  • Add Hermes ACP driver (server/drivers/acp/hermes.ts)
  • Register HermesDriver in builtIn.ts
  • Add hermes instance to default fleet in config.ts
  • Bind harness to 0.0.0.0:8799 and Vite to 0.0.0.0:5199
  • Downgrade Node engine requirement >=24 to >=22 for server compat

Verified end-to-end: a Hermes bot spawned hermes-acp and replied through the harness

Checklist

  • pnpm typecheck and pnpm test pass locally
  • Server behavior changes come with tests (see CONTRIBUTING.md → Tests)
  • No dist-server/ edits (it's build output)
  • macOS-only code is platform-gated; no shell: true / cmd.exe string-building
  • No secrets in logs, responses, events, or argv

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds and registers the Hermes ACP driver, enables it in the default instance configuration, lowers the minimum Node.js version to 22, and binds the server and Vite development server to all network interfaces.

Changes

Hermes ACP support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Hermes driver definition and registration
server/drivers/acp/hermes.ts, server/drivers/builtIn.ts, server/config.ts
The Hermes ACP driver defines its metadata, authentication behavior, prompt formatting, and factory export. The built-in registry and default instance configuration include the hermes driver.

Network binding and runtime compatibility

Layer / File(s) Summary
Network binding and Node.js support
package.json, server/index.ts, vite.config.ts
The minimum Node.js version changes to 22. The server and Vite development server bind to 0.0.0.0.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to 5b036

The PR adds Hermes ACP support and broadens the supported Node.js range, but the current implementation may continue authentication without required credentials and may allow unsupported Node.js versions for the Vite toolchain. These bounded correctness and compatibility risks should be addressed or explicitly accepted before merging.

The lockfile resolves Vite 7.3.6, which supports ^20.19.0 || >=22.12.0. The current range accepts unsupported Node.js 22 releases below 22.12.0 for the Vite commands.

NousResearch hermes-agent ACP auth.py hermes-setup authenticate provider credentials

💡 Result:

In the NousResearch Hermes Agent, authentication is managed through a centralized runtime resolver system rather than directly within the Agent Protocol (ACP) adapter [1]. The acp_adapter/auth.py module acts as a bridge, utilizing the agent's pre-configured runtime provider credentials [2][1][3]. Key mechanisms for authentication and provider setup include: 1. Provider Detection and Advertising: The ACP server uses detect_provider() (defined in acp_adapter/auth.py) to identify active LLM runtime credentials [3]. During the initial ACP handshake, the server advertises these configured auth methods to the client [1][3]. If no credentials have been configured, it advertises a terminal setup method (ID: TERMINAL_SETUP_AUTH_METHOD_ID) which prompts the client to trigger an interactive setup flow, such as hermes setup --setup [2][1][3]. 2. Credential Management: Hermes uses hermes_cli/auth.py to handle diverse authentication types, including OAuth (e.g., Nous Portal, Qwen, Google Gemini) and traditional API keys (e.g., OpenRouter, Anthropic, Copilot) [4][5][6]. Credential state is stored securely in ~/.hermes/auth.json (for OAuth/tokens) or ~/.hermes/.env (for environment-based API keys), kept separate from general configuration in config.yaml [7][8][9]. 3. Setup and Authentication Flows: - Automated Setup: The recommended method is hermes setup --portal, which initiates the Nous Portal OAuth flow, handles credential storage, and configures the provider and gateway in a single command [7][8][10]. - Interactive Setup: Users can run hermes setup to invoke a wizard that walks through selecting providers, entering credentials, and verifying connectivity [10]. - Manual Configuration: Users can manage providers and credentials via subcommands such as hermes auth add <provider> or hermes model [7][11]. The hermes doctor command is available to validate configuration, syntax, and connectivity [12][10]. The ACP adapter does not implement its own authentication store, ensuring that it remains synchronized with the primary Hermes CLI credential resolution logic [1][3].

Restrict both listeners to the Netbird interface or authenticate the API. Port 8799 and port 5199 bind to 0.0.0.0. Authentication protects only /api/internal/*; public routes allow bot control, configuration writes, connector actions, and Box command execution. Bind both services to the Netbird address or enforce firewall rules that allow only Netbird traffic. Otherwise, add authentication before exposing either port.

Do not bind the unauthenticated harness and Vite server to 0.0.0.0: the public API includes config writes, bot control, connector actions, and Box commands. Please keep both listeners loopback-only and remove the unrelated Node engine downgrade; then add focused Hermes ACP auth/contract tests for the driver itself.

Closing this because it is no longer a safe or current integration path. Alongside the three-line Hermes driver, this branch changes the app and Vite servers from loopback-only to 0.0.0.0 (exposing a local control surface on the network), lowers the supported Node version, and targets provider/config contracts that have since changed. Hermes support should come back as a focused driver against current contracts, with tests and without unrelated network-binding changes.
