During April 2026, Chalkers enhanced secure media handling in the NousResearch/hermes-agent repository by developing a Matrix adapter feature focused on encrypted media events. Using Python and the nio.crypto library, Chalkers implemented decryption of attachments, introduced caching for decrypted media types to prevent fallback to ciphertext URLs, and unified the voice message download process. The work preserved existing features such as mention stripping and included extensive automated tests to ensure reliability. Chalkers’ approach emphasized backend development and end-to-end encryption, addressing critical reliability issues and improving deployment readiness, while aligning with repository conventions and maintaining a focused, well-tested codebase.
