Apr 1, 2026

April 2026 saw a focused stabilization and expansion iteration for Hermes agent, delivering critical reliability improvements, security hardening, and broader integration capabilities. Notable work covered gateway stability (race conditions, session eviction, flood control), update workflow safety during fallback, and resilient token/usage tracking in insights. The team also delivered a wave of feature improvements and plugin integrations, expanding automation surfaces and developer ergonomics. Representative commits illustrate the breadth of fixes and enhancements across subsystems (for example: fix(update): preserve optional extras during fallback install; fix(insights): persist token usage for non-CLI sessions; fix(agent): classify think-only empty responses before retrying; fix(gateway): race condition, photo media loss, and flood control in Telegram). These changes reduce production incidents, improve reliability, and enable richer integrations for customers and internal teams.
