Camofox-browser is a self-hosted Node.js server wrapping Camoufox
(Firefox fork with C++ fingerprint spoofing). When CAMOFOX_URL is set,
all 11 browser tools route through the Camofox REST API instead of
the agent-browser CLI.
Maps 1:1 to the existing browser tool interface:
- Navigate, snapshot, click, type, scroll, back, press, close
- Get images, vision (screenshot + LLM analysis)
- Console (returns empty with note — camofox limitation)
Setup: npm start in camofox-browser dir, or docker run -p 9377:9377
Then: CAMOFOX_URL=http://localhost:9377 in ~/.hermes/.env
Advantages over Browserbase (cloud):
- Free (no per-session API costs)
- Local (zero network latency for browser ops)
- Anti-detection at C++ level (bypasses Cloudflare/Google bot detection)
- Works offline, Docker-ready

- Upgraded the agent-browser dependency from version 0.7.6 to 0.13.0 in package.json.
- Added functionality to kill stale agent-browser daemon processes in browser_tool.py to prevent orphaned instances from previous runs.
- Modified `.env.example` to set default terminal environment to 'local' and updated Docker, Singularity, and Modal image references to use 'python:3.11-slim'.
- Updated `package.json` to include Node.js engine requirements and modified post-install script for better user guidance.
- Enhanced `pyproject.toml` to reflect new dependencies and optional dependencies for modal and development environments.
- Improved `README.md` with additional setup instructions for Singularity and Node.js dependencies, along with clearer toolset documentation.
- Refactored `model_tools.py` to include new tool definitions and ensure consistency across toolsets.
- Updated architecture documentation to clarify tool structure and registration processes.
- Created package.json to define project metadata, dependencies, and scripts for the Hermes-Agent.
- Added package-lock.json to lock dependency versions, ensuring consistent installations across environments.
- Included agent-browser as a dependency for enhanced tool-calling capabilities.
