five changes from the two newest Hermes Agent tags, v0.21.4 and v0.21.5:
(1) start a dashboard chat in any project, from your phone (#
117834#)
the chat tab in the web dashboard has a workspace picker. choose one of your projects or git repos and the new chat starts in that folder.
(2) Claude chats can keep their cache for an hour (#
118337#)
set prompt caching to auto and the chats you type in keep their cache for an hour, so a ten-minute break does not mean writing the whole context again.
(3) /branch opens a new thread on Discord, Telegram, Slack and Matrix (#
117450#)
branch a conversation in a chat app and the copy gets its own thread. the chat you were in stays on the original session.
(4) retry when the usage limit resets, in Hermes Desktop (#
116288#)
when a provider's usage limit stops a turn and says when it lifts, the error card offers to retry at that time. Hermes runs the turn once, with a countdown you can cancel.
(5) background commands get a row in the live dock (#
117464#)
in the CLI and TUI, each command the agent runs in the background shows above the prompt with its latest line of output, next to your subagents.
