v0.5.0
4fc2128

Install works on current Hermes, first start is not silent, and setup only asks for identity plus your Vector npub.

Install

Desktop: Install in Hermes

hermes plugins install BonesGit/hermes-vector-platform --enable
hermes gateway setup      # pick Vector → create identity, enter YOUR npub
hermes gateway restart

On Linux and macOS (x86_64 and aarch64), setup downloads a checksum-verified vector-bridge from this release.

Highlights

  • Install on current Hermes. Dropped v2-only manifest_version / api_version keys. Dummy secret-shaped test strings and a rustup pipe-to-shell hint are gone so the install-time security scan no longer blocks the plugin.
  • First-run hello DM. After Ready, the bot DMs VECTOR_HOME_CHANNEL once so the chat appears in Vector. Marker sdk/welcome-sent.json; a failed send retries next connect. Does not start a Hermes turn.
  • Simpler setup. The wizard no longer asks about communities (group-only npubs, open channels, home community). Identity, your npub, pairing, and optional kind-0 profile remain. vector.communities in config.yaml still works if you want groups later.
  • Install no longer prompts for VECTOR_NPUB. That value is written by setup, not pasted at hermes plugins install.

Upgrade from 0.4.0

hermes plugins update vector-platform
hermes gateway restart

Re-run hermes gateway setup only if you want the slimmer wizard (or to refresh display YAML). Existing vector.communities in config.yaml is left alone.
