermes & OpenClaw)

A practical map of nine open-source agent systems organized by style: bot rosters (rakazo, OpenMausBot, OpenBot), agent teams (eigent, paperclip), single agents (openhuman, hermes-agent), and chat-native (nanoclaw, openclaw). Includes star counts and one-line positioning. Advice: pick the one that matches how you already work, run it on a real task for a week, keep only if it saves more time than it costs to host.
