Hermes Desktop v1.1.1

Hermes Desktop v1.1.1

v1.1.1 is a focused Settings and connection-hardening release.

It keeps the same direct SSH-first model from v1.1.0, while making host
management calmer when you move between network paths, SSH aliases, or saved
hosts. The selected Hermes host remains the source of truth: no gateway service,
no local mirror, and no background sync layer.

What Changed

• Settings now serializes automatic host discovery refreshes for the active
  workspace, reducing duplicate probes and avoiding misleading transient
  connection-health states.
• Switching hosts now clears the previous "Last Checked" timestamp so Settings
  always reflects the currently selected host.
• Host management now includes a confirmed "Remove Host" action. Removing a host
  only deletes the saved local connection from Hermes Desktop; remote Hermes
  files and profiles are left untouched.
• The first "Edit Host" action now opens the selected host details immediately,
  so the sheet shows the connection being edited from the first attempt.

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
