hermes-platform-stagewhisper 0.32.0

StageWhisper platform adapter for Hermes Agent

StageWhisper Hermes Platform Adapter

Hermes platform adapter that exposes the StageWhisper desktop app as a first-class messaging surface for your Hermes Agent. Live-call transcripts arrive on a :reasoning chat thread, in-call chat arrives on a :chat thread, and the agent's reply is POSTed back to the desktop's per-task callback URL.

Install

pipx install hermes-platform-stagewhisper
stagewhisper-hermes-install

The installer drops a minimal shim into ~/.hermes/plugins/stagewhisper/:

• PLUGIN.yaml
• adapter.py (6-line shim that re-exports the in-package adapter)

pipx upgrade hermes-platform-stagewhisper patches the adapter without re-running the installer. stagewhisper-hermes-install --uninstall removes the shim.

Configure

Required environment variables (set in ~/.hermes/.env or via hermes config):

Variable	Purpose
STAGEWHISPER_RELAY_TOKEN	Bearer token shared with the desktop app (32+ chars).
STAGEWHISPER_LISTEN_PORT	Loopback TCP port the adapter binds (1024-65535).

Optional:

Variable	Default	Purpose
STAGEWHISPER_LISTEN_HOST	127.0.0.1	Must be loopback.
STAGEWHISPER_ALLOWED_USERS	unset	Comma-separated session_id allowlist.
STAGEWHISPER_ALLOW_ALL_USERS	unset	1 to bypass allowlist.
STAGEWHISPER_MAX_CONCURRENT	4	Max in-flight tasks.
STAGEWHISPER_CALLBACK_TIMEOUT_S	10	Callback HTTP timeout.
STAGEWHISPER_DEDUP_CACHE_SIZE	2048	Idempotency LRU size.

After setting the env vars, restart Hermes. hermes status will list StageWhisper (plugin) - connected.

Wire protocol

Desktop posts to http://127.0.0.1:<port>/v1/incoming with bearer auth. Three event reasons:

• transcript_chunk (only is_final: true routes through the agent) -> chat thread sw:<session>:reasoning
• chat_message -> chat thread sw:<session>:chat
• system_prelude -> stashed and prepended to the next inbound message for that session as [Context: ...], then cleared

The adapter POSTs the agent's reply to <callback.url>/tasks/<task_id> on the desktop side, where callback.url is a loopback base URL the desktop included on the inbound event.
