Hermes Dreaming v0.2.0 Release Notes

Status: approved for release and shipped as v0.2.0 on 2026-05-28.

What changed since v0.1.1

  • Review UX got a real decision loop: dreaming summarize <artifact>, dreaming approve <artifact> <proposal-id|all>, dreaming reject <artifact> <proposal-id> --reason ..., and dreaming review --open now make the artifact easier to inspect and act on.
  • Approvals and rejections persist in artifact metadata and audit history. They do not touch live roots until apply runs.
  • Provider output is now stricter and safer. Proposal blobs must validate before they become real proposals, and provenance has to point back to the source bundle instead of some made-up path.
  • The digest flow is now local and deterministic. It can rank artifacts and proposals, show what changed since the last dream, and render a weekly rollup without sending anything to Telegram by default.
  • Onboarding is finally honest and usable. The repo now includes install/update docs, an offline quickstart, persona examples, and a safety page that spells out what Dreaming can and cannot mutate.
  • The first phase-7 slice landed as a real dogfoodable feature: dreaming report-card now renders a redacted shareable report card from an artifact and can emit a JSON companion.
  • Live-memory policy work added idempotence and capacity guardrails, plus test coverage that keeps the real ~/.hermes state out of the way during verification.

Verification run

Commands run during integration:

  • python -m pytest -q
  • python -m build
  • git diff --check
  • docs grep for stale PyPI claims and false release text

Results:

  • full test suite passed
  • build passed
  • diff check passed
  • docs stayed honest about the PyPI namespace collision and did not claim a PyPI release

Packaging and distribution notes

  • PyPI is still skipped. The hermes-dreaming namespace is already taken by someone else, so do not publish under that name.
  • If distribution is revisited, it probably needs a new package name, likely hermes-agent-dreaming.
  • GitHub release/tag creation is handled in this shipping step for v0.2.0.

Release verdict

This is the next obvious release after v0.1.1.
It is materially better for both Tony and external users, and it is now the shipped v0.2.0 line.
