Hermes-Relay Plugin v__VERSION__

Release Date: September 13, 2026

Summary

Dashboard WebSocket connections work again with current Hermes authentication helpers, while older Hermes hosts remain supported.

Fixed

• Resolve WebSocket guards from their current upstream module and retain the older-host fallback. Single-use tickets, Host/Origin/IP checks, and independent Hermes-Relay session authentication remain enforced. Missing or incomplete helper contracts deny admission.

Install / update

# Native upstream plugin path:
hermes plugins install Codename-11/hermes-relay/plugin --enable

# Classic install / update on a systemd host:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Codename-11/hermes-relay/server-v__VERSION__/install.sh | bash
# or, if already installed:
hermes-relay-update

Restart or reload the Hermes Dashboard and Relay after updating so the new manifest and prompt context are active.

Verify

hermes relay doctor
python scripts/check-plugin-version-sync.py --expect __VERSION__
