@ -147,12 +147,41 @@ and automatically subscribes when it is added to another channel. Buzz channel
membership therefore remains the access boundary; Hermes does not need a
separate channel list in its own configuration.
Current `buzz-acp` builds also publish the Hermes identity's relay-directory
profile at startup. This makes the externally hosted identity appear by its
Buzz display name under **Agents → External agents** and in the `@` mention picker
for users admitted by the bridge's inbound author gate. The directory event
contains identity, channel, owner, and audience metadata—not Hermes or Buzz
credentials.
The verified owner can customize the external agent's Buzz display name and
avatar. Buzz applies that presentation consistently to cards, profiles,
messages, mentions, DMs, and sidebars. It does not modify Hermes configuration,
Soul, prompts, memory, provider, skills, or identity.
To expose Hermes ACP activity in the owner's Buzz Desktop, add:
```bash
export BUZZ_ACP_RELAY_OBSERVER="true"
```
This publishes encrypted kind `24200` frames addressed to the verified owner.
Desktop renders the live lifecycle, tool, response, and usage stream in the
agent's **Activity log**. The relay treats these frames as ephemeral, so
Desktop must be online before the turn starts; its local observer archive is
the durable owner-side history.
Headless bridges commonly run with ACP permission bypass enabled because no
editor is present to answer approval dialogs. Treat that as privileged
automation: use a dedicated operating-system account, restrict which Buzz users
can prompt the agent, and grant membership only in channels where Hermes is
expected to work.
For an end-to-end check, open the external-agent card, customize its avatar,
verify the avatar on a channel message and sidebar entry, open **Activity log**,
then trigger a fresh mention. A complete test shows the signed Hermes reply and
the owner-decrypted ACP transcript without changing Hermes-owned state.
