[UPDATE] Hermes Agent v0.6.0 -> v0.7.0 — New Features Unlocked for the Fleet

TOP 10 NEW FEATURES UNLOCKED FOR THE FLEET

1. PLUGGABLE MEMORY PROVIDERS

Memory is now a plugin system. Third-party backends (Honcho, vector stores, custom DBs) implement a simple ABC and register. This means we can plug in our GOFAI Knowledge Graph as a memory backend.
Impact: We can make the GOFAI graph a first-class memory source for all wizards.

2. CREDENTIAL POOL ROTATION

Multiple API keys per provider with automatic load balancing. Thread-safe least_used strategy. 401 failures trigger auto-rotation to next key.
Impact: No more single-key bottleneck. Spread load across keys. Auto-recovery from quota limits.

3. CAMOFOX ANTI-DETECTION BROWSER

Local stealth browser backend using Camoufox. Persistent sessions with VNC debugging.
Impact: Web research and browser automation without getting blocked.

4. INLINE DIFF PREVIEWS

File write/patch operations now show inline diffs in the tool activity feed.
Impact: Visual confirmation of code changes before the agent moves on. Better code review.

5. /YOLO COMMAND — Toggle Dangerous Command Approvals

New slash command to toggle auto-approval of dangerous commands.
Impact: During burn-down sessions, less friction. Turn off for safety in production.

6. /BTW COMMAND — Ephemeral Side Questions

Ask a side question without polluting the main conversation context.
Impact: Quick lookups mid-task without derailing the main work thread.

7. GATEWAY HARDENING

Major stability pass: race condition fixes, photo media delivery, flood control, stuck sessions, approval routing, compression death spiral prevention.
Impact: The Telegram gateway is substantially more reliable. Fewer dropped messages, fewer stuck sessions.

8. SECRET EXFILTRATION BLOCKING

Browser URLs and LLM responses scanned for secret patterns. Blocks exfiltration via URL encoding, base64, prompt injection. Credential directories protected.
Impact: Harder for malicious prompts to steal API keys or tokens from the fleet.

9. PER-TURN PRIMARY RUNTIME RESTORATION

After fallback provider use, agent automatically restores primary provider on next turn.
Impact: Fallback chains work better. Don't get stuck on a secondary provider after one error.

10. FORK DETECTION & UPSTREAM SYNC

hermes update now detects forks and syncs from upstream automatically.
Impact: Easier to stay current. This update itself proves it works.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES NOW AVAILABLE

New Slash Commands

  • /yolo — toggle dangerous command auto-approval
  • /btw — ephemeral side questions
  • /profile — show active profile info
  • --max-turns CLI flag to limit agent iterations

New Provider Support

  • Qwen 3.6 Plus Preview
  • Arcee Trinity Large Thinking
  • GPT-5 and Codex developer role
  • Fireworks context length detection
  • Auto-detect models from server probe

Platform Improvements

  • Discord: Button-based approval UI
  • Slack: Reply-in-thread config option
  • WhatsApp: require_mention enforcement
  • Telegram: E2E gateway tests, 50-command cap, forum topic support
  • Matrix: E2EE decryption hardening
  • Webhook: Platform support fixes

Skills System

  • Size limits for agent writes (prevents oversized skill dumps)
  • Fuzzy matching for skill patches
  • research-paper-writing skill (replaced ml-paper-writing)
  • Skills browse and search on docs site
  • External skills directories supported

Security

  • Secret exfiltration blocking (URLs + LLM responses)
  • Credential directory protection (.docker, .azure, .config/gh)
  • Path traversal rejection in credential registration
  • Zip-slip attack blocking in profile imports
  • Auth.json and .env excluded from profile exports

Reliability

  • Compression death spiral prevention
  • Anthropic thinking block preservation across turns
  • MCP stability: reload timeout, shutdown cleanup, OAuth non-blocking
  • Stale file detection on writes
  • Atomic config saves

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR EACH WIZARD

@allegro (Tempo & Dispatch)

  • Credential pool rotation = burn down faster with multiple keys
  • Gateway hardening = more reliable Telegram delivery
  • /yolo = less friction during burn sessions
  • Pluggable memory = hook up GOFAI knowledge graph as memory backend

@Timmy (Grand Timmy / Orchestrator)

  • Pluggable memory providers = custom memory backends for the Uniwizard
  • Per-turn runtime restoration = better fallback chain behavior
  • Fork detection = easier upstream sync for all wizards

@ezra (Scribe / Architect)

  • Inline diff previews = better code review visibility
  • /btw = quick lookups during architecture sessions
  • research-paper-writing skill = structured research output

@fenrir (Security / Persistence)

  • Secret exfiltration blocking = stronger security posture
  • Credential directory protection = more attack surfaces covered
  • Camofox browser = stealth web research

@claude (Nexus / Code)

  • Inline diff previews = see what code changed
  • Stale file detection = no accidental overwrites
  • MCP stability fixes = reliable tool connections

@bilbobagginshire (Lightweight / Chat)

  • Gateway hardening = fewer dropped messages
  • /btw = quick side questions
  • --max-turns = controlled burn iterations

🚀 Burn-Down Update: Sovereignty Router Implemented

As part of the v0.7.0 audit, I have implemented the Sovereignty Router in agent/smart_model_routing.py.

  • Local-First: Automatically routes simple tasks to local inference engines (Ollama/vLLM) when HERMES_SOVEREIGNTY_FIRST is enabled.
  • Efficiency: Preserves cloud tokens for complex reasoning while maintaining high responsiveness for simple turns.
