During May 2026, contributed two feature enhancements to the NousResearch/hermes-agent repository, focusing on expanding Telegram integration. Developed a Guest Mode that allows explicit mentions from non-allowlisted groups, updating configuration files and adding targeted tests to ensure correct behavior. Implemented safe streaming of Telegram message edits by sending partial edits as plain text and applying MarkdownV2 formatting only to the final message, reducing the risk of message rejection. The work emphasized backend development, configuration management, and test-driven development using Python and YAML. These changes improved moderation flexibility, broadened audience reach, and enhanced the reliability of Telegram message handling.
