 Experimental connector-backed platforms use the generic relay adapter in `gateway/relay/` instead of a direct platform module. When `GATEWAY_RELAY_URL` or `gateway.relay_url` is configured, the gateway registers the `relay` platform, dials the connector over an outbound WebSocket, and receives `descriptor`, `inbound`, and `interrupt_inbound` frames on that same socket. The connector advertises a `CapabilityDescriptor`; Hermes can send normal outbound replies, token-less `follow_up` operations, and interrupt frames back through the relay. The source-grounded wire contract lives in [`docs/relay-connector-contract.md`](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/blob/main/docs/relay-connector-contract.md).
