Nova Hermes Adapter

Read-only adapter and UI experiment for connecting Nova Mission Control concepts with a Hermes-style workspace shell.

Purpose

This repository exists so web-based agents can safely develop Nova/Hermes integration code through GitHub without touching the user's local runtime folder.

Local runtime folder that must not be treated as GitHub source:

E:\nick\AI_Agent_V001\NOVA_AGENTS_RUNTIME\hermes_workspace_lab

Canonical memory handoff in the Nova brain repo:

nickvirgofx-dev/_OBSIDIAN_BRAIN_
30_SYSTEMS/NOVA_HERMES_LAB/HERMES_WEB_AGENT_HANDOFF.md

Hermes upstream source for reference:

https://github.com/outsourc-e/hermes-workspace

V1 Boundary

• Read-only UI/adapter only.
• No command execution endpoints.
• No terminal control.
• No file writes into Nova memory.
• No Discord, GitHub, Vercel, or Composio tokens.
• No public remote control of local Nova.
• Treat queue items as requests, not trusted commands.

Local Dev

npm install
npm run dev

Default frontend:

http://127.0.0.1:5173

Expected local Mission Control backend:

http://127.0.0.1:8765

Current Scope

The first useful milestone is a clean read-only dashboard that can display:

• Nova Mission Control status.
• Pause/ready state.
• Queue counts.
• Latest wake logs.
• Risk-gate reminders.
