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.

Why it matters

Multi-agent rooms were noisy. Lead routing is a practical control that reduces wasted wake-ups and token spend while keeping the flexibility of group collaboration. Immediate value for anyone running multiple Hermes bots.
