Hermes Talk 0.20.2

0.20.x is the floating panel release. You can talk and type in the same conversation, address the exact Codex or Claude thread you mean, steer or cancel a running job and answer its approvals from a task card, and get spoken updates that never claim more than the transport can prove.

0.20.2 finishes the window. After you connect, the floating window shrinks to the round Talk button and expands again on hover; both are toggles under Advanced. Around the control the window is transparent and click-through, so it sits over your work instead of covering it, and you can click and drag the button to move it. A reconnect never closes a panel you pinned. hermes talk check now passes on the ChatGPT-subscription GPT-Live lane, and doctor names the live model there (#161).

For context: 0.20.0 added the panel itself, one authenticated route for typed operations, live replay, typed attach and read-only recipient history. 0.20.1 added attachments on a worker start.

The Desktop floating window needs a host side that lives in my Hermes fork and is not upstream yet.

Install:

hermes plugins install TheSmokeDev/hermes-talk --enable
pip install "hermes-talk[audio]"   # mic + speaker support; skip if dashboard-only

Upgrading: hermes plugins update hermes-talk, then restart the gateway.
