Deployed as its own service (pinned nousresearch/hermes-agent:v2026.8.19),
own Matrix bot account (@hermes), own OpenRouter-backed model config, and
its own OpenAI-compatible API server (internal network only, for possible
future use by claude-agent). Joins the same control room but only responds
when explicitly @mentioned, restricted to the human user — no conflict with
claude-bot's default no-prefix chat routing. claude-agent's router now
ignores messages addressed to @hermes so both bots don't answer the same
message.
Bridge networking (the 'web' network), not the image's default host mode —
no reason for an agent container to share the host's network namespace when
everything it needs (the homeserver, OpenRouter) is reachable over the
existing bridge.
