Hermes Desktop v0.9.1

v0.9.1 is a small fixes and hardening release.

It keeps the same direct SSH-first model from v0.9.0, while smoothing a few
rough edges reported by early users. The goal is simple: make the desktop app a
little calmer and more ready for the next bigger step.

No extra gateway layer. No local mirror. The selected Hermes host remains the
source of truth.

What Changed

  • SSH service checks now retry once without connection multiplexing when the
    first attempt fails with a reachability-style error. This helps cases where a
    stale SSH control socket makes Desktop look less healthy than Terminal.
  • Kanban board loading is more resilient when a host has Hermes Agent code and
    an on-disk Kanban database that are out of sync. Desktop can show a direct
    database view when possible and explains that the host schema needs attention.
  • Session transcripts hide leaked terminal control fragments, including partial
    ANSI color sequences that can appear as stray text in the message column.
  • Session model labels now prefer the latest model metadata found in the
    transcript, so a live model switch is less likely to leave stale labels in the
    session list.
  • Embedded Chat startup no longer sends the initial fallback input twice.

Compatibility

  • macOS 14 or newer
  • SSH from this Mac to the Hermes host must already work without interactive
    prompts
  • python3 must be available on the host
  • Chat and Terminal resume require the remote hermes CLI on the
    non-interactive SSH PATH
  • public releases are still ad-hoc signed and not notarized by Apple

Still True

  • Hermes Desktop connects directly over SSH
  • the Hermes host remains the source of truth
  • sessions, Kanban, cron jobs, files, skills, usage, Chat, and Terminal all stay
    anchored to the selected host and profile
  • workflow presets remain local launch helpers, not a second transport model or
    synchronization layer

Notes

  • universal macOS build for Apple Silicon and Intel
  • ad-hoc signed and not notarized yet, so first launch may still require
    right-click -> Open / Open Anyway
  • release archive: HermesDesktop.app.zip
  • checksum: HermesDesktop.app.zip.sha256
  • manifest: HermesDesktop.app.zip.manifest.json
