v0.8.0 — Standalone Local-First AI Agent
Breaking Changes
- Fully decoupled from Hermes Agent — Hermes-Lite is now a standalone package with no runtime dependencies on Hermes Agent or its infrastructure.
- Configuration is now entirely via
HERMES_LITE_* environment variables and optional ~/.hermes_lite/config.yaml.
Added
__version__ exported from package root (hermes_lite.__version__)
- WebUI CLI:
--port and --host arguments
- Standalone config keys:
LITE_LOCAL_MAX_COMPLEXITY, LITE_FALLBACK_CHAIN, etc.
- YAML config support at
~/.hermes_lite/config.yaml
Changed
- Package description updated to "Standalone local-first AI agent"
- WebUI version updated to 0.8.0
- All internal references to "Hermes Agent" removed
- Prompts, router, orchestrator now use package-native naming
